Can't Remove Spam App

Hi,
My daughter accidentally installed an app on her iTouch that obviously is not age-appropriate. I know you can remove apps on the desktop (e.g. hold the app down, they all shake, and then you deleted the ones you want), but again, this app is not on the desktop.
This app (which is covertly called just, "Game") is only found when she goes to the search menu and types in "Game". She does have a lot of apps (I think 11 pages worth). Is there a maximum number of pages that can be displayed? I tried deleting to a few of the non-essential apps to see if it would then show up, but no luck so far.
I also reluctantly synched the iTouch with iTunes, but the app is not showing up. It's definitely a program - when you select it, it pulls up a program with advertising, etc.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.

She has more apps installed on there than you think. Since you can see 11 pages of apps then I can assume that you have a 3rd Generation iPod Touch. 11 pages is the maximum it will display. Since you have more apps than what 11 pages can accommodate, that and possibly some other apps do not appear unless you search for them.
This app is not synching with iTunes either and therefore makes it difficult to find and delete given the circumstances. The only thing that I can recommend at this point is to keep deleting some apps until you are on page 11 and moving to page 10. If the rogue app appears while still on page 11 then delete it.

  • How can I remove an app that someone else downloaded on my device with their Apple ID

    Drag the app icon out of the Apps folder and drop it in the Trash. If you want to make sure that you got all associated files use a deletion app such as AppCleaner.
    Hi Dah.veed
    I read your advice to uninstall an app.using AppCleaner.This seems confusing.When I check the file location to see the total package contents,the file shows considerable more MB's than when I use AppCleaner and not near as much.Using AppCleaner would mean I would be leaving a considerable amount of residual garbage.Why is the AppCleaner not cleaning everything out.If i was to delete from the file location and send it to trash,would I be deleting support files.
    Thanks for your help.

  • TS1702 How can I remove an app I no longer want?

    How can I remove an app I no longer want?

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • 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 an app?

    How can I remove an app when no x's are shown when they wiggle?

    If no X shows then the App is a built-in iOS App and can't be removed.

  • 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!

  • HT4009 How can I remove/delete apps I have downloaded in iTunes?

    Hi,
    How can I remove/delete apps I have downloadedin iTunes?
    I have the Lite versions that I try and then buy the PRO version.
    Now all the LITE's are cluttering my account.
    Also some of the apps that I downloaded are not required/wanted now. Can I delete them?
    Thanks

    You can delete them from your computer's iTunes and/or from your device, but you can't currently permanently delete them from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding (the ability to hide items directly on a device doesn't appear to work in iOS 6)

  • How can I remove updated apps on app store page after they are updated and say open?

    HOW CAN I REMOVE UPDATED APPS FROM UPDATE PAGE ON IPAD3 IOS7 AFTER THEY ARE UPDATED AND SAY OPEN?

    You don't.
    Apple has instituted auto updating , this is a feature for users to check what has updated recently.
    The open button opens the app.
    It will keep a rolling list, about 20-3O days back.

  • Can I remove Mail.app and retain Thunderbird functionality?

    MacBook Pro 15" Retina, 500g drive, 8g ram. VM with Parallels 8/Win7 and Bootcamp with the identical Win 7 installation.
    Nearly two months after receiving my lovely MacBook in October last year, my Mail app quit receiving mail. I could send, but nothing came in. Pop3 accounts on digital cable service.
    I asked about it here and was answered with the recommendation to use Thunderbird. No looking back, it's great. I have used it before on Win XP long ago, but didn't have server based e-mail accounts then so I used it as the prime client on a Toshiba machine. Since then, I have started a website and am allowed ten e-mail accounts so I just go to the server or use Thunderbird. Thunderbird out of convenience, and the server if I am not at home on my network. I won't go into it here. A Charter Communications issue.
    So, here is the question, and the subject asks the same thing. Can I remove Mail.app from my machine and retain functionality in Thunderbird? Additionally, can I remove Mail.app and reinstall it from here if I desire to test it or end up with issues if I do remove it?
    The reason I want to do this is due to clicking on e-mail links and having Mail open and ask me to set it up. I have no desire or need to use it. I have been copy/pasting the link, but I am really tired of it. I want to click and see Thunderbird go to work for me.
    So, another question, how do I get all xxxx@xxxxx,com/net/org links to open Thunderbird instead of Mail if that is a better solution?
    Thanks gang,
    Kelly J.
    BTW, I looked around the boards and found nothing even close to this. I posted to this board because it seems to be the right place for this issue since it is a system app.

    Trying that now. I'll post my address here and try it. Back in a minute.
    Yes sir. That's the ticket. Thanks for the help. I had to create an account to get mail to open fully, but I can delete it.
    Thanks again.
    Kelly J.

    P.S. It still works after deleting the account. Thunderbird takes the command.
    Thanks.

  • HT1338 how can I remove an app store app from 10.6.8

    I downloaded an app from the appstore and want to remove it, but it remains in the "installed" state in app store. How can I remove it from the app store's idea of what's installed?

    It's a desktop app, the only kind available from the appstore, as I indicated in my original post. Also, as indicated in the original post, dragging to the trash removes it from my system, but not from the Appstore's notion of what's installed. The Appstore still thinks it's installed. That's the problem. It's a hygiene issue.

  • Can't remove expired apps from memory card

    I have an N73 and had some applications with a developers certification installed to my memory card. I then did a firmware upgrade. Now every time I start the phone it wants to install these applications but fails and tells me to upgrade via the Application Manager. In the Application Manager these apps are listed as uninstalled, if I try to remove them it fails due to expired certificate (which is probably true). But I can't remove them either, and haven't found any files to delete browsing the card. Suggestions? 

    This worked for one app--actually I could install it and after resetting the clock it still runs fine. Didn't think the certificate mechanism was so unintelligent.
    One app didn't work anyway, it might've gotten corrupted. Found I could mount my memory card to my desktop and search for the application code, which was listed in the Application Manager, and manually delete all references to it. 

  • Can't remove an app from my Iphone

    I have an iPhone 4s, updated to the latest iOS
    I recently updated some apps on my iPhone, all of them bar one updated normally. The app in question was 'updating' for around three days, stuck at 3/4 of the way through updating. There were were no interruptions during the updating and like I said, all the other apps updated normally. After around three days I tried a hard reset of my phone to see what would happen. As soon as my phone came back on and I tapped the app, it started 'updating' again, and went 3/4 of the way before stopping again.
    So I tried deleting the app. The name at the bottom of the app went, but the actual app icon stayed. If I tap and hold it the shaky 'x' comes up to delete the app, but it just says "Deleting " " will also delete all of it's data." it doesn't display the name of the app, and again, the actual icon doesn't go.
    If I go back to the appstore, it says I can redownload the app from the store (with the cloud and arrow button) and if I press that, once again the app highlights that it's loading, but stops around 3/4 of the way.
    So then I connected to itunes on my laptop and tried to remove it that way. Even though on the screen/shelf view of my phone on  itunes it shows that the app is there, if i try searching for it though itunes isn't showing the app, and on itunes there's no 'x' that comes up when I hover over the app, like it appears on the others.
    I can't think of another way to delete the app, but I want it gone from my phone. If I can't remove it from my phone using itunes, and can't remove it from my actual phone, how else can I get rid of it. I've turned my phone on and off, I've hard reset, I've closed all the apps in the background... I can't think of anything else.

    So, what's the App called?

  • Sharepoint can't remove / uninstall app

    Trying to deploy apps.
    my app failed to install, going to the fly out, details, install error is "the remote hosting service is not configured. Details: unable to obtain master key"
    deploying using visual studio 2012
    there is no option in the fly out for deleting the app.
    tried to remove app with powershell, using cmd Uninstall-SPAppInstance –Identity $appInstance -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable err;
    this didn't work, and upon running now gives error msg 'another job exists for this app instance. Please retry after that job is done'
    Have tried the work around (which isn't a fix at all) of changing productID# in the appmanifest. This works to get me moving forward, but still need a solution how to delete the previous app that didn't install correctly.
    anyone have ideas? Thanks
