Lot of unwanted apps at each synchonization (Asphalt, Block Breaker Deluxe 2, etc...)

Hello all
I've got a BB Curve 9300G.
Each time I synchronize it with BB desktop Sw, it adds me several apps I do not want:
Block Breaker Deluxe 2, Google Mobile App, AIM, Asphalt, Feeds Configs, etc...
Is it linked with BB AppWorld addition ?
Blackberry make such ads: "We want tools, not toys". So why force me to have those unwated and useless apps ?
How could I definitely get ridd of this ?
I want to optimize my space storage on my device.
Each time, I have to go in '"Annuaire de service" (sorry, I don't knwo exact US translation). and delete the unwanted apps & configs.
Thanks all
Fab

Directory of Service? What information are you synching with DM and your device?
I am not sure of some of the apps that you listed, but Social Feeds, Brick breaker usually come preinstalled with any OS. You should be able to delete the apps from your device by going though the Desktop Manager.
You can also log into App World (From your device) and go to My World, and manually delete the apps that you do not want installed.
Any app or program that doesn't appear in App World, usually means they were pushed by the carrier, or they have come pre-installed on the OS.

Old Unwanted Apps reinstall themselves

I've had this issue for a few weeks.
On the iPhone - I go to the app store icon and it may tell me that an installed app has an upgrade. When I click to upgrade the app all of a sudden it seems like every single app I ever downloaded starts installing and installed apps re-install. I end up with a lot of pages of unwanted apps. I then have to go to each app individually to re-uninstall it. I fear upgrading any app at all.
Other notes... This happens without connecting to itunes on the computer. My iPhone is only sync to one computer. I have unchecked any unsyncing automatically options.
After this happened again... I connected the iphone to my computer, and deleting things from there and uncheck any auto syncing options. I also unchecked the "check for downloads" thing in itunes.
After much frustration - I took the nuclear option and "Erase all Content and Settings". Re-connected to itunes, etc, etc. My iphone was back to almost where it was.
Now just yesterday, I had an app that needed an upgrade. Should I press the upgrade button or not? Yes or no? OK, I pressed it. And, darnit, it happened again. All these old apps that were uninstalled on my iPhone and from iTunes started re-installing themselves.
Any advice?
Thanks in Advance,
Ray

Didn't work. I just signed in on the iPhone (not signed in on iTunes). One app needed updating. I did NOT click "update all", but instead updated it using the app screen itself and followed the link.
I put my password in and it began to download... moments later all those old apps even for years ago started to download. But let me say... they are not really downloading.. they are all paused. But you can't delete them until they completely download. And one more thing... Even some of my current (wanted) apps are reinstalling themselves.
Very frustrating.

Have Tiger, but lots of old apps... should I pull the trigger?

Yes, I know this is a popular question, but every situation is different and I haven't seen a definitive answer after browsing the forums for a while.
I have the following hardware:
800MHz 17" flat-panel iMac
800MHz iBook
...and the following apps, none of which I can afford to upgrade:
Final Cut Pro 4
Premiere 6.5
Illustrator 10
Photoshop 7
DVD Studio Pro 1.5
Lightwave 7
Cubase SX
Logic Express 7
Flash MX
Office X
ProTools FREE (v5 - OS9 only)
...and probably a couple others I've forgotten.
I was given the retail box of 10.4, and the temptation is SO strong to install it. My two Macs were bought at times when I had an unusual amount of cash, so in the future, I think my limited budget means that the only new Macs I'll have will be Intel machines of er, let's just say an un-conventional nature. I also can't afford to upgrade the apps, although I do have Soundtrack Pro and DVD Studio Pro 3, although I still plan to use 1.5 most of the time. I may also be able to use Photoshop CS2, but sticking with 7 would be fine.
My biggest problem is with FCP4. I've heard that QT 7 really causes problems, not the least of which is no QT Export to MPEG-2. I of course have Compressor, but get the constant "unable to connect to background process" error, so I rely on QT Export to create .m2v files for DVDs. I guess it's possible that Compressor will magically work in Tiger, but I fear letting go of QT Export. I also dread paying for a new MPEG-2 Playback Component and/or QT Pro license.
I wish I could cross-post this into the FCP and DVDSPro forums, but hopefully enough people here will be able to tell me whether I'm better off not upgrading unless I can get new versions of the apps.
My application for the iMac is audio/video production, and even though it's done well up to now on the stock 256MB, I'll be upgrading the ram soon to the max of 768MB (that's the max without opening up the case, which I'm hesitant to do). I also would like to use the iBook for some field work, and given its 30GB hard drive, I don't see partitioning as an option. On the up side, the iBook does have the absolute maximum of 1.125GB of RAM.
I would of course use an external drive for content on both machines, but at least with the iMac there's an 80GB hard drive that can be partitioned and still have ample room. I currently have most of it assigned to Jaguar, and a 10GB partition for Panther. If I went that route again, the Panther partition would have to be larger than 10GB because most of the apps would be installed under Panther. I guess another issue is whether Tiger and Panther partitions would play nice. Right now I can launch applications that reside in the Panther partition even if I booted into Jaguar and vice-versa, but I wonder if that would confuse Tiger.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any advice.

I apologize for the tone of my previous post, but it's so frustrating to post a question and have so many people "miss the barn" in their answers. Funnily enough, you actually have a very similar collection of machines to me... I have the 17" FP iMac, the iBook G4, and also a B&W G3 in the bedroom that my fiancee and I use for web surfing. I tried posting in the FCP and DVDSPro forums since those are the most important apps to run, but not much response.
What I ended up doing was creating two equal partitions on the iMac (~37GB each), one for Jaguar and one for Tiger. I actually like working in Jaguar for daily computing tasks, so I'll be installing my older apps there. My recording interface won't work under Jaguar, so my audio apps and all newer software (Soundtrack Pro, Adobe CS2, etc.) will be installed on the Tiger partition. I have no love for Panther, so I've stopped using it completely.
I'm sure switching between the partitions will be somewhat of a pain, but the option-key startup menu should make it easier. As I mentioned earlier, when I got Panther I only made a partition for it rather than upgrading, even though my apps would still run. I just didn't like the metallic look. Apple had started adding brushed aluminum in their hardware, but the Aqua interface seemed to go better with the older "iLamp". It's funny though, I really like the look of Tiger on it, maybe in part because they went back to a blue Apple Menu logo. It also seems quite snappy, although the first few boots on my iBook were painfully slow.
I haven't bothered to upgrade the OS on the B&W... can you really get it up to Tiger? It does have built-in Firewire, but I thought the minimum clock speed was something like 700MHz. It doesn't have tons of RAM either, so I'm probably better off not trying to upgrade. It seems to have a Rev. A motherboard, so it crashes once in a while, not very often though. Also, the Firewire is either disabled or fried, because I've tried an iBot webcam and it couldn't even see it. I'd hazard a guess that the reason the B&W might seem snappier is because the OS knows it's on an older machine and turns off a lot of CPU-draining eye candy that you may not notice (font smoothing, shadow effects, etc.) so it looks about the same but runs faster. Whenever I'd run OS 9 on my iMac it seemed like a screaming little machine compared to the previous Macs I had, but not so much with OS X.
Well, thanks for trying. I kind of figured this out myself, but I would have thought that someone here would have had the same experience as myself and could offer some advice. Seems most of the posts here are about upgrading to Leopard, so I guess I'm a bit behind the curve. For now, it's kind of comforting that I can't (officially) go beyond 10.4.11, since it makes the decision for me. Of course once an app comes along that only runs under Leopard, that sick feeling of being obsolete will probably come back.

How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Deleting / Hiding Unwanted Apps in iOS6

I recently updated to iOS6.
Now, when I goto the App Store, under the Purchased tab I now see EVERY app that I ever downloaded. A lot of these apps were trial and/or free apps. Some of these apps are apps that I purchased and did not like. All of these apps are apps that I will NEVER use.
On my desktop Mac, I have the option of hiding unwanted apps. On both my iPad and iPhone, I can not now that I have updated to iOS6. This is a VERY irritaitng issue as I now have to wade thru 100s of apps just to get to the ones that I am actually looking for. This is compounded due to the much smaller screen than my desktop Mac.
I guess that I dont understand how Apple with their usually very clean interface would want to make something horrifically cluttered.
How do I go about either permanently deleting unwanted apps or at least hiding them?

I guess I don't understand why Apple would remove this feature and make the custombilty of this interface worse. Apple really needs to correct this issue.

I'm beginning to believe you cannot delete unwanted app updates. Is that a correct assumption?

Am I correct in assuming you cannot delete unwanted app updates?

They should have a "More" link on each. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Ignore update from the context menu. This is all you can do.
If you erase the software from all disks, then you should not be bothered about them at all.

HT2480 two devices on my itunes account, want different apps for each

I have two devices on my itunes account, an ipad I use for business and an iphone I use mostly for personal. I want to keep only business apps on my ipad and most/all apps on my phone, but every time I try to sync, itunes tries to reinstall all of my apps regardless of device.
Does anyone have a solution for how I can have two devices with different selections of the apps I have paid for without downloading all of the apps to each device? I tried just not syncing the ipad but then it had technical problems and the genius bar needed to delete a bunch of notes from the device, so that is sub-optimal.

You need to set both devices up in itunes to sync manually: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296

Hi I newly started using Iphone 6, I am not getting all the applications list under Use Cellular date for to restrict my unwanted apps on cellular data
Please help me out

Hi Rajesh778484,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that some of your applications are not appearing under Settings > Cellular on your iPhone so that you can restrict or allow use of cellular data. If you have some installed applications on your iPhone that are not showing here, the first troubleshooting step I would suggest would be to reset your iPhone. Please refer to the attached article for information on how to perform a reset.
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

.... And you can put them on as many iDevices as you own. There is no limit as long as you use the same Apple ID and iTunes account for all of the devices.

How can I get a refund for an unwanted app that I just purchased?

How can I get a refund for an unwanted app that I just purchased?

Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff for a refund. Consider whether or not you want to do this now carefully first; if they grant one, you'll need a very good reason to get another from them.

Why do i need to buy the same app for each device over and over again??

why do i need to buy the same app for each device over and over again??
and why cant i just pay for the app ones for all devices as long at it is with the same account??
i hate that i have to oay for the same game or app three time one for ipad ones for iphone and ones for mac please do something about that apple..!!!

First, you posted in the Mac App Store forum which are apps for the Mac OS X, not iOS devices.
You do not need to re purchase your apps. Connect your iOS devices to your computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Apps then click Sync

Delete or hide old unwanted apps in iTunes Version 12.1.1.4

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but over several years and several itouch, iphones and now an ipad I tried several free apps that I latter decided I didn't like or didn't want to pay the maintenance fee so I deleted the apps from the device but with then new iTunes I can't even figure out how to hide them.
I'm finding some updates to iTunes nice but others a huge pain in the behind can some one help me hide unwanted apps from the list in iTunes 12.1.1.4. To be honest I would prefer to delete them totally but as near as I can tell you can't. Can someone please help me hide them, do I don't hit the little cloud icon on an app in the app store, and re-install the app I don't want.

You are welcome. Can you select iTunes in the Music Folder and take a screen shot of it? Use the Camera icon to post the screen shot in a reply.

This is what I see.

Now that i have updated to ios 6 on my ipad 2 a lot of my apps included the app store is not working properly! What could this be???

A lot of my apps are not running. I tried downloading an app from the app store and it give me a message saying "Cannont connect to iTunes store" and a few of the games and apps i downloaded wont open and/or load... This didnt start until i updated to ios6 how can i reverse this or what can i do to fix this error!!!?????

We have read that any apps that use the google map app (removed by ios6) will not work. We have lost a great camping app for this reason, and have heard that some weather apps are not working either. The company line we've been given is it's up to the app developer to rewrite their apps. ***** doesn't it.

HT1222 I cannot delete my unwanted apps. How can i do this ? I've tried hold the icon for long until it wobbles but there's no x sign. Please help.

I want to delete my unwanted apps. Help

Be sure there are no Restriction. Go to Settings//General/ restrictions
if there are no restrictions on Apps then got to Settings/General/Usage and under Storage select Manage storage scroll down and find the App in question, seleft the app then hit Delete.

How to Delete unwanted Apps for ever?

Sometimes we download 'apps', which may turn out just duds or NOT as good and functional as we expect them to be. Then we decide to delete and though they are deleted from iPad ( 4th Gen) or iPhone, the same remain in the iTunes and show up at the time of synching under App section. The "Remove " option works only for deleting an app available on the device but not from iTunes ( computer) apps section. How can we Delete unwanted Apps for ever?
Sometimes I wonder why Steve infused so mauch control into such mundane issues as deleting undesirable stuff?It irritates to the extent sometimes I feel, whatever is said Windows based OS is much more user friendly and truly functional...

Have you tried Control-Clicking on the offending app?
Followed by a click on Delete?

Lot of unwanted apps at each synchonization (Asphalt, Block Breaker Deluxe 2, etc...)
