• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

I recently backed up my Apple gear including my iPad to my MacBook.
To retrieve some space on my iPad I deleted a lot of unused Apps to make room for some videos.
Today whilst looking in the "Trash" in my MacBook, in order to empty it, I noticed that all the Deleted Apps were there!
Had the "deletion" been transferred over the cloud?
I was always under the impression that once you'd backed up, the Apps were safe in ITunes to be reinstalled at a later date?
Just glad I didn't just empty the Trash without checking!

Rod, Don't know. I'll have to research that one with a book that I've got here.
 
Not sure what you mean by 'Apple gear' Rod? Another iMac ?

If you have purchased apps, or programs as we used to call them, from the App Store then you can always download them again.

I don't have the latest version of the OS or any recent iPads/pods etc and so don;t know how they interact with each other these days. I'm not a great fan of 'cloud' stuff TBH. For the very reasons you have highlighted.
 
I mean MacBook Pro, iPad and iPhone.

My iPad wasn't connected to the MacBook (where I back it up to iTunes) physically.
I know if I buy Apps on my phone they often finish up as well on my iPad but if I delete them from the Pad it doesn't delete from my phone.
I was surprised that all the deleted ones were in the MacBook's Trash and taking up space.
I didn't dare delete them in case I couldn't get them back?
Removing most of the Apps only released about 6Gbs which was equivalent to 3 videos so hardly worth it!
