Removing Apps from Mac and iPhone/iPad

Hi all.
Can someone advise the best way to completely remove unwanted apps please?
The issue I have is that if I remove the app from my iPhone/iPad and then sync my phone with my iMac, the app just gets put back on the iPhone/iPad.
If I remove it from the App library, the app seems to just stay on the iPhone/iPad.
The only way that works is if I manually remove it from the iPhone/iPad and iMac..
Anyone have an idea of a better way, as scrolling through 350-500 apps (twice) to determine which ones I want to get rid of is a little painful.
Thanks all...
Paul.

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

    You have to log into iPhone App Store and purchase the iPhone version of the apps. Mac apps only run on Macs, iOS apps only run on iPhone/iPads/iPods.

    Heh, that can become a nuisance. Don't know how many you've accrued in your years of iGadget enjoyment, but I've managed to accumulate nearly 600, all free   So yeah, the list can get lengthy
    I'm afraid to count . I don't spend a lot time worry about it, but have on occassion gone in and hidden a few items. A handful of apps I know I never want to see again, plus some free music tracks that didn't pan out and some TV episodes that no longer have any value to me.

  • The behavior of the emergent forms of the software in RD Web App is different in Mac and iPhone-iPad, they appear and disappear intermittently. (Remote Desktop Services - Azure).

    In Mac the forms are not integrated as one window, they appear and disappear intermittently. There is no option to configure it. In the iPhone-iPad RDP app, there is no problem with
    that, when some form gets focus the other forms remain stable. Do you have any suggestions?<o:p></o:p>

    Hi David,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    What happens when you perform Remote Desktop to any server from MRD MAC?
    Did you find everything working normally?
    If you re RDPing then there is manual configuration available, URI scheme which you can try as beneath,

    For RD Web app, did you get any error\log for your issue? If yes, then please specify for further troubleshooting.
    Hope it helps!

  • How can I sync apps from Mac to iPhone and visa versa.

    Hi,
    Firstly I'm not having any problems syncing apps to my iPhone.
    I'm very OCD and would like to have it so that If I install an app onto my Mac, it sync to my iPhone. And then if I delete it from my Mac and plug my phone in to sync, it will delete it from my iPhone.
    Basically I want my iMac to be the hub of the apps, so everything I see on my iMac will be on my phone.
    Let me know if you have a solution for this!
    Tim

    As far as installing is concerned, if you install an iPhone app on your Mac and sync your iPhone to your Mac using either USB or WiFi the app will be installed on your phone. You can also go (on the phone) to Settings/iTunes & App Store and turn on Automatic Downloads for apps. Then whenever you buy or download an app on your computer or another Apple device it will automatically be installed on your iPhone.
    For uninstalling, there are 2 ways to uninstall; one is on the phone (which you said you don't want to do) and the other is to connect the phone to iTunes, click on it, then on Apps, and uncheck any apps you don't want on the phone, then sync.

  • After installing mavericks a number of apps are not supported in Mac and iphone/ipad

    after having istalled mavericks several apps do not function on te iMac /iPhone/iPad
    such as C Cleaner on the Mac and several apps on the phone/ ipad do not syncronise the updates anymore.

      is by the way available in app store as crapware?
    Sorry, again I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Language barrier. Your English is certainly better than my proficiency in your language.
    If you are asking, "Is crapware like C Cleaner available in the app store?" , or, "if software is available in the App Store, does that guarantee that it is good?",  I don't know. I can't speak for Apple's decision making process in what does or does not go into the App Store. Dishonest developers (and crapware developers are, by definition, dishonest), can certainly inflate their own ratings. So I wouldn't go by the ratings.
    A comprehensive discussion of Mac maintenance is perhaps best left for another day.
    But my opinion is this:
    OSX is very, very well written software, and has powerful and effective troubleshooting and maintenance software already built in.
    There are very few circumstances in which one might need any third-party software to diagnose or treat a software problem with a Mac. Especially if you avoid putting crapware into your computer in the first place.
    Any third party software that says it will clean, defragment, optimize, or speed up your mac is probably crapware, and will harm your computer. People install these apps before they have any basic knowledge of the maintenance software that is already built in to their Macs.

  • Can't transfer apps from Mac to iPhone using iTunes

    I need to transfer an app from my Mac to my iPhone because the vendor bodged an update. I've deleted the broken app from the iPhone and now want to sync apps with my Mac as it has a working copy of the app. However when I go to the syncing screen there are no apps visible:
    But my Apps are all there on the Mac:
    Don't know when the problem started as I normally keep the apps up to date on each device over wifi.
    Any ideas chaps?
    David

    Apps you purchase from the Mac App Store can only run on the Mac OS X.
    Apps purchased from the iTunes store run on iOS based devices such as your iPod.
    In other words, you can't run the game for your Mac then copy it to your iPod.  Two differenct operating systems.

  • Cannot transfer Apps from Mac to iPhone 4

    I was planning on Transfering a free app from my Mac to my iPhone 4, I plugged my iPhone in and waited for iTunes to Synce.
    I will drag Candy Crush onto the screen and Sync/Apply. After waiting for it to finish, I will click done and Eject my iPhone. I still have no App on it and when I plug it back in, it says that it was never installed. Please help.

    Will I get a reply? It seems Apple isn't as supportive as I thought.

  • Help getting app from mac to iPhone please

    A while ago I bought the Picframe app from the app store via my mac.  However my iphone 3G didn't support it so I couldn't download it to my phone.  I have just bought the iPhone 5 but can't seem to get the app onto the phone. It's not showing in itunes but it shows in applications on my computer.  When I go to the app store on my phone it just shows the purchase price and seems to want me to buy it again. Would appreciate some advice please! (The phone has been fully synced with my itunes using the back up from my old phone)

    Check Settimgs>iTunes &amp; App Stores>Apple ID. Is there the account that you use to buy this app?
    You said:
    It's not showing in itunes but it shows in applications on my computer.
    You mean in Applications folder or in Apps Library in iTunes? If isn't in Apps Library drag it there from the folder. Then sync with iPhone.

  • Deleted app from itunes and iphone appearing in updates

    I have tries to install app 'Prince of Persia: Warrior within' from itunes but cancelled it looking at the app size. But this app appears in update section when I click 'itunes download available' or if I click download all apps. Again, it is also happening for one more app which I installed and deleted ('Capcom Arcade') but again it appears in download section and starts to download automatically.
    I am really frustrated with this activity as I have to always check that itunes is not automatically downloading these applications other wise it consumes by internet bandwidth (both apps are more than 500 MB of size).
    Please provide a solution or help me with any tips on this.

    To completely remove an app from iTunes & your phone, do this: Right-click the app in your iTunes library, select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash, connect your phone, if prompted that there is purchased content on your phone not in your iTunes library, decline to transfer, hit the sync button. The app and all of its data will be gone.

  • Removing Apps from iTouch and restoring

    I'm going on a business trip and I rented a few movies from iTunes. So when I hooked-up my iTouch, I checked off the apps that I wont be using for the trip. It asks 'are you sure you want to remove 7 apps from the iPod? This will delete these applications and their data from the iPod.'
    Does this mean they and their info is gone for good or just off my iTouch and all info will stay in iTunes until I sync later?
    Thanks, Jo

  • Problem syncing app from computer to iphone & ipad

    I downloaded an app (Red Laser- barcode scanner) on my windows computer. I want to use it on my iphone and ipad but can not sync it. 

    This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
    As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
    There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
    I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …
