Will syncing delete a removed app from iPad?

Some time ago I installed the "Simpsons Tapped Out" game on my iPad, which was removed some days later from the app store by the publisher because of performance problems. It still works and even got an update some days ago. But since the removal from app store, the app also doesn't appear in my iTunes app list anymore. What will happen now if I sync my iPad with iTunes (I haven't since)? Will the app be deleted from the iPad?

If the app is not in your iTunes library and you have Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPad sync preferences with iTunes, yes.
To copy the app to your iTunes library, with your iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPad.
iTunes includes an option to automatically download apps purchased/downloaded direct with an iOS device. Go to iTunes > Preferences. Under the Store tab select Apps below Automatic Downloads. You can do the same for music and books.

After iTunes Crash Sync deleted nearly all apps on iPad

I´d recently problems with iTunes: By syncing with iPad and with iTunes Match my library crashed. It started a safe mode, and I´ve recognized that about 9.000 from my 24.000 songs have been lost. No greater problem, as I´ve iTunes Match. It needed quite a time, and the library was complete again. The lost 9.000 songs have not been added from the PC, but they are in the cloud and I can load them again.
My greater problem: What I didn´t recognize is that the apps were lost, too. There were no apps and no e-books in my iTunes.
And now the best: As I wanted to load my iPad iTunes started syncing and deleted nearly all my apps from my iPad. Only 29 apps remained. Why especially this 29 apps remained and not other 29 - I don´t know...
The re-installing of the apps is not the problem, too. But the game saves... all lost? Or will my cloud sync help?
And the restored library is now a second PC for my iTunes Match.
So it would be really great if anyone of you can help me with the following questions:
1. Why had my empty iTunes deleted all the apps on iPad and not the other way (full iPad saving backup on iTunes)?
2. How can I get my old iPad situation back? Can I anyway?
3. How can I deactivate an inactive PC from iTunes Match? (Deactivation is just possible for the actual library)
4. Can I restore my game saves when the apps do not offer iCloud sync?
5. And what will happen when my empty apps will sync with iCloud? Will the empty game saves delete the old ones?
6. And what will happen when I connect my iPhone and my iPod with power while iTunes is running? Will iTunes delete these apps, too?
Thanks a lot for your patience reading all the questions. I really hope you can help.

I have this same issue, except that when I drag/drop apps from the Library, to my iPad, it doesn't seem to update the checkmarks in the Sync Apps section. Shouldn't it be done automatically when I add apps in itunes in this fashion? Since on the next sync, if I change anything, it'll ask me if I want them removed or I have to cancel it all.
Also, if I don't Sync Apps, will my data still be backed up? That is, if I need to restore my iPad, will my apps be restored as well as the backed up data?
Thx.

Removed apps from iPad are resynced again with iTunes 11

Hi all,
I have the greatest problem
I use itunes and I select the app I want to remove from the iPad app screen and I remove them "not from the itunes library"
It removed but when I sync my iPad again, they are synced and installed.... And I have to remove them again from my device
This problem occured since itunes 11 and not found with me before
Is there any solution or an option I can make .. Rather than deleting the app from itunes library as I use the with other devices

OK.
As Demo indicated, IDs unfortunately can not be combined.
Decide which one you want to be "primary" and routinely remain logged on to that one on both the iPad and the computer. That way, all new purchases will be on the primary and you won't be making the problem any worse.
Change the password on one of the IDs so that both IDs use the same password.
The difficulty is in app updates. Both your iPad and iTunes on your computer will tell you that updates are available and it's possible to update them using either device (and a sync will update the other device). However, it's a nuisance updating from iTunes because you most log out and back in again, get the update, and when finished log out and back in again to get back on your primary.
Remember that the iPad is always logged in to the primary ID. When the iPad tells you that updates are available, you either "select all" or choose one at a time for updating. If you "select all," only those associated with the primary ID will be updated but sometimes you're lucky and that's everything. The apps on the secondary ID will not have been updated and they should subsequently be selected one at a time for updating. You will NOT need to log out and back in again! All that will be necessary is to enter the password.
If any of the above did not make sense, post back and I'll explain.

COMPLETELY remove app from ipad air?

I recently installed an app on my ipad which later locked up while downloading a data file from the providers website. So the app is stuck in the download. I removed the app then reinstalled it. It remembers that it was in a download and immediately tried to download the data file again and then locks up again. How can I get it to "forget" where it was and get a clean reinstall?
I've searched for similar issues and found discussion about removing the app from iTunes, so I will mention that this app does not appear in my iTunes library.
The app also appeared on my wife's ipad via the cloud and seems to work normally so I know it is possible to function.
Thanks for any insight!

I've already tried that, to be clear though... The download done not fail, it reinstalls the app but it immediately attempts to download the file again all on it own, then locks up.
Clearly, SOMETHING, is being retained on my ipad. The app should not try do anything until I prompt it to and in fact didn't on the initial install. It was after I originally attempted to do the file download that caused the lockup that I now cannot stop from happening when reinstalled.
How can I make it behave like it did the first time?

Can't remove apps from ipad mini

I touch an icon and keep holding but all apps’ icons won't start wiggling and displaying little white “x” sign in the small black circle at the top left corner.
I can't remove apps or rearrange icons.
Any advice.

Is there anything I can do about it (except buying new one)?
Do you know, is there any other limitation with Demo iPad?

Cannot remove app from iPad

How can I remove an app that has no "x" on it?

those are stock apps that came with the operating system. they cannot be deleted.

When I try to sync photos, I followed all the steps, picked one folder. When I hit "apply" I get this error message: Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad. What have I done wrong

When I try to sync photos or music, I followed all the steps, picked onle folder, not the whole library. When I hit "apply" I got this message:
Are you sure you want to remove 30 apps from iPad. This will delete these apps and their data from the iPad" What can I change to just download the photos and not interfere with the apps?
(By the way, the memory is not even one quarter full)
Thanks for your help - Pat

I have the same problem. I updated my mac to 10.5, which then had me update apps like itunes, etc. then it wanted me to sync my purchased music to my ipad before i updated the ipad...which worked ok. then when i was syncing the photos i got the same message when i hit "apply" asking are you sure you want to delete the 12 apps from the ipad - clicked "no" and brought me back to the original screen. Got the same message when trying to move them from the hard drive to the ipad. WHat is going on and how do I correct this? Thanks

Will the app specific files get deleted when i remove/uninstall an app from iPad

I've learnt that this data do get deleted along with the app during deletion/uninstallation. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

How do I remove apps from my app store history after I have deleted them from my iPad?

After trying an app and deciding that is isn't what I want and deleting it, I see that it still shows up when I look at my "purchased" apps in the App Store. I'd like to purge them from my device's history. I don't want them saved or backed up by iTunes, if that could even happen.
Also, App Store on my iPad always shows on its icon that I have more updates than I can find when I go into App Store. For example it may show 2 updates available, but when I go into App Store it says all apps are updated, yet the icon still shows 2 when I return to the home screen. Is this related to the issue above?
Thanks,
Bill

There is no way to remove apps from your purchase history. It simply cannot be done. You can HIDE apps from the purchased tab, but you can NEVER delete them.
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Support - Apple
As for the updates not clearing, try closing the App Store app and reboot your iPad,
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How do i prevent removed apps from syncing when connecting to iTunes

I've "removed" apps from my iPad to free up space but when I connect to my computer, the apps "appear" to still sync.
To the upper right of the screen, it will show there are 65 apps (I removed 20 apps). These are active apps and that is correct When I click on the status bar at the bottom of the screen (the Apps section), it shows there are 85 apps taking up space on my iPad.
Also, where the apps are listed, the apps that were "removed" from my iPad air have an option to "Install". I don't understand why they're still syncing. TIA for your help!

This does not help but it does offer some insight. I have NEVER noticed this before. Take a look at the dialog box in the is screenshot. Note that it says that even if the app is deleted from the iTunes library, it will not be removed for any iOS devices when you sync.
As an experiment, I deleted the AOL On app from my iTunes library and followed the prompts to put the app in the trash - not keep it in the mobile sync folder. I synced my iPad - and the app is still on the device even though it does NOT appear in my list of apps in iTunes when the iPad is connected and selected. I have never seen that happen before.
If the app is not in your library, I always assumed that it would be erased when you sync since it is no longer in iTunes. I deleted the app in iTunes and then deleted it on the iPad and then synced again and now it is gone everywhere.
Bizarre....

Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
Now this doesnt work.
The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
This doesnt work either.
I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
Im running:
Macbook Air 2012
OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

How do I retrieve videos made on my iPad that I accidentally deleted by removing them from from my photo stream?

How do I retrieve videos made on my iPad that I accidentally deleted by removing them from from my photo stream?

Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not synced. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are not touched with the iTunes sync process. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer which is not handled by iTunes. Most importing software includes an option to delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If is my understanding that some Windows import software supports importing photos from the Camera Roll, but not videos. Regardless, the import software should not delete the photos/videos from the Camera Roll unless you set the app to do so.
Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes before the videos on the Camera Roll went missing and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes since they went missing, you can try restoring the iPhone with iTunes from the iPhone's backup. Don't sync the iPhone with iTunes again and decline the prompt to update the iPhone's backup after selecting Restore.

How can I remove apps from my iPad

How can I remove apps from my iPad? It does not have the little "x" option on the iPad like the iPhones.

It works just the same as an iPhone. A long hold on an icon will cause them all to start wobbling, drag to move around or tap the X to remove.You can't remove any of the built-in apps so these won't get an X to tap.

How do I remove Apps from a sync in Itunes

You want the apps deleted from your iTunes library?
If you don't have Install selected for an app in your iTunes library, it won't be installed on your iPhone.
If you want the apps deleted from your iTunes library, select Apps under Library in the iTunes source list. Locate the apps you want to delete, select the apps there followed by deleting the apps.
