How to stop apps running in background

I tried reinstalling MS Office 2011 but cant stop an app running in the background. It needs to stop prior to the install and I cant stop it.

Install Basics for Office 2011
Not only should Safari be quit but all browsers and hidden Microsoft processes like the Microsoft Database daemon and SyncServicesAgent. To disable these applications:
Log Out/In
Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar
Log in and hold down the Shift key (this disables all startup items including the hidden ones)
Restart after installing updater
Note for the MAU and MERP updaters you do NOT have to restart after updating. These are found in the root Library:
/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/
Why Restart?
The Restart after updater will force a file that stores the version info to update. This should happen automatically but sometimes it doesn't. The next updater will fail and you will have to re-install Office. The restart is a quick step that will save time in the long term.

Hello Skittles1202
It sounds like more of the storage of your iPad is full. Plug it into your computer and check in iTunes or on your iPad go to Settings > General > Usage and it will sort out in order of what is taking up the most space. Once you figure that out you can either delete what is not needed or import any photos that you may have to your computer. If you want to close out any application that you may have open previously, then double tap the home button and then swipe up on any app that you want to close

Go to SM37 , find the job , stop the process
or
To stop the job find the job with the help of the request name ( TC - SM37 ),then in the job Details find the PID .
find the process in the process Overview (SM50 / SM51 ).
Set the restart to NO and Cancel the process without core
u can also see these threads that are already posted:

How to 'STOP' a running java thread in J2ME?

Dear All,
How to 'STOP' a running java thread in J2ME?
In the middleware viewpoint, for some reasons we have to stopped/destroyed the running threads (we have no information how these applications designed).
But in J2ME, Thread.destroy() is not implemented. Are there other approaches to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Jason

Hi jason,
Actually there are no methods like stop() and interrupt() to stop the threads in J2ME which is present in normally J2SE Environment.
But the interrupt method is introduced in Version 1.1 of the CLDC.
So, we can handle the thread in two ways.
a) If it is of single thread, then we can use a boolean variable in the run method to hadle it. so when the particular boolean value is changed , it will come out of the thread.
for eg:
public class exampleThread implements Runnable
public boolean exit = false;
public void run()
while(!exit)
#perform task(coding whatever u needed)
public void exit()
exit = true;
b) If it is of many threads then we can handle using the instance of the current thread using currentThread() method
for eg:
public class exampleThread implements Runnable
public Thread latest = null;
public Thread restart()
latest = new Thread(this);
latest.start();
public void run()
Thread thisThread = Thread.currentThread();
while( latest == thisThread )
#perform some tasks(coding part);
public voi d stopAll()
latest = null;
while ( latest == thisThread )
performOperation1();
if( latest != thisThread )
break;
performOperation2();

TS3274 Background apps. How to close apps running in the background.

I just down loaded iOS 7.1. Background apps closer problem. Double clicking home button no longer opens all my running apps. How will I close running background apps? Thank you.

Double-clicking home button should still work. Unless you changed something, perhaps in accessibility settings? Try varying the speed.
But there is an alternative: swipe with 4 or 5 fingers upward off the top, this should get you to the same place.

TrackPad not working unless "Diagnostic Tests" app running in background

My Torch 9810 TrackPad stopped working... I had downloaded the BlackBerry 7 OS free apps including those that provide "notifications" and "text to speech" and "speech recognition" capabilities that I don't mind having to fool around with, but I don't want to use all the time... they tend to take over buttons and configuration too much, so in my efforts to remove them or at LEAST get them to stop activating every time my BB moves in my pocket I was uninstalling things. I was told I had to reboot the device, and after doing so, the trackpad would not work.
So I go back and restore my backup... and the trackpad works... briefly: all the restored apps start asking for permissions etc. and run their configuration wizards whatever and then the trackpad stopped working again.
I've tried restoring AGAIN and have even downgraded the OS to get back to a "more stable" configuration with NO third-party software installed and no luck.
At this point, the trackpad does NOT work at all in any apps. I'm sure this is a software-related problem and not that the trackpad itself is broken and needs replacement.
I've used BBSAK to try to lobotomize it back to total "factory default" but that didn't work either.
I want to rule out a hardware failure (I'm SURE this is just software related, because it happened after a reboot and there had been no problems prior to this) So today I visit the BlackBerry.com website and search for "trackpad"
I get "trackpad not working" as the first result.
"TrackPad Not Working" KB article
At the very bottom of the page is a link to the "Device Self Test Application" instructions at:
"Diagnostic Self Tests" KB Article
So as soon as I start in with the Diagnostic Self Test app, it asks "Do you want a guided setup" and shows "Yes" and "No" buttons. Instinctively I try to use the TrackPad to navigate to "No" because I just want the trackpad diagnostic, and... the trackpad works.
I exit the "Diagnostic" app and go back to my home screen and it works again... briefly...
I re-enter the diagnostic app, the trackpad works, then I long-press the Menu key to go to different apps, and the trackpad continues to work.
So, it seems like keeping the 'Diagnostic Self Test' app running in the background is 'propping up' the TrackPad so it works, but when I exit the Diagnostic app, it stops working.
Also, the back of the device seems warmer than usual, as if the CPU is being driven hard.
I'm wondering if some rogue app might be crippling the TrackPad? And the Diagnostic Self Test app is somehow pushing the rogue app aside but the rogue app is "waiting as hard as it can" and driving the CPU hard?
Yeah, I'm grasping / speculating / making stuff up, but maybe someone can decipher what I'm saying and give me some clues?
If there's a "end user totally restore the firmware to a factory configuration" that will likely resolve this issue, I'm capable enough to try it rather than be without the trackpad (or the device being repaired under warranty) for days.

Note: I decided to try exiting the Diagnostic Self Test app to see if the TrackPad would stop working... or if using a specific app made it stop working... and after doing so, then rebooting etc. the TrackPad has now been working for many hours: dare I try to reinstall some of the apps I removed?

How to stop a running job in 10g Scheduler?

The following is a duplicate post. I posted the following to the general database forum before seeing that otn has a new scheduler forum:
I am not able to find in the Admin Guide a method to stop a currently running instance of a job in the 10g scheduler.
In 9i, I run the following script calling DBMS_JOB.broken and DBMS_JOB.remove to shut down currently running jobs:
DECLARE
jobid NUMBER;
CURSOR c1
IS
SELECT job
FROM dba_jobs
WHERE priv_user = 'ME';
BEGIN
OPEN c1;
LOOP
FETCH c1
INTO jobid;
EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
DBMS_JOB.broken (jobid, TRUE);
COMMIT;
DBMS_JOB.remove (jobid);
COMMIT;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c1;
END;
How may I create similar code to shut down currently running jobs using DBMS_SCHEDULER in 10g? According to the Admin Guide, disabling jobs with the force option will still allow the job to finish.
How can I terminate a running job in 10g?

You can stop a currently running job using the STOP_JOB api.
STOP_JOB Procedure
This procedure stops currently running jobs or all jobs in a job class. Any instance of the job will be stopped. After stopping the job, the state of a one-time job will be set to SUCCEEDED whereas the state of a repeating job will be set to SCHEDULED or COMPLETED depending on whether the next run of the job is scheduled.
Syntax
DBMS_SCHEDULER.STOP_JOB (
job_name IN VARCHAR2
force IN BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE);
Parameters
Table 83-44 STOP_JOB Procedure Parameters
Parameter Description
job_name
The name of the job or job class. Can be a comma-delimited list. For a job class, the SYS schema should be specified.
If the name of a job class is specified, the jobs that belong to that job class are stopped. The job class is not affected by this call.
force
If force is set to FALSE, the Scheduler tries to gracefully stop the job using an interrupt mechanism. This method gives control back to the slave process, which can update the status of the job in the job queue to stopped. If this fails, an error is returned.
If force is set to TRUE, the Scheduler will immediately terminate the job slave. Oracle recommends that STOP_JOB with force set to TRUE be used only after a STOP_JOB with force set to FALSE has failed.
Use of the force option requires the MANAGE SCHEDULER system privilege.
Setting force to TRUE is not supported for jobs of type executable.
Usage Notes
STOP_JOB without the force option requires that you be the owner of the job or have ALTER privileges on that job. You can also stop a job if you have the CREATE ANY JOB or MANAGE SCHEDULER privilege.
STOP_JOB with the force option requires that have the MANAGE SCHEDULER privilege.
