How do I remove unwanted apps from my phone?

How do I remove unwanted apps from my iphone 4s?

It could be that Restrictions are set on the iPhone to prevent deleting apps:
Open the Settings App
General
Restrictions (the button will indicate if it is on, and you will be prompted to type the security code)
Either disable Restrictions or Turn Deleting app back on

    I share my iTunes accont with my kids. Many of the songs that they purchase, I do not want in my iphone Library, and I don't want them to play when I have my phone on shuffle. How an I remove unwanted songs from my phone library withot affecting their devices?

    These are the downsides of a shared library because if you delete the song from your library it will get also automatically  deleted from your kids library. If you want to proceed then please follow this guide: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4915

  • TS1702 How do you remove unwanted apps from your newsstand?

    How do you remove unwanted magazines from your newsstand?

    I have the ipod touch 5th generation. I tried to remove the magazine from the newsstand by pressing and holding the magazine until it wiggled but no delete option appeared (that small little "x" in the upper corner). After some rather frustrating searches that revealed nothing I plugged my ipod into my computer via USB and opened itunes. From there i clicked on the ipod button at the top right under the search option which opened the ipod contents. Click on Apps and you can remove magazines from here. Hope this helps!

  • How do I remove unwanted apps from my Iphone 5C?

    I have gone to Settings - General- Usage and have updated the apps I wish to show on the screen, powered down and powered back up, yet the icons are still showing on the screen. What can I do to make the icons go away?

    What apps are you trying to remove? The area you describe in settings does not remove apps from the phone. You cannot remove apps that are native to iOS, such as Weather, Stocks, etc. Apps that you have downloaded from the App Store can be removed by holding down on the icon until it starts to wiggle. That will display a small "x" in the corner of the icon. Tap on that and it will remove the app from the phone.

  • How do i remove an app from my iPad?

    How do I remove unwanted apps from my iPad?

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

    How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
    I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
    So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

    Hi Andy ..
    no longer have or use
    If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
    For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

  • How do I remove an app from the menubar

    I deleted an app form my lanchpad when it was requesting a password as resident on the menubar and when I try to quit it at the menubar it does not close.  How do I remove this app from the menubar?

    Command-click it and drag it out. If that doesn't work, find and run an uninstaller for that application.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • HT201272 How do I remove an App from My Apple cloud

    How do I remove an App from my Itunes Account

    You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    But that doesn't appear to be working properly on iOS 7 - hiding the app on your computer and then logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then logging back in may make it hidden on it.
