How do I delete a process that's running in the background?
A process called "tunmgr" is using up 99% of my cpu causing my macbook air to overheat (and the fan(?) to be really loud). I've searched about the process/file and a few websites basically just says that it is a Blackberry app(?) and that it hasn't been confirmed (yet) to be harmful.
I've already deleted the blackberry desktop manager on my computer as I've recently switched to iPhone. Is it safe for me to delete "tunmgr" and how do I do that?
Every time I notice my computer overheating, I had to keep going to Activity Monitor to force quit the process/file.
I had the same problem and researched it. The tunmgr is essentially a bug that spawns a looped process due to checking the "Open Blackberry Link when a device is connected" in Blackberry Link. To stop the process, open Blackberry Link -->> Preferences (not in the main menu, the gear in the top right corner) -->> uncheck "Open Blackberry Link when a device is connected". Then restart and it should be back to normal.
ps - thanks for fixing this Blackberry!

How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?
Open Activity Monitor and look for the program. Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.

Select each one and Force Quit it.
But be careful there are many processes that are run by the OS that if quit will cause problems possibly even crash the system.

How do I close apps that are running in the background. You used to double press the button, and then press and hold to allow the "x" to come up, so you could close them down.
Close all apps in multi-task window
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen -
Before I downloaded the iOS 7 upgrade I could turn off the apps that were running in the background by double clicking the bottom button to bring up the apps. I would hold down on 1 app, X's would appear on each and then I could close them. How Now?

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 -

Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. What are you using?
Looking for a drum loop app that will run in the background. Suggestions? What are you using? I tried Loopseque and I like it, but I can't make it run once I switch apps. Help please.
That's definitely strange, kzmidge. I want a working phone in your hands though. I noticed you mentioned you received the suggestion to complete a reset. Did you already do that? Is it working again? Are you receiving an error message?
If you hesitated a little longer to complete the reset, you can try to place your phone into Safe Mode http://vz.to/rxg0ii and see if you can access mobile sites from your browser. This mode will stop 3rd party applications from running, so you won't be able to use the apps you mentioned but we may be able to narrow down the trouble in Safe Mode. If the mobile sites work, that means the trouble may be in a recently downloaded application and you may be able to avoid the reset my uninstalling some of your more recently installed applications. If it's still giving you trouble, the reset http://vz.to/18wzOCi is the next best step.

my macpro runs slow with or without internet on..... How can I find out if something is running in the background?
Please boot in safe mode and test. Still slow? If you connect to a wireless network, you may have to connect with Ethernet in safe mode.
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode.)

How to detect any key pressed for program running in the background?
Hi All,
is it possible to detect when any key is pressed if a java program is not in the focus? For example, when I have a console based program I can write something like:
System.in.read();
and wait until any key is pressed. However, if I move the mouse away from the console and make any other window active, the console program "doesn't hear" anything. Ok, it's clear, of course, but how is it possible to make the program detect any keys pressed even if it's running in the background?
Thanks a lot for any hints!qnx wrote:

There are very few legitimate problem domains that would require what you are asking about. There are illegitimate ones though. And the legitimate ones would generally require someone with quite a bit of programming experience and would also be required (the fact that java can't do it would not get rid of the requirement.)

How can I permanently stop Backup Asisstant from running in the background?
Backup Asisstant plus is constantly running in the background of my phone. It is annoying and I can not even open it up under the "manage accounts" section of my phone. When I do this it just has the blue circle spinning forever and ever never openning up at all. Is there a way to fix this or am I just stuck battling this stupid app day after day. It came with the Verizon phone, but I had this before and customer service was able to stop it from running all the time. Now I get told there is nothing Verizon can do. So how can I stop this app permanently and why is there so much comflicting information coming from Verizon agents and its website? I cant seem to get a solid answer.
I have a galaxy s3. The backup assistant just freezes my phone. It is always running in the background draining memory from my phone slowing it down. It is beyond annoying since even after a hard reset I can not even access the Backup Assistant + to manually change settings, so I would just like it to stay off. It has not helped me recover much in the way it was advertised.
