Secure Delete Apps

Hey what happened to the secure delete apps like iErase and iShred that you used to be able to get to ensure your deleted files were really deleted? Apparently they are not available in the US store?

When I downloaded photos from a camera SD card using an adapter, I noticed two Albums were created in the Photo app.(Last Import & All Import). Like you stated, there is no option to delete excess photos without deleting all of them. So this is the lengthy steps I went through to delet the extra album (I hope someone comes up with a shorter process):
1) Connect iPad into your PC (Make sure you configured to Sync with iTunes)
2) Go to My Computer > right click and open Apple iPad > right click and open Internal Storage > right click and open DCIM. (This will show the photos from those to Albums only)
3) Right click on a empty space on the desktop
4) Click on New > Folder
5) Go back to the DCIM files and right click on each file(one at a time) then copy and paste each file over the New Folder.
6) Go back to the DCIM files and open each folder and right click and delete each photo.
You will notice that all the same photos are being deleted on the Photo app simultaneously.
7) Then drag the New Folder into you Pictures on the PC.
8)Then open iTunes on your PC and click on the Photo tab and click Sync on the bottom right to import those photos back to your iPad.
I hope my scenario can apply to you.

A 'cleaner' app with SECURE delete option?

Hi all,
basically, I work for the entertainment industry and my systems are sometime loaded with very 'for your eyes only' materials, such as scripts and videos for movies still on working, etc.
As the leaking of those material may cause me serious trouble, I'm especially concerned with the 'secure deleting' of sensible files, particularly to avoid any risk in case of any of my computer being stole.
So as for cleaning/mantainance I normally use our beloved OnyX, or CacheOutX (for simple tasks) yet both lack the option of 'secure deleting' (shredding, overwriting, call it as you like) what they clean.
I went and searched for any app capable of performing such a 'secure clean' of OSX, but failed.
This is too be for me, especially for OSX itself allow to use secure VM and has Secure Trash ans Disc Free Space ereasing built right in! So basically what I'm forced to do is 'Erease Free Space' out of my HDs EACH TIME I perform a system cleaning. This is, in a word, boring. Or seriously annoying if you like.
So, any clue to help me out?

SInce there are thousands of system files scattered all over the place, and various utilities may not keep track (unless you can extract them from a log file somewhere), securely erasing the free space after using something like Onyx seems like the thing to do. There may be existing maintenance scripts out there - perhaps a script run from one of the periodic utilities that uses diskutil.

Forgot the password to delete app store

i've made a password diffrent from my apple ID password to delete app store and other locked apps and now i forgott it. Can i reset the password?

Not without remembering it, that is what makes a password secure.
If you have Find My turned on in Settings > iCloud you can use your Apple ID and password to turn that off, and then you can restore to factory condition, that is erase all content and settings, to get rid of the other password. There is no way to change it without having it.

Can content in deleted apps be retrieved?

I was going to transfer some images to my iPad through iTunes. So I selected the photos I wanted and clicked "Apply" (at least I think that's the english translation). I went away from my computer so I don't know what happened, but after I got back the photos were on my iPad, but several apps had been deleted.
The apps are in iTunes under "Applications". I think it must have copied them into iTunes before deleting from the iPad because there are apps in iTunes that I didn't have last time I synced the iPad. I was wondering if the content (like high scores, game saves, documents, images) within the apps are stored there as well? Is there a way to get these back? I've been reading different posts, but I'm a bit confused. English is not my first language, and many people use difficult words or write long answers that just leave me more confused. I tried to find an iTunes usermanual, but just found usermanuals for iPad and iPod.
I've read that if you click "Restore" this will restore your iPad to a point in the past of your choosing. Other people claim it will make it factory fresh. And some people say you get a choice between the two. Some also say that if you click "Revert", it's like an "Undo" button. I don't really understand the difference between "Restore" and "Revert". And what the difference between "Apply" and "Sync" are. Also will "Revert" still work after I've unplugged the device and plugged it back in? Or do you have to click it right away in order to undo?
Some say that the reason apps get deleted is because you sync the device without checking the apps boxes. I don't know if my apps boxes were unchecked, but it seems strange that it would delete apps because of this, and also that there was no warning that popped up.
I've also seen in a post that content from iPad applications can be found in a folder on the computer, but I haven't found any such folder. I found a folder with the actual apps in it though. Are these apps complete with content?
I know if I want the apps back I can just download them again from the app store, but I'm interested in a way that will bring the apps back the way they were, not just redownload.
I read that if you sync again all will be lost, so I want to get it right and not make things worse.
This became a really long post, sorry. Hope people can understand my ramblings and that someone has a good answer.

If you installed a Security Update early this month, about the 2nd or so, and not one since then, run Software Update - if it offers another Security Update, accept and install that one. The original Feb 2012 update had some flaws with regard to MS software in particular; the follow-up update fixed those.

After I deleted App still in location services in Mountain Lion?

After I deleted Evernote a couple of days later I was going through my Security & Privacy settings and I noticed it was still their under Privacy>Location Services so I looked and I had deleted App with TrashMe... So why is Evernote not deleted from my Location Settings?

That doesn't happen automatically. If you're an advanced user, you can follow the instructions linked below to delete the entry.

Disable default "Secure delete"

Hi,
I encrypted my home directory with filevault and enabled "use secure deletion". Is there a way to reverse this setting? I can't find it in my System Preferences.
Kind regards,

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be back

I have deleted hundreds of pictures, I've deleted apps, deleted emails and texts, and I've turned off and deleted backups of apps on icloud and it is still telling me that there is not enough icloud storage available for my phone to be backed up. I am supposed to do this before I go to the Apple store today to get my phone fixed. Can someone please help me? I have done almost everything.

This article explains ways to reduce your iCloud storage: Managing your iCloud storage. In addition to what's mentioned in the article, if you have lots of photos and videos attached to your text messages, these are all included in your iCloud backup and deleting them can sometimes significantly reduce the size of your backup.
If worse comes to worse, back up your phone to your computer rather than iCloud. To do this, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases. This can be used to restore your data when you get your phone back. (In fact, it's faster because you don't have to download the data from iCloud.)

My iPhone 4s notified me that I had to manage my storage so I deleted apps that used a lot of space I deleted almost all my picture and it still keeps telling me I don't have enough storage is there any other way I can make room on my phone ?

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.

How do I delete apps from the cloud as well as my device (iPhone 4 and iPad 2)

I am using an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. I want to remove apps from the devices as well as the cloud list. (Not on this i***). Help!

To delete apps from a device press and hold any of the apps on the device's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, all you can do is hide them so that they don't show in the Purchased links for redownloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - with iOS 7, after hiding apps on my computer's iTunes I've been needing to log out of my account on my iPad and then log back for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
If you need to permanently delete data from iPhone, My recommendation is iPhone Data Eraser, which can erase all data including contacts, messages, call history, apps, system setting, photo, video, keyboard cache, safari bookmark. Indeed, iPhone Data Eraser worth trusting and it makes the work more effective. What you need is a windows computer. One single click and data deletion finish. In addition, the program also works well with iPad and iPod Touch.
