Is there a way of quitting an app only by pressing on the red button?

Hello.
I'm a new Mac user (my MacBook Air bought on April, 17th).
I was wondering, is there a way of quitting an app by pressing on the red button only, without pressing on the app name on the menu bar and and then on "Quit X"?
If it's possible, I will be glad to here the way.
Idanref.

No. The red x closes the window but not the application. An exception is when an app can only have 1 window open. (Like system preferences). A quick way to close the app is to press CMD Q on the keyboard.

Is there a way to open login apps in separate desktops without the screen switching between them?

When I login, I open several apps on desktop 1, and several apps on desktop 2. However, the Mac switches to Desktop 2 a few seconds after I login, as the applications open there. Is there a way to prevent the screen from moving during login?

Strange, it's working fine now. Nevermind.

Is there a way to exit a window without having to click the red x button?

I'm always looking for shortcuts and was wondering if for the MacBooks there was a way to exit out of a window without actually having to click the red x. For example, on a PC, I would click Alt+F4.

Is there any way to record other apps in garageband? Like the animoog or ms20?

This is so important to utilize the sounds from my other apps. I need to connect audio from other apps to route into garageband as if they were plug ins that can be read as a garageband track. It would be even better if you could sync garageband midi to control these other apps. That would make ipad a complete production tool. It seems the ipad is powerful enough to run 2 apps at the same time.. So when will this be possible?

Not a question anyone here would be in a postion to answer.Nor is it clear Apple is all that interested in making the iPad "a complete prodcution tool". Difficult to say. You can offer Apple feedback here:

Is there a way to view/delete apps that won't fit on the 11 screens?

I have more apps than fit on the 11 available screens - is there a way to view/delete apps that aren't on the 11 screens? I know I can launch them from the search facility, but that doesn't give me a comprehensive list or the ability to remove?

You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

Is there a way to "Quit" all running apps in dock at the same time verses right-clicking each one individually?

IIRC, OPTION-click on the Apple icon on the menu bar and select either Restart or Shutdown. Alternatively,
Control-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then restart the computer
Control Option-Command-Eject
Quit all applications (after giving you a chance to save changes to open documents), then shut down the computer

Is there a way to remove an app from the list of previously installed apps?

The list that comes up when you click on the Purchased icon when updating apps.
The list is becoming quite large after I installed and tried out a few apps.

nvm. I found it.

HT5137 Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

Does closing apps save battery life? If so, is there a way to close all apps at once?

There is no way to close all apps at once. When you leave an app , most apps stop working immediately. A few apps will continue to complete the task they were working on. Mail is an example of that. There is a short time limit though after which the app stops running and the state you left it in is stored. Quitting apps does not increase battery life.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

None that you can do yourself, and probably none at all; if desired, click here and ask.

Too much scrolling in new Market section. Now I seem limited on window size.

I am guessing No must be the answer.

Is there a way to keep selected apps that you have on your admin account inaccessible and unseen from another admin account on the same Mac?

My sister and I share computers, but it's really her Mac because she got it for her birthday. I'm using it because there is no other place to hold my iTunes library, documents, photos, etc.
She complains that I make the computer too slow after I downloaded/installed too many apps from the Mac App Store using my admin account and my iTunes account. However, they show up on her account as well, and she doesn't want to see them or have her computer slow down, so she deletes them. Is there a way to make certain apps unseen and inaccessible from other admin users on the same machine?

Only by storing them on an encrypted disk image. Anyone who has an administrator password to a Mac can use it to access all unencrypted data on the system.

Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon?

Is there a way to delete an app when you can't see the app's icon? I have so many apps that they don't all show up on the existing screens. I know it can be done by connecting to a computer and using iTunes, but I'm on the road away from my Mac.

I tried that and instead of showing me the inaccessible screens, it just shortens the number of available screens. Then if I reset the home screen in preferences it removes the folders I created and I'm back to square one.

Today I deleted an email services I no longer need. Now when I go to the notes app I no longer have any notes. Is there any way to get my notes back. I have the first iPad running iOS 5.1.1

Ah, well, then the notes are probably gone. Did you save any of the email from that account on your computer? The notes might be there if you did.
