You can see which apps are open and/or recently used by double-clicking the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen (not all apps that appear there are active) - you can then close apps on it by pressing and holding one of them for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar. If you have an app 'open' on-screen then it won't appear on the taskbar, you will need to go back to the homescreen first, and it should then show when you next open the taskbar.
If you haven't already got a copy then you can download the iPad manual from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • How can I know what apps are running in the background of Q10

    My battery is not lasting more than 12 hours even though I'm moderately using it. How can I tell which applications are running in the background?

    As of now, the BB10 does not allow any apps to run in the background unless they are baked in the OS or in the active frames. So if an app is not in a active frame, no app is running in the background. try maximizing your battery by switching to wif whenever you have a wifi network.

  • How can I see what apps are running on my iphone 5?

    Is there an app that will show me the apps running and also allow me to close apps that don't need to be running?

    Double tap the Home button, this brings up the Multi-Tasking bar. Any app running in the backgroud will be listed. Tap & hold any app until they all start to wiggle. Tap the red minus sign to remove the app from the Multi-Tasking bar.
    Note: very few apps are actually running in the background...they must be designed to do so. Almost all apps listed will not be running, but rather in their last used state.

  • How can I deternmine what apps are running on my Mac Book Pro

    Hoe can I determine what applications I have open and running on my Mac Book Pro

    1. Use Activity Monitor (it's in the Utilities folder, which is in Applications, or just type Shift-⌘-U in Finder)
    2. Show the Dock and look for the "indicator lights".
    If they are not there then go to System Preferences > Dock and select "show indicator lights for open applications"

  • How can I see what apps are running on a non-startup disk

    I recently changed over to a larger drive from my older startup drive. I want to erase that original drive and clean it up. When I go to Disk Utility and erase it says "erase failed, could not unmount disk". I try to eject it and it says "HD is in use".
    I figure I just need to see what's running on that drive and stop it somehow, or if there is another workaround?

    If you're willing to use a command in Terminal, try this, where "old_disk" is the name of the old disk. (If the name of the old disk contains any spaces, prefix each space with a back-slash.) It will show you each file on the old disk that's open.
    sudo lsof | grep /Volumes/old_disk
    Spaces doubled for readability. The character just before "sof" is a lower-case letter "L". You'll be prompted for your administrative account's password.

  • How do i see what applications are running in the background

    My iMac is running very slow my operating system is OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2 with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 Processor. How do I see what applications are running in the background?

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Alternatively, see:
    Reinstall OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Choose the version you have installed now:
    OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can you retrieve what OS your running in Java

    I am trying to write some logic based on the OS I am on. Is there a way Java enables you to find our what OS you are running. Some kind of method?
    Thanks

    Check out the class java.lang.System and look at the javadoc for its method getProperties().
    Properties sysProps = System.getProperties();
    Enumeration sysPropsKeys = sysProps.propertyNames();
    while (sysPropsKeys.hasMoreElements())
    String key = (String) sysPropsKeys.nextElement();
    System.out.println(key + ": " + (String) sysProps.getProperty(key));

  • How can I determine which jobs are running on NT?

    Hello,
    How do I determine which processes are in execution on an NT box from a JAVA
    application? I figure it must involve runtime exec'ing some run32dll
    program, but which one?
    TIA

    Search microsoft.com, or MSDN. That isn't anything to do with Java Programming.

  • Not being able to move some music files over to the card

    Ive been downloading like crazy. I have havent had any problems downloading any music files or even dvd files. I have run into one problem tho, my old Beatle cd's. They won't transfer for on my card. I can see them when I open the TCPMP player but there's no songs and I do see them loading to move them on the card but they won't go? Any answer's?
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    What format are these files in? You need to have the appropriate player with appropriate codecs installed.
    If you ripped the CDs on a Windows computer and did not pay careful attention, Windows Media Center defaults to WMA. PocketTunes Deluxe plays WMA. The TX comes with a variant of PocketTunes standard.

  • How can you see what computers are authorized with my account?

    Good afternoon. I installed iTunes on my desktop computer at home because I began creating a music library. My first original install was on my laptop and then I decided to add iTunes to my desktop. When I authorized iTunes on my desktop it said it was the third computer that is authorized to play content purchased with this Apple ID.
    How do I find out where else I have authorized iTunes? Is there a way in which a person can find out? Does my iTouch count as one?
    If I rest the computers authorization will it delete my music library if I did that? I know you can only do it once a year. I am afraid someone else will use my account.
    Thank You

    In order to see which devices are authorized on your account:
    Open iTunes
    Click Store
    Click Account
    Click View Account
    Enter your password
    Look in the second section iTunes in the Cloud
    To the far right you'll see Manage Devices
    Once it's clicked you will see all of the devices currently authorized in iTunes/on your account
    I was going to say, "Hope this helps," but based on the above, I'm pretty sure it did!
    Thanks guys...
