I want to permanently get rid of unwanted apps in the store so my iPad won't reload them when I sinc. Can I do this?

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them from the Purchased links so that they don't show for redownloading, as described on the page that you posted from. If they are being synced back to your iPad then you must still have them on your computer's iTunes library - you can select them in the Apps part of your computer's iTunes library and delete them from there (and delete them from your iPad so that they aren't copied back to your computer when you next sync), that will stop being synced back to your iPad.

  • Getting rid of unwanted apps

    I want to get rid of some apps that I don't like/don't use. I have deleted them from my iPad and my computer, but they keep coming back through updates and when I sync my computer and iPad. Is there a way for these things to go away permanently?

    The way that you delete apps in iTunes on your computer is .....
    Launch iTunes.
    Click on Apps under the library heading on the left.
    Click on the app that you want to delete
    Go to Edit>Delete
    Follow the prompts from there.
    You will get a message about the apps being removed from the iPad when you sync again because you are removing them from iTunes, but that is what you want to do - permanently remove them.

  • Another web browser has hijacked my Firefox and I cannot see how to get rid of it. In the meantime, I have stopped using Firefox on my laptop because I do not trust this other web browser.

    A website I was using to find out some transport information has hijacked my Firefox on my laptop and I am unable to get rid of it. I do not trust this other browser so I have stopped using Firefox altogether on my laptop until I find out how to get rid of this other browser. I have an Apple MacBook.

    Hi there and thanks for replying. I am not quite sure what you mean by 'restore back to the troubled date'. Would you please explain how I should do this?

  • Did Apple get rid of podcast app on the ipod

    My podcast app disappeared from my ipod without me deleting it. Did Apple get rid of it or is something wrong with my ipod.

    What happens when you try to redownload it?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    have yo tried using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.

  • I have a new iPad Air and in using the App Store, it seems frozen with an app that I didn't want.   I cannot look at other apps in the store or anything.  How do I unfreeze it?  Something equivalent to Control Alt Delete with Window.

    I have an iPad Air just acquired yesterday.   The App Store seems to be frozen and I have on idea how to undo it.  It is as if i clicked on an app to download and it came up but it is frozen.  I cannot get rid of it or go to anything else in the App Store.   I tried downloading that app and opening it - didn't help.  Guess what I am looking for is the equivalent of Control +Alt+Delete in Windows.  Thanks.

    Double tap your home button and open apps will appear above as smaller screen shots.  With your finger swipe the open app upwards and it will fully close.
    The cntrl/alt/delete option on an iPad is a reboot and to do so, press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for about 10 seconds until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.

  • How to permanently get rid of an app you never use

    After you delete an app, then it shows a cloud above the app how do you delete it from that.

    You can't permanently delete any item from your account's purchase history, all you can do is hide them via your computer's iTunes so that they don't show in the Purchased sections for redownloading : iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    The current version of iTunes has a bug, the 'x' which should show on the app's top left corner as described on the above link is invisible, but clicking there should still hide the app.

  • How do I get rid of an app that has started down loading and won't stop

    I had app crime scene downloaded then on its own it started downloading and just keeps running can't stop pitot get into unload

    I've had similar issues in the past with downloading an app that appears to be eternally downloading and never finish.  What I did was delete the app from my device, (hold your finger till the icons jiggle, etc...) then go back to the app store and start the process over.  That has worked for me.
    Good luck!

  • A process by the name of avgcmgr is loading the CPUs by up to 100 percent. At least 5 of them have appeared on the activity monitor. I've removed them with forced quit but they return! How do I permanently get rid of them? CPUA temp is now 194F.

    Hi Ray-
    I'm having the exact same problem and have searched the web for hours looking for a solution (multiple spawned avgcmgr processes that consume cpu).
    Did you find any solution?
    Thanks so much!

  • How to permanently get rid of Bing in Safari

    I would like to permanently get rid of Bing in Safari.    It keeps overriding Google.    I do not like Bing.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    Besides the files listed in the linked support article, you may also need to remove this file in the same way:
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.ltvbit.plist
    If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those you find, remove them as well.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates
    if it's not already checked.

  • How to PERMANENTLY get rid of 3rd party Plug-ins in Logic pro 9.

    Hi, im trying to get rid of some 3rd party plug-ins on logic, but it only looks like i can disable them. (sweeping them under the rug isn't helpful) This is a problem because i have one version of a plug-in that doesn't work and im gonna get another of the same version (with expansions) to replace it so im concerned that the 2 versions will conflict with one another and i wont get the expansions i payed for. Anyone have a solution to permanently get rid of plug-ins? -Tim

    The component files of the third party plugins are in:
    Local Drive\Library\Audio\Plug-Ins\Components
    You can make a backup of a given component (say in a desktop folder) and replace the component with other version etc.
    You can use [Pacifist|http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/mac/12743] as well to install/extract a component from a given installation pack etc.
    Edit: Sorry Immo I duplicated your reply solutions hitting posting a few sec. later...

    The Cloud by the song indicates that is is an iTunes purchase but it is not downloaded on the iPod. If you only want download iTunes purchases to show in the Music app go to Settings>itunes and pp Store and turn off Show aLL.

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):
