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 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

Lightroom 5.4 is getting stuck in full screen mode. I need to force-quit the app in order to re-start and use again. How can I fix this?

I am using Mac osX 10.9.2
I can see that I am not the only one with this problem.

LOL... this is what I just had to look up... it's not exactly clear or apparent, is 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. .

How do I transfer purchased apps back from my compuer onto my IPAD? I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system, which erased my IPAD. I can't get my purchased apps from my computer back onto IPAD.

I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system as directed. This erased all my apps from my IPAD. How do I get my apps from my computer back onto the IPAD. Simple syncing does not seem to work. I also have another IPAD synced with this computer, if that matters.

How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad

How can I change the appe ID that is registred in my Ipad? It was bought for a friend and he put his own ID. I have my ID but I don' t know how I can install it in my Ipad

Tap on the id in Settings > Store and log out of it and then log in with your id. But if there is any content on the iPad from his account then you are probably better off resetting back to factory defaults via Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings and starting 'as new' with it - content is tied to the id that bought/downloaded it so your account won't be able to download updates to any of his apps, and unless his account is authorised on your computer's iTunes and his content is on there then it will be deleted when you sync to it.

How do i unistall an app with no icon displayed on an ipad?

how do i unistall an app with no icon displayed on an ipad?
app downloaded when desktop was full so no icon appeared.
now desktop reorganised I would like to reinstall .
the app has installed but can only be found using search.
Thanks

go to settings, general usage. wait a while, and the list of apps (with their associated space usage) will appear. If you have that many apps, it will take a while to get that list to appear, so - go get a cup of coffee. find the app and tap it. You will have the opportunity to delete it there.
If it is not real big app, you may need to tap 'show all apps' at the bottom of the list presented. I think the initial list is the top 10 based on app size.

How do you turn off apps in ios 7 to save battery?

in old OS, you could turn off apps to save battery. how do you do it in new OS7?

To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.
Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings, as explained in this article .... http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-battery/

Help please! Photoshop CS5Bridge Auto collection progress bar frozen. How to force quit?

I am stuck in Bridge/ CS5. I put pictures into an Auto Collection and then hit cancel. It did not cancel completely. It has been frozen for 7 hours with the progress bar stuck, still active, three fourths of the way done.
How do I stop it or force it closed?
Thank you for help!!!!

Good day!
How do I stop it or force it closed?
That would depend on your OS, I guess.
On a Mac cmd-alt-esc raises the »Force Quit Application« dialog, I don’t know for Windows.
But this is not the Bridge Forum anyways, for Brisge specific issues check out

Trying to force quit unresponsive app causes mac to freeze

recently my MBP has begun freezing when I try to force quit a not responding app. the only thing that works is shuting down via the power button. The main culprits seem to be Sparrow & Filemaker but it is difficult to tell if these are the source of the problem or not. has any one else experienced this problem?

Thanks guys (I'm using guys in a non-sexist way in case one or both of you are differently equipped).
My problem 71 is that I live 125 kms from the nearest Mac Store. And it's a holiday so I'm losing a day's work. The local guys who does repair Macs is great. But since I couldn't contact Apple I would feel obliged to pay him for his services.
I realize I am under the 90-day service period and I do plan to buy Apple Care, as I get close to the end of the 90s days. But the failing, it seems to me, in Apple Support is they it is built around you having access to your machine or the web. And if, like today, I couldn't access them then the service is moot.
I'm lucky in that I still have my old MacBook pro stuck in a closet in reserve.
I do appreciate you and WZZZ taking the time to help me out.
