How to pre-install apps on give-away iPods?
A science program I will be working with this summer would like to provide each visiting student an iPod Touch pre-loaded with various education applications. We obviously would want the applications to remain on their iPods once taken home and synced on their own computer / iTunes account.
Is this possible, and if so, how would one go about this?
Thanks so much for any assistance you can share.
Best,
Michael

That would work, but then again they could just as easily set up or log onto their accounts on a PC/Mac there and sync up .. basically the fact always remains that the apps need to be bought within the specific owners account in i-tunes for them to remain on the ipod touch in future sync's.
One workaround to this would be to give the students a cash reimbursement for the apps that you would like them to have, and allow them to buy on their own credit cards and accounts the apps once they have their ipod touches (using either the method in the above post, or by getting them to log into their account on a PC/mac).
I would have suggested giving them each an apps store pre-paid card (if they work in your country) .. but that would also depend on the value of the apps you would want to gift as to whether it would be feasible .. and the people would still have to use/create their own account that would need a credit card attached.

How to update pre-installed apps in macbook pro?
I bought a macbook pro last middle of Oct-2014. It uses Maverick OS and has pre-installed apps like iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand. Then the new OS Yosemite came. I updated my OS. Then I receive notice of updates for the said pre-installed apps. When I used to log-in my apple ID to installed the updates, App Store message that these apps were purchased using different account. How can I install the update? Do I need to bring my macbook to Apple to install the updates?
Contact Apple store support before going to the Apple Store.

How much space do you get on a ipad air 16gb considering the pre-installed apps? Can any of those be removed to free up space?
With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.
For a 16 GB device that is 2.4 - 3.2 GB free. So 13 minus 3= 10 GB of storage for music, photos, movies and documents. -

How do I delete pre-installed apps?
I do not have a lot of space on my phone and it takes up space so i have to delete other apps in order for updates and have little room for other apps I want. My school also took off some of the pre-installed apps on ipads given to the school and I don't think they would jail break all 600+ I-pads especially being as I go to a public school.
Thanks dumpystig, but that menu sequence will only allow to delete purchased apps and a limited number of Pre-installed discretionary apps such as Accu Weather. It, for example, does not allow to delete the Calendar app - nor does it make available the 'pocket news' app which is the one I want to get rid off. The phone is running PR1.2 and was purchased, unlocked, from a Nokia shop. Thanks

How to hide pre-installed apps on iPhone 5s that aren't in use?
I'd like to remove or hide pre-installed apps that I don't use on my iPhone (also iPad). For example, I NEVER use the "Stocks"; "Game Center"; "Newstand" or "Weather" apps. It's pretty annoying that the apps are there taking up screen space (yes, I'm a tad bit OCD'ish). Is it possible to hide or remove the pre-installed apps? Thank you!
No. You can group them into a folder and/or move them to another page of the home screen.

A1347.. MD388LL/A Mac mini pre-installed apps lost..?
Did my A1347.. MD388LL/A Mac mini (srl # C07L83VPDWYM, November 2013) come with the numbers app? I think the when I copied my previous mini's setup onto the new mini, I lost all of the newer pre-installed apps... and it didn't come with a backup system's disk... Is there a way to re-accuire those originally supplied apps, without having to buy them again?
I had been using Mavericks on my old mini, and the new one wasn't running that version of OS X, so I restored from my backup to get back where I had been before the old mini died and I bought the newer mini... I didn't miss anything until I was going to help a friend, and they were asking questions about the pre-installed Apple apps... Numbers specifically... and I realized that I most likely had had this apps on my new machine, and had blown them all away when I restored the new mini to what the old mini had been running.... It's not the end of the world... I just got to thinking that there might be an Apple archive somewhere that would act like resource for repairing messed up apps supplied on new machines... In the old days.... you'd have received a disk along with the new computer to do that soft of thing.... No??

Pre Installed Apps on Droid Maxx
I currently use a Droid 2. One of the issues I face is a number of pre-installed apps which I don't want, yet keep sending me alerts a few times per week looking to update them. Of course, to update them, I must sign up for services that I don't want or need.
I would like to upgrade to the Droid Maxx. However, since this issue is really bugging me, I think it would be fair to ask what apps come pre-installed on the phone. And among those apps, which cannot be deleted if I wish to? Can someone tell me which apps are pre-installed yet cannot be deleted? Especially those that will continually bother me about adding unwanted services?
I figure that if I am going to upgrade, it be to a phone that doesn't nag me all the time.
BryanThe MAXX came with many pre-installed apps, but not the ones you have mentioned. Cloud is on mine, but I never use it, and it's never bothered me to do anything with it. The pre-installed apps on the MAXX are:
1. Amazon.com
2. Amazon Kindle
3. Amazon MP3
4. Amazon Apps
5. Motorola Assist
6. Audible
7. Calculator
8. Calendar
9. Caller Name and ID (useless app which you can opt out of)
10. Camera
11. Chrome
12. Clock
13. Double Twist (media player)
14. Downloads
15. Email
16. Emergency Alerts
17. G+ Photos

Out of these 50 pre-installed apps, not one has bugged me yet. You can always "Disable" pre-installed apps by going to Settings / Apps / (choose app) / Disable.
Better than that, if you want to keep the app, but never be updated, Go to Settings / Active Notifications / Manage Notification Types. You can manually select which apps you would like to notify you, and which ones you would rather just sit there and look pretty. You can also hide notification details when using PIN or password lock. You can also select to have the phone sleep at night (silence notifications) so nothing will bother you while you sleep.
If you're worried about your location access, you're kinda out of luck in today's world. All smartphones are GPS-equipped. If you are downloading an app which requires "Full Network Access", decide whether or not this app really DOES need full network access. Say it's Weatherbug, for instance...Weatherbug's developers are trustworthy, and the app uses your location information to give you accurate weather forecasts. Now say you're downloading an app that provides wallpapers. This type of app seriously doesn't need full network access to function, so it would be up to you at that point whether or not you trust the developer.
Hope this helped! -

Disabling apps will leave them on the phone. Also the amount of space the bloat takes up is negligible. -

"one app installed by company"
The last app is needed for when I do work. It doesn't need to run on the background. When I'm doing work, I need to input some information in that app, and sync it to my company's server.
I would like to install some apps (free) of my choosing. But I'm coming across a hurdle...
I choose "App Store" in Home.
I search for a free App (for example the Google Search app by Google Inc)
I'm taken to the app's info screen. I tap the blue "Free" button.
The button becomes a green "Install App" button.
I get a pop-up box saying
Apple ID password
[email protected]
[password]
How can I install apps of my choosing without having a "work app" get deleted? This work app was installed on the "[email protected]" Apple ID.
Thank you.Ingo2711, when you did this:
I logged out of my AppleID on the iPod, took it to his computer, synced it, which erased all of my apps. I installed the default apps plus one app that he bought using his account info.
You made his computer the syncing computer.
When you did this:
Connected to my Mac and iTunes and tried to sync one of the apps I bought with my account. The app shows up on one of the pages before you start the sync, but once you apply the sync, it does not transfer.
And, of cause, no restrictions set at all.
You changed syncing computers but you can only sync apps (and some other things like photos) from only your one syncing computer.
