  • How do I delete apps that don't have an X?

    I read where someone else asked how to delete apps and they were told to hold the app til it wiggled then click an X that would appear in the app corner.  Well.....there is no X in the corner of the app I want to delete (stocks).  I have no use for this app and hate the extra clutter.  Thanks for any help.

    If it is an app that is part of the Apple iOS install, you won't be able to remove it.
    If it is a 3rd party app it should have an X when tapped and held.
    Note you can also remove apps using the Apps tab in iTunes when the device is connected to your computer.

    You can't currently permanently delete purchases, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding purchases

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

    You can't delete any of the Apple built-in apps e.g. Music, App Store, Game Centre etc. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • TS4009 How do I delete apps from iCloud?

    How do I delete apps from iCloud?

    You can't at this time. Apple FAILED to permit iCloud user with  ability to delete programs that you deleted from your iPad/iPhone  devices.  As great iCloud is just know that if you download an app and don't like it you stuck with it in the cloud dispute you deleting it from your device.
    APPLE, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FIX THIS? At least make it a belated Christmas gift to you fellow Apple clients. PLEEEEEEASSSSSSE! Thank you!

  • HT1349 How do I delete apps that I do not want on my device anymore?

    How do I delete apps that I do not want on my device anymore?

    DELETING APPS
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps  =  Off / On
    If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.

    Are you syncing with iTunes?
    If so, then you must mark the Apps that you have deleted in iTunes to not reload. If this isn't done they will return after a sync.

    How do I delete apps in iOS 7 from my iPhone?

    Same way as you always have done -- press and hold 'till they wiggle, then tap the [x] in the corner of the one you want to delete.  Or, change your sync settings via iTunes to not sync apps you don't want/need.
    Note that you cannot eliminate built-in apps like Weather, Stocks, etc.
