HT5137 Iphone 4S with 5 update- deleting running background apps question

I cannot close my open background apps.  I have double clicked the button to access my open running apps.  I have held my finger on the apps trying to get them to jiggle with an x in the upper right hand corner but it won't work. I can't get the jiggling or the x.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  

Hi Dilbert.
I hope you are still here
I have an i4S that (I assume had the original software when I received it two days ago. The previous owner told me to upgrade to 7.1 or whatever but I just went straight to 8.1.2 (I believe)
The "Hold-em-down-till-they-wiggle approach worked great until I upgraded.
Even the repetetive stress injury inducing upward swipe doesn't work, I have millions of apps destroying my battery.
Even a restart doesn't help. When I restart all the apps just fire up again.
A little embarrassing actually.
Regards

  • IPhone 5 won't update/delete or download apps in ios7

    My daughter has been asking me to update her apps. She only has 7 to update but for about 4 days they constantly show they are "waiting". Have done a reset and tried to delete the apps and reinstall. Nothing is working.
    Netflix is an example. The update says that it is for ios7 but still in limbo like the rest.
    Any ideas or help?
    Thanks in advance

    Sadly Sounds like the iCloud restore was intrupted if a restart does not let you delete a erase all content is needed
    But first back up to itunes to have a second restore option

  • HT4528 My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on th Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now my iPhone 5 has the same problem.

    My wife had a problem with her iPhone 5C with no voice on the Maps app.  I visited my local Apple store and they said the problem was in iCloud.  We did a new install and it works great now.  Now 4 days later my iPhone 5 that is tied to the same iCloud has the same problem with the Maps app.  I really don't want to go through a new set-up with my iPhone 5.  What's going on with iCloud?

    I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
    The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
    if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
    Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
    turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

    If so, then you must mark the Apps that you have deleted in iTunes to not reload. If this isn't done they will return after a sync.

  • If I no longer have access to my original e-mail associated with my account and my passwords and e-mail accounts associated with my Apple device, how can I fix this solution? I have 2 ipads and 1 iphone and I cannot update any of my apps.

    I tried to change the e-mail associated with my apple account because my school was closing and I knew I would no longer have accss to that e-mail account, however now all 3 of my devices ( 2 ipads & 1 iphone are screwed up as far as the e-mail accounts associated with each device and the passwords. I have tried all the on-line support/suggestions and took my devices to a local Apple store and no one/nothing helps.
    Does anyone have a solution? I can purchase new apps but I cannot update any of the apps I have to any of my devices.
    <Email Edited By Host>

    Unfortunately, it says I can't delete anything without the missing password.

  • Iphone 3gs with ios5 update. bluetooth connection with car problem.

    I updated my iphone 3GS to IOS5. After the update, the bluetooth (handsfree) connection to my car (Lexus RX350) does not work anymore. I can connect  any other cell phone bluetooth to my car. Only iphone after the IOS5 update is failing. Any suggestions (I reset many times)?

    Some people havent had one problem when updating to iOS4, others have been over run with problems. I myself have lost virtually all sound from my loud speaker so calls, txt messages and ipod are virtually unheard now..
    Went to my local Genius bar in Liverpool today, complete waste of time, the guy restored it like I hadnt already done that a 100 times, then said oh yeah it is qeit not heard of that one before, to get a new one will cost you £139!!
    Yeah right mate, not payin that as its not my fault! did ask him if he ever looks on the Apple forum about faults people are having, and I got a blank look. Told him a thread with tens of thousands people all having the same problem with low sound from the speakers and calls being ended in mid conversation since updating to OS4 seems a bit strange then... another blank look!
    Ive lost all faith with apple as a company now and will not be upgrading to a iPhone 4 anytime soon or any apple product, no one seems interested in helping but quick enough to take your money, thats my opinion anyway..

  • HT4623 hi, i tried updating my iphone IOS with latest update. I download latest update and then went tried to install. It shut down phone & asked me to connect to itunes. i didnt backup, will i lose my data.. havent connected to itune, waiting for suggest

    Hi, i tried updating my iPhone IOS with latest sw update. I download latest update and then tried to install it. This immediately shut down my iPhone & the icon on screen showed iTune logo & data cable. I havent connected to iTunes yet as i want to know how to backup my data on phone before i complete the update process on iTunes. waiting for suggestions. Thanks

    If you are now seeing a screen with the USB cable and an iTunes logo, you'll need to connect your iPhone to a computer with iTunes installed, provided the data on your iPhone hasn't already been lost it should back-up once it's connected in iTunes.

  • IPhone 3GS with iOS 5 and storage space/app problems... Please read and help

    I have an iPhone 3GS with iOS 5. Before the update I had a load of apps etc and was left with approx 4gb space left. Since the update removed ALL my apps from my iPhone, I still have the same ammount of space. Why is this?

    Hi,
    Are you sure your phone has not been unlocked or jailbroken at some time as the same thing happened to me.
    I had the phone secondhand and did not know. Updating to IOS 5 locked the phone back to the original service provider which was AT&T in USA and I am in UK.
    Hope this helps,
    Alan
