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.

  • HT201322 Completely remove app from iphone

    Hi, Can someone please tell me how i completely remove an app from my iphone 4s?
    The apps are in the Purchased History of the app store and i want to remove them from there, few people have said you cannot do this but you can hide them.
    Can anyone at least tell me how to hide them? I have deleted them because i dont want them so i am not bothered about losing them completely, and clicking the cross on the app only removes it from the home screen, also i have tried going into itunes to view my purchased apps on there but this list people keep mentioning that appears on the left hand side when you click apps does not appear on mine, i have tried checking the settings and still cannot find a way to see these apps and delete them from itunes. Please can someone help me resolve this. Thanks

    You can't currently permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you can hide them so that they are less visible (they won't show in the Purchased tab unless you unhide them) - if you folllow the instructions for hiding them via your computer's iTunes as described on the page that you posted from then they should get hidden (you can't currently hide them directly on an iOS 6 device) i.e.
    on your computer's iTunes select the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page. That should show you a screen where you can select Apps at the top of it to display a list of your purchased/downloaded apps (those that are still in the store and not hidden) - if you hover your mouse pointer over an app that you want to hide then it should get an 'x' appear on it, click that to hide it

  • 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?

  • 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.

    How can I completely remove iMessage from a iPad (generation 2)?  I know how to turn off iMessage on the iPad but I don't want this iPad to know my iPhone number at all.  Thanks.

    You can't. Default Apple Apps cannot be removed. If you sign out of your Apple Id in Settings->Messages->Send & Receive->Apple ID then the iPad will have no knowledge of your Phone number.

  • How can I remove apps from my iPad

    How can I remove apps from my iPad? It does not have the little "x" option on the iPad like the iPhones.

    It works just the same as an iPhone. A long hold on an icon will cause them all to start wobbling, drag to move around or tap the X to remove.You can't remove any of the built-in apps so these won't get an X to tap.

  • When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder.  When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

    When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library.  When I hit "apply" I got this message:
    Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad.  This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
    (By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
    Thanks for your help - Pat

    I have the same problem.  I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad -  clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad.  WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

  • TS1702 How we can remove/un-install an app from iPad?

    Can someone tell that how to remove the installed app from iPad?

    Press and hold any of the apps on your homescreen 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'

  • How can I permanently remove apps from my ipad, iphone and ipod (which are in icloud)?

    How can I permanently remove apps from my iphone, ipad, ipod operating in the iCloud?

    Apps don't operate in the cloud - they're either downloaded to your device, or they're in your Purchased list. You can't permanently remove the history of apps you've purchased, but you can hide them. See this link:

  • 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.
