Is it possible to shut off multitasking/fast app switching if you want to ?

For ex, I just looked up an address in motion X drive GPS. I'm in my house right now so I don't need it to constantly "be on" right now ... ?

If you don't have a current route set up that you're following, it's not "on", it's in frozen state. What you're wanting to do is remove its frozen state from the memory and CPU. Follow the poster's advice above my post.

Is it possible to shut off 3g on the iphone 4s?

i just got the iphone 4s and i am loving it. but is there a possibility to shut off 3g and use edge instead? i think with 3g the battery dies so quick. before i had iphone 3g and there i was able to change it under general settings, network and then change it to edge. but i saw it's not there anymore and i was wondering if it is somewhere different now or not possible anymore.

3G option was only avaiable in the iPhone 4 and 3GS AT&T becuase of their network. Their network has improved to a 4G which dropped the other (lower then 3G) EV network which was actvated when shutting off 3G (making it 2G). This option for these reasons if not avaiable for the iPhone 4S or for any carrier. BUT you can shut off cellular data which shuts off 3G completly if you do not need it for picture, video messaging or anything that requires internet you can shut it off and still recieve regualr messages and calls. As well as using apps and listening to music. Siri will be shut off too unfortantly.

IOS fast app switching

I'm not sure if this issue is simply an IOS bug or something related to certain programs. That being said, after launching some programs for the first time (after reboot of iPad) and configuring it the way I like, most of the time when relaunching the app it will utilize the fast app switching feature of IOS and retain my customizations/views without having to reload the program in it's entirety. However after a period of time whether it be overnight or a few hours later when I relaunch the app it will completely reload the app - splash screen and all and force me to again customize my views. As often as I use these programs it becomes annoying. I was thinking that perhaps this was a bug in IOS 5.01 however after upgrading to 5.1 the behavior still exists.
I apprecaite any help!

This is likely one of 2 things... Either the developer hasn't coded it properly to work, or you are running up against a RAM wall. How many apps are you running at a time, and how many tabs do you have open in safari?

IPad fast app switcher slow to bring up. What should I do?

When I double tap the home button on my iPad, the fast app switcher is slow to bring up. What should I do to?

Try the following:
1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two and tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo

Can't kill apps using fast app switcher....help!

can't kill app using fast app switcher...help ?

Only a very few specifically designed Apps actually run in the background. Apps such as Music, turn by turn GPS etc. others are suspended when you push the home button or switch to a different App.

Add "Fast App Switching" to AssistiveTouch

Can "Fast App Switching" be added to AssistiveTouch. I have a hard time double-clicking the home button. It would be nice if it was included right next to Home on the menu.

Sorry, when I say "right next to Home", I mean right next to Home on the AssistiveTouch main popup menu.
Thank you

Fast App Switching Support

Hi,
Since iOS 4+, apps now support Fast Switching, that is, when the application is closed it saves its memory contents and goes to background so that when the user taps the application again it resumes in the same state as it was when it was closed.
Adding Fast App Switching Support to existing Cocoa Applications is as simple as recompiling the code for the new SDK. I wonder if there's any way to implement this by using the PFI.

For a long time I assumed it wouldn't work, because when I switched away from my app it always restarted when I switched back. But then later I realized I was calling the application exit function on deactivate. Haven't had time to prove one way or another whether it can work.
I did try messing with shareobjects as a way to reinstate things, but that wasn't too successful.
Anyway, it should be something you can easily test.

IPod Nano shuts off even after hold switch engaged...HELP!

I have a new iPOD Nano. When I run, I engage the hold switch. Even when I do that, over half the time, the iPOD still shuts off on its own after < 1 minute. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.<br>

IPod Touch 8Gb 1st Gen Crashes and shuts off when using apps

When using Safari to browse the web, or using any application other than the music player, my iPod touch crashes and shuts off, often with a loud POP if I have my earbuds in my ears. When attempting to turn it back on, I get the standard Apple bootup logo, but then it crashes again a few seconds later. Sometimes, my ipod displays the battery meter after turning it back on, which indicates that the battery is nearly drained, even if the battery was completely full only minutes later. When using the music player or listening to an audiobook, it seems that my iPod can go all night long without incident, as I have fallen asleep with an audiobook playing, and have woken up the next morning to find it still playing.
I have performed a hard reset by holding both the power and the home button for 20 seconds or so, and have deleted and reloaded everything on my iPod twice, but I am still having problems. Any advice?

Mine does the exact same thing, it will not even turn on without being plugged into the computer (not even a charger). I usually have to restore it by manually sending it into restore mode.

Iphoto 11 - Is is possible to shut off the email templates?

I don't want the templates for email photos. I want to simply press a button, attach the photos and send them. Is there any way to shutoff he templates? This is like Microsoft program with features I don't want and no means to shut them off.

If you don't like the new ways that iPhoto handles emailing then you can access the old way with a small change in how you work:
1. Drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Mail icon in the Dock.
or
2. Use the Photo browser in Mail - or any Media browser in the entire OS

You can then resize the image in the iPhoto Window

Finally, you can make a simple OS Service to to automate the procedure. For more on this have a read of this:

Possible to shut off iCloud SMTP Server on iPhone?

Is it possible to use my own smtp server on my icloud account on my iphone. Really starting to annoy me that I can't figure out how to disable the primary server and use my own. Thanks!

Go to Settings > Mail, Calendars and Contacts > iCloud > Account > Mail > SMTP. There you can add additional SMTP servers and disable the iCloud server. I don't know how well that will work, though, since I haven't actually tried it.

10.9.2 won't complete install, won't restart stops at grey screen, multiple attempts, last overnight, have to shut off my holding power switch, when back on, says computer needs to restart in updates.

I cant get the update to complete, keeps hanging with a grey screen and have to manually restart, completely frozen at this point 3 times now.

Having the same exact problem on my iMac 2010 21.5". Tried countless time and different ways to try installing the update and still ending up with the same result (grey screen with software updater at top and it just stalls out on doing anything). Now my computer with not shutdown or restart without holding the power button.

When I double click Home button, all of my apps don't show in the bar -- only the four that reside there. Did a reset last night to fix the Home button (it sort of works now) but now this. Any ideas on why I can't do the fast app switch now?

When I double click Home button to change apps quickly, only the four apps that reside on the task bar show. All of my apps would show prior to my reset of the iPad last night (to fix the Home button). Any ideas on how to fix?

My undertanding is that when you double-click the home button, the apps that are shown are those that are currently active. The reason you are not seeing all of them is that not all of them are active. Before you can access an app in the multitask bar, it has to be turned on first. As a test, try accessing the Notes application. Return to the home screen by clicking the Home button ONCE. Once the home screen appears, double click the home button to bring up the multitasking bar. The Notes app should be on the far left.

HT204266 iPad just turns off with any app. Why?

My iPad randomly shuts off with any app. Can you tell me why.

Hi Miffysmiffy,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
If your iPad will not charge, and you have verified the issue by using a different cable and adapter, try these steps next:
Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
From:
If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Best Regards,
Jeremy
