Uninstalled apps keep trying to reinstall

I just got a new Z3 Tablet Compact (wifi only). I already have an Xperia Z1 phone, and when I entered my account all the apps I had installed on my phone were installed on my tablet. However, some of these are apps I would never use on my tablet, such as activity monitors, apps that link to my cell provider, etc. So I uninstalled them, using the menu on the right hand side of the screen and checking the ones I didn't want. All is well. 
However, every time I turn on the tablet, it starts reinstalling these apps. How can I stop this from happening?

I had actually tried that. 
I made a mistake on my previous post. The menu I used first to uninstall was the left-hand menu (not the right-hand) when you're in the app screen. On that menu, when you click uninstall, there appears a little box with an x next to each app except the ones you can't uninstall. when you touch that box, the app goes away.  It's actually a nice and easy way to uninstall things. 
The first time the apps reinstalled themselves, I thought maybe I should have used Settings/Apps instead, and uninstalled them from there. However, the same thing happened again. Out of curiosity, I uninstalled a few from the app screen menu, and checked to see if they still appeared in the Settings/Apps menu, and they didn't. 
However, it hasn't happened again, and the only reason I can see that it's stopped is that in the meantime I've cleared the notifications list, that tells you what apps have been installed. It's not very intuitive, but I hadn't done anything else that would have stopped it.

    My IPhoto would no longer open, I uninstalled it, and tried to reinstall it with my software reinstall drive.  A message keeps coming up, installation failed. What do I now?

    If you have a copy of it backed up, restore that. If not, back up your computer, upgrade it to Mavericks, and then get the current iPhoto version. If you don't have it backed up and don't want to upgrade, go to the Mac App Store main page, click on Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

  • Creative Cloud desktop keeps trying to reinstall updates

    Just over the last week or so, Creative Cloud desktop keeps trying to reinstall the same updates for Photoshop CC, Photoshop 6 and Bridge CC over and over again. As we do not have a fast broadband connection, this blocks the internet for everyone else at the same location for about an hour. I am running Bridge 6.0.1.6 and Photoshop CC 14.2.1. I thought I had wholly uninstalled PS6 on the machine in question (Retina MacBook Pro), so I don't understand why CC desktop is trying to update it. Updates have installed for each of the last three days, so I cannot imagine there is another huge update waiting to install again today, as CC desktop shows.
    In addition CC destop keeps losing LightRoom 5 from my Apps. I already had a copy of LR5, which came with a Leica Camera but just to make sure it was linked to my CC acount, I reinstalled it via the CC desktop. It was showing as one of my updated apps but this morning has dropped down to showing "install" again, even though the latest version 5.4 is defintiely installed, synched and working.
    HELP!!

    I guess I'm a little mystified by this reply.  I've reported no problem signing in or out of adobe, nor have I experienced any.
    I've been going along with a creative cloud desktop and updates for over a yr now so not sure how my install would suddenly be 'faulty'.  Complete removal and reinstall is something like a days work if you have any related difficulties at all yet it seems to be the most often suggested remedy.
    Is there no chance of something that does not require a hefty input of my time getting the tools to work rather than using them, that can be done to remedy what seems to be something like a stuck routine in the install routines?
    Any other folks with an idea about this?

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.

  • JInitiator 1.3.1.29 keeps trying to reinstall

    I am trying to install JInitiator 1.3.1.29.
    Everytime I access a particular site, even though the JInitiator has already been installed onto my computer, it tries to reinstall again.
    I am using IE 6 and Windows XP sp 2
    Things I have tried so far:
    1. I cleard the temp internet files and cache files
    2. I cleared the java cache (jar) files.
    3. I deinstalled all the installed JInitiators that were installed on my computer (there were two).
    4. I went to C:/Program Files/Oracle and deleted all of the files and directories there.
    5. Verifed that my IE isn't blocking pop-ups.
    I went back to the website and allowed it to install JInitiator 1.3.1.29.
    It said that it installed successfully. But when I tried clicking on the link on the webpage again, it tried to reinstall the JInitiator 1.3.1.29 again.
    This seems to work fine for a co-worker on my team. I am working with her to see what the differences are between her computer and mine.
    Anyone know why this is happening??
    Thanks,

    Moving around or deleting components of QT is only going to create problems. For example, if you delete QTOControl dll, QTOLibrary dll, QTUIPanelControl dll from C:\Program Files\QuickTime. QuickTime would start to re-install when you try to open QT player. If you try to open a file you'd get error 46 DirectX.
    If you restore them back from the recycle bin, things will work correctly again. What your doing to tidy the computer makes no sense

  • Why does a delated app keep trying to download every time I sync

    I have deleted an app from my iPhone and it does not appear in my app. list any more, everytime I re sync using itunes it appears on my iPhone to be trying to download again. This appears to be messing up my synchronisation because the sync bar just keeps going until I delete the app from the iPhone screen every time. The particular app is a website app and I have deleted the website from everywhere on my computer in an attempt to stop this happening but it still keeps reappearing, any ideas please?

    Hello,
    You can delete them in your Downloads list but not permanently.
    All you can do is contact iTunes Store Support :

    (choose iTunes Store > Connecting and Downloading)
    Hope this will help.
