Apps reinstall themselves

I have experienced a problem trying to delete a bunch of apps. When I try to delete them normally on the Homescreen they will disappear but be there again as soon as I restart my PlayBook.
I tried to find the apps and delete their files on my computer but of course I couldn't find anything. I also deleted them via the "BlackBerry World" but that didn't do it either.
So my question is: Is there any way to uninstall them? They are just taking up so much bits and bytes its not even funny anymore.
Please don't tell me to call the BlackBerry support, that doesn't help me at all.
Thanks for your help!

Didn't work. I just signed in on the iPhone (not signed in on iTunes). One app needed updating. I did NOT click "update all", but instead updated it using the app screen itself and followed the link.
I put my password in and it began to download... moments later all those old apps even for years ago started to download. But let me say... they are not really downloading.. they are all paused. But you can't delete them until they completely download. And one more thing... Even some of my current (wanted) apps are reinstalling themselves.
Very frustrating.

Old Unwanted Apps reinstall themselves

I've had this issue for a few weeks.
On the iPhone - I go to the app store icon and it may tell me that an installed app has an upgrade. When I click to upgrade the app all of a sudden it seems like every single app I ever downloaded starts installing and installed apps re-install. I end up with a lot of pages of unwanted apps. I then have to go to each app individually to re-uninstall it. I fear upgrading any app at all.
Other notes... This happens without connecting to itunes on the computer. My iPhone is only sync to one computer. I have unchecked any unsyncing automatically options.
After this happened again... I connected the iphone to my computer, and deleting things from there and uncheck any auto syncing options. I also unchecked the "check for downloads" thing in itunes.
After much frustration - I took the nuclear option and "Erase all Content and Settings". Re-connected to itunes, etc, etc. My iphone was back to almost where it was.
Now just yesterday, I had an app that needed an upgrade. Should I press the upgrade button or not? Yes or no? OK, I pressed it. And, darnit, it happened again. All these old apps that were uninstalled on my iPhone and from iTunes started re-installing themselves.
Any advice?
Thanks in Advance,
Ray

How do I delete the pages app & reinstall?

How do I delete the Pages App & reinstall?

Hello miriverlady,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I understand that you would like to learn how to uninstall an application, then re-install it. Let’s begin!
To uninstall an application, including the Pages app:
OS X Yosemite: Install, update, and uninstall apps
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH18752
Uninstall apps
You can uninstall apps you got from the Mac App Store, from other websites, or from discs. You can’t uninstall apps that are part of OS X, such as Safari and Mail.
Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, hold down an app’s icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, then click an app’s delete button. If you later want the app, you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store.
To reinstall an application you previously purchased or downloaded, simply navigate to the Mac App Store and visit the Purchases tab:
Mac App Store: Finding your purchased apps - Apple Support

Thanks,
Matt M.

In iOS 7, apps refresh themselves when switching back to them

I often work with one app and switch to another app, then return to the original. After upgrading to iOS 7, it seems that apps (or web pages in Safari) now sometimes refresh or reload themselves when I switch back to them rather than simply presenting me with what I had before. It's not a behavior I like. For instance, say I'm looking at a photo in my photo app Photo Manager Pro. I switch to another app, then when I come back, Photo Manager Pro seems to reload itself and starts all over at its splash screen, so it takes extra tapping to get back to the picture I was looking at. And Safari sometimes refreshes web pages when you return to Safari from another app.
It seems to happen sometimes but not others, and I can't figture out the pattern.
I don't think this has to do with the "Background App Refresh" feature as none of these auto-refreshing apps are in the apps list under Settings -> General --> Background App Refresh.
Any help in figuring out what's going on?

This is a problem many and probably all are having with iOS7 "Multitasking."
Here is probably the largest and most helpful thread about it, but it doesn't fix anything: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24582055#24582055

Deleted a app, reinstalled it then turned off my phone, now it wont turn back on

i deleted my twitter app as it would not work, then i tried to reinstall it and it wouldn't reinstall so i turned off my phone and it won't turn back on, it goes to the picture of the apple logo and no further, resetting it won't do anything and i've connected it to my computer and it is still frozen, what do i do?

hard reset. hold the home button and the power button for 20 seconds

I synced with a new computer. Lost apps, reinstalled, had docu in an office2HD app when reinstalled, but will not cut and paste?

I synced with a new computer, lost apps. Reinstalled and office2HD had all docs still in, but now I can not get the cut and paste feature to work? Also had problems with Gmail account and deleted and created new, so not sure I can download the app a 3rd time?

Two ways.
- You can sync with the new computer by following these instructions
Sync Your iOS Device with a New Computer Without Losing Data - How-To Geek
All the apps have to be in the iTunes library so the app data will have a place to go.
- Or just restore from iCloud backup. That will also pull down the apps from iCloud. Your apps data will also be restored.

App reinstall

Today MLB at Bat 2011 stopped working. I removed the app from my iPhone 4 and it did not reinstall upon syncing. The App Store wants me to pay $14.99 for the app again.
How can I reinstall without repurchasing?

How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

I synced with new computer, lost apps. reinstalled but Office HD docs that we're not lost when I reinstalled will not cut and paste. Will I need to use only new documents to cut and paste?

I synced my IPad2 with a new computer and lost all apps. I reinstalled apps. When I reinstalled the Office2HD, all documents were still ther, but I am trying to cut and paste one and it is not allowing? Will I need to save new documents there for this function to work?

There are dozens of possibilities, Lisa.
Which C50-A do you have? There is a label on the bottom.
What security applications do you have installed? Webroot is a common offender.
Do you have Microsoft Office installed? If so, which version?
Do you use Bluetooth?
Did you upgrade to Windows 8.1 properly, following carefully the instructions here?
   How to Update from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1
Find a situation that always gives you trouble, so that know when we learn something.
Then see if that trouble occurs after a clean boot.
   1. Open the System Configuration utility (msconfig.exe). You can do that by typing msconfig at the Start screen and pressing Enter.
   2. On the Services tab, set the Hide all Microsoft services check box and then click Disable all.
   3. On the Startup tab, click Open Task Manager, right-click and disable each Startup item. Then close Task Manager.
   4. Back on the System Configuration screen, click OK, and restart the computer.

Deleted app, reinstall not working

I deleted an app ICON on my itouch, but i am not able to reinstall the app. It shows installed in the app store but no ICON to access the problem, I have tried to uninstall in itunes and re-sync no luck. any suggestions? thanks

- Try a reset. Nothing is lost:
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Have you used the Spotlight search on the iPOd? Maybe y really did not delete the app?
- Last would be to restore the iPod.

Apps opening themselves

Hey I'm having a problem with my incredible opening up apps that I don't want open. I have the advanced task killer and because this has been such a problem I have it set to kill every app when the screen is turned off. But I'm still having this problem, but mainly after the updates when apps are just automatically installed on the phone. For example, apps such as skype, and slacker radio are always starting themselves and then I have all these apps killing my battery life. I've gone in to settings and force closed them and it even says that they won't start again until I open it but they still open. Any ideas of how to actually get this to stop??

Agreed!
1) Limiting the syncs helps (only my Google syncs) Unless preferred, try not to have your syncs scheduled every hour
2) Adjusting the Brightness low enough (auto bright causes the brightness to change often)
3) Properly exit/back out of apps (not all apps from the Market shut down on their own)
4) Disable Live Wallpaper (neat to look at but gets old after a day)
5) Only use necessary widgets (yeah, 7 home screens but just as easy going thru the app drawer)
6) WiFi off (when out of range or when you know youre only going to use 3G, turn off WiFi as it will constantly scan for available connections)
7) Bump Charging (not a fan, but it actually works)
What really helped me was using the Power Management widget ...not only does it provide easy access to turn off/on functions, but it also tells you whats running (GPS, WiFi, BlueTooth, Syncs, Brightness)
I will be the first to say its ridiculous that that phone requires so much babysitting, but with the processor and app happy users, it is sometimes necessary.
Hope this helps!

Why are my apps unchecking themselves when i try to sync them

When i download new apps and try to sync them they uncheck themselves my computer is authorized to use them. how can i get them to stop unchecking hemselves

Maybe the apps are not compatible with iOS 5. Some other users have discoverd that incompatibility.

No iCloud app reinstall..

I have been told I have a corrupted app and need to delete and reinstall.. The app keeps downloading the corrupted app from iCloud not from the App Store.. How can I download this app directly from iTunes and not iCloud..

That means it was previously purchased and available to redownload from iTunes in the Cloud. This still downloads it from the App store. No apps (or other purchased media for that matter) are stored in your personal iCloud account. Even when you restore from an iCloud backup your media is simply redownloaded from the iTunes and App store.

Illustrator not responding even after preferences cleared and app reinstalled.

I have a Toshiba Q875 running Windows 8. I subsribe to Creative Cloud. I have a huge proble, with Illustrator CS6.
I have seen posts about this problem on the forums, but I need to post this anyway because I am at wits end. After I start Illustrator, I cannot open a document or create a new document without the program giving me a not repsonding error. I have had two lengthy calls with Adobe Technical Support. In addition to uninstalling and reinstalling the software four times, we have cleared the preferences and created a second user. After the first call, tech had Illustrator running by killing the prefs. A couple of days later, the problem resurfaced. Today the tech walked me through everthing, including a thorough examination of the uninstall before I performed the reinstall. He assured me everything would work. It does not.
I am hoping somebody has insight to this problem. I more so hope that somebody from Adobe sees my post. I cannot believe that I cannot speak to somebody in the US to help remedy this problem. The offshore techs have been nice, but somebody at coporate needs to know about this problem that, as my research has indicated , is not a rare problem on Macs or PCs.

ikemyer,
Did you run the Cleaner Tool between uninstalling and reinstalling?

Apps "Hiding" Themselves

I've been dealing with this for a while. It's been happening more frequently as of late. I'm working in one space and I click a dock icon for a app in another space. Not only am I not switched to space of that app automatically, but when I switch the space manually there is nothing there. I navigate through the rest of my spaces to find that there are no apps shown. I right click on the icons of these "hidden" apps to find that the Hide option is still available. The app doesn't reappear until I "hide" and show it. I have to repeat this for all of the open apps. Why would I have to hide apps that I can't see? I hope everyone can follow this. What is causing this problem? What can I do to fix it?

Not annoyed, just frustrated. Apple forever.
Hi garry,
thats what I am thinking too. It must be a third party plug in , which gives you a bad time. I have installed ( with archive & install ) 10.5 on 3 Macs - 2 / MBP's and 1 / G5 Powermac - on all three everything - everything is going fine - as promised by Apple.
All of these systems ( 10.4.10) were quite the same ..etc...
So - sorry for ya - but I guess somehow it will turn out right for ya too..
i've heard today ( in a german macnewspaper) that 10.5.1 is already in progress and will adress some major issues for the people who had "bad luck"..
All my best!
