How do I close down the apps I have open on my iphone4

Why do you want to close them down? They aren't using any power, and leaving them on standby (as they are when not actively being used) makes switching apps much faster. Instead of pressing HOME then navigating to the next app you want, possibly opening folders or changing pages of the Home screen, when you want to switch double-press the HOME button, scroll to the next app and tap it once. If you are switching frequently between a small number of apps (like Mail, Facebook and Twitter) this is much faster, because the Quick Launch ribbon (that's its official name) puts the most recently used apps together.

I was trying to update an app but now I can't close it down. I have tried most things - it keeps saying I must close down the app but it doesn't allow me to do this. I have powered off the computer but it just comes back. Any suggestions?

I had been trying to update an app on my IMac and when it came to do it, it said I must close down the app site, in this case WeatherEye. However, I could not close it down and update says it is waiting. I have tried everything I know to get rid of this but it remains even when powering off the machine. Any suggestions?

open /applications/utilities/terminal.app and type: killall "Applicationname without .app"
open /applications/activity monitor.app press on the app thats buggin ya and press quit/force quit

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.

Is there a way on the new 5S to close down the apps to save battery

Is there a way to close down apps not in use on the new iphone 5S? On my 4 I used to be able to swipe showing all the apps that have been used and then close them to save battery life. I tried that on the new 5S but it doesn't work it just opens that app like a tab.

double click the home button, then swipe up on the screenshot of the app you wish to close

I just bought an ipad. How do I get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone to my ipad?

I just purchased an iPad 2. I currently have an iPhone 4 (not 4s). I was told that I could get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone onto my ipad. I tried backing up my phone and restoring my ipad from my phone. Didn't work. It setup successfully but nothing transfered over. iCloud only gave me my contacts and calendar. HELP!

After I downloaded and installed the latest iTunes upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free app upgrades for the apps I have on my iPad/iPhone/iMac which i had previously purchased. Itunes tells me I "don't own the major versions".

After I downloaded and install the latest iTunes software upgrade (to 10.5.1), I am no longer able to download free upgrades to the apps on my iPhone or iPad.
The App Store just says I "don't own the major versions", which of course is nonsense. It seems as if Apple's iTunes/App Store has deleted my download history. Any suggestions?

Actually It doesn't. It says he's on a MacBook. I don't know all the different types of Macs. I was having a ton of problems with iChat. I opened DMZ to my computer, knocked down all firewalls etc and left everything exposed, still with bad results. A few weeks ago my power supply went out on my D-Link. I bought a linksys. Since I'd left all firewalls off I figured it couldn't be the router. I power cycled everything n the netork, still no luck. Today I bought a universal Power supply and started up my D-Link Router. Everything worked perfectly. My wifes computer - a laptop running Tiger worked fine with the Linksys and did my machine before the Leopard upgrade. Now that I've got the D-Link online everythings working.

I now have ios7 downloaded and I can't close all the apps that are open

With the old system I could push the button on the bottom 2x and it would show me all the open apps so I could close them, now it shows me the open apps but I can't close any of them.

Thanks for the answer. I actually figured it out about an hour after posting, but I appreciate knowing that I had done the right thing.
It would be good to have a FAQ about this though, seeing others presumably have similar issues.

How do I close Apps on the Version 7? Previously I held down the App until a cross appeared and then I could shut it down. In the Version 7, Apps appear to remain once opened. I am wondering what that does to the battery?

Double-tap the home button and then swipe UP on the app preview window...not the icon but the preview window above the icon.
