    How can I find out what is running in the background

    Hi simpbarby,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The links below will help you understand what apps are running on your iPhone.  You can quit the ones that you aren't using.

    This link will provides tips to conserving battery life:

    Optimize Your Settings
    Depending on how they are set, a few features may decrease your iPhone battery life. The tips below apply to an iPhone running iOS 7.0 or later.
    Enable Wi-Fi: Having Wi-Fi enabled helps consume less power when doing activities that access data. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and log in to a Wi-Fi network.
    Adjust brightness: Dim the screen or turn on Auto-Brightness to extend battery life. Turning on Auto-Brightness allows the screen to adjust based on lighting conditions.
    Fetch new data less frequently: The more frequently email or other data is fetched, the quicker your battery may drain. To fetch data manually: Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Fetch New Data and tap Manually.
    Turn off push notifications: Apps with Push Notification alert you of new data, which may impact battery life. To disable, go to Settings > Notifications, choose the app you want to disable, and do the following:
    Change Alert Style to None.
    Turn Badge App Icon off.
    Turn Sounds off.
    Note: New data will be received when you open the app.
    Minimize use of location services: Apps that actively use location services, such as Maps, may reduce battery life. You can see which applications have recently used location services by going to Settings > Privacy > Location Services.
    Use Airplane Mode in low- or no-coverage areas: Your iPhone always tries to maintain a connection with the cellular network, which may use more power in low- or no-coverage areas. Turn on Airplane Mode to increase battery life in these situations.
    Viewing Usage StatisticsKnowing and understanding your iPhone usage can help you better manage your battery life. To view your iPhone usage statistics, go to Settings > General > Usage. Under “Time since last full charge”:
    Usage: Amount of time iPhone has been awake and in use since the last full charge. iPhone is awake when you’re on a call, using email, listening to music, browsing the web, or sending and receiving text messages, or during certain background tasks such as auto-checking email.
    Standby: Amount of time iPhone has been powered on since its last full charge, including the time the phone has been asleep.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • How can I find out what's running in the background?

    Hi All -
    This has been happening for quite some time and I just can't seem to figure it out.
    It seems as though my machine is constantly processing something.  I can hear it "chugging away".  Even when no applications are running.  So far I have tried the following:
    Deleting all applications I no longer use (including all of their hidden files)
    Turned off applications such as Google Drive and Drop Box (in case it was the continual syncing)
    Checked the Activity Monitor and Installed something called iStat Pro - neither of which I understand how to read.
    Can anyone give me any more suggestions? My next step would be to reformat, but we all know how cumbersome and time-consuming that can be!  Perhaps I just need more memory or storage.
    Thanks so much in advance

    Did you uninstall CleanMyMac according to the developer's instructions: How to Uninstall CleanMyMac Classic ... - MacPaw
    To verify that you've eliminated all of the files associated with CYM download and run Find Any File to search for any files with "the application's' name"  and the "developer's name" in the file name.  For example for CleanMyMac you'd do two searches:
    1 - Name contains "cleanmymac"
    2 - Name contains "macpaw"
    Any files that are found can be dragged from the search results window to the Desktop for deletion.
    FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't like invisible folders, system folders and packages.
    Download and run Etrecheck.  Copy and paste the results into your reply. It's a diagnostic tool that was developed by one of the most respected users here in the ASC to help identify the more obvious culprits.

  • HT201365 On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

    On this new ios7 update how do I kill apps running in the background now? I used to be able to double tap the home button

    Double tap the home button.  Slide the preview window upward.  You can do 2 at a time.
    It's rarely useful or necessary to do this. Very few apps actually "run in the background" (such as audio streaming and navigation apps).  The vast majority are frozen and consume no resources.  The iOS manages memory for you to optimize running apps.

  • 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

  • How do I turn off apps running in the background on iOS7?

    I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7.  How do I turn off apps running in the background? Double tapping the home button and turning each one off doesn't work on the updated iOS.

    Double click the Home button and "slide" the open apps 'UP" with your finger, they will disappear.

    They changed it a bit, but you can still close apps. Double click the Home button to pull up the currently running apps. Side scroll over to the app you want to close, then swipe up on the app *window* (not the icon at the bottom).

  • HT201401 How do I close out my apps (Facebook, iTunes,etc.) so I don't run up my data usage?

    How do I close out my apps (Facebook, iTunes,etc.) so I don't run up my data usage?

    Generally just tapping the home button when in the app will close it. However, I feel you are referring to closing in the multi-tasking tray. Tap the home button twice, the list will come up. Then swipe upwards on the thumbnail of the app and it will close.
