How do you remove an app mistakenly uploaded if it was meant for iphone only and won't load on iPod Touch?

I uploaded an iPhone app to my iPod Touch by mistake, and of course it won't load, but it keeps trying. I can't remove it when I sync to the computer because no "x" appears on the darkened app. Is there another way to remove the app?
Thanks for your help.

Pianoperson,
Try removing the App from iTunes and resyncing your iPod.  If that works, you can go ahead and redownload the application. Just make sure to not to sync it to your iPod touch.

  • HT1665 how do i found out if a company is certified manufactury (made for iphone) chargers and not fake.

    how do i found out if a company is certified manufactury (made for iphone) chargers and not fake.

    It is not possible to confirm that an adapter is genuine by inspecting its exterior, and inspecting the interior to identify engineering shortcomings that differ from Apple's design destroys the power adapter.
    Many counterfeit adapters can be identified through obvious misspellings on their case, but the only way to be absolutely certain you are using a genuine Apple power adapter is to purchase it from Apple or an authorised Apple reseller. Counterfeit and potentially dangerous power adapters bearing fraudulent consumer product safety agency approval markings are very common.

  • 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!

  • HT201304 How do you remove an app? In this case, it was viewed, purchased, free in this case,  downloaded, then removed, but still appears in the purchased section, I do not want the younger kids to see it? There appears to be no remove or hide function?

    How do you remove a previously downloaded app, that is now removed, but still appears under purchased?
    I have multiple devices on the same account and do not want younger kids to see the app and its icon/description?

  • How do you remove non-App Store apps that are not in Applications from Launchpad?

    Hi, this is my first post to the Apple forums...
         So, I use the Steam game app a lot to manage my different games on my computer. Recently, I cleaned out the games I no longer wanted or had lost interest in, and all of their files, INCLUDING the .app files stored in Application Support, were successfully deleted. But, Steam also automatically adds app shortcuts to the Launchpad when you download a game, which is an option I always left checked during the download process- because why not, right?
         The problem is that now, even after completely deleting ALL TRACE of these apps, they remain on my Launchpad. Just keeping them there isn't a solution; as a very neat, organized person, it would annoy me to the end of time to have random apps on my Launchpad that don't do anything. And since these apps aren't from the App store, they don't have an (X) in the upper left hand corner when you hold down on them.
         I don't know tons about Macs, but after a quick scan of things online people have recommended deleting all the files for your Dock under Application Support, because apparently Launchpad is based on your dock. But that doesn't sound right to me. I thought Launchpad was based on Applications? Again, I'm more savvy with Windows but I just got this thing a year ago so I'm doing what I can.
         On a side note, these game applications were stored in a folder titled "Games", which was originally identical within both Applications and Launchpad. Once I began deleting apps from the folder in Applications, however, they got stuck in the folder within Launchpad.
         I also cannot move Game Center out of the folder in Launchpad, and when I do so it says "This app cannot be modified/deleted", even though I originally had Game Center outside of the folder.
    Computer specs:
    MacBook Pro 15 Inch (mid 2009)
    Running OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) [I updated just last night, I had been running 10.9 before and still had this problem]
    Processor: 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB

    I found the following in the Macbook Help, and the last bullet worked for me.
    "You can uninstall apps you got from the Mac App Store, from other websites, or from discs. You can’t uninstall apps that are part of OS X, such as Safari and Mail.
    Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, hold down an app’s icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, then click an app’s delete button . If you later want the app, you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store.If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, it can’t be uninstalled in Launchpad. For more information about Launchpad, see Use Launchpad to view and open apps.
    Apps that have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. If an app is inside a folder, it might have an Uninstaller. Open the app’s folder. If you see Uninstall [App] or [App] Uninstaller, double-click it and follow the onscreen instructions.
    Apps that don’t have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. Drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, then choose File > Put Back.WARNING: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your Mac. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them."

  • Iphone/ipod touch apps won't load on ipod touch

    I have tried to download apps that indicate that they can be used on iphone or ipod touch with 2.2. My ipod touch is updated but the apps won't load. Any ideas?

    i also have the same problem, i came across this topic hoping to find an answer. luckily i had just solved my problem. this happened to me twice... i resolved the first problem by restoring to factory setting which is not a good solution cause all my FREE downloaded apps were erased too. so i have to download again.... lately it happened again.. same problem.. but i have resolved it by updating my ups in app store... HOPE this wont happen again.... cause its really bothersome since there arent so many wifi spots here... programs i had are mostly free so maybe its one reason for this problem.... the last app i used b4 the problem was a pdf viewing app... hope this helps...

  • How do you remove pref file to perform clean install on Firefox for android?

    Uninstallling Firefox on android does not remove the pref file thus does not allow clean install. I have also been unable to find any way to reset everything to default. Both Firefox and beta do nothing but crash and will not even load a full web page. Factory reset device LG g pad 7.0 lte. V410 android 4.4.2. Also does not help.

    Its under system root\data\data\org.mozilla.firefox(beta)\files\mozilla\ here you will see the profile folder xxxx.default. This is where its located. If you want a true clean install, uninstall Firefox then delete the org.mozilla.firefox. Then reinstall.

  • IMovie app won't load on ipod touch (4th Generation)

    I updated software to 5.1.1.  Downloaded the app.  Synced to device.  It shows up on the screen, and says "waiting" underneath.  But it never loads.  Any ideas?

    Thiss sometimes happens with apps.
    Try deleting it, then re-installing (once you've bought an app you can download it again forever).
    OR try restarting the iPod.
    IT might be a slo Internet connection, or some other app is trying to install too.
