Mysterious Open Apps
In Lion:
The Dock showed no open apps.
Command-tab showed only the Finder.
Force-quit menu, however, listed both Preview and TextEdit as open and not hung up (not red).
I had to force-quit them from there.
Bug? Anyone seen this before?
Lion has reworked the running process approach that John Siracusa discusses in his extensive review of MacOS X 10.7 Lion at Ars Technica ( http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2011/07/mac-os-x-10-7.ars/8 ). On this particular page of his review, he discusses this new process. In short, Lion will reclaim processes that haven't run in a while to preserve system resources for further use. Since Lion remembers the state of running apps, they needn't be left in system memory consuming resources when they've haven't been used in a while, and Lion will terminate the app. If the Dock running app light feature is activated, and Lion terminates the app, the light will disappear. Clicking on the Dock's app, will immediately restart the app and return you to its last state prior to termination.
For those who are really interested in this OS detail, I highly recommend taking a look at the complete Ars Technica review. It took me a couple of sessions to complete, and I admit my eyes glazed over a couple of times, but it addresses many of these seemingly new "bugs" that are actually new "features."

How to clear open apps from Iphone after newest update
How do you close open apps after this newest update.
Thank You.....
Why they (apple) decided to change the way to close open apps WITHOUT letting us "other" users know (non iPhone 5 users, lol) is a mystery, but your information is correct. Thank you for saving my minutes -
My itouch wont let me open apps
it will let me open apps that are on it automatically but not apps that i got off the app store
- Next try a reset. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated. -
My app store is not working after installing mavericks. When I open app store it repeatedly asking me to login with apple ID and to provide User name and Password for proxy authentication in a loop.I am a newbie to mac,Please help me.
Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.

I wanna know what do i do to close open apps such as chat,watsapp..bucz i thought not being them means thewre closed. Buh wen i wanted to go on my mail it said to much opened apps, then it showed me all that was open an choose one. So i wanna know how do i close them...i still have alot that opened but im not using them...plz help thank u !
It would be helpful to let us know your phones model. In the meantime, to close applications on an N8 running Anna you simply long press on the menu button to open the task manager and tap on the cross on the top right of the app you want to close or long press in one of the windows and tap close all to shut down all running apps.

I can't open apps on my iPhone. The touch screen doesn't work. I have restored it already but it still won't work. What can I do.
If the touch screen is not having any response then you probably have a hardware failure. Take your phone to an Apple Store or authorised service provider to have it checked.

By default, on a mac keyboard F3 lets you see all the open apps and the such. However, I changed it so that I use those keys for keyboard shortcuts; But i'd like the normal F3 key to still work without me having to press FN.
rajlego,
in the Keyboard pane of System Preferences, select the Shortcuts tab, and then select Mission Control on the left-hand side. On the right-hand side, make sure that the Mission Control checkbox is checked, double-click on its current key combination (by default “^↑”) so that the key combination is highlighted, and then press the F3 button — that will set its shortcut to be F3. You can now press F3 to bring up Mission Control without needing to also press the Fn button. -
My iPad won't open apps without crashing
Hi,
My iPad mini (1st gen) keeps crashing as soon as I open apps. I've tried resetting and turning on and off but this doesn't do anything. I'm trying to restore but iTunes say I can't because "Find my iPad" is turned on and tells me to turn it off in the iCloud settings on my iPad but obviously I cannot do this as the Settings app crashes when I try to open it. I am on the latest operating system (iOS 8.3)You should be able to do a reboot, hold both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, then release the buttons and let the mini complete its startup routine.
If that does not help, you can login to your iCloud account from a computer or another device that has the Find My Phone app installed, go to Find My Phone, and remove the iPad Mini from the devices list. That will free it so you can to deeper reset. -

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.
Memory in the MacBook Air is not upgradable. If that's what you have, you should restore the previous system from a backup, or replace the machine. Ask if you need guidance.
The Etrecheck report clearly shows that SylvieRose has a Macbook Pro, not a Macbook Air and that there are only 2 GB RAM installed. The Etrecheck report can be very informative if one takes the time to examine it.
