How to kill an app which hangs

How to kill an app which hangs or takes a long time to load?
As an example I opened the IE, choose settings --> delete history
the status is: 'Deleting browsing history' for the last 20 minutes and I don't really know how to kill the IE or restart it? The back button doesn't work in this case.
same happens with other apps, like games when there's a limited internet access. Apps may try to load and the back button doesn't work in this case.

It's not that there's no response, cos I can switch apps and other apps respnd. It's just that a specific app hangs (or loads data or whatever) which takes too long for me to wait for and I'd like to kill it.
So the question is - if the phone is generally responsive but one app in the background needs to be killed, can I somehow do this not rebooting the whole device?
edit: just to add: the back button while hold get's me to the app list and I can switch apps and work with others.

How do I prevent apps which I've downloaded to my iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch

How do I prevent apps that I've downloaded to my Iphone from automatically downloading to my kids ipod touch. Also how do I prevent apps which my kid has downloaded to her ipod touch from automatically downloading to my ipad/iphone when I connect to the computer. I manage all through my same itunes account.

When you connect a device to ITunes go to the Apps tab for that device and uncheck "Automatically sync new apps". You will have to do this for each device.

Hi
If the process chain is running in background,
goto SM37
Give * in the jobname
Give the username who scheduled the process chain
Job status - check the check boxes - SCHED, relased, ready, active
click execute.
It displays all the process chains that, scheduled & running.
You can select the process chain that need to be stopped & click STOP active job or ctrl+F1.
Hope this helps!
Kindly award points for all useful answers.
If you post the BW related queries in the BI general forum, you will get more answers.

Hi,
I found the stock in MD04 transaction. Can you tell me for what purpose these quantity of stock is blocked here in the Stock/Requirement list?
I found a lot of line items and when i click on the detail tab, it takes me to a delivery order. When I click on the document flow, all the deliveries have been completed (PGI done). If PGI has already been done for these deliveries, then why it still shows in "Shedule for Delivery" status. I can not use those quantities as these are blocked and can not be used for future delivery. How to make it available under "Unrestricted use"?
Thanks & regards

How to Kill an App?

I've come across this problem a couple of times and my only way out was to turn off the phone, then switch back on...
Problem: some apps work in landscape mode and don't seem to respect the gestures as they should. The last example is 'Mahjong Legends', which I've used happily on my PlayBook. I saw that it was available in the Blackberry World list on the Z10 (evidently, it was listing apps I've downloaded for the PlayBook that we assume are also compatible with the Z10), so I downloaded it. All was good as it started... right away in landscape mode. The game plays, but there is no 'quit' option in the app menu. And swiping from any edge did absolutely nothing. No way to get out of the app that I could see.
Is there a trick to this, or is it a bug?
A follow-up question... should the swipes rotate with viewing mode (landscape/portrait)? Perhaps my Otter Box is interfering with the bezels on the long edges, but I seem to get locked into landscape mode once in a while...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Removing the case absolutely did solve the problem. I was confronted with the problem in two different circumstances.
The first was 'Mahjong Legends', which opens in landscape mode and doesn't rotate to portrait. I had zero luck swiping the bottom of the landscape mode to minimize the app for closing. Removing the case solved this and I can swipe up from the bottom of the long portrait edge to shut it down.
The second was the web browser, in landscape mode. I eventually did manage to minimize it while in landscape mode, but it took several trys and significant pressure from the edge of the case onto the screen. Too much to be usable in my opinion. I could rotate to portrait to make the upward swipe work, but I shouldn't need to. Without the case, the phone just works as it should, and feels much more like my PlayBook.
I saw a comment somewhere about the protective screen portion of the Otterbox causing trouble. Some have cut it off. I didn't try that as I wanted to return it... ;-) but it might be at least a partial solution for some who can't NOT use that box!
Knowing what I do today, I'll be very fussy with my case selection. I put a screen protector film (are those over-priced or what?!) on it for the moment and will watch to see what comes on the market. I like the BB holster, but it doesn't seem to be large enough to allow any sort of skin. Roots is evidently coming out with something similar to the Otterbox which I'll look at, but who knows...

How do i install apps, which you pay for on several iphones via iphone configuration utility

?

There is no officially supported way to install apps without using the AppStore. This is the way the iPhone is designed to work.
If that does not work for you or whomever will be using the device, then maybe an iPhone is not the right solution for that person.

How to kill AMCMenu process which uses my whole ram for mac os 10.8.5 macbook pro?

whenever i kill AMCMenu through activity monitor it starts again and uses my ram. i have restarted my computer many times .please help .
here the link to AMCMenu process sample : http://forums.macrumors.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=438583&d=1380955778

This is a temporary solution --
Step 1: From Activity Monitor, determine the process id (column PID) for AMCMenu - e.g. 100.
Step 2: Open a terminal window and type the following runes:
sudo kill -stop <value of PID from Step 1>
e.g. sudo kill -stop 100
It will ask for your password - type it fearlessly.
you are done......
To release it into the wild again:
Either:
sudo kill -cont <value of PID from Step 1>
e.g. sudo kill -cont 100
Or:
it will be started automatically when you restart your Mac.
thanx

How to download an app which is removed from app store?

3 years ago I downloaded Texas Hold'em app and it's still the greatest app for poker in my opinion, but when I searched it today I couldn't find it. I searched web and learned that it has been removed by Apple. Is there anyway to download it again or what else I can do?

As deggie said, it can't be downloaded. Is it not in your iTunes library on your computer?

How do I uninstall apps which I downloaded in error?

I have tried to hold down the app til it wiggles but an x does not appear in the left hand corner.
I have also connected to itunes to uninstall an app and then done a sync but it does not disappear. Another app that I am trying to delete off my phone does not even appear in itunes so I am completely stuck. I have an iphone 4s with the latest apple software update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try holding down the sleep button and home button down at the same button for about 10 seconds, it will restart it, then showing a white screen with the apple logo as it turns on. Once its on, try holding down the apps. again for about 10 seconds, and see if x appears. Your iphone may have had a glitch, or it could of froze.
Hopes this helps you.

How to kill aprocess

Hi,
could anybody tell me how to kill a process which is runnuing on unix OS.
actually I have an RMI server, and I want to write an applet or some thing simillar to stop this server.
So I need to know it is pid on the server to kill it.
Any body has an idea??

It's not that there's no response, cos I can switch apps and other apps respnd. It's just that a specific app hangs (or loads data or whatever) which takes too long for me to wait for and I'd like to kill it.
