Once I multitask, the app closes! HELP :(

This has been going on for quiet a bit of time.
Whenever I open an app, facebook for example, it would work fine. Then when I switch to something else or the home menu, the app closes. How do I know? Because when I go to switch back to the app it's reopenning. It happens with most social networking apps, such as Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Whats App, and Skype.
Here's some proof;
I open up my facebook on my phone, and as usual, I have a green dot next to me on a friends chat that shows that I'm online:
And now when I go back to the home menu, the app should still be running, and it should show a mobile icon next to my name that says I'm avalible on mobile. Instead, it just says I went totally offline! So the app just closed on its own...

Mulititasking on an iOS device is more like a pause feature that allows you to switch apps quickly and pickup where you left off. Most app don't actually stay running. Here's how Apple describes it from their support page on the subjuct.
"Double-clicking the Home button displays a list of recently used apps. These apps are not necessarily actively in use, open, or taking up system resources. They will instantly launch when you return to them. Certain tasks or services can continue to run in the background."

Hope that helps clear things up.

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

    Yes, you should get an email if somebody replies to a thread you started or one to which you posted. I did; that's how I knew you had replied. Check up at the top of the right column of this thread. In the "Actions" box you should find "Stop email notifications" if you are subscribed to this thread.
    One step you didn't list among HP's suggestions is a compound action: delete the app, reset the iPad (by holding down the home and start buttons together for ten seconds), then reinstall the app and test it. If it still falls over, I would say the HP app has not kept up with iOS changes and needs updating -- OR your iPad has developed some persistent internal corruption in its photo storage that only the HP app trips over (in which case, the app still needs updating, but it's going to be much harder for HP to determine how).

  • I have an 8500a how, once I select the apps I want and add to the printer. How do i get them to wor

    I have an 8500a how, once I select the apps I want and add to the printer.  How do i get them to work? And is it always this slow....

    Hey jmknights!
    While I can't speak to how quickly the apps will work, I may be able to help you with how they work. Once you have the apps added to the printer you would select the app you want to print from on the printer's front panel. Once inside the app, select what you want to print and if all goes as it should, the printer should begin printing the requested information within a few seconds.
    Hope this helps!

  • I can't delete an entry on my phone calls. The app closes

    After updating to IOS 7.1, I can't delete an entry on my phone calls. The app closes, and after reopening, the deleted phone call still there.
    I already reintal IOS and made the restore, but no success
    Anybody can help on that ?

    OK, everyone, I did it at last!
    Did it the old fashioned way, which is how most of you told me to do it anyway, and it finally worked. I don't understand why it's not been working, but hey ho!
    Thank you for all your help.
    Photos>select album>revert>apply. Simples but didn't want to work this morning.
    THANKS!

  • Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

    Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open,  now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar 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 that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I am running LR 4.4 on a iMac with OS X (Yosemite).  Everything works in the develop module but when i get to the print module, clicl on print and the apple print dialogue box opens, and I click onn print there, the app closes.  It has now happened about a dozen times.  I have downloaded LR 4.4 from the internet but the problem continues.

    Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

  • When i try to add a photo to facebook, twitter or imessage the app closes. what can i do?? please help me!! :(

    please help me i can't add any photo.

    Go to settings\General\About\Diagnostics and Usage\Diagnostics  and Usage Data- scroll down the logs  to the bottom of the list and check if you are getting many low Memory logs being generated.  Also look for Sprinboard Logs which report crashes.  A high number will indicate problems.
    When a crach occurs next time, go to your home screen (probably will already be there if an App has crashed) and double Tap your home button to reveal the Apps in background bar.  Hold your finger on one till it wiggles then tap the '-' icon in the corner of any Apps you are not using to close them down.
    Try uploading/downloading your photos again.
    if the problem persists you may need to either do a reset or a restore.  Come back for details if your problem persists.

  • I can't download apps! Every time I try, it asks me to chose a security question and I try, but I just comes up with a blank screen and I can't choose a question. If I click no, I don't want to put security questions, it doesn't install the app. HELP!

    I can't do it! I am willing to add questions but I can't because it just shows me a blank screen. I even tried rebooting my entire iPad2 and that didn't work. I know it is not a certain app because I tried multiple ones.... HELP!

    Hi all! I have found the answer in another forum and this has 100% worked for me!!!
    1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
    •From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
    •Tap and hold on the app.
    •When it starts to jiggle, tap the red  ⛔ in the top corner to close it;
    ***Please close all open apps on your phone***
    2) Tap Settings.
    3) Tap Safari.
    4) Tap Clear History.
    5) Tap the Clear History button.
    6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
    7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button

    I hope this helps a lot of people!! Spread the word (seeing as apple doesn't seem to want to/care!)

  • My ipod opens apps but the apps closes by themselves

    My ipod touch doesn't have the apps open by a good time , when i open one it closes by itself and my ipod doesnt have a month since i bought it so please help me resolving my problem i can't even browse things in safari

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    If the Restore doesn't help, call Apple.  Your device is only a month old and you shouldn't have to jump through hoops.
