How do I stop updates from reactivating deleted apps?

Every time I update my phone, it brings back apps I've deleted. How do I stop this?

I have posted these suggestions many times and one or another have worked for other users in the past. Give them a try, but YMMV.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to computer?

How can I stop iTunes from transferring purchased apps from iPad to my computer? I don't want them taking up space on my computer. iPad backups and apps on the cloud are enough to ensure my apps are backed up, so I don't understand why they need to be on iTunes too. I'm running Mavericks, iTunes 11.1.5 and iOS 7.0.6.

There isn't an app for that!
As far as I can tell there is no option to give you that control. It is worth noting that apps can be withdrawn from the store at any time. Should your device need restoring you need all the apps in your library to transfer to it before the app data can be successfully restored. Pulling that all down from the cloud would be time consuming.
If space is becoming an issue you should consider moving the library to a bigger drive (which you should also backup to another).
As a temporary measure you could try deleting some larger apps using Finder from within iTunes/iTunes Media/Mobile Applications while keeping the entries in your library. iTunes may complain during syncs that it cannot copy apps to the device because they cannot be found, but it should not clear them from the device. Test first on a single app that doesn't have any data that you would mind losing in case the behavior has changed from the last time I tested it.

My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone

My wife and I share a computer, but different Itunes accounts. How do I stop itunes from synchronising her apps to my phone?

If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

How to pause/stop updates from App Store on iPad?

Currently, I am on holiday making use of a prepaid mobile Internet connection. By accident I pushed the button "Update All" in the App Store.
Then it started downloading 18 apps and consumed more then many MB's in just a few minutes. My prepaid Internet is just 2GB for a month.
Now because of this within 2 days I consumed 1.1GB. After my error by pushing the wrong button, it could not be stopped what so ever.
This is very annoying and cost me in 10 mins at least 20 Euro's. Why does Apple not support a pause/stop button? Or did they just forget to include this button in their App Store app? I was pretty up-sat. You recognize you pushed to wrong button, you see all the apps starting downloading loads of MB's. but you cannot find any button to stop it. You can't do anything about it and just let it happen and hope the damage is not too high.
Please Apple, develop a pause/resume/cancel button in the App Store when someone accidentally pushed the "update all" button !!!!
Many thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Jan van Duuren

Try to force shutdown holding home button and lock.button at the same time

How do I stop itunes from also deleting music from my iphone or ipad when I delete it on itunes on my macbook pro?

I noticed that when I delete music or a movie from my macbook pro's itunes, the minute I connect the iphone or ipad, it automaticly removes the song from the devices. I am new to Mac so I am not sure how to prevent this from occuring. I know that when I was using my Windows PC to sync my devices, on the PC's itunes I could set it up to where I would be able to add or delete music to the devised manually without this worry. If anyone can offer me some help, I would appreciate it! Thanks!

How do I stop history from being deleted after 90 days?

I've noticed recently that my history keeps on getting removed after 90 days, the default setting. So, right now, my history only goes back to October 2011, when just yesterday it went back to September 2011. I have not deleted anything, it's done it itself. My privacy settings are set to simply 'Remember history' which I assumed would be indefinitely. I looked in the about:config and it told me that in a previous version of Firefox the "Keep history for n amount of days" setting, which doesn't show up on this version (9.0.1) was set to 9999, just as I left it. For some reason however, this does not seem to work anymore, and I'm losing more history everyday. Is there a place where everything is stored on the hard drive which I can just save for now until this is solved, or do I have to start saving things manually elsewhere other than on Firefox.

There is no time limit in Firefox 4+ versions for the history.<br />
Firefox determines automatically how many pages can be kept without affecting the performance.<br />
You can see the current value via the reads-only pref places.history.expiration.transient_max_pages on the about:config page.<br />
You can reset the no longer used browser.history_expire_days* prefs from older Firefox versions to remove them on the next start.
See:
* http://blog.bonardo.net/2010/01/20/places-got-async-expiration
If you lose history after 90 days then it has been removed via other means like cleanup software or by deleting the history unless you have exceeded that maximum page limit.

How do I stop iPhoto from automatically deleting photos from my camera after import?

I'm using iPhoto 11 version 9.2.3 and importing photos from a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS35 via USB.
From what I can gather, iPhoto should prompt me after an import as to whether I want to delete the imported photos from the camera or not.
Instead, I get no option at all and iPhoto goes right ahead and deletes the imported photos.This is a problem as the camera is shared and used across a few Macs.
I can't find any options anywhere in iPhoto to prevent this behaviour. I've made sure that iPhoto is launched with the camera (I thought this might be the problem initially), but to no avail.
Can anyone please help?

Thanks Tom,
I fear that either I'm stupid or blind because I don't see that option in the Advanced pane either. Here's what I have in Advanced:
Enable this account
Include when automatically checking for new messages
Compact mailboxes automatically (this is greyed out)
Keep copies of messages for offline viewing (then a pull down menu):
     All messages and their attachments (currently this is selected)
     All messages, but omit attachments
     Only messages that I've read
     Don't keep copies of any messages
Check with your system administrator before changing any of the advanced options below:
     IMAP Path Prefix:
     Port:
     Authentication:
Use IDLE command if the server supports it (this is greyed out)
I see the option you're talking about on my older computer that's running Leopard, but not on the new one running Lion.
Cheers,
Bonnie

How can I stop iTunes from downloading an app that I already deleted?

I tried to download some wallpaper app using the app store on my iPhone, but the download was taking too long so I deleted it. Now every time I open iTunes on my computer, it keeps trying to download. I have tried several times deleting it on my computer, but it still keeps trying to download.
I have an iPhone 3G S and it has all the latest updates, including iCloud.

What happened to Apple wanting people to be able to use an iPhone without having a computer at all?
I don't mind keeping a backup on my external hard drive, but I don't want iTunes to manage that anyway. It always makes a mess of things. And I definitely don't want it offloading stuff onto my main hard drive. I just don't have the space on there for all the junk, which is why I have two external hard drives in the first place.

How can I stop email from being deleted on computer?

I upgraded from a 3gs to a 4s today. Everything is working fine except my email. On my 3gs I had my email set up to never delete from the server that way I could delete the mail on my phone but not on my computer. With the new 4s I can't find the never delete from server option. Can anyone help me? It's a hotmail address that I'm using.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!!!

Look in Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>tap your hotmail account>Look through the settings (usually under Advanced)

How do I stop ActiveSync from deleting emails on server

Hi,
We came across a problem where users are deleting emails from their activesync devices accidentally. We need to stop it besides providing them activesync facility.
Is there any way we can restrict sync of email deletion from activesync devices so the sync from Device to Server remains disabled. What we want is
Server --> Device Sync Enable
Device --> Server SYnc Disable
Hasan

Hi
You will have to look at a POP3 account that leaves the mail on the server.
I have not seen a setting in active sync that stop mail from being deleted. If you make a change on your phone it will update the mailbox.
Mails will be in the deleted items. How are users "accidently" deleting mail when you actually have to press the delete/trash button?

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder] and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Help - how do I stop Itunes from auto update

How to keep iTunes from automatically updating your iPod
Another Easier Alternative:
While connecting the iPod to the computer, hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys in Windows (CMD + Option keys on a Mac). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes. The iPod will then appear in the iTunes source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto-sync and then you can release the keys. This action may take between 3 and 25 seconds depending on your computer.
You can then right-click on the iPod icon in iTunes source column and select iPod Options, then check the box that says Manually manage songs and playlists. You can now manage your library without losing any songs on the iPod.
If connecting to a
i different computer
than the iPods Home Computer, iTunes will ask you if you want to update your iPod and give you an opportunity to opt out. This will not happen if you connect to the Home computer iTunes will auto-sync without warning!. Best to know the difference.
Then: Transfer music manually

Hi iprover,
Let me first say that I am NO EXPERT with anything Apple and really have only started looking into this iCloud stuff a few hours ago because I'm trying to help my mom free up some space on her iCloud. But anyway, here's what I'm learning and what I THINK might be happening to you.
Also, if any Apple support people (do they browse the forums to dish out helpful hints?) or people who probably know infinitely more than me about this stuff, please do chime in and confirm / correct my statements!
This is what I gather.
iCloud for Windows is set up with a local folder (let's call it "C:\Users\Administrator\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream") where iCloud will store photos uploaded to the Photo Stream. This will allow you to view your Photo Stream photos on your PC.
This does not mean that this is a PC backup of your Photo Stream photos, but just a way to view your Photo Stream from your PC. That being said, the general Photo Stream rules apply: 1. No videos are on the photo-stream, and 2. Photos on the Photo Stream will be removed after ~30 days and/or after hitting the Photo Stream limit of 1000 photos.
My guess is that the iCloud Windows App will delete photos from the local folder that are older than ~30 days and/or delete all but the most recent 1000 items if the 1000-item limit is reached.
That is a scary thought! I really hope you did not lose all your pictures, but my guess is that the iCloud local folder is NOT meant for backup but instead is the iCloud Windows App's sandbox for updating and managing Photo Stream photos.
All that being said, I'd say it's important to back up your photos in a separate folder not related to the iCloud local folder.

When I restored my iphone 4 all my deleted emails were back. like 4000 of them. How do I stop this from happening? Thanks

I recently restored my iphone 4 when it froze up and when the restore was done, I had over 4000 emails in my inbox. All my deleted messages came back. How do I stop that from happening? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

You have POP mail account. That's how those types of email accounts work.
You want an IMAP type of account, where if you delete on phone, it will also delete on server. Should you ever restore your device again it will only update the mail that hasn't been deleted.
You didn't say which email service you use, but try contacting them to see if they offer IMAP. Or you can switch.
