Deleting game app - fresh install

I recently upgraded my iPhone (3G to 4) and I'm having functionality issues with a game/app--Caribbean Racing. It utilizes GameCenter, which is a permanent app on the iPhone. It's a sailboat racing game with nine different courses, and I can select different courses and it appears to "load" but it always reverts to the first course. The game also features a two-player wi-fi version which doesn't seem to work at all. The game's tech support told me to do a fresh install (I'm assuming this means deleting from phone and iTunes desktop and removing backup copies of software)--which I've tried to no avail. Is there any way that data is somehow remaining on my phone? Could it be related to game center? I'm even willing to repurchase the app at this point--could iTunes be reverting to an older version of the app when I redownload it from the store? It does remember that I purchased it. Thanks, Eric.

Almost impossible, so repurchasing almost certainly would be a waste. I've never seen or heard of the ITunes Store having and downloading any earlier version of the app.
About all I can suggest at this point is a restore of the OS on the iPhone and see if that helps. But not all developers come out with stable software. One of the good things about the App Store is it encourages new developers and low-priced apps, but the downside of that is that at in at least some cases apps are created by inexperienced developers with unknown ability to test and bug-fix. So it may not be something you can fix.

Please assist

You don't really delete app that way, that way to stop backup for that app in icloud.
You need to delete it from your home screen and then while it still will look like download from icloud - app will start fresh.
However if app uses any account sign in the stuff that is attached to sign in will come back, so if you do not want to you need to use
fresh account as well.

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app)

I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers?

I want to know how to delete game apps from my macbook pro also can i trust any macbook cleaners or keepers? My mac seems to be running a bit off.

To delete any type of app you need to open the Finder window and highlight the app you want to delete by moving it to the trash. Empty the trash and it's gone. There are some Apple provided apps that cannot be deleted but you should not have any issue with the games.
As for cleaners, I personally don't use them but the 911 and Mackeeper are very popular and I hear work pretty well with Macs.

Re: Cannot delete Games App cannot remove linkedin from hub

Hi i clicked on the games app on the Z10 and it forced me to grant it permission to share on bbm. I dont want it showing up on my bbm. However the option on settings and permissions is greyed out and set to on. How can this be- must be a bug? also you cannot delete the app..... so lookks like im stuck with the problem? any help please..............
ps have tried these options
1. Delete the app by pressing and holding the icon and click on delete.
2. Best way to get rid of the app is go into my world and uninstall the app.
3. Can change the application permissions under settings, Security and Privacy, Application Permissions.
none work!.
Next is the app linkedin succesfully deleted it but now cannot remove it of the hub list it still remains there even if i turn it to off in the hub settings? also all app ppermissions are set to off.

Arsen, I don't think you understand that in the Z10 these 3 delete options are not available for the Games App. And in the application permissions it is greyed out and you CAN'T change it. None of the sliders, whether grey or not, are moveable. they are permanently stuck on the "ON" position.
WTF Blackberry?!

What if my daughter accidentally downloads something and it charges my credit card $99.00, i have deleted the app she installed can I get a refund?

What if my daughter accidentally downloads something and it charges my credit card $99.00? Can I get a refund? I deleted the app!!

Further to the other points, what you might want to do is
- first, make sure your daughter does not know your password, and change it if you suspect she does;
- second, turn off in-app purchases, and set your iPhone/iPad to require a password on every purchase. See this article:

Deleted Safari.app - cant install again

Hi.
I have a time ago downloaded the Safari 4 developer preview.
Anyways, i got tired of it and i wanted to switch back to 3.2, or whatever is the newest product version. Well, as with any other uninstall i thought i'd just have to drag the .app into the trashcan.
Well, i did this and it went fine, and i emptied the trashcan and it went fine and stuff like that.
When i then tried to install Safari 3.2 it said that a newer version of Safari was already installed. Then i browsed around for a time and found out that i had to delete a folder inside ~user/library called Safari.
I did this, but it will still not install.
I went into the Disc Utility and repaired and controlled the Disc permission things you know.
Really hope ya can help, getting sick of firefox's inability to read RSS and its weird.. Look!
Thanks in advance!

Have a look at this thread for how to obtain Safari 4. I haven't tried it, so I can't vouch for whether the download is still accessible.
If you get the dmg file, install Safari 4 again. Then, uninstall it using the provided uninstaller. That will take you back to the last version of Safari used in your system prior to Safari 4.

Help deleting game apps and restarting phone

I am trying to delete all of the games my son has put on my iphone. There are about 50 trying to update all at once which is enabling me from using the apps I need. I want to completely restrart my phone, erasing everything and cannot find any help in doing so

Hi trevor2013,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you would like to restore your iPhone.
Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
See this article for the steps to restore your phone:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you want your phone to be "like new," then you don't need to restore from a backup (as mentioned in step 5.)
Regards,
Jeremy

TS1702 I was working in my ipad 3 with splashtop for many time. Now i get the iphone 5. i donwload the splashtop2 . but both divice gave me a trial for 7 days now remain 5 days. I deleted the app and install again but still expire in 5 day Anywhere access

I need to know what is the problem. Because in my Ipad 3 the splashtop was working good until i download the same app for my iphone 5. Now in anywhre access pack expires in 7 days ,now remaind 5 days.

The trail period is likely tied to your AppleID, not a specific device, and begins when you download the app.

How do I delete apps once installed?

I have an iPhone 4 and I can't figure out how to delete an app I installed. Sorry for the ignorance but I'm new to this Apple stuff! :)

Press and hold down the app icon until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x then tap Delete.
Press the Home button twice to stop the jiggling.

Fresh install and restore

I have just done a complete fresh install of Lion thinking it would clean out all of the old programs etc from the Library, which it did. Until I used migration assistant to transfer my Documents and settings. I left the Applications, as I was just going to copy those of which I wanted by hand. But all of the old program files have been copied and some how the applications as I can open them from the dock. E.g. Chrome, which I have technically not installed yet.
How might I go about this with out loosing all my settings but only having what I want? Is this even possible?
Thanks,
Alex

Hello again Ian,
"a fresh install, then just copy the applications, library and user folders from the backup drive to the fresh install"
You could do that, but be careful to:
- work from the newly created admin User you just installed
- create other User Accounts in the same order the old ones were previously created
(then import your files separately from each new other account, dragging files from each "same" old other account)
- check which Application would not work anymore, trash its preferences and reinstall it.
Keep the new Apple apps (fresh install) rather than the old, and import your old files from them.
"migrate the settings and applications from the backup drive during the setup process"
This would imply everything is fine and works well on your current system,
so,
there is no need to do a "fresh install" of Mac OS X in the first place.
--> If your current instalation is fine, you need no reinstallation at all,
or,
you can just make an Archive & Install.
Now if there's something wrong in your system that makes you want this "fresh install",
then DO NOT import anything from your old backed up libraries.
--> Why is it that you need a fresh install?
In case it's because you want new User names, something like that,
better consider my first reply method as the safest solution.

How to delete free apps

How do I delete free apps from my iPhone5? Thanks

Apps that came installed as part of the operating system cannot be deleted.
Apps you installed can be deleted by holding an app until they all start to shake and a black circle with an X appears on one corner. Touch the black circle of the app you want to delete and it will go away.

I wanted to delete a app so I could redownload to restore and start game over and so I deleted it then went to re down load and it says it's still installed so I can't re download but the I con is not any where on my iPad where can I find it?

Where do I find a I con that is gone but on the app store it says it's installed when I deleted the app to restore game and now I can't install the game because it says it already is but I deleted it and Icon doesn't show any where on my screen?

Check here:
Settings>General>Usage>Show all Apps (you'll likely need to scroll down)
Find the app you wish to delete, tap on it, then tap "Delete App"
