How do you force quit an app?

I was doing a drawing on Sketchbook Pro Ink and it froze on the gallery page. Their support forum suggested (to another member) that the first thing to do was force quit the app. But that was a year ago and I don't think his directions apply to my most current iPa

How do you force quit an import

My IPhoto will not quit because it says it is importing from a no name device that is not connected to the computer. How do I force quit an import?

Option-command-Esc ... brings up a list of aplications that you can force quit.

How to force quit an app in IOS 7.0.4 on iPad 3 ?

I have searched on this topic, and see repeated references to the double click HOME button, then hold the particular app card, and swipe "up and away".
This does NOT work on my device.
I can double-click the HOME button, and see the app switcher row at the bottom, showing the running (or suspended) apps. Holding a given card turns it gray, but then nothing else happens. If I move as to swipe, the card simply un-grays -- there is no movement or any other action. It will allow me to swipe left and right, but not up.
I have no other issues with the iPad and this release, that I know of.
Thank you.

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID?

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID? A good example is if you are forced to change your email, which you use as your Apple ID. what if it is a security app and you lose a lot of data if you lose the app? Why are the apps tied to the Apple ID rather than the user? Why is it impossible to globally change the Apple I D?

All content is tied to the account, but you can change the primary email address on an account e.g. you can log into your account via the Store > View Account on your computer's iTunes and there should be an Edit button to the right of your account id on your account's page, or similarly on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and view your account. Or you can update it by logging into it via this page http://appleid.apple.com . You shouldn't lose any content on the account if you update it.
After updating the account you may need to log out of your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for it to be 'refreshed' on it

When in Full screen mode.. just press Command-F. Voila!

Does Force Quitting The App have Any Harmful Effects?

I have an iPod 3G.
To force quit an app, I heard that for newer models like mine, you have to hold down the hold button, and when the iPod asks you if you want to shut down, you press the home button for five seconds until the iPod returns to the springboard.
I heard that force quitting an app is good because it stops it from running in the background.
Is using this method harmful to your iPod in anyway at all?

iPod touch and iPhone run apps in what is known as a "sandbox". That is, each app is a separate process and starting, stopping, or force quitting has no effect on the OS or other apps.
As far as background apps go, the only one I can think of is Music. Everything else is the only app running at the time. The only time you should have to force-quit is if the app hangs up.
BTW, I think you are getting how the iPhone software operates confused with Android - which does keep a number of apps running in the background.

IPhoto freezes when i open the app, each time it is open on the same photo and when i try to swap to another photo it freezes until i force quit the app.

I have recently come back from a trip to Venice, i uploaded my photos to iPhoto to view and edit them, half way through the photos from day three of my trip it has frozen on a particular photo. I force quit the app and then re open it and it is still on the same image with the exact same problem. I am now unable to view any photos of my trip as they're all on iPhoto and i cannot access the albums because they are stuck on this one photo. I need to be able to access them by 11th March because i have a project due in about our trip and we need to include the best of our photos and at the moment i am being stopped from even looking at them. PLEASE HELP!

What version of iPhoto?
Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I accidentally unplugged my iphone from my computer before it finished importing, how do I force quit?

heeeelp

Howdy alexfromtexas,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
I'm not sure which application you were using to import the Photos from your iPhone, but if you follow the directions below you can force quit any app on your Mac.
Choose Force Quit from the Apple menu, or press Command-Option-Esc
(this is similar to pressing Control-Alt-Delete on a PC).
Select the unresponsive app in the Force Quit window, then click Force Quit.
Force an app to close on your Mac - Apple Support
Have a good one,
Alex H.

How do I force quit firefox?

The the tool and navigation bars are gone, I don't know why. Now I want to quit, or rather force-quit firefox. How in the world can I do it?
Methinks this browser is getting ever worse, with every new version!

Please change the title of this discussion, if you're only talking about how to make the command bar visible. Your title is misleading.
My problem is, how do you Force Firefox to QUIT when you want to shut down a session that is taking an unacceptable length of time to do whatever bulls* the programmers thought was so important that the didn't leave any exit points for Users to exit, for minutes at a time.

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed and you don't know what it is now?

How do you access updates to apps from the App store after changing to a new ID because the password on the old ID was changed by the former husband and you don't know what it is now? And you set up your own new ID and account but can NOT access the updates, from the App store for the many apps that you already have, because they require that you sign in with that former now inaccessible ID and account and password? Call it a problem of modern times and changing relationships, if you want to be charitable.

So I guess it will only be new apps that I download that are allowed to give me their updates while 13 updates wait for me on an ID I can no longer access.
Yes... sorry.
In the future, if need be, you can re download your purchases for free > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Good rule of thumb is to back up your purchases regardless > Mac App Store: Backing up your app purchases

How do you force itunes comments to ID3 tags in MP3 files?

I have comments all throughout itunes. The mp3 files do not have those comments in the ID3 info.
How do you force itunes comments to write out to ID3 tags in MP3 files?
The folder and files all have write permission.

Yeah, don't do that, you probably also degrade the sound quality... If you've confirmed it is something odd with multiple tags try this.
Select a group of mp3 files (You might want to start with a smart playlist so you don't mess with any other format)
Right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > None (may need to repeat this step if multiple tags)
Then right-click and use Convert ID3 Tags > v2.3 (v2.4 support still patchy from various accounts)
Downside is that it will lose any embedded artwork, but it should preserve all other meta-data, both tag-based and stored within the library itself.
In fact, if you use my CreateFolderArt script before and after updating the tags it should archive any artwork as a local Folder.jpg image for each album and then reinsert that image on the subsequent run... Check it out on a single album first. If it doesn't work as expected let me know and I'll tweak the script to achieve this end.
