TS3274 Background apps. How to close apps running in the background.

I just down loaded iOS 7.1. Background apps closer problem. Double clicking home button no longer opens all my running apps. How will I close running background apps? Thank you.

Double-clicking home button should still work. Unless you changed something, perhaps in accessibility settings? Try varying the speed.
But there is an alternative: swipe with 4 or 5 fingers upward off the top, this should get you to the same place.

Double tap the home button and find the app you want to close. Swipe up or drag up on the app thumbnail to close it. Not the icon, the app preview thumbnail above the icon, drag up on that.

Close programs running in the background

I have a program that I have been attempting to delete but it says that it is currently open and can not be deleted.   How do I force close a program that automatically runs in the background upon startup? (I can't locate the program itself other than in application where it does not offer me a close or force close option)   And Yes I tried restarting the computer.

See the following about uninstalling applications. Also, open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Locate this program in the list and select it. Now click on the Quit icon in the toolbar then click on the Force Quit button.
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

Obviously you didn't search the forum prior to your post as there have been a lot of posters with the same question. Double tap on the home button as usual. Scroll left or right to select the app that you want to close and swipe upward to close it. The iPhone ios7 user guide is available online from Apple support and from the ibook store on your phone.

HT4623 How do I close programs running in the background to speed up my phone?

Downloads are very slow. How do I speed up?

You can close apps via the taskbar : double-click the home button to open the taskbar at the bottom of the iPhone's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on that taskbar for a second or two until they start to shake, tap the '-' to close them, and then click the home button to close the taskbar. But a lot of the apps that appear there won't be active, they will just be 'recently used'.
In terms of speeding up downloads, what connection do you have ? If you are downloading via cellular and you are somewhere where you can only get a 2G connection then downloads will be slower than if you were in an area with better reception or if you were connected to a decent wifi network.

Here is How you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background

How do you close out an iPhone app that is running in the background in the new iOS 4? We’ve had more than one reader ask this question since the launch of the new iPhone operating system, and the iPhone 4, last week. Some have asked about this due to battery drain concerns, and others just because they want to be able to shut down a backgrounded app.
So this seems as good a time as any to share a quick tip on how you can force apps to close in the new iOS 4.
There are two ways to fore an app to close down under iOS 4. The first is by doing a ‘force quit’ on the app, just as we have done under the previous version of the iPhone OS. To do this, you press and hold the power button while you are in the app you want to close down. Wait for the ‘Slide to power off’ bar appears across the top of the iPhone – then don’t hit Cancel, but instead just hold down the Home button continuously until the app closes and you drop back to the home screen.
The much easier method now available in iOS 4 is to use the Multitasking bar to close any app you want. Here’s how:
– Double tap the Home button to bring up the Multitasking bar
– Press and hold anywhere on the multitasking bar until the icons on it start to wiggle.
– While they are wiggling, each icon has a Minus sign symbol above it.
– Press the Minus symbol above any app to close it down.
That’s it. This will work for any app you want to close, including the Apple built-in apps like Mail and Safari etc.
Hope this quick tip is helpful to some of you who are getting to know iOS 4.

The apps on the bottom are recently accessed apps. Instead of closing when you exit the app they go into a suspended state, and will load faster when you next launch them. Unless they are a streaming app (like Pandora) they do not use any power when they appear in the active app list.
This information, as well as the OP's post, are in the latest user guide. I guess nobody reads manuals anymore

How do you close apps running in the background in iOS 7?

Do you know how to close apps in iOS 7? In iOS 6 you held your finger on them and when the minus sign came up you closed them that way. This saved the battery. Now there is no way to close the apps once you close them and it runs the battery down rapidly.

To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.
Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings, as explained in this article .... http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-battery/

How do I stop apps from running in the background?

Do you mean u have no idea what apps they are? You could try Activity Monitor, but be careful there that you won't close / quit apps which might be needed by your system..
If you have some apps which startup in the background when logging in, you can find it in system preferences -> Users & Groups, select your user and then select the tab Login Items.
