How to keep apps for later and not have iTunes prompt for an update?

can I get iTunes to stop offering me an update for an app I have unchecked for now but am not ready to delete permanently? I have some I bought that, for now I don't wish to use. Some are organizational apps, and I bought them to see if they would work for me. So far, I am still not clear which one works best for me so I want to keep it in my itunes library, to try later, when I have more time. I have unchecked it on my iphone and ipad and for when I sync, but when I check updates, they are always listed in the update list. With them there, I cannot check, update all, and have to type in my password for each individual download, which as we all know, on an iphone, if you have a good password to keep your itunes account from being hacked, can be a pain to type repeadly. But basically, I want to know if I can avoid being prompted to download and update for an app that I which to 'keep on the shelf' for now, since I believe that if I delete it from itunes permanantly, I would have to buy it again, should I want to try it out again.
I appreciate any help you can give me. I did do a search for my question but only found how to permanately delte apps in itunes. If there is a clear answer in a thread, I'd be happy to know what it is.
Thank you,
Michelle

As with your iPod when connected to iTunes, the iPhone has various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Your iPod and your iPhone can have different sync preferences.
If you don't want to transfer any music to your iPhone, don't select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If you don't want to sync any video to your iPhone, don't select sync Movies and TV Shows under your iPhone sync preferences.
Under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences, you will select Sync Applications with the following options below.
All Applications to transfer all available applications to your iPhone, or choose Selected Applications followed by selecting the applications in the window below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.

"There was a problem downloading app. You do not have access privileges for this operation." ?

I am trying to download free app updates using iTunes and I receive the following error:
"There was a problem downloading NAME OF APP. You do not have access privileges for this operation."
These are just the free app updates. I have no idea why this started to happen. Any solutions?
I have the most recent version of iTunes. When I transfer purchases from my iPad and iPhone, it does copy over the apps, yet the apps still appear in the list of errors. Any solutions?

Thanks but it's still not working. Also every time I start iTunes it asks for my password. I also have my iTunes library on an external hard drive though iTunes 8 had none of these problems. Another problem I have is that the screensaver no longer sees my album artwork even though iTunes still displays it. Not sure if I should try moving my iTunes library back to my boot drive.

HT1284 How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? Thanks.

Hi. How can I backup word documents and not have them crowd my screen? I know, you guessed it. I'm a novice, but not ashamed!

Please explain what you mean when you say backup Word documents crowds your screen.
I don't see any connection between backup and your screen.

Where was the one that you moved to your desktop before you moved it to the desktop?
I really don't understand what you're trying to say. If I have a folder in A, and I move it to B, then the folder will be in B. There is no duplication. I still have only one folder, only the location is different.
Furthermore, your desktop is on your hard drive. Everything is on your hard drive.

How to keep s4 on wifi and not network

I need to know how to keep my S4 on wifi and NOT go into netwrok, wanting to be alerted or no connection if no wifi, otherwise if it goes into network, it will cause me a veryyyyyyyyyy large bill (internet usage). SO how can I get my S4 wo NOT allow me to use apps unless there is wifi available? My husband is taking this phone over and I have a new one lol

New to the world of smart phones and currently using a S5. If the S4 is the same, in addition to info in post 1:
settings /data usage /scroll down and select app /scroll down/ select "restrict background data".
I believe this restricts the apps' access to data (like the app updating itself) even when data is on. I use WiFi to update. But like I said, I'm new so no guarantee.

TS1424 How do you remove an update to an app never purchased and not in itunes

I have an update to an app I don't have on my iPad or in iTunes and can't delete it without buying it which I don't want to do. How can I delete it?

I searched both the iPad and iTunes, it is not even in the hidden apps. It is not anywhere. I asked apple and they told me they don't know that I had to make an appointment to have a tech look at it but was hoping someone here could help me.
Thanks for your response.

How can I create one playlist and not have numerous ones that duplicate songs?

How do I consolidate all my playlists into one large playlist and eliminate the extras?

Hey there Christophter,
You can start consolidate your playlists by opening the one you want to move music FROM, then dragging the music in there to the playlist you want to add TO. If there is a duplicate you will be prompted to skip them or not. Then delete the playlist:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items
Click the item to select it, and press the Delete key.
Click DeleteItem.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling

I am going to make a playlist and gift it. I have $40 on my account. how do I gift part of the $40 yhat's next to my email count at the top of the page and NOT have iTunes deduct it from my credit card?

I am going to make a playlist on iTunes. I have $40 which was gifted.to me. Now I want to gift a playlist and not use my account credit card. How do I do that. Thanks in advance.

I don't think you can pay for a gift with gifted money.
https://discussions.apple.com/message18056833 - Once a gift card is entered it will be charged for any purchases you make until it is used up. Certain things such as gift cards can not be purchased with gift cards and will get charged to the credit card.

Is there a way to enter an event time in Calendar as a reminder for me and NOT have Calendar erase it in the info as it reads it into the event start and end times?

Calendar can recognize and derive event start and end times from the text description entered. However, when it seizes on a time (start and/or end) and automatically enters it as the start and/or end time, it also (sigh) deletes the time from the text. I enter the times as reminders for me, how can one prevent them from being deleted by Calendar??

I am having the same darn problem. I really dislike this auto feature in Calendar.
Can anyone help us please?

Is there any way to ask Siri for directions and not have navigation automatically start?

Sometimes I just want to know how far and how to get to a destination without using turn by turn navigation. If i ask Siri how far a place is I get the distance in air miles not driving. So then if I ask how to get there Apple maps opens and begins turn by turn navigation. I would rather ask and then select to start if I want, this is how it works with Google Now. Has anybody figured out a way to do this? If not Apple should make it an option in settings.

Hi there,
If you are publishing to a video format ( .mp4 ) output then it is not possible to insert the interactivity like buttons, or click boxes.
If you have published the .swf, .htm or HTML 5 and if you have embedded a video inside that then that can have a button or click box on the last slide.
Please elaborate more on your requirement and also tell the version of Adobe Captivate and Operating System.
Thanks.

Where can I find a waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, dirtproof etc case for my Ipad Air very soon and not have to wait for the perfect case for months to come out from Lifeproof company???

Hello,
I just bought a new Ipad Air 128gb w/verizon coverage. I definitely need a all proof case for it like the Lifeproof case I already have for my Ipad 4 w/retina display. Unfortunately I'm hearing Lifeproof hasnt come out with the Air case yet. Can anyone help me locate a company similar that will have that sort of case pls. thanks.

I know Targus has one called Safeport with 3 levels of 'strong, stronger, strongest' but I couldn't find it specifically saying it accommodated the Air on their site. BUt it could be another brand for you to search for.
