IPhone keeps automatically reinstalling deleted apps.

Hi
If I delete applications from my iPhone (by holding my finger down on the icon till it jiggles and then tapping the red X) then when I plug the phone into my PC, the PC is automatically reinstalling them.
The only way I can find to stop this happening is to go into the Applications section of the itunes library on my PC and delete it from there.
Does anyone know a fix for this? It's very annoying.
Thanks
Dan

Yep, this keeps happening with me too, but it just started recently. Prior I had no issues with syncing on 2 computers.
I use my Mac mini as a home media center, so my songs are stored on that iTunes which I normally sync to the iPhone (getting new tunes, changing playlists, etc.). My MacBook Pro is my work computer and contains most of my calendars, contacts, etc. The iTunes here is used to add applications to my iPhone as well as update Notes and iPhoto.
I recently upgraded my Mac mini's external drive with a larger capacity for more media storage. Afterwards, I've had all sorts of issues with missing songs, duplicates and ghost links in iTunes. I thought I had it resolved until now this issue with the iPhone. The worst part is that I only want the mini iTunes to sync the songs but it says it wants to erase all my apps to do so. If I do that and go back to my work iTunes, it asks to add all those apps that were deleted PLUS old ones I had removed previously. I have to then rearrange my apps & screens as well as delete again these old apps I don't want anymore (but don't delete because I paid for them!!). Next time I sync with the mini iTunes, the pattern starts all over!!
It's maddening! I'm starting to think that I need to erase the entire directory for both iTunes and reinstall fresh media. Know this is long, but so has the attempts to fix this issue!!

I have use Apple TV with the remote app on my iPad 4 and my iPhone 5 I reinstalled the app on my iPad but the gestures do not work

I have been able to use my remote app from my iPad4 and my iPhone 5 until recently. I can connect and the tap to select works fine. But the app stopped responding to hand gesutres to navigate the ATV screen. All my software is updated to the latest versions. I deleted the app from my iPda and reloaded it from the app store. I turned off all my devices, including my router before reinstalling the app. I did not unplug the ATV. The app will activate the ATV and tapping menu brings me to the main screen but I cannot navigate the screen at all.

It reboots it but unplugging can also rectify communication issues like this. A restore would be the next step.

Cant reinstall deleted apps

I have a question regarding not being able to reinstall apps, which I previously had installed on my iphone which i deleted and wishd to reinstall.
I have downloaded a number of apps from the app store onto my Iphone, since then I have deleted one of these apps, and now wish to reinstall it, when i go back to the apps store on my iphone to reinstall, it says the application is already installed on my iphone and will not let me reinstall the app (the app is: pool by adikus)
(i am aware at this point that when you re-enter the app in the apps store, it should givr you the option 're-install' whereas on my iphone it say 'installed' despite not being installed and not allowing me to reinstall.
I have restored my iphone to its original factory settings, which deleted all the apps, i then tried to reinstall the app, which it allowed me to do, but as soon as i tried to open the app, the iphone stalled, went back to the 'slide to unlock' screen, and on my home screen the app had disappeared.
I then re-entered the apps store to download it again, at which point again it told me the app is already installed and would not allow me to reinstall it.
can you help, i really want to get these apps back

Hi,
If you haven't already, download and install the latest versions of iTunes(currently 8.1.1) and iPhone software(currently 2.2.1).
You can check by tapping Settings> General> About.
You can find this information from the About iTunes menu.
You can download the latest version of iTunes here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 provides more information about updating and restoring the iPhone.

Keeping track of deleted app updates

Hi,
Sometimes I keep an app just to know when there will be an update (I don't use it because i'm waiting for some feature to be developped).
Do you know of any app where I can keep tracked of purchased apps updates without keeping them on my device?
Thanks

In the Purchased list. Go to the App Store. Tap Updates. Tap Purchased at the top of the screen. Tap Not on This iPad.

My iphone 4 has started deleting apps and app store won't let me redownload them!

A week or so ago, my iphone deleted a photo editing app, and as I went to redownload it, it gave me the option to open the app (which was not on my phone), but not to reinstall it. it did the same thing with a music app the next day. now it's at the point that I cannot download any app; deleted or new. does anyone know how to fix this?

If the open button actually opens the app, but you do not see that app on any of the home screens, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
If it does not open the App or if you still cannot find the app, go to Settings > General > Usage. Locate the App on the list and delete the app. Then you can re-download it from the App Store.

How to reinstall deleted apps

I deleted some apps off my ipod touch to make room. They are still in my "apps" section of itunes. They correctly do not install automatically when I sync. If I change my mind and decide I want them back on my ipod touch, how do I reinstall them?
THANKS

Hi,
Your iTunes account knows which Apps you have purchased so you can erase them from iTunes and redownload/reinstall them, no charge.
Alternatively, go to the app Store on your Touch and redownload/install them, again no charge.

Reinstalling deleted apps

hi everyone!
i got a problem, my "simcity" never came in to the game and just kept on showing the "loading" screen forever, so i deleted it
i knew nothing would happen because i have bought the file once and have it my computer, but i cant figure out how to get it back on my phone
could anyone help me?
thanks

Make sure it's set to sync in the Applications tab in iTunes (with the iPhone connected). If it still does not sync, delete and redownload the app in iTunes on your computer, then try syncing it again. There no charge to redownload an app:

Iphone keeps automatically playing paused songs at end of calls.

I have an iphone 4, iOS 6.
I often use it to listen to podcasts in the podcast app. I will pause these, then return to them later.
Whenever I speak on the phone (this has happened both receiving and making calls), when I hang up it automatically unpauses the podcast and starts playing it. This occurs in situations where I hadn't been previously listening to the podcast so it's super annoying to hear a loud voice pop out of my iphone speakers for no reason, and a hassle to get over to the podcasts app to make it stop.
I don't know whether this is an issue with the podcasts app or with my phone (maybe the new iOS?) Has anyone else had this problem?

I have same problem

How do I sink my email so that when I read and delete something on my iPhone it automatically is deleted on my iPad and iMac?

How do I sink my email so that when I read and delete something on my iPhone it is deleted on my other devices (iMac & iPad)? My email is through roadrunner. And how do I set my email to automatically delete messages after a set time frame?

For that to happen you need to have an IMAP email account. Contact Sroadrunner to see if they provide such.

Were it shows how much storage I have available it still says 9.9 even after all that I have done so I don't know if I need to change my storage plan or what but anything will help I guess

Check for 'others' in iTunes against your iPhone.
Restore from a previous backup to reclaim some of it.
Still want more, Restore in iTunes, setup as New.

ITunes deleted apps - still a warning message keeps appearing: 'iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone..."

Hi
I'm trying to delete apps in iTunes Library and from the iPhone.
1. Goto Library > Apps then I deleted the apps I dont use.
2. Goto the iPhone, select Apps then deleted apps from there that I'm no longer using.
3. Click Sync. Then I get the following warning:
iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone “4S 16GB iPhone” that are not present in your iTunes library. Do you want to transfer these items from this iPhone back to your iTunes library? If you do not transfer these purchased items to your iTunes library, they will be removed from the iPhone.
4. I clicked 'Dont Transfer'. This is fine as I dont want the apps on the iPhone anymore.
5. I ejected the iPhone.
6. Later, I reconnect the iPhone again to iTunes. The warning appears again:
iTunes has found purchased items on the iPhone “4S 16GB iPhone” that are not present in your iTunes library. Do you want to transfer these items from this iPhone back to your iTunes library? If you do not transfer these purchased items to your iTunes library, they will be removed from the iPhone.
7. Clicked 'Dont Transfer'.
8. Then I tried 'Transfer'. This transfered "something" .. I dont know what transferred as I had deleted a few apps.
Why does this warning keep appearing everytime I reconnect? I'm not sure what it means or what it's meant to do.
Please can you advise me? I dont know what I'm doing wrong.

Don't transfer, right click the device in iTunes and select Back Up.
Though, the iTunes interface is designed to be computer - phone and not the other way around, you may need to use something else to preserve your data.
