Should I be closing apps after use?

Hello!
I haven't been an iPad user for long, but I know the theory that apps I have used are not affecting speed of use of the Pad... Is this true?  Should I ever be consciously closing apps I am not using?
Thanks.

All apps are running in the background every time you return to the home screen unless you delete them from the multitasking bar at the bottom. they aren't necessarily 'active', but they still use up power since they still run in the background. the bar at the bottom is actually so that people can switch between open apps easily, which means they are actually all running.

  • Extremely poor sound quality on all apps after using Real Player!

    Hi there
    On my Leopard iMac (Core2Duo) I am experiencing extremely poor 'lo-fi-like' quality on all audio from all applications including iTunes, Quicktime and Safari as a result of using Real Player to play a file online.
    I very rarely use Real Player and this was the first time I'd used it in months to even a year. The file was a simple RAM file from a store website allowing me to listen to a sample of a music file. When played, the quality was low but I expected this from a music sample, and from Real Player. However, after closing Real Player, I noticed the sound quality had dramatically dropped to an almost un-listenable quality.
    I have restarted and uninstalled Real Player with no luck. The poor sound quality still comes through my internal speakers, as well as external speakers, so it seems like a software issue.
    Not sure what to do, please can anyone help as the audio is used all day every day on this iMac!
    Thank you

    Just tried it as I did get iLife with my Mac. GarageBand froze for the first few times I loaded it up, then I managed to get it to work. Played with the on-screen keyboard which produced perfect sound.
    Closed GarageBand, restarted iTunes, tested, working perfectly! Crystal clear sound back again!
    Thanks so much for that, really appreciated!

  • How do I delete an app after using "Add to Home Screen"?

    I used the "Add to Home Screen" option from Safari. Then it added the app on my home screen. How do I delete it? It does not have an 'X' symbol when I make my icons wiggle. So, does anybody know how to actually delete this app from my iPhone?
    I've heard about dragging it to the tenth page...BUT, I am not interested in leaving it on my phone taking up space. I want it off. I was just testing out its functionality.
    Thanks

    If you plug in your device to the computer, the iTunes page will appear.  Click onto your device on the lefthand side, then select "Apps" at the top of the ensuing page.  You will see all your applications you have on the device.  Right click onto the app you wish to delete, and follow the directions.  That should remove it from your device.
    Hope it works.

  • Windows 8.1 can not access apps after using Disk Clean-up

    All was working well until I did a Disk Clean-up, now no apps from the Metro Start screen will load I just get a transparent icon holder on the Taskbar. I have tried uninstall the app which was Calendar I was allowed to uninstall but when I tried to re-install
    I just get error 0x80070005, after check lots of forums and Microsoft technet articles and all seem to point Windows Store being damaged or corrupted, I have run all the fixes but note work, when I run AppsDiagnostic.diagcab I just get [Service Registration
    is missing or corrupt] [Windows Store cache may be damaged] [Windows Store configuration may be damaged] I have now run out of what to try next. Can anyone help before I lose all my hair.

    Hi Rick,
    First of all, please run  "dism/online/cleanup-image/restorehealth"to check the health of the system files. Then take the following steps to have a check.
    1. We can run  “wsreset.exe” to reset the cache of Windows Store as S.Sengupta suggested to have a check .
    2. If the issue persists ,try this way to re-register the Windows Store to recover the entry of Windows Store :
    Right click on the “Start screen” , choose “Command prompt(Admin)”and in-put :
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML
    3. If the issue persists ,kill Store and Store Broker from task manager . Rename the Cache folder to CacheOld at. C:\Users/(Your User Account)\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\LocaalState.
    Rename folder called Cache into CacheOld, Create an empty folder with name Cache. That’s all. If you want to revert changes just delete Cache and Rename  CacheOld into Cache.
    " 0x80070005" means access denied .Considering the store app is downloaded from the windows update .Please refer to the following link to gain the permissios of the registry keys to have a check.

  • Creating closed paths after using Live Trace.

    Hi, I am rather new in this, so forgive me if my question doesn't make any sense at all;
    When I trace raster images, Adobe Illustrator (CS3) gives me lots of anchor points along the outlines of the image. That's great for use with Live Paint & Live Color.
    Is there also a way to automaticly create closed paths/objects from this?
    Some kind of tool that seperates one color from another by closing those same paths.
    Basicly in a way where I can select one of the many colors within my traced picture, such as the green of a leaf, and have an actual closed path going around that same leaf. ..And then the sky would be a seperated object, and the pink flowers, and the yellow inside the flowers, and so on.
    Thanks, Linda

    If I understand your question correctly, you could probably accomplish it this way:
    1. Ungroup the trace.
    2. Select the "leaf" shape. If it consists of many shades of green, you'll have to use the Direct Selection tool, or perhaps the Lasso, or the Group Selection tool.
    3. Copy. This will stay in your clipboard, so don't copy anything else until
    4. Pathfinder>Add on the selected leaf shapes. Hold down Option to expand while adding.
    5. Now you have a solid shape that you can add a stroke to. If you make the stoke wide, or align it to the outside, it'll show around the leaf
    6. Paste in Front (Cmd-F). This will paste the original leaf shapes you copied, right on top of the solid shape you just made.

  • Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?

    Can you create apps after 1st May 2015 using Adobe DPS single edition?
    I currently have SE via creatieve cloud - one of the only reasons we switched to CC was for the DPS SE.
    Does anyone know if this capability will just be 'switched off' at midnight 1st May 2015?? There are huge costs for going the enterprise route but with no date in sight for Publish to be launched I am not sure I can wait for this, or should I???

    Adobe states: Please note that the Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition, service will be available for use until May 1, 2015, but beyond that date the service will no longer be available.
    So essentially my licence will expire on 1st May - Adobe's note just mentions 'service' -  even though part of CC and I will not be able to maintain my app or create any more IPA's after 1st May. I can't beleive there is nothing to switch over to other than paying thousands of pounds for enterprise??
    Just all so vauge, feels like a plug is going to be pulled and thats it??? Maybe I am missing something?

  • Mail.app will not reopen after closing app

    I am using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.5.8 and Mail.app 3.6 (936). I have all current updates installed. My problem is that I will be using mail.app (configured as an IMAP account) all day and close the application without any issues, but if I reopen the application without fist restarting the computer Mail hangs and will not relaunch. This issue happens without fail. There are only two resolves that will allow me to relaunch mail.app: restart the computer or relaunch the Finder.
    What can I do to resolve this issue?
    Thanks,
    Thom

    Anyone one have any thoughts on this? The inability to relaunch Mail.app after closing (without relaunching the Finder or restarting the computer) happens every time without fail. All other applications work without incident.
    Thanks,

    After closing Firefox to use IE8 or any other program (like InterVideo to watch a DVD), everything is very choppy and slow. I have to go into Taskbar, Processes, and close firefox.exe manually (which is using up all the memory/CPU and should have closed before). Then, and only then, does everything behave normally. What is going on and what am I doing wrong or missing??
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == about a couple months ago and happens every time I close Firefox.

    In Task Manager, does firefox.exe show in the <u>'''Processes'''</u> tab?

    '''[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]'''
    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

    Thanks Jakob. You are correct.
    I just finished another "experiment".
    I transcode the whole clip 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 to another ext Western Digital HDD and got the Error -50 too. Problem is this ext Western Digital HDD is Daisy chained to the LaCIe.
    So, I tried transcoding to another ext Western Digital HDD connected to my router. And this time NO PROBLEM.
    So, I should readjust the FW800 connectors.
    What do you mean by the controller of the Firewire ?
    Thanks
    Jakob Peterhänsel wrote:
    All I'm saying is, the error -50 from the Finder normally means there is something spooky going on.
    Here, the LaCie drives become unstable. In the few cases where I'v actually opened the cage and put the HDD into another mount, the HDD seems to be fine, so I suspect it's either the FW connectors of the controller itself.
    If the drive is under warranty, replace it, otherwise, move your data to another drive if it startes to do so frequently.
    Here, the drive will 'behave' normally for some time after a reboot of the OS, but it's a pain to reboot every X hours...

  • Windows 8.1 Spring Update Closing App takes user to Start Screen not the previously used App

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 Spring Update on my surface Pro 2 and notice that when I close out apps it goes to the start screen instead of the previously used app as MS suggest it should.
    I am using the same media to install on a laptop and it works as expected, the surface pro 2 does not. 
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. 
    Boots to Start Screen -
    Works
    Closing App takes user to the previously used App.
    Does not work
    Pictures, Music and Video files open with Modern App -
    Works.

    You won't see the power button on the Start Screen on any tablet that uses Connected Standby (aka InstantGo) - it's by Microsoft's design. So you will be running Update 1 if you are being told that all updates are installed.

  • Several Apps seem to just mysteriously shut down after using for a while. Same with Safari, I will be using Safari and it shuts down. Face book too. I've reset and shut down my iPad 3 and restart it, but it stills shuts down. What to do?

    Several Apps seem to mysteriously shut down after using them for a while. Face Book shuts down , netflix, Safari, and other Apps. They work fine for a short while, or a long while, and then shut down and it brings me to my regular desktop screen. I've tried restarting by completely shutting down the IPad until I see the apple pic and turned it back on, but the shutdowns of apps continue. Anyone else have this issue? It generally started shortly after downloading and installing IOS 7......

    Hi jennyoutwest,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The following articles will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    Back up your device.
    Transfer and sync content to your computer.
