  • 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

  • How do I stop apps from running in the background on my 4s

    How do I stop apps from running in background on my iPhone 4s?  I double tap the home button and the running apps will move right and left but no "x" appears to stop them from running.

    Very few apps actually run in the background:
    Understand multitasking and background activity on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    As the article explains, force quitting an app is different under iOS 8.

  • How can I delete any programs running in the background?

    When I try deleting any open programs in the background, I double click on the home button to bring them up. I hold the icon down, expecting to see the little red delete button and the icon wiggle but nothing is happening.

    Double-tap on the Home button. You will see an image of the app above the actual icon. Slide the image up to kill it.

  • How can I know what apps are running in the background of Q10

    My battery is not lasting more than 12 hours even though I'm moderately using it. How can I tell which applications are running in the background?

    As of now, the BB10 does not allow any apps to run in the background unless they are baked in the OS or in the active frames. So if an app is not in a active frame, no app is running in the background. try maximizing your battery by switching to wif whenever you have a wifi network.

  • How do you stop apps from running on the iPad with the new ios7?

    How do you stop apps from running on the IPad with the new ios7?  I have an app for animation that pops up a message to stop other apps from running.  If I press onto a app and it starts shaking there are no -, just x's.

    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

    How do I stop programs from running in the background?  In the old system you could delete them.

    Most of those apps aren't running in the background, but what you are asking is how to close the apps.
    To close an app in iOS 7, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.

    When making a call, sometimes, my iPhone 5 , gets stuck on 'Calling' than I have to press END..but still nothing happens, than when I press HOME button, the call app keeps running in the background and it keeps saying CALLING... than I have to wait 2 - 3 minutes and call again.
    please help

    Has nothing to do with the SIM or master reset.  This has been done to my phone.  The SIM once and the factory reset many times over.  You all just sold us a bad piece of equipment and have us by the tail with our contracts so none of us can get a new phone without paying full price or re-upping our contract.  I just got off the phone last night with your high up tech people (you know, the hidden number we get once we tear into your support people enough), they went into my phone again and still didn't find anything wrong.  I about got fired from my job for not getting my calls and texts.  The BBB has now been contacted, and I feel your end should shore this up for all of us!

  • How do i pause/stop something running in the background?

    I'll try to give as many details as I can:
    I am using an auto clicker program (quick keys x), and I copied and pasted 150 or so of the same mouse recording, each lasting around 5 minutes. I want them to run, but I need to know how to pause them whenever. I didn't change any of the hot key options or anything. The program that is up and running (that I see listed in the top left corner) is google chrome. I want that to stay up while the auto clicker is running. The top right has a thing with a Q, pause symbol, and a stop symbol. That's where it's running, and I want to know how to pause that (or stop if neccesary) without closing google chrome at all.
    If you have any questions on the situation, please ask, I need all the help I can get!
    Thanks!

    I usually just kill the process.  If I know a specific app is running in the background, say "iPhoto", and I can't close it normally, I open a terminal and type:
    ps -A | grep iPhoto
    then i kill the proccess id with:
    kill -9 ###
    where ### is the process id.  you might need to add a sudo before that if root access is required:
    sudo kill -9 ###

  • HT4528 I have an IPhone 4S--How do I see if apps are running in the background and should they be deleted?

    I have an IPhone 4S.  How do I see if there are any apps open in the background and if so, should they be deleted to save energy?
    Thanks

    Very few apps run in the background - mainly music playing apps and GPS apps.  Double-clicking the Home button gives you a list of previously used apps, not (as so many people believe) "running" apps.  You can delete the apps from the list if you wish, but it will make no difference to energy usage (unless they actually are running, as in the categories above. You should know if you are using GPS or if you can hear music).

  • If Safari or internet apps are running in the "background..."

    Are they still going using data? I'm a new member on a 2GB a month plan. Most of the time I'm on wifi, but not always. I've been being careful to turn them off if I'm not on wifi, but how careful do I have to be? I don't really know much about this.
    Btw, what is a quick way to turn my apps off? The double click method on the circle and then hold a button until the minus button comes up and turn them off that way or is there a quicker way?

  • Is there a way to keep apps from running in the background?

    I just updated to an Iphone 6, with the latest version of IOS.  It's a great product, but for me there is one annoyance.  There are times when my memory gets low.  I find out that it's the apps that are running in the background.  I personally don't use this.  All it does is hog memory.  Then, to close the apps, you have to close each one individually.  I forgot how many apps I have open, I'm of the mindset that when I close the app, that it's "really" closed, not still running in the background.  It would be nice if there was a way to disable this function.  It doesn't seem to serve a purpose for me in the way I use the Iphone.  I just "cleaned up my list of "behind the scenes apps" and I had about 20.  It gets frustrating to have to go to each one to close it.  Any comments or suggestions?

    Some things that might help:
    1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
    http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
    2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
    - Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
    - Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
    - Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
    Hope some of that helps
