How to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

how to turn off programs running in the background in the background on iPad

Most apps do not run in the background on an iPad. Their stae is kept in memory so that when you start the app again it will load quickly at the location you last used it. But you can remove these apps from the Recently Used list. Here's how:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app.
Some apps do refresh in the background if you have that Setting turned on. You can control apps there individually or turn off Back Ground App Refresh completely in the Settings App.
Settings > General > Background App Refresh

    How to turn off programs running in the background withiOS7?

    I would just add that it is not necessary. The programs referred to are only the recently used programs, and are not "running in the background" with the sometimes exception of GPS apps and music apps. They are simply dormant in the memory. The operating system will remove these programs if the space is required.

  • How to turn off apps running in backgrd..not the same in Os7?

    Dear All,
    I hope this finds everyone in good health! I know the method to turn off backgrd running apps before OS 7 but am not aware if thiscan be done with OS 7?
    The usual way is to hit Home button twice then when the apps appear below, hold your finger over the app untilt they start shaking and hit the x. On my iPad 4 when I do so it tels me it will delete the app from the iPad....
    Sorry if I missed any posts on this subject.
    Thank you all and yes, I am awaiting the new iPad5!
    Thank you!

  • How do I turn off programs running in background

    With the upgrade to i0s 6, my ipad is using up battery quickly and I can't turn off the programs running in the background

    Double click the home button, touch and hold an app along the bottom until they all start to jiggle and get a red circle with a minus sign, touch each red circle and that app will be dismissed...do that for each app.

  • How to turn off apps running in the background on the iPad mini

    I am a long time iPhone and Mac user. We just purchesed a new iPad mini. I can't seem to get the apps running in the background to turn off. They won't wiggle, neither will they let me swipe up to remove them. Is there a preference in settings I need to turn on?
    Thanks!

    HI. Me and my dad share the same apple id. I just found it out recently since he bought a new apple device ios 8, and all his bookmarks in safari kept on appearing on my ipad and the customer guide books that he purchased for his ios 8 appeared on my ibooks. How can i stop syncing with him ? Also i want to know if the old books i have in my ibooks and photos in my photo stream have been synced to his new ipad also? I cant see his ipad since he's far away from me right now. I just turned off all options in my icloud setting, will this erase all the syncing between our devices? Please answer soon. Thank you so much.

  • How turn off program manager to install 10.1.4 reader?

    When I try to install Adobe Reader 10.1.4, it says it will change files being used by a running file entitled Program Manager and to turn it off, but I don't know how to turn off Program Manager or even how to find it.  Can you please help?
    Thanks, Dannyo1

    It's XP SP3.
    No, I can't get an error message, just a box stating that Program Manager needs to be turned off to continue with installation.
    Thanks

  • How to turn off Flex Time

    Hi I am just wondering how to turn off flex time as it gets in the way.

    There's a little button on the left by the word "Audio Region"
    If the EVIL FLEX TIME is on, that little icon next to "Audio Region" will be twisted like a bow-tie indicating that the EVIL FLEX TIME has been activated.
    To move audio you have to select the top bar of the clip in this lower audio region (you can see the name of the track or the time code of the track). You can drag-highlight-delete audio from under the "0" line, but not move it. You can also clumsily-and-not-at-all-precisely move audio in the upper tracks (as opposed to the Audio Region window) by dragging them. That won't engage EVIL FLEX TIME at all.
    Hope that helps.
    :S
    I know... it all stinks and now it looks like the latest Garageband update messes it all up even more!
    OY!
