Does TM run in the background?

Hello,
i'm thinking of upgrading to leopard, but one of my concerns is if time machine works in the background? Meaning can I still use my computer while TM is running every hour? Or do I have to wait for TM to finish?

Yes it runs in the background - after the initial full backup you're unlikely to notice it.

It is an ipad2 with iso 5.0.1 (9A405)
I reverse the ID of the IPAD and IPHONE, and it is the same.
The problem is only on the IPAD when there is my VPN connection
Could you help me?

A double click on the Home button will reveal a tray containing all apps that are currently running (suspended?).
Side swiping this will reveal as many as are active, with a swipe to the right when on the first display will reveal further controls for the iPad, mainly relating to the iPod part, but also containing a screen lock option I believe.
Click and hold any one of them till they 'jiggle' and show a - you can then click this to remove it, relaunching the app as required in the normal way.

PreviewProcessingService.exe does not run in the background

I just installed VS2013, and SQL2014 RTM, and after that I installed SSDT BI for VS2013 released version (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42313).
But when I created a SSRS project in VS2013, and then preview the report, there pops up a command windows "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\PreviewProcessingService.exe", and it runs in the foreground,
not like in VS2012 or VS2010, that command does not appear, and it runs as a background process. Besides that, if I close that windows, and preview the report again, it shows the error, "There was no endpoint listening at net.pipe://localhost/PreviewProcessingService5692/ReportProcessing
that could accept the message. ".
Anyone has the same issue? how to work it around?

Hi Katherine,
Thank you for the suggestions. I tried both of them, for option 1, I can't find any the service named "Net.Pipe Listener Adapter" in the computer services manager. Then I tried the option 2, the "setspn" command was successfully executed, but when
I previewed the report again, the "PreviewProcessingService.exe
" window still popped up, and if I close it, preview the report again, there's the error shown in the "Preview" page, below is the output from VS2013,

Hi Andi,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I have waited for a while and the result doesn't change.
The Porblem here is the application is seen started in visual administrator.Only restart brings up the page back.
Can you please suggest anything.
Thanks and regards

I am trying to uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show when I force quit. How do I remove it?

How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

Open Activity Monitor and look for the program. Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

Does Safari use up bandwidth if I leave it running in the background with zero tabs open? Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota?

If I leave Safari running in the background with zero tabs open, does it still use up bandwidth? Do I have to quit the application each time I am done to avoid exceeding my internet usage/host quota? I'd rather not have to since quitting the application and restarting it when I need to will quickly become tedious, but if that saves me on bandwidth usage, I'll do it. Thanks!

Double-click the home button that will bring up all the applications in the background.
To close then you swipe the application upward and it will close.

Does iOS7 allow you to quit apps running in the background?

I can't seem to close my apps running in the background. Before the upgrade, you could double click the home button and all apps running in the background would pull up; you could then hold one down and the app would allow you to cancel it. Now , the double tap brings up all background app but holding down on these apps doesn't allow them to be cancelled. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Double tap home button, then swipe the app upward to close it.

I don't have CC but others say the standard option is not there. Can you confirm it is?

Can the width of a report that has been run in the background be increased?

Hello Experts,
How can I increase the width of a report that I have run in the background so that it does not wrap text to the next line?
I have been running the same HR report successfully in the background for many months. Today I ran it with the same parameters that I've always used and when I retrieve it from my Own Job Spool - System | Own Spool Request | Display Contents the last field is wrapped to the next line.
Thanks.
Regards,
Jeanette

Jeanette,
Thereu2019s another possibility if Tedu2019s suggestion doesnu2019t work. When you look at your spool requests, thereu2019s an icon on the toolbar next to the eyeglasses that looks like a yellow rectangular callout. Itu2019s called u201CDisplay in Maximum Widthu201D. Select the Spool no. to display and then press this icon. Shift + F4 is the shortcut.

Is there a way to keep apps from running in the background?

I just updated to an Iphone 6, with the latest version of IOS. It's a great product, but for me there is one annoyance. There are times when my memory gets low. I find out that it's the apps that are running in the background. I personally don't use this. All it does is hog memory. Then, to close the apps, you have to close each one individually. I forgot how many apps I have open, I'm of the mindset that when I close the app, that it's "really" closed, not still running in the background. It would be nice if there was a way to disable this function. It doesn't seem to serve a purpose for me in the way I use the Iphone. I just "cleaned up my list of "behind the scenes apps" and I had about 20. It gets frustrating to have to go to each one to close it. Any comments or suggestions?

Some things that might help:
1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
- Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
- Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
- Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
Hope some of that helps

SAFARI: running in the background:

When I access a website there is an automatic refresh of the content. When I open a different webpage with Safari, then the automatic refresh on the first page stopps! How can I have a webpage be refreshed in background?
Does Safari download content when it is minimized / not visible?
When I go back to the first page, then the automatic refresh is not there any more. The function has been de-activated by Safari on Ipad. (On a Firefox on windows there is no such problem). How can I get the same webpage behaviour than before. (I know that reloading the page does the job. But this should be automatic and not from the user)

The ipad like a lot of other mobile devices use a type of multitasking that differs from multitasking you would find on Mac OS X, Windows or Linux. Apple chooses to put most background apps on iOS devices in a suspended mode which allows the application to be paused in the background and then respond quickly when brought to the foreground. Some application functions can continue to run in the background.
Features that are allowed to run in the background are music, location services, airplay, VoIP, push notifications, but it is still up to the developers to make use of this functionality.
I don't believe Safari is one of the applications that will continue to run in the background.
Why does Apple choose to do this? Short answer: Battery life and performance. If app developers were allowed to choose whether or not to have their application to run in the background, bad programmers would quickly kill the performance and battery on the iOS device.
Some devices such as andriod phones and the blackberry playbook allow broader multi-tasking. The trade off? Andriod phones have task killers, which forces the user to manage their performance and battery life. The playbook comes shipped with a default of using suspended multi-tasking on vs. full multi-tasking - since full multi-tasking would again affect performance and battery life.
I agree it would be nice if webpages continued to load if Safari is in the background, and maybe this will be added / enabled in the future. I think Apples design provides a better user experience and still allows most of the functions to run in the background that need to. (I don't need a movie to play in the background or game).
My guess would be Safari doesn't allow background use right not because of issues like auto-refresh pages, which again would affect performance and battery.
