HT5858 Closing apps on ipad

I don't know how to close my apps. Before downloading new software I used to double click and scroll on bottom to delete.  Now I see the pages in the middle of the screen and I can't delete them they are so many apps running.

1.Double-click the Home button.
2. Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
3. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.

  • Lock screen closing apps - iOS8/iPad Mini

    Since the iOS8 upgrade my iPad mini closes the open app when it auto locks or when I close the cover. How do I fix this undesirable behaviors?

    Hey there Artisansdjj,
    It sounds like your iPad is minimizing or closing any app that was open before you put it to sleep with the Smart Cover, or the Sleep/Wake button. I would start by quitting all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it. 
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • HT5858 Closing apps on ios7?

    My apps aren't closing when I double click, bring up icons and then tap and hold. They go to site, rather than vibrate and let me close.

    Double tap on the home button, slide the last used state(above the icon) up, tap Home button when finished.

  • Why does my 1st gen. Ipad keep closing apps?

    Why is my ipad 1 closing applications all the time? Is there a solution?

    Closing apps typically indicates that the app is crashing.
    You might try restoring your iPad by plugging it in to iTunes (latest version: 11.0.4).  Let it sync, then choose "Restore ..." from the iPad's summary page in iTunes.
    You may wish to be selective in which apps you restore to the iPad, as one or more may be corrupt.

  • IPad 1 keeps closing apps

    My original ipad which my wife now uses keeps closing apps and returning to the home screen. Internet connection stays

    Have you tried to give the device a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.

  • My iPad continues to crash frequently despite closing app's not being used?

    My iPad continues to crash frequently despite closing app's not being used?

    Have you got a lot of memory that's being taken up or a lot of iCloud services taking place? It might be something to do with the iOS, have you tried a system restore? If you do remember to back up all your files!

  • How did my ipad make a facetime call all by itself while the app was closed and the ipad was in it's case sitting all by itself?

    My ipad made two facetime calls to a number (my son's iphone) that is not listed in my facetime contacts while the app was closed and my ipad was in it's case untouched in my backpack.  How/why did this happen?

    Did you make an facetime call using your iphone?

  • Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

    Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

    You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
    Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

  • How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    How do I know if the safari browser is closed on the iPad?

    This is what I was told:
    Double tap the home key...press and hold the icon...when the minus appears on the icon, tap the minus.
    This will delete the aforementioned icon from the task bar. When the icon disappears, the browser, or any app, is then closed.
    Is that correct?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • Hand gesture for closing apps not working in ios8

    Since updating to ios8 (latest update), the hand gesture for closing apps (3 or 4 fingers) does not work most of the time On my gen 4 iPad. I have to use the 'home' button to close apps and I hate that it now takes two steps to close a web page in Safari.

    its a problem of iOS 8, initially I thought it was because I have an iPad 2 which got ruined by the update, but I then noticed that it appens on the iPad air of my partner to. Moving around with one finger or swiping notification or Center down or the other up restore momentarily the functionality.

  • Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

    Current setup
    - Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
    - iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
    - iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
    I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.  I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues.  I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
    I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday.  Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help.  Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help.  Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help.  I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
    Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way.  When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird?  Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF.  DING, DING, that was it.  Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday.  Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps.  Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
    Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"!  I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc. 
    I hope this helps many of you save several hours.  I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

    Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
    1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
    2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
    3. Restart iTunes
    4. Restart IPad
    5. Connect IPad
    6. Still I got the same error
    7. Restart iTunes
    8. Restart IPad
    9. Connect IPad
    10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
    Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.
    System: IPad 1, IOS 5.x

  • Should I be closing apps after use?

    Hello!
    I haven't been an iPad user for long, but I know the theory that apps I have used are not affecting speed of use of the Pad... Is this true?  Should I ever be consciously closing apps I am not using?
    Thanks.

    All apps are running in the background every time you return to the home screen unless you delete them from the multitasking bar at the bottom. they aren't necessarily 'active', but they still use up power since they still run in the background. the bar at the bottom is actually so that people can switch between open apps easily, which means they are actually all running.

  • Problem in closing apps

    I closed apps on multitasking bars while using another one, but when i swipe these apps are still running. Does anyone have the same problem?

    I have never seen that behavior on my iPads. Why don't you resrt the iPad after you close the apps and see if that makes any difference.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can also try a reboot after you close the apps.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
