Deleting apps from iTunes Library and IOS Devices at once.

Hi there,
I tend to delete all unneeded apps from iTunes library on my Mac, because when I delete them from there, it just take one syncing session to deleted them from all my other devices. But recently I noticed that this way is no longer helpful, now I have to delete each app on my iPhone, iPad and Mac manually. So if anyone can help me to make iTunes recur to the previous pehevior, please replay ASAP.
Thanks.

I have the same problem! I recently decided to clean up my devices. The first thing that came to my mind was to delete an App from iTunes, sync and get rid of it on all other devices. I was surprised that it stays on iDevices evem after you delete it from iTunes. I don't want it this way. DOes anyone know of a trick that can allow me delete an app just once?
Before if you delete an App from iTunes and try to Sync an iPhone or an iPad with it, you would see a window telling you that there are items on your iphone that are not present in iTunes - do you want to copy them? Now it just "syncs" and leaves the Apps untouched. What kind of synchronization is this?

  • How do I permanently delete music from iTunes library and iPhone?

    I had some old music I didn't like anymore so I went to delete it but it still shows up in my iTunes library and my phone. I plug in my phone to my laptop and in iTunes, all of the apparently deleted songs are gray text instead of black and they all have a gray, dotted circle next to it and this is really bothering me because all I see is clutter. Same goes for my phone. When "Show All Music" is turned off, I don't see any of the deleted songs which is what I want but when it's turned on, they come back with the iCloud symbol next to it and I don't like that at all. I want ALL of my songs to be PERMANENTLY DELETED meaning that if "Show All Music" is turned on or off, I don't want to see the music in my phone or in my iTunes library.

    Hi Jessica,
    I found an article how you could do that on iTunes: iTunes Store: How to delete songs from iCloud - Apple Support and another blog post on this issue: http://ios.wonderhowto.com/how-to/delete-phantom-icloud-songs-your-iphone-015457 5/
    Give it a try.

  • How to transmit apps from itunes to an iOS device?

    Hey
    I normally download my Apps directly with my iPad, but I also want to have my Apps in iTunes.
    But how do I send the Apps from iTunes to my iPad?
    I sync my Ipad manually and when I want to send music to the iPad I just have to choose an album, hold on pressing the left mouse-button and move the album to the iPad.
    But I can't do it like this with Apps - so what do I have to do?
    What would happen wehen I choose "sync Apps"? Will the Apps be deleted on the iPad and replaced by the Apps form iTunes?
    In this case all documents, some licenses and my scores would be deleted?!
    Sorry, but there is no German Support Community yet but I tried to write it understandable.
    Thank you for answering

    Don't try to do it manually, but let iTunes sync them.
    Connect your iPad to iTunes. Right-click on its name under Devices, then select Transfer Purchases... TThat will make sure all tthe apps you have on the iPad are also in iTunes for futurte syncing, management and as a backup. Select whick apps you want on the iPad and then Sync.
    App data, such as so,me documents, scores, settings, etc, are part of the backup/sync with iTunes and should not be lost.
    Photos, Contacts, Calendars, etc, are not part of the backup, as the aassumption is that you keep them on the computer and only sync updated info.

  • How do I delete apps from itunes history and stopping autodownload to laptop?

    I've seen this discussion thread a million times over on the apple support forum. I want ot delete a game I downloaded for free on my ipad that are over a GB each in size. All I can do is hide them on my itunes account on the computer, but they keep on autodownloading each time I start itunes.
    I have unticked the automatic downloads boxes for music apps and books under preferences->store in itunes but they keep on downloading each time I start itunes. I DON'T WANT THEM APPLE! Just cos I made the mistake once to download them and then changed my mind, you're going to keep insisting I have them?! I have a limit on my broadband usage so don't want to download 5GB each time I open itunes thanks.
    Ridiculous....

  • Delete file from iTunes Library and Computer

    I convert a lot of my own TV shows for playback on iPad/iPod touch. Once I have watched the show I delete it from my library.
    It used to be that when I deleted from my library, I would get a message asking if I wanted to delete from library only or from library AND computer. It does not ask me this anymore.
    I went into preferences and clicked on "reset all warnings" but that didn't fix the problem. Any tips on how to restore this functionality?

    What I mean is I don't want an extra copy of the file made when I add something to my library. I already have the file where I want it.
    I did try your suggestion, and just as I suspected, it made an extra copy in a different location on my computer, then when I deleted it, yes, it asked me if I wanted to move it to the recycle bin, but it only deleted the copy, not the original.
    I'm marking your response as helpful, as I can use it as a workaround if I can't find a better solution, but I have never done it this way before. I've always had full control over which folders my shows were in, and only one copy. And when I've deleted, it has deleted the original file, not just a copy of it.

  • Deleting podcasts from iTunes library AND iPod?!? HELP.

    I have 61 podcasts on my iPod and in my iTunes library.
    I didn't want them anymore, so I unsubscribed and deleted the podcasts from iTunes.
    I synced to my iPod, assuming that the files would be automatically removed.
    But they weren't.
    I've tried checking and unchecking "Sync only checked songs and videos" on the iPod device page.
    I've tried checking "Sync all episodes of:.." and then not checking any podcasts.
    It's not worked so far. My iTunes is up to date and everything..my iPod charged..
    Im wondering HOW do you delete podcasts - or any other music, videos...etc - from your iPod and iTunes?
    Please help! Reply soon, I'm in desperate need.
    Thanks.

    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    It appears that the mess resulted in the iPod seeing the computer/iTunes library as a new computer/iTunes library. If you sync to a new computer your iPod gets erased and the media in the iTunes library ends up on the iPod.

  • Deleting songs from itunes Library and syncing

    I have loaded up my nano with most of my personal cd's and some purchased songs. I'd like to delete most of the songs off of the itunes library (sorta seems like double kill since they are on my nano and computer)...I really only need them in one spot and I could use the space on my computer. My question is when I do another CD or a purchased song and re-synch my ipod nano, will I lose everything that I have put on my nano and just get the new songs? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    And I will second that. Storing music on your iPod and nowhere else is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.
    At the very least back up your music to either cd or dvd before deleting it, particularly any purchased music/videos, as this would have to be bought again if it were lost. See this about backing up media.

  • DELETING MUSIC FROM ITUNES LIBRARY AND COMPUTER

    I USED TO DELETE SONGS AND IT WOULD ASK ME IF I WANTED TO KEEP THE FILE OR MOVE TO TRASH, NOW IT DOESNT ASK ME THAT. WHEN I TRY TO DELETE IT JUST TELLS ME IF I DELETE IT WILL BE REMOVED FROM ALL IPODS, ETC. AND IF I DELETE IT IT DOESNT SHOW UP IN MY TRASHCAN. HOW CAN I MAKE THIS OPTION COME BACK OR HOW CAN I DELETE SONGS PERMANENTLY WITHOUT HAVING TO OPEN THE FILE AND DRAG IT TO TRASH

    I figured it out. The music files must be in the correct iTunes Media folder (shown in Preferences/Advanced). If they aren't, you can play the tunes, but not move them to the trash.

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:

  • Deleting a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0

    how do i delete a song from iTunes library and hard drive on Itunes 11.0 at the same time.

    Hello CleveCo, Inc
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    At some point in time, you may have selected the option to prevent that dialog from appearing again when trying to delete tracks from your library. To reset all of iTunes warning dialogs, click the Edit drop down menu and choose Preferences from the list (on a Mac it is *iTunes -> Preferences* ). When the window pops up, head over to the Advanced tab and click the *Reset Warnings* button. Then quit iTunes and relaunch it. That do the trick for you?

  • Deleting Songs From iTunes Library...and Keeping Them On Your iPod

    Will this process allow me to delete songs from my iTunes library, but keep them on my iPod?
    1. When iPod is plugged in, check "Only Sync Checked Items" in iTunes
    2. Delete items from iTunes library.
    3. Add new items to iTunes library.
    4. Sync iPod.
    It should keep the songs I deleted from iTunes on my iPod, right?
    If you need me to be any clearer, please ask.
    EDIT: If this will not work, is there another way to do this? The songs I have are taking up a lot of room on my computer.

    Any auto sync method you use will delete the songs from the iPod if you delete them from iTunes.
    You can delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the songs manually.
    However, this is an extremely risky option because when (and not if) there comes a time to restore your iPod, which is a very common fix for iPod problems, then all the music would be erased. If you no longer have the music in iTunes (or any other back up), then all that music would be lost.

  • Can i delete an album from itunes library and have it remain in my account

    Can I delete albums from my library and have them remain in my account?

    Hi northcoast211,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you have an album in your iTunes library that you would like to delete but you are curious if it would remain on your account. If the album was purchased from iTunes, as long as the content is still available in the iTunes Store, you can re-download that content at no cost. Please use the attached article for more information.

    Currently, iMatch is turned off on my computer, as I do not want to upload any more songs. If I turn it on, will it upload all songs that are currently in my library? Is there another way that deleting them one by one?
    You must enable iTunes Match on the new computer. The best way to accomplish what you want to do is to create a new, empty library by launching iTunes while holding down the Option key (Shift on Windows) and choosing "new library." Do not let iTunes scan for new content, but do enable iTunes Match on the empty library. Once the scan is finished you may delete tracks from the cloud. When you are done switch back to the main iTunes library.

    Instead of removing the music from the cloud or the iTunes library why not shuffle your music using a Smart Playlist which excludes the holiday music, or tracks that are not checked. For example, use this very simple Smart Playlist:
