Close app's on my mac

     I have hjust downloaded a trial app and like to delete this app again.
The message comes up that the APP is still running, how do I close this app so I wille be able to delete this app.
regards
Marcel

Make sure its name is in the Menu bar, Command+Tab until you see it in the little window that comes up and is highlighted/selected then let go of those keys, and hit Command+q (Q).
That is the way to close all active programs once there name is in the Menu bar.

  • Why isn't my app store on my mac working?

    Every time I try and go into my app store on my mac to update my apps, it sits there loading before a box pops up and say "App store cannot verify a secure connection with the App store. Would you like to connect anyway?" I press continue and it just sits on a black screen and I can't do anything.
    What can i do to fix it?

    This procedure is complicated, but you probably won't have to do all of it.
    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until the issue is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If it's down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Check that the date (including the year) and time shown by your system clock are correct.
    Step 3
    Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate.
    Step 4
    If you connect to the Internet through an HTTPS or SOCKS proxy server, follow the instructions in this support article, or deselect the proxy entirely.
    Step 5
    Boot in safe mode and test.
    Step 6
    Make sure Parental Controls aren't active for your account.
    Step 7
    Follow the instructions in this support article to change your DNS settings. If there's no change, revert the settings.
    Step 8
    If possible, test on a different network, such as a public Wi-Fi hotspot or the cellular network of your phone.
    Step 9
    Launch the Keychain Access application. In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
    File ▹ Add Keychain
    from the menu bar and add the following items:
    /Library/Keychains/System.keychain
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
    When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
    Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings. Never again change any of those settings.   
    From the menu bar, select
    Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
    There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
    Next, select the login keychain. Delete any expired or otherwise invalid certificates.
    Log out, log back in, and test.
    Step 10
    Launch the Activity Monitor application. Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
    If not, back up all data, then triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    /var/db/crls
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Move all the files in the folder that opens to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.
    Step 11
    If you've moved to a different country, select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then click
    Change Country or Region
    and update your billing information.

  • IPad 2 Taskbar: Can't close apps when in Landscape

    On my iPad 2, I can no longer close apps using the taskbar when in landscape orientation. I can double-click the Home button, press and hold one of the app icons, and they begin jittering like normal. However, pressing the red minus key does nothing. The OS seems to completely ignore the press. I can slide the icons back and forth like normal (when there's more than one screen of icons), and the taskbar closes and opens just like normal. But the red minus key doesn't work. Then, if I flip the iPad to portrait orientation, everything works as it should.
    Any idea what's going on? I erased and restored from a backup but still have the issue.
    Thanks...

  • IPad 2 with iOS 6 spontaneously closes apps in the middle of using them. Some wont even open they start working and then close immediately. How can I fix this?

    After uploading new iOS 6 my iPad 2 randomly quits apps in the middle of using them and sometimes won't even open apps. What can I do to fix this?

    1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
    5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app,  any help?

    Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app,  any help?

    What does the error say?
    A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

  • Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

    Hi,
    I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
    I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
    I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
    The commands are
    1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
    2) delete files from x location
    3) run .exe app from y location
    4) close that running app 
    5) move files from z to y
    Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
    My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
    I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
    And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
    And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
    Thanks alot ahead!
    Jordan.

    hmm 2 questions:
    1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
    how do I get permission or something to fix that?
    2) on the "move" command..
    First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out.. 
    but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
    and all I see is ability to move a file..
    Is this possible?
    Thanks

  • How do I move apps from an old mac to a new one

    I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?

    Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.

  • Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

    Can I transfer music from my ipod to my itunes app on a new mac laptop?

    Yeah! Click on your iPod when it shows up under "Devices" on the left side of iTunes while plugged in. Click on the music tab at the top and select "Manually Manage songs and playlists". Then click the arrow next to you iPod on under "Devices" and it will drop down "Music" "Videos" etc under it. Go to "Music" and select all your songs and drag them to the iTunes "Music" tab. They should copy over. Then you can go back and enable autosync.

  • I'm not able to download the App Store with a software update. How can I get the App Store on my Mac?

    I have some problems to get the App Store on my mac. Every time when I do a Software Update, there is no App Store to download.
    How can I get the App Store on my Mac?
    It's because I want to set OSX Lion on my MacbookPro.
    Thanks!

    As you have 10.5.8 you need to upgrade to at least 10.6.6 to get the App Store as this was the 1st version it came with.
    A workaround is to get a friend who has 10.6.6 or better to download Lion for you without installing it. You can create an App Store account on the friend's computer I think to do this. Copy the Lion installer from that computer to a USB stick or burn it to DVD and you should be able to install it on your own computer, I think. You might have to create an empty partition on your own computer first for Lion installation as I'm not sure that it will install over Leopard.
