How to get rid of corruped app update taking up space.

This morning I went on iTunes and saw that there was an update to Dead space HD for the ipad and downloaded it. I then went and synced my ipad as usual to have the update installed. The syncing process got to about 90% and then iTunes came up with a box stating that the ipad was full and the app couldnt be installed. Now my free space has gone from over 900mb to just 80mb and the other category went from a few hundred mb to 1.5gb. I restarted the ipad to see if that would fix the issue and it didnt. I then told itunes to restore the ipad from the last backup but that didnt get rid of the other category and I still have the corruped dead space app in my memory. Now I dont know what to do here. I could completely erase my ipad and put all of my apps, songs and, video files on again like when I bought the ipad, but then I would loose all of my current app data. I simply cant do that as the data on some of my apps is very important or would take months to play again like with some games I have. I also cant just leave the device as it is as I really cant get by with just 80mb. What do you guys think I should do? Thanks!

I uninstalled the app and now have 800mb free but the other category has not changed in size at all. Before today I had 900mb free with the dead space app installed so that didnt work. Any other ideads?

  • How to Get Rid of those annoying Updates on Home p...

    How do you get rid of those annoying UPDATES that appear on my Home Page.  In the past I was able to go to VIEW>COMPACT VIEW,then hit DEFAULT then MAXIMIZE and all UPDATES would disappear,infact all ads too and I would only be left with several of my contacts profile pictures at the top.  Today I had to change my Password cause I forgot my password and I cant get rid of those updates PASSWORD TOKEN and PASSWORD SUCCESSFULY CHANGED.  Nothing works to delete these.  Tell me how.  Thanks 

    I am thinking Skype doesn't offer that feature. I "Deleted Contacts" and they will not go away on my home page. It is getting to the point of beyond annoying and traumatic. I want them to go away and I have no power to do that on Skype? I emailed Skype and they simply told me to wait. I just posted like 20 status updates myself, thinking there is a limit. I don't see their faces anymore, but the scroll bar just got shorter.
    @Skype... if you are reading this... do another update that allows us to delete annoying home page updates... ESPECIALLY when they are deleted from your contacts!

  • How to get rid of the java update virus?

    Everytime i go on a web page something pops up saying to install Java Runtime Environment in order to web content and it gives me the option to click more info (to go to the page to download the Java Runtime Environment) OR ok. Before i clicked ok until it continued to pop and and began to annoy me so i decided to install it. It still pops up and won't go away. I found out it is a virus and i don't know how to get rid of it.
    PLEASE HELP!

    Most likely, you have a web plugin that depends on the Java runtime distributed by Apple, such as the Facebook video calling plugin or the "NexDef" plugin for watching baseball streams. If you no longer need the plugin, remove it. Otherwise, install Java.

  • How do I get rid of an app update notification that doesn't apply to my version of OS

    I have an app on my iMac which is running Snow Leopard. A recent udate has been issued that only applies to Lion OS but the update notification still shows on my App Store. I can't get rid off it even if I try downloading it. Any suggestions please?

    HI Dennis...
    Try dragging the App Store icon straight up off the Dock so it goes, "poof" ...
    Now go to your Applications folder. Drag the App Store icon to the Dock.
    Restart your Mac.
    Hopefully the update badge is gone.

  • How to get rid of stuck app?

    My niece downloaded Instagram to my iPad while she was visiting this summer.  After she left I removed it from my iPad (held down until wiggled clicked x).   Everything was fine until iOS 6 update when it appeared in my update list along with a number of other apps.  I clicked update all and everything got stuck.  I followed trouble shooting steps and synced to my computer which got everything moving again.  But Instagram is still in my update list but now the update box is greyed out.  I can't seem to delete it from the app list either.  How do I get rid of this, it's driving me bananas?!

    Sometimes this clears up weird issues on the iPad.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. But if you try this ....You will have to enter all of your device settings again. All of the settings in the settings app will return to out of the box/factory defaults ... wallpaper, brightness, Safari settings, Auto Lock .... all of those settings ... so you will have to enter them in again.

  • How to get rid of iOS apps from iTunes?

    I deleted some apps from my iPhone and iPad by pressing long until the apps start to wiggle and then tapping the X. I also deleted the same apps from iTunes Apps. But every time I run the Apps update in iTunes it re-downloads these deleted apps. How do I get rid of them for good?

    You have to contact Apple if you want to change your Country or Region with a credit.

  • How to get rid of purchased App

    I have mistakenly downloaded two applications that are for an IOS later than what I have in my Ipod Touch. I am trying to remove them from the iTunes library because every time I do a sync I get an error message but highlighting them in ITunes and pressing Delete (as the help suggests) does not do it.  How do I get rid of them?

    You can't permanently delete any item from your purchase historry, you can only hide them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

  • How to get rid of all the blank empty white space at bottom of photoshop palettes?

    on a large screen the palettes can have big tall empty white spaces below the last imput.  Sometimes the corner size adjustment box is off the screen
    and I want to eliminate the empty space..
    Can I eliminate this extra blank space (without changing display resolution)?  Why is it there?

    When I take a screen shot     see attached    It shows the bottom of the, in this case, layers and channel, patettes but it is not actually visible or accessible on  my cinema 30" screen.  I know I can change the resolution so the size adjustment boxes can be reached and resize the white space away in that manner, but I like the resolution as is 2048 x1280 for my bad eyesight and continually resizing seems like wasted effort.  There is no purpose for the extra white space so I want to make it so the palettes only show what is in them.  Probably not possible?
    separate  issue:  can you make it so the tool bar is alway in the front?  Why should it ever be behind anything?

  • How do I get rid of an app that won't quit? scanner problem

    I ust tried to install a driver for my POS epson Perfection 1260. the app doesn't work with 10.4.8 and when i tried to delete their 'epson scan monitor' app I'm told it can be deleted because it's in use. I cant force quit because it doesn't show up as an option to quit. any ideas on how to get rid of the app that wont let it self be thrown away?
    also any reccomendations on a sscanner that is designed and is fully functional with 10.4.8?
    Thanks for the help

    Hi Brian, Scanner drivers and their add ons can be problematic. I used to have HP's driver installed which played havoc with sleeping - the computers', not mine
    The epson scan monitor has probably been installed into /Library/StartupItems which is why it's telling you its in use.
    Try deleting it from within Safe Boot or open Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities and quit it from there before deleting it.
    I can vouch for The Hatter's recommendation, VueScan. It's a wonderful little lightweight app that doesn't insinuate itself into StartupItems and mess sleeping up.
    Good luck,
    Adrian

  • Search plusnetwork seems to be taking over my computer, and I don't know how to get rid of it?

    Any ideas on how to get rid of searchplusnetwork, it is taking over my computer

    Hi j.hanc,
    Can you give us more details as to what you mean by "taking over"?
    Did it steal your home page? If so, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]]. Your homepage might have been changed by a particular site. Sites like MSN, Yahoo, etc have been know to ask to become your homepage.
    There are steps in that article to reset your homepage preferences to default. I would try that first to clear out any strangeness. If that works, you can try setting your homepage again to your personal preference.
    Did it take over search as well? You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Search bar]].
    If the address bar search has been changed as well, you might want to take a look at [[Location bar search]].
    If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]].
    Finally, your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].

  • How do you get rid of the pending update from app store updates screen?

    I own an 64GB iPad 2+3G. The App Store icon has a red circle with a number 3 in it. That means I have 3 updates pending.
    I tried to download the updates to Pandora and Kindle using 3G at first. It did not work. I assumed it was because it was over 20 MB.
    (I did not try the Vegas Towers one.) I went to the library and it still would not download via their wifi.
    The description of the updates mention the retina display of the new iPad (3). Is that the cause of the download problem? I have already downloaded the iOS 5.1 at the library. Well, it is not that big a deal for me if I don't get the updates. But how do I get rid of the pending updates? How do I get rid of that little red circle? Also, I have not been able to use the Pandora or Kindle apps. They just keep saying waiting. I got boxes that said download failed and offering choice of done or retry. Since nothing happens, I chose done. So, I cannot update my apps, and in the meantime I cannot use the apps because the downloads stalled. I would like to abort the downloads and get rid of the updates from the update screen. I want to be able to use the apps again. Can anyone provide a solution? Thanks!

    Hi Panamark,
    The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
    I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
    I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
    It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
    As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
    I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
    I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
    I don't have any weather apps.
    Let me know what happened when you get the chance.
