Need to get rid of iPhone apps I won't use

I don't need all of the apps on my iPhone - but I acn't remove them. I won't use passbook, newsstand, reminders or utilities. Any suggestions?

you cannot remove any native apps that was installed by the ios. Apple community forums have many posts about this. No way to remove them.
Good Luck

How do I get rid of an app that won't quit? scanner problem

I ust tried to install a driver for my POS epson Perfection 1260. the app doesn't work with 10.4.8 and when i tried to delete their 'epson scan monitor' app I'm told it can be deleted because it's in use. I cant force quit because it doesn't show up as an option to quit. any ideas on how to get rid of the app that wont let it self be thrown away?
also any reccomendations on a sscanner that is designed and is fully functional with 10.4.8?
Thanks for the help

Hi Brian, Scanner drivers and their add ons can be problematic. I used to have HP's driver installed which played havoc with sleeping - the computers', not mine
The epson scan monitor has probably been installed into /Library/StartupItems which is why it's telling you its in use.
Try deleting it from within Safe Boot or open Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities and quit it from there before deleting it.
I can vouch for The Hatter's recommendation, VueScan. It's a wonderful little lightweight app that doesn't insinuate itself into StartupItems and mess sleeping up.
Good luck,
Adrian

Hi Pierre,
There's no way to merge them yet, so all you can do now is make 1 of them the master ID for iCloud. You have to continue to use the other for previous iTunes, Mac App Store updates. Have you read:

Are you SURE you need to reinstall? Often people believe this but it rarely solves anything. Does a message say you must?

Can't get rid of 'ghost' app.

I had a free App for my iPhone, but it seems to have been removed from the AppStore. No problem, I didn't use it anyway, but every time there are updates available for some of the other apps, this one is in the list and because it cannot update, the whole update process stops so I have to update each app individually, EVERY time. From the update list I cannot delete this app and frustratingly, it is NOT listed in the normal list of apps, so it's stuck there, I don't want it, just need to get rid of it entirely, but how can I do this?
The App itself doesn't exist in the Applications folder, but iTunes somehow still obviously thinks it has it somewhere. Where does iTunes keep its list of Apps? If I could find the pref/plist I could simply edit it out, but where is this info?
Anyone know, or any other way to get rid of this 'ghost' App?

No, not there either, sort of.
I've now remembered that it used to be called a different name and it WAS still there under that old name. I had forgotten this change of name and so didn't see it there, confused by the fact that it always tried to update with the new name.
So I just found it there in its old name and deleted it. I now suspect that it will not try to update the next time there are other updates, but I won't know for sure till then.
Of course if I only had a couple of Apps it would have been easy to see:-)

How do I get rid of an app that has an automatic weekly charge

How do I get rid of an app that that I don't want that I'm being charged for automatically each week?

There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098
If you also want delete the app from your iPad (you will also need to stop the subscription, just deleting an app won't do that) : press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

How do I get rid of an App stuck in waiting. I synced my iPad with my computer, booted my iPad, signed out and back in the store! Help!!

How do I get rid of an app stuck in waiting? I have signed in and out of ITunes store and booted my iPad. I synced my iAd with my computer. I can't use the app or delete it! Thanks!

If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
If that doesn't work:
• Log out of your iTunes store account. Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
• Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
• After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

I want to change to local carrier sim card when traveling. Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5?

I live in the US, and want to buy iphone 5. I am having a hard time to figure out which iphone 5 I should get. I will use the phone in the US most of the time. Therefore, I will purchase a plan from a US carrier. I also want to use the phone when traveling in Asia. I don’t want to use international roaming because every time I travel, I need more 1,000 minutes talking on the phone. Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5? I heard iphone 4S can change sim card at local carrier. Does iphone 5 have the same option?

"Do I need to get an unlocked iphone 5? "
Yes.
There has been no announcement about the release of an unlocked iphone 5 yet.
"I heard iphone 4S can change sim card at local carrier."
If it is unlocked then it can use other SIM cards.

HT1420 need to get rid of old expired apple accounts before I can purchase new stuff

i need to get rid of old expired apple accounts from previous email addresses. how to do that?

Why would you keep creating new accounts?
Just change the e-mail address associated with the account.
Having more than one account will generally cause problems.
All purchases are always tied to the account from which they were purchased.
