How do I close all running applications before launching my java app?

Does anyone know of anyway I can code to close all running applications, even if I don't know the process names to begin with?
Is there open source code than anyone has written to do this. Other applications interfere with my app and I need to terminate all running apps/processes before launching my app. Please advise.

I see we aren't all on the same wavelength here, let
me rephrase:
How can I write JAVA code that will terminate all
running applications so as not to interfere with the
security of my application's content, as it is
extremely sensitive content and I need to know that
no applications are running which could defeat it.
I would like my application to terminate all running
applications, is this possible to write in java code.Do you consider all the processes running in the background (launched by the OS) as part of "all running applications"? Do you not consider the OS itself as part of it as well? You're really barking up the wrong tree. But go ahead, I know you won't be convinced regarding the wonkiness of your thinking.

How I can closed all open application after update to iOS 7.0.2.0?? Before this v iOS7 we was can closed any application's open :(

There's no good way to do it. But you don't need to. iOS 7 automatically handles whether an application takes up memory or has files open. There's no real advantage to you ever closing an application yourself.
If you are having problems with a particular app, please describe them.

How can I close the finder application

I need to know how to close the finder application because there have been many downloads that I cannot do unless all applications are closed. if you cannot then owners of mac please make it possible because (no offense) if not downloads are useless on the mac.

Hi Jason, Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Pages '08 forum.
This forum is for discussion of issues and techniques arising in the use of Apple's word processing/page layout application Pages '08.
You might try asking your question in the Using Mac OS X Leopard forum, where you may get a more complete answer than the one below.
The Finder is different from other applications in that it is always running when you are running OS X. You can't quit it or even Force Quit it. It is exempt from the "Quit all running applications" instruction you'll see with some installation procedures.

Barry

HT1657 How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

How can I download all purchased content before changing my info account?

You can always setup your GMail account on your Mac as a POP3 account, and then flag GMail to mark all messages new. The next mail check would cause your mail app to download all the messages on teh GMail server to your mail client. Once they are in your mail client, you manage them locally in there, and it won't matter if the GMail host account goes away or not, because POP3 works with the local data once it is downloaded form the server.
Be advised that doing this can cause you to redownload thousands (or hundreds of thousands) of emails depending upon your email volume and how long you have been using GMail. If I do this, my GMail wants to re-send close to 6GB of data to me again because I have been using GMail for about as long as it has existed, and I average 100-200 emails a day on that account.

How do I close all the apps that are still open?

How do I close all the apps that are still open?

You don't need to.
The "task bar" that Demo mentions above is not, in fact, a task bar at all - it is the Recently Used Apps list. Not all of the apps in this list are open, running or in memory.
iOS automatically handles closing apps that are not in use, so you don't have to manually manage them.

HT2729 Is it best to close all other programs before syncing Ipod?

Hi everyone,
I'm just looking for some advice I've had an ipod classic 160gb for 3 years and always had problems syncing it up with it freezing itunes. I'm sure it has a faulty hardrive, so I've just brought a new one and was wondering if it's best to close all other programs before syncing it up? I'm using itunes 10.5 and windows 7.
Thanks in advance for any help

I'm pretty sure that running other programmes while syncing the iPod has no ill effects. You could always close others down for extra peace of mind if you wanted to.
I've never stopped using my computer while syncing anything in the past and as far as I'm aware I've never had any issues. I've watched videos and even played games while syncing.
I'm sure someone with more experince will be along shortly and may be able to reasure you more than me.

If there was no backup, where would you recover the photos from. Sorry but those pictures are gone.

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

There are many online tutorials on how to change out the HD on a mid 2007 iMac. One of the originals is from 2007 and is Upgrade your iMac 20" or iMac 24" aluminum (mid 2007) to 1TB Hard Drive and 4 GB RAM - DIY Guide. As far as migrating your system Apple helps out with that in Setup Assistant which automatically starts when you turn on a new Mac for the first time. After you have installed the new HD you will have to format the new HD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then you will have to install OS X. The first time you turn it on Setup Assistant will start. Follow the directions and you will be fine. In order to restore your information you will need to backup what is on the current internal HD first. I'd recommend using Time Machine (Assuming you are using Leopard or later) AND also creating a bootable clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Please complete your profile so at the very least we know what version of OS X your machine has installed.

You must have an iPhone 3GS then if its running 4.3.2
The iPhone 3G can only update to 4.2.1 iOS.
Reset the iPhone
Hold the top silver button and the home button (just below the display of the iPhone)
Do this at the same time for about 10 seconds until you see an Apple.
The iPhone then should take 1-3 minutes to restart and it should be fine

Forced to Close all open applications when switching between users.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13 inch, and have 2 accounts set up on the computer.
When switching between users on the computer, I am always forced to close all open applications on the current user, in order to switch to another user.
I was wondering if there was ANY way to keep the pages (specifically Safari) open when switching to another user, so that I can go back to them when I log back in to the other account.
thanks for the help!

Enjoy!
