Can I remove the compass app?

The golfing powers that be have determined we can no longer use our Golf GPS apps in competition because Apple have a pre-installed compass on the phone. Hopefully if the golfers generate enough fuss about this then Apple will release a software update that allows its removal. Its not rocket science Apple... but it is already causing a major talking point.

Removing the compass app would not stop the compass working in Golf GPS apps. The compass is a hardware feature with software to view its output. The phone needs to know which way it is pointing to provide an accurate GPS view.

    can i remove the an app once placed in newstand?

    Tap and hold the app until all apps begin to wiggle. you should see an X in teh upper left corner of the app. Tap that.
    If you appear to be unable to delete any apps, it may be that restrictions have been set on the iPad preventing app deletion. Open the Settings app > General > Restrictions to check that.

  • Removing the social app 1.5 from N8 Belle

    How can I remove the Social app version 1.5 from my N8 Belle. Is there a component catalogue with descriptions what to delete in program manager?
    I don't need Social/Twitter/Facebook on my business phone especially when these apps are modifying my addressbook.

    You can go into Settings -> Installations -> Already installed and remove everything Social as I did
    But if you do this then you will always be "warned" that you have an update waiting for you!

  • Parental controls - how can I remove the preview of apps on the iTouch that aren't appropriate?

    We recently bought 2 itouches for our 8 and 10 year old -- how can I remove the preview of inappropriate apps from showing up on their screens?  I've set the security of apps at age 4+, but the previews are still showing up?  Any advice on how to remove?

    The only thing I can think of is to restrict the App Store.

    How can i remove the terms and conditions from my app store icon on iphone 5s

    Hello mrh1962,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with accepting Terms & Conditions on your iPhone 5s.
    First, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • An App I downloaded for my iPad was not what I thought it was going to be, can I remover the App and request a refund?

    An App I downloaded for my iPad was not what I thought it was going to be, can I remover the App and request a refund?

    You probably cannot get a refund, since as RG said the terms of sale for the iTunes Store state that all sales are final. You can contact the iTunes Store, explain the reason for your request, and ask, though:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    It's possible they'll make an exception for you, something more likely if the app does not perform as advertised.
    Good luck.
    Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.

  • How can I remove the 'apps' toolbar (the one below the bookmarks toolbar)?

    '''In FF4, how can I remove the 'apps' toolbar?'''
    (My computer screen is now smaller than before due to this new black strip. A 'right click' doesn't help. the "+" on the left only takes me to 'conduit'. I am not interested in this feature at all.)
    Thanks, Reg.

    I had the same problem and was able to remove the empty apps bar by doing the following:
    1. Click on Tools in Mozilla; 2. Click on Add-Ons; 3. Click on Extensions; 4. Look for an add-on called Conduit app; 5. Click to the right of Conduit app to Remove Conduit App; and 6. Restart Firefox: hooray - it's gone!

    My friend put cydia on my ipod and other stuff from it like something who slide your apps differently. How can I remove the both, I really want, plz help ...?

    They hacked it and may have caused damage to your device. Jailbreaking also voids your warranty and support from Apple. To restore to a clean state, restore in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • How do I remove the watch app from iOS

    I just updated my iOS and now have a watch app icon I can not remove.
    I don't want it there. I don't want an apple watch. I will not be buying an apple watch. It's a waste of memory on my device.
    My phone is not an advertisement space for the marketing of apple's products. I feel it's crossing a line now with the watch app.
    How do I remove this app from my iphone?

    You cannot remove the Watch app. It is a core app like Health, Weather, Compass, etc. Move it to the last page of your Home screens, or put it in a folder if you don't want to see it.
    Cheers,
