Stop ipad from reloading apps when switching

Since ios7, some apps and all browsers are reloaded when I switch between apps. This means for some Safari windows, I have to relog into the sight and navigate back to where I was, even though I've only been "gone" for a few minutes. Some apps are the same way, for example Pandora. The app completely reloads if I've been "gone" for more than some amount of time (a few minutes at most). This is incredibly frustrating and I don't remember this is ios6. Any help to get it to cease?!?

Please take a look at this discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5380124
Lots of other people are complaining about this annoying "Refresh Bug"!

How to stop iPad from transferring apps to Mac?

First off, let me state that I have iCloud backups of the most important app data and I don't care that I don't have backups for the rest. I don't care that those apps might one day be gone from the App Store. I don't care about saving my game data.
What I do care about is that I shouldn't be forced to have a backup of ALL the apps on my iPad/iPhone on my MBP, which didn't come with unlimited storage space.
I think at one point I was asked by iTunes if I wanted to transfer the purchases to my Mac (or if I wanted to backup the apps? I don't remember) and I foolishly clicked yes. Now, even though I have clicked on "Rest Warnings" multiple times, iTunes still insists on copying all the apps to my Mac without asking me if I wanna do it.
I saw some suggestions about creating empty folders and stuff but I don't wanna do that. It just doesn't make sense that Apple doesn't give us an option to NOT backup our apps to our Macs. I thought the point of having an App Store where you can download your purchases anytime you want is so that you don't have to keep everything on your Mac.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I hope you get a solution soon. I've been having this problem too. I under any circumstances don't want my apps on my computer either, I remember when I bought my first iPad iTunes used to have an option to choose whether or not to sync/transfer apps but now its gone and it drives me crazy everytime I want to transfer music. I remember this option was Under the tab "Apps" in the device and under the Apps list. It was a check box like the ones that the Music and other library syncing currently have. But i havent seen it in a while. Apple really screwed this up.

How do I stop itunes from transferring apps from my ipad or iphone to my pc ?

How do I stop iTunes from transferring apps from my iPad or iPhone to my PC ? I have App sync turn off and I have add files to library turned off. Yet every time
I sync iTunes transfers all my apps to my PC. I have 20-30 gig of apps on each. A lot of them are 1gig each and it takes for ever to sync , plus I don't want 100 gig of apps just sitting on my hard drive for no reason. Any app I ever want is always available in the cloud so what's the point of having them on my PC in the 1st place?

I'm pretty sure that the space is used up on your computer's hardrive.
Anyway my solution to this nuisance of apps/itunes transfer was to allow itunes to download the apps from my phone...
...First of all I had tried to uncheck a few boxes in itunes a) automatically sync when device is connected (in the summary section) b) prevent devices from syncing (edit>preferences>devices) and c) Automatically sync new apps (apps section of device)
HOWEVER, when I would click sync in any section, apps tried to transfer to itunes from my iphone.
So after all my apps went on my computer (approx. 9 GB), I checked the boxes back, disconnected my device and deleted all the apps from itunes and my computer simultaneously (by clicking del/move to recycle bin).
Now when I connect my iphone it does it's backup/sync thing automatically ...but no apps try to transfer
Note: apps from your library cannot be set to sync with your device
I can now also click sync in any section and no apps transfer.
(This problem started when I downloaded an app from itunes rather than my device and I later transfered the app to my device. My apps section in itunes is completely empty now and no apps appear in windows explorer either)
the only thing I am unsure of now is; what's going to happen if I purchase an app from itunes on my pc again ...I'm guessing I'll have to repeat the process (might want to avoid that)

How do I stop applications from coming up when I power up my computer. If this were a Windows system I would be able to take the app out of the start up folder. On the Mac I don't know how.

The app (Excel) is in the dock. When I left click on it there is no check next to open at login.
Lets go back to the beginning when I installed ms office both word and excel were in the dock. then one day excel dissapeared. I put it back in the dock and that is when it started opening during login. There is only one X showing in the dock.
Maybe I have little gremlins.

HT6074 stop pages from reloading automatically

Wondering how to stop Safari from reloading web pages automatically when I go back to my previous page. It's annoying scrolling back to my previous spot when im surfing the web.

Your advice didn't work for me. Safari was the only app I had running, and I only had two tabs. I was attempting to post in school discussion forum. I opened a new tab, and found the link I wanted to reference. When I returned to the discussion board tab, the page reloaded and I lost everything I had typed thus far.
I have a 16GB iPad 2 with 12GB free. Only one app running and two tabs open and yet it still did this.
Any thoughts on why that might be?

I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

I downloaded different books on my iPad from iBook but when I try to read them the book isn't complete and I see lots of pages with error.

Have you tried closing the iBooks app completely and seeing if it works ok when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e.not with the iBooks 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 the iBooks 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.
If neither of the above work then you could also try deleting the app and re-installing it - as long as the books are still in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used then you can re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

I have an iphone 3gs. I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone. Everytime I update, it reloads all of the emails as new unread emails. Is there any way to either delete all or alternatively stop it from reloading all prior emails?

I have an iphone 3gs. I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone. Everytime I update the phone, it reloads all emails received as new unread emails. I can click each one, move them to trash and then delete all. However, I am wondering whether there is any way to either (a) delete all from the inbox or (b) stop them from reloading?
Thanks

Hello Kizzyk,
I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?

Hi, well as the title states:
How do i stop iPhoto from automatically opening when I connect my iPhone?
It's getting on my nerves...
Thanks.

This might also be helpful:
I wrote an AppleScript that asks me each time I connect the iPhone/camera/etc whether or not I want to open iPhoto. Usually I just hit return and it doesn't open, but once in a while I'll click Yes to open iPhoto and import videos from my phone. I just did it because it's nice to have a little reminder so I don't go for too too long without importing, but not have it slow things down each time I plug in.
Below is the script. Paste it into AppleScript Editor, then export it as an application. Then set Image Capture to open this app when you plug in your phone. Would love to hear if it's helpful for you or if you modify it to use other criteria to automatically import only at certain times or conditions.
Nathan
set question to display dialog "Open iPhoto to import photos?" buttons {"Yes", "No"} default button 2
set answer to button returned of question
if answer is equal to "Yes" then
tell application "iPhoto" to activate
end if

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?

How do I stop mail from automatically opening when iCal events begin?
When an event is about to begin, the mail app opens and I'd like to turn that off since I don't use the mail app.
Thanks!

Hi
This may have something to do with the "Automatically retrieve invitations from Mail" option being enabled? Click on the iCal Menu > Preferences > Advanced. It may also be the Alarms setting? This is for 10.6 iCal so it may be in a different place for 10.5?

When going to my hometown paper's site I get a dropdown banner that says Firefox has prevented this site from reloading ,but when I click on the allow button you have on the banner nothing happens so why is the button there?

When I go to the local paper's from Elmira,NY and some other sites I get a drop down banner at the top of the page that tell me Firefox has prevented this page from reloading,but when I go to the allow button that you put on the right side of the banner and click on it the banner goes away and then it comes right back. It will come back every time you click allow until I click on the x box. So I want to know why is the allow button there if it does nothing?

Click the Firefox button, go to Options | Options | Advanced and in the General tab, remove the checkmark from "'''Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page'''".
You won't get that dropdown banner anymore afterwards.

You might want to update Safari to 3.12. I would empty the safari cache. (Safari>Empty Cache). Then quit Safari. System Preferences>Network>Show:Airport>TCP/IP. Insert the following into the DNS Servers box;
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
then hit apply. Now launch Safari. You should also try powering down modem, router and Mac and power up in 2 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

How to stop MG3520 from dropping image when fit to page is checked

How can I stop MG3520 from cropping image when fit to page is checked?

Hi Keithlad,
You will want to make sure that the paper size selected in the printer driver is the same size as the paper that you have loaded in the printer to ensure that the image prints correctly. When the paper size selected in the printer driver is smaller than the actual page size, the page image will be reduced. When the paper size selected is larger, the page image will be enlarged.
