How do i remove an app from the cloud so that I can install it fresh again?

Your apps are not stored in your icloud account. You should be able to delete the app from the device using the wiggling icons and tap the X process and then downloading directly to device from the itunes store wirelessly. Don't do it via iTunes on your computer where a copy of the app is stored.

How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

How do I remove an app from the cloud

Hi Shawn,
Since posting I too have seen all the discussion.
I have found a way to get around my problem.
The problem is that my 11 year old daughter has one of our old 3GS's as her first phone ready for going to her new school. She shares my iTunes account and can therefore see my purchased history on her iPhone. To stop her seeing any Apps in the cloud or films using home share which are not suitable for her 11 years I have enabled restriction on her phone and set the age limit. This works well as all the adult rated Apps, mainly games, do not show up in the purchase history on her phone.
Regards
Paul

I just got a wireless printer and we followed the directions on how to hook it up to the iPad. Somehow it seems as if we hooed it up to the wrong printer. How do we disconnect this printer from the iPad so that we can connect the correct printer?

I just got a wireless printer and we followed the directions on how to hook it up to the iPad. Somehow it seems as if we hooked it up to the wrong printer. How do we disconnect this printer from the iPad so that we can connect the correct printer?

AirPrint finds any air print enabled printers on your wifi network, and won't find any printers that are not. So if you print from, say, safari, and it finds that printer, then that is your printer. It may have a different name than you were expecting.
Turn the printer off, and see if the print job still sees the printer. That will confirm that the one it sees is yours.
What happens when you send the print job?
If you are sharing a wifi network with others, and one of them has a AirPrint printer on the network, you will see that one. There is not way to have it forget one, so you will need to know your printer from the other printer, and select the right one.

How to I remove an app from the App Store I don't want to update?

Here's my problem: There's Angry Bird on my Mac App store and I keep being prompted to update the App from the Mac App store. Except another account was used(not mine) to buy the game($5) from the Mac App store. So every time I'm prompted to update it to get rid of the notification, it asks me to put in the password of that other account. But the thing is it's not even installed on my Mac, it just tells me I have an update for it. I don't want to pay $5 just to remove it. How do I remove Angry Birds' update if it's from another account?

I have an app on my phone that has a glitch.i want to get rid of the app so that i can re install it,but when i re istall,it comes from the cloud and still has the glitch. how do i remove an app from my cloud

I have an app that i want to get out of my cloud,can i do this ????? It has a glitch and wont work and when i come to re install, it comes from my cloud along with the glitch. Can anyone help ?

When you tap the iCloud download symbol it's downloading a fresh copy of the app from the App Store, not from your iCloud account. (Your previous purchases aren't stored in your iCloud account, they are stored in the App store and can be redownloaded from there.)
If the app still has a glitch, try contacting the app developer. Perhaps there's a problem with the app running with iOS 7.1.

How do I move an App from the cloud to my iPad?

I downloaded an App (Houston Chronicle for iPad) and somehow I placed it on the Cloud instead of on my iPad. How do I move the App to my iPad?

BTW, your apps remain in the "cloud" regardless of if you think you "moved" them. You cannot delete them from the cloud. They will remain there until:
1. Apple removes it from the App Store for some reason
2. The developer chooses to have it removed from the App Store for some reason

How do I remove an app from the Accessibility tab of Privacy & Security?

I have a few apps listed in the accessibility section of the Privacy and Security system preference pane.
Below you can see there is an app called "update." I'd like to remove it (and one other higher up on the list), and for the life of me I can't figure out how do to it through OS X's GUI. Perhaps the only way is to nuke some plist I'm unaware of.

Shortly after posting this, I stumbled upon this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23717569#23717569
In particular the post from "Alderete" was what worked for me, not the post that was selected as the solution.

How to move/remove Apple apps from the Appliactions folder?

Hello,
I had recently updated to Lion and now I'm unable to move any applications installed by Lion (eg. iTunes, Launchpad even chess etc..) in the Applications or utilities folders to any other folder. I receive an error:
" "x.app" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X"
Before Lion I used to organize my apps into to different folders, for example I had different folders for things like Games, System, Office, Multimedia software. And I only kept a few apps in the applications folder itself. I can now only do that with third-party apps now. And both my App and Utilities folders are cluttered with applications which I seldom or never use.
Thanks, for any assistance.

In order for any of the Apple software to be properly upgraded or updated it must remain in the HD/Applications folder.
If you move them around or hide them in other folders you're just asking for trouble.

How do I delete old apps from the cloud that I have downloaded

I have many old apps that I have deleted from my iPhone and iTunes but are still in the cloud.
I no longer need these apps and would like to have them completely deleted.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
many thanks.

Hi DouglasNelson,
I don't know with which system you're working.
My iTunes 12.1.1.4 is working on Windows 7.
I hover over movies and TV-shows in the purchase list, there is always a grey X in a circle on the left corner above to remove it for ever.
I hover over the deleted apps in the "not on your iPhone" and there's no grey X in a circle in the left corner above.
So I decide to just click there where the grey X in a circle in the left corner above should be and
it disappeared.
No unwanted Apps anymore. No Hiding. A w a y.
Cheers
Mark

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

Heh, that can become a nuisance. Don't know how many you've accrued in your years of iGadget enjoyment, but I've managed to accumulate nearly 600, all free So yeah, the list can get lengthy
I'm afraid to count . I don't spend a lot time worry about it, but have on occassion gone in and hidden a few items. A handful of apps I know I never want to see again, plus some free music tracks that didn't pan out and some TV episodes that no longer have any value to me.
