Shutting down apps since IOS 7 on iPad 2

Prior to IOS 7, I was able to shut down "behind the scene" apps that were running. I would do that to enable what I was currently using run smoother. Now, I don't see where you can do that. When I try to do this as before, the screens come up, but no way to shut them down. Would appreciate any help to solve this.
Thank you.

You still double-click the home button to open the multitasking bar, but you now swipe / drag the app screens up from there and off the top of the screen :

  • HT4211 In the new iPad update how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    Now that I downloaded the new iPad update, how do I shut down apps running in the background to preserve battery life?

    in iOS 7, double click the Home Button (the round one on the front).
    You will see icons for all open apps with a 'screenshot' above each icon. Simply drag any 'screenshot' upwards using 1 finger to close the app.
    Most apps don't use much power when inactive but some do including Sat Nav apps

  • My iPad shuts down apps after a few seconds.

    Since a few days my iPad shuts down apps after a few seconds, while I am active with them. It happens with games as well as Safari and while I am reading eMagazines. What can I do? I am using the old iPad.

    Try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app '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 each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To 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.

  • My iPad randomly shuts downs apps and safari...any suggestions? The pad it's self doesn't shut down..it just closes the page or app I am on..

    My iPad randomly shuts down apps and Safari...any fixes for this?

    Basic troubleshooting steps might help. If you are using the iPad 1, low memory issues may be causing the app and Safari to crash.
    Quit all apps completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Definitely do this - Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • Why does iPad spontaneously shut down apps?

    My iPad has started spontaneously shutting down Apps, with no action from me. I try to make sue I don't have too many Apps opened that are not in use, so I don't think it's a memory issue. Sometimes it actually causes a restart, but not always. Anyone else experiencing similar actions?

    Hi,
    Restore your iPad but not from a backup as you may re introduce the problem all over again.
    Instructions here.

    You may want to sync maybe 5 apps at a time after the restore, then test the iPad. Might be one app that's the culprit.

    Hello vina8sy,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like the iPhone will turn off after a sync but the iPad will not. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • Iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps

    Why does my iphone 3gs keep shutting down apps when I'm in the middle of using them?  The battery is holding a charge and iTunes says my software is up-to-date, so I don't understand why this is happening!  It is really frustrating when I'm trying to order something online and Safari keeps shutting down!
    Thanks to anyone who can help me!

    Hi Rebecca,
    I have looked on google for a fix to the same issue.
    Apple has been aware of this issue dating back past 2008 but they have not released a fix.
    Apparently the only way to fix it is to "do it yourself" everytime, by resetting your iphone to factory settings. And reinstalling your applications again.
    I just brought an iPhone 4 in New Zealand, and I have only 9 applications on my phone. So it can't be an issue of 'too many' apps.
    Sorry this doesn't help. The balls in Apples hands here.

  • I can't' open whitenote App since ios 7

    I can't open whitenote App since ios 7

    I'm sorry but the advice being offered is not good advice. Reinstalling the application simply replaces the bugged version. Any password prompt by the application is not accompanied by a keyboard, and is then immediately  followed by an application freeze. Also the restore data from iCloud function doesn't work although I can see that I still have the data in the cloud.
    All my attempts to politely contact Sliced-Pi via the support email on their website have been ignored. Only sign of their existence throughout has been that of my money being taken via the credit card.
    There is no indication anywhere as to whether or not an iOS7 compatibility fix will be forthcoming.
    My advice for what it is worth is move on and find yourself an alternative notepad.

  • Getting a "waiting..." or "installing..." message after sideloading an Enterprise signed app onto iOS 7 iPad Mini (among others) using App Builder 3.1.0.

    Getting a "waiting..." or "installing..." message after sideloading an Enterprise signed app onto iOS 7 iPad Mini (among others) using App Builder 3.1.0. The app icon remains "dim" on iPad desktop with one of the two messages. The messages change depending upon sync with iTunes or power-up from a shutdown. Tried assigning v30 and v31 as viewer versions, neither appear to work. The certificate signing appear to work without incident. The appropriate profile appears correctly within the iPad does not show it is expired.

    This happens when the mobileprovision file does not include the device ID of the device you are attempting to install onto. You need to recreate the .mobileprovision file and make absolutely sure the device ID for the devices are included.

  • Cannot shut down Apps, why?

    I just updated the software and now I cannot shut down apps.  Why?

    Thanks for the solution.  I have found several users that also did not know how to do this.  Apple needs to doa YouTube on this.

  • Ever since I got the new update my iPad keeps shutting down apps mid use!

    While using my iPad 2 programs and apps keep shutting down mid use this only started happening after I did the update.... Any suggestions?

    Try closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then do a soft-reset and see if that improves things.
    To close apps : double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
    To do a soft-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.
