Use multi-touch to close more than one app at a time in the multitask bar!!

Is this a new feature? I was always annoyed that I had to tap each red x one at a time to close an app on the multitasking bar, so I decided to try and tap several at a time and voilà! It works! I've been able to tap two at a time. Let me know if anyone can do more! I wish they would add a "close all" button, but in the meantime this helps a lot!!!

You only have two fingers? Yes, you can close 4 at a time.

  • Some apps stay open when trying to close more than one app at a time in ios 7

    I tried closing down 2 or 3 app at a time in IOS7 and there's always one or two that stay open. The icon at the bottom is still there but I've already swiped it up to close it. When I go out of the closing function and come back I see that they are still open and I need to close them again. I tried this on many ipads, iPhones and ipod touch and they all act the same way.
    Chris

    I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
    The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
    You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

  • How do i get my ipod touch to download more than one app at a time, can i make it toware i dont have to wait for one app to download before it starts downloading another,

    my ipod will only download one app at a time and runs extremely slow. i was wondering if there is some way that i can make it download more than one app at a time and how can i make the app start downloading again after i have left my wi-fi zone and then went back in. im really confused.

    Download everything on your computer in iTunes, then sync your iPod to iTunes.
    You should be syncing (backing up) to iTunes and your photo app regurally, anyway.

  • After downloading the latest version of Firefox I am unable to display more than one website at a time in the tool bar at the top of my screen.

    Before I upgrades to your latest version I was able to display many websites at the same time in the tool bar at the top of my screen. Now I can only display one at a time and it is extremely annoying.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • Using More Than One App At A Time

    Does anyone know if there is a way to use more than one app at a time? It would be nice to get back to the home screen without quitting an app if you are in the middle of something.

    I know I have seen some apps that specifically say that they can be used while surfing the web, etc. It may be a function of the app that it can continue to run while you're doing something else. I'm kind of surprised that a radio app wouldn't allow for that.

  • Can you use or have open more than one app at a time on iphone 6 plus?

    Sorry there is no telephone support. You could try the IRC if you want a quick response, ( whilst it is [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ask open] )
    Firefox 4 is not supported, but firefox 3.6 is

  • Can I use a magic trackpad with more than one Mac at a time?

    I am attempting to pair a MTP with a second MacBook Pro.  So far I can't get system preferences to find the MTP.
    I am wondering whether the MTP can be paired with only one Mac at a time, and that this is why my MBP won't find it.
    The reason I am thinking this is because the little booklet that comes with the MTP says 'after you pair your MTP with a Mac, you can pair it again with a different Mac.  To do this, you first remove the existing pairing and then pair the trackpad again'.
    Can anyone advise, please?
    If it can be paired with more than one MBP at a time, any suggestions why my system preferences search for the MTP is not producing any results?
    Thanks

    Yes, your keyboard, mouse or trackpad can be paired with multiple Macs.  You can even have multiple keyboards, mice or trackpads paired with one Mac.  The caveat is that the device can only be connected to one Mac at a time.  The device can't be paired or connected with a Mac while it's currently connected to another.
    Pairing a device with 2 Macs will be troublesome if the Macs are located within 33 ft of each other.  The device will connect with the first available paired Mac and then unavailable to the second.   If the Macs are located outside the 10meter range, it's quite easy to power off the keyboard (forcing a disconnect) then walking the keyboard to Mac 2 and powering the keyboard on.   I do this with a keyboard from my iMac to a Mac Mini in another room.

  • More than one VI at a time (i.e. multitasking)

    Hello.
    I currently work in a lab where we use LabVIEW to control an multifunction instrument. We use the sofware both for data acquisition (through Ni-DAQ) and for physical control of things like stages, and frequency generators (e.g. through GPIB). There are a few programs that do very simple things (like move a stage with a joystick, or turn a laser on and off) that I would like to run continuously in the background while I run other more specialized software (like a data acquisiton routine). However, when I run more than one VI at the same time I run into very bad timing problems. Some of my programs require this kind of multitasking and I have implemented it using a sort of Master loop (similiar to the Master/S
    lave paradigm discussed on the NI website).
    If I were to purchase the compiler and build executables out of some of the VIs, would I be able to run these in the background while LabVIEW runs other VIs without running into timing issues?
    Also, if I build executables from some of the VIs would these VIs be able to access global variables that LabVIEW is using (I assume the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask).
    Thanks,
    Josh

    First, do you know where your timing problems are coming from? Are some of those background tasks very processor intensive, or is the problem that you're sharing subVIs that aren't reentrant (and hence may be "blocking" each other)? Have you tried multithreading the application yet (running the motion control in one thread and the laser control in another, for instance)?
    Splitting your tasks between multiple executables might help, but it will almost certainly increase the overhead of each background task, and you will not have common access to global variables. You could, however, work around that by instituting a common data repository as one of your background tasks (presumably accessed through a messaging interface).
    In fact, I would probably suggest
    this as a method of performance optimizing your application anyway -- if you are using globals extensively for parallel operation, they might be part of the blocking problem.

  • Is it possible to email more than one photo at a time with the iPhone? Thanks

    Is it possible to send more than one photo in an email using with the iPhone? Thank you in advance for your help

    Yes.  Open your camera roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button on the top right, tap all of the photos you want included in your email, tap Share at the bottom, tap Email.  Note: all email providers have limits on the size of emails that are permitted so be careful not to try to add too many or it may not be delivered.

  • Unable to open more than one site at a time. The + is not working at all.

    A few days ago I suddenly lost the ability to have more than one web page open. The "+" will not open anything.

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

  • Can you download more than one app at a time?

    Basically, can I purchase two apps for OS X, both large downloads, and leave it overnight trusting both to be ready when I come back to the machine? Will they download one at a time, or concurrently?
    Thanks

    Only one app can be downloaded simultaneously. However, if you select to install both before going to bed, both should be downloaded and installed when you wake up, before when one app finishes installing, the other one will start being installed
