Ghost update: how to delete it?

Hi. In my AppStore window I see an update for an app (Fantastic 4 In A Row) I don't have and never wanted.
How can I get rid of it? I'm tired of being notified for an update which actually does not apply (BTW, if I try to download it, an error message is shown, quite obviously).

You either haven't understood my question or just don't want to answer (about How to delete unwanted updates, whether they are for pirated apps or useless things whatsoever).
Why would I waste my time here (I run a very successful business in Mexico) if I had a shortcut solution to your issue but was refusing to give it to you. That would be stupid.
The reason there is no cheap, fast & dirty, conventional solution is because this is not a conventional problem. You did not download this app from the MAS. You don't have the actual app that is calling for the update. You have that app's MAS receipt hidden inside the app bundle of a pirated app that you installed. Because of that this app does not appear in your Purchased list. If it did, the solution would as easy as hiding the purchase and that would stop the notice of update.
This is not an app that you downloaded a long time ago, unless you have had this issue a long time. If this recently appears, then it is likely due to an app you installed recently.
You have been given the only solution. I am the resident expert on the issue, no one else will have anything else to offer.
Ciao

  • App updates how to delete notifications

    I am a Microsoft semi pro and have just become an apple iPad novice, so lots of questions....first I have downloaded a few apps and I am receiving update notifications for them. If I don't want to update I cannot delete the notification. I do not want to keep these in my apps update folder as I can see a red alert 1 circle on home screen. I am far too tidy to want that to stay. Please help

    No you cannot delete the update notifications unless you delete the app. If you do not want to delete the app, you can move the App Store icon to another screen so that you don't see the notifications. But that may not be such a good idea because then you will have to check for notification for the apps that you do want to update.
    In order to move an app - tap and hold down on the icon until it wiggles, then drag the app to the side of the screen and hold it about halfway over to the next screen for a second or two - and the app will jump to the next screen. Tap the home button when you are done.

    If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done.  Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

  • How to delete multiple photos from updated iPhoto

    How to delete multiple photos from the updated iPhoto

    1 - there is no updated iPhoto - iPhoto is still on your computer and version 9.6.1 is probably the last version - there are no updates planned to iPhoto
    2 - Photos is a new photo management program built into OS X 10.10.3
    3 - Assuming you are talking about Photos  select the photos and press delete - they then go to the recently deleted photos album (show recently deleted under th file menu) where they sit for 30 days and then are automatically deleted unless you manually delete them first

    Hi bunjamin,
    just go to BlackBerry World, and update all your apps including BBM.

    you can turn off the magnifying glass :
    device settings >> accessibility >> magnify mode >> OFF
    you can deactivate the "reset to Hub view" :
    hub >> overflow (bottom right button) >> Settings >> Display and actions >> Return to Default View When Idle >> OFF

  • HT1766 all my contacts have been deleted from an update. how can i get these restored?

    all my contacts have been deleted from an update. how can i get these restored?

    The iphone is designed to be synced to your computer regularly.  Your contacts will be in whatever program ( outlook, address book, etc) that you have been synxing.  Sync them back.
    If you have failed to sync them, then they are likely gone.  You can try restoring from backup.

    By "sending" do you mean sending email?
    If so, what app are you using to take the photos on your iPhone 5? Or are the photos from a different source (saved to your Camera Roll from somewhere else, like a web page or Messages)?
    My guess is that Mail gives you the option to send different file sizes when it detects you are trying to Mail a really large photo file. The size of photos on the iPhone 5 is really big and some email providers may stop your mail from being delivered if attachments are too large. Thus, Mail tries to help you by offering to resize the photo.
    I suspect that if you are sending smaller files, Mail does not bother giving you options to save a smaller version. In fact, I have seen this behavior. So, if the photo is already "small enough", it gets sent as-is.
    To my  knowledge, there is no global iOS setting for this. Some apps may have different rules, of course.

  • I received a message to update plug-ins so tried following directions, only to find out my computer is not compatible with the update. How to delete ?

    I have an older iMac operating on Mac OSx 10.4. When I attempted to down-load some plug-in updates, they would not accept it because my computer is to old and doesn't have the necessary capability. When I try to remove the message, nothing works, and every time I boot the computer with Firefox, it keeps reloading. Please tell me how to delete this plug-in reminder. Thank you.

    You can inspect and modify some prefs on the about:config page to suppress the plugin reminder.
    *set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_missing_plugin pref to true
    *set the plugins.hide_infobar_for_outdated_plugin pref to true
    *set the plugins.update.url pref to an empty string
