Deleting some default Apps?

I want to delete some of the default Apps I never use to clean up and save space. Like Youtube, Stocks and maybe Appstore because that works better from the regular computer.
Nowhere I can find if this is possible, and how???

You can only delete applications purchased from the iTunes store.
The original applications that came with the phone cannot be deleted and they will not have an x.
Safari, YouTube, iTunes (Store) and App Store can be disabled and their icons hidden by activation parental restrictions in Settings-General-Restrictions.

How to delete apples default apps like nike + ipod on iphone

How do you delete apps on the iphone that apple gives you that you don't want like nike+ipod

The apps which are installed as part of the default iOS installation cannot be deleted. I don't think that Nike+iPod is a default app; I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.5 and I don't have that app. So you should be able to delete that one.
edit: Hmm... read this for more info. Apparently, adjusting Settings can hide the icon, which is why I don't have it on my own Home screens. It's over a year ago so I didn't remember that I did this, or how I did it:

I brought iPad for my nephew logged in with my id and download iWork's which was free. Now as it was against my id I deleted the app and changed default I'd as his, now I try to install iWork's it is asking for payment though iWork's is free on this ipad.

That's because the free apps are already registered to your Apple ID. You can't use them with another Apple ID.

Deleting iphone 4 default apps.

Hi,
Is there any way to delete the apps that apple put on the iphone 4 by default? like with the app store ones that have the X in the corner, or at least hide it? i want to get rid of stocks and weather since these are apps i wont ever use. I am on the latest 4.1 firmware if that makes any difference.
TIA

Could of sworn this was just asked like 15 mins ago down the list.
No, default apps cannot be deleted.
A search before asking would of answered your question.

Delete unwated default apps

Hello i have been setting up my ipod touch and although its great i cant seem to find any way of deleting unwanted apps, like stocks, youttube, mail, calculater etc.
These are not what i purchased the ipod touch for, if i wanted them i would have purchaed a iphone.
So is there anyway to remove them other then the few that can be done via restrictions?
thanks

Hope This helps!
Good point!
BUT that still isn't removing them from the iPod, rather just hiding and removing access.

OS X doesn't remember the default app to open a file with [delete the thread]

Alright, so I have installed ACDSee and I want this app to be a default app the image files should be opened with.
However, OS X keeps reverting back to the system's "preview app".
Yes, I obviously ticked the "always open with" box, but it won't remember it. And at preferences (security & privacy) I allowed any app from the internet.
Is there a system file that I'd edit with a text editor and manually set up a default app for a certain file extension?
nevermind, rebooted the OS, and now everything works fine.

Is there a way to change the default program to open a file with another program using a Rededit key. I would like to change the program to open a .g3pp file with vlc instead of media player cause it doesn't read
it.
Why make life hard for yourself? Just right-click any .g3pp-file, then left-click "Open with". That's all!

IPod touch 4G deleted settings app and most of my music HELP please

I have an iPod touch 4G 64GB running on ios 5. Last night I slid the bar to unlock the screen and the slider stayed locked to the right and the iPod had locked up. I left it and went to bed. This morning it opened OK but my settings app has disappeared. I have looked for it in spotlight search and it doesn't come up and being on my device. Other weird things happened also. All my apps had been organised into folders and all my folders have gone and i now have 10 screens of apps. Also most of my music has gone from the music player. When I go to browse my music around 90% of it is showing grey in the song list and can't be played. Around 10% shows black and plays on the device. This iPod is around 1 year old (christmas present from a year ago) and has never been jailbroken. Can someone please help because i know that it is impossible to delete any of the default apps but the settings app has gone from the device entirely.

OK I have solved the problem I had so wanted to post it up here in case anyone else ever has the same problem. Actually I haven't solved the problem.....the problem was that my iPod removed all of my apps from their folders....the consequence was that i had more than 176 apps which is the most that will fit on the 11 pages apple allow us to have on the device.....so I started putting them back into folders....I would get them down to 3-4 pages then do a reset (holding home and off button etc)....then when the device restarted more apps appeared and my settings was one of them.....I figure that is why it wouldn't show up in spotlight search either....it wasn't that it was hidden rather there wasn't room for it on the device. Hope this helps others.......and APPLE.....please find out why my iPod removed all my apps frim their folders in the first place.

Admin pw every time I delete an APP

Is it normal that I have to enter my admin pw every time I delete an app out of the programs folder?

So if i am correct, all apps installed by the Mac App Store a seen as system applications?
You can check this without deleting an application. Select it, choose Get Info from the File menu, and see what account is listed at the top in the Sharing & Permissions section. Additionally, an application considered a system one will have a the Locked checkbox grayed out by default.
And therefor there is no pw asked when installing apps, but when deleting apps the pw is been asked in behaviour to a system change?
It's always been this way. However, if an application used an installer which didn't ask you for your administrator password when logged in as an administrator, it's probably considered to be one of yours.

How do I change the default app for opening a file;

If I right click on a file in finder, it tells me what the default app for opening the file is. it also gives me a short list of other apps.
I would like to change the defaults for several file types, and also delete one app from the short list and add a different one.
How do I do this?
thanks

You could try this:
- right-click (tap with 2 fingers on the apple trackpad) on a file you want to open in openoffice
- move the cursor over "open with". You should see the default app, then some suggestions, then app store, then at the end, "other...". Select "other..."
- find openoffice in your applications folder and select it (if it is dimmed, change "enable: " from "recommended applications" to "all applications", then you can select "openoffice")
- check "always open with"
- then, click "open". The file will open in openoffice and from now on, openoffice will be the default application to open the type of file you just opened. You should also see the icon of all files of the same type change to the openoffice file icon.
This is supposed to work, but that's not always the case, especially when the default app happens to be an Apple app. If you don't want to use that Apple app, delete it (or move it elsewhere if you want a backup). That can help.
Good luck!

Fireworks as default app for jpg files

I was able to configure Fireworks to be the defaul app for jpgs - and when I click on a jpg file in my file manager, - Fireworks launches - but the image file that I clicked on does not open.
I like to be able to find a file using Windows Explorer (using Windows 7) and then click on it to launch in Fireworks - although it worked with 5.5 - it is not working with 6.0.
What am I doing wrong?

I tested this on my Windows 7 system and it worked okay with the method I described. Fireworks wasn't in the list so I had to hit the Browse button and direct it to the Fireworks.exe after which double-clicking a jpeg image opened the image in Fireworks CS6. This functionality is a feature of Windows not the Adobe software. All of the file associations are based off of related Windows registry entries.
Things you could try
1) Specify a different default app like Windows Picture and Fax viewer and then try switching it to Fireworks CS6 again
Not an official Adobe solution, try at your own risk!
2) Try resetting the file assocations to the Windows defaults then associating it again
Had you deleted jpeg previously?
I found this, haven't had a needed to test the solution out myself but might be what you need

How to unpin default apps from the Start Screen using vbscript

Hi,
I am looking for a way to programmatically unpin apps using vbscript from the Windows 8 Start Screen. I need to unpin SkyDrive, People, Calendar and messaging. I have been searching for a couple of days but I'm coming up with nothing so far.
I know how to pin my own choices of installed apps using vbscript but I can't figure out how to unpin the default apps.
Thanks,
Rob

Some thoughts:
I started to investigate the many ways to manage the Metro start menu. There are APIs but none are exposed to batch or VBScript.
1. Programs are installed into the 'All User' start menu, defult users profile start menu and a set of global links can be defined for metro. THis is almost identical to ll previous versions except for the linking process which sets up the defaults.
If we install Office 20133 it will, if we choose, show up in all user start menu. Each user can then unpin this.
2. There is a file (binary) that keeps track of the Metro settings. It seems to only be changeable via the API or by using the shell 'pin/unpin' verbs.
3. This behavior I identical to XP and other systems with the exception of how it is stored and in that you cannot remove items from the sztart menu prior to Windows 8.
4. The default user profile can be customized and stored on the network so that it affects every system.
5. The "All Users" 'profile' can only be customized after a program is installed or by altering the programs installer.
What you are trying to do runs counter to all Windows design since the first version of Windows. We have NEVER been able to alter the start menu from script in such a way that a user could just add the item back in. Your request seems to be incongruous
to the design of Windows.
Now don't get me wrong. What you are asking is partially possible but you need to alter the Windows image so that the All users profile does not propagate the shortcuts. You can do this by just deleting them. You need to delete them before
a user account is generated on the box. Delete them in the image. You can do this with MDT. The shortcuts will not propagate to the user. The user can still search for an app and add it to the start menu.
There may be a better way to set this up but I cannot see how without using the API.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HT204266 My child deleted the "app store" app. How do I get it back or reinstall?

My child deleted the "app store" app. How do I get it back or reinstall? Normally I would go into the app store to get the deleted app...

You cannot delete the App Store app as it is one of the default apps. Your daughter most likely moved it onto another screen or accidentally moved it on top of another app which creates a folder that contains both apps.
Swipe to the furthest left screen, the search screen, type in App Store, and you'll find where the App Store is hidden.

Mac OSX mavericks - can't change the default app for InDesign

I have a problem that the InDesign CS6 stubbornly changes back the default file-type association for the .indd and .indb file types.
I tried to change it via Get Info - then it immediately changes back to InDesign CS6. Also tried with RC default App, but it forgets my setting immediately when I make them for InDesign CS5, and for CS6 it doesn't allow that I make it.
The only way that it works, is if I put the InDesign CS6 folder to Trash, and then change the file-type association - but then only until I start again InDesign CS6 which changes back all the file-type associations.
My workflow is like that, that I'm working on many projects, and my main clients use CS5, but some use CS6 - so I need both of them, but that CS5 is the main program. How can I fix this problem?
I am on latest Mac OS X 10.9.1
THanks, Gas

Edit: Disregard. It worked for some text/ files but not video/x-... So I guess I still have the same problem.
The same thing happened to me.
I deleted (probably safer to first rename)
~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
Then I ran
kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
I'm not sure if the first step was necessary, but it worked for me.
