Uninstalling 3rd Party Apps

I'm new to Apple -- from Windows. I installed Firefox and would now like to uninstall it. How do I permanently uninstall 3rd party apps with the Apple?

Tucker
Welcome to the Discussions.There are several ways to uninstall Apps.
1. If the App comes with an uninstaller,use that.
2. If it has no uninstaller,just drag the App to the trash and empty the trash.
3. 3rd party Apps that claim to "completely" remove installed Apps.Unnecessary IMHO.

    I still stick to 1.1.4. How to uninstall 3rd Party apps?

    If you have 3rd party apps on a phone with 1.1.4, you must have a jailbroken phone. Discussion of those is heavily frowned on here. I recommend finding a forum that supports such phones.

  • Uninstall 3rd party apps

    How do you uninstall third party applications?

    From the iPhone, press and hold any icon on the home screen for 3 seconds or so where the app you want to delete is located. All icons will start to wiggle. You can move/position apps where you like at this point, and 3rd party apps will have an X on the icon. Select the X to delete the app with a confirmation that must be approved. Select the home button when finished.
    With iTunes, choose selected applications under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences. Deselect the application you want to delete from your iPhone in the window below followed by a sync. To reinstall the app, select the app in the window below followed by a sync.
    All this info is included with the iPhone's user guide which can be downloaded by your computer as a PDF file, and is also available on your iPhone as a Safari bookmark.

  • How to uninstall 3rd party app from MacBook Pro?

    Does anyone know how to uninstall a 3rd party application (RMSViewer) from MacBook Pro?  The app doesn't work and I want to remove it from memory.  I can't find an "uninstall" utility on my computer and the 3rd party software doesn't include an uninstall link.

    Tap and old the app until it starts to wiggle. Tap the "x" that appears on the corner of the icon.
    If that doesn't work, check Settings>General>Restrictions to see if removing apps is restricted.
    You may also want to take a read through the manual:

  • IPhone 3rd party apps won't launch anymore!

    After updating the iPhone software to 3.1, a host of 3rd-party apps won't launch anymore (appear for 1 second, then revert back to the apps icons page).
    I've tried upgrading to iTunes 9, uninstalling then reinstalling ALL apps on the iPhone via iTunes, hard rebooting my iPhone, restarting my iMac, etc etc, but nothing works.
    On a iPhone 3Gs page on the Forums, I saw many others having similar difficulties and blaming it on the XX upgrade. One solution proposed there was to download a free app from the App Store and install it. Tried that, and it didn't work for me.
    I hope Apple will give this attention, because it's basically disabled my iPhone's business-sensitive functionalities (like 1Password) on the eve of a 2week business trip ... and on business trips, I don't have my iMac with me! >:-(
    In case it helps the OS is showing as 3.1 (7C144) on my device.

    Hi!
    I may have a solution to your problem. I updated to Firmware 3.1 today and couldn´t open any application i downloaded. I seems the updated version of iTunes handles apps a little different from before. When you connect your iPhone and it pops up in iTunes, right click on it to enter your configuration area (for the iPhone). At the top bar you have a row of options like music, pictures, podcast and somewhere in the middle you have the option "Programs". Click on that and you will see a list of all the programs you have downloaded in iTunes. Unfortunatly you have to recheck all the boxes at the left side of the program you want to be synched to your iPhone. Check these boxes and click "Apply" at the bottom right and iTunes will now transfer them to your iPhone. Easy breasy when you know how to do.
    Best of luck, Cheers!

  • Delete 3rd party apps ?  HOW ?

    I would like to clean up my HD and erase 3rd party apps I don't use, such as :
    Adobe Photoshop CS2
    Canon Utilities
    CoreDuoTemp
    eDrawings (.dwg file viewer)
    Google Earth
    Google SketchUp 6
    HandBrake 0.7.1
    None have an uninstall program. Is there a SAFE way of deleting them ?
    Dragging them to Trash and emptying the trash is safe ?
    Appreciate any tips.

    Hi
    Adding to QTK's suggestion, also look in your HD>Library>Applications Support, and same location for your User Account. There you may see folders related to the apps you're looking to trash. Do the same for these folders.
    Photoshop is a bit trickier. In Applications Support you'll see an Adobe folder. Inside that folder look for anything Photoshop related. If you have other Adobe apps installed in your system, let us know the name of the Adobe folders in Applications Support. Otherwise, if you trash the wrong folders you may create operation problems opening other Adobe apps.
    Lastly, same Libraries - Preferences folder. Inside you'll find the preference files related to the apps you are trashing. Usually, either the app. name, or the developer name is part of the file name.
    Best strategy is to back-up the HD before trashing applications, especially if you are not sure. This way, you can revert to the original state if something goes awry.

  • New iMac Mountain Lion and 3rd party apps

    Todays date is March 31, 2013.
    If I were to buy a brand new iMac with Mountain Lion will I have any 3rd party Apps problems?
    Mountain Lion significantly damaged my current computer and they are blaming it all on 3rd party apps, so I wonder if it is gonna continue with a brand new iMac computer?

    Maybe my question was worded incorrectly. The question is not about my current computer, but about the new iMac being sold today.
    Suppose I buy a brand new iMac today and tomorrow I decide to install new software that claim to be compatible with ML, is there a chance that this software might not truely be compatible with ML? If the answer is "Yes" then why bother buying another iMac?
    Software sold on App Store -  are there software there that do not work with ML? It really makes me wonder what the heck is going on these days.
    To petermac87 - I had MacKeeper on my computer twice and both times I had to get rid of it, not sure if this software was causing problems or not, but it sure as heck did not solve any of my problems.
    Hi Keith, no I understand what you are doing. You need to be careful with some third party programs. MacKeeper, as you have found, is a very destructive program, despite all their claims. It has ground some users Macs almost to a halt.
    Most software from the App store and reputable developers such as Adobe, Roxio, etc. are well up to date. In fact,most software in the AppStore is Mountain Lion compatable. You will not find the dodgy Apps such as MacKeeper there. You need to remember that less is better when it comes to Macs. Your iMac does not need a swag of maintenance toolsas some people decide thry need. Clean My Mac, Anti-Virus programs, Novelty Apps etc. are unnecessary and will cause you nothing but problems.
    Apps such as iPhoto, iTunes etc.are made to intergrate with the Mac OS and are therefore safe and reliable, but once you add something such as MacKeeper or Intego Security, then it most likely will cause conflicts.
    So basically what I am saying is do not fill your iMac with a whole pile of unnecessary crapapps which will slow it down, cause conflict, etc. There are plenty of reliable Apps out there to do what you want. If the reviews are a little confusing, then please don't hesitate to drop back here and ask.
    And of course backup your system from Day 1 so you can always return it to a working state it you do by chance install something that causes problems and you can't uninstall.
    Good Luck

  • 3rd Party Apps stop working each day?

    Hi All,
    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. I got my new 3G phone on Sunday and loaded a bunch of 3rd party apps. Monday morning, none of them worked--I click to start, and looks like it will start (the screen changes to the initial app screen), then it abruptly closes. Doesn't happen for the pre-installed apps. So I deleted and reinstalled 2 apps and they worked, soon after, I noticed all of them were working again. Yesterday and today, same thing--none of the 3rd party apps is working.
    Anyone else with a similar story? Anyone know how to resolve it?
    Thanks in advance!
    Scott

    Thanks for the info--though I have heard conflicting info that pressing home on the 3G actually does terminate an app completely. Unfortunately, it does not resolve the issue with the 3rd party apps not working. I've tried soft reboots, hard reboots, switching from wifi to 3G, and even did a full restore, but no change. The only current way I can get them to work again is to uninstall one and reinstall it. For some reason, this also fixes the rest of them. Pretty sure this is an actual OS bug. You don't even need to reboot after reinstalling an app--it works, then the rest of them do. I guess I will just have to live with it until Apple comes out with an update. I have never had an Apple device before...is there a way for a user to enter a ticket so that they know about this issue?

  • 3rd Party Apps Not Opening?

    Hey, earlier today I installed a 3rd party application and i noticed once I installed it any other 3rd party application that I downloaded would not open so i uninstalled the program which I think was causing the problem yet the problem is still occuring, I cannot download any 3rd party app and open it succsefully. When I go to open a 3rd party app it display a few pixels in a line on the dock asif it was about to display the application icon but then it doesnt open?
    I have tried verifying my disk permissions and repairing them but nothing it working?
    Any reply would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks
    - Kieran

    I think it'll be better to restore your system using time machine to an earlier state...but i too am clueless to what exactly is the problem...try listing down the changes you made just before the problem started and if possible post them up here so that a more informed suggestion can be given

  • 3rd party apps crashing with 3.1

    I have a 3GS running 3.1, and after updating all 3rd party apps are crashing when I try to launch them. The app's splash screen will load, and then it'll go back to the iphone app screen.
    I've tried restoring and that didn't help.
    I then tried deleting and redownloading apps, and that didn't help.
    Has anyone found a way to fix this?

    this is Apple's response:
    Dear Corey,
    Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store. I understand that your applications are crashing, and have not been able to use it because it quits unexpectedly when you try to open it on your device. I know this is frustrating, and I will try to provide as much information as I can to help you resolve it.
    Corey, it's possible that the application became corrupt as it was downloading. Because you purchased the application and the installation was not successful, you may download it again at no charge. I recommend that you delete the application from your device and from iTunes, and then download the application to your computer and sync your device to your computer.
    To uninstall the application from your device Corey, tap and hold its icon on the home screen until the icons wiggle. Then tap the "X" next to icon of the application to delete it. To stop the other icons from wiggling, press the Home button.
    To delete the application from iTunes, open iTunes and click Applications on the left, then click the icon of the application. Press the Delete key on your keyboard, then click the Remove button, and then click the Move to Trash button.
    Now, using your computer, sign in to your iTunes Store account and attempt to purchase the application again. You will be notified that you have already purchased the application and will be allowed to download it again for free. After downloading the application to your computer, sync your device to your computer.
    If your computer is not available Corey, you may try purchasing the application again using the App Store on your device.
    If the application quits unexpectedly even after you reinstall it, please reply to let me know. I will be happy to assist you further.
    Please note that if you download other types of iTunes Store content—such as songs or videos—and find that they are unusable, it’s not possible to simply delete them and download them again. Instead, you must sign in to your account, access your Purchase History, and click the "Report a Problem" button.
    Thank you for being an iTunes Store customer Corey. We appreciate your business. We here at the iTunes Store appreciate your business.
    I did this with a few apps, and most worked, but a couple still display the same launch/crash symptoms. Also, i have several apps that if I delete them from the phone, I would loose information entered into them, so this solution is fair from ideal. I'm also running Blizzard's Authenticator, which I can't easily remove from my battle.net account without logging in, and I can't log in without the authenticator working.

  • Airplay on Apple TV not working after upgrading to iOS 8 (3rd Party Apps)

    Hi
    I hope someone can help me with this issue.
    After upgrading the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 to iOS 8.1, as well as upgrading the Apple TV to the latest version, I now end up with ** some ** videos as well as photos that can't be played over AirPlay on 3rd Party Apps. (Note: I have no issues with 'mirroring' from the iPad to the AppleTV though.)
    1.   It can play .mp4 and .mov files;
    2.   It could NOT play .mkv or .avi files - there's audio but NO video
    3.   It can play the photos and videos from Apple's own apps (i.e. 'Videos' and 'Photos') however (i.e. with both audio and video)
    4.   It could NOT display any photos from 3rd Party Apps
    5.   This is happening to more than one 3rd Party Apps (i.e. no display of photos; and no video though there's audio)
    Fyi, I've emailed to the respective Developers, but after reading some of the threads in this forum, I suspect that the root cause could be with iOS 8 (as well as the latest software update to AppleTV) as I didn't have this problem at all under iOS 7.
    Anybody has any solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello Niket,

  • How can I forward an SMS as an email , i have doing this daily on 9900, surprised to miss this on Q10, i am ready to buy an 3rd party app also, if required, it is must for me.

    1. when i read an sms, there is option to forward as email in 9900.
    Since i am using Q10, i can not do this.
    I need this immediately.
    Anybody can help??
    I am ready to buy any 3rd party app also, if it can provide this without slowing down the performance.
    2. Further, i can not sms from contacts screen. There is no option to sms , when i select a contact. I have to go to SMS and there type contact name , how can i enable this?
    3. If i receive a call and i want to send sms to the person, i can not tap on called no and choose and option to sms him. I have to copy that number, go to SMS app and use that no to sms. If i am in a meeting , it is long process and kill focus in meeting. In android, there is one swipe to reject call and send an sms that i am in meeting. Can we achieve this basic features in Q10..

    I can forward a SMS as an email on my Q10.
    open the SMS and hold down on the text, this opens a side menu with the "share" icon on it (like a Y),
    Then you can select how you want to share, eg SMS, Email BBM etc.
    Hope this helps?

  • ALL of my 3rd party apps open and close immediately

    after connecting to itunes after a few months now ALL of my 3rd party apps open and close immidiately when i try to open them

    First try a hard reset.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  If that doesn't help, try downloading a new App free app from the app store to see if that helps.

  • How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

    First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it.  All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this?  I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
    Thanks!

    Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
    But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

  • ITunes Match and 3rd Party Apps - iPad/iPhone

    With the myriad of apps out there that integrate with iTunes, why is it that nearly none of them offer support for iTunes Match? (And, a seemingly cool one that claims to offer support -- "BeatBlaster" -- http://www.beatblaster.com/ -- that has all the features I'm looking for, isn't available in the App Store in the US).  I'm really surprised at the lack of information on this topic on the web... A Google search for it only pulls up articles that are 2-3 years old.   The best information I could find was that the API toolset made available to developers is either really limited, or it's just not available at all... and that's in an article from 2011.  Are you telling me that Apple is STILL -- 3+ years later -- limiting access to developer tools for iTunes Match integration (or just has never created any)?  I understand that I'm asking about something that could be considered "outside" of Apple (3rd Party apps), but I'm just really looking for someone that might be in the know on this stuff... And, I'm hoping that that person can clue the rest of us in on "what's up".
    Bottom line, I'm looking for a clock radio app that supports iTunes Match... I've got our Master Bedroom and Bath rigged up with in-ceiling speakers, attached to a bluetooth receiver, with a wall-mounted iPad serving as the "jukebox".  When my dang iPad doesn't drop the WiFi connection, it's pretty slick. I'd just like to have a single app that a) offers a large, well-visible clock, b) allows me to browse my iTunes Match library of songs and play them as I'd like, and c) have a "play my iTunes music as an alarm" option.  I know... directly d/l-ing songs to the iPad is an option, but it defeats the whole purpose of iTunes Match, which I subscribe to because my music library is WAY too big to fit on the iPad (or my iPhone).
    Anyway, any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    You'll have to ask the software makers this question. It is up to the 3rd party vendors, not Apple, to provide the features you are asking for.

Maybe you are looking for
