Are Apps always open?

Are the Apps always running. AS I scroll horizontally I see open Apps?

Yes, until you Force-Quit them. After double-tapping Home, that horizontal list is indeed all running apps, which iOS 7 now supports. Flick them upward to force-quit.
Jim, maybe not "running" per se (no CPU cycles), but definitely taking up RAM.

Can we make an App always open in Full Screen?

Is there a way to make certain Apps (ie: Safari & iTunes) always open in Full Screen as default?

The same with mine but i know how to solve. hope it helps.
go to system preferances -> general -> uncheck close windows when quitting an aplication.
that works for me though. So everytime i close my safari and reopen it will still in fullscreen.
Have a good one.

Mail app always opens in default inbox

I have a 4s running 6.1.3. Currently, when I open the mail app, it opens with the default inbox. I would prefer to open to the mailboxes 'main' screen that shows all the accounts as opposed to an inbox. Is this possible? I cannot find any prompts in the mail app or the settings to do this. I have read a few discussions, but there does not seem to be a concrete answer.

I gave you two answers in my reply. You didn't like the answer and cried about what if...
This is all I will say.
Good luck.

Music app always opens on iPhone 4/4s

My husband only uses his iPhone 4 (or 4s--not sure which he has) for the phone and the email. Yet every time that he opens his phone, it opens with the music app, or sometimes the map app or the calendar app--three things he doesn't use his phone for. So every time he has to close out of that to open his email or phone. I definitely see how that would be annoying. I've gone through the settings and didn't see anything that would address this. How can I help him? Thank you!

Yea I don't know. I mean I don't really think the iPod is declining (that was bad phrasing on my part) although that is what some have speculated. Everything just seems to be moving more toward iOS with the newer iPods, that eventually they may disappear. But anyway, this is too off topic. Let's just try and help the OP.

Mail.app always puts a sent email in Outbox, sends on open

Mail.app always wants to have one of my sent emails in the Outbox.
When I open Mail, it send the message.
This is really annoying as it is a message I've already sent, so I have to let the recipient know to ignore it.
It is a different email each time. If I delete the message from the Outbox, it appears as though the Outbox is empty. But if I click on another Mailbox, then click back on the Outbox, there is another email waiting to be sent when I re-open Mail.app!
I've tried rebuilding the mailbox, which doesn't fix it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
James.

Thanks Allan.
Good suggestion. Tried it but unfortunately it didn't work. it recreates the Outbox directory in ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes when I open it. The directory no longer has anything in it (ie no info.plist of Massages folder).
But when I am in Mail.app it still has a message in the outbox. I have to delete it quickly when I open Mail.app, otherwise it will send it.
After I delete it, the window has no messages in it, but on the left the mailbox has a '1' in circle next to it. When I click on another mailbox then click back on Outbox, a 'new' (but previously sent) email is there ready to resend.
I'm using IMAP and my Mail.app at home does not have this problem (both machines are using Leopard 10.5.3)

The finder app on my Macbook is always open, no quit option and no force quit option. any ideas?

The finder app on my Macbook is always open. No "quit"option appears, and Force quit doesn't work to make it quit. Any ideas?
Thanks

There's absolutely no reason to quit it, just for curiosity maybe.
Most people think Finder runs the Mac GUI and that's why you can't quit it, but they are wrong. This is for Windows and Windows explorer. Mac is way stronger than Windows, thus doesn't need to run it's GUI on finder. There's no option to quit finder for pure symbolism, because Finder doesn't bother anyone and is the way the OS uses to manage files. However, if your curiosity is too strong, you can do this:
Enable Voice Feedback, Voice control, whatever you call it.
Put it to always work with a Keyword active.
Put focus on Finder and say "(Keyword), Quit this application".
Mac will quit finder. BOOM.
Nothing else will happens, the Mac will keep running and Finder won't start again until you (or some app) open it.
That was made on OS X Mountain Lion.

Web-app icons always open a new page?

Is there any way to prevent homescreen webapp shortcut icons from always opening a new page in the browser? It sort of defeats the purpose of keeping cool little webapp shortcuts on the home screen if I'm constantly closing extra browser pages all the time. Might as well just use bookmarks within safari. I use certain apps several times a day, and end up with a bunch of instances of the same app all "open" in safari each time I return (counterintuitive). Is there a setting that I'm missing, or am I better off using bookmarks?

At this point it appears that you can't control it. I would assume that the link the icons calls up has an added target="_blank" or a javascript window.open command. As these are added at the time the icon/link is created, you can't go back and edit them out.

HHi having trouble viewing a downloaded file from a site my iPad is telling me I don have a app to open file . And have downloaded loads of apps and still no joy . Have tried this on my android phone to and still nothing. Please can anyone help as slowly going crazy. Thanks tim

What type of file? From what site? What Apps have you downloaded for it?
Perhaps if you provide details of what you are doing we can provide more precise help.

I just upgraded from Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

I just upgraded from Logic Express to Pro. When I open a project in Finder and neither Express nor Pro are running, it always opens in Express. I now want projects to open in Pro. "Open With ..." says Express is the default. How can I make Pro the default instead?

Well, when I've done things like that it always sems like a good idea to keep an application that you know the file will definitely open in...

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)

Can't eject FW drives - says app is open, yet none are open

This is mildly disturbing: After only 6 months of use, I just got a "Can't eject drives" and something about data being "used" or an app being open, yet *no* applications are open - everything was quit / closed before I chose to eject the drives. Just like I've done for 10 years on Macs.
The warning prompt showed an option to "force eject" which I did not do, nor did I chose "try again". I stopped trying to eject. Then, even *more* disturbing, I clicked on one of the drives and it showed "0 items" on the drive.
I restarted and now the drives appear normal.
Just prior to this happening, I had an additional self-powered Glyph drive at the end of the daisy-chain. Disturbingly #3: while this drive was connected, I received a warning prompt that said "drive wasn't ejected properly" and it disappeared from my desktop. I had done nothing to cause this, it simply happenend. I'm guessing this issue is due to the self-powered factor - I probably should have had this closer in-line to the Mac FW800 bus.
Would this daisy-chain scenario cause the non-eject problem?
Here is my setup:
FW800 out to older Glyph drive via FW400 connection, then daisy-chained to two *brand new* Glyph drives via FW800 connections. ALL drives were formatted properly when I purchased them.
OS 10.8.5
I remember this happening on 10.7, 10.6, 10.5 etc... Hasn't Apple figured this out?
Is there a Disk Utility I should run to make sure all my drives are ok?

I don't think that's the case because the drive successfully ejects upon closure of the QT player. I'm not sure if it is the way they wrote file handling in general in Mountain Lion, or if it is a QT Player 7 issue, but it is definately annoying.
It seems that the Volume becomes locked when a file is opened. When that file is closed, the Volume remains locked until the application that opened the file is closed. This seems to work different than it used to.
