Force quiting apps on iphone bad for logic board???

While visit the apple store this weekend in regards to our phone not working they asked if we double tap the home and slide up on our apps to close them, of force quit the application. We responded yes and were told never to do this. However on previous visits we were told to do this because multiple apps will drain the battery and slow the phone down. I would love to know what the correct answer to this is and understand why we would be told two different things.

Closing apps does not harm anything.
Whoever told you that is mentally challenged.

HT5137 I went to the genius bar the other day and was told that force quitting apps was the single worst thing I can do to my phone or iPad, short of dropping and damaging it, or jailbreaking it. Is this true or false?

I went to the genius bar the other day and was told that force quitting apps was the single worst thing I can do to my phone or iPad, short of dropping and damaging it, or jailbreaking it.That it is bad for the software, firmware and battery. The employee was very excited about the topic and cringed when I force quit in front of him. He gave me the url to read about multi-tasking so that i could read more. But neither that page nor the force quitting apps page says anything about this activity being bad. Is it so bad? If so, why don't we know that? So many people I know force quit in an effort to have fewer pages appear.

Thank you for the feedback. I can breathe a sigh of relief that I can once again clear these pages from my sight. This employee said he tells about a half dozen people a day when they come in with various problems, as he is attributing their problems to force quitting. It's like he was out to save the world, one iphone user at a time. I'm talking *serious* passion from this man!

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

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.

I just want to know why I cant directly download music to music app in iphone specially for people outside US whose cant use itune store ??!

I just want to know why I cant directly download music to music app in iphone specially for people outside US whose cant use itunes store ??!
I can do it in my mac why not iphone . This is a really huge mistake compare to android phones

Hi Ferretbite
Thank you for answering me but i dont think you relize what Iam asking for
first itunes store need an American apple ID with an American credit to purchase DIRECTLY from iphone and this all people outside US dont have , so no one outside US and (major countries) can download music directly from thier Iphone
Second , if we assume I can download from itunes , itunes store dont have all the music you need for example Iam in middle east I listen to arabic music and itunes dont have most of the arabic music I listen to and this is a HUGE problem for all costumers in middle east and similiar countries .
Third, mac users can download music from the internet other than itunes store even if it illegal why that ?? and NOT all free websites are illegal like (nogomistars) for arabic music .
I just want to say that I love my iphone and I love apple. But you should give iphone users a free using for their phones like you do with mac users for the reason that i gave it you above .
Sorry for the long reply tc

Try to reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again.
If this does not help, restore "as new device" How to back up your data and set up as a new device

When force quitting Apps' Icon remains in Dock

I'm having a problem when I have to force quit applications. When I Force Quit an application the app quits but the apps' icon with the indicater still on remains in the dock. When this happens I'm unable to launch the same app again. This is really getting to be a pain so any help would be appreciated.

I would be more concerned with the fact that you are required to Force Quit applications, as that suggests something more serious than a stuck icon in the Dock which is but a symptom.
You could start up in safe mode,

which perform an fsck on the disk, which may rectify a problem with your disk, as well as excluding third party applications until the next normal restart. This could give you some indication of whether the problem is caused by some third party app or not.

Force Quit Apps Stick in Dock

This has happened a few times with a few different apps (Webkit/safari, itunes, and others i can't think of right now)
What happens is the app will beachball, ill force quit afterwhich it will still appear in the doc, but cannot be opened, and jsut reappears in the forequit window everytime i try to force quit.
this then causes me to do a hard shutdown to resolve the issue.
I am running safari 3 with latest version of webkit, but i didnt think this was an issue. And also, its not just safari.
any ideas?

have you tried killing the process in activity monitor? there might be some other things running that prevent the app from completely shutting down. just a thought

Does iphone charge for free apps, does iphone charge for free apps

Does iphone charge for free apps which are in the appstore.

Free means just that, free...there is no charge.

IPhone 5S 32GB Logic Board Repair

So several months ago I attempted to repair the cracked screen on my black 32 gb iphone 5S on my own. It did not work out. I ended up breaking the logic board and now the phone is basically unusable. I've been using my iPhone 4S for the past few months and it ***** so bad. I just want my 5S back but now apple won't touch it and no one offers repairs for the logic boards on the 5S that I can find. Anyone know of a solution or someone who offers the service. Because I can't stand the crap battery on the 4S and I miss my 5S I had only had it for like, 2 months.

I know of 2 services that repair logic board damage depending on your issue and your location in the U.S. One is eDigitalNY which is on the east coast and offers their repair services on eBay in addition to their website. They guarantee their repair work. Just ship them the logic board (shipping to and from is included in the repair cost) and they will fix it. If for some reason your board is "toast" and can't be fixed, they will refund your money. The second option on the west coast is The Repair Stop. Like eDNY, all repair work is guaranteed. TRS is a bit pricier but they are the go to guys for water damage repair, an area of repair from which many others shy away.

How to send in for logic board / HD repair?

Not long before my trial AppleCare expired, my MacBook Pro started doing very strange things, freezing, crashing, making grinding noises, etc. After reporting the results of Disk Utility and a hardware scan to AppleCare, they gave me a case number and said that I most likely needed both a logic board replacement and a hard drive replacement, and that if I had further trouble, to take it in for repair.
Well, the local Apple Store's Genius Bar has been entirely booked up for two days now, and as my AppleCare trial has expired (though I'm under warrantee), I can't call Apple about it.
Can I simply walk in and drop it off? Do I mail it to Apple myself? I've never had to send a machine in to Apple, but it's seemingly not as straightforward as I thought.... how long might I expect my turnaround time to be?

... as my AppleCare trial has expired (though I'm under warrantee), I can't call Apple about it.
There's really nothing "trial" about it, although I can see how it could be perceived that way. What expired was your 90 days of free phone support for any issue with your MBP, but since, as you know, you still have a one year hardware warranty, you still have free phone support for warranted hardware issues.
See Is phone support and warranty service free? for details.
As Kappy indicates, it's a very straightforward process. If Apple determines that you do have a hardware defect, they'll arrange for a shipper to drop off a shipping box and take it away when you've packed your MBP, and then they'll ship it back to your door when the repair is complete.

Wating for Logic Board

Hello. I'm in the Dominican Republic
My iBook display went dead in march 2005. A pass thru the discussions site pointed me to the logic board problem. We only have one AASP in Santo Domingo and it took three months to get the spare, but when they put it in, that one came damaged directly from Apple, so the AASP sent for a new one right away. That was a year from now. They have given me every excuse in the book and keep making me promises. I miss my baby. HELP, what can I do?
iBook G3 900, eMac G4 1.0 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Unfortunately, 1-800 numbers don't work from outside the United States. You might be better off calling Apple Public Relations at (408) 974-2042 and then asking to talk to an "operator". The operator should be able to connect you with Apple Customer Relations from there. I've never seen anyone here post an actual phone number for Apple Latin America, or I'd offer that number. It's also not listed on Apple's regular contact list.

Sent 1.83 for logic board replacement?

I haven't seen anyone saying they sent in their 1.83 for a logic board replacement. I was wondering if they are putting the 2.0ghz version in the 1.83s when they are sent it or are they sending them back with 1.83s.
Thanks in advance.

Nope... I just sent in my 1.83 for repair, and the MLB is an identical 1.83. In my experience, Apple keeps well enough stock of models going back beyond the AppleCare 3-year mark, so you'll get exactly the model you had before. (I've spoken with people who have iPods going back 3-4 generations who send in for repair or exchange, and still receive the same model.)

My macbook pro iphoto app won't open I get "can't open because its being updated" but it is not and I did not ask for an update. My version is 9.3.2 I tried force quit app store and reboot and everything I could think of.

iphoto tells me it can't open because it's upgrading but it is not and I did not click upgrade

Do you have System Preferences,Software Update set to automatically down load updates?

How do I force quit apps on my iPhone 5 after iOS7 upgrade?

Double-clicking home button doesn't work anymore.
Thanks!

Trying to update apps on iPhone, ask for different iTunes account password

I've been using the same appleid since day one. I have a icloud email as back up, but never changed account info except address. When attempting to update apps on my iPhone, I click on UPDATE button. depending on the app, I will be ask to signin to iTunes Store using my wife's appleid.
Why? This is my iPhone. We are on the same AT&T account. We are at the same address.
But there is no reason for her info to be on my phone.

1. Therefore, I would expect to select from one of 287 million other users who downloaded "at the time they were downloaded from the iTunes Store, whether the downloading was done on the same device or not."
2. Release of iTunes user ID is not a security issue? Release of any info is considered a security issue by most individuals and corporations.
3. My iphone, my iTunes Id is used when making purchase. I'm not confused.
4. Its called Phishing
5. Been there, done that. Next idea, short of complete "Reset"?
