Kill QuickTime running in the background from my iphone app?

Is it possible to send a kill or stop or pause quicktime command from within an iphone app? I would like to add a button to kill music playing in the background from streaming radio in safari/quicktime so user does not have to launch safari to stop the background music. Example: if I have a painting app the user can press a button in the app that will stop the music. Thanks.

If you're talking about closing running apps, they changed it up a bit from iOS6. Now you just double click the home button to bring up the running apps, side scroll to the app you want to close, then just swipe up.

  • Calling a VI to run in the background

    Hey, can anyone help me with this:
    I have a vi which is eseentially a sequence (though I do not use a sequence
    primitive). At one point during my sequence, I need to launch another VI
    that goes and does its own thing. Then, the calling VI (the original one)
    has to finish a few steps, while the other VI is doing its own thing. I
    have no experience using the 'VI Control' primitives on the controls
    pallete, so if anyone has experience with this, could you please help me
    out?
    Essentially, I need to run two VI's at once. I know how to do that in terms
    of making each while loop have a 'Wait for Milliseconds' within the loop so
    that the currently executing loop does not hog the processor, I just don't
    know how to launc
    h another VI to run in the background from within a VI.
    The only way that I have done this in the past is to call a VI as a
    subroutine, have it do its task, and then return to the calling VI.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,

    Wes,
    Apart from calling a VI as a sub-vi you can use VI Server to call another VI. The VI you are calling can be on the same machine or could be called remotely from another machine.
    There are a few examples on using VI Server you may find helpful. If you go to the Resource Library in NI Developer Zone http://zone.ni.com/libraries/ and then go to LabVIEW-Connectvity-VI Server you should find quite a few examples.
    One that is pretty simple and useful is titled - Programmatically Opening and Running One VI from Another Using VI Server
    In the diagram of the This.vi you'll see that there is an invoke node that is calling a Run VI method, the parameter for the method is Wait Until Done. By setting this to true you can ensure that the VI you are calling completes executi
    on before the next VI (with flow being controlled through the error cluster) executes. If you set it to false the VI will go off and run and you can continue doing things independently.
    Do be careful in case you are getting into situations where you might be calling the same VI again before the previous call has completed. If that is a possibility mark the VI as re-entrant, this is wether you're using VI server or just calling the same sub-vi multiple times in another VI. If you don't set the VI up to be re-entrant you run the risk of the same data space being used for different calls.

  • If Safari or internet apps are running in the "background..."

    Are they still going using data? I'm a new member on a 2GB a month plan. Most of the time I'm on wifi, but not always. I've been being careful to turn them off if I'm not on wifi, but how careful do I have to be? I don't really know much about this.
    Btw, what is a quick way to turn my apps off? The double click method on the circle and then hold a button until the minus button comes up and turn them off that way or is there a quicker way?

    Very few apps run in the background - mainly music playing apps and GPS apps.  Double-clicking the Home button gives you a list of previously used apps, not (as so many people believe) "running" apps.  You can delete the apps from the list if you wish, but it will make no difference to energy usage (unless they actually are running, as in the categories above. You should know if you are using GPS or if you can hear music).

  • Is there a way to keep apps from running in the background?

    I just updated to an Iphone 6, with the latest version of IOS.  It's a great product, but for me there is one annoyance.  There are times when my memory gets low.  I find out that it's the apps that are running in the background.  I personally don't use this.  All it does is hog memory.  Then, to close the apps, you have to close each one individually.  I forgot how many apps I have open, I'm of the mindset that when I close the app, that it's "really" closed, not still running in the background.  It would be nice if there was a way to disable this function.  It doesn't seem to serve a purpose for me in the way I use the Iphone.  I just "cleaned up my list of "behind the scenes apps" and I had about 20.  It gets frustrating to have to go to each one to close it.  Any comments or suggestions?

    Some things that might help:
    1. Only the most recently used apps actually occupy memory (used to be the most recent 4, but may have changed in the latest iPhones). After 4 (or so), IOS writes them out of active memory, as it does for even the latest 4 if there's no activity for a long time. So the business of closing all the open apps, apart from the most recent ones doesn't make a difference. Tis article has a good explanation:
    http://www.speirs.org/blog/2012/1/2/misconceptions-about-ios-multitasking.html
    2. There are settings about background app activity that might help:
    - Settings, General, Background App Refresh controls which apps can update their data in the background
    - Settings, Notifications controls which apps can tell you things, which they have to wake up to do.
    - Settings, Privacy, Location Services controls which apps monitor your location - another activity that uses resources
    Hope some of that helps

    Ummm....Oracle Forms is a foreground runtime kind of thing. What you want is a database procedure (or an OS utility - it depends on what sort of processing you want to do in the background).

  • Adproxy.exe running in the background KILL IT!

    When my computer is running terribly slow and I pull up the task manager. The lovely ADPROXY.EXE is taking up all my CPU. And I don't even have lightroom opened. I end up having to kill the process which I know is bad. This is a REAL pain. How can I disable this feature so it stops running in the background till I want it. I have already disabled the adobe photo downloader but it doesn't seem to stop it. I can import my own pictures when I want to. I don't need an automation to do it. Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

    Go to Start>Run>Type in Msconfig, hit OK. When dialog box opens click on start tab and uncheck adproxy. Then do a re-start. When box on screen opens up check don't show this box on startup.
    There's possibly a lot of stuff in the startup box that you can uncheck that you don't need running all the time. That helps PC operations greatly.

  • How do I stop programs from running in the background?

    How do I stop programs from running in the background?  In the old system you could delete them.

    Most of those apps aren't running in the background, but what you are asking is how to close the apps.
    To close an app in iOS 7, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.

    Double tap the home button.  Slide the preview window upward.  You can do 2 at a time.
    It's rarely useful or necessary to do this. Very few apps actually "run in the background" (such as audio streaming and navigation apps).  The vast majority are frozen and consume no resources.  The iOS manages memory for you to optimize running apps.
