How do I delete an app not visible on the desktop because I have too many?

Hi, How do I delete an app that isn't visible on the desktop because I have too many.
I can get to it via search but then I can't delete it.
It appears that all these apps are stuck in the machine!
Thnx

Do it in iTunes on your system. Connect iPad, go to Apps tab and deselect the apps you want to remove from iPad.

    How do i delete an app that came with the latest 8.2 software update?

    Since you can't delete apps that are part of iOS, you should try the same thing I do. I create a folder which I call Worthless and move to the last page of my iPhone. I then put all the apps that Apple includes with iOS into that folder. With the name Worthless, I never even tempted to look in there again. That is about the only thing you can do with worthless apps that are included with iOS.

  • Genius: "you have no memory because you have too many apps running" ?!?!?!?

    hey all,
    just a quick thing. I saw a genius today, because like many of you, i'm not only dealing with antenna issues but also have some really bad proximity sensor stuff. I mean, seriously, i've done three way calls, face timed everyone, end calls of 50-60 percent of my calls, searched maps, made new contacts, etc. all with my face! rrrgggg but what i was more puzzled about was what the genius told me was,
    "you have no memory because there are too many apps running in the background" when i questioned and said, didn't steve say, "if you have to think about it, you've done it wrong" yet now i'm having issues with my phone, it is because of the multitasking? does this make any sense...it didn't to me. does he not know what he is talking about....or if he is right, there is nothing i can do about it right? he said there isn't a way to turn multi tasking off, just have manually quit programs.........any advice onto if he is correct...

    The genius is incorrect. The apps that are suspended in the background are told to release memory, and if there is a shortage of memory or they don't comply as required they will be terminated at will by the OS (freeing memory). This is all done behind the scenes and will not cause you any memory issues. And the upside is you can switch to them much faster.
    Shorter version: memory not an issue with background tasks.

  • How do I validate a certificate (not visible) at the document level?

    I am using Acrobat XI Pro running in Windows 8.
    I created a PDF document with form fields (type: button) and JavaScript codes (field-level and document-level). Before I certify (not visible) and save the document, I want to add a document-level script that checks if the certificate is valid. If the certificate is valid, I would like to  schedule an interval object to update some of the icons in the fields. Is this possible? If so, how do I get the “certificate (not visible) field” and check that it is valid
    Thanks. - john

  • I have desktop running Vista and Windows Mail and iPhone 4S.  I receive email fine on the iPhone but when I read or reply or delete email on iPhone it does not "register" on the desktop that I have done so.

    It seems like once the messages are received on each device they no longer talk to each other.  They do not "synch" after intital receipt of message.
    Please help.

    If this is a POP email account that is normal as they don't sync but merely allow devices to retrieve messages from the server.  You have to use an IMAP or exchange account to have changes on one device reflected on the other.

  • We have about 5 devices in our family.  My daughter's and mine don't work anymore, ostensibly because we have "too many". It has been so long since I loaded them in, I don't remember how I registered them.  What can I do to reactivate IPOD, SHUFFLE, ETC.

    We have about five devices in our family which have been deactivated.  It has been so long since I registered them -years- and I don't recall  how I did it.  For instance, my daughter's IPod from when she was young doesn't work and neither does her IPod Nano.  She can't get any of her music.  My Shuffle doesn't work.  I am embarrassed that I feel like having Apple products is too complicated for me.  I can barely get through all the levels of logging in, let alone how to make the devices work again.  Somewhere along the way I seem to remember getting a message that we had too many devices on our account.  Which account?  I have given up on this so many times and now it is years later and I am trying again.  How can I get some meaningful customer service to use the products and music I bought and paid for?

    I think in previous incarnations, people would have jumped all over you for your approach, but the Lion operating has generated decidely mixed or even negative reviews from users. So no one seems to disagree with you. I think many folks are simply staying with 10.6 and waiting to see if OS 10.8 is better than 10.7.  I've mostly avoided upgrading OS's, or when I do I jump over one version completely because I've waited long enough that I'm two versions behind. 
    Here are the things that will/would motivate me to update the OS:
    * incompatibility with MS-Office (I'm not a MS-Office fan but I do need to use it)
    * incompatibility with flash or other tools needed to view modern web content (this might be a while as I am still using several different Macs, the oldest being a 2005 PPC iMac with 10.5.8 and an fairly old/outdated flash, but it seems to still do ok with most web content). Our 2008 Intel Core 2 Duo iMac runs 10.6.8 and can do just about anything we need -- like you, I decided not to go to Lion because it didn't look like much of an improvement.
    * incompatibility with various commercial software, such as TurboTax, or with web sites I use to manage financial accounts and such things
    We got my daughter a new Macbook Air just before she started college, and Lion plus a new Macbook Air model came out a month later. I am glad now about it actually, I think some of the Lion "issues" would have annoyed her greatly (especially the odd dropping of wireless access points under Lion, everyone is on wireless at colleges now). I'm hoping that the 10.8 OS will be better than Lion. We had (probably still have) a certificate for a free Lion upgrade but we decided not to use it.

  • HT4623 how do I delete a contact not listed in the phone

    So I've been having various issues with iphones since I was foolish enough to purchase this inferior product, I have a contact in my phone we will call Sally Example. Sally Example is saved in my phone as 111-111-1111. This is a correction from the orginal save where she was listed as 111-111-1112. However when I search for Sally Example I'm displayed both phone numbers. When I look at the contact only the correct number is listed. This issue only really occurs when I'm in the process of creating a new text message and begin typing the name.
    So the screen looks like this:
                                                                                                        New Message                                             Cancel
    To: Sally Example                                                                                                                                               +
    Sally Example                                                                                                                                                 Cloud Icon
    Mobile     +1(111) 111-1111
    Sally Example
    Other      +1(111) 111-1112
    Why does it do this? How do I fix it?

  • HT4847 I purchased iCloud and was not able to use it because i have too much data. I purchased $100.00 plan and was told I could get a refund if it didnt work. Can you tell me how to get a refund? thank you

    How do I get a refund for my iCloud purchase? I purchased the $100.00 one and my data was too large so it could not be backed up

    Refund:
    If in the US, follow the link below (you must request a refund within 15 days) -
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16968425#16968425
    it gives the USA phone number - if you don't live there you will have to find an equivalent number from the 'Contact Us' link at bottom right of this page.
    Keeping current plan, but downgrading when it ends:
    Settings>icloud>Storage & Backup>Change Storage Plan.  Look at downgrade options.  There you can choose the plan you want when the current one ends.

  • When connecting to server the other computers will not mount on the desktop

    Hello
    I have three computers connected wireless and ethernet. When connecting to the imac and mac pro with my macbook pro the other computers will not mount on the desktop. I have never had a problem like this before.
    The imac and mac pro will mount the laptop or imac and the imac will mount the mac pro and laptop.
    When I connect to the server with the laptop I can access everything thru the shared folders but nothing will mount on the laptop desktop using the, connect to server.
    External HD connected with firewire will mount and the internal cd/dvd will mount.
    I have ran permissions repair on the laptop. Have I accidently changed some configuration I am not aware of?
    Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
    Thank You
    Dick

    Dick,
    I know this sounds silly but while in Finder goto (Finder)/(Preferences) and then make sure your on the (General) tab, make sure all the things you want to show are checked.
    If that doesn't help move the com.apple.finder.plist to the desktop you can find in in ~/Library/Preferences ( ~ = Your Home Folder), log out/log in, and see if that fixes the problem if not go ahead and move the plist file back.
    hope that helps,
    Weston

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

    In iTunes under the Apps tab for the iPhone device just uncheck any app you don't want synced to the phone. When you next sync the app will be removed from the phone but remain in the iTunes library.

    You can remove documents stored in iCloud by deleting them from any of your devices that have iCloud set up for Documents & Data. Removing your documents from iCloud reduces the amount of iCloud storage space you’re using.
