Can't Completely Uninstall an App That Doesn't Exist Anymore

Alright, so I've got a very run-of-the-mill, mid-2011 Macbook Air (1.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, running Yosemite) and everything really does run just fine. The only issue I've been having is completely eliminating traces of a particular app that actually doesn't exist anymore.
Some time ago, I downloaded a little To-Do List sort of thing called Intuition+. It was made to be a checklist, and also a planner that would integrate with Calendar. Not very long after I got the app, the company deleted it entirely. I did as much as I knew how to get rid of anything associated with it on my laptop, but it still shows up as a calendar option in Calendar.
Now, I know it's probably harmless, but it drives me nuts that I can't get rid of the **** thing 100%. It was called Intuition+. Any advice?
Apologies if I'm leaving out any info that might be helpful-- I've never posted here before, so let me know what I can do to help you help me 8)

So this is an app that you've downloaded from the iTunes store, not from the Mac App Store ? If it is then it should be in the Apps part of your iTunes library - if you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then option-command-S should enable the left-hand sidebar, and on that sidebar there should be an Apps section e.g.
But apps from the iTunes store can only be installed/used on iOS devices i.e. an iPhone, iPod Touch and/or an iPad (they will appear in your iTunes library for syncing and backup purposes) - you can't use iTunes apps on a Mac.

Deleting Review for an app that doesn't exist anymore.

So I went in to remove a review on an app, using "Manage my reviews". It went smooth. But lo-and-behold, in Ping the review is still there. I try to "Report A Concern". Then I get a "Request Cannot be completed, this item is not available in the US store."
Anything else I can try?

Ok. It seems like it got fixed. I guess slow propagation through the system.
Good to know.

How do I update apps under an old apple id email that doesn't exist anymore and have forgotten the password?

I want to update some apps on my iphone but can't because it's asking for an old apple id email that doesn't exist anymore and I have forgotten the password for it!
Help!!!

The apple id login is never deleted. The emaill address itself can be disabled or not in use any longer. The apple id login will still be available to you. If you will go to the website My Apple Id
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
and use the listed apple id login that your apps are asking for to update - once you have changed the password at the lsted website you then will be able to update using the old apple id once you have logged into the device using the old apple id and password.
Good luck.

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore. When chose for secret question brth date seems wrong. Can't reach anyone!!!

Hello, I got a new computer with the old harddisk. Can't play my itunes music because not authorised. Apple ID is very old e-mail adress that doesn't exist anymore and I forgot the password (5 years old??). When chose for secret question birth date seems wrong. Tried everything. I need to make a new apple-id but cannot connect the music that I bought under my old name to my new name. Can't reach anyone!!! Automatic FAQ system is of no help. What to do?

That doesn't help me. For itunes it brings me to the express lane which doesn't help because my case is not in it. It's all standard procedure things. I understand those but my situation is different. The combination of a passport forgotten and an non-existing email adress (and birth dates that are not correct or not accepted). What I need is my password emailed to another email adress than the original one because that no longer exists.

How to deauthorize a computer , that doesn't exist anymore?

I unisnstalled windows , and for some reason when i inserted my ipod to the freshly installed windows+itunes , and logged on my account , iTunes said , that its a new computer and asked me to authorize it , and so i did.
My question is: how can i deauthorize my old version of windows , that doesn't exist anymore?
I also have another question in this topic : When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?

Take a look at this Apple support article; it may help:
One computer using multiple iTunes Store authorizations
When i want to buy items from itunes from a new device , it asks for my bank card number , and takes 1-2 dollars from it. Is this ok?
I'm not sure what you mean by this. What "items"? If you are referring to music, videos or movies, you get only one download per purchase, so if you buy the items again, whether from another device or the same one, yes, you will be charged again. Only apps allow redownloading without additional charge.

I am trying to change the Apple ID on my old iPhone 5c but it wants a password for an old Apple ID with and email that doesn't exist anymore

MMy old iPhone 5c is wanting a password for logging into my apple account. The problem is that the email address its tied to doesn't exist anymore. I changed the email to a different one. But can't figure out how to change the email address on the phone to the new email address.

The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
If you don't remember the password, start here:

Tried to restore from backup but it's asking for my iCloud password for an email address that doesn't exist anymore. What do I do?

I had my phone replaced today and have tried to restore from the backup I made this morning. It didn't restore properly so I wanted to try again but I can't as it asks for my iCloud password for a non-existant email account. I changed my iCloud email about 6 months ago but my phone still thinks that is the correct email and I can't change it, can't reset my phone, can't do anything. What do I do?

I daughter's iPod touch is password locked and authorized to computer that doesn't exist anymore. i want to set it up on my iTunes but it won't recognize it because of the failed password attempts. what can i do?

My daughter's ipod touch is password locked and attached to a computer that doesnt exist anymore. i want to authorize it to my computer itunes account but itunes wont even read it due to the password failure. what can i do?

That's by design. The password is designed to protect the user's information and cannot be circumvented. You can restore it to "new" condition though, and sync it to your computer. The iPod Touch's content will be securely erased by doing this.
Refer to iOS: Unable to update or restore. Follow the instructions exactly as written.

How do I get into an account that has an email address that doesn't exist anymore?

Some background info:
Over the course of a decade I have downloaded a lot of songs with a bunch of different accounts. This all started way before home sharing and iCloud and all that jazz. Anyways, I was in middle school, so my songs came off my mom's account (which was a bellsouth email address). Later when we switched to Comcast she started using her Comcast email address and we downloaded songs off of that. Then when we stopped with comcast she started using a new address, and at this point I was able to just buy my own music so I created my own account. I think my sister has one too, which adds to the chaos.
Anyways, now I'm trying to transfer my songs from my iPod to my laptop, and I've figured out most of the account passwords except for one: the bellsouth password. I tried to reset the Apple ID password but when I entered my mother's birthday is told me I was wrong. I tried my siblings', mine, and my father's to see if for some insane reason she didn't use hers, but none of them would be accepted. I then went to the AT&T website and tried to log in to that account so that I could access the account with one of those password change emails, but it wouldn't let me for similar reasons. Basically I'm not sure that that email account even exists anymore.
This is an extremely frustrating issue. The songs have been purchased and paid for; why is it impossible to get them to play? Surely there's an easier way than this nonsense.
INB4: You should have just used one account, you should have used home sharing, etc.
Yeah, okay, great advice, lemme hop in my TARDIS and fix that.
I'll be honest, I have no idea how home sharing even works and haven't bothered to learn because, honestly, what's the point if I can't even log into the accounts? I'm not even sure that the bellsouth one is the only other one.

Sync error because of app that doesn't exist

Everytime I try to sync my iPhone 3Gs, I get an error that says...
There was a problem downloading the artwork for "Insert app name here".
Please try again by choosing "Check for Available Downloads" from the Store menu.
This app is not installed on my phone, it doesn't show up in iTunes on my app list, and it no longer exists in the App Store. I have OS 4.0 and my iTunes is updated. Because of this, I am completely unable to sync my phone and it is really getting annoying. Is there a folder or something I can get into to delete all traces of this app?

How can I reset a locked ipad that doesn't react anymore?

Hey guys!
i have a problem:
Yesterday all of a sudden my iPad didn't work properly anymore. At first it was flashing ins stripes with different colours. I tried to fix it by shutting the iPad down, but since it was flashing to much it was not possible to click on "shut down". Therefore i just locked it.
After a while I wanted to try again, but as i pressed the home button, the screen got a little lighter, but it didn't turn completely on. (The screen was almost black and you couldn't see any buttons or anything else). And now it even stays completely black and doesn't react to anything anymore.
I wanted to reset the iPad to get to know if it's a hardware or a software problem, but it is locked with a code and since it's not reacting anymore i can't enter it.
By now I've also never synchronised my iPad with my computer.
What can I do? Does anyone have an advice for me?
How can I reset my iPad without entering the Code in the iPad itself?
Thank you for your help everybody!

Hopefully you should be able to reset your iPad, therefore try this: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
The Apple logo ought to appear after about 10 seconds.
If you don't see the Apple logo, then this could be bad news.
Normally, the following instructions will resolve a forgotten passcode:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
But if you can't see anything on the screen, then it's bad news again.
If you have never synced your iPad with iTunes nor with iCloud, then you won't have a backup of your iPad either. Yes, more bad news, because the data on your iPad is most likely lost.
Try to get at least some life back into your iPad in order to save the data of your device via a backup.
Good luck!

How do I change an email address that doesn't exist anymore??

Long story short; years ago I had an iTunes accoun that I had to sign in with email. Never bought anything. Bought a new computer and decided to actually use my iTunes. Since I couldn't log into the old account I just made a new one on a Yahoo account that I would never need to use anyway aside from using it to create a new iTunes account. Call it what you want. Recently I just made the switch from the old account on iTunes to the new one, but my iPhone is still slaved to the old account. When I tried to log back into it on Yahoo I got a message that told me that, due to inactivity, the account had been deactivated and was currently being 'recycled', whatever that means. So basically before I made the switch, I could just easy peesy go to my phone and update an app with the old email account and iTunes password. But now that I've changed it, I can't download any updates. I'm dying. It's killing me, figuratively.

You can't without restoring the phone as new.

How do I get rid of a computer that doesn't exist anymore from my iTunes account? The old computer has been recycled with my iTunes acoount on my current desktop. I neglected to remove iTunes prior to being recycled.

I'm continuing to have major issues getting iTunes to recognized my son's iPod Touch. It was last sync'd to the old computer more than a year ago. I've backed up and updated all iTunes material; Uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled; confirmed other iPods will connect. The only issue I'm having is with my son's Touch.

If you're referring to authorization, you cannot deauthorize a computer to which you no longer have access. Unless you've reached the limit of five authorizations, that shouldn't be a problem. If you have reached five authorizations for that account, there will be a button in your iTunes Store account information that will allow you to deauthorize all systems associated with that account. Log into your Store account and you should see it. You can then reauthorize the computers you're using now.
I'm not sure what this would have to do with an issue with an iPod touch, though. Can you please explain that issue in more detail?
Regards.

Error Checking File System that doesn't exist anymore [Solved]

I had been dual booting Arch and Ubuntu on my desktop and recently decided to ditch ubuntu and experiment with slackware. I also decided to take advantage of the reinstall to clean up my partition scheme.
The old:
sda1 ntfs windows
sda2 fat32 shared data
sdba5 swap
sdb1 ext3 Arch's root
sdb2 ext3 Arch's home
sdb3 reiser Ubuntu home
sdb4 logical partition
sdb5 reiser Ubuntu's home
sdb6 ext3 used to be shared /boot, but only Ubuntu had been using it since last Arch reinstall
The new
no changes to sda or Arch's partions
sdb3 ext3 Slackware root
sd4 ext3 Slackware home
Slackware is working fine, but when I try to boot up Arch I can only get to where it checks the filesystem, sdb1 and sdb2 check clean, then it tries to check sdb5 and obviously isn't finding this to be clean. When it drops me to the terminal I my old partitions and sdb4 are clean. sdb3 gives me an error saying it can find the reiser journal (don't have the exact wording but it obviously thought this should be a reiserFS not ext3) but if I do fsck.ext3 instead of just fsck it says it's clean.
It's probably relevant that my last few boots before the slackware install were complaing that my ubuntu partitions weren't clean, which kind of confused me since I didn't even mount those in Arch but I didn't bother fixing it since I was planning on reformatting them when I installed slackware and I could still boot into Arch unlike now. I'm wondering if Arch is still complaining about them not being clean from before I reformatted.
Can someone help me convince Arch to let me boot again?

Have you changed fstab on Arch's root partition?
Use some LiveCD (even Arch's installation CD will do) to do so.

How to I get rid of an "Open With..." option that doesn't exist?

I've tried to find out how to remove an element of the "Open With..." options but don't seem to be getting much traction. I have an old application listed in the "Open With..." pull down menu that doesn't exist anymore, but when I select the file, using command-i, to change which application opens the file, it works for that file. I want to change association using the "Change All" button, but when I do that, the "dead" application becomes the default application again and I'm back to square one. Is this fixable? How do I get rid of the useless option? Will I have do do this for each file?

your link gave me a good starting place...
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -R -all -domain local -domain system -domain user
this seemed to do the trick... I would have never have solved this without your suggestion.
thanks.
