Double-click the home button. It will bring up the multitasking set up. Any apps you want to close just hold on the thumbnail and then swipe up.

  • HT4211 In the new iPad update how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
    You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
    Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps

  • Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do?

    Photoshop shut down while I drew a picture, now the file is broken and I can´t fix it, photshop won´t open the file and I have tried repearing it with different programs. What should I do? I spent 6 hours on the pic and I dont even have a screenshot or anything.

    You don't even say what platform you are on, or any other details that may help others assist you.
    If you are on a Mac, try opening your file in GraphicConverter (they have a demo version) if that doesn't open it, nothing will, in my experience.
    I assume you have tried Adobe Illustrator already to recover.
    You may also have a JPEG of your complete file (flattened) in Bridge Cache.
    On the Mac you'd find it in your User ~Library (NOT the Root Library ):
    Users > yourname > Library > Caches > Adobe > Bridge CS6 > Cache > 1024 > jpg(fileID)number Filename.psd.jpg
    The user ~Library is hidden, but you can make it visible for an moment or two.  Ask Apple if you don't know how.

  • TS1717 DEP shuts down program when i store is entered

    DEP shuts down program when i store is entered

    Simple, You have a hardware problem that only Apple can fix. So you need to take it back in to an Apple store and have it fixed by Apple. If it is still within it's one year warranty period it will be free.
    If you khaven't bought the Apple care Extended Warranty, Applecare, then I suggest you do that before the standard one year warranty runs out. You can't buy it after that one year warranty runs out and to fix any Mac out of warranty is Very Expensive.

  • Simple question - how do i shut down 'dashboard'

    After I wrote about Activity monitor I checked and saw individual widgets. However, if I run ps -ax in Terminal it shows up as (at least that is what I think it is):

  • I have downloaded photoshop elements 12 on mac. But the program keeps shutting down and i have to restart it the whole time.

    I have tried deleting the program and reinstalling it but it is not working.  It is really annoying since I use it for my photography business.  I can not work in a program that keeps shutting down. 

    You must always, always use the uninstaller in the PSE 12 folder in applications. Unfortunately, you broke some stuff by moving the program that way, so now I'm afraid you have a bit more work to do. First, download and run this:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    That will not actually remove anything, but it frees things up so you can go around and manually remove stuff. After running it, you will need to scurry around your hard drive and trash all the bits you can find. Start in your username>library>preferences. To see that library, option click Go menu in the finder and it will appear below the little house for your user account. look especially for files beginning com.adobe.whatever. While you're in that library go to the saved application states folder and delete anything pertaining to PSE.
    Next you need to go to the library at the top level of your hard drive>library>application support>adobe and delete all the PSE stuff in there. That library isn't exactly hidden, like the user library, but it's hard to get to. The easiest way is to go to the finder preferences>sidebar and turn on Hard Disks under Show these items in sidebar. Then the next time you open a finder window your hard drive will appear in the list on the left side of the window. Click it and the library you want for this will appear in the top level of results.
    Finally, after reinstalling PSE, be sure to immediately go to editor>help>updates and update to 12.1, then repair permissions.

  • MacBook Pro (Mid-2009) shuts down while running on battery

    Hi,
    Five months ago, my MacBook Pro 15'' (2.53Ghz) started showing me the message 'Service Battery'. I took it to an Apple Store and I was told that everything is still fine. Nevertheless, for the past 2 months my laptop shuts down while running on battery (with 20% and 40% levels of charge) periodically. This does not happen every time.
    Does anyone know if AppleCare covers this failure?
    Is there any other way to fix this?
    Thank you,
    George

    Mine does the same thing.  May i suggest downloading istat pro to look at the health of your battery.
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    Also do you calibrate your battery? 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
    I had never done that but after 15 months and 450+ cycles I was experiencing the same problem.  I am a heavy user of my mbp 15"  (2.4Ghz).  After calibrating my health in istat which was going between 30-53 % Is holding steady around 65-mid 70% health wise.  I have also noticed that my battery icon has gone from service battery to replace now to holding at replace soon for the time being.
    I am not sure how many cycles you can get out of one battery but as far as i know 700ish is good.  While i wish i was closer to an apple store (3ish hrs or more) i do hope i have helped you.

  • IMac G5 Shuts down while running applications

    I installed iLife '06.
    Since then my iMac G5 (20") has started shutting down while I'm working.
    I'm not sure if the installation is related to the intermittent shut down or if there is another problem.
    Someone told me that the fan might be bad. I don't know how to check if the fan is bad. I've heard that some iMac's have noisy fans. I've never heard the fans on my iMac.
    I've had my iMac for ten months with no problems.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    There are two common reasons for an iMac G5 to shut-down:
    1) a failing power supply (see the article A. Brody mentioned).
    2) Over-heating.
    I'll tackle the second one.
    All the recent Macs have a protection mechanism built-in. If the system gets beyond a given temperature, the computer will turn itself off (without warning) to prevent permanent damage.
    So, if you notice that the computer is running warm before it shuts-off, then that could be the cause.
    But, it is also very likely to be the power supply.
    And, operating with a faulty power supply could lead to tons of other problems or damage.
    So, I would personally get it into a shop for inspection and repair very fast.
    But, if it is under warranty, you should not have any trouble at all getting it fixed (either standard warranty or AppleCare).
    If it's warranty has expired, see if it is within the covered systems listed in the article A. Brody gave you.
    If so, request it to be inspected and repaired for free under terms of that extension.
    Regardless of which problem it is, get it fixed. Neither problem is one that should be ignored.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I shut down iPhoto when unresponsive?

    I have received a pop up window that "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work  with this version of iPhoto" as I attempted to download a photo from Facebook. I attempted to opt to "Quit" this option seeing as I did not plan to available as this update was being performed. I clicked onto the "Quit" button and now iPhoto is frozen, pinwheel reeling, cannot Quit iPhoto, no force quit option available. Afraid to turn off the computer (running Lion OSX) in case my photo library will become corrupted. Help! How do i shut down this app safely????

    Thank you, i will try this option. Only thing is i did read another person having this problem and he did shut down his computer and now his photo library in unaccessible!!! Ugh. I do have an external back up hard drive. I sure hope that my photos are on there to reload into iPhoto!!!!
    I did try to place my mouse over the iPhoto icon @ the dock and held down the control key with no results in shutting down the application.
