I am curious to know about why not to close apps running in the background

I just spoke to a sales guy in the apple store and he said that closing an app by double clicking the home button and force closing it is a bad idea, does anyone have any knowledge of what the reason behind this is?

Apple says to close them so it can't be bad

  • With IOS7, how do you turn off the apps running in the background?  I know how to pull them up with the double tap but how to shut them down so one doesn't have too many running?

    With IOS 7, how do you tunr off apps running in background?  I know to double click to bring up the apps running in the multitask function but not how to turn them off.  I know if too many apps are running, it is a mess.  Help.  Could not find in instructions anywhere.

    First, Double Tap the home button.  Then after that slide up the pictures of apps then there closed.

  • Do anyone know about recovering notes that I accidentally deleted from my iPad during sync process? Thanks

    Do anyone know about recovering notes that I accidentally deleted from my iPad during sync process? Thanks.

    If you are using iCloud you can check to see if they are still available remotely by logging onto iCloud.com on a desktop/laptop computer, or 3rd party app like Private Browser or Photon.
    If your not using iCloud, or they were also removed from there, you can restore from your last backup (iTunes or iCloud). Unfortunately, this will only recover notes created prior to backing up your iPad. Hope this helps!

  • Why not to create a pause in the video camera?

    Mr/Mrs
       During recording a video, When we want to stop recording for a while and then continue, we have to record a new video again but we cannot do pause because there is no a pause function. So my suggestions is "Why not to create a pause in the video camera?"
       Sincerely i ask you look into my this suggestion please. It would be great if you create this function into the new version of iOS.
    By the way if you will have news about it please inform to me. [email protected]
    Sincerely your best Apple user Ilkhom
    Thanks

    How do I show applications running in the background? And how do I close them down? In class, the instructor press something but she did not go into Settings. Does anyone know?

    Double-click the home button that will bring up all the applications in the background.
    To close then you swipe the application upward and it will close.

  • I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.

    I lost all my unpinned 30 tabs and could not restore it, when Adobe update opened a link by firefox, which was not running in the background.
    I guess what I have experienced might be a special case of 'Restore previous sessions'. The actual situation was that after I rebooted my laptop, Adobe update jumped out indicating an update being finished successfully. After I clicked on the 'close' button of the Adobe window, it automatically started firefox and linked to its website. But I did not find the 'Restore previous sessions' page this time. Then I restarted firefox, this time there was a start page with 'Restore previous sessions'. However, sadly enough, it is only restored my pinned pages plus the Adobe website. Actually, I am using 'bookmark all tabs' from time to time to secure opened tabs, but this time I did not expect such an incident. I would suggest to improve the 'Restore previous sessions' with multiple time tags and appear in all cases including my reported case here, after updating firefox, crashes etc. I like firefox in most occasions, therefore believe and hope it becomes better and more robust. Thank you very much!

    Hi,
    Please see the following support request: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=2628065
    I think the best option would be to leave feedback here to let the relevant development team know about the problem you have had: https://input.mozilla.org/en-GB/feedback
    Also you could try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager] add-on which gives more control over how sessions are restored.
    I hope that helps

  • Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.

    Why does my iMac display keep shutting off?  Computer still running in the background.  I've tried unplugging and restarting, to no avail.    The computer is well out of warranty - about 7-8 years old, running 10.6.8

    Checked.... the settings had not been inadvertently changed, but I did move the scroll and reset them back to the original.   Hasn't shut off again.... yet.   Will re-post with follow-up one way or the other.   Thanks.

  • Some events are not dispatched when app runs in background

    My Android app has a TIMER event which fires once every second to connect a TCP socket (class flash.net.Socket) and send a request.
    A packet sniffer confirms that a socket is in fact connecting, request is sent, reply comes back and connection is closed, all happening once per second.
    Clearly, even with the app in the background, the TIMER event is occurring every second, because the timer handler is initating every socket.
    But not every closing connection causes a CLOSE event to dispatch, because my close handler is called less frequently.  Sometimes once in 3 seconds, 8 seconds or even longer.
    The CLOSE dispatches correctly once per second when the app is in the foreground.
    Why are CLOSE events being missed when the app is in the background?  What is the difference between a TIMER event and a CLOSE event, causing one to dispatch correctly but not the other?
    Thanks.

    I've narrowed my problem down by chopping pieces of code until it works, and I think I have it narrowed down to the code that uses FlexGraphing but need to check a bit more...
    It's odd that it works in Flex3 builder though, and there are no errors when I run in as AIR. In fact, the app RUNS, since it is in the task manager, but it won't appear.

  • HT3180 Ok, I got the Apple TV all hooked up. Im pretty handy and have a lot of experience putting electronics together, but this one has got me. I can not seem to get it to connect to my iTunes. Probably something running in the background.

    How do I uninstall a program that is running in the background but does not show in Force Quit?

    Open Activity Monitor and look for the program.  Select it and Quit or Force quit it from within Acitiviy Monitor.
    Search for the application with Find Any File as it can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages.  You can drag the app and any associated files from the search result window to the Trash bin in the Dock.
