Deleted apps re-appearing on phone reboot
The deleted apps keep reappearing on my iPhone each time the phone reboots. This is weird. The automatic app download option is already turned off. I am not syncing to iTunes at all. Has anyone come across this issue? Please let me know.
Did you jailbreak your iPhone?
Try restoring it an setting it up as a new phone from another user account on your computer.

How do I get deleted apps off my phone permanently. I deleted it but when I go to application icon then update and hit purchase I still see the apps I deleted with a cloud and a downward arrow. Is there a way to get that off your phone.
they are deleted permanently off your phone
but they will forever be tied to your appleID so you can redownload them for free there is no way around that but they are not taking up storage or anything when they live in purchase -
Deleted apps keep appearing on my iPad. Why?
My iPad randomly installed old deleted apps. I didn't chang any settings. I have iTunes set to manually manage content and to Wi-Fi sync so I can drag and drop over my network. I restored the iPad and after restoring from the cloud, the old apps came back again! What might be the issue?
Thanks!Try a Restart. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple. Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below. http://www.apple.com/contact/ -
Deleted apps still appear as purchased in App Store app? How to delete?
How do I make deleted apps disappear from the list of purchased apps in the App Store?
You don't.
You cannot delete Apps from that list as that would defeat its purpose. It allows you to download purchased apps without having to re-pay for them. Its apple's way of remembering what apps you already payed for and can download again, without charging you for them again. Purchased Apps cannot be removed from the list.
You can however hide them if you wish:

Deleting Apps (no 'X' in corner off app)
Hi,
I can no longer delete apps on my I-phone anymore, when I hold an app down it shakes as normal but no 'X' appears in the corner in order for me to delete it anymore.
I've already done a reset on my phone to no avail.
ThanksThis is a photo that shows that.

Why does iTunes always sync old apps back to my phone when restoring from back-up?
I can't seem to stop this happening - I delete apps frequently from my phone as I find I have no use for them. I regularly sync my phone to iTunes and I expected this to mean that old apps would be deleted from there as well, the same as contacts and photos are modified. But whenever I've restored from a back-up, I end up with all my old apps back on. I'm currently restoring from a back-up and it's syncing 1560 apps back onto my phone! I only had 346 on there that I wanted! But obviously I do want it to sync apps back on because I really can't be bothered to download 346 apps again, but why can't it just sync the apps back on that were present on my most recent back-up? This seems to be one of the many dumb things that iTunes does...
Syncing apps is a transfer/copy process, not a true sync process as with contacts, and the same for all iTunes content.
All apps on your iPhone should be in your iTunes library. If you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically along with being selected the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. If you delete an app direct on your iPhone, the app should be deselected automatically under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so - so the app won't be reinstalled on your iPhone with a following sync with iTunes. Your selections under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes is included with your iPhone's backup.
No iTunes content in your iTunes library will ever be erased via the iTunes sync process. -
I haven't been able to pin down what triggers this, but I have been sporadically finding previously downloaded and deleted apps suddenly appear on one of my home pages. It may just be the icons, I'm not positive (next time it happens I will try to open one of said apps). Either way, each time I immediately hold to delete them, and press okay to deleting the apps and all their data. Doesn't seem to stop it from suddenly reloading them when I don't expect it. Is this just an ios 8 glitch? I have an iphone 6 and have downloaded both the first two/new updates to ios 8.
This is an update of my former topic!
I have conducted an experiement:
I choosed the app Bebot, since this is one of the first apps ever bought, and I have never deleted it until today!
Deleted Bebot app from ipad
Deleted Bebot app from itunes
Redownload Bebot app from itunes store on win
It does not get checked in Sync apps!
I should because I have Automatically sync new apps enabled!
I check it
Apply.
Syncing starts. Bebot installed on ipad
Delete Bebot app from ipad
Itunes uncheck automatically
Apply, sync starts
Bebot does not reappear and is not installed on ipad
Exit itunes and reopened itunes
Bebot still unchecked
Perform Sync...Bebot dont get synced back!
Conclusion:
Old apps that are deleted dont get synced back and do not reappear after sync
New apps that are deleted get synced back and reappears after deleting!
I dont classify the newly downloaded Bebot as a new app, since it is registered on my itunesaccount two years ago.
This test leads to an inevitable question:
Did Apple changed something in the behaviour of newly bought apps?
If so, what has changed and why, cause it does more harm than use in my opinion! -

IPhone 5
I have an app that appeared to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app - tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. 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. -
SMS not sent and appears when you reboot your phone
Hi Guys, it seems this is the only way you can get help. My problem is I tried to send a sms when I didn't have enough funds, so now I deleted that sms, now everytime I reboot or take the battery out a blank sms to that exact person appears in my sms folder, as much as I delete it every time I reboot it comes back, very irritating how do I get rid of it, I have a curve 9360 and running os 7.1, this happened when I was running OS 7 but they dissapeared when I upgraded the os to 7.1 but it happened again when I tried to send a sms and didn't realise I had no money on my phone, pls help
First of all, it sounds like you are indeed on Verizon prepaid service (pay as you go). If you buy a refill card to add money to your account to pay Verizon, you have prepaid service. If you had non-prepaid service, you would have gone through a credit check to set up your account and you would get a bill from Verizon each month.
With prepaid service you can get a month of unlimited talk, text, and web (500 MB) for $45 but you have to be signed up for the correct plan. It sounds like you are on the wrong plan.
Go to My Verizon and look at your Plan. You are probably on a Daily plan, either Prepaid Basic (25 cents a minute to talk, plus 10 cents for each text) or 99 cent Daily (99 daily access fee, plus 10 cents a minute talk, plus 10 cents for each text). Plus you pay 99 cents for one day of web access with either plan. Those plans are OK for people who just talk a few minutes here and there, but if you are talking/texting a lot you could easily burn through $70 in just a few days!
In My Verizon, change your plan to a Monthly Plan. You can select the plan $45 Basic Phone Monthly. That plan has the features and price you expect.
Unfortunately because of your mistake, you will have to add more money into your account to pay for your first month, but the good news is that you CAN get unlimited talk/text/web 500MB for $45 a month once you switch from a daily plan to a monthly plan.
If you buy another $70 Verizon card, add it to your account, and switch to the $45 Basic Phone Monthly Plan, there will be $25 left in your account to apply toward next month's fee. -
How can I delete apps off of my iPhone 4? I know the apps will begin to shake, but the "X" doesn't appear like it's suppose to. Help, please!!!!
What apps are you trying to delete? Apps that come on the phones cannot be deleted in this fashion. Only apps you purchase from the app store can be deleted.

Hi
I'm trying to delete apps in iTunes Library and from the iPhone.
1. Goto Library > Apps then I deleted the apps I dont use.
2. Goto the iPhone, select Apps then deleted apps from there that I'm no longer using.
3. Click Sync. Then I get the following warning:
iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone “4S 16GB iPhone” that are not present in your iTunes library. Do you want to transfer these items from this iPhone back to your iTunes library? If you do not transfer these purchased items to your iTunes library, they will be removed from the iPhone.
4. I clicked 'Dont Transfer'. This is fine as I dont want the apps on the iPhone anymore.
5. I ejected the iPhone.
6. Later, I reconnect the iPhone again to iTunes. The warning appears again:
iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone “4S 16GB iPhone” that are not present in your iTunes library. Do you want to transfer these items from this iPhone back to your iTunes library? If you do not transfer these purchased items to your iTunes library, they will be removed from the iPhone.
7. Clicked 'Dont Transfer'.
8. Then I tried 'Transfer'. This transfered "something" .. I dont know what transferred as I had deleted a few apps.
Why does this warning keep appearing everytime I reconnect? I'm not sure what it means or what it's meant to do.
Please can you advise me? I dont know what I'm doing wrong.Don't transfer, right click the device in iTunes and select Back Up.
Though, the iTunes interface is designed to be computer - phone and not the other way around, you may need to use something else to preserve your data. -
Deleted app from itunes and iphone appearing in updates
I have tries to install app 'Prince of Persia: Warrior within' from itunes but cancelled it looking at the app size. But this app appears in update section when I click 'itunes download available' or if I click download all apps. Again, it is also happening for one more app which I installed and deleted ('Capcom Arcade') but again it appears in download section and starts to download automatically.
I am really frustrated with this activity as I have to always check that itunes is not automatically downloading these applications other wise it consumes by internet bandwidth (both apps are more than 500 MB of size).
Please provide a solution or help me with any tips on this.To completely remove an app from iTunes & your phone, do this: Right-click the app in your iTunes library, select delete, when prompted, move all files to trash, empty your trash, connect your phone, if prompted that there is purchased content on your phone not in your iTunes library, decline to transfer, hit the sync button. The app and all of its data will be gone.
