Why apps keep opened even when turning the iPhone 5 off then on?

Hi guys, please tell me if this is the current bahviour of iPhone, when turning the device off, with many apps opened in the background, turning it on again, it keeps opened! It's like hibernating your computer, isn't it?
Thank you

They don't.
What makes you think the apps are still open after restarting the phone?
If you are looking at the app icons at the bottom of the screen when you double-tap the home button, then those are NOT running apps. That is simply a list of recently used apps. Which apps you have recently used does not change when restarting the phone.
Most apps on the iPhone do not run in the background anyway.

Why does MMS work only after turning the iPhone off and on for iOS6?

I got the new iPhone 5. When sending/recieving pictures i have to turn the phone off and then on. For sending, it works for about 5 minutes and then i can't send anymore. I tried turning wifi off and leaving data on, turning LTE and wifi off with data still on, and other combinations. The only time it works is when i just turned it on.

The message you are seeing is telling you that you do not have enough storage on your device. That has nothing to do with iCloud storage.
iCloud storage is storage on Apple's servers hosting your online iCloud account. The storage on your device is local and cannot be expanded - it is whatever you bought with the device (16GB, 32GB, 64GB).
You need to delete things on your device to increase free space on the device itself.
For example, if you have a lot of pictures in your camera roll, you need to sync those to your computer's photo management software and storage, then delete them from you iPad.
You can delete apps you no longer need or use. You can delete messages you no longer read or use.
Bottom line is you need to remove stuff from the iPad itself to free up more space.

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! Any suggestions?

When i try to open week cal it loads and then closes after a few seconds...I have checked for updates, turned the phone off then on, closed out of the app and then opened it again...nothing works! I have thought about deleting the app from my phone and then reloading it again but I worry that it will delete all my calendar info??? Any suggestions?

To reset, press and hold the Home and power buttons until the silver apple appears.
I would delete the app, reset the phone and then download the app again. Your calendar information should be stored on the phone as Week Cal uses the Calendar app information.
Best of luck.

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them? I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

When watching a program or film, the video will go black, but the audio will keep playimg. The only way to get picture back is to turn the tv off then on.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Check that the HDMI cable is correctly seated at both ends.
Try disconnecting the cable and connecting it again.
Try another HDMI cable.
Make sure your TV supports 720p (Apple TV 2)
Try the Apple TV with another TV

The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions

The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions & it is the condition when i took it from its pouch. Kindly help

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

I've tried everything: Power Down, Reboot, delete to uninstall and reinstall app, turn off in tray, etc.
Nothing works.

I cannot see your screen shots for some reason, but here's a suggestion:
Open iTunes on your computer, look at your playlists there. Go to your "Voice Memos" playlist, delete all its contents, and then sync your iPhone to iTunes.

Hi Lukeohiggins,
If you are having issues with your iPhone unexpectely powering off, you may want to try the troubleshooting listed under Power/Battery > Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off in the following article:

Did you try restarting it by holding down the hold and lock button at the same time until you get the apple logo? If you already tried that then you should try putting it in DFU mode and doing a restore by following these instructions- http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034

This is the stupidest question anyone has ever asked I'm sure. But how in the world do you turn the music off? If I just turn the sound off, then it doesn't want to work in other apps either and the music just goes on and on.

I have the dumbest question. Is there an off button just for the music? I can't get my music to stop playing. When I turn the sound off, the music goes on and on and the sound won't work on other apps. Am I doing something worng? Haven't had this thing very long.

"open with" menu not showing in safari when having a pdf open. even when tabing the pdf in safari.....

As the title states....
In default settings when opening a pdf with safari and tabbing the page, there is a black bar (menu) on top of the pdf and it allows you to open in ibooks or open with another app....
I've noticed that with some (company) ipads this black bar is not available.... probably this is a security setting of some sort? But I can't seem to find it anywhere...
anyone any idea what I need to change?
Thanks a bunch !

Its old code from the menu maker that I havent updated (bought their update).
Save your money. AllWebMenus are notoriously bad. You would be much better off replacing what you have now with a good CSS Menu.
Some CSS Menu Systems to look at:
    Pop-Menu Magic2 by PVII (DW extension purchase)

I keep getting an error 05 code on my t31 and turning the camera off and back on does not work.

I keep getting an error code 05 when I try to use certain modes on my Rebel T3i. It seems as though my auto flash is stuck. Is this a common complaint....and if so.....what is the answer to deal with this issue. I have followed the instructions of turning the camera off and back on....to no avail. HELP!!

Hi Hydra171,
The Error 5 error code indicates a malfunction in the popup flash mechanism.
If this is not cleared by turning the camera off, then on, your camera will require service to correct this issue.
You may set up the repair for your camera here.

Do you place the ipod in the dock during the night? I did this once and the other day the battery was almost empty because it kept on playing after it rested in the dock.
