Is there rules about the apps you download to your Droid?

so i was looking at alot of apps on youtube seeing what was available for droid phones and it got me curious about a couple of things that im hoping ya'll can tell me more about.
1) does it matter where you get ur apps? i know there is the droid app market but there seems to be other websites that say they are the app market or that they have apps for the droid. is the app market that goes with the phone the only you should be using for certified apps that you're supposed to put on your phone?
2) does a deffective app like lets a defective launch pro app currupts or does something bad on your phone, does that affect ur warranty on the phone or something?
3) do you always have to becareful about the apps you download or are they pretty safe and are easy to get rid of?
ok thanks for you help

You should always be cautious when downloading apps.  The biggest concern are free apps that are not affiliated with VZW, MOTO, or Droid.  Basically watch what the app requests access to when you click to download it.  If it's an online recipe book it shouldn't be asking to have control of phone dialer and system tools etc.  However if you're downloading a battery manager, sure it will need access to your system tools.  Just make sure it all adds up.
Apps are pretty easy to uninstall.  Just go to your settings/applications/manage apps.  Click on the desired app and then click uninstall.  Also some apps can cause problems with your phone, if you experience issues after installing an app, try uninstalling it and see if it clears up.

    With the iPad connected to the computer, while iTunes is running, click on the iPad name on the left side under devices. Click on the Movies tab and look for Movie Rentals. You want to "Move" the films to the iPad.

  • I was downloading itransmition on my iPad when done downloading there's a shadow of the app still downloading as if I am downloading again. Then I uninstall the app by clicking the 'x' but the shadow still there and I can't get rid of it.

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • There are no icons of the apps i downloaded. I mean, I used them for a while, then my iPod died, I charged it a little, then turned it on, and saw blanks instead of apps. They work pretty fine, but there are no icons, just white rectangles. What can I do?

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - If still problem restore the iPOd via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • HT4928 THe instructions given to hide apps do not fit with what is coming up on my screen.  IT says go to purchases and then click on the x next to the app you wish to hide.  There is no x next to the icons on my screen.  Please help.

    I am trying to hide apps on an iPad, but the instructions given to hide apps do not fit with what is coming up on my screen. 
    IT says go to purchases and then click on the x next to the app you wish to hide. 
    There is no x next to the icons on my screen.
    Can someone please tell me in easy steps what to do.
    Thanks

    Reread the instructions. You cannot hide purchases on the iPad itself if you are running iOS 6 or higher. You have to hide the purchases in iTunes on your computer - not on the iPad.

  • HT4481 I buy in apple store OS X Lion, but I cant instal, there is message-"The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store"-WHAT SHALL I DO ?.

    I buy in apple store OS X Lion, but I cant instal, there is message-"The item you've requested is not currently available in the U.S. store"-WHAT SHALL I DO ?.

    Similar experience here but finally succeeded! Here's the summary
    Decided to (finally) update MacBook from SL 10.6.8 to Lion (it can't run ML or Mavericks) so this week purchased from UK Apple store. Received redemption code from Apple via email after couple of days and successfully redeemed this in Apps Store.
    Under Purchases in Apps Store clicked on "download" and nothing happened! Clicking on the app name "OS X Lion" gave the message "The item you've requested is not currently available in the UK Store". Contacted support but got no useful help there.....
    Following day went back to Apps Store and tried again clicking Download - still nothing (apparently - see below) so started thinking upgrade unlikely and £14 wasted.
    A little later noticed new icon in Dock and investigating it said downloading Lion - checked Activity Monitor and indeed my internet connection was being hammered. At a little over 4Gb got an error message saying download could not complete (needless to say not happy) and download icon disappeared!!
    So with nothing to lose reclicked Download in Apps Store and again no obvious activity and this time no new download icon in Dock - decided to check Activity Monitor again (just in case) and again high level of download activity! Maybe, just maybe, I thought and after about 90 minutes the Lion install screen appeared!
    Have now backed up the Installer and successfully installed 10.7.4
    I can't offer any explanation why it finally worked - Apps Store still shows "Download" not "Installed" as I would expect and the item is "..still not available.."!

  • Some of the apps I downloaded have turned black and says waiting on the bottom

    Some of the apps I downloaded have turned black and says "waiting" on the bottom.  What is going on?

    The app downloads have stalled on you for some reason and they are in a waiting state and that is why you are seeing "waiting" under the icons. The apps are useless unless you can delete them and download them again, or complete the downloads.
    I have posted theses suggestions many times in the past, and some of these suggestions have worked for other users. Give them a try in the order in which they are typed.
    1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
    2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes. If you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
    6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id?

    I will give my laptop to someone else, how do I unlink my apple id? Is it just the app store unlink? Do I need to remove the apps I downloaded with my id? Will they get removed when I unlink my apple id?
    Are there any other procedures I need to take into account?
    Thanks

    You need to remove all software that you acquired from the Mac App Store, including newer versions of OS X. These are all registered to you and encoded with your Apple ID in the licensed copy. You cannot legally pass any of the software to the new owner, which is why Apple states to erase the Mac and return it to the version of OS X that shipped from the factory on the Mac. You must also remove any older Apple software that you installed by DVD or pass the DVD to the new owner with the Mac.

    iOS 7 devices need iTunes 11.1 or newer to sync.  Depending upon your computer and the OS it is running, you may not be able to upgrade to iTunes 11.1 based on the requirements for iTunes 11.1.  What computer and OS are you running your iTunes on?  From the iTunes download pages I see the requiorements are:
    Macintosh System Requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core processor
    OS X version 10.6.8 or later
    400MB of available disk space
    Broadband Internet connection to use the iTunes Store
    Windows System Requirements
    PC with a 1GHz Intel or AMD processor and 512MB of RAM
    Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, 32-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer
    400MB of available disk space

  • Cannot Install Item / Please restart the app and download your purchase again

    I haven’t had this error message myself but one of my colleagues has, any ideas?
    Cannot Install Item
    Please restart the app and download your purchase again
    Three of our team (including me) have now been able to download the entire app after first archiving and starting afresh but the forth guy (the Editor in Chief) is still struggling with only half available. He has deleted the Content Viewer app and downloaded it again without being able to download more than half the app (560 MB total).We are 10 days away from our deadline so at a critical stage.

    We just had a customer complain that they couldn't sign-in or upate.  We tried it on our devices and were able to sign-in successfully.  Then we tried archiving and re-downloading the folio they were trying to download.  It did the start-stop thing with the download numbers but eventually finished without me doing anything.  Then when it got to the install part of the process it only progressed to a tiny sliver and then didn't progress any further for at least 15 minutes.  I then canceled, re-downloaded again and the install process got to about 40% before hanging indefinitely.  I quit the Adobe Content Viewer app, restarted it and tapped on "resume".  It took a couple of minutes but it did finish the install.  When viewing the folio, about 40% of the way into the articles one of them was completely gray.  Essentially it wasn't downloaded/installed correctly.  I'm wondering if this might have something to do with the screen going to sleep so I changed the timeout from 10 minutes to 30 minutes.  The download and installation were successful, so I have archived and am re-downloading again just to hopefully repeat the success.  The folio is 306MB, so it's not huge but not small either.  Lots of videos and multi-state objects are in this folio but it has been downloaded and viewed successfully many times before.  No changes have been made to this folio for at least a couple of weeks.
    I'm very disappointed that we aren't past the point of these things still happening.  It makes it very difficult for us to pitch tablet apps to new customers when simple things like delivery to the end user is so unpredictable and frustrating for both our customers and us.  I hope Adobe realizes that lack of reliability is going to stop many users like our company from being able to recommend their system to potential digital publishing customers.  There are lots of companies/potential customers that want tablet apps, however why should we try to court their business if the platform isn't reliable?  We end up looking like incompetent fools because the system we told them to invest in isn't able to perform basic functions reliably.  If Adobe wants to make money from us and our customers we need the standard/basic features of Adobe's digital publishing system to work every hour of every day.  Rare exceptions and problems will always happen with any technology (even utilities like electricity and city water aren't bulletproof), however the problems users are experiencing haven't been rare.  We were an early adopter starting with the pre-release program in the hopes that we could offer customers a great solution and be part of the beginning of another great Adobe solution.  Up to this point we've tried to be very understanding of early growing pains with the technology and have apologized to our customers for the lack of a fully functional system many times and so far they have been patient and understanding.  The patience and understanding from both us and our customers is beginning to wear very thin.

  • ITunes 11 Apps Notificaion? Can't See the apps is Downloaded or NOT

    To whom it may concern
    Everyone, I am using windows xp with the latest of the itunes 11, i have a question about the apps section.
    before, when i am using the 10.5version. when you downloaded the apps once, when you go back to the same page, is show you downloaded.
    but now, when i use itunes 11, it didn't show i was download, can let you download or buy, is so not good for me, because, i don't remember which apps i bought before.
    is anyone like that? or just mine?

    Screenshots from my very old iPod Touch...
    Image 1, below. Looking on the Albums list, at album "Alchemy [Disc 2] < A >". Note the Shuffle (songs on this album) icon. Tap the Shuffle "button" to start the album in Shuffle mode.
    Image 2, below. On the Now Playing screen, but in normal play mode (shuffle is off). Tap the screen to toggle the overlay on or off. In this shot, the overlay is on and so it has the scrubber bar (time played/remaining) and the Shuffle icon on the right hand side (under -4:49) visible. The Shuffle icon (intertwined arrows) is in white, so Shuffle is currently off. (The two arrows pointing to each other (on the left, under 0:02) is the repeat icon.)
    Image 3. Tap the Shuffle icon to turn it blue, which means Shuffle is on.
    Image 4, below. looking in a Playlists, named "Dire Straits". Tap Shuffle to start the Playlist in Shuffle mode.
