Can't remove deleted iPhone apps from Mac

I haven't been able to find the specific answer to this one.
After removing an app from my iPhone 4S, I also try to remove it from iTunes on my Macbook Pro (Mavericks 10.9).
For example, if trying to remove my "CBS" app (see image below)
Steps to reproduce: Connect phone to Mac > Open iTunes on Mac > iPhone > Apps
I have the option to "Install" it again, but no option remove or uninstall it completely. The "Remove" button only seems to apply to apps I have kept on my iPhone and do not want to remove e.g. the Fandango, Flixster, HBO GO apps.
How can I completely remove/uninstall the CBS app from the list of options? It didn't work well and I no longer intend to use it.
Thanks

For programs that do not require an Administrator's password to install on your Mac, drag its program icon to the Trash. For those that require a password, research its developer's website or other support options for specific uninstallation instructions.
Never use all-purpose "cleaners" or "zappers" or similarly named clever utilities to uninstall anything.

TS1702 How do I remove/delete an app from my iPad mini that I no longer need?

Can someone advise please? How can I delete/remove an unwanted app from my iPad mini? Thanks!

Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the top left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

How can i completely delete message app from my mac?

how can i completely delete the message app from my mac?

As per email.
Hi,
In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
Navigate to the Preferences folder.
Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
On the iPhone.
Go to Settings > Messages and check the app is ON first.
Then check the Send and Receive Section.
This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
(I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
Please stick to one method of asking me (The thread will do for now.)
I am here 3 hours every evening.
I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that. (The Status Message one will not)
You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font is the answer.

Can't install a certain app from mac app store

I just purchased an app from the Mac AppStore ("MockSMTP").
After the purchase the following error message popped up.
Launchpad looks like this:
But I couln't download again because the app store claims that it is already installed.
Then I deleted some app store relevant files in ~/Library/Caches Preferences Cookies, and the started download in /Applications.
After a relogin of my mac user, I could download it again with the same error message.
So what is wrong here?? Did anybody had the same behavior ?
thanks in advance...

Thx for this, but it didn't help....BUT surprisingly it works since today !!!!
haha, the AppStore has healed itself, took me about 4 days....

Try repairing permissions...
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk Permissions
It can take from ten to fifteen minutes to run.
You should see: Repair Permissions Complete when it's finished.
Then restart your Mac.
See if that makes a difference...

Is there a way to permanetly delete an app from Mac App Store Purchases, (not just hide it)?

The latest Apple update allows you to hide purchases in iTunes and Mac App Store. But to no avail am I able to find a way to permanetly delete Mac App Store Apps from the my account purchases.

hiding a purchase doesnt do the job because it makes it harder to orgenzie your apps when u want to download all apps to your computer you get the hidden ones too
and you ask your self why why whhhhhhhhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy
and again u fined your self spending too much time delleting unwanted apps because you dont want your itunes to b a mass
if theres is a way to avoid downloading hidden app and i missed it im sorry apple
and please tell me how

How can i completely delete an app from my "app purchased" account

my son purchased an app which we want to completely delete from "apps purchased" file,
can delete it fr the home screen but, its still "on" the apps purchased (but not on this device option)
any ideas please

You can't. The Purchased List is not user modifiable since its what Apple uses to know what Apps you can re-download without having to pay for them again.
You can however Hide the App so it does not appear on the List.
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases
You need to to this From iTunes on a computer.

Is there any way I can recover a deleted Iphone backup from my current Iphone icloud backup

No you cannot recover what you delete from iCloud. Sorry about that.

Can't remove MobileMe/iCloud account from Mac Mail

I don't use my MobileMe email address for email, so I have it forwarded to my Gmail address that I do check. Previously, any alerts that went to that account (reminders that I set in iCal, which I sync to my Google Calendar, and alerts when I use Find My Phone or Find My iPad) were routed to the Gmail address, because that's where I was forwarding the .Me email.
However, ever since transitioning over to iCloud, those alerts are popping up in Mail, which I don't use. I've gone into Mac Mail and deleted the iCloud account, but as soon as there's a new message the account gets created again and Mail opens up and displays the alert as an email message. The messages are not forwarded to my Gmail account, despite it showing in preferences in iCloud > Mail that I have the "forward mail" box checked and the correct Gmail address still in there.
Any ideas on this? I need to receive these alerts but I don't use my Mobile Me email address for anything else and I don't want to have to log into my computer to open Mail and see if I got an alert.

Typically, right after I posted this, I managed to do it!!
For the benefit of anyone else: rather than choosing Yahoo from the menu, I clicked 'Add Another Account' (thinking I could manually add the IMAP settings|) and it worked...didn't even need to input them myself...

Why can't I delete unwanted apps from 4.2.1? The icons shake but the little x's are gone!

This just happened! I wanted to get rid of an app - as I've done for the past two years - by holding down the app until it shakes... But the little x's in the top left corner have vanished! Is this some sort of update? How do I delete apps on the iPod now? Thanks

You're welcome, you are going to need these settings the next couple of years, I set it up for my 12 year old, to prevent app installation or removal on his iPod

I can't remove third party apps from my macbook pro.

I have installed some third party apps and now want to delete them. The apps are: MorphVOX, YTD, and Paintbrush. I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do. Please help me. I have macbook pro OS X 10.9.4

I have tried to drag and drop but unable to do.
What happens when you try? Have you tried holding down the Command(⌘) key and then drag to the Trash bin in the Dock?
Do the apps have an uninstaller that came with the app? Many do. Check the website for them to see if one is offered.
Do not try to use CleanMyMac, MacKeeper or any of those types of apps to do the trick. They will damage your system.
