How to you stop the health app running in the background?

How to you stop the new Health App from running in the background? Its its always running collecting data on how many steps I have taken and how far I have walked.. I walked 12000 steps and travelled 4.1km DRIVING my kids to school this morning according to the app.

I never intend to use the health app because I do not need an app on my phone to help me live a healthy lifestyle. Therefore I find it intrusive there is no way to stop it from tracking my steps or whatever else it may be doing. I found a way to force the app to crash and maybe this will stop it from running in the background. Open the app, tap "Health Data" at the bottom of the screen, tap "Fitness" then "Steps" and tap "Add Data" type in a huge number - a very huge number with 30 or more characters, you can even add more than 1 decimal point. Repeat this for "walking + Running Distance". From this point forward the app will crash when you try to look at the data. Maye this prevents it from recording new data, I'm not sure but I really like the fact the app crashes. Hopefully Apple will add a feature to allow us to turn off data collection altogether or even better, allow us to delete this app.

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture?

How do you stop iOS 7 from auto enlarging your background picture? And before it's mentioned, no, Turing off Reduce Motion has absolutely NO effect on the auto enlarge feature that apple stupidly thought would be a good idea. The Reduce Motion ONLY stops the background from subtly shifting as you turn or angle the iDevice.

It should be my choice, not apples.
And I agree. But neither of us is a programming engineer at Apple, and so don't get to make those decisions. The user tip I wrote was based on the fact I didn't like it either, and was trying to figure out why it was scaling an image up in the first place, and then how to fix it as best as possible.
Since you've locked your iPad to one orientation, you should be able to copy your custom image off to your Mac (assuming you own one) and use an image editor, such as Photoshop Elements, to add pixel area to the narrow dimension to make it the same number of pixels as the larger dimension. Increase the canvas size so the extra space leaves the original narrower dimension centered, as in this example:
Copy it back to your iPad and select the modified image. Since it's square, it shouldn't scale.

How Do You stop Auto opening apps?

How do you stop the previous apps from auto starting when you start your machine? I have already turned off the retsore windows in system prefes and I dont have any auto startup items... so what gives, can someone tell me how to stop them from opening up? I suppose I could go and close every app before I take my laptop off its power plug (battery is dead now days)... but I was just hoping there was some otehr way rather than going into each app before I pick up and run.

Kind of...but not exactly. This has been discussed at length over the last few months.
I put together a summary of the various solutions into a single procedure for disabling the whole Resume feature here:

How do I stop unnecessary programs from running in the background on a Macbook Pro 2010?

Hi recently I bought a Macbook Pro OSX 10.8.3 2010 (2.4 GHz Intel Core / 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3). Im pretty content with it considering its my first Mac. Up until recently I had no problems with its speed.
My brother directed me to the activity monitor and showed me how to quit a program. However there are still a several running programs I do not recognize and/or do not use (such as photo stream, Calendar Agent, UserEventAgent, Notification Center, AppleSpell service, cfprefsd, talagent, xpcd, imagent, com.apple.dock.extra, fontd, loginwindow, SystemUIServer, tccd, usernoted etc etc etc UGH!! The list just goes on and on. There is a circular graph at the bottom in pir form highlighted with the colors green, red, blue and yellow indicating what is taking up space or speed? If I quit Safari a huge portion of the green is highlghted. but I can not seem to get it to fill the majority of the pie graph. I see there are all these running programs (most of which I do not use or recognize) but I cannot get them to quit even if I highlight it. How can I stop this? Quite frankly its so frustrating. Again I am new to Mac.
Thanks

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

How do you download third party apps (widgets) onto the iphone?

i have a cool new iphone. when i go to http://iphonewidgetlist.com/ there are lots of cool 3rd party apps which i would like to download but i can't figure out how to download anything nor do i understand how to transfer said 'download' to the iohone. any ideas?

What you're looking at are web pages, expressly designed to run on the iPhone Safari browser's miniature screen. "Weblets", if you will.
It is extremely unfortunate that people started calling them by the cute, but misleading name of "widget", since that really refers to something different.
Anyway, you're expected to either bookmark your favorite weblets, or at least bookmark one of the pages that act as home pages for your favorites.
(The latter are trying to look like the real Home page, which is where everyone wants these. And to tell the truth, it would make perfect GUI sense to let you place such a bookmark on your Home page, just as you can on a desktop. After all, the idea is to hide from the user what/where/how something works. But the iPhone is obviously still very much a work in progress.)

How do you stop a movie from playing past the end?

I uploaded a video to Vimeo I made from various clips and there was about 40 seconds of black after the end. How do you add a marker so it knows where to stop and hopefull return to the beginning. I already put the 'stop' marker in but it plays past it in the elements editor and assume that's what it did in the uploaded video. I believe 'stop' marker is only for DVD play. I have Elements 11.

Expand the Timeline with the -+ slider above the Timeline. Make sure that the slider is all the way to the right so that you are at maximum expansion. Then, as Hunt suggested, hit the End key and inspect the area where the Timeline Indicator stops. These possible fragments/leftovers present typically as very thin vertical black lines scattered in the tracks. After you delete any such fragments, repeat the process to make sure you have all the fragments.
The major reason for me adding to this thread was to remind you never to put a stop marker at the end of the last item on the Timeline. It is a bad practice to fall into. It is not needed and creates all sorts of problems especially as seen in burn to disc.
Please let us know the outcome.
Thanks.

How do you change from UK app store to the Philippines app store while still keeping your UK balance?

I have an iPad mini that is currently on the UK app store but I want to get onto the Philippines app store but still keep the money on my account. How do I do this?

You can't. To use another country's store you must have an Apple ID in that country, an iTunes account in that country together with a local billing address and local bank-issued credit card.
Contact iTunes Support - http://apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html - and ask them to clear your balance.

How do I stop a query from running when the page is loaded

Hi All,
I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.4. I have a JSPX page that is used to collect search parameters and then when a button is clicked uses those values to run a query and then populate a table on the same page. The problem is that when the page is loaded the system attempts to run the query. The query is a method in a session bean. I can keep the method from running the query code by wrapping it in an 'if' statement and checking the parameters for null (or other value). Once the parameters are collected the query is invoked but it looks like the method is running twice, once with the parameters (here I've checked that the result actually has rows in the list) and then again where the parameters are null and the method returns null.
What is the best way to do what I want here? From the buttons action method I am called the session beam method and returning null to stay on the same page. I think that is why the method is running the second time and returning null.
TIA,
Dave

Have a look at these screen casts from Steve Muench and see if one of these techniques works for you, or gives you the clue you need.

How do you stop updates on apps once you have selected to update all? I am limited on how much I can download daily and I need to STOP the updates

I only have a limited amount to download daily and I need to stop the updates.

Deletion of apps works as you describe EXCEPT in the case of apps that are pre-loaded as part of the iOS. Apps that are part of the iOS cannot be deleted by the user.
To free storage space, try removing unneeded videos, photos, music that take a very large amount of space.

Help ... how do you stop iMovie trying to re-open the same project

I would like to try some of the new features of iMovie for myself, though I guess it will be a waste of time seeing the other comments on this board (I really need to be able to edit video and audio and not just share), but at the moment I can't.
I tried to open a project file created in iMovie 06 HD but the iMovie 08 program crashed when attempting to open the project. However, the program now doggedly tries to open the project every time I start iMovie and with the same result, it falls over.
I have sent Apple a message but the chances of them responding are about zero in my experience. Anyone know how to stop this, I have tried the Esc key and other usual break sequences but iMovie 08 is nothing if not determined.
Thanks for any help.
Cheers
Robbie

HI Robbie,
Have you tried moving the project out of iMovies Project folder?
The path is ~/Movies/iMovie Projects/project name

How Do You Stop and Clear Updates in Progress?

Lets say you deploy and update and in goes to "in progress" and then you decide not to apply the updates (right away). How do you stop it and clear in from the SBS console?
Thanks!

Yep: WSUS
Right click and "decline", if "stop" is not a choice. You can always bring it back to the surface later.

I have not found any way to right click and stop the updates in progress.
