TS1702 Once purchased, can I delete apps (for space), but then later re-download later at no charge, because I already paid?
Once an app is purchased and downloaded, can it be deleted because of a space issue, but then re-downloaded at a later time at no extra charge? In other words, once you purchase an app, can you delete and re-load at any time on your iPad without having to pay again?
Yes.
One more thing to consider is that occasionally apps are removed from the App Store for whatever reason. You can connect your iPad to the computer you normally sync with and "Transfer Purchases" from your iPad to the computer. That way each app will be backed up on the computer should you want to retrieve it.

How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear
how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?
Hi-
This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS! -
I had to change my email for my apple acct on my iPhone e 4. When I go add an app or update an app the old apple email comes up. I can't delete an apple store app. So how do I refresh the apple store app?
Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
Joe -
Whenever I click the app for my built-in camera, shutter screen never opens to view anything. It works whenever I take a picture through a msg but not whenever i directly click the camera button. Help?
If the Reset Ian mentioned doesn't work...
Shut down and restart the Mail app...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete the Mail app from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
- Restart the Mail app -
Can you delete an iCloud account but then make a new account with the same password?
Me and my mum share the same iCloud account with her email address, but I can't make my own unless I delete my mum's account that I share with her. If I delete the account, will my mum be able to make a new account with the same password?
Thank you!Yes. You can use the same password for all your accounts (although it's less secure to do so). You just have to use a different Apple ID to set up a new account.

Delete Apps from MacBook but not from iPhone
How can I delete Apps from iTunes but not from iPhone 3GS when I Sync them? The moment I delete the Apps from iTunes and then sync iPhone, iPhone deletes them as well.
Please assist.If you intend to ever sync your phone with your Macbook then you can't delete the app from your Macbook, otherwise the apps will also delete from your iPhone (as you've discovered).

I'm on Vacation with no access to my Mac. But had tried Sync. My software update is iOS 6.0.1. I've tried another WiFi network. I read your comment of deleting Apps for stuck update. So removed all Apps! Can't even install Free Apps. Now using my Kindle

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever. -
How can I delete apps from the app store? There seems to be every app I have ever downloaded and deleted since I got my phone in 2007. When I go to app store and select update apps there's a menu at the top that says purchased and when I select it it shows every app I've ever had! I would like to delete the history please.
Many thanksYou cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases. -
How can we delete apps, etc from the Previously Purchased list so that they don't show there anymore?
You can't currently permanently delete purchases, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding purchases

I have an iPad2 and I can't delete some apps I was downloading but froze. I can get the apps to wiggle, but there is no X in the upper left corner for deletion. I have tried re-setting and didn't work. Help will be appreciated.
See if anything here helps.
If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
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.
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.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... 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.
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.
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.
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.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad. -

can i delete app which is publish and showing us waiting for review in itunesconnect ?
Hello Nicke,
Thank you for your response.
I have enabled the Analyctic and Debug log for the Management and Publishing server and let it run for 30min.
The debug log only shows 1 error when I used iisreset telling me the management server is unavailable (which it indeed was for a brief second). Otherwise it is completely empty.
The analyctic log show the following when I refresh my packages on the client (but don't see any errors in it).
Handle refresh request
Get entitled package list
Get user group list
Get user group list
Get entitled package list
Write package list to XML
Write package list to XML
Handle refresh request
Especially the write package list to XML looks interesting, but in the details I don't see anything special/wrong:
The analytic log for the management server only shows Get Publishing Metadata every 5 seconds (The time which the xml files should be refreshed). -
I just purchased a language translation app for $.99 Can someone tell me is this a weekly, monthly or annual bill? Will I be notified of a renewal option prior to renewal? How does one cancel the subscription if not satisified with it? Thanks for your help!
PA Dennis wrote:
I was just inquiring as to how long these paid for apps are good for?
If you do have any apps that are sold on subscription basis, you can manage that subscription by going to iTunes > Store > View My Account > Settings > Subscriptions > Manage.
I have never seen an app similar to what you have purchased which was not just "pay-once". I think Google Translate does the same thing for free even. -
How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?
How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application. Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb
This is ridiculous!
Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
This is bad for:
1. The user (me)
2. The app developer - lost download.
3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!
