Apps keep adding themselves back onto icloud backup

Really annoying problem because ill get emails from icloud saying the backup is almost full , upon checking the backup page and what apps are backed up . I keep finding that my winzip app , adobe reader, and another app keep adding themselves back onto the list despite me constantly selecting them off. The third app collects some 800 mb of data but none of it is needed to be backed up since its all profiles and stuff.
Any solutions?

Apps are NEVER backed up to iCloud. Neither is Music or Videos. So Apps are not what is taking up your iCloud storage.
Apps, music and videos don't need to be backed up, because they can be downloaded again any time they are needed.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps back from my compuer onto my IPAD?  I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system, which erased my IPAD.  I can't get my purchased apps from my computer back onto IPAD.

    I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system as directed.  This erased all my apps from my IPAD.  How do I get my apps from my computer back onto the IPAD.  Simple syncing does not seem to work.  I also have another IPAD synced with this computer, if that matters.

  • Restored device - no apps or music came back from iCloud

    I had the red dot circle issue with my music and followed the instructions to restore my device.   I have iCloud backup and restored from there.  However, I have no music now, no apps.  The only things that came back are my photos and contacts.  Help!!!

    No, the backup doesn't contain music, videos, apps, etc. You have to sync to get them back into your phone. For info about backups and what they contain, see this support article:

  • When downloading the new software none of my apps or music went back onto my phone how do i get it back onto my phone?

    last night when i downloaded the new ios5 software for my ipone 3gs.  when it was syncing after the software was done downloading, there was a error, and my apps or music were not transfered back onto my phone.  how do i get that stuff back on my phone without having anything deleted.

    If you are not showing any of your purchased music under that tab you were probably signed in on a different Apple ID account on the computer you synced with (is the the computer you normally sync with) and it has changed the User ID on your phone. Go to Settings > Store, log out whatever account it shows then log back in with your account.

  • Default apps keep getting changed back to Apple's

    Hi all,
    I use Thunderbird instead of Mail, Firefox instead of Safari and Adium instead of iChat. But, there is this very annoying thing that keeps happening. After restarting the computer, the default apps are autonotsomagicallyatall changed back to the Apple applications! So yes, i set Firefox as my default browser and use it in that way, but after a restart I'm back with safari, each and every time!
    What could going on and how could I fix this?

  • Two lost iphones.  How to get the data back from icloud backup/.

    Icloud shows my backup data in storage from two lost iphones. YesI was having too much of a good time.   How do I download this data to my Mac?  I didnt back up the data to itunes previsouly.?

    You cannot download data from an icloud backup (of a device) to a mac.  You can buy a new device and while doing the initial setup in itunes, be sure to perform a restore from the icloud backup.

  • Apps und Inhalte werden nicht geladen ( iCloud Backup wiederherstellung )

    Guten Abend,
    Ich habe soeben mein iPhone wiederherstellen lassen, da Ich Empfangsprobleme hatte und ein Kollege meinte eine Wiederherstellung sei hilfreich.
    Nun denn, Ich hatte ein Backup am 1.11 erstellt und versucht diesen Heute aufzurufen. Jedoch wurde keine einzige App geschweige denn Inhalte geladen.
    -- Ich hatte davor schonmal mein iPhone wiederhergestellt ohne iCloud und die Daten waren da, nachdem Ich die App gedownloaded habe. --
    Ich hoffe auf eine schnelle und hilfreiche Antwort.
    Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
    Cigdem

    Die Apps kommen nicht automatisch zurück :
    AppStore -> Updates -> gekaufte Artikel.
    Von dort lassen sie sich zum Nulltarif wieder downloaden.

  • RNR 4.2 Keeps adding one to the incremental backup count

    I had 10 maximum incremental backups, RNR successfully ran and created the 11th incremental, and the maximum incremental count was updated to 11.

    I'm having the same issue on Vista Business SP1.  I can get a backup to the USB external drive, just not DVD.  Any ideas?

  • Text messaging app keeps adding a "1" to the front of LOCAL 10 digit phone numbers.

    this generates an error message. Local calls require 10 digits in this area code.

    Sorry I didn't get back sooner. I've been sick with the flu.
    As for the screen shot.... no. It would have the number of the person I was texting and I'm not going to post that online.
    I've tried two different people and the results are always the same. Telephone function works, I can make and receive calls by selecting that contact. 3G data works, I can browse web. The contact is stored on the sim card. The carrier is net10 (who in this case uses ATT). The same card and contact work fine with my old phone, an LG optimus one.
    However when I select a contact and press the text symbol I get the following message. (with “x” substituted for the phone number):
    “1xxxxxxxxxx error invalid number. Please resend using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code.”
    Of course that 10 digit number work fine if it is a phone call so it is a valid number
    Because the number of people in our area code is so large, all local phone calls use 10 digits.
    I even upgraded to version v1.0.0B02 no positive effect.

  • Upgraded from 3.6 to 8. Firefox 8 keeps wiping out my stored passwords and sign-ons. I keep adding them back (key3.db & signons file). Also, private browsing doesn't work. I push that button and nothing happens.

    I replace the key3.db and signons.sqlite files with older ones that i've saved. They work the first time I launch Firefox 8, but if I shut it down and then reopen the browser, they're wiped out again
    Also, when I click on "private Browsing," nothing happens. No warning screen. It just sits there.
    I'm on Vista Home premium. Been using Firefox and Thunderbird a number of years. Have never had an issue.

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • When i delete an App it won't delete in my iCloud backup options

    When I delete an app and I look at the iCloud backup settings the app is still in the cloud.    But I want that the app is automatically deleted from icloud

  • All my apps on my iPad keep turn themselves off all the time. I have reset, deleted everything on it, deleted apps, restarted... The works. Nothing helps. Input?

    Hi people. I have an iPad. Since I updated to 4 all my apps keep turning themselves off, all the time, ncluding Safari. I now have 5.1. I have done everything on the forums: reinstalled everything, deleted running apps, turned off running apps, turned off properly... I now give up and want to throw the blasted thing away. Any input? Thanks.

    Did this start happening recently?  I have seen this too and no idea why it is happening.  I find I am typing away and it just closes, I have to open it up again.  I found this first with Angry Birds, but have also experienced it with Facebook and Safari.  I have iOS 5.01 so not sure if it is related to this or another iPad issue.
    I wasn't sure if it was because of the screen or some other touch issue.

  • TS4002 My iCloud email account in mail.app keeps been 'disconnected' despite me having full internet access...

    As description,
    I keep having issues where mail.app keeps losing collection to the icloud account for no apparent reason, even though I have full Internet access?
    any ideas?

    Sorry David,
    Really appreciate your help did not mean to confuse things.
    I am having issues primarily with mail.app in osx (keeps diconnecting)
    most of the time mail comes through to my iphone/ipad with no issues. However sometimes I have push issues with the iphone, it breaks until I close and reopen the mail app in ios (I belive this is an issue some others have)
    The issue with ios started when i transitioned to iCloud from MobileMe (was .mac previous to this) the issue with osx only staretd with Mountain Lion?
    Hope this is now clear. (Could the issue be server side, apples end?)
