Bizzare behavior-Settings remain after app deletions

My problem seemed to begin a few weeks ago when the SuperDuper script wouldn’t run overnight. After contacting them, I ran Cocktail, deleting logs, caches, repairing permissions, and rebuilding the launch services database. Then I uninstalled recent apps: HyperDock, TotalFinder, and a haxie, WindowShade X.
More or less took care of that problem, but now a new and bizarre problem has sprung up. Despite deleting WindowShade (and the others using CleanApp), its behaviors remained. For example double-clicking a title bar rolls it up, which only WS can do. I tried setting my Logitech Control Center(yes, I know-it s#*ks) settings for the diNovo Mac Edition keyboard to use standard function keys, but pressing a function key opens the app I assigned in LCC prior to that.
I have a feeling that the problem has something to do with LCC, as recently the Logitech Revolution MX wireless mouse only works when the receiver dongle is plugged into ONE USB port only-top port on the front of my Mac Pro. Tried it with a spare mouse and receiver, and get the same behavior.
Is there anything short of a complete erase/reinstall of 10.6/update that I have overlooked? If I have to go that route is there anything I can migrate over that is safe other than network settings and applications. I’m afraid the problem is in my User folder and am leery of that. Thanks for any advice.
By the way, I do have a Time Machine disk, but have had poor luck when trying to roll back something in /Users/Library in the past.

After posting I did exactly that. Downloaded the installer for both (I had uninstalled APE earlier) then ran uninstall even though both were gone from SysPrefs. Solved both the WS and LCC problems. I'll certainly miss it. Thanks for the suggestion in case I hadn't come across it.

Not enough storage even after app deletion and reset

I've deleted all of the apps and have cut down on the music and yet it still says I've used 12.6 GB with 1.2 left over. I had a ton of apps before (my kids games mostly) and even with them gone I get the message that I don't have enough. I also deleted all of the pictures. I reset the ipad completely and yet it still tells me I have only 1.2 GB left. How can this be?

How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

I accidentally restored my iPhone to factory settings. All apps deleted. When I log into Game Center ios7 using Apple ID, it loses all my data and my nickname says that it is already in use when I am the one using it. How do I get my old progress back?

If I could log in to Game Center ios7 using my nickname then it would be fine but I am unable to figure out any way of doing it this way

Restore the device from the most recent backup (prior to restoring as new) to put everything back the way it was.

After I deleted App still in location services in Mountain Lion?

After I deleted Evernote a couple of days later I was going through my Security & Privacy settings and I noticed it was still their under Privacy>Location Services so I looked and I had deleted App with TrashMe... So why is Evernote not deleted from my Location Settings?

That doesn't happen automatically. If you're an advanced user, you can follow the instructions linked below to delete the entry.

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6. In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings. After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "manage local device storage usage." How?

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6. In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings. After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "Cannot Download. There is not enough available local storage to download these items. You can manage your local device storage usage in Settings."
How can this be the case when I haven't changed any apps from before updrading to iOS6, and I don't have any music yet on the phone? Why is it telling me there is not enough local space?

Hi RileyAvaCadenRiver,
If you recently updated your iPhone to iOS7, you will need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1 or newer for it to correctly recognize the iPhone. You may find the following link helpful:
Apple: iTunes 11.1.1

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?

How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
Thanks for ur answers !

You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

How can I re-sync my iPhone and iPad after accidentally deleting my iTunes library (without losing all of the apps on my devices)?

Long story short: A sequence of bad decisions on my part caused me to delete my entire iTunes library (song files, apps, itl file, everything in the music folder). Another bad decision left me without a Time Machine backup of this folder. I have a backup of my music and I can redownload audiobooks from Audible, so I'm not stressed out about my audio.
The problem is my iPhone and iPad. I've downloaded >400 apps and have over 100 on each device. How can I begin syncing them to this new, app-free library without having every app deleted (along with their organization, settings and related-documents). I use these devices heavily so this is a huge conundrum for me.
The next step would seem to be to restore my audio files to a new iTunes library, but how do I then sync my devices to that library without wiping out every app on my iDevices? I'm a pretty technical user and am willing to hand edit the ITL files if necessary. I think that i _may_ be able to find a version of the itl file that's about a year old from an ancient backup. But that still doesn't solve the whole problem.
Thank you,
Spencer

I managed to lose an earlier reply I'd started before you came back with your "solved" so I didn't bother to retype it.
It went something like this:
You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into an authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup.
The older .itl file is useful however as iTunes should see this as the "home" library for your device which will allow you to preserve the application settings. (.itl file? Mac? I assume the library has migrated from PC to Mac at some point). Any files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder or did you kill those as well? The most recent of these would be the best place to start.
And no, the .itl file is not editable by mortals...
Once you've restored the media from backups or recovered whatever else you useful can from the device, the scripts MusicFolder Files Not Added and Super Remove Dead Tracks should help get the library up to speed with the contents of the media folder.

In your mail list, do you see the word 'edit'? If you choose that then you can select whatever mails you want gone and delete them at once.

Podcast headers remain after deleting usnig the swip method added in 2.2

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch with firmware 2.2 and I am able to delete podcasts with the swip method and it says it deletes them and they are removed from the list.
The problem is that if I shut the touch off and turn it back on, all of the podcasts I deleted are back in the list. They are still deleted because if I try to open one I get an error. It is really annoying that they reappear in the list even though they are deleted. I have to use iTunes to completely remove them from the list.
Anyone else have this problem and is there a fix for it?
Thanks

That is strange and beyond me then. All I know is that after 2.2 arrived I stopped downloading podcasts on my computer and syncing to my Ipod and instead downloaded direct to my Touch via Wifi. At the time, I had some podcasts on my Touch that originated via a previous computer sync. It was these Podcasts that reappeared as what I called "phantom" podcasts after deleting directly on the Touch and powering down and then restarting.
As I said, they kept reappearing no matter how often I deleted, however after I removed them from my computer resident iTunes and then resync'd the Touch they stopped reappearing.
I also note that if you have any Wifi direct podcasts on your Touch and you sync it with iTunes, it will automatically transfer these podcasts to your computer resident iTunes and I found that these titles would also continue to reappear after being deleted on the Touch until again they were deleted from the computer resident iTunes and resync'd with Touch.
So, all I can say is since I have adopted this processure I have no more phantom podcast titles reappearing after powerdown.

Yes ... from your iPhone.
Hopefully you have them backed up somewhere.

Quicken 07 remains after Archive and Install?

Will the Quicken 07 application AND all my accounts remain after doing Archive and Install? I mean, will they be up and ready to use or need to be located in a folder and re-installed?

On an "Archive and Install", you have the option to save user data and network settings. This will copy all your user data into the home directory on the new install, and make the install process as seamless as possible. Applications are copied over as well, I believe, but if they're not they are left in the "Previous System" folder and you can copy them over manually and test them out. I believe "Quicken" is one of those applications where you just drag it to the applications folder to install it. As such, it should migrate to the new system easily and be up and running without the need to reinstall it. Most apps that require reinstalls are those that put extensions and plug-ins into the system folder (Adobe CS3, for example). Some things to keep in mind:
Corrupt preference files can cause applications to run funny or not at all. If an app doesnt behave normally then remove the preference file for that application from your user library. Corrupt preference files can happen during an install, so its good to be aware of the possibility they might crop up.
In a similar manner as corrupt preference files, sometimes the install process can change the permissions on files and folders, which will result in the same funky behavior. Using Disk utility to fix permissions BEFORE and AFTER the install will greatly reduce the probability of this being an issue.

Why are my emails coming back to my inbox after I delete them?

After I delete emails off of my phone they come back into the inbox the next time I go to my email. Does anyone know what I can do to keep them off my phone once deleted?

Your email account must be a POP type, and you have it set NOT to delete the email from the server when deleting from your inbox. The email remains on your server and gets sent to your inbox again when it's remove from there. POP accounts are not designed to send to more than one email client.
