iTunes is a player for storing and playing music and video files. On a PC with Windows OS, it does not always work well: it takes a long time to load, it freezes. Restart the program to solve the problem. But this doesn't always help. What to do? Reinstall iTunes. If you don't need it anymore, uninstall it. But difficulties may arise. Consider how to remove itunes from your computer. What methods to use for this.

Removal using Windows

Let's see how to completely uninstall the program using standard utility Windows. Press the key combination Win + R and write the command "appwiz.cpl".

Next, find iTunes, click on the shortcut right click, and select Delete.

We are waiting for some time.
On a PC with a player, add-ons are loaded interconnected:


We remove them in the following order:

  1. Apple Software;
  2. mobile device;
  3. Bonjour;
  4. Apple Application Support (thirty-two or sixty-four bit version).

On some systems, iTunes installs two versions of Application Support. Delete them.
Now delete the rest in C:\Program Files (x86):

  • Bonjour;
  • Common Files\Apple;
  • iTunes.

Delete Library: C:\User\Username\Music\iTunes.
After completing all the steps above, restart your PC.

Backups will remain on the PC.

How to delete a backup

We clean the registry

Follow the sequence of these steps:


On the desired entry, right-click and then "Delete".

We delete in this way all entries from the registry.

We use specialized software

Some users will find the steps above difficult. Then remove iTunes and its components using special uninstallers. I like to work with or Your Uninstaller, which will automatically remove information about the program from the registry.
Consider the example of the Your Uninstaller program. Open the utility, and find the program in the list. Next, click on the blue button. Uninstaller will do everything on its own.

Check if everything is removed
In rare cases, some supporting files remain on the system. How to check it? After complete removal program do the following:

  2. Delete if the following folders remain: iTunes, Bonjour, iPod.

What are the problems

When installing or uninstalling iTunes, error 2503 may occur. Displayed as "Itunes Error Code 2503". This is due to the use of software from Apple Inc. The reasons for its appearance are as follows:

  1. Damaged or incomplete program installation;
  2. A virus that has corrupted a file associated with a program.

How to fix

Let's perform the following sequence of actions:


An error occurs during the first installation

This problem is related to the presence of viruses on your PC. Scan the PC with the antivirus installed on the system. I recommend using Dr.Web CureIt. It will scan the system and remove viruses. Download it for free from the official website at: free.drweb.ru/download+cureit+free/?lng=ru After treatment, restart your PC, and try installing iTunes again.

iPod Service Error

This means that the file is being used by another application. Do this:

  1. Close iTunes and iPod Updater;
  2. Launch the "Task Manager" press the key combination Ctrl + Alt + Del;
  3. Go to the "Processes" tab;
  4. In the list we find iPodService.exe and click the "End Process" button.

Conclusion

We looked at how to properly uninstall iTunes. Despite the fact that a complete removal looks rather complicated, in most cases there are no errors when uninstalling using standard Windows tools. Personally, I use CCleaner or Your Uninstaller. They work great. If you intend to reinstall iTunes after deletion, then I recommend downloading the program only from the official website located at: apple.com/ru/itunes/download. It's free and will help you avoid many mistakes in the future.

Hi all! Now I will say one very banal thing - unused games and applications take up the precious memory of your iPhone, and in order to free it up, they must be deleted. Moreover, it would seem that such a simple process as erasing programs should not cause any difficulties. Pressed - removed. This is what happens most often. But often doesn't mean always.

Sometimes, some program or toy refuses to be removed, or other problems arise. That is why I have already prepared an instruction (large and useful) that will teach you to completely, permanently and irrevocably delete programs and games downloaded to the iPhone or iPad, and also tell you how to behave if something goes wrong. Let's go! :)

How to uninstall an app from iPhone and iPad

Here we have three ways - you are free to choose absolutely any. The process for each of them is quite simple, so ... I will be brief:

In fact, the simplest and fast way is of course the first. That is what they use in most cases. However, others have a right to exist. For example, uninstalling a program through the settings allows you to control the amount of memory in your iPhone or iPad. Well, there is no need to talk about using iTunes - many work with their device exclusively with the help of it, and it is much more convenient for them to do it in this way.

By the way, in my practice I met a person who stubbornly proved to me that it is only possible to delete programs correctly and, in general, to fully work with Apple technology only through iTunes. All the rest - complete error and stupidity. Thank God, our communication was short-lived.

Is it possible to completely remove the program from the iPhone and how to do it?

As soon as you use any of the methods mentioned above, you completely remove the program. However, it will still appear in the "purchases" section as a cloud with an arrow. Which means that it is available for download at any time from under your account.

Unfortunately, you cannot completely remove applications from this list. Since this contradicts the very essence of this list - to allow the user to download applications without forcing him to pay for them again. However, they can be hidden and not shown in the list of previously downloaded ones.

How to Hide a Game or App from Purchases on iPhone or iPad

To do this, you need a connection to a computer and iTunes installed.

Updated! More recently, Apple even freaked out and now there is no iTunes on the computer App Store. That's it - they just took it and removed it. But we need it! What to do? Do not despair - I have.

Did you download and install the "correct" version? Now let's get down to business:


Everything, so the application is completely "removed" from the device and it is not visible in the shopping list. It looks like you never downloaded this program or a game - it is not on the device, and it is not displayed in the iCloud cloud either. However, everything can be returned back.

How to display all programs in the shopping list

To display all those applications that we hid with you in the previous paragraph, we also need iTunes.

  1. Open iTunes and sign in with your Apple ID.
  2. Again, click on the name and select the item in the list - "Account Information".
  3. You may be asked to enter your password again - do it.
  4. In the window that opens, we find the item - "iTunes in the cloud." Under it there will be an inscription - "Hidden purchases", and on the right - "Manage".
  5. You will see all hidden content. Simply select the one you want and click "Show".

But sometimes these manipulations are not enough for complete removal, because there is still information that accumulates in the process of interacting with a program or game. Learn how to get rid of it...

How to delete all game data on iPhone and iPad?

As you progress through any game, the so-called game progress, achievements and other merits that you earn in the process accumulate. And that's great. But sometimes you want to start the game “again”, without all these saves, but when you reinstall the game, you have to start not from the beginning, but from the level you finished.

What to do in this case? How to erase everything and start from scratch? There are two solutions and it all depends on where this data is stored:

That's just cleaning up this data, we can say that the application or game has been completely removed from the iPhone or iPad. But sometimes there are problems...

Why games and applications are not deleted in iOS and what to do?

It would seem that it can be difficult to remove a program? But trust me, it happens...

Below are the most common problems that a user may encounter, as well as their solution:

  • There is no cross on the application icon or there is no delete button (in the event that actions are performed through the settings). Solution! Most likely, restrictions are set and deletion is blocked. You can remove them by going to Settings - Accessibility - Restrictions - Uninstall programs.
  • The game was deleted, but the empty icon from it remained and is not deleted in any way. Or the app is idle and downloading and can't be deleted! Solution! Everything about such ailments is possible.
  • You can delete, but not all applications - some do not have a cross. Solution! There are two options here - standard applications from the Apple( , weather, calculator, etc.) it is impossible to delete them (with the advent of iOS 10, such an opportunity appeared). Or, these are programs downloaded when using a jailbreak - some of them must be removed directly through Cydia (Cydia - Manage - Packages).

It would seem that a simple process - to delete a game or application, and what a voluminous article turned out - I myself did not expect. Therefore, if you have read it to the end, then it is worth noting this case and praising yourself - by putting a "like"!

P.S. And of course, if you have any questions or something doesn’t work out, feel free to write in the comments. I'll try to answer everyone!

AppStore abounds free apps: the user's eyes literally run wide when he first enters this virtual store. The user installs funny applications one after another, without thinking about their usefulness, as well as what memory clutter will lead to: device will freeze. At the first “alarming symptoms”, the user is already starting to think about how to remove applications from the iPhone, until it becomes necessary to reset the settings to factory settings. Fortunately, there are several ways to remove it - the owner of the "apple" gadget has the right to choose which one suits him best.

Please note that the icons of built-in applications also “tremble” when pressed for a long time, but the “cross” does not appear above them.

It is not possible to remove any stock apps from iPhone.

Remove unwanted applications through "Settings"

Uninstall programs through the built-in application " Settings» is possible only from those gadgets on which it is installed iOS version above 5.0 (inclusive). This method is more informative - users can see how much memory a particular program occupies, and it is on this basis that they decide whether to delete it.

To completely remove the program through " Settings", proceed as follows:

Step 1. Follow the path" Settings» — « Main» — « Statistics”, and you will see a list of programs installed on the gadget. Initially, only the most "weighty" applications will be shown - if you want to see the full list, click on the " Show All Programs.

Step 5 Click " Apply”, and after synchronization, the program will be deleted from the iPhone.

Applications are not deleted: what is the reason?

Step 2 Enter your security password (the one you always enter when you unlock your gadget). Be careful: there are only two attempts!

Jailbroken iPhone owners may also run into problems when uninstalling programs from Cydia - often there is simply no “cross” on the icons. In this case, it is better to erase applications directly through the alternative store (path " Cydia» — « Manage» — « packages»).

Is it possible to erase game data on iPhone?

Progress in games from the AppStore is tied to the account, so if the user wants to start the game over, he has two options:

It was after deleting the game data from iCloud the user can be sure that he erased the application completely.

Conclusion
