How to remove app that is no longer in app store

This is probably the worst I've ever experienced with my iPhone.
I had to restore my phone from backup. And it restored all apps except one. And this app (Quotes++) is no longer available on app store. But unfortunately I can't remove it the normal way by holding the icon and then click X. It does nothing. And the status is waiting forever. That is actually not so bad but every few minutes, it always prompt me with an error downloading the app, this is where it got so annoying because it stopped anything I was doing like watching movie or playing game, or anything.  I've tried to remove it from iTunes but it also didn't do anything. What can I do?
When prompted with the Done/Retry prompt, I've tried clicking both of them but it kept prompting me again and again after a few minutes.
I can't paste the snapshot or attach an image here so let me try typing what the prompt is saying.
1. This is the annoying popup that keeps appearing.
     Unable to Download App "Quan.Quotes" could not be downloaded at this time. Done or Retry buttons?
     Notes: no matter which button i clicked i still get the same prompt after a few minutes.
2. When trying to delete the app, by touching the icon and hold it then touch the X button. I got this prompt:
     Deleting "" will also delete all of its data. Delete or Cancel buttons?
     Notes: Yes, the app is empty string "".
What can I do to make it stop prompting me the first popup?
I've tried painstakingly restore from backup again but same thing happened again. I have too much data in the backup that I can't set it up as a new phone. That's what backup is for, isn't it?
Thanks,
Sean

If you have not other files or backups then sorry you just will not have the information.

  • Why does an app that is no longer on app store keep crashing when I redownloaded it from my purchased list?

    I just updated my iphone to ios 7 yesterday and I had to clear up space for the update to work.  I deleted several apps, but one of the apps I deleted was no longer on the app store anymore but I didn't know that at the time.  (not flappy bird)  I tried re-installing it, but it crashes everytime I redownload it.  I tried resetting my phone, and downloading the app from my computer but nothing works.  Any suggestions on how I might be able to get back this app functioning normally?  All comments are greatly appreciated. Thank You!

  • In iOS8 I receive an "Unable to Download Apps" for apps that are no longer in App Store and cannot delete it from iPhone 6, how do I resolve?

    I keep receiving an "Unable to Download Apps" error pop-up on my iPhone 6 for two apps. Neither app is in the App Store anymore. I held down the icon/badge for the app but when I click on the "x" to try to delete the app it will not let me because "" cannot be found. I tried to delete it from iTunes but the only selections I have next to the app are "Install" and "Will Install" but no remove. How do I get these banners to stop appearing and my phone to stop trying to download the two apps?? It is sucking my battery down.

    Go into iTunes, create a backup without Apps included, and then use that backup on your phone. Fixed the issue for me, and it didn't even seem to remove the apps like I thought it would. If it does remove the apps you can simply redownload them without too much trouble.

  • HT3702 Does anyone know how to get a refund for an app that is no longer required.

    I have downloaded apps that I no longer require, does anyone know how I can get a refund. I would greatly appreciate any assistance.

    Apple considers all sales to be final. There are no refunds. Especially no refund just because you think that you don't need to use the app anymore.
    When you don't need your vacuum cleaner any more because you have a new one, does Walmart let you bring the old on back for a refund?

  • How do I delete or close Apps that I no longer want or need?

    I need to open up space on my ipad and need to delete apps that I no longer need. I don't know how to do this though! Please HELP!

    You press on any app and hold for about 3 seconds. Then the apps will start to shake. Click on the little 'x' on the apps you want to delete.
    To close apps, hold down the home button until a black bar rises. Again, hold an app for about 3 seconds and it'll start to shake again. This time, it'll be a '-' sign. Click on that to close the app.

  • How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

    Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
    One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice".  Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen.  Others for just the iPads for their larger screens.  So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
    And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment.  When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive.  Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
    Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.

  • I have a Ipad2, my computer that contains all of my apps, music etc crashed and dosent work. I bought a new laptop, how do I retrieve that iTunes account and or apps, movies etc.

    With your new computer, you'll download a fresh copy of iTunes and then authorize iTunes using your Apple ID and Password.  Read the following link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
    You can then connect your iPad to your new computer via USB cable and transfer your purchases (do not connect your iPad until you have authorized the computer.  The music you had in your old iTunes account will not be in your new account as music is stored in a file on your hard drive, which you said has crashed.

    Transfer the app into iTunes on your computer and then sync the app to the iPad. If you have never synced with iTunes before, it will be a little more complicated that that, but you can still do it if you follow the instructions in the user tip below.
    If you are already syncing with iTune, it will be very simple and easy to do.

  • HT1386 When I update my IPad to the IOS 5 system will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITunes store?

    I have an IPad 2.  I want to update it to an IOS 5.  Will I lose my apps that I purchased from the ITune store?

    What you should do anytime that you update the device is to transfer purchases from the iPad into iTunes - File>Transfer Purchases - and you should backup the iPad as well. When you update the update the device, if something goes wrong, you can restore from the backup.
    However, iTunes should ask if you want to backup before you update, but just in case create the backup yourself before you update. The backup contains your app data and settings  - so make sure you backup first. If something goes awry when you update, with regard to apps, you can download them again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with.
    If you have any other important files, you may want to transfer them to your computer as well, prior to the update.
    Transfer purchases.

    Tell me exactly how much you have in your store credit and I"ll let you know the best solution.
    Also, I'm not 100% sure, but when you switch back to S.A., Apple MAY track your IP and still give you probs if they figure you're trying to get around this problem without moving out of America. But we won't know for 100% until we try it.
    If your store change is less than the price of a single song, then you can ask the iTS support to just cash-out that balance. They'll probably send you a response to reverify this first though.

    http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
    Once you change back to S.A. please let us know if you can still see the purchases in the Cloud or not from your US I.P. address as I'm curious if they've fixed this exploit fully or not.

  • If I update to 7.1 will this delete apps that were pulled from the app store? (Flappy Bird)

    I'm wondering when the time comes to update to 7.1, will this delete apps that were pulled from the app store (in this instance, Flappy Bird)
    Thanks so much.

    You should always have a recent back up of your phone. If you have a copy of the app on your computer, you can always restore it to the device.
