Closing the open apps

I recently downloaded the 7.1 software on my 4S Iphone. How do I close open apps? On the previous software, I would touch the top left corner of the app until a red and white minus sign appeared and then touch it again to delete it. I need to close the apps to preserve power.

Double click the home button and when the app switcher comes up swipe up on the app preview
Hope this helps

  • My iPad mini won't update my apps.  I have closed all open apps, done multiple resets but I show 24 updates and when I hit the update, the screen is blank.

    My iPad mini won't update my apps.  I have closed all open apps and done multiple resets.  I hit update and the screen is blank, even though the bubble shows 14 to update.

    If you are getting the blank app update screen, many people are having this problem over the last couple of days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this will work.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store. Apple needs to fix this. It is a workaround only until then.

  • How do I close a numbers document without closing the entire app?

    Can anyone tell me how I can close a numbers document without closing the entire app? i.e. go back to the folders display page - is this even possible?

    It is not a bug, but a new feature.<br />
    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
    *[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626825 bug 626825] - Hide redundant menu commands unless the user invokes the menu using the keyboard (make use of the openedWithKey attribute)

    I selected "update all" to update my apps, entered my ID and they all went to "waiting" and none of them started updating. Tried shutting down (several times), it was plugged in, I closed all open apps...tried uninstalling and reinstalling 1 app and it still is waiting? Thoughts?

    See if any of these suggestions help you. They have worked for others in the past but YMMV.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

    Hi Apple community,
    This is my first go at this so be kind,
    My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
    My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
    My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
    My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
    Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

  • By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.

    rajlego,
    in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button.

  • Why when I tap on a downloaded game on my Ipad does it start the game and then go back to the opening apps page

    I tap on the app for a game I have downloaded onto my Ipad and the game starts loading then goes back to the opening app page on the Ipad. Any suggestions? I tried Ssyncing with iTunes to see if there was a download listed there but there isn't anything to be downloaded.

  • I downloaded the iOS7 and I can't force quit the open apps. I was told, "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it." Comments please & thank you

    I downloaded the iOS7 and I can't force quit the open apps. I was told, "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it." Unfortunately, that didn't work. Any comments please & thank you

    Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Prior to loading 1OS7 it was easy to force quit applications that were still open by double clicking and seeing an a red "x" you had to click on.
    It doesn't work that way with the new operating system and the instructions that were given "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it."
    Do not work.
    I am looking for anyone who can help figure this out.

  • How to show up all the open Apps in this new iOS 7?

    Mine iPad2.
    When i was on the previous iOS 6.. I could press on the home button and it will display all the opened up Apps. I could then close what ever Apps I wish to close.
    Since updating to the latest iOS 7 I do not get opened up Apps displayed on pressing the devices home button. How could I get my iPad 2 to show up all the opened Apps? Double tap on the home button does not work in this new iOS 7.
    Any clues
    Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards

    Thanks so much this works. **** apple. Every time they update one has to learn how to do simple tasks all over. I appreciate you giving me/us the answer. By the way, I hate the new operating system. It ***** on all level. Icons look like they belong in a preschool.

  • My iPad won't show the open apps when I double click

    Double clicking to show the open apps does not work.  I re-powered but it did not help.  Any suggestions?

    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.
     Cheers, Tom

  • I have a 27" iMac with a 27" Cinema display.  If I have Photoshop running on the cinema display, the menu bar is on the iMac.  Is there any add on that I can install to make the menu bar follow the open app?

    I have a 27" iMac with a 27" Cinema display.  If I have Photoshop on the cinema display, the menu bar is way over on the iMac.  Is there any add-on that I can install to make the menu bar follow the open app?

    Look at SecondBar gives you a second menubar
    <http://blog.boastr.net/?p=3>
    Also see DejaMenu
    Also see MenuEverywhere (Shareware)
    And if you happen to have a Magic Trackpad, the SecondBar author has a very nice BetterTouchTool utility for creating Magic Trackpad gestures.  I can not live with out BetterTouchTool on my 27" iMac with 24" external monitor.
