Expose: The extremely annoying app that can't turn off.

How do you turn off Expose? Lately I wanted to see what my MacBook Pro was able to do. I came across something called Expose. I clicked it several times but I was not able to understand what it did. It just went black around the sides. 2 days later I found out.It was an extremely annoying app that that centred all your apps now I can't turn it off. Is anyone able to help me?

expose is a system feature and has never been able to be "turned off".
My solution, is don't use exposé.

I recently restored my iPhone 4s from back-up after being reset. An app that I had turned off in back-up did not show up in my recent resoration. I forgot to turn that app back on. Would there be any way I would be able to get the data from that app?

Hello anita4323.
I hope this will help you with your problem:
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
You can restore your backup whenever you want from iTunes or iCloud, depending where you made it.
Let us know if you succeeded or need any further help.
I believe you are missing the point. The OP has already restored from back up, but failed to include a specific app in the back up and is trying to recover data for it, which in this case is not possible.

HT1430 I downloaded the lateest update and I can't turn off my apps like I did on 6os. The 7os is different and I can't seem to find out if apps turn off now by just closing them. Can anyone explain this to me? Please

Double tap the Home button and swipe the app preview page up
iOS 7 also allows apps to run while they aren't open.
You can manage these here:
Settings > General > Background App Refresh

Is there a limit to the number of apps that can be Hidden from view in Family Sharing?

I've just set up a Family Share and have issued invitations to a couple of family members.
I'm trying to take full advantage of the "Hide" feature that's available in the Purchased list in the App Store app, mostly to hide really old apps that I haven't used since the beginning of time. These apps have been long gone from any of my iOS devices, and it has always bugged me that they still appeared in my Purchased list. It's pretty cool that Family Sharing allows people to hide some of their app purchases from others in the group, as this also allows folks to hide apps that they also don't want to see in our own lists.
The first couple of dozen apps that I decided to hide stayed hidden. However: now, no matter what I try, I can't hide any more apps. I swipe on an app to reveal the Hide button; tap the button; the app disappears from the list; I go to another screen in the app; I return to my Purchased list: and the most recent Hidden apps are still listed.
This is driving me nuts. I'm wondering if Apple has imposed a limit on the number of apps that anyone can hide; or if there's something I can do to force a hidden app to stay hidden.
Advice will be gratefully accepted.

Not a bad suggestion, but it does not explain why an app refuses to REMAIN hidden on my iPhone -- as I explained in my first post:
> I swipe on an app to reveal the Hide button; tap the button; the app disappears from the list;
> I go to another screen in the app; I return to my Purchased list: and the most recent Hidden
> apps are still listed.
Given the clunkiness and general unreliability of iCloud - which rarely "just works" - it doesn't surprise me that hiding an app on one device doesn't mean the same app will be hidden immediately on other devices logged into the same account. I've learned to be patient and wait hours for changes to anything synced via iCloud to be reflected on other devices in the sync loop. But again, this in now way explains why apps were not staying hidden on the device that was used to hide them.
I've finally managed to hide all the apps I wanted hidden, after many hours of waiting and multiple attempts at hiding. I am in no way confident that these apps are going to REMAIN hidden permanently, or until I choose to unhide some of them; only time will tell if iCloud decides to behave and accept my series of "Hide this app" commands to be honoured permanently!

What Apps & Services Can I Turn OFF Safely?

I looked in on what was currently running on my BIONIC. There had to have been 20 or more apps or services running. Whenever I attempted to turn off any service or close an app, I'd get a message saying that if I close, or stop this app or service, my phone is going to start acting erratically (or something similar).
What's up with that? I know that every one of the "currently running" in the list were not essential to just use my phone and connect to a WI-FI?
So, does anyone know what essential services and apps should stay running, just to get basic services (as mentioned above). I believe these things were killing my battery and eating my RAM.

I tried to answer, but apparently it violated the TOS on here, so let me go about this another way...
Here is a list of things that would be safe to turn off, if you are able to turn any of them off. Not saying you can, just saying these things shouldn't affect your phone's essential functions...

Ever since I updated to the iOS 6, my itouch can't turn off. I pressed the two buttons and do not see the power off but instead it restarts every time. Help!

Before the ios upgrade, I could turn off my itouch just fine. Now it only restarts. Am I doing something wrong or is it the software? :/

If iphone is disabled, how can I turn off "find my iphone" in order to reset the phone

If the iphone is disabled, how can I turn off "find my iphone" in order to reset it?

Go to any other device with internet access and log on to icloud.com using the Apple ID that is active on your device. Select "Find My iPhone > Devices" and select the option to erase the device.

Can I turn off the setting to "erase iPad" if I find my lost iPad?

I lost my iPad a few weeks ago, and since the battery was dead, I couldn't find it using "Find my iPhone." I was concerned that it could have been left somewhere in public, so I set it to erase the iPad upon connection to the internet. Now I found the iPad last night. Can I turn off the "erase iPad" setting in Find my iPhone? It doesn't seem to allow this (I assume for some security reason, but I need to use my apple id to get into

Normally I would say no, but one user reported success with the procedure outlined in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4076422?start=0&tstart=0. Can't confirm if this actually worked but it may be worth a try.

How can I turn off Start up Sound?

How can I turn off the start up sound, on both my 10.7.5 iMac 24" Late 2006 and my 10.8.3 iMac 27" Late 2009 Mountain Lion.
Plus my Superdrive has stopped working on both Computers. Please help asap.
With kind regards, and many thanks.

The best way to turn off the startup sound is to mute speakers before turning off your computer.
Also, apps that help you turn off the startup sound don't work with iMacs. There's a command that will allow you to turn it off without muting your speakers. See > http://osxdaily.com/2012/11/04/disable-mac-boot-chime/

Can't turn off airport

After installing snow leopard on my MacBook 13" I can't turn off airport from the top menu or from network utility.
Just now was successful in turning off Airport. I had to go to network preferences, click on automatic (not my regular network name), the apply button was no longer grayed out. Hit apply and was able to turn off the connection from preferences. Can now turn off and on from top menu

ok I just installed SNM LPD on 3 intel macs-older Imac 2.0ghz, newer 13"macbook 2.4ghz, and newer 24"Imac 2.4ghz. All of them worked ok except the Imac. I couldn't connect to a wireless network at all nor could I turn off the airport card. The system profiler saw the card and it seemed to be working fine. So I knew it was a software problem. I tried everything. I was just about to wipe the disk and reinstall everything (which would have taken 3 to 4 days) when I tried to add another network location profile. I've used the automatic profile forever, but then I thought I'd try a whole new location. I went to edit locations. Hit the plus button and named it. It populated the hardware and my airpot card (which was on but wouldn't connect) turned off. When I turn it back on (in the NEW location menu) it found all the nearest networks instantly. I found my home network and put in my password and it didn't give me the small "connection error" sign. I don't know what this glitch is but its annoying...hope its helps!

Can I turn off snapping to vertical and horizontal?

i need to make a line that's not quite horizontal, but when it try to use the ruler to make it, it always snaps to horizontal. This should be a feature that can be disabled, is it possible?

Unfortunately, the snapping behavior is not something that can be turned off in the current release. We have heard this feature request once or twice before, but I can't say when having an option to turn off snapping will make it into a future release.

Is there a way to get a version of the Garage Band app that runs on version 5.1.1? I have an iPad 1 and can't get any higher iOS. The App store is telling me that Garage Band only runs on iOS 7.

I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch. When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices. How can I keep them separate?

go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

I am looking for an app that can unmute my iphone after a preset time, eg 1 or 2 hours. Does anybody know an app with this feature?? The apps I have found are linked to a calendar or a place, I just need the timer function..

thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)?

Does anyone know of an iPad app that can lock the iPad after a period of months (i.e., 6 months)? I am looking to give ipads to contestant participants and need a way to automatically lock the device once the set duration (measured in days, weeks, months or years) is complete. Does anyone know of an iPad app that locks the device after a period longer than 24 hours (ike most parental control apps)??
Thanks for any help!!

It's called "SelfControl". It can be a little hard to learn to use but it's worth the effort.
