Deleting 3rd party apps

I downloaded a 3rd party world time app and got a **** app instead. I've tried everything to get rid of it, but nothing works. Does anyone know of another way to delete apps other than through iTunes?
In iTunes I can bring up the apps trays and highlight the app I want to get rid of, but no 'X' appears in the upper left corner to let me delete it.

You are signed into the account from which they were purchased?
You clicked on "Applications" under "Library"?
You clicked on/highlighted the app?
You hit the delete key/edit delete?

  • Delete 3rd party apps ?  HOW ?

    I would like to clean up my HD and erase 3rd party apps I don't use, such as :
    Adobe Photoshop CS2
    Canon Utilities
    CoreDuoTemp
    eDrawings (.dwg file viewer)
    Google Earth
    Google SketchUp 6
    HandBrake 0.7.1
    None have an uninstall program. Is there a SAFE way of deleting them ?
    Dragging them to Trash and emptying the trash is safe ?
    Appreciate any tips.

    Hi
    Adding to QTK's suggestion, also look in your HD>Library>Applications Support, and same location for your User Account. There you may see folders related to the apps you're looking to trash. Do the same for these folders.
    Photoshop is a bit trickier. In Applications Support you'll see an Adobe folder. Inside that folder look for anything Photoshop related. If you have other Adobe apps installed in your system, let us know the name of the Adobe folders in Applications Support. Otherwise, if you trash the wrong folders you may create operation problems opening other Adobe apps.
    Lastly, same Libraries - Preferences folder. Inside you'll find the preference files related to the apps you are trashing. Usually, either the app. name, or the developer name is part of the file name.
    Best strategy is to back-up the HD before trashing applications, especially if you are not sure. This way, you can revert to the original state if something goes awry.

  • My newly bought ipad4 is unable to delete 3rd party apps

    I have purchased a new ipad retina on 16.01.2013 from kernal harayana and my ipad retina is not deleting 3rd party i.e later installed apps. On searching the net it seems that restriction settings under general settings is on but my ipad doesnot have restriction settings. Is it because when i closely watched the model no. on box it says DEMO.The seller from Kernal,Infotech computers has cheated while selling. Kindly help me to solve this problem.

    It's a demo model, nothing anyone here can do.  Take it up with kernal harayana.
    You can try settings > general > reset > erase all content and settings but no guaranteee that will work.

    What cod files did you install on the device?
    Download this application: http://www.blackberryfreaks.com/JL_Cmder.html
    Extract the zip and get only javaloader.exe file.
    Let's say funambol application cod file name is: funambol.cod
    In your windows press Start-Run
    Type cmd and press enter
    In displayed window navigate the folder with javaloader.exe
    connect your device and type the command:

  • I recently purchased a 4S. I now have 2 files in my iCloud both with my name. One from my 3gs and one from my 4S. The problem is the data history of all my games and 3rd party apps did not transfer over to my 4S. Is there a way to merge the two in icloud?

    I backed up my 3gs to the iCloud and when I synced my 4S, it did not transfer my game histories or my 3rd party app histories. When I look at my iCloud storage, it shows both phones under the same name. Is there a way to merge them together in iCloud? I tried adding the account to my 4S but since they are both named the same, it says I already have that account added! Help!!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
    You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage......

  • 3rd party apps from someone other then Apple

    Does anyone now if you can get 3rd party apps without jail braking and without using Apples application store. I found a website that offers apps that I really want and was very disappointed to see none of the in the Apps store and dont know why nobody made them or offered them there. For $24.99 I can get all these apps that I was really looking forward to seeing in the apps store but werent:
    NES System : Nintendo with all the games
    Customization : Were I can custom every aspect of the I-Phone from I-cons to backgrounds
    Screen shot : A app where I can take a picture of anything that my I-Phone is viewing at that time like from a game or a website ETC.
    Video Recorder : I cant believe there was no video recorder in the apples web app release it is just something every phone should have
    MMS : Picture messaging, I mean I dont know how many times I recieve a picture message and have to wait till I get home to go on my computer to go to a website just to see them. How long it takes also with normal broadband just to see a simple picture.........This is a must have app
    Ringtone: Now all you have to do is select a song from your music library and put it to you contacts that easy no cutting or editing it down to size, no extra programs to make them with and no money to spend to make them
    Also much more that I dont feel like describing like:
    Instant Messenger
    YouTube Downloader
    Books
    VNC
    <post edited by host>

    Wow don't try to send a MMS to someones cell phone from the e-mail option this was a nightmare. I tried it to see if it would work and I received a message that the attempt didn't succeed so it kept trying and trying automatically. Then I get a phone call from the person I sent it to telling me it work but for me to quit sending it. I said I only sent it once then he said I have like 15 already so I check out my phone and it is really warm I looked at it and the battery went from fully full to a little less then half empty. So I am like what the heck so I go into my e-mail account and I see there is an e-mail demon meaning there was an attempt to send a e-mail but it didn't succeed. Normally when this happens it will make another try just to make sure it wasn't a service error well apparently my cell phone is continuing to retry to send the message so I have the phone trying my e-mail account trying while the person who the message is being sent to is receiving everyone........So I had to delete every message being sent on my e-mail account, I had to delete my E-mail account on my phone, and I had to shut it off for 30 minutes to see if this works it not I don't know what to do and my nightmare continues as well for the person who's phone keeps blowing up with the MMS message and I am wasting all of his text on his plan.......
    Thanks for the bad advice

  • No photos in Photostream, but 3rd party apps show that the photos are there

    I am having a problem, not sure where to post it. Here is what is happening:
    1. Take a photo with iPhone 4
    2. Syncs to great up until last night
    3. Last night I brought a photo into Nik's Snapseed app on my iPad (import from Photostream)
    4. Now, my synced Photostream shows up on my Iphone 4, iPhoto, but the Photostream album on my iPad shows no photos.
    5. However, the photos are there on the iPad, because if I use a photo editor app and import (again, like Snapseed), the photos are there and I can import. But the Apple's Photo app the album shows no photos.
    Very strange....I think this has to be a bug.
    Apple really needs to think about real use of Photostream. The concept is great...but I have to admit it is buggy. Adobe Carousel app, when it is released, looks ideal.
    Apple, why can we not delete 1 photo (rather than the whole Photostream)?
    Apple, is this a bug that we cannot import into other apps because it then blanks out our Photostream?
    Apple, why do new photos from my Camera app go to my camera roll and Photostream...workflow of editing and sharing photos is very messy this way with duplicate photos.
    I am not sure how I am suppose to get my photostream to show up again on my iPad. I have tried resetting my photostream, hard reset my iPad, nothing works.

    Exactly the same problem here too. Its bug, because I see my photostream with a 3rd party app like PS Express.

  • IOS 4- App Store and 3rd Party Apps don't load

    So I didn't have any problems with upgrading to iOS 4. The problems started when I tried to play with my apps such as Facebook and other games. They seem to stay in loading and nothing happens. I have turned of my phone multiple times and nothing seems to work. The App store also stays in a loading stage and nothing appears.
    Is anyone having similar problems or know of any solutions?

    OK. Here's the solution that worked for me. See my prior post on 22 June for background info.
    After loading new apps and deleting and reloading existing apps to my iPhone via iTunes on my computer, the iPhone still would not run 3rd party apps. So I decided to start from scratch.
    PROCEDURE:
    1) Back up the iPhone.
    2) Click the restore button to take the iPhone back bare bones iOS 4 operation. It is not necessary to download iOS 4 again. Do NOT restore from back-up as control of the process to the greatest extent possible is the goal.
    3) Once the restore is complete, allow iTunes to configure the iPhone from the back-up.
    4) Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function.
    5) Power down iPhone and restart it. Check some or all 3rd party apps to verify function again.
    6)Load music and video (I manage mine manually)
    This worked for me. Hope it works for you too.
    I am most certainly not an expert. I just decided to try an approach I thought the Apple Genius's might suggest.
    Good luck!

  • 2.0.1 causes 3rd party apps to crash

  • Resolving how 3rd party apps show free space?

    I've recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am now just learning about "Local Backups" and how they work.  This seems like a pretty neat feature and great extra data protection.  However, I now have trouble with 3rd party apps that monitor and notify about free space.  (ie iStat Menus, TechTool Pro, Disk Inventory X).  As I said, I think this new feature is great for added data protection, but it seems it has a huge flaw if it is going to make all other applications show incorrect Used/Free space.  In fact, since the Local Backup seems to use as much space as it can and will only free the space as needed, it seems every application or tool will show that the disk is always on the verge of being completely full.  Has anyone found ways around this?  Or are there any good apps that monitor and/or display free space (like iStat Menus) that can account for, or rather disregard, the space being used by Local Backup in the same way that the Finder window seems to?  I hope that in future OS updates, Apple does something about this like making the space used by Local Backup hidden in some way.

    Sorry, you didn't get my point:
    'Unintentional' means accidentally. I always wonder how people can delete files 'accidentally', requiring trashing them and then, in a second step, empty the trash.
    I do not empty my trash before having backed up, as I was pointing out. If I did, it would not be 'unintentionally'. It would be intentionally. And I should get fired. Unless I can have the backup drive there within 40 minutes.
    My point is, YOU're heading to work in the morning, not having backed up for the past 2 weeks to the external disk since your backup is always with you on your 4 months old Mac, still under warranty and unlikely to break anyway. Crossing the street from the parking lot, you need to jump to avoid some crazy driver. You make it, only your laptop slips from under your arm, drops onto the tar, and worse, before you can grab it, that bus is rolling over it. The HDD/SSD/whatever is history, and so is your work and some other important coroprate docs worth 2 weeks. Will you continue to walk into the office to resign, or will you ask the bus driver to run you over as well, please?
    My view is unchanged.
    Can we stop this here, please? My data is safe, and yours I've written off a while ago.

  • Netweaver Mobile 7.1 Data Orchestration Engine and 3rd party apps...

    Folks,
    I have a third party mobile app that just won't go away (pun intended).
    I will have a XMAM AND a 3rd Party App on 1 mobile device x's 1000's of devices.
    Can I use Netweaver 7.1 DOE to synchronize my devices 3rd party app? I will have to develop new Business Objects of course.
    CP

    Hi Christopher,
    you can use Netweaver Mobile 7.1 to download and deploy so-called mobile components. These mobile components will be always installed into the NW client container. In principle it is possible to create "client installers" which allows you writing a xml script containing installation commands. But as far as I know these commands are restricted to things like copying, deleting, file modification etc. Instaling a CAB-file for example will not be possible. And I guess this is what you are looking for, right?
    In case, you want to deploy 3rd party apps written for Netweaver Mobile 7.1, deployment is definitely possible. You will create your app as mobile components containing business logic, data objects and UI in the designtime. These components you can remotely deploy through the DOE.
    I hope this answer is helpfull for you. In case you have more questions, let me know.
    Regards,
    Stefan

  • 3rd party apps stopped working on 3gs

    This is similar in nature to other threads but the difference appears to be that I started from a 3gs phone with 3.0 installed. After changing the home page the screen stopped responding to touch input. I resetted the phone and all 3rd party apps. cease to function. When I click on the appropriate icon, the app. begins to load for about a second and then returns to the icons menu. Pre-installed (apple) programs all appear to function normally. I tried restoring from backup but this did not work. I am loathe to try a system restore but it looks like this is the only option available. Any other suggestions?

    Hi - hoping my experience helps someone in this situation. I had the same problem as reported: all 3rd-party apps suddenly stopped working. Rebooting the iPhone did not help.
    Here's a sequence that ended (so far) with mixed results.
    1) Tried the above suggestion of downloading a free app.
    2) Launched an app and then another to test, all seemed well.
    3) Manually clicked the iTunes Sync button.
    4) Tried launching another app - that one failed - but the two that worked above still worked.
    5) Deleted the newly downloaded app and then redownloaded it.
    6) Launched every 3rd-party app - all worked fine.
    7) Manually re-synced again.
    8) Launched various apps - most work, a couple don't.
    Will continue to work on this, but the problem seems to be related to syncing. Downloading an app appears to help. The results may vary depending on the app that's not working.
    So... try downloading a free app and launch the non-working apps before resyncing to see what happens. Syncing may break them again, but at least you might be able to get the apps back for a while without resorting to a factory reset. If you don't need to resync, you might turn off automatic syncing or use the non-USB power cord to recharge and avoid the problem.
    Perhaps corruption is happening somewhere, either on the iPhone or in iTunes, when syncing. It's frustrating.

  • Possible fix for 3rd party apps crashing after 3.0

    If some or most of your 3rd party apps crash when launching them after upgrading to 3.0, I have a fix that cured my problem. Another symptom is that you can delete the App, then reinstall and it works until syncing with iTunes.
    Well my cure was to download any app, even a free one via iTunes, then sync with the iPhone. All was cured. I usually just download Apps straight from the iPhone, but the iTunes route worked.

  • Every single 3rd party App crashes

    Hello,
    I'm running a 8gb EDGE 2.0.1 iphone. Every single 3rd party app crashes all of a sudden. I tried restore. all native apple apps load, but even when I just synce 1 3rd party app to the iphone (so all native iphone apps and 1 3rd party) that always crashes to iphone home screen.
    I need to fix this because I need to use 3rd party apps like zenbe (which was working perfectly for me a week ago)

    ok i had this same problem i called apple the guy i got new exactly what was happening and game me a work around. follow these steps exactly. this is a mac work around only dont know about windows.
    1 make sure your phone is not connected to your computer.
    2 delete every app directly from iphone by holding a app and then clicking the x
    3 go to settings general reset and choose reset all settings
    4 now on your computer open itunes on the menu bar go to store and deauthorize your computer
    5 quit itunes
    6 reopen itunes and reauthorize the computer then exit itunes
    7 open isync go to preferences and select reset sync history and exit isync
    8 open itunes and connect your iphone. it may freeze itunes for 2-10 minutes but dont exit just
    wait it will eventually recognize your iphone.
    9 after itunes recognizes your iphone go to the music tab and select a small playlist to sync then got to the app tab and choose sync selected apps and if anything is selected deselect them.
    10 if you have remote app select it if not download it for free and select it
    11 then select two other apps and click apply
    12 it will start to sync. it will say removing apps let it do this. depending on how many apps you have it could take a long time (mine took more than an hour)
    13 if you get error 0xE800002E after you are done just repeat steps 1-8 it wont take long this time
    14 if you dont get the error check to see if your remote works if it does check the other apps if they dont work repeat steps 1-8 if they do you are done just restart the iphone to make sure the still work
    15 if you got the 0xE800002E error and have repeated 1-8 sync remote and two other apps and it should work if it does not try again it worked for me the first time though.
    it is a long process but be patient and all will work out.
    that is it until apple fixes this stupid issue which should never have gotten passed testing.
    hope this helps
    if u need help or inform me of how it went u can email me at [email protected]

  • My 3rd party apps won't open. Please Help (Ipad Mini 6.1.3)

    I have downloaded a 3rd party app, after using it for several weeks without interruption. It suddenly won't open (crashes) everytime I tried to open it. I have already tried on re installing the app, but nothing happened. Please help, I badly needed that app.

    Try deleting the app, closing all apps in the recents tray, reboot the iPad, and then download the app again.
    In order to cloase all apps - 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. Close all of them. 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.
    Download the app again.
