Why do I have shadow apps

I Recently updated to ios8 and increased my iCloud storage.  Now I have a lot of shadow apps.  What is it and what do I need to?  This is on my iPhone 5s.

They may be different versions of the same app. Click on each and make sure that you keep the most up-to-date version.  You can remove the older versions by clicking and holding on an icon, they will all shake and have a big X in the upper right hand corner, clicking on the X will remove the app, both from Launchpad and your app folder.

  • Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?

    I'm trying to reduce the number of apps that I need to run, and this one just boggles my mind.
    Why do we have separate apps for phone, messages, and contacts?
    The messages is to tightly coupled to the phone, that it doesn't make any sense for them to be separate.
    The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
    What's the story here?
    Does it have something to do with the contacts also being part of email app?
    Actually, that's my other biff... why are they entangled as such?
    Phone contacts should have phone#, email contacts should have email addresses.
    If you want a contact to have both phone# and email address, then the two apps (phone/email) should be combined.

    The contacts app is nothing more then looking at the contacts from the phone app.
    What's the story here?"
    The forums would be full of people complaining that you had to go through an additional step ( opening the phone app) to get to contacts.  I use the contacts app from the home screen far more often then I use it in relation to calling someone.
    I like the way it is far more than the way you propose.

  • Why do I have duplicate App Icons on my new iPod Touch?

    Just got the new 5th gen iPod Touch yesterday and already LOVE it--just couldn't be happier, except for one thing:
    Installed all of my apps last night, and for some reason there are duplicate icons for three of them--GetGlue, Google+, Google Voice, and YouTube.
    They are in my "Social" folder on my home screen, and they work just fine. But there's a second set of those four that say "Installing" under each one; I've moved the duplicates to another folder on the second page of my home screen to hide them, but they are really bothering me--I don't want any clutter or issues on my new device.
    I cannot delete these duplicate icons, when I tap and hold to enter edit mode, they do NOT have the little "x" in the corner to tap for deletion.
    Any ideas? I spent forever getting my new iPod Touch set up last night, downloading all my music, etc. I really don't want to have to start from scratch again on day two.

    Try restarting your iPod or turning it off and switching in on again. It worked for me.

  • Why do I have duplicate Apps in Launchpad

    I just installed Lion this morning and really like the interface. It is really nice.
    I have duplicate icons for things like Address Book, App Store, Calculator, iCal, etc.
    Is there a way to remove the duplicates?

    You must contact iTunes support to get the problem resolved.

  • Why are most of the apps (anything that has to search) on my iphone4 and ipad (1) running very slow (or not at all) since iOS5 update...esp google. Search seems to go quickly, but then when I try to open a link..nothing. I have turned off icloud.

    I am having the same problem. Did turning off iCloud work? Did you just turn everything off or did you actually delete the account off your iPod?

  • Why do i have a question mark instead of the app picture. It wont let me use the app either.

    Why do i have a question mark instead of the app picture. It wont let me use the app either.

    Where is your Calculator application located? Before you can put it into the Dock you need to remove the Question Mark. Select it with the mouse and drag it out of the until it "poofs" away. Now locate Calculator and drag its icon into the Dock.

    Why can't I download apps I have to pay for on to my new iPad Mini. I have had an Apple id for my iPhone for years and have downloaded app to it, no problems. When I try to download apps to my new iPad Mini, it tells me my billing info has to be confirmed. After confirming with same info that is already there it tells me to contact support, no help up to this point.

    Could the credit card be expired?
    Beyond that, what you need to do is contact iTunes support, they can tell you exactly what is wrong, none of us here can do that.
    In the lower right corner of this page is a 'contact us' link. Click on that and you'll see a page full of info and links, one of which is iTunes support.

  • Why is my Creative Cloud desktop app telling me I don't have any apps installed, when in fact I do?

    Just noticed this forum so thought I'd post my question in here too...
    So, I [think] I just downloaded the latest CC desktop app/manager and when it finished etc and opened up, it's now telling me that I don't have any apps installed. I do, I have PS, AI, InDesign etc etc etc.
    Why is the new desktop app wrong all of a sudden? Why isn't it recognising what apps I have downloaded on my computer?
    I've just installed PS 2014, expecting it to tell me 'you've already got this on your computer' but it didn't, I just carried on with the install as if I didn't already have it [it doesn't appear to of doubled up]...why isn't it 'synced', what am I missing?
    Thanks in advance

    uninstall your cc desktop app, clean and reinstall per, http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html

  • Why is my ipod so slow and laggy? i have lots of space on it, my history is deleted, i dont have multiple apps running! I have an iPod 4th Gen for about 2 years now and I don't know what to do.... Please help

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    Why do I have to pay for a app on my iPhone when I have it already on my Ipad

    That's up to the seller of the app. Many, but not all, apps will work on both the iPhone and iPad. For those apps that do you only need to pay for them once, as long as they were purchased with the same Apple ID. But app developers have the option of selling separate versions of their app for iPhone and iPad. For those apps you have to pay for them for each platform.

  • Why do i have a question mark on my app store

    why  do I have A question mark on my app store?

    To delete that question mark, just hold the Command key and drag it off the Finder, so that question mark will be removed. That's caused when the item you had there is deleted, so Finder doesn't find it and it shows the question mark
