Hide unwanted app updates

Is there any known way to hide app updates so I don't keep seeing them? I'm specifically asking because I want to hide the iOS6 app updates for my original iPad (since I can't upgrade them anyways). I thought swiping might show a "hide" option or something, but no luck.

You can hide the apps themselves but I don't know if that hides the update notifications. But if you hide the apps themselves, you might not be able to access them. I have never tried it.
You can read about hiding and unhiding purchases here.

How delete unwanted app update notices on iphone

How can I delete unwanted app update notices on iphone in "App Store"?

As far as I know, that's only possible if you don't have the app installed anymore on the phone. Let's see if Apple changed that in iOS5. If no, you can suggest this here: Apple - iPhone - Feedback

I'm beginning to believe you cannot delete unwanted app updates. Is that a correct assumption?

Am I correct in assuming you cannot delete unwanted app updates?

They should have a "More" link on each. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on it and select Ignore update from the context menu. This is all you can do.
If you erase the software from all disks, then you should not be bothered about them at all.

Droid 3 Hide unwanted app icons

Is there a way to hide the bloatware app icons on my All Apps screen for the DROID 3? I press and hold the icon and get a choice between "add to home" or "add to group." I understand that I cannot remove the app, I just want to hide the icon.

Here is another discussion I found with a similar query. - http://goo.gl/8WovL
The answer is NO. But, I wonder if things have changed since 2007?
Please add your comments, what do you think?

Delete or hide old unwanted apps in iTunes Version 12.1.1.4

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but over several years and several itouch, iphones and now an ipad I tried several free apps that I latter decided I didn't like or didn't want to pay the maintenance fee so I deleted the apps from the device but with then new iTunes I can't even figure out how to hide them.
I'm finding some updates to iTunes nice but others a huge pain in the behind can some one help me hide unwanted apps from the list in iTunes 12.1.1.4. To be honest I would prefer to delete them totally but as near as I can tell you can't. Can someone please help me hide them, do I don't hit the little cloud icon on an app in the app store, and re-install the app I don't want.

You are welcome. Can you select iTunes in the Music Folder and take a screen shot of it? Use the Camera icon to post the screen shot in a reply.

Hello Orionquest70
Check out the troubleshooting article below for issues with access to the iTunes Store. Also there was a small amount of outage accessing the iTunes Store this past Wednesday.

Captfred,
Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately no hide option is available by right clicking the Motion 5.0..4. update.
Seems strange that this does not appear to have been included, unless I'm missing something.

Latest Firefox update breaches security be installing unwanted app.

Firefox just updated itself on my PC. It then commanded me to install the Adobe Flash player update. Which is fine but the Adobe update also installed a McAfee app. I immediately deleted (uninstalled) the unwanted app after Adobe released my machine.
I believe this to be a security breach on the part of Adobe. What do you think?

Nonsense!
This puts the burden on the user not the vendor. It is up to Mozilla to police its plug in suppliers who participate with an update to play by the rules: install only the stated plugin with no 6 point checkboxes to deselect other garbage.
If the vendors do not regulate themselves, users will simply not update but stick with what they have.
Adobe is at fault here, but Mozilla played along. I have heard nothing from Adobe on the issue.

How do I remove or at least "hide" purchased apps from my iPad. With the help of Apple support by phone, I "hid" unwanted purchased apps from my Macbook Pro; when I returned to the iPad all unwanted purchases were still there?

How do I remove or at least "hide" unwanted purchased apps from my Ipad? Posed the question to Apple senior support this evening and we went to the Itunes store and removed all the unwanted icons from the collection of hundreds, one by one. Cleaned up the Mac Pro nicely, leaving about 10 apps I wanted to keep. Went back to the Ipad and they were all still there. Senior support hasn't gotten back to me yet. Any ideas? Thanks. kjbarnett

Since hiding them on your Mac (you did it via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the store homepage ?) have you tried logging out and back into your account on your iPad ? I haven't tried it on the IOS 7.1.1, but with iOS 7 there was (or maybe still is) a 'feature' that meant that after hiding them you then needed to log out and back in on each iOS device for them to become hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it - tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and log out and then log back in.

How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

How can I hide or delete updates from the App Store I am not interested in using?

This works for apps you've acquired, but does not work for built-in features. I am regularly nagged to update Digital Camera RAW Compatibility (currently I'm being nagged about Update 6.03). I've tried the method described above - the steps are available, but they appear to have no effect. I think this is perhaps because RAW compatibility is an element of OSX rather than a separate app. I don't use RAW format with cameras, and have no need for this feature. Even if I did, I have none of the 13 camera models listed in this update.
It is just a nuisance, but if anyone knows how to suppress this I would appreciate instructions.
I would also be curious if anyone can explain why on earth Apple would incorporate RAW camera format compatibility into the core of its operating system. It shakes my confidence in their operating system design.

TS1702 How do I hide purchased apps with iOS 6? With iOS 5 you can swipe the unwanted app to hide it, but this doesn't work with iOS 6.

How can I hide an app from the list of purchased apps using iOS6? With iOS 5 you can swipe the icon to display a red Hide icon, but this doesn't work with iOS 6. Suggestions (that work) will be appreciated.

Yes. On a computer. Not ios6.
On iTunes on your computer under purchased, select the x on the top corner. That will hide them.

How to remove update notification for an unwanted app?

Hi, recently, I got a notification to update an app I never purchased ("Nyan Cat: Lost In Space"). I checked with Apple support services, I searched that app on my hard drive and in my iTunes and App Store history, it doesn't appear anywhere. But it's still standing here in the App Store app update section, with a red badge on the icon, inviting me to update this app that has never installed on any of my drives. It's really annoying, is there something I can do to get rid of that crap?

Thanks for your help Dah•veed. I thought that'd be easier to solve but I'll go to an Apple Store.

I need to hide apps that were purchased in my App Store. Apple.com says you can swipe over the unwanted app and hide purchase. I'm not able to do this on my ipad 2 with OS 6. Has anyone found a workaround? ,use do from ipad or iPhone... I don't have pc access. Thank you!

You can't currently do it directly on devices that are running iOS 6, you will need to do it via your computer'siTunes

The feature no longer works in iOS 6 so you must not have updated your other devices yet.
