How can I wipe purchases from my icloud

My purchases on my iCloud account span several years and the list is large, several items were files for my nieces used on their iPads, and iPods which were under my user info that have outgrown their use. Is there a way I can actually delete the files from the list so I do not have to dig through useless apps to get to what I actually need while restoring and updating devices?
I only see these files when I log in my iPhone, my iPad and I my iPods not on my computer. They appear in the purchased list from the app store. Can they be deleted?

You cannot delete purchases, but you can hide them: iTunes Store- Hiding and unhiding purchases.

  • How can i delete Apps from my iCloud

    I have downloaded some Apps that i didn't like and i deleted them from my IPad. But they are still in the iCloud. How can i delete these from the iCloud?

    If you mean they are in your purchased list in iCloud, this can't be deleted.  The iTunes and App stores keep a record of all your purchases.  If you don't want to see them listed you can hide them if you want, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.  (Note: you can no longer hide purchases on an iOS device if you are running iOS 6 but you can still hide them on your computer.)

  • I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

    I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

    The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device.  This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on.  Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
    To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore.  Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another.  Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.

    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

    Apps that are written for the Mac OS cannot be used on iOS devices, such as the iPad. You can purchase the iOS versions of some of these apps in the iTunes App Store.

  • How can I transfer "notes" from one icloud account to another, and other account questions

    Hey,
    I currently have 2 icloud accounts. (In total I have 4 seperate apple ids somehow, 1 @me.com, 1 @icloud.com, 1 @gmail.com, and 1 apple id. But that's a problem I'll talk about later).
    Right now, all of my notes got deleted from my iphone, but they are on the icloud account A: (@me.com account's icloud.) When I reconnect this account to my iphone, the notes are there. However, when I turn off note syncing in my iphone's icloud settings, I'm not prompted to "keep data on iphone" (like I am prompted with contacts). Instead, they are just deleted from the iphone. So there's no way to connect the icloud account A, download the data, and reconnect icloud account B.
    How can I get these notes from icloud account A to icloud account B (or just getting it from icloud account A to my iphone.)
    And while I'm at it, how can I get the @icloud account that was linked with the @me.com account to get linked to the @gmail.com account.
    Sorry if this is confusing.

    Let me rephrase my comment...  I used Windows to sync my data without icloud, we decided to switch to mac and purchased a $2000 osx driven machine only to find out apple has "secretly" disabled mobile sync services and replaced it with icloud syncing.  There was NO documentation stating this fact before my purchase, it was only realized when users started running into syncing issues that apple disclosed mavericks no longers uses mobile syncing services and "requires you to use icloud to sync device information" on this forum.
    They removed a integral part of my privacy without telling me, or warning me, before i spent money on non-refundable merchandice.
    These are not mindless, I was forced into mavericks when i purchased a new mac... All other versions of OSX provide modile syncing services.
    And I was not threatening lawsuit, i was stating a thought that this leavs apple open to a lawsuit for people who want their data kept private, they are FORCING the use of icloud now.

  • How can I restore contacts from my iCloud account?

    I need to restore my contacts that were backed up to iCloud on 11/21/12.  How can I do that? 

    Your contacts are not included in the iCloud backup, they are synced to your iCloud account.  If your contacts are not in your iCloud account on icloud.com when you check with your computer you won't be able to recover them from icloud.

  • How can I sign out from old icloud email on my device? I changed email recently and by mistake restored my new iphone 6 from old back up with email that doesn't exist. Pls help!

    I have changed i cloud email recently, and wanted to set up my new iphone 6 from 2 months old back up. Later I found out that icloud has old email, but it doesn't recognize password to sign out because it is not in i cloud system anymore. Now I cant turn off stupid icloud to reset my new iphone 6  
    How can I change icloud email or reset and erase new phone 6 if it is stuck on an old apple id which doesnt exist?

    The fact that the email address doesn't exist anymore doesn't matter. As far as the Apple ID is concerned, the email address is just a user name. As long as you know the password you used, it should be fine.
    If you don't remember the password, start here:

  • HT4759 I lost all my contacts in my iphone. How can I get them from my icloud back to my iphone?

    All my contacts got deleted from my iphone 4s. How do I transfor them from icloud back to my phone?

    joephilipose,
    If the contacts are still in Address Book on your computer, but just not on the phone, you can tell iTunes to force replace the contacts on your phone with those from your computer. You can do this by going into the Info tab when your iPhone is connected, and checking the Contacts box under the Advanced section at the bottom of the page.
    You may also want to backup your Address Book information as well. It's a good idea to make periodic backups of your contact and calendar information in case information accidentally gets deleted or changed. You can find out how to backup your Address Book data here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    To backup your iCal information, follow the steps in this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iCal/3.0/en/9889.html
    Hope this helps,

  • How can I force purchases from one apple id to another?

    We bought my childrens music under my wife's apple ID but now we are split up.  I can transfer the purchases to my itunes and make all new purchases under my apple id but cannot update those purchased under her apple id, I guess it remembers where it was purchased.  How can I make them under my apple id so we can update them?

    You can't. All purchases under an Apple ID are forever tied to that ID and cannot be transferred.

  • How can I restore data from my iCloud account on a new iPhone 5c with a previous SW version that my old (stolen) iPhone 5?

    Hello everybody,
    I need help to restore data from my iCloud account on an unused iPhone 5c because my iPhone 5 with a newer iOS update was stolen. When I try I get a message that I cannot retore my data because the iOS on my iPhone 5c is an older version than on the stolen iPhone 5.
    There must be a way to do this. I hope to hear from you
    thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You cannot. However, you can solve this problem by setting the iPhone as a new device and upgrading iOS in Settings -> Software Update.
    After upgrading iOS, open Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase All Content and Settings. Finally, Setup Assistant will let you restore the backup.

  • HT4906 how can I delete photos from my icloud account

    I would like to free up space on my icloud account.  can I do that by deleting pictures?  How can I delete the pictures?

    This is the iPhoto for Mac forum. None of the services that use iPhoto in iCloud use up any of your space, so I suggest you try here:

    You can't do that yourself; if desired, you can click here and ask the iTunes Store staff if they will, but they probably won't.
