Default apps balloon in storage usage, want to remove

Moved for greater exposure

What about the data? Is there any way that I could disable them from starting or otherwise prevent them from collecting data in their idle state and making my phone operate sub-standardly?
It seems like I am not getting the phone I paid for if the thing is crippled by not having any storage space due to a bunch of applications that are being forced down my throat. This makes me reconsider doing business with Verizon. Do other carriers similarly cripple your phone right out of the gate?

  • Suddenly all my apps is not opening .i didn't do any thing only my default apps are opening

    suddenly all my apps is not opening .i didn't do any thing only my default apps are opening may i want to reinstall the apps??

    Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

  • I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "manage local device storage usage." How?

    I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6.  In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings.  After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "Cannot Download.  There is not enough available local storage to download these items.  You can manage your local device storage usage in Settings."
    How can this be the case when I haven't changed any apps from before updrading to iOS6, and I don't have any music yet on the phone?  Why is it telling me there is not enough local space?

    Hi RileyAvaCadenRiver,
    If you recently updated your iPhone to iOS7, you will need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1 or newer for it to correctly recognize the iPhone. You may find the following link helpful:

  • Don't Want Mail App as a Default app

    If I am answering an email on yahoo or hotmail or gmail and I click a "mailto" link, Mail pops up as the default app as opposed to me being able to respond inside whatever I am presently using. How do I keep this from happenning? Thanks for the help to all who respond to this.
    Louis

    Ernie,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Well I am not trying to use any e-mail clients at this moment. All I am doing is using hotmail, or yahoo mail for e-mail. This little problem happens only when I click on an embedded link inside of an email that I recieved, that is prompting me to repond via email, i.e. "click here to email tech support". If I do this the Mail client in OS X comes popping up when all I wanted was the "compose email" section of yahoo or hotmail to actually come up so I can type the email. Does this help clarify my issue? Thanks again for your help.

  • Trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings

    trying to update apps on iphone and getting error message, there is not enough available local storage to download these items. you can manage your local device storage usage in settings. What am I to do?

    The storage you purchased is in the cloud, and doesn't do anything with your pad.  Your problem is simply that you have too much content on your pad.   Go to settings, general, usage, and it will show you how much space you have avaliable on your pad.  If you let the screen sit for a while, all the apps will be displayed, and you can see how much stuff you have associated with each.
    You have to no option but to delete some of the content on your pad.  Videos, comics, pitcures and some music files use a lot of space.   The cloud allows you to leave stuff there, so you can get it when you need it.

  • The new Yosemite Photos app local storage usage question

    Hi,
    Did anyone check the local storage usage for the new Photos on Yosemite?
    How much space does it take for all the lores photos locally if the originals are stored in iCloud.
    Lets say if 100GB of RAW files are migrated from Aperture in to Photos to cloud. This should be 100GB in the cloud and how much on OS X?
    Can a RAW file still be downloaded from cloud later or are they transformed to jpgs once uploaded?
    What if there is not enough storage for all lores photos on iOS or OS X representing all the original iCloud photos?
    I'm really puzzled about this.
    Thanks

    I just installed the Yosemite upgrade with Photos.  I don't use Aperture of the iCloud, but the iPhotos library migrated with about the same disk space, but it is doubled, because the old iPhoto library is still on disk.

  • IPhone 6 plus storage usage spikes over 30GB

    I have an iPhone 6 plus 64GB. iOS 8.2.
    SInce the 8.2 update, my phone has been giving me a notifcation saying that it has low storage. When I look at my usage, I have 5GB of photos, 2 GB of music and various smaller apps under 1 GB. The available storage number is small or even 0kb. After I close all of my apps, the available storage spikes to about 35GB!
    Any ideas as to what is going on and how to fix it?

    Hey vinedine,
    I would suggest reviewing your storage usage in iTunes to get another perspective of the data that is being stored on your iPhone.    See the "View storage usage for your iOS device in iTunes" in the article below.  
    Take a look at your Mail and Messages apps.  Many times, the photo and video attachments in those applications can take a lot of space on your device.
    See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201656
    If your device is near its capacity or you get an alert that your storage is full, you can remove some of your less used content to make room for more.
    iTunes displays how much space the selected songs, videos, audiobooks, and apps use in the status bar on the bottom of the screen. You can also see this information by selecting an item and then choosing File > Get Info. The size is available in the Summary tab.
    You can transfer or sync content to your computer from your device. If you want to remove certain types of content from your device, learn how to manually manage content using iTunes.
    Hope that helps ...

  • In Elements 13, how do I turn off default setting that sends my usage info to Adobe?

    In Elements 13, how do I turn off default setting that sends my usage info to Adobe?
    Vendors of proprietary software want to track everything you do.  Adobe says that it is possible to turn off sending info to them, but doesn't include any info on how to do it.

    Go to the main page of adobe.com and sign in if you aren't already signed in, then click Manage Account>Sign In again>Security & Privacy>Desktop App Usage Information.

  • How to gain more storage (usage) space (like GBs) back my iPad?

    I deleted apps off my iPad but I still see that the used GB isn't back on here..... I want to know how do I get back my space?

    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • IPad video storage usage does not match what iTunes displays

    When viewing the storage usage for my iPad mini through iTunes, I noticed "Other" was at 19.45 GB. I thought this was a little strange since I am somewhat familiar with the type of data that is categorized under "Other". When I checked the storage usage through settings on the iPad itself I saw "Videos" was at 18.2 GB, however there are no Videos synced to my iPad. Also, when I check the "About" page in settings, again on my iPad, it shows there are 10 videos. Again, I have no actual Videos on my iPad. If I check the Videos app the only Videos that are displayed are the Videos that I have purchased, but they have not been downloaded to my iPad. ALL the videos within the Videos app have the cloud icon meaning they are available for download from iCloud.
    I am wondering if "Other" is so large because the iPad is saving space to stream these videos, which I have done quite a few times. Most of the time I will stream the videos purchased through the iTunes Store, instead of downloading them, to help save space.
    Here is a screenshot of my iPad's storage usage through iTunes. Notice there is no purple bar for videos, but "Other" is huge.
    This is a screenshot of the storage usage directly from my iPad. However, there are currently no videos synced to my iPad. The only videos in the Video app are displayed with the iCloud icon.

    I have noticed there is a difference between tapping the cloud icon and tapping the video itself. When I tap the video itself it begins to play, and seems to behave as if it is "streaming". Once the video is done or stopped playing the cloud icon remains. When I actually tap the cloud icon it begins to download, and once the download is complete the cloud icon disappears.
    After I read your response I had an idea and turned off Wi-Fi on my iPad. I then opened the Videos app and suddenly all the videos disappeared EXCEPT for the videos I have recently watched. These videos also play just fine. When I turn Wi-Fi back on, all the purchased videos return, including the ones that didn't disappear, but they ALL have the cloud icon again.
    Thank you for the information you provided! I have a better understanding of how these videos are stored now. If I am not mistaken, iTunes seems to think these are cached files, were the iPad sees them in a different way.
    As for your suggestion with "Manually manage music and videos", there seems to be some strange behaviour going on. I have been manually managing the content I sync to my iPad for some time, but this option was not checked when I look at the "Summary" page in iTunes. I checked the box and clicked on sync. Once it was done, I went to choose the music I wanted to sync to my iPad. The moment I check the box for "Sync Music" I get the message shown below. I click on "Remove and Sync", then select music to sync to my iPad. Once that sync is done I go back to the "Summary" page and the "Manually manage music and videos" check box is not checked anymore. I am not understanding this option correctly, or is there something strange going on?

  • HT201454 How do you handle family members outside the household being a part of the Family Sharing program?  I don't want them using my credit card for itunes and/or apps on their phones - just want to be able to share pictures/videos.

    Wanted to include my sister and parents in the Family Sharing group under the iCloud app, but I don't want them using my credit card for their purchases.  We just wanted to be able to share pictures and/or videos and find each other, if necessary.  Is there a way around my card being the default for them when they go to purchase something?

    If you don't want your sister to make purchases on your credit card, then Family Sharing is not an appropriate way to do what you want. You can use Find my Friends to locate each other and you can use Shared Photo Streams to share photos.

  • 8.1 Enterprise : dont install default apps, speed up first logon on domain?

    Looking to do the following on Windows 8.1 Enterprise (joined to domain)
    1) stop the "hi", "we're setting things up for you", "setting up apps" messages. Trying to deploy hundreds of tablets and first logon for each user to the tablets is SLOWWWW because 8.1 is taking all this time to setup apps
    we don't want and will never use. example (weather, people, skydrive, photos, maps, reading list, etc)
    2) if no way to stop the messages mentioned above, is there a way to set via group policy or other tweaks/modifications to not even install those default apps in (1)??

    Hi,
    You can try to remove the built-in Windows 8.1 applications when creating a Windows 8.1 image, then deploy Windows 8.1.
