Downloaded app that I can't delete because it says it is open, but I can't see it open anywhere to close it!

I downloaded Boom (some sort of speaker app) that I don't want (it was part of a bundle) and now that its free trial has ended it has muted ALL sound on  my computer.  I can't select internal device for speakers, it just reverts right back to Boom.  So delete Boom, right?  Except I can't.  In finder it tells me it can't delete it because it is open.  But I can't find it open anywhere -  not in my dock, not with command+tab, no window...  How do I find it and get it the *bleep* off my computer so I can get sound back?!

Sometimes Google is your friend.

    That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

  • HT201412 Can't get on FaceTime says wifi not connected but I can get mail, how?

    Can't get FaceTime to work, my wifi says not connected but I can still get mail, how can this happen?

    I was having the same problem. I've probably screwed things up royally by doing so, but I just went ahead and created another Apple ID with a different email address, and will inform anyone who I will be using FaceTime with to use the new one. I tried using the "multiple ID finder" thing but it only ever returned the ID I'm using right now; I can't verify the email address this ID is associated with for some reason.
    It's a clusterfark.

    That means you have to sign into/view your account and review you account and make sure you have a valid payment method specified in your account.

  • How do I re-download apps that I deleted but did not purchase?

    Is there anyway for me to re-download apps that I once deleted but I did not purchase? I've seen help for those who purchased apps, you go to the 'purchased' area in the App Store, but that didn't work for me because I didn't buy them.

    How did you get the games if you didn't pay for them? Even the free apps in the app store go through the purchasing process and are tied to your Apple ID. If you paid for them you are still able to log into the app store using your Apple ID which they were purchased with and download them again.
    If you received a used device or one as a gift the apps may be tied to someone else's Apple ID and still need the password for that account to install and run them.

  • I can no longer download apps that I buy.  They are on my computer, they will no longer sync onto my phone.  Yes, I DO know how to do it.  They no longer will go onto my phone.

    Did some searches, but did not come up with anything regarding your specific issue (the original one, the grey 'waiting' problem is quite common). If no other ofrum users chime in, it is indeed time to contact Apple / iTunes Store support.
    If you have not yet one so, Try to Reset your device.  Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).
    You could also try to re-download one or two apps, just to see if anything changes. Log in to the iTunes Store, go to the Purchases section and download from the list of past purchases or free apps.
    Sorry I wasn't of better help. Good luck.

  • I'm trying to delete some recently downloaded apps that don't work. They are faded grey and although they shake with the other apps, no cross appears in the top corner. Any ideas anyone? Thanks, Sean

    I have the same issue witha  slight variation.  The app icons that are grayed out and cannot be deleted are DUPLICATES of other apps that I already have.  For instance I now have 2 Redbox apps - one works normally, the other cannot be opened or deleted. 

  • I have audio on my iOS imovie app that I want to delete. How can I do this. I tried recording over it but it still is heard.

    I have audio on my iOS imovie app that I want to delete. How can I do this. I tried recording over it but it still is heard.

    I think Apple User is mistaken and wandered into the wrong forum, do ignore that advise.
    I am unclear as to where the audio is?
    If you want to silence the audio on a clip in the timeline,
    double tap the clip,
    In the audio clip settings turn the sound off.
    If it is a sound recording, sound effect, or music then you can double tap, and choose delete.
    Have a look at this help guide, specifically the part under create a project, add and adjust audio

  • Can a ipod 3rd gen have a software update so it can allow me download apps that are available on iphone 4s?

    Can a ipod 3rd gen have a software update so it can allow me download apps that are available on iphone 4s?

    See:
    iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
    You need iTunes 10,5 or later on the coputer.
    Are you sure you really do not have a 2G iPod? Those can only go to 4.2.1
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • I have a Bootcamp partition on  my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do?

    I have a Bootcamp partition on my Imac with Mavericks which I can't delete because the Partition Layout in Disk Utility is greyed out and is stuck on 'Current'. What can I do? I was trying to install Windows 8.1 but apparently, this is not yet possible.
    I was originally able to restore to my original Mac OSX partition using Boot Camp Assistant but then after entering Disk Utility and re-RAIDing the default RAID 1 to RAID 0 in the BootCamp partition (I suspect this is the cause of the problem but why was it defaulted to RAID 1 in the first place?!!!!), forever afterwards, I couldn't restore the single OSX partition.
    Whenever I used BootCamp Assistant my choice to 'Install or remove Windows 7 or later version' was greyed out. Finally I went to Disk Utility to repartition but the Macintosh HD and BootCamp disk partition functions were also greyed out (even if I started up from Recovery mode holding down option, command and 'R' and choosing Disk Utility). BootCamp Assistant gives the error message 'The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition' with additional small script 'The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows', and DU gives the error message 'The full size of the Fusion drive is not available for repartitioning'.
    What can I do to fix this problem? How can I make the Partition Layout button active in DU so I can change the partition to all OSX? I'm prepared to wipe off all my data etc to repartition and have backed up all to disk using Time Machine.

    My problem is fixed now, thank you. It was caused by my changing the Boot Camp partition's 'RAID1' to 'RAID0'. If I hadn't done that, Boot Camp would still have been able to 'restore' back to the one partition. It was fixed with the help of Applecare by using a terminal and typing a command to erase the IP of the Macintosh disk (not the volume) as well as the IP of the Bootcamp partition (if I remember correctly), but then I had to restore the OS and all my applications and data etc which I had previously backed up using Time Machine. I haven't taken note of the exact command terminology used. It would be wise to speak to Applecare about this if possible.
    Two words of warning, 1. According to the cause of this problem, it might be wise, after reinstalling the ops system to reinstall all extra applications one by one, manually, in case a similar problem arises again. Then manually copy back all data. Or the Mac user could use the Time Machine backup and then uninstall all the added apps then re-install them one by one manually. 2. Beware as after all this the user might not have the 'Recovery partition'. There is a small recovery partition (a few 100 Mb is size) which comes with all later Macs. After all this is done this tiny partition might not be there anymore and the user might have to re-install Mavericks again to get it back, or just install the upcoming update of Mavericks due in a month or so.

  • Is there a way to download apps that require ios 7 on my ios 6 iPod Touch?

    So I came across this forum as many others, just trying to find some answers as to why I can't or how I could get ios 7 on my 4th gen ipod touch... So I guess the answer is no, not possible and I suppose I can understand the reason as someone stated in another thread that it is because Apple does not want their users to have a bad experience and the 4th gen does not have the CPU nor the Ram for it to provide a usable and good experience... which leads me to the root of the problem. Read on...
    You see, I don't really care about ios 7 and any of its features, what I do care about is that I can no longer download some apps now because there is this popup that tells me that the app only supports ios 7 and I need to update my device to the latest software, ios 7. So how then is my Apple experience,  a positive experience if I am no longer allowed to download apps that I could before the ios 7 update even existed? a
    Perhaps I'm wrong? Maybe there is a way for me to download and still use these apps. If that is the case, I would love to learn how.
    Honestly, this is something that really makes me nervous as I am strongly considering switching from Android (After years of Apple hating) to my first Apple iPhone. But I would really hate to get me an iPhone 5s, only to find out that in a year I could no longer download apps because a new update will not work on my phone? Is that a possibility?

    Well, no. It's because that the iPod 4th Gen has iOS 6 and the apps need iOS 7. I suggest that you get the new iPod 5 because it has iOS 7. Also the iPod 4 does not have enough CPU or RAM. The new iPod 5 has enough CPU and RAM to store iOS 7 apps.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot connect the the App A Store and I have a few Apps that have to be deleted 2-3 times a week in order for them to be online!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I cannot log into the App Store, it acts like I am putting the wrong Password on my iPhone 4 and my iPod Touch.  I also have an app that has to be deleted and redownloaded at least 3-4 times a week because it will say the app is not online when I am 2 foot away from my router and all my other stuff is working fine.  My main concern is why the APP STORE no longer works??? Does anyone know any details or when you can expect it to be back up and working.

    It's a Wide World Problem.
    Chillax, Apple knows about it.

  • HT202159 I tried several times to download  pages that I already pay for and it says that there was an error in the installation , what can I do

    I tried several times to download  pages that I already pay for and it says that there was an error in the installation , what can I do

    -  Temporarily disable anti virus software if installed.
    -  Apps such as Little Snitch, Net Nanny, and Hands Off can prevent apps from downloading.
    -  Third party download managers can cause problems when downloading apps.
    I see v10.7.4 in your profile but make absolutely sure that's correct because the minimum requirements for Pages is v10.7.4 according to the Pages Information panel at the App Store.
    Click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.

    The Mt Lion installer deletes itself from your Apps folder when it has finished the installation. It is available to download again should you ever need it, such as to install on one of your other qualifying Macs. You don't have to continue to download it and install, it's installed.
    Is there something else going on?

    Perhaps the reason that your username and password are not recognised is because you have caps lock on.
