HT201269 will a restore delete apps that are on the new phone

I just got an iphone 5 and they lady turned it on and synced my contacts. My question is, will the backup saved from my iphone 3 delete the new apps that come with the 5? Will it delete these or will it add my old apps to the new one?

It wont delete the preinstalled Apps of the iPhone 5 if that's what you are wondering.
You can safely restore from the 3G backup and get all your apps onto the new phone.
Alternatively, assuming you use the same apple Id you can simply redownload them form them from the purchased tab in iTunes on the new phone.

TS1702 deleting apps that are not updated

deleting apps. clash of clans, won't update properly and I want to delete it off app store

the basci funcationality of the application is very similar toits website.
That is the problem. Add additional functionality so the app does more than the web site. Otherwise what is the point of the app?

My iTunes cant sync apps that are iPad/iTouch apps. (to iTouch)

Well I Bought Garageband. When I Sync it doesnt appear.

It won't unless a problem occurs. Back them up, uninstall iTunes and all related components, and reinstall them.

How do I delete apps that I've downloaded that are duds?

How do I delete apps that are duds?

Thanks JimHDK. I forgot to mention these duds are in my history of apps. The duds take up a lot of the listings and i'd like to no longer see them (for re-open or use). I do understand and use the feature you mentioned.

How do i delete apps on itunes ??? i went to the library and it only shows a few apps that i have. But when i go into my account i can see all of the apps i have downloaded. soooo how do i delete the apps that are only showing in my account?

How do I delete an app on iTunes? I can delete the apps that are shown in the library of iTunes by right clicking and hitting "delete". But all of my apps aren't shown in the library (I don't understand that either). I can see all downloaded apps in my account though. But I don't see how to delete them from there.

If you plug in your iphone, click on it in iTunes, and go to the apps section, it should be checked to sync apps if you want them to show up in iTunes as well as your iPhone. Once synced they will show on both.
Then if you click Apps under the Library header in the left panel of iTunes, you'll be able to permanently delete apps, removing them entirely from iTunes. Highlight an app's icon or a group of icons by holding down Shift and hit the delete key (or select Edit > Delete from the top menu or right-click on an icon and selecting delete).

You cannot drag pics from computer to iphone. This has never been a feature of iphone.
You sync them as you would anything esle.
You select photos from the photos tab. Whatever is selected will be on your iphone. Anything not selected will not be. Make sure that everything you want on your iphone is selected, then sync.

After clearing cash on my mac ( Go to folder: ~/Library/Caches and clear all, than to Library/Cashes and clear all again) applications won't lunch any more..I tried to delete apps like VLC player, firefox.. with app cleaner and again download and install the new one but it's the same..goes for all apps that are not originally part of Yosemite. I have done this cash clean up very often on Maverick without any problems. This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

How do I mange the apps that are on my cloud and not on my device. Second how do you delete things off my cloud that are old and taking up space

How do I manage my storage on my cloud. For example getting rid of old apps that are no longer on my device but still in the cloud

Hi Bryan,
The only thing in iCloud are the backups that you have done for your device. Three backups are usually saved, with the oldest one deleted when you do the next one.
You may be getting iCloud confused with iTunes in the Cloud. All of your iTunes and App Store purchases are stored in iTunes in the Cloud so that you can re-download them at a later time if you wish. This is not iCloud and has no effect on your iCloud storage.
However, if you wish to manage what is backed up to iCloud, you can go to Settings>General>Usage and under the iCloud section click on Manage Storage. This will take you to a screen that shows what devices are backing up to iCloud and what settings you have turned on. If you click on a device, it will take you to a detailed screen that has a list of Apps and data that you are backing up. You can selectively turn them off or on. You can also delete older backups if you wish.
Cheers,
GB

Need help on downloading apps that are more than 20MB in size

I can only download apps less than 20MB in size. If i want to download others that are larger than 20MB, i have to use wifi... But after I connected my phone to my home network and clicked on the app, I am still unable to download it... The only message that pops up is to prompt me to connect to wifi.... but I thought I have connected it already??! So now the apps are grey in colour and stuck at the "loading" stage... Does anyone know how I can solve this problem? Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your answer... yups you are right, i went to the app store on the phone and the downloads started again.
I have one that is 22MB, one 124MB and one 36MB.... but i have tried to download those which are above 40MB but they can work... I don't know what happened to thes 3 apps...
Oh my, I have just started using iphone for 2weeks and i dun suppose my phone is out of space already?!! currently there are less than 40apps...
And the problem is i can't delete these apps that are stuck? when i press and hold, there is no "cross" at the top left hand corner... and i tried to uncheck the boxes in itunes to "un-sync" them.... but the apps remain greyed out on my phone... do you have any other ways to delete them?
Thanks alot!

My screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are openfreezby double clicking on the home button and closing them. I have held down on the home button and start button simultaneously and it still freezes. Can someone out the help me?

MY screen continually freezes up. I've tried closing all apps that are open and have held down the home button and start button simultaneously but neither helped. Can someone out there help me?

Well the next couple of things to try would be to reset all settings, and if that doesn't help, it's probably time to restore the iOS software.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. That will take all settings on the iPad back to factory defaults. It will not delete anything and you will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all settings again ...WiFi passwords, enable Siri, select your wallpaper, adjust brightness, turn on location services and set privacy settings, etc, etc.
You can read about restoring the software here.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Support - Apple
Should you decide to restore the iOS, it is extremely important that you back up first so that you can restore from the backup and then sync with iTunes afterward in order to restore all content back to the iPad. It is all covered in the kb article.
If you do not sync with iTunes, then I assume that you backup with iCloud. In that case you can erase the device in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Once again, backing up with I loud is I,operative before you do this so that you can restore from the iCloud backup after you erase the iPad and start over again with activation.
You should read this first before you restore from either backup.

This is a must read before you erase the iPad should you decide to go that route.

HT202213 I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my home sharing account, how do I do this?

I need to delete computers that are no longer active from my itunes Home sharing account so that I can sign up the new computers. I am using a Mac laptop. The computers that were previously linked to the Homesharing are no longer available, they have been wiped and are not in the house anymore. Does anyone know how to do this?

The apps aren't stored in your personal iCloud account and don't use any of your storage. They are only stored in the App store. The iCloud symbols are only links to your previous purchases in the App store so you can download them again. If you don't want to see certain apps, you can hide them in iTunes on your computer as explained here: iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases. Once hidden in iTunes, you should no longer see them on your phone.

How do you remove non-App Store apps that are not in Applications from Launchpad?

Hi, this is my first post to the Apple forums...
     So, I use the Steam game app a lot to manage my different games on my computer. Recently, I cleaned out the games I no longer wanted or had lost interest in, and all of their files, INCLUDING the .app files stored in Application Support, were successfully deleted. But, Steam also automatically adds app shortcuts to the Launchpad when you download a game, which is an option I always left checked during the download process- because why not, right?
     The problem is that now, even after completely deleting ALL TRACE of these apps, they remain on my Launchpad. Just keeping them there isn't a solution; as a very neat, organized person, it would annoy me to the end of time to have random apps on my Launchpad that don't do anything. And since these apps aren't from the App store, they don't have an (X) in the upper left hand corner when you hold down on them.
     I don't know tons about Macs, but after a quick scan of things online people have recommended deleting all the files for your Dock under Application Support, because apparently Launchpad is based on your dock. But that doesn't sound right to me. I thought Launchpad was based on Applications? Again, I'm more savvy with Windows but I just got this thing a year ago so I'm doing what I can.
     On a side note, these game applications were stored in a folder titled "Games", which was originally identical within both Applications and Launchpad. Once I began deleting apps from the folder in Applications, however, they got stuck in the folder within Launchpad.
     I also cannot move Game Center out of the folder in Launchpad, and when I do so it says "This app cannot be modified/deleted", even though I originally had Game Center outside of the folder.
Computer specs:
MacBook Pro 15 Inch (mid 2009)
Running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) [I updated just last night, I had been running 10.9 before and still had this problem]
Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB

I found the following in the Macbook Help, and the last bullet worked for me.
"You can uninstall apps you got from the Mac App Store, from other websites, or from discs. You can’t uninstall apps that are part of OS X, such as Safari and Mail.
Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, hold down an app’s icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, then click an app’s delete button . If you later want the app, you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, it can’t be uninstalled in Launchpad. For more information about Launchpad, see Use Launchpad to view and open apps.
Apps that have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. If an app is inside a folder, it might have an Uninstaller. Open the app’s folder. If you see Uninstall [App] or [App] Uninstaller, double-click it and follow the onscreen instructions.
Apps that don’t have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. Drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, then choose File > Put Back.WARNING: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your Mac. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them."

How do I get rid of the three SEO apps that are now on my computer?

I'm not into internet marketing-building websites etc., at this time. I would like to remove the SEO apps that are on my desktop etc. I believe there are three of them, and I don't need them.

To: the-edmeister,
Thanks for your efforts. Close, but no cigar (lol). I'm very familiar with deleting programs from the Programs directory. However, this app wasn't to be found there. Seems it's a tool bar that you get free from SEOBOOK.COM. There's three parts to it: RankChecker, SEOQuake, and SEOBook. I'm going to contact SEOBook to see if I can solve the problem. I got the initial offer from Mozilla, if I'm not mistaken. Otherwise I wouldn't have looked at it. It's a great resource if you're into building sites and marketing on the net. Thanks, again, for your reply.
