Can the "currently running app" bar affect iPad functionning?

A few weeks ago, i went to use my iPad and the screen was half black, half grey with a white line scrolling across it. Nothing was responding, even the power off button. I plugged it on to my pc and was able to sync it and I planned on taking it to the apple store to get a new one. However, the next day, the screen was perfectly fine and everything was working. I decided to wait  and everything worked until a couple of weeks later when the same thing happened again only for a few hours. I took it to the apple store and the guy double clicked the home button and found about 40-50 apps in that "currently open" bar at the bottom. He said this was using up too much memory and that I needed to clear all apps on this bar every few days and this is what was making my screen go blank. Does this make any sense?  I haven't had more problems in the last 3 weeks but I am wondering if he was correct or if something else is wrong and it will happen again.

You could certainly have had too many things open/running at the same time.  It's a good idea to routinely close apps you aren't using.  Particularly apps that can continue running in the background, such as Pandora or iPod.......

    I can't update my apps in my iPad because it asks me to sign in to an outdated id which is different to my current Apple ID

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them. If you bought the apps with old username and password, you have to continue to use them to update the apps.
    If you changed the username because you got a new email address, sign out of your old ID in Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap the old ID and sign out then sign in with the new/changed ID.

  • Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad?

    HELP!!! Where can I download the Apple Podcast app for my iPad? I urgently needed space to snap some photos, so I quickly deleted several low priority apps to make space.  One of those was the apple Podcast app which I now can't find anywhere.

    There is no Podcasts app that "comes with" the iPad. It is made by Apple but you have to download it. See if this direct link works:
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/podcasts/id525463029?mt=8

  • How can I get the adobe reader app on my iPad to accept my login info?

    I can login to adobe with my computer, and Safari on my iPad, but when I try to login with the adobe reader app on my iPad, I get an incorrect user ID or password message.

    Try logging on to https://exportpdf.adobe.com/. See if it asks for date of birth, if so, fill it in. For some people (bizarrely) this fixes it.

  • I put the BT WiFi app on my iPad Mini and now I can't connect to the internet.  Please help

    I put the Bt WiFi app on my iPad Mini  and now I can't connect to the internet.  Please Help

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • How we can get the current running user information in BusinessOne

    Hi experts,
    How we can get the current running user information in BusinessOne Application,
    Based on the user details i want to assign some functionality,
    Regards,
    Saidarao yakkala

    Hi,
    As per me you can't get detail by server side.
    If you want to know who are connected then you can use sp_who2 procedure in SQL query.
    That will display who are login.
    For more detail you have to check LOG file on client side in SAP B1 > Log folder.
    Thanks

  • I can't open any apps on my iPad. Everything goes back to the main menu. Anybody have a solution to this?

    Has anybody got some advice? I can't open any apps on my iPad. Everything goes back to the main menu immediately.

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Note:
    Also consider Deleting any Apps you have Purchased / Downloaded but you now never use...

  • My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    My iPod shuts off repeatedly when using the Nike running app. Have already tried the headphones solution that Apple has recommended. Can anyone help?

    Using the 5th generation iPod. Purchased it a few months ago before the new one was launched. Yes the workout randomly ends when I am no where near the time or distance I have programmed in. I keep tried to restart the workout and the same thing keeps happening over and over again. I figured it may have been the headphones but I have even tried holding the headphone connection in place, and different headphones as well and it continues to happen.

  • Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?

    Is there a way to link or create a widget that links back to the iTunes U app on your iPad from your iBook?
    I have already found the Apple Widget Builder (http://widgets.itunes.apple.com/builder/) and that works fine if you want to link to the "App Store", but I want to know if there is a way to "open an app" that is already installed on the iPad instead of double tapping the home button to switch between apps. (I know using the home button is very simple, but I am trying to find an even easier way to just "tap a widget" or "link" that will open iTunes U right up) I am only asking if this is possible for people who may have a hard time running an iPad at the beginning.
    I appreciate any help, thanks!

    I appreciate your help, but I had already looked at LinkMaker and I thought that was my answer, but as far as I could tell that still only links to an app in the app store. Yes it will link to iTunes U in the app store and you can then hit Open, but that is too drawn out of a process. We would like to know a way to just open the app directly.
    Thank you!

    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

  • Display the Current Running Files in the Label Control

    I have a label control in Windows Form Application, and i have the application to display the building and progress of the projects in the label control using C# code. Along with the update of the label, the progress bar should also show progress simultaneously,
    according to the building of the project. How should i do this ??
    Thanks.
    Tanmay

    Hello All;
    I want to know how can i display the current running project in the label control along side the same, i want to  display the progress of the files that are build successfully through a progress bar.
    What i need to do is when i click the button named as "Build" in the GUI it will display the selected projects to build from the CheckedListbox into the label control placed in the GUI.
    Please, provide me some hint regarding the same.
    Thanks.
    Tanmay
    Hello,
    It depends on what your application is and how you build these files, if possible you could share them with us.
    The most common way to display the progress, is to set the text for that label before or after we execute the line building these files.
    You could place the lines setting the text or change the progressbar.value before or after the building lines.
    Here is a simple sample using progressbar with a backgroundworker.

    I bought an app for my macbook pro. How can I share that app, which is ipad compatible, to my iPad.

    You should check with the software publisher. Although you will need a separate iPad version of the program, some publishers make the iPad version cheap or even free, knowing that you have to buy the Mac or PC version to get the most out of the iPad version.
