Ok, before you throw on your flame suit, this isn't what you think. I will admit I was using a pirated app or two but I've given up on that now that beta 3 wont run app store apps if the iDevice is jailbroken, plus I was getting fed up with how glitchy having a jailbroken iPhone was, as well as needing it be tethered in order to boot so I'm leaving the iOS Pirate scene for now.

The problem being that now that I've removed the pirated apps from iTunes and my iPhone made a new backup of iCloud and a new backup on iTunes.. they will NOT go away.. every time I sync they all just come right back and on my iPhone it displays with the apple ID's "steve@rim.jobs" and "rob.janoff@apple.com".

I just want it all gone, I just want to have a nice legal iPhone again and it wont let me.. I don't even know where it's getting the info for these pirated apps anymore, I've delete it all off of my mac and my iPhone as well as making new backups and I even did a full restore through DFU mode and restored from the new backups I've made and I just can't get rid of them.

The only thing I can think of left to do is delete my backups completely and start back over from scratch and sync the contacts from the mac address book.

Is there anything else I can try to get rid of these pirated apps from magically coming up on my iPhone?

Oh, I almost forgot. I also put my iPhone unplugged from USB with Airplane mode on and wifi kept off.. but some how, out of the mist of pure magic, the apps returned on my home screen and again asking for the passwords to the apple ID's even with no way for the iPhone to connect to my mac or apple id accounts in anyway.. Is there some kind of back door tracking apple is doing with iOS 5 cause thats kinda creepy that even with no connection to the iPhone the apps came back as if they were trying to install them self automatically. I even tried this after rebooting before the apps appeared and when the iPhone was back to the lock screen, I unlocked only to be prompted with the Apple ID passwords for those two accounts that aren't mine.
