How do I close a program or app?

I have an iPad Air 2. This is my first Apple product.
How can I close a program or app? It seems like once I open a program or app like Chrome it remains open and I can not close it. In Windows I am used to clicking on an "X" at the top right hand corner of the program.
Is the easiest way to switch to another open program or app to press the button at the bottom of the tablet twice and then selecting?

iOS 7-8
Double-press the home button and find the app which you would like to close and swipe it up.
iOS 6
Double-press the home button and tap and hold the app you would like to close. Then press the little "-" in the corner.
Hope this helps!

TS1702 How do you close a third party app without deleting it?

How do you close a third party app without deleting it?

The same way any other app gets closed.
Tap the home button to return to the home screen.
If you want to force quit the app, after returning to the home screen, double tap the home button to pull up the multi-tasking bar. Then press and hold the icon for the app in question until the red x appears. Tap the x and the app will force quit.
All of this is covered in the User's Guide.

How can you close all pages in safari?

On my iPad it is possible to close all windows in Safari.
Is there a similar feature in Safari? Every time I clear the history, the last page remains open.
How can I close that window as well without having to first create a new blank one?
Regards

Yes, ok, but then I still have to open a new page to continue browsing.
on the iPad i can close all pages and safari for iOS defaults to favorites.

How do I close one page at a time?

When I go from my email to a link and then can't get back to email using the back arrow I usually close that page and am back at my email. With Firefox I go to close and a message says that I am about to close 2 tabs and I have to say yes or it doesn't do anything and then it closes my email (which I am trying to get back to). Then to get back to my email I have to go through the multi step process to open it again and get back to the message I was reading before I opened the link. Frustrating! Pleas let me know who to be able to close only one link at a time. There must be a way or it will be too time consuming to use. Thank you

Are there any entries in the tab history of the Back button on the Navigation Toolbar?
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can close the current tab with a middle-click on that tab or via the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+W
Make sure that you do not click the close X on the window title bar.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My iPad randomly shuts downs apps and safari...any suggestions? The pad it's self doesn't shut down..it just closes the page or app I am on..

My iPad randomly shuts down apps and Safari...any fixes for this?

Basic troubleshooting steps might help. If you are using the iPad 1, low memory issues may be causing the app and Safari to crash.
Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
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.
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.
Definitely do this - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. 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.

How do I close framed pages?

I've made as series of pages made up of two frames within my
unframed website. My problem is how to put a link on the last of
the framed pages to return to the homepage. If I make a link to
..\index.htm it returns to the homepage, but the homepage appears
squahed within one of the two frames, not as full screen. How do I
achieve this?
(If you want to see what I mean -go to follies.org.uk and
click on the Alan's page link and then the here link. The last page
does not return as I'd like it to.)

Here is How you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background

How do you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background in the new iOS 4? We’ve had more than one reader ask this question since the launch of the new iPhone operating system, and the iPhone 4, last week. Some have asked about this due to battery drain concerns, and others just because they want to be able to shut down a backgrounded app.
So this seems as good a time as any to share a quick tip on how you can force apps to close in the new iOS 4.
There are two ways to fore an app to close down under iOS 4. The first is by doing a ‘force quit’ on the app, just as we have done under the previous version of the iPhone OS. To do this, you press and hold the power button while you are in the app you want to close down. Wait for the ‘Slide to power off’ bar appears across the top of the iPhone – then don’t hit Cancel, but instead just hold down the Home button continuously until the app closes and you drop back to the home screen.
The much easier method now available in iOS 4 is to use the Multitasking bar to close any app you want. Here’s how:
– Double tap the Home button to bring up the Multitasking bar
– Press and hold anywhere on the multitasking bar until the icons on it start to wiggle.
– While they are wiggling, each icon has a Minus sign symbol above it.
– Press the Minus symbol above any app to close it down.
That’s it. This will work for any app you want to close, including the Apple built-in apps like Mail and Safari etc.
Hope this quick tip is helpful to some of you who are getting to know iOS 4.

The apps on the bottom are recently accessed apps. Instead of closing when you exit the app they go into a suspended state, and will load faster when you next launch them. Unless they are a streaming app (like Pandora) they do not use any power when they appear in the active app list.
This information, as well as the OP's post, are in the latest user guide. I guess nobody reads manuals anymore

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them? I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

How do I close an app so that when I restart it, it doesn't just come back with the last screen, i.e. I want to be able to restart the app from new, not a follow-on

How do I close an app/session, such that when I restart it, it doesn't come backat where I left off, e.g. Safari, I want to restart with a new screen, not the one I previously closed from
Thanks

Depending on how the app is programmed, generally to force close an app, double tap the home button. You'll see the app icons and previews on the screen. Scroll sideways if needed to bring up the app in question. Flick the preview for that app up and off the screen. then single tap the home button or the home page preview to exit the mode
The app should then reboot from closed instead of just reopening

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. 
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)

Double tap the home button, then when in multitasking view take your index finger and swipe up on a card to completely exit the app. Same goes for safari but instead of swiping up swipe to the left or tap the x icon when you are in the multi page view.
