How can I remove old applications?

I went to my system profiler and under Applications I found lots of old versions dating back years. Presumably these are taking up space. How do I remove them, just leaving the latest version that I need?
Thanks.

HI whellock,
A better way to do that is to go to: MacintoshHD/Applications. Just drag any file you wish to the Trash and empty the Trash. Just keep the most recent versions.
Also, when you post in the forums in the future, please indicate which Mac you have and which operating system. Click the Apple logo top left of your Desktop and then click, "About This Mac" .. a pane will open and the information will be displayed there. It makes for quicker responses to your posts!

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
Thanks

If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

HT203756 How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?

How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?
When I attempted, the iPhone 6+ message asked if I wanted to remove ALL of the backups... without giving me the option of selecting the specific one I wanted to remove.
I had performed 'backups' of my old iPhone, but, when I tried to RESTORE to the REPLACEMENT iPhone, at least one of the iCloud backups shows 'incomplete'. There was no 'error' on the original iPhone...when it 'failed' to complete the backup.
Now, I would like to 'clear up' the 'storage' on the iCloud, but am unable to select specific ones. I can either keep all instances or shut off iCloud Backup which would, according to the message, remove/delete ALL of the BACKUPS.
This shouldn't be this difficult.....

I too wondered how you remove apps from iCloud. Judging by the quantity of questions, comments, suggestions and replies (some rather rude) there is a clear need for Apple to make their literature a lot clearer. The page describing what iCloud backs up refers to "app data" as an item which is backed up. To the uniniated this might mean the app program but it seems not. The app is "bought" via iTunes or the App Store and details of your purchase (free or otherwise) is held there separately on the server.
It would be nice however to be able to remove the reference to junk I have downloaded and decided I don't want so that it doesn't appear on the purchased apps listing! Apple please note this.
It must be remembered that Apple products come pitifully supported by manuals "out of the box" on the assumption that it is so easy to use the product that no explanation is needed. They forget that most buyers of Apple products (me included) don't know (and don't want to know) how they work, so when something is not obvious they are required to plough through Lord knows how many web pages of "knowledge base" material until they find an answer.
All I can add is that it is worth spending time reading the multiitude of discussion threads before asking the question yet again...

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

How can I remove old devices from my iTunes-Mediathek?

That's a very general question, so here are two documents from Apple for using automatic syncing and manually managing content.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Manage content manually on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support
If your question is actually about removing content (you know how to add content), you are probably using the manual method to add content, and don't know how to manually remove content. For iTunes 12, on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top), click the Music button near the left end. Near the middle of same bar, click Playlists. The sidebar appears along left side of window and Devices, your iPod is listed. Click the small triangle to the left of the iPod's name, to drop down its content list (indented below iPod). Click Music there. To the right, the list of songs on the iPod is shown. Select the song you want to remove and press Delete on the keyboard. You can do this with one or more songs selected.
You can also use the iPod's "management" screen. Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see its Summary settings screen. In the sidebar, under On My Device, click Music. This is the same as on the "content list" described above.

How can I remove the applications form Content Administrator

I had undeployed the applications from Content Administrator in two ways:
A:
1. Start the tool using the go.bat located in \usr\sap\<SID>\<Instance Name>\j2ee\admin folder
2. Log in with an Administrator user.
3. Under the Server node click Services-> Deploy.
4. In the runtime tab, on the right hand side screen click on the Applications checkbox. The list of all deployed applications appears.
5. Select the application and click on the Remove button.
B:
Undeploying using SDM remoteGUI.
after I finished that,the application still exist in the browse of Content Administrator Web Dynpro.
But it is'n invailable.When I click the application name,it throws exceptions:
Failed to get the list of names of referenced deployable objects for deployable object 'local/Welcome'.
Failed to get list of defined JCO clients for deployable object 'local/Welcome'.
Failed to get the list of names of referenced deployable objects for deployable object 'local/Welcome'.
Failed to get enable state for 'local/Welcome'.
No resource bundles found for development component ''local/Welcome''.
My question is , how can I remove it form the list.

Hello,
     What is the version of the server you are using?
     The steps you have followed are perfectly fine and I don't see any issue there.
     I hope you refreshed the list on the Content Administrator before accessing the application.
Kind Regards,
Padma

How can I remove old calendar names from the iTunes sync list?

I gave my calendars new names as part of reducing the total number of calendars in my iCal, and now iTunes still lists the old calendar names as well as the new ones in its "selected calendars" list, even though these names are no longer present in my iCal nor on my iPod Touch. How can I remove the old calendar names?

The "genius" folks at the Apple Store lived up to their names. The key was to reset the iSync history in the iSync Preferences.

How can you remove an application' s registration info ?

Hi all,
I recently bought Nikon Capture NX after trying the 30 day demo version.
The demo worked ok, but the one I bought doesn' t...
I tried all versions ( 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.1 ) + both English and Dutch versions.
I' ve been talking to Nikon about this and they will send me a new cd.
Hope this will solve my problems, but here is my question:
How can I remove the registration info from the system, because I suspect this could be the problem as the demo worked ok and after registrating the app it all went wrong ? I even upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4 in the process ( after reformatting my HD etc. ) but the problems persist.
I would like to try out the demo once more to see if that works ok, but when I install ( after removing any Nikon- related file on my HD ) it automatically registers the app. , so I can' t try it in demo mode...
I don't want to go through a complete install of my system once more
Any help is highly appreciated
Regards,
Peter

Hello Klaus and Mike,
After all this trouble and time lost, I reinstalled my system once more - hoping the registration info would be gone as well ...
I didn' t try to install Capture NX yet, since I will receive a new install cd in a couple of days - maybe with a new serial ?
Anyway, this is what Nikon Support sent me this morning ( translated by me, so maybe not entirely to the letter :0) ):
" Dear Mister Lembrechts,
Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the registration completely.
The computer will hold the product key in its memory.
This is why a test- version can only be used for a limited time also.
The Capture NX version we sent you should solve all your problems.
Nikon Europe Support
www.europe-nikon.com/support "
Now as you do not need a registration key to use a 30 day demo version of this software, I cannot see why they don' t implement a "unregister" button or something in the preferences for example.
This could prevent the kind of struggle I experienced here.
Well, lets hope this will solve it then...

How can you remove old conversations from the iMac. Even when I remove them they return when I start a new conversation with the same person. Only happens on iMac with the Beta iMessage program

How do you remove an old conversation using the Beta iMessage on an iMac. When I open a new conversation with the same person the old conversation comes back

Hi,
Previously iChat had tried a Last Chat/IM option when using Saved Transcripts - which itself was an option.
iChat has also tried "Saving" the Last Chat by leaving a Chat window open and using something similar to the Lion method of showing an app in the state is was closed in.
In Messages the option to Save Transcripts has been removed and Chats or all types are saved as a matter of course.
What this tends to mean for your iChat style Buddy Chats is that it opens all the Transcripts for that buddy as a sort of History you can scroll back through if you want (I have some Buddies with saved chats gong back to 2004)
With the Syncing of iMessages with iPhones and iPads (or Touches) then it seems this works slightly differently.
Although you can delete the chat and the contents of the Chat as separate action it is true that in the Beta as soon as you connect to the same Contact that the contents of the previous chats are shown to you.
I have found that Messages stores a data base of info on iMessages in Your Home Folder/Library/Messages
I have found that deleting this chat-db removes the "History" that keep popping up.
By default the Saved "iChats" are also stored in the Home Folder/Documents/iChats (At least this is the default place iChat used and they go to the same iChats folder where ever you had it)
Some people claim removing iMessages saved here stops the "History" reappearing.
In Lion the only access to the Home Folder/Library is via the Finder's Go Menu and hiding down the ALT key

You can delete it from itunes and sync.
You can deselect it from the apps tab and sync.
You can hold an icon on the iphone until they all wiggle then tap the "X".
You cannot delete the standard app.
Maybe you should have a look at the manual.

HT4484 How can I remove an application from my "Purchased" history?

I have installed some apps then removed them from iPad. How can remove them from App Store purchased application?

You can't. Purchase history remains even though you have deleted the apps themselves. You can hide them so that they do not show up.

How can I remove an application that is under another apple id?

Apple Support Community,
I purchased a Macbook Pro, 13-inch, Mid 2012, running OS X 10.9 (13A603) used on Amazon. I neglected to reset the computer upon recieving so now I am stuck with somewhat of a quagmire. I don't want to reset the computer now since I have installed most of the programs I will need for my day to day functions not to mention all my media that I was able to convert from my old PC. There is an issue I am having with the App Store trying to update "Angry Birds" but it will not continue with the update because I am entering the wrong User ID for the download. Is there anyway I can just delete this application from the update area? I noticed that when I went to download Mavericks there were updates available for applications that were already installed on the Macbook so I simply deleted the previous versions on the Macbook and downloaded the recent updates under my Apple ID. I would do this for the Angry Birds application but this would require me to purchase it when I do not want this game on my computer... Does anyone have any advice to solve my situation?
V/R,
