Unable to remove Gray Apps in iPhone iOS 7.

Hi guys.
This problem came up in September last year, when I upgraded my iOS to 7.
You see, i had some old apps (for iOS before 7), stored in my iCloud/ iTunes.
When I upgraded to the newest iOS about a year ago, these old apps automatically got downloaded onto my iPhone 5.
They appeared to be gray in color, translucent. I tried to remove them on the device itself, had them removed on my iTunes while wired sync, all to no avail.
Anyone facing the same issues and how were they removed?
Much thanks in advance.
Sean.

Hi,
Try the following:
Step 1: Go to Settings, iTunes and App stores
Step 2: Touch your Apple ID, and say view Apple ID
Step 3: Enter your login credentials
Step 4: touch Country/Region, Change country to the country your registered location, in your case it's India
            The country pointing to maybe India itself, but touch change country anyway. Once again, select same country, in your case, India and accept all the legal terms.
Step 5: Since, Apple has no official Indian iTunes Store, choose None as option for credit card payment information and skip.
Step 6: Your account is SetUp and you can download Facebook and other supported Apps
Caveats: This solution worked on my iPad for the same problem. Not sure about iPhone.
Hope this helps!
PS: This is my first community post! :-)

  • Unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7

    I tried all the solution which been offered from apple support but i still unable to transfer purchased apps from iphone to window 7. Please show me what to do =(

    Are you trying to transfer apps to Windows 7 to USE them on Windows 7, or to back up your iPhone? iPhone apps will not run on Windows (OR Mac OS X); they only run on the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad.
    To back up your iPhone, connect the phone to your computer using the cable that came with the phone and a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub. Do not sync.
    Check the account you have on your iPhone by going to Settings/Store. Make sure you are logged in to this same account on your computer, and that the computer is Authorized to this account (check the Store menu).
    Go to the File Menu in iTunes and choose "Transfer Purchases".
    If you have a problem with any of these steps please let us know exactly what the problem is.

    Unable to download any apps for iPhone 5s

    Based on the numerous posts regarding iTunes and the App Store, there appears to be an issue at Apple's end. Although Apple has not provided any indication on the cloud status page.
    Do not change your settings.

  • Removal of apps from iphone before syncing

    While I've trolled through various threads I must confess to being completely confused as to why itunes wants to delete all my apps or music from my iphone if I want to add a new song, ringtone or whatever.  It seems that once removed I am able to reinstall later.
    Seems so illogical to have to do that everytime one wants to add something to my iphone.
    I'm hoping someone can tell me that I'm missing something and it can't be as bad as I'm saying.   Because if it is this bad then despite loving the iphone I will be strongly tempted to go Android where one can just drag and drop.

    Nancy ...
    The apps that run om your 3G (which can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1) may not run on your iPhone iOS 6.
    On your iPhone 5 open the App Store then locate one of the apps that didn't sync.

  • Unable to update my apps after installing iOS 6.1

    unable to update some of my apps after installing iOS 6.1 on my ipad 3

    After Updating iTunes to the latest SW, I connected my iPod Touch 3G to the computer then checked iTunes for any app updates, found those that could not be updated to the iPod alone - downloaded them - when complete iTunes synced to my iPod. Worked fine for me.
    I have not installed iOS 5.0.1 - to many problems!!

  • Option to keep app data when removing an app from iPhone

    I'm sure this has been asked for before, but are there any plans to add this feature?
    It would be nice to be able to remove an app (after all I only have 16gb of space and can't keep adding new apps) and have iTunes keep a back up of it's data so it's restored when you re-add the app.
    The iPhone is overtaking devices like the PSP and DS in game sales, so it's clear that a lot of people use the iPhone for gaming. With other portable games consoles, you can choose what games you want to take with you when you're out and about without fear of losing saved games if you decide to leave one at home. It would be a great feature if you could add and remove games at will just as simply as adding or removing playlists. After all, you can remove a playlist from your device to make room, but can always re-add it later.
    As I said before, I'm sure lots of people want this feature, but all I want to know is if it is in the works or not.
    Thanks for reading.

    I agree it would be a very nice feature; the iPhone's syncing and data backup capabilities are very limited compared to devices that have preceded it like Palms and even the HP handhelds of 15 years ago. However, you won't get an answer here because this is a user forum and Apple does not respond to posts.
    The good news is that the API allows app developers to save data and transfer it to your computer either by over the Internet, by wire or WiFi, and some app developers have incorporated backup features into their apps. The bad news is that the process is manual, for each app, and that the process is not the same across apps.

  • Unable to install/update apps in IPhone-4s after updating OS to IOS 6

    Hi ,
         After updating to IOS 6 i'm not able to download/update apps on my phone. It says
    Account Not In The Store
    Your account is not valid for use in U.K store. You must switch to
    the Indian store before purchasing.
    For example: I tried installing "Facebook" app.
    Is there anyone who is having the same problem ? . If anyone know about this issue please let me know.
    Thanks in advance

  • Weather app on iPhone, iOS 8.1, shows "no results found" in China

    Hello,
    I've checked about 20 iPhones in China so far and they all seem to have the same problem.
    When using iOS 8.1 or 8.1.1 (even 8.0.x) the weather app shows "no results found" when searching for any city in the UK. Only London can be found.
    The same goes for Germany. Only four cities in the entire country can be found.
    I have checked on several iPhone 6, 6+, and on 5c.
    Even when using a VPN and being virtually in the US, I don't get any results for e.g. Manchester.
    Could someone else with an iPhone purchased in mainland China do a search for Manchester and confirm this problem please?
    Thank you. :-)

  • How to reply from Gmail account using Hotmail address in Mail app in iPhone iOS 6?

    Hello,
    Since the iOS 6 upgrade on my 4 iPhone, the "imap.gmail.com" won't work.
    I had my e-mail set up as "other" and would receive my Hotmail in Gmail using imap, so I could reply using my Hotmail address.
    So I deleted everything and tried again but it still won't work.
    In the mean time, I am using the Gmail App but can't use the Apple Mail app because it won't reply from my Hotmail address, and I do not want to have to choose my reply-to address; I didn't have to before.
    I do not want to use my Gmail address for anything.
    I want to always use my Hotmail address.
    Praying for help! I want to be able to use my Mail app like before!
    Also not sure if the Gmail app is killing my battery, or if the new iOS 6 is....
    Thanks so much.

    I said I want to use my Hotmail ADDRESS only. Not the Hotmail e-mail.
    I check my Hotmail in Gmail. I love how Gmail is set up.
    I've tried deleting and recreating.
    In order to check my Hotmail in Gmail on the iPhone, and reply from my Hotmail address using Gmail, you have to set up your mail on the iPhone using "other" when adding an e-mail account.
    Since the upgrade, it will no longer let me use the "imap" feature and based on my research, it seems like everyone is having this issue.
    Yes, I can use the Gmail e-mail account, but when I reply it'll show my Gmail address and I'd like it to show my Hotmail address WITHOUT having to use a drop-down menu and switch the reply-to address.
    Hope that clarifies.

    I cannot delete your posts. As I explained, only the Hosts can.
    And if you can find it in your heart to actually pass on the feedback that the pre installed apps not being able to easily be gotten rid of is a problem, then that would be great.
    Use the feedback link I gave in my first post.
    Apparently one of your hosts deleted his own post where he called me an idiot for necroing this thread, where it's still an issue. Obviously I'm not so naive as to think it'd be changed on one person's say-so, but the fact that he deleted his own post is problematic and goes to trust and accountability.

  • Simultaneous app downloads iphone ios 6 doesn't work

    Hi There,
    I have a iphone 4S with IOS 6.1.2 and recently noticed that when updating apps from the app store they don't download simultaneous even if its below the 20 mb mark.
    Has anyone noticed the same behavior on there iphone or Ipad.
    Any suggestions??
    Thanks

    Basically if it says Waiting, it means something else is downloading at the time. Again Downloads are sequential.
    I've had several instances of having 4 or 5 apps finish downloading, before the first one has finished installing, which means i'll get the progress bars about halfway full on more than one App, and once the slow one finishes installing the nextone in line will start to install while the others keep waitign, sometimes its fast other times it takes a while, it depends on the App, and the update entirely.
    Its also entirely possible sometihng else is downloading at the time. Like a Podcast, or music or anything, and again it will be sequential. You may not see the other thing being downloaded in another App but it will cause The Apps that came after it to wait for their turn to download.

  • How to delete app from iphone iOS 7?

    Just upgraded. But found I cannot delete the unwanted apps directly from the mobile devices. Any clue?

    Attempt to delete the app as indicated above: hold down one app icon, icons will start to wiggle, X's appear in the upper-corner of some apps. click the X of the app you want to delete, select 'Delete' in the message that appears.
    It will look like nothing has happened. Now go to App Store and try to redownload the same app. There it may say 'Open' Instead of 'Install', select what ever is there. A fresh copy of the app will be loaded again on you iphone and the icon will become clear (not black or dark). Now repeat the first steps to delete an app (i.e. make the x's show, click the x of the app you want to delete) it will be deleted/removed completely).
    This worked on my iphone, hope it will work with you too.
