Help reordering or removing apps from list

How can you reorder or remove apps from the list of apps you get to if you swipe to the left of The Hub? I can remove the apps from displaying messages in The Hub, but cannot reorder or removed(hide) them from the list ? It is hard to keep prying eyes from private emails, texts, bbms, with these quick links as is.

You cannot "hide" apps that appear in the Hub, but you can eliminate the from being displayed in the Hub (and put them back later).
Open the Hub with the swipe right, then select the three dots in the lower righthand corner. Choose Settings > Hub Management and turn off whatever you don't want to see displayed in the Hub. Just turn 'em back on later when you feel like it. 
It won't stop prying eyes from simply opening BBM or Test Messages, but at least they won't be on display in the Hub when you're trying to demo the device.

  • Open with.....removing apps from list?

    When I right-click and choose 'open with' on a picture for example, I get a huge great list of pre-sets to change the file too. Some of the icons/formats I don't recognise but I think they are a combination of Photoshop, and Flash, Fireworks etc file conversions.
    Is there anyway to remove these presets from the 'open with' list of apps? I've looked at Onyx to clear launcher options but this made no difference? Or does it have to be done in each application somehow?
    Cheers

    Solved this one myself eventually!
    It seems that if you have photoshop it creates a folder in the application folder called 'droplets'. These are shortcut links to the 'open with' menu. So if you have these shortcut options and want rid of them - then trash the droplets folder.

  • Creative Cloud App remove Apps from list?

    Hey guys, just caught up on Encore not being part of CC due to moves towards live streaming and had added Premiere Pro CS6 Family App to the CC App list. I've chosen not to install Encore so I won't require PP CS6 listed, can I remove it?

    You can uninstall PP CS6 and still have Encore on your computer to use it.
    Hey Manish, thanks for your reply, I was going to install PP CS6 to get Encore but decided not to and wanted PP CS6 off the Desktop CC App list. PP CS6 has since been removed after restarting WIN by itself. I was thinking perhaps there was a manual way of removing unwanted App's from the list.

  • HT201272 Removing apps from purchased list

    How do I remove apps from my app purchased list on my iphone?

    How do you remove 1) products from the "purchased" list; and 2) "the device" whether iPhone or iPad. 
    I just had to restore my iPad because the latest security update didn't install correctly; and all the old apps that I purchased re-appeared.
    STOP, for cryin-out-loud!

  • HT201304 Can I remove apps from my purchase list

    Can I remove apps from my purchase list..?

    No. You can hide them from the Purchases section of the iTunes Store through iTunes on a computer (or your iPad if it's still running iOS 5):

    but there's no way to remove apps permanently, nor can they be removed nor hidden in the Purchase History.

  • How do i prevent removed apps from syncing when connecting to iTunes

    I've "removed" apps from my iPad to free up space but when I connect to my computer, the apps "appear" to still sync. 
    To the upper right of the screen, it will show there are 65 apps (I removed 20 apps).  These are active apps and that is correct  When I click on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (the Apps section), it shows there are 85 apps taking up space on my iPad.
    Also, where the apps are listed, the apps that were "removed" from my iPad air have an option to "Install".   I don't understand why they're still syncing.  TIA for your help!

    This does not help but it does offer some insight. I have NEVER noticed this before. Take a look at the dialog box in the is screenshot. Note that it says that even if the app is deleted from the iTunes library, it will not be removed for any iOS devices when you sync.
    As an experiment, I deleted the AOL On app from my iTunes library and followed the prompts to put the app in the trash - not keep it in the mobile sync folder. I synced my iPad - and the app is still on the device even though it does NOT appear in my list of apps in iTunes when the iPad is connected and selected. I have never seen that happen before.
    If the app is not in your library, I always assumed that it would be erased when you sync since it is no longer in iTunes. I deleted the app in iTunes and then deleted it on the iPad and then synced again and now it is gone everywhere.
    Bizarre....

    I have noticed that I have apps missing in launchpad that I do have in my apps folder.
    How do I add these to launchpad.
    On the flip side, then how can I remove apps from launchpad that I hardly ever use?

    Did you check the second page of Launchpad?
    Click the second white dot in the bottom middle of the Launchpad screen.

  • Removing apps from devices in itunes

    Hi all, first time and hopefully last time blogger but if IT’S BROKEN I’ll be back. I have 3 IOS devices (iphone 5, ipads 2 & 3) all have been updated to the
    latest IOS software. These devices are synced with a PC which has the latest itunes software. I can’t remove any apps through itunes for any of the devices
    (e.g. sync with itunes then highlight the apps in the app screen but it won’t change to “will remove”).
    Does anyone know why apple breaks (it’s broken) these interfacing software issues. Why change things to be difficult , aren’t these software
    updates meant to be improvements not hassles

    Until a couple of days ago, I had never seen this in iTunes. This is not exactly what you are talking about but it is somewhat related. I found this to be very odd. The long and short of it is that I could delete apps from my iTunes library, then sync my iPad with iTunes - and even though the apps were no longer in the apps list when the iPad was connected to my Mac, with iTunes running and with the iPad selected under devices - they were not removed when I synced.
    Take a look.

  • Removing Apps From iPhone App Store

    Hello,
    I have been searching all over but I can't find a post on how to remove apps from the iPhone App Store purchased list. I have been able to do it in the past by swiping the app in the purchase list and selecting hide but it appears this function is disabled... Does anyone have any clue on how to do this now. Thank you

  • Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

    Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
    When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
    In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
    Now this doesnt work.
    The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
    This doesnt work either.
    I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
    This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
    Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
    Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
    Im running:
    Macbook Air 2012
    OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
    Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
    iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

    Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

    i am getting an error message while managing my cloud it says "cannot turn off backup" when i want to remove apps from the clous. how do i fix?

    Hey ktillis88,
    Thanks for the question. Based on the information you have provided, the following resource may be helpful:
    iCloud: Understanding Backup alert messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4576
    "Backups for appname cannot be turned off at this time."
    This message occurs if disabling Backup for an app on your iOS device does not complete successfully. Wait a few minutes and then attempt to disable Backup for the app again. If you continue to receive this alert, contact iCloud Support for assistance.
    Thanks,

  • How can I permanently remove apps from my ipad, iphone and ipod (which are in icloud)?

    How can I permanently remove apps from my iphone, ipad, ipod operating in the iCloud?

    Apps don't operate in the cloud - they're either downloaded to your device, or they're in your Purchased list. You can't permanently remove the history of apps you've purchased, but you can hide them. See this link:

    Heh, that can become a nuisance. Don't know how many you've accrued in your years of iGadget enjoyment, but I've managed to accumulate nearly 600, all free   So yeah, the list can get lengthy
    I'm afraid to count . I don't spend a lot time worry about it, but have on occassion gone in and hidden a few items. A handful of apps I know I never want to see again, plus some free music tracks that didn't pan out and some TV episodes that no longer have any value to me.
