Weather Chiripiku App | How'd it get on my phone?
I just downloaded and installed Onavo Count on my phone (love it, btw). To my surprise, however, one of the apps that it reported on was in Japanese.
After doing some research, I found the app. It's called "Weather Charipiku" (https://itunes.apple.com/jp/app/id518574494).
I NEVER downloaded this app. In addition, it does not display an icon in my phone, in iTunes, etc. Until I installed Onavo Count I had no idea this app even existed, much less that it was on my phone.
A) How did it get there?
B) Is it a malicious app, by chance?
C) It's transmitting data from my phone. What is it transmitting?
D) How do I get rid of it since iTunes can't see it?
Thank you,
Lee in Oregon
Ok Thanks.
When did it show up ? During one of the recent IOS upgrades?
Never remember it and seems strange that there is no way to see where it came from.

i have an app update on my phone through the app store, but i dont have that app and when i hit update it says the item is no longer available for sale,, but i cannot get rid of the little 1 at the corner of the app store app,, how can i get rid of it,, i have iphone 5
You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store notice. For example, if the App Store says you need to update "Twitter," the hacked app may be "Angry Birds" or something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you have to carry out a systematic search.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
In the Finder, press the key combination command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu initially showing Kind. From that menu, select Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select Raw Query and click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of popup menu. Click in that box and paste (command-V).
The search window will show all the App Store products you've installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the items listed in the search window is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Test. -

You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

I some how deleted the safari app on my iphone as well as my app store and the itunes store app how do i get it back?
They are pre-installed apps and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved them onto a screen or into a folder. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the apps are still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find them on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Also check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure Safari, iTunes and Installing Apps and Deleting Apps are all ON.

My ex's Apple ID plus password request keeps coming up on my iPhone when trying to download Apps, how do I get rid of it please?
Tks heaps for that, had a look at Store and ITunes sections, not overly helpful unless I am missing something.
My issue is that on my computer she would update her iPhone with Software updates via iTunes.
I have gone and deleted her backups that were still sitting on there.
If I want to update my Apps on my iPhone when due her Apple ID and password request will come up as an option to use that account if I knew the password and it's synced from my Computer even though she has been gone 7 months now. Is it a syncing issue or is her Apple ID stored in my iTunes backups somehow and keeps coming back? Do I need to de-authorize her account from my Computer? -

You cannot delete it. It is likley on another page, in a folder, or you have restrictions set.
Check.
If not, then reset your home screen layout.
All of this is covered in the manual:

Hi All,
I did the last update, there was a 'catastrophic failure' i had to restore my iPhone and now have lost all my apps, how do i get them back? Any ideas?
Thanks
ClareAll of your apps should be in iTunes on the computer, simply sync them back.
If they are not, go into the purchase history and download them again. -
