The app that won't go away-

Christian SpeedDate. That's the app that I installed at one time. I have since decided to take it off my iPhone, but iTunes wants to keep updating it anyway. Fine, doesn't matter to me, I don't plan on reinstalling it to my iPhone anytime soon, but maybe it'll be up to day when/if I decide to.
Only one problem: The app doesn't update. It gives the status "stopped (err = 8012)" in the Downloads section and I get a popup error message regarding it anytime I do something in iTunes:
+*There was a problem downloading the artwork for "Christian SpeedDate - Date Local Singles!"*. Please try again by choosing "Check for Available Downloads" from the Store menu.+
This is exceedingly annoying and I have no idea how to stop it. I don't want the app anymore, I don't want it updated anymore, and the developer can't even get their act together enough to fix the artwork in the last several months. Please help me get rid of this annoyance.

So, the app is no longer in your itunes library & no longer available in the app store, correct? If that's the case, it looks like itunes is stuck in a loop trying to download an available update that doesn't exist. Contact itunes support, explain the situation & ask them to clear your account of all available downloads. As a user, you can't do that, but they can. Hopefully, this will fix the problem:

When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it. I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work. How do I get rid of it?

I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete. I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either. How do I get this draft to disappear?

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.
Or Quit the mail app.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

An App That Won't Go Away?

This is a continuing problem from the "App won't stop downloading/installing" thread.
I used yellowpages app till it got stuck installing and nothing would stop it. I finally dumped the app but guess what? When I open market it is still there trying to install?! I thought I could re-install and delete again but, no luck there since its already trying to install. Jeezy creezy! Somebody make this thing go away!
And, if the only option is a reset, forget it.

OK this is what worked after the yellow pages app stuck on installing, was deleted and, continued trying to install and could not be stopped. I went to seetings>applications>manage apps>market>clear cache. Nothing else worked espescially this-

The file that won't go away

newsfile.doc?
I was surfing the net the other day looking for oictures of a giant star when i clicked on an image and the site that hosted it downloaded a file to my mac. whenever i try to empty the trash to get rid of it a warning pops up. so i click stop and go back to the trash to empty it again and the same popup comes up again saying that is is running and cannot be removed.!!! Any solutions guys?

Rebooting your Mac should stop the file 'being in use' and therefore deleteable.
You can also try a Secure Delete from the Finder menu.

Dark smudges on the screen that won't go away?

I was wondering if anyone had any solutions for getting rid of dark smudges on the screen that seem to be internal in nature. I have an early 2008 black Macbook. The spots are kind of annoying so I was looking for a solution. Is this something fixable?

HT5312 Old apple ID on the Apps Store won't go away !, I have a new ID and password, old ID requests password that is forgotten together with the info to retrieve it! Help?

I was not familiar with the system and the first ID and password with the information required to retrieve forgotten ! Old ID pops up when trying to do Updates for Certain programs and it will not go away I do not remember how to access that particular ID and can't. Get rid of it or perform updates for Cretan things...! Help anyone?

iTunes and Mac App Store content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one ID to another and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. The only way that you can redownload content, update content and authorize the content's use on Macs, PCs and iOS devices is with the Apple ID used to buy it.
You can throw away free content and buy it again with your new Apple ID if the content is still available. But to keep using free content no longer available in the iTunes and Mac App Stores, as well as, the paid content, you will need to rehabilitate the Apple ID that was used to buy it.
Use one of these methods to contact the Account Security Team for help resurrecting the old Apple ID.

I can't empty the trash I have three different versions of Quicken Essentials that should have been deleted and also some iskysoft apps [two ]. I tries to delete them but I always get a -8003 error.

What do I do if my ipod classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen that won't go away?

I am not sure when this issue started, but my iPod Classic has lines at the top righthand corner of the screen. They show up on every screen now. The iPod is working, but I don't know if this is a sign of bad things to come. I have dropped the iPod a few times, but not regularly. I also wasn't sure if this means that it is time to update my iTunes software. I am going to try updating the software tonight to see if that fixes the problem. I have tried resetting the iPod, but it doesn't make the lines go away. I am just curious to see if anyone else has had this issue. I have attached pictures because it is probably hard to diagnose my issue without seeing it.

It is not a software issue, since you have reset it and update the firmware.
LCD screen do konk out due to high temperature, or when the pixels are static and burn the screen, like the 2 lines, that's the reason we have screen savers or the screen power down, when not in used. Some users do have screen ON all the time when connecting to iPod Docking stations.
Other defects are due to poor SMT, when the display chip is mounted on the iPod motherboard., normally a band of vertical or horizontal white lines across the screen, these appear within 1 year, and Apple do replace the whole iPod.
You can get LCD screen replaced at Apple, if it is still under warranty or get a 3rd party vendor near your area if you want it done cheaper.
Have a nice day.

My computer has streaks on the screen that won't come off

I just got the new Macbook Pro with Retina Display about a month ago and now on the screen there are streaks all over the screen that won't go away.

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a game that won't go away. I can't get it off the screen. Suggestions?

When I try to go to the app store, I have a popup for a free game that won't go away. I can't get into the app store.

This happened to me twice lately. I finally got around it by double tapping the home key to go back to the homepage finding the app store that was running and flicked it up to get rid of it.
When I went back to the App Store the Popup was gone.

The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password. Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

Can i delete the apps that comes with the 5s phone, like itunes, weather and others that i won't be using?

You can't delete some of the native apps but you can put them away in a folder OR some of them you can make invisible by restricting them (iTunes for example).
