how do you launch an app from a shell? how about an example... say, launch the texteditor app.

To open an app from the terminal use the command open followed by the fullpath pf the command.
So for TextEdit you would enter

You don't. Apps from iTunes are for iOS devices. Apps for the Mac come from the Mac app store. Click the apple >> app store.

They are not taking up storage space. Apple knows you installed them at one time (="purchased", whether you paid money or not), and merely keeps a list so that if you wish to reinstall any of them on this or a future device, you can. This is useful if maybe you deleted them due to space constraints, and now have a device with more memory and wish to reinstall.
It's also useful for taking a trip down Memory Lane looking at all the useless apps you installed once then immediately deleted once you realized they were total garbage ...

How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?

How do you sync your apps from your iphone to a new PC?
When syncing you receive a warning that you are about to remove all content from your iphone (device)!!! I don't/can't have this happen!! I have the music and calenders etc on iCloud but the Apps don't get stored there (as far as I'm aware).
Should I de-register the old PC first? Will that then signal iTunes that this is OK to syc the apps with the new??
Thanks.

File>Transfer Purchases
You really need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device

TS1702 How do you uninstall an app from the IPad? I can find no uninstall feature in settings.

How do you uninstall an app from an iPad. I cannot find any uninstall feature in settings and no help feature.

Press on the app and hold until the apps begin to wiggle. Tap on the circled "x" that appears in the upper left corner.
If you sync with iTunes, then connect the device to your computer and open iTunes. Select the Apps option under the Library heading. Locate the app, select it, then press the Delete key. This removes it completely.

How do you clear updated apps from the App Store

How can you clear updated apps from the list in App Store?

What do you mean by "clear"?
Have a look here: iOS 8: App Store Updates Do Not Clear
If it is the badge count that does not fit, it might be that iTunes is the cause (12.0.1.26).

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 you delete an app from your iPhone? Deleting it from iTunes is not working.

Deleting the app from iTunes when my iPhone is hooked up the my MacBook isn't working. How do I get rid of apps I don't like?

On the springboard, locate the app you want to delete. For this example, I’ll use WeatherBug.
Tap and hold down the icon of the application you want to delete. After a few seconds your screen will start to “wiggle” and an X will appear next to each of the apps you’ve installed via the App Store.
Tap the X next to the icon of the app you want to remove. When prompted, selectDelete.
And now it’s gone.
If the application is listed in your iTunes Applications as well, you’ll want to remove it from there – or else it will re-install the next time you sync. Alternately you can keep the app in your iTunes Applications, and set iTunes not to sync all applications, just the ones you want to keep. See the Applications tab of your device the next time it’s connected in iTunes for syncing options.

Xcode, how do you take an app from an idea to a data model, data structure, or class structure?

Hey everyone!
I'm a beginner xcoder and computer engineering sophomore and have literally spent every hour of the past few weeks reading as much as I possibly can about becoming a developer.
I've found plenty of documentation, and guides on how to do very specific things in xcode and objective-C but am still looking for more information on one topic; how do you decide which data models/structures/controllers etc to use?
I mean, you personally. I've been looking for a resource on this and have not been able to find one. I just finished Apple's iOS Developers Guide and they mention "choosing a data model" but do not describe them in much detail.
The following is what is provided in the guide:
● Choose a basic approach for your data model:
● Existing data model code—If you already have data model code written in a C-based language, you
can integrate that code directly into your iOS apps. Because iOS apps are written in Objective-C, they
work just fine with code written in other C-based languages. Of course, there is also benefit to writing
an Objective-C wrapper for any non Objective-C code.
● Custom objects data model—A custom object typically combines some simple data (strings, numbers,
dates, URLs, and so on) with the business logic needed to manage that data and ensure its consistency.
Custom objects can store a combination of scalar values and pointers to other objects. For example,
the Foundation framework defines classes for many simple data types and for storing collections of
other objects. These classes make it much easier to define your own custom objects.
● Structured data model—If your data is highly structured—that is, it lends itself to storage in a
database—use Core Data (or SQLite) to store the data. Core Data provides a simple object-oriented
model for managing your structured data. It also provides built-in support for some advanced features
like undo and iCloud. (SQLite files cannot be used in conjunction with iCloud.)
● Decide whether you need support for documents:
The job of a document is to manage your app’s in-memory data model objects and coordinate the storage
of that data in a corresponding file (or set of files) on disk. Documents normally connote files that the user
created but apps can use documents to manage non user facing files too. One big advantage of using
documents is that the UIDocument class makes interacting with iCloud and the local file system much
simpler. For apps that use Core Data to store their content, the UIManagedDocument class provides similar
support.
I suppose my question boils down to, how do you decide which structures to use? If you can provide an example of an app idea and how its implemented that would be very helpful and much appreciated!
For example, to implement the idea of an app which allows users to progress through levels of knowledge of a certain subject and rewarding them with badges and such (this is not an actual app just a whim) how would one model that?
Thanks in advance for all your help!!!

Trial and error.
I wish I had a better answer for you, but that pretty much encapsulates it. There is some, but not much, good wisdom out there, but it takes a significant amount of experience to be able to recognize it. The software development community if currently afflicted with a case of copy-and-paste-itis. And the prognosis is poor.
The solution is to be brutal to yourself and others. Focus on what you need and ignore everything else. Remember that other people have their own needs and methods and they might not be applicable to you. Apple, for example, can hire thousands of programmers, set them to coding for six months, pick the best results, and have the end-users spend their own time and monety to test it. If you don't have Apple's resources and power, think twice about adopting Apple's approach. And I am talking from a macro to a micro perspective. Apple's sample and boilerplate code is just junk. Don't assume you can't do better. You can.
Unfortunately, all this takes time and practice. You can read popular books, but never assume that anyone knows more than you do. Maybe they do and maybe they don't. It takes time to figure that out. Just do your best, ignore the naysayers, and doubt other people even more than you doubt yourself.

That's not possible. Your purchased apps are also available on your computer in iTunes / View My Account / Purchase History.

How do you turn off apps from sending alerts to rate them or advertising new games on sale?

I just opened my FIFA 12 game app and first thing that popped up was an alert advertising games that are 80% off. In my notifications I had everything off, notfications center was off, alert style was on none, badge app icon was off, sounds where turned off and view in lock screen was off too. So I'm wondering how I can control not getting these alerts from apps like this one and others who sometimes send alerts to rate them.

I'd do three things,
1. Contact the app developer and complain about the request for feedback,
2. Leave feedback that describes the negative aspect of these alerts requesting feedback, and finally,
3. Delete the app from you iPad.

How do you delete an app from your iPhone and everywhere else?

Vonage just messaged me that they have a new iPhone app replacing the old one.
OK. I'll download it.
But I want to get rid of the old Vonage app from everywhere it exists in my Apple ecosystem (2 iPhones, iPad and iTunes on my Mac, maybe even my iCloud)
How is this done?

How do you download an app from a different country

I am an American currently living for 7 months in France. I have wifi in my appartment but in order to use my iPod on the wireless network, I have to install an app from the telecommunication company. I tried doing this, and it changed stores to the French one, but when I typed in my AppleID, it said that my ID was only valid in the US app store. Do I really have to create a new account in order to use the French app store? Or can I do something to add the French app store to my current ID? Please help!

To switch your account to the French Store you need a French bank card and a French billing address for the bank card.
Go to the bottom of the MAS app and change the store to the US. Sign into your US account. Buy what you want.

How do you permanently delete apps from iTunes 11.0.1?

I've seen a few community discussions about this however it seems to be discussing the former version of iTunes. I have version 11.0.1 and when I right click to delete as has been instructed previously I don't get a delete option. In fact, I don't get any sort of option.
So, I'm hoping to get some sort of insight to delete some of these apps from iTunes that were trials... or silly games I downloaded when I was bored and never plan to play again. It just gets old sorting through them all.
Thanks!

Hi HarmWong,
See if this helps. It is from the iTunes 11 for Windows Apple Support site:
Delete an item from your library
                        Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
                        Click Delete Item.
                        Do one of the following:
   Remove the item only from your iTunes library: Click Keep File.
   Delete the item from your computer: Click Move to Recycle Bin. The item is removed the next time you empty the Recycle Bin.
Removing an item from a playlist doesn’t remove it from your iTunes library or your computer. Deleting a playlist or folder doesn’t remove the songs from your library or hard disk.
When you delete a folder, all the playlists and folders inside that folder are also deleted.
If you can’t remove a song, make sure you didn’t select a song in a Smart Playlist with “Live updating” turned on.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB
