    why i cannot log in my account on ipad and oso cannot download app from ipad??

    I don't totally understand what you are trying to do. Do you have an Apple ID and have you registered a valid credit card with iTunes?

  • COMPLETELY remove app from ipad air?

    I recently installed an app on my ipad which later locked up while downloading a data file from the providers website.  So the app is stuck in the download.  I removed the app then reinstalled it.  It remembers that it was in a download and immediately tried to download the data file again and then locks up again.  How can I get it to "forget" where it was and get a clean reinstall?
    I've searched for similar issues and found discussion about removing the app from iTunes, so I will mention that this app does not appear in my iTunes library.
    The app also appeared on my wife's ipad via the cloud and seems to work normally so I know it is possible to function.
    Thanks for any insight!

    I've already tried that, to be clear though... The download done not fail, it reinstalls the app but it immediately attempts to download the file again all on it own, then locks up.
    Clearly, SOMETHING, is being retained on my ipad.  The app should not try do anything until I prompt it to and in fact didn't on the initial install.  It was after I originally attempted to do the file download that caused the lockup that I now cannot stop from happening when reinstalled.
    How can I make it behave like it did the first time?

  • Removed apps from iPad are resynced again with iTunes 11

    Hi all,
            I have the greatest problem
    I use itunes and I select the app I want to remove from the iPad app screen and I remove them "not from the itunes library"
    It removed but when I sync my iPad again, they are synced and installed.... And I have to remove them again from my device
    This problem occured since itunes 11 and not found with me before
    Is there any solution or an option I can make .. Rather than deleting the app from itunes library as I use the  with other devices

    OK.
    As Demo indicated, IDs unfortunately can not be combined.
    Decide which one you want to be "primary" and routinely remain logged on to that one on both the iPad and the computer.  That way, all new purchases will be on the primary and you won't be making the problem any worse.
    Change the password on one of the IDs so that both IDs use the same password.
    The difficulty is in app updates.  Both your iPad and iTunes on your computer will tell you that updates are available and it's possible to update them using either device (and a sync will update the other device).  However, it's a nuisance updating from iTunes because you most log out and back in again, get the update, and when finished log out and back in again to get back on your primary.
    Remember that the iPad is always logged in to the primary ID.  When the iPad tells you that updates are available, you either "select all" or choose one at a time for updating.  If you "select all," only those associated with the primary ID will be updated but sometimes you're lucky and that's everything.  The apps on the secondary ID will not have been updated and they should subsequently be selected one at a time for updating.  You will NOT need to log out and back in again!  All that will be necessary is to enter the password.
    If any of the above did not make sense, post back and I'll explain.

  • I cannot synch. songs from itunes to ipad 2 (have authorised computer). Also cannot tranfer apps from ipad to Mac despite authorising the computer. Any advice? Thanks.

    I cannot synch songs from itunes on my Mac to my ipad 2. It worked the first time, but stripped them off on a subsequent synch and I cannot get it to work again. It synchs apps but not music. Also, despite authorising my computer, synching strips off apps. purchased on the ipad (i.e., it will not transfer them to the Mac). All very mystifying. Any help gratefully received (I have tried everything on the troubleshooting page of the ipad guide).
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Apple devices are designed to only allow you to sync to one itunes library at a time. If you try, it will replace everything on the deivce with the itunes library you are syncing to.
    If she has already synced her ipad to another computer, then this is normal behavior.
    It would be best to create a library just for her. If you can import/export the music and photos on the computer into her own itunes library.

    The reason that content from her ipad is showing up on your iphone is probably due to you both sharing the same apple id and having automatic downloads turned on in the settings.
    You can turn this off by going to settings/itunes and app stores/automatic downloads/turn off

  • Cannot remove movies from ipad under normal conditions with itunes

    Have three films loaded into ipad mini but i cannot remove them. Two are in my musi/itunes/movies directory on my pc but a third is on the ipad but not on my portable. if I try to download them afresh from the itunes store they just get added again to the storage and i run out of memory. These fims seem to have been loaded in a pevious version of the ipad ios system.
    Is there any other way to get rid of them as connecting by usb only allows access to the photo library.

    ... it works. The problem was in front of the computer ...

  • Can't remove apps from ipad mini

    I touch an icon and keep holding but all apps’ icons won't start wiggling and displaying little white “x” sign in the small black circle at the top left corner.
    I can't remove apps or rearrange icons.
    Any advice.

    Is there anything I can do about it (except buying new one)?
    Do you know, is there any other limitation with Demo iPad?

  • Cannot remove music from iPad. Why?

    I need to remove music from my iPad to create space to import movies. However, via iTunes/Sync even though I uncheck the Sync Music box I find that the music remains on my iPad. What am I doing wrong?

    It should remove the music once you click on your phone in the left pane and go to the music tab at the top of the iTunes screen. I have tried this myself just now with my iPhone 4S. Once I deselected sync all music, the capacity bar at the bottom changed to show no music. If I had selected sync, all my music would have been removed from my phone.
    Since you removed the music from directly from the phone and not iTunes, once you connect to iTunes and sync, the same music will be synced back onto the phone.
    Try playing with the settings and see what you come up with. Also, try closing iTunes and restart your computer amd see if this fixes things.

  • Cannot transfer apps from iPad to new computer

    Hi, I recently bought a Macbook Air and have been trying to transfer the apps from my iPad 1 to it unsuccessfully. I've been struggling for over a week now and it started off well then stopped at an app, so I deleted it from the ipad, and then after that it would stop at the next app in the list. I've deleted like 11 apps so far from my iPad but it's not helping! I tried to transfer from iPad onto my old laptop (windows) and I realised it's stopping at the same app. I freed up space on the hard disk but still nothing. I've made sure that the itunes is authorised with the correct account and done everything. Rebooted the ipad and the computers.
    I can't upgrade to iOS5 untill I have all the apps installed. I'm making the Macbook my main computer and will eventually stop using the other laptop so am transferring everything over. I've done alot of searching on this forum and I haven't found a single solution to this issue. It's very very irritating. Could somebody please help me out here as I'm reaching the end of my tether.

    Try this, if you have not already.   Connect the pad to the computer.  In itunes on the mac, open the file menu on the top, and click on transfer purchases from......
    Then on the summary tab for your device, click on back up to this computer.
    If you have a bunch of pictures, open iphoto and bring those up while you are at it.
    Just to make sure everything is working, do a sync.
    Then, start the upgrade process.    You need to make sure your itunes version is 10.5, if you have not already done so.   Good luck.  The process can get frustrating when there are a lot of variables in play, such as wswitching computers.
    But once you get it right, the upgrade is fairly painless.

  • Will syncing delete a removed app from iPad?

    Some time ago I installed the "Simpsons Tapped Out" game on my iPad, which was removed some days later from the app store by the publisher because of performance problems. It still works and even got an update some days ago. But since the removal from app store, the app also doesn't appear in my iTunes app list anymore. What will happen now if I sync my iPad with iTunes (I haven't since)? Will the app be deleted from the iPad?

    If the app is not in your iTunes library and you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, yes.
    To copy the app to your iTunes library, with your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad.
    iTunes includes an option to automatically download apps purchased/downloaded direct with an iOS device. Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Store tab select Apps below Automatic Downloads. You can do the same for music and books.

    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.

  • Cannot remove app from site

    Hi team, 
    Please help me with this one,
    i install Yammer app for Sharepoint 2013 then when i try to upgrade to a new version, upgrade fails
    my next step was to uninstall the application but its stuck on  "we're removing your app..."  for a couple of days
    is there some procedure to force uninstall application? i try with powershell but the status is uninstaling 
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to uninstall the Yammer App in SharePoint.
    To uninstall the Yammer app, we can use the following PowerShell command.
    $yammerApp = Get-SPAppInstance –Web http://localhost | Where{$_.Title –like “Yammer”}
    Uninstall-SPAppInstance –Indentify $yammerApp
    http://books.google.co.in/books?id=a-T3AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA130&lpg=PA130&dq=uninstall+yammer+app+sharepoint+powershell&source=bl&ots=CvLlLKH_qI&sig=nWRAvuAcu1wKHTIhxQw81Uco4U8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6e7ZU7u3EoW68gW2uIDQCA&ved=0CCMQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=uninstall%20yammer%20app%20sharepoint%20powershell&f=false
    What’s more, I recommend you check with the ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred while uninstalling the Yammer app.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS
    Thanks & Regards,

  • How do I remove apps from my app store history after I have deleted them from my iPad?

    After trying an app and deciding that is isn't what I want and deleting it, I see that it still shows up when I look at my "purchased" apps in the App Store.  I'd like to purge them from my device's history.  I don't want them saved or backed up by iTunes, if that could even happen.
    Also, App Store on my iPad always shows on its icon that I have more updates than I can find when I  go into App Store.  For example it may show 2 updates available, but when I go into App Store it says all apps are updated, yet the icon still shows 2 when I return to the home screen.  Is this related to the issue above?
    Thanks,
    Bill

    There is no way to remove apps from your purchase history. It simply cannot be done. You can HIDE apps from the purchased tab, but you can NEVER delete them.
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Support - Apple
    As for the updates not clearing, try closing the App Store app and reboot your iPad,
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
