Apps that won't delete???

I have an uptodate ipad mini and I want to delete all the apps on it and start again. I can delete most of them by making them shake then by clicking the cross but there are some that won't go in this way no matter what I do. These apps are not even installed - they are translucent and don't work on it anyway.
Also when I connect my ipad to my itunes and click on the 'will install' to stop it from installing automatically then click 'apply' it just reverts back to the will installl and stays on the ipad in a translucent icon! It won't even install so I can remove it.
Any ideas? Help would be appreciated as I have spent most of the day on this and am starting to go bonkers!

If you want to start over use Settings > General > Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.

I can't empty the trash I have three different versions of Quicken Essentials that should have been deleted and also some iskysoft apps [two ]. I tries to delete them but I always get a -8003 error. I ve tried using the terminal with both the sudo and chflags methods. No effect. Can anyone give a method that would work to delete the five? In advanced appreciation.

When I try to download a free app that I accidently deleted, I get an error message that says 1004, try again later. I want to reload the app and it won't let me. HELP!!

I have an ipad2 and it won't let me reload an app that I accidently deleted. It is a free app that I had downloaded without a problem and now when I try to re-install it, a message comes up repeatedly that says Error 1004-Try again later. Please help!
Thanks,

Try this and see if it works for you.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data/Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

It seems to be the spotify app in my trash that won't delete. i tried the advanced tip and it deleted everything else but the spotify app. any suggestions? the progress bar when emptying the trash never changes.

Not uncommon with spotify. If you have 'Trashit', that will almost certainly clear it. If not, download it from here. Download Trash It! for Mac - Force-empty your trash can. MacUpdate.com

If you want to delete an app forever.
1st delete the app on your iPad and on any other iOS devices.
2nd delete the app from iTunes on your PC.

How do I get rid of apps that I have deleted completely??

I've deleted some apps off my iphone as well as in my apps folder on itunes but each time itunes opens it tries to download and update the apps that I have deleted. The download then comes up with an error 8008. I have also cleared the apps from my recycle bin. Each time I connect my phone to my laptop the apps show up on my phone again but wont completely download. It is very frustrating! Can anyone help me???

You can't, this is by design due to the fact iOS 7 can auto update apps, it therefore acts as a history for apps which have been installed so you can see what was installed, when and what was new.

Is there a way to find out all the apps that I've deleted on my iPhone? If so how?

What is iOS 5 ?
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1521
And does my iPhone 4 as that?
Settings>>General>>About>>Version
(Used my iTouch as example)
And if it deos how can I see the apps that I've deleted ?
App Store>>Updates>>Purchased
Scroll through the list of apps that your purchased, and if you remember the apps that you delete, the search will be a lot easier.
If you don't have iOS 5, you can update your iPhone and since you have an iPhone 4, you can only go up to iOS 6.1.3

Hope all this helps.

HT1918 After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone & ipad?!?

After seven ios updates, why is iBooks still the only app that won't synch between iphone & ipad?!?

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. I did think that could be the case but then other books would also show up as apps on phone but not counted as an app. Maybe book apps downloaded from the app store work in this way whereas books bought from the ibooks app show in ibooks and not as apps.
I guess that would make sense, it must be because they are books but downloaded from the app store rather than the book store so they are visible as an app but don't actually get counted as an app.
Would you think that's the case too?
Thanks
Adam

Is there a way to get an app that has been deleted from the app store?

Not unless the developer/Apple offer it again in the App store. You can only get apps from the App store.

How do I re download an app that I've deleted.

How do I re download an app. that I've deleted. I downloaded Plus 7 but everything I tried to open it there was just a blank screen. I thought deleting it and re downloading would solve it, but there's no option for me to download it again when I choose that same app.

HT1766 how can I get back deleted photos from an app that i have deleted?

I am trying to get back photos and videos from an app that I have deleted. I really hope there is a way of doing this. Someone please help

Only if you backed up the phone before that and did not back up after that. App settings and data are part of the backup. But all other data will be set back as well, you can't choose a single app to be restored from the backup.
