IPhone app sizes getting big?

I have a 5s, and I use apps like tumblr and Instagram. These apps in particular have huge app sizes on my iPhone (between 200 mb to 400 mb) and it takes up my space quicker than downloading apps theirselves. The only solution I know of is to delete and re-install them, but that's nothing fun to do on a daily basis. Is there any other way I can keep these app sizes down or does the system automatically delete the files to make them smaller?

it seems that problem is with your computer,
and 'wrong signature of downloaded file' indicates problems
like virus infection, Bad Ram or Hard Disk, or bad internet connection.
so it's better to use another computer and other internet connection.

Iphone email app size

I see that my email app is 1.8gb while my google mail app is only 34mb. Why is the mail app size so big in comparison. Deleting emails seems to make no difference.

I've done that and I've also logged into gmail to delete emails and empty trash there as well.

How to update iPhone app from iTunes

The update to the Skype iPhone app is pretty big and was taking forever to download on my phone (5, iOS 7.1.2) so I downloaded it on iTunes instead. Phone is cable connected to the 'puter, and I've clicked "update" against the Skype app. It has switched from Update to "Will Update". My question is when? I've clicked Sync, I;ve clicked Apply, I've dragged the icon to the iPhone screen. Nothing happening. How do I get it to update?
Thanks!

I've never tried it the way you describe, but the following has always worked for me. Without the phone attached to the computer, open iTunes, click on Apps under Library in the pane on the left (if you have the Sidebar showing) or select Apps at the left of the top bar, and then click Updates in the top bar. Any apps that don't have the most recent copy already downloaded to your computer should appear. You can then Update All or select a single one to update. After completion, connect the phone and sync the apps to the phone.

My Verizon iPhone app error message....

Recently, when trying to access schedule or recorded programs on the My Verizon iPhone app, I get the following error:
Mandatory Field Not Supplied.
Does anyone have an insight on what's causing this and/or what can be done to fix it?
Thanks i advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In reply to my own post in case it may help someone else with the same issue in the future:
It turned out that the probem was not being able to connect to our DVR STB via the Internet. Thus the iOS app wouldn't work but neither could I connect to the DVR via a PC browser. That, in turn, was caused by a glitch that had the Verizon system thinking in error we have a DLink router when an Actiontec model is required for that service.
The system glitch also had on screen caller ID failing to work.
The good news is after trying all the self-help steps available through the IMG I called tech support. I got through to a live person in Dallas in a reasonable amount of time. He stayed with me for quite sometime and he was eventually able to correct the system glitch so it knew we have an Actiontec router and the problem was solved.
Pretty good tech support in my humble opinion.

IPhone app installs fail with Notification of iTunes pre-order from 2009 "Top 5..." by Matt Giraud

Whenever I try to install/update an iPhone app I get notified of a old 2009 pre-order which is now expired. If I tap Not Now then install aborts. If I tap OK then install starts and then fails with "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". If I then repeat the same install it completes fine. Can anyone help me remove this annoyance?

You most likely have zoom on. Double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off, if it is on, then: Settings>General>Accessibility...turn it off for good.

IPhone-App: video upload with imagePickerController - big problem

I have a big problem in developing a video upload function in my iPhone-App.
Here is, what I have done:
First, I read the video data, the user selects, and store it in "MovieData" (it is NSData). I checked it and the NSData-object really has the value data of the video. Then there is a post function, which makes the upload (it worked before I included the video upload).
Please look here:
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
if(info!=nil)
NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
if ( [mediaType isEqualToString:@"public.movie"]){
NSURL *videoURL = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];
NSLog(@"found video");
MovieData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:videoURL];
bMovieSet=true;
[self hidePicker:picker];
[self clearPhotoPickers];
return;
UIImage* resizedImage = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
if(resizedImage!=nil)
[self useImageAsPhoto:resizedImage];
[self hidePicker:picker];
[self clearPhotoPickers];
Then later I read this object and want to store it into a Dictionary. Please look here:
NSMutableDictionary* variables = [NSMutableDictionary dictionary];
if(MovieData!=nil)
[variables setObject:MovieData forKey:@"video"];
But here the app always crashes! I've tryed a lot, but I didn't get it work.
Please help me.
Thank you!

WD enclosures don't have a good rep with Macs anyway, great drives but terrible enclosures & chipsets.
Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, sort on CPU%, see if anything using too much CPU% when this happens, click on Memory tab, do you have many Pageouts?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

Trouble getting approval on iPhone app

We recently submitted our first iPhone app for Apple approval but it has been rejected for a couple of reasons.
The app is optimized for iPhone - built in DPS to iPhone screen size. But as DPS requires iPhone app viewers to also be compatible with the iPad, that's throwing up some issues.
Firstly, when viewed on the iPad, no folio appears for download. That is the first reason for rejection.
The second reason for rejection is the meta data description. We labelled the app as being for iPhone, but as the viewer can be downloaded to the iPad, Apple don't want us to label it exclusively for iPhone.
Is there a simple solution to this? Is there a way of using the x2 feature on the iPad so that the iPhone version can be viewed on there, or is there an even simpler solution that will help to get approval on this?
Many thanks

Currently an iPhone only app cannot be built with DPS. Therefore, if you are targeting an iphone, you need to also target iPad too. Meaning you need to publish two version of the same folio/issue as rendition, one for the iPad and another for the iphone.
As said, iPhone only app is currently not possible with DPS, your app description(meta data) should talk about the ipad and iphone comaptibility in genral and not just iPhone.
No, 2x is not possible

I made my own apple id because my family was getting my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dads find my iphone app on his icloud but can't figure out how, without having to log in to his apple id on my phone. how do i add my device?

I made my own Apple ID because when I was logged into my dad's my family was receiving my texts from other people. I want to add my device to my dad's "find my iphone" app but without signing into his Apple ID on my phone because that was causing them to get my texts. I was told by Apple I could add my device to his by signing into icloud.com but there is no option that I can find to add my device. And I don't want to log back in to his.. Any ideas???

Also when I apply the safety copy it only imports the app the phones have had in common, so none of the apps that only the iPhone 4 had doesn't come in, only the ones I and the iPhone 4 has had in common. So you say the only way I can use the Apple ID to download on the old iPhone 4 is if I delete the apps that are in the phone and then download them again? How will that change the ID to download/update from. Won't it still have mine to update/download from?

The computer that I had my iphone apps synced to has died and I don't know how to get access to my apps on the new computer. I'm using a Windows pc. I understand that I can only have my apps synced to one computer at a time, but the former pc is dead.

My HP Touchsmart died the other day. My husband works on computers as a hobby and was able to get me up and running on a Dell laptop in no time. I have an iPhone 4s and had all my apps on itunes on my HP. I understand that you can only have your iPhone apps synced to one computer at a time, but what do you do when the computer containing all your info is in unusable condition? I have tried deauthorizing all the computers associated with my account, that did not work. I had this problem once before and finally ( after much blood sweat and tears ) was able to deauthorize the old computer, but it was in working order. Two of the computers that are listed under the iTunes Wi-Fi Sync setting are no longer in use, the HP had my apps synced to it and the other had everything else except my photos, which are on a third computer that is still in use. Please forgive for information overload but am trying to give all the info that I think could be relevant. Your help would be appreciated so much!
Sincerely,
PiPI

You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

How do I get iMessage to activate after having used find my iPhone app?

My husband not realizing he was going to wipe my phone decided to play around with the find my iPhone app. Of course it reset and I lost everything. I restored from a backup and cannot get iMessage to activate. I just keep getting a message awaiting activation. I've tried shutting down the phone, turning iMessage on and off, resetting network settings, logging in and out of apple ID. I let it sit for about 10 hours and that didn't work either. Is there something else I need to try? Anything specific to the find my iPhone app? I really don't want to restore without backup. I've already had issues with the 5 and lost my info on 3 separate occasions. Also can't get iCloud backup to work since I've had the 5. Any help greatly appreciated!!

App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row.

App Store says update available for iPhone app. Try to install and get the message "the item you are trying to buy is no longer available" for three apps in a row. Even when I go to the specific app and press Update, the update begins to install then aborts with this error message.iPhone 3GS running iOS 5.1.1. Also very long delay typing each keystroke in this message.

That error message is usually indicative of a problem with the App Store. If you look through the forums, you'll see that a number of people are experiencing the problem. Try again tomorrow.

TS4006 is it possible to get the find my iphone app on my ipod touch?

My iphone just got stolen and i cant access the find my iphone app because i only have the ipod touch, what do i do?

I do not believe there's an app for that on PC. I do recommend getting the iCloud dashboard for PC and to try it there. I would myself if my PC was working.
PC ***** get a Mac.
You can always go to iCloud.com to find your phone.
