How do I delete an app update I don't want before downloading it?

I was looking at the same thing.  People automatically assume updating is ALWAYS good and the developers ALWAYS make things better.  Well you know what they don't and MANY times make things worse and just can't leave well enough alone and have to constantly fidget with stuff once you finally get comfortable working with the app.  The new Facebook update for example IS unstable and horrid.  Apple is SO great, but misses many of these little details like this issue we are running into.
Clearly that's an opinion.  I have seen some changes that I didn't believe were desirable but it has never been serious enough that I wanted the out-of-date rev level.
Unfortunately, the problem is support.  It's extremely difficult to provide support for a product when a user may well have any one of a half-dozen rev levels.  Suppose the latest rev level is 8.1 and you have 4.3.  You're experiencing a problem that has been addressed in various stages in rev 4.7, 5.12 and 7.4.  The support tech's only option is to recommend that you always keep your software at the latest rev level.

    You cannot delete/remove apps from your App Store purchases. They will remain there forever but they are not necessarly still on the device. You can hide your past purchases but need to do so using iTunes.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    As was mentioned, just because they are showing in your purchases, it does not mean that they are on the device. If you have deleted them from the device and are no longer on the device, they are not using any of your device's storage. You'l' have to look elsewhere to see what is taking up the space you are missing.
    Check Settings>General>Usage, then tap on Show all Apps to get an idea of what is physically on the device (Apps, Music, Photos, Videos, etc.)

  • How do you delete an app you don't want that you decide you don't want?

    you just hold down on the apps and wait for them to wiggle and delete the ones you don't want...

  • How can I delete the apps I don't want to update, from the App Store Notification list?

    The number of apps, waiting to be updated is growing, and growing!  I want that number to go away.  I am not going to update the ones I don't want.
    How can I clear the list, so I only see the number of ones I have not looked at - the new notifications?

    You can't clear the notifications unless you udate the apps. There is nothing that you can do about it - unless you delete every trace of those apps everywhere - in iTunes, your iPad, all iDevices .... and I still don't think that totally eliminates the updates. If you download an App and it is tied to your ID, the notifications will appear somewhere - maybe not on the iPad - but in iTunes at least.

  • HT5007 How do I delete an app I don't want?

    I want to delete an app .how do I delete it?

    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... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps  =  Off / On
    If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.

  • How do I delete photos from an external hard drive before downloading to my new Mac?

    I have a Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external hard drive that has all my photos from my old computer on it  Because there are thousands, I want to delete a bunch of them before downloading onto my new Mac.  However, when I click on the photos, they say "locked."  Once I have the photos trimmed down, how do I get the to download to my Mac?

    Don't touch that one !
    I was hoping that in addition to that there should be another device listed, namely the USB External HD you've got plugged into the USB port. It should show up something like this:

  • How do I see how much memory is being taken up by programs and how do I delete the ones I don't need.

    Is there a way I can see how much memory each program is taking up and then how do I delete the ones I don't want to use.

    Download from the Internet OmniDiskSweeper (free) and open it.  It will show all of your files and the respective sizes.  Delete and transfer what you do not want or need on your HDD.

  • How can i delete an app i no longer want

    How can I delete an app I don't want on my I pad.I thought it was free but this is only a 2 week trial Basic mistake but I don't want the app to continue.Can anyone advise please.

    Hold down on the icon until it wiggles on the screen and then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button when you are done.
    If the app is an auto renewing subscription app, you will have to cancel the subscription as well. Deleting the app will not prevent you from being charged. Lokk here for help.

  • I want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized?

    i want to update my phone, but i purchased many apps and music on the phone. it won't let me authorize my computer so i cannot update. i don't want to deauthorize all my computers. how can i find out which 5 computers i have authorized? also how can i update the software?

    This is a tedious solution, which is stupid!  And some users report an inability to reauthorize a computer after an "en masse” deauthorization.  I can’t believe Apple doesn’t provide a list or menu to find out which computers you’ve authorized! Obviously, APPLE knows (or else they couldn’t tell us how many computers we have authorized)--so why can’t they give us access to that information about our own computers??!!!
    And for an already-authorized computer with a hard drive that’s since been replaced and upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite, would it be recognized as a “new computer” and require authorization? Would its previous incarnation (i.e., with the old hard drive and OS) be considered a separate computer? Some users report they can’t authorize a computer after an OS upgrade because of that. Can’t believe we have to do such a bass-ackwards kludge!

  • HT1918 I have 2 iTunes accounts. How do I delete the account I don't need?

    I have 2 iTunes accounts. How do I delete the account I don't need?
    thanks guys
    TM

    It's not currently possible to delete an account, all you can do is stop using it. If you have any content that you purchased/downloaded with that account then it will remain tied to that account (you can't move or transfer content from one account to another) - so you will need to remember the id and password if you ever want to re-download it and/or authorise it on a new computer.

  • How do I delete a photo from an album?  I don't want to ctrl   delete b/c I don't want to delete it forever.  It just landed in the wrong album (there is a copy in the correct album and the wrong album)

    I've got photos organized into projects by year, folder by month and then broken into albums within the months (mom of young kids).  When I was creating albums yesterday, I didn't notice a little box that says "do you want to put selected photos in album?"  So every time I created a new album, it put the photo that I had been working on in that album.  I want that photo (in the album in which it belongs), so I don't want to ctrl+delete.  But I don't want that photo in 10 other albums.  How can I get it out of the albums where I don't want it?

    In addition to johngrussel's suggestion the delete key by itself will run the Remove from Album comand.
    Note that's the delete key with no modifier.Command-delete will delete the version from the project.
