How do I close down the apps I have open on my iPhone 4

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.

How do I close down apps without deleting them?

how do I close down apps without deleting them?

If you want to completely exit the apps, then press the home button twice to access the multitasking bar. Then press and hold on one of the apps, they should start wiggling, and a red minus sign should appear in the corner of every app. Press the red minus sign and the app should disappear signifying that it has successfully been quit.

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps are responding. Any ideas?

My dad has a brand new iMac. If he quits an app, this window closes, but the app won't finish shutting down, Force quitting does not work. Once another app is opened, it will not close either. Now none of the apps on the dock are responding. I asked him to click on the apple, and drop down to "About this Mac", but that wouldn't open either. Any ideas? If I was at his house, I would call Apple Care in a heartbeat, but am home with my sick daughter,,, Thanks!

For starters, have him open Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, select the volume (the indented listing) and Verify Disk. If it reports any problems, have him try a Safe Boot by holding the Shift key at startup. This boot will take much longer than usual. It's checking and trying to repair the drive directory, if possible. Once in Safe Boot, have him repair Permissions.
For other Disk repair remedies see
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
Also, have him try a PRAM Reset. At the startup chime, hold down CMD-Option-P-R together, listen for two more chimes, total three, then let go to finish booting.
Also, is he running any AV? If so, have him uninstall it. It might be responsible for this behavior. (There are no viruses for OS X.)
