Disable updates of deleted apps
How do I disable updates on deleted, inappropriate apps (17+) downloaded by my kid? He deleted them but they come back in updates. I understand they can't come off history but how can we get rid of them for good?
I was under the impression that ALL the apps you have acquired will show up in the Purchased list on the iPad's App Store, free or not. Just checked in the iPad and all 602 apps I have entitlement to, all free but one, show up there. Most are not on the device and a few I have not used in ages. This is the same list that appears on a computer's iTunes program, when logged into the corresponding AppleID and in the Library / Apps / All pane. Might need to do a Show Sidebar in the View menu if the Library item is not immediately visible
Beware, however, that items on that list can be hidden so a crafty kid may use the feature to keep the parents in the dark. Hiding can only be currently done via iTunes on a computer, not on the iPad. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

ITunes keeps offering updates for deleted Apps
I have a problem with App Updates in iTunes. There are 6 applications, which I tried, but then uninstalled and removed from iPhone and iTunes library. Still iTunes shows me that I have 6 updates available and when I look at them they all are for the applications I have uninstalled and don't care anymore. How do I stop it from showing updates for deleted Apps?
Thank you!
KonstantinDoes anyone have an answer for this, as I am having the same issue. The apps are not on my phone or in my itunes account, but when i check my available updates, two updates for apps I no longer have automatically start downloading. It has done this for a few weeks. I have tried allowing the updates to download and then re-remove the apps, but then the same thing will happen with the same 2 updates the next day.

I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year. Its not a pirated copy or anything. I deleted the app cause I never used it. After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app. When I click update, it just re-downloads the app. Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it. I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely. How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks
Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

After the update I decided to clean up my launchpad a bit. I deleted some app store apps as well as some non app store apps. After clicking and dragging an app to place on a new page the recently deleted apps (both app store and non app store) would return but they could not be deleted from the launchpad directly even after reinitiating the wiggly delete icons. I had to go to finder and locate them and manually delete from there. At that point they are gone as far as I can tell.
Just want to see if this is me or maybe this should be brought to their attention.Hi there.
I've had a similar problem. I found 'killing' the Dock with the Terminal command 'killall Dock' seems to work.

Ok, new to this, sorry for long title, thought I was in text/message part. I have two iPhones, and iPad, and a MacBook Pro. Invoking messaging and receiving on two iPhones and an iPad was cute in the beginning but now it's beyond useful. i've solved the problem on iPhones just by turning off messaging, but find nothing in settings to turn off messaging on the MacBook Pro. I'm assuming that turning off messaging on my phones reverts to SMS tho' not sure what Apple uses if not SMS.
I do not want iPhone messages being received on my MacBook Pro. How do I de-authorize, can't seem to find anything in settings and don't want to delete MESSAGE.APP as who knows if I want it in future.
Thanks in advance. All deviced up to date with software, and am using Mt. Lion on MacBook.HI,
The iOS Messages app send either iMessages or SMS depending on the receiver.
If it is Off then you can't send SMS either.
Turn Messages back On in the iPhone.
Go to Setting > Messages > Send and Receive and delete the Apple ID (And any other email) you listed for iMessages
You will get a warning alert that the ID will be deleted across all devices (and it included Messages on the Mac)
The Messages app on the Mac can have iMessages turned Off.
Two ways to do this.
Simplest is to go to Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts and Untick the Enable this Account Box.
The second is to use the Sign Out Button (in OS X 10.8.2 which has updated Messages to version 7.0.1)
The Second logs you out and removes the Apple ID from the iMessages Account settings.

Deleted apps appear inside update
Upon iOS 4.3.3 , once deleted apps continuous to appear inside the "purchased" section inside Updates, those deleted apps are coming from my iPhone 4 as well as other devices that utilizing the same iTunes. How to get rid of them permanently?
Deleting them doesn't mean you didn't purchase them. Look on the bright side - if you change your mind, you can get them back.
Thanks for that.
(Why do so many people fear others finding out what apps they have downloaded? I suppose I shouldn't ask.)
I just don't know why I'm so afraid of that, but I believe that those people similar to you wouldn't fear about that. I suppose I shouldn't talk. -

When I try to update or install apps on my iphone 3gs, it tells me my apple id is disabled, but when I log in on my pc it lets me. Any ideas what to do?
Try signing out, then back in on your phone: Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in. If that doesn't work, reset your password here: https://iforgot.apple.com.

How do I delete and Apple ID ? I had a friend transfer all my stuff from one phone to another using his computer. I can't update or download apps, his ID pops up and asks for his password instead of mine! Ugh so frustrated right now!
You can't delete an Apple ID. Furthermore, everything you transferred is tied permanently to your friend's Apple ID. You do not legally own that software. If you want that software for yourself, then you need to purchase it using your Apple ID.

I keep getting updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update it starts the process but then a message pops up that says the download cannot be done at this time. I have had to delete a few apps because of this. I have also signed out and signed back into my account and turned my phone on and off and still does the same thing. Help!
Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

Hi everyone!
I tried to update a few apps from my iPhone, and to install new applications from APPSTORE. But i got a message :" Your Apple ID has been disabled"!!!!!!
What can i do now? Can you help me please?
The same thing happend with my IPAD....
How can i do to function all this in the same way which was working till this problem appears.
I want to mention that i have 2 email adresses asociated with the same Apple ID.
wait for an feedback!
Thanks a lot!Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone/iPad then try logging out of your account on the phone/iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it -
How can I delete apps from the app store? There seems to be every app I have ever downloaded and deleted since I got my phone in 2007. When I go to app store and select update apps there's a menu at the top that says purchased and when I select it it shows every app I've ever had! I would like to delete the history please.
Many thanksYou cannot.
The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases. -
I cannot update the iOS because of lack of memory (3.5 GB required). The apps cannot be deleted because I cannot get them red x in memory management or when they shake for reorganization. I heard this was a bug in the last update of the op. system. So what is the process?
From where did you hear this..?

DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions...

Issue with recent iPhoto/Photo app syncing-updating and deleting issues.
I had sync my mom's iPad to her iPhoto library only to find that I cannot delete photos from her iPad without first sync-ing up to her Mac and deleting photos from iPhoto, first, then re-sync her iPad to delete the photos from her iPad. Her Mac is running 10.5.8 with iPhoto 9 (8.1.2)
Why can't I delete her photos directly from my iPad?
I can delete images/photos if I just send them over email and save them to her iPad photo app without using iPhoto, but it's a long inconvenient process.
Second, I made a slew of edits to her photos after initially sync-ing them to her iPad. The iPhoto makes the updates, but when I re-sync her iPad, the iPad is not transfering or updating its photo app database to reflect the changes I made to her images in iPhoto.
What Gives?
I am going to have her download an image editing app for her iPad eventually, but for right now we are using iPhoto.
Why isn't the iPad accepting the updated data from the edits I make in iPhoto?
Message was edited by: MichelPMI'm trying to find out the same thing and have been for quite some time. Just updated to Maverick and now I can't even get in to iPhoto! Aggrivated!!

How do I get deleted apps off my phone permanently. I deleted it but when I go to application icon then update and hit purchase I still see the apps I deleted with a cloud and a downward arrow. Is there a way to get that off your phone.
they are deleted permanently off your phone
but they will forever be tied to your appleID so you can redownload them for free there is no way around that but they are not taking up storage or anything when they live in purchase
