There will be NO acknowledgement of receipt, but they will read ALL suggestions. Feedback was the cause of certain "rollbacks" between iOS 8 and 8.1. So obviously they are listening. The question is whether your concerns/suggestions are shared by both other users and/or Apple. If there is no "critical mass" Apple will probably not implement the "suggestions".
Posting suggestions here is a waste of time and violates the TOS.
And, no, I have no connections to Apple. What makes you think I do?

How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
Use -help for a list of options.
But i didn't work as I got the above error message.

I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job). What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software. (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.) The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance. I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers. When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install. We did! But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

How can I delete an app from the cloud??

how can I delete an app from the cloud, so nobody can download it again to my phone?? please I tried from the computer but it just hide the app from purchased, and still appears in the app store with the cloud on it

At the present time, you can't hide or delete an app from your purchased list on your phone. Prior to iOS 6 you could hide it; there has never been an option to delete it.

How can I delete an app from my account definetly?

How can I delete an app from my account, not just from the iPad, i want to delete some from "purchased apps", hopee you can help me

Rudegar is correct - you cannot remove the app permanently from your account. There has been much discussion about this on the ASC site and many users have concerns for many different reasons. As suggested send feedback to Apple.
But remember this - your account is a part of Apple's official and legal sales records. In the real world - you just cannot delete a record of sale - for accounting reasons and for legal reasons.

How can I delete Apple ID from my old phone that it is not with me?

How can I delete Apple ID from my old phone?

You cannot delete Apple ID. You can change the password so the Apple ID without the correct password will be useless for others.
If you still have the old iPhone:
Wipe iPhone/iPad/iPod touch clean
There are a few steps to do:
Switch off iMessage in Settings > Messages
Switch off FaceTime in Settings > FaceTime (iPod touch 4th Generation or later, iPhone 4 or later and iPad 2 or later)
Delete iCloud in Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Finally Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
If device is registered: Un-register your device: https://supportprofile.apple.com
Now you can sell/give.

Can't delete old apps from iTunes. 'Delete' greyed out

I would like to delete a number of old apps from my iTunes. However, when I go to the 'Apps' tab and highlight the app it doesn't delete. Also, when I go into 'Edit', the 'Delete' button is greyed out. I have tried logging out of my iTunes account and logging back in, switching the computer on and off and also by trying with both plugging in both my iPhone and iPad. Nothing works! I would much appreciate any ideas.
Thanks.

Hi bickyk,
Welcome to the Support Communities! The article below explains how to delete apps from your Mac, iPhone or iPad. On your Mac, you should be able to click on the app to select it, and then press Delete on your keyboard.
If for some reason you are not able to delete the app from your computer, you can hide it instead. Click on the link below for complete details. I've highlighted the key points for you.
How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5772
You can delete items that you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store from your iOS device, Mac, or PC. Because Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) plays content from the cloud, you don't need to delete items from your Apple TV.
Before you delete an item, make sure you can download it again. If you can't or need to pay to download it again, back up the item before you delete it.
After you delete an item, it might still be visible if you can download it again from iTunes in the Cloud. The Download icon will appear next to these items. You can hide items available in iCloud and purchases from the Mac App Store.
Apps
Open the section below for the device you're using.
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
The apps will begin to jiggle.
Tap the X on the app.
Mac or PC
Open iTunes.
From the Library pop-up menu, choose Apps.
Click the app you want to delete.
Press Delete on your keyboard.
Hide and unhide purchases in the Mac App Store - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4928
Hide your purchases
If you hide an item you purchased in the Mac App Store, you won't get update notifications for it, and you won't see it on your Purchases page. If you're using Family Sharing, hidden items will also be hidden from your family members.
Use these steps on OS X Mountain Lion or later:
Open the Mac App Store.
Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
Right-click the item that you want to hide and choose Hide Purchase. A prompt will ask if you're sure that you want to hide the item.
Click the Hide Purchase button. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
Use these steps on OS X Lion:
Open the Mac App Store.
Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
Locate the item that you want to hide.
Click the X to the right of that item. The item will fade. The item below it, if there is one, will replace it in the list.
I hope this information helps ....

HT201322 On iPad how can I delete an app from iTunes account

Of the years I have downloaded numerous apps on my iPad and iPhone. Now I want to remove them from my devise and iTunes. How can I do that on my iPad?

You can't currently permanently delete any item from your purchase history, you can delete an app from your iPad by pressing and holding an app, and you can select and delete them from the Apps part of your computer's iTunes so that they can't be synced back. Apart from that you can hide them as described on the page that you posted from so that they don't show in the Purchased tab for re-downloading (hiding doesn't currently work directly on devices that are on iOS 6, though it should work via a computer's iTunes)

Can i delete an app from the icloud?

Is there any possibility of deleting an app from the icloud?
I've been trying,but no success...
Please help me...
Thanks

You can hide it to stop it appearing as available for download. In iTunes click the cross at the top left corner when viewing your purchased items, on an iOS device swipe and tap hide when viewing purchased content in the app store app.

How can I delete preinstalled apps in iOS 8?

The iOS 8 terms and conditions state:
"If you do not wish to use a Preinstalled App, you can delete it from your iOS Device at any time." [1]
However, I am unable to delete the Newsstand app or other preinstalled apps from my iOS device.
Why?
[1] last sentence of section 2. (c): http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/iOS81.pdf

Thanks.
I noticed you bolded "Apple-branded apps" from the first sentence of section 2 (c).
What is the definition of "Apple-branded" in this context?
For example, "Apple Watch" is now a preinstalled app, and would seem to fit the definition of "Apple-branded", but I can't uninstall it.

Not all apps can be removed, for example Safari, iWatch, Weather,... they all come with the iOS software. Only some apps made by Apple that are available in the AppStore can be removed again, if preinstalled on your iPhone 6, for example Pages, Garageband and some others.
You can remove those and install them later again by downloading them again for free.
(c)To the extent that Apple has preinstalled Apple-branded apps from the App Store on your iOS Device at the time of purchase (“Preinstalled Apps”),

Two iPads on same account, I can't delete any apps from old ipad?

I got a new iPad air and have a first gen iPad too. They are both on the same account so when I install apps on the new iPad they automatically show up on the old iPad too. This is actually a good thing because I can have paid apps on both iPads.... The problem is that some of the apps will not install on the old iPad. If I tried to install them directly from the App Store it would not allow it and give me a msg that says I cannot run this app because of the older iOS. But since it is mirroring the new iPad, I have about 15 grayed out icons that are waiting to install. Worse yet, if I press and hold to try and delete them, I get the wiggling icons but no X on any of them... I can't delete the grayed out apps nor can I delete existing installed apps. I have tried a hard reset with no luck. The original PC that I used to manually sync the old iPad with is apart in the attic as we don't use it anymore. Any ideas?

you need to put your phone in recovery mode (search Google) and restore your device as new. All your data will be lost.

How can I delete an app on ios 7?

I click and hold on an app I want to delete like before but I can't seem to find how to delete it. The little x does not appear. Can you tell me what's wrong?

You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions...

How can I delete a app from the Mac App Store completely?

I have a apllication which had a error. I delete it and download the app from the Mac App Store again, but the error wasn't delete. My iMac had stored it and the Error wasn't deleted so I can't youse the app.
What can I do to delete the app complete?
Please answer.

If your App was faulty in some way you should write to iTunes support. If you simply want to delete it, most Apps carry uninstall (not delete) instructions.
Incidentally, I believe you cannot delete the record of your purchase from iTunes. That will always stay on your purchases list and be marked with a dark grey square as INSTALL..

How can I delete an app from my purchased history?

When I go to app store on my iPad 2, there is a purchased menu.
If I enter it, I can see the whole apps that I've purchased on my account since I registerd.
It's about 400 apps, and I want to delete some of them.
If anyone knows, pleased tell me how can I delete them.
Thank you,,,

I disagree regarding Very complecated.   Its just a database entry of for example "ShowInPurchaseHistory"=False.
The purchase history would remain. If you wanted the app back you would just do it the old fasion way of remembering the app name and redownloading it from the store.   Redownloading it would then reset the ShowInPurchaseHistory" = True, which would show it again.
Seems easy to me.   Hopefully when it is out of "beta" we will see the feature we are all looking for come to life.

How can i delete an app from my purchase history?

I have been using my iTunes account for many years now and have recently had an issue where my password was stolen by an app that I had not downloaded. I am worrying that (now that I have changed my password), there is an update for the supposed 'game' and it shows up in every update list on all my devices, that they will steal it again. I need to delete this off my purchase history because I do not want to update my other games and apps by entering my password. (you can tell it is not any normal app because it took £57.83 from my account) so I am up for suggestions of what to do...

You can only hide the the application in your account preferences via itunes store. The app shouldn'd be requesting update unless you still have it installed on your device. If so delete the app, and uncheck the app if you sync with itunes for APPS
If this supposed app took monies from your account, it would help to contact itunes support and let then know. This is community forum.
Peace
