How come Verizon keeps installing junk apps on my blackberry?

I go to remove cheesy games, social networking apps, and other junk that I'll never use, and guess what? They appear right back on the phone! Turns out that Verizon is pushing that junk right back on the phone. Why? Why can't I choose what software I have on my phone? Why can't I make more memory available on my phone without Verizon cluttering it up again with the same garbage I just got rid of?
Should Verizon force applications to be installed on our phone that we don't use? Should they even be allowed to do this? Why can't I have the freedom to choose what apps I will and will not have on my phone? What does this tell us about Verizon as a company?
Just curious. What do you think?

Nobody likes it but at least in the case of BB they are only icons and not actual applications. Being icons they take up very little space and can be hidden in a folder.
I recommend that you create a folder called "Junk" and place these icons (and others that are pushed by VZW) in there and then hide the folder. This removes it from your view and you will forget about them quickly.

HOW COME I CANNOT INSTALL AN APP ON MY IPAD

how come I
cannot install an app on my ipad

Some apps require an iOS of 5.1.1 or higher.
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?" Wth...i am using the 64version.

Hi. How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?" Wth...i am using the 64 bit version of itunes. Why does it keep saying that? Will someone Help me please!? This is is getting frustrating. I already had done a full removal of everything! I even removed and deleted my library...then had to put all 500 songs back on one by one. So, i don't have to remove everything again, just to get my ipod to work on here. You, know before the itunes update, my ipod and itunes were working just fine.

wow, that was a quick reply. lol. but i have removed everything. I wasn't even able to get iTunes on my computer for a little while. i kept getting errors on that. Now it's saying that the required software isn't installed. Hmm, could it be referring to Apple Mobile Device Support? That is supposed to be installed with when iTunes gets installed right? I only ask, because that didn't get installed with the itunes setup.

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID?

How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID? A good example is if you are forced to change your email, which you use as your Apple ID. what if it is a security app and you lose a lot of data if you lose the app? Why are the apps tied to the Apple ID rather than the user? Why is it impossible to globally change the Apple I D?

All content is tied to the account, but you can change the primary email address on an account e.g. you can log into your account via the Store > View Account on your computer's iTunes and there should be an Edit button to the right of your account id on your account's page, or similarly on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and view your account. Or you can update it by logging into it via this page http://appleid.apple.com . You shouldn't lose any content on the account if you update it.
After updating the account you may need to log out of your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for it to be 'refreshed' on it

How can I re-install the app?

Indesign CC was trashed. Creative Cloud Shows app as "up to date". How can I re-install the app?

Hi Notebook57,
You first need to uninstall the application completely.
In Mac :-- Applications --->Utilities --->Adobe Installers
in Adobe installers you will find the uninstaller for Indesign CC just run that and complete the uninstallation.
In window :-- Control panel ---> programs and features --> uninstall Indesign cc.
After doing this you can launch Creative cloud desktop ---> log out and log back in.
You should see the option to install the software again.
Thanks

When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?

When I go into itunes to sync my computer with my iphone I keep getting message that I must download itunes 10.5, so how come I keep downloading it, but it keeps giving me this message and I can't sync?

What version of iTunes are you currently running? To check, in iTunes go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen. For example, I see:
iTunes: 10.5.2.11

HT4890 How come I keep getting this message when I turn on my computer: 'photo stream has stopped working.' my pictures aren't saving on the cloud!

Firefox 2.0.0.20 is the last ever version of Firefox for Win98 / SE / ME.
You can get it from here, but you are better off using K-Meleon (derived from Firefox) or Opera instead an old version of Firefox:
[ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/win32/en-US/]
You can try KernelEx to get Firefox 3+ to work, but it would be very slow with an old PC of less than 750Mhz. 3.5 and later supposedly doesn't work.

How do I un-install an app on iphone 5

How do I un-install an app on iphone 5?

Only apps that you have installed can be deleted. Native iOS apps cannot be deleted. If you do not have Restrictions turned on in Settings for deleting apps, just hold your finger down on the app until it starts to wiggle, and there will be a small x by it. Tap the x and that will delete the app. Then tap on the home button again to stop the wiggle.

How do you re-install an app you bought on a new drive?

Just bought my first app on the App Store (Pixalmator). Pretty cool. It drops the app on your doc and it looks like when you buy or update an app on your iPhone (little progress bar under it as it downloads). In the past, most application I purchase on-line come in a .dmg file. I can then store that off and back it up. If I ever need to re-install the app, I have it installer. Now, I don't really have an installer, just the app. How do we back it up and re-install it in the future? Like if I get a new mac or replace the hard drive, etc.?
Thanks

You just do it through the App store. When you are logged into the app store you can just reinstall it on that computer without paying for it. That's how it works by design. Alternatively because of that you can install that purchased app on all of your computers. Now the catch is when there is a FULL PAID UPGRADE you would then have to purchase it all over again. But for right now you should be able to log into the app store and just redownload/install it

Do I need to keep "Install xcode.app"

I've recently been trying to recover hard drive space so I've been using Disk Inventory X to scan my hard drive.
I've noticed that I have two massive apps in my apps folder:
- Xcode
- Install Xcode
I'm guessing that I don't need to keep "install xcode" around because it's probably just an installer and doesn't actually do anything, but before I delete it I was wondering if anyone knew? I haven't found anything on google.
Thanks

Thanks for the response baltwo, I think I can elaborate a bit though:
After a bunch more research, I found out:
1. it's ok to delete the "install xcode" file
2. one consequence is that it will stop automatic updates from coming through
3. there are ways to mitigate the update problem
So it's kinda lame that you need to keep a 3.2GB app around just so that you can get xcode updates, but you can actually use some tricks to convince the app store to give you updates. The best one I saw was to copy the app to an external hard drive and creating a symlink to it from your applications folder. That means that when the drive is connected the app store will think that the app is installed, and it will look for updates, but you don't have to waste 3.2GB of laptop drive space just for updates!
I haven't tried any of this but I will tonight.
Cheers.

How do you re-installing cc apps without un-installing first?

Hi
I installed Photoshop CC the other day and it seems in didn't install correctly even tho the application manager thinks it did. When I try to open it I get this error
I went to re-install the app through the application manager but noticed that there isnt an option to do so. It thinks everything installed correctly
So I uninstalled Photoshop CC and was about to re-install it when I noticed that Adobe Application manager still thinks it's installed. Surely I don't have to restart to remind it that its uninstalled? And surely there must be a way of re-installing an application rather than having to unisntall and then re-install.
Any one know?
cheers
John

How do you keep your ipod apps after updating to the 4.0 upgrade?

I first backed up my iPod touch to keep all of my apps. Then I updated it to 4.0, when I got finished it didn't have any of my apps except the original ones from the iTouch. So I went to click restore from back up and it said that the 4.0 update would go away if I restored from backup. So how do I keep my apps and the update? I have bought some of the apps and do not think it would be fair to re buy them.

No, a backup won't do anything, you need to check your sync settings and then re-sync.
1- Connect your Touch to iTunes
2- Verify that your App sync preferences are set correctly
3- Verify that all your other sync preferences (Music, Video, Podcast) are set correctly
4- Click Apply if you made any changes, or click Sync to initiate a sync w/o any changes.
Assuming the missing Apps are in your iTunes, they should be added to your Touch after you re-sync.

Hello, I deleted an app and emptied the trash. How do I re install the app??

Hello, I deleted a few Apps (Audition and a few others) since I needed to make more disk space. Now I need the Audition app back but Adobe Cloud Manager wont let me re install the app. Can apps re-installed once they are deleted?
