How do I stop previews of recent activity appearing when I double tap the home button

HHow do I stop previews of recent activity from appearing when I double tap the home button

As others have mentioned, you are seeing the Multitasking bar which is a feature of iOS:
Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If left alone long enough and after running many apps over a period of time, iOS will eventually close off the app(s) that have not been used for the longest period of time to gain back memory to be used to run other apps that are currently not in Multitasking. There's no way to automatically prevent an app from appearing in the Multitasking bar nor any way to shut them all down at once. You can easily close them off manually as needed by swiping up on the app's displayed screen shot (NOT the lower icon). Multitasking is by design and cannot be changed/modified.

If an app freezes on you - you can try force quitting the app.
Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

After you double click the home button, Swipe the list of active apps to the right and you will see the music controls and the screen rotation lock.

I have my iPhone locked and I don't want the music controls to pop up when I double click the home button. Does anyone know how to make it stop?

what exactly are you trying to accomplish here? i understand that you don't want to see the music status come up on your lock screen, but what are you trying to do by clicking your home button at all?

This is in relation to iOS 7.

you still double tap the home button. There is a preview screen above the programs icon. swipe up, and the app is removed.

Double tap the home button. Slide the preview window upward. You can do 2 at a time.
It's rarely useful or necessary to do this. Very few apps actually "run in the background" (such as audio streaming and navigation apps). The vast majority are frozen and consume no resources. The iOS manages memory for you to optimize running apps.

How do you show the camera lock screen on ipad 3? double tapping the home button on lock screen does not work...

hello! just got my new ipad and i was wondering how to activate the camera lock screen on ipad 3...

Exactly . . . No camera icon.

When I double clicked the home button my screen changed to what looks almost like a picture negative (muted colouring) I turned it off and on but noo luck. How do I get back to my usual screen colours? Thanks for your help!).

First time using the Apple Support Community. Trying to reset my screen so colors don't look like what can only be described as a picture negative. I recall double clicking the home button when this happened before but as that didn't work this time would be grateful for some help. Many thanks!

So when you triple tap the home button then it goes to negative colors, it is simple to go back. All you have to do is triple tab the home button again and it will go back if it doesnt then, go to Settings>General>Accessibility>And then switch off Invert Colors

How does this happen: The picture of recent apps you get when double clicking the home button showed in Settings-Wifi that I had been connected to a network I have not been near for two months. Its not a recent "image" of Settings-Wifi. Can anyone explain

Greetings,
I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
Good Luck - Cheers,
M.

Have you guys been able to activate your iphone yet? I bought an iphone 4s from eBay and it worked fine, but the previous user had left some data on it, so last night I used the "erased all content and settings" to restore it to factory setting so I can start fresh and restore my backup. But now I'm stuck at the activation screen (I get the same "the activation server is temporarily unavailable") and can't get it to activate, even if I use my old deactivated AT&T sim card (I'm on straighttalk now).
I might try activating it with an active AT&T sim card from my fiancee's phone when she gets home, so I'll let you know how that works outs.
If it's true that the server is down; anyone know when it will be back up again? Thanks in advance.

The apps in the multitaskbar should appear like pages on the whole display. To close them, just swipe from the bottom to the top. you can select single apps for closing, when you swipe them like you would swipe your homescreens.

Before updating my iPhone 4S, I could double click the home button, and delete all of the previously opened apps. I am not able to figure out to do that now, after installing the latest update. Does anyone know how to do this?
