How do I close programs

How do I close programs?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
In OS X, there are different methods to close an application, but the easiest one is to press Command and Q keys, so the application you are using will be quit inmediately.
OS X doesn't close most of the apps just pressing the red button at the top left corner of a window, because that only closes the window, not the app. If you want to quit the application,, hold Command and Q keys. There are other methods, as closing the application from Dock or Activity Monitor

It's an often misunderstood topic. The programs that are "running" (and where they are actually using data and battery) can be found in "Notifications" and "Background App Refresh."

HT4623 How do I close programs running in the background to speed up my phone?

Downloads are very slow. How do I speed up?

You can close apps via the taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar at the bottom of the iPhone's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on that taskbar for a second or two until they start to shake, tap the '-' to close them, and then click the home button to close the taskbar. But a lot of the apps that appear there won't be active, they will just be 'recently used'.
In terms of speeding up downloads, what connection do you have ? If you are downloading via cellular and you are somewhere where you can only get a 2G connection then downloads will be slower than if you were in an area with better reception or if you were connected to a decent wifi network.

How do I close programs/applications running in the background

My computer Mac Pro is getting slow. The wheel runs and runs. I took it in to Apple at one time and they coded a bunch of files that were running in the background, thus slowing the computer. How do I do this myself?

Hey diane41,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you wish to learn about Activity Monitor and quitting processes that are using a significant amount of memory. The following resource may assist you:

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!

I'm a new Mac user and I'm working on a Power Point presentation. The program is frozen, though otherwise the computer is responding to all other prompts. How do I close Powerpoint and hopefully save my changes. On my old PC I would press and hold Control+Alt+Delete. Thanks!

OPTION+COMMAND+ESCAPE will bring up a force quit screen.

I need to close Foxfire to install Flash. How do I close the program?

Once I installed Firefox I lost Pandora and the ability to view videos! Each site tells me to close the Firefox program before I can install Flash. How do I close the program?

There are 2 versions of Adobe Flash:
*an '''ActiveX version''' for IE only
*a '''Plugin version''' for most other browsers including Firefox
*On a Windows system, you should always update both individually.
'''''You do not appear to have the Plugin version for Firefox installed. ''''' If you did, in Add-ons > Plugins you would see "Shockwave Flash ''(version)''". If "Shockwave Flash" is there and is disabled, click the "Enable" button.
Check your Plugins often --> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
*only the most popular/used Plugins are known by this page
*page will detect only installed, '''''enabled''''' Plugins
'''Install or update Adobe Flash''' 
#'''Using Firefox''', go to the following link and SAVE the download to your desktop so you can find it later. Un-check any items on that page that you do not want to download (i.e., "McAfee Security Scan Plus":
#*http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
#When the download is finished, close Firefox (File > Exit '''''OR''''' Firefox button > Exit)
#Click or double-click on the file you just saved to your desktop
#*In the installation window that appears, click the box to the left of "I have read and...." to place a check mark in the box
#*The "Install" button in the lower right corner will now be highlighted, click it.
#*The installation is quick.
#Start Firefox and test your installation here: https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
#To update/install the ActiveX version for IE '''''only''''', repeat the process, '''but use IE to go to the above website'''.
