How do I remove a purchased app completely,

How do I remove a purchased app completely,from all apple devices

You can delete it from any device that it is on by pressing and holding it on the device's homescreen for a second or two until they shake and then tapping the 'x' on its top left corner, and you can delete it from your computer's iTunes library by selecting it and pressing the delete button on your keyboard. You can also hide it from the Purchased tabs on your devices so that it doesn't show for redownloading (you can't permanently delete any item from your purchase history) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 - if a device is on iOS 7 you will probably then need to log out of your account on it by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back for it to disappear from the Purchased tab

  • HT201322 How do you remove hidden purchased apps permanently?

    How do you remove hidden purcased iphone applications (Apps) permanently?
    When you delete the app from your iphone and also the from you Mac computer, they are just hidden and not deleted pernanently !!!!
    There isn't and option to allow you to do this. Maybe this is a safeguard to secure and not to accidently delete purchases but as with most delete functions 2 or more levels can be built in with confirmation at each to minimise this but ultimately the user's need the option to completely temove all unwanted items purchased or not.

    You can't delete the purchase record as far as I know.
    You can hide it from reappearing as a purchase to download:

    There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

  • How can I delete a bad app completely from my iPad mini in order to re-download it as though I never had it?

    How can I delete a bad app completely from my iPad mini in order to re-download it as though I never had it?

    Yes, it will now always show that you purchased it, but with it deleted from ipad, when yu click the icon to download again, it will download the latest versioon available from the app store.
    You cannot delete what is in the app store. nor can you erase your previous history of purchasing the app.

  • How do I transfer my purchased apps

    How do I transfer my purchased apps & music from iPhone 3G to iPhone 5 & iPad?

    As long as the apps are still in the store then you can redownload them directly on both the iPhone 5 and iPad via the Purchased tab in their App Store apps, and (depending upon what country that you are in) you may also be able to redownload your music purchases on them via the Purchased tab in their iTunes store apps.
    But if you want the apps content from your 3G and not just the apps, then you will need to go via a computer's iTunes e.g. connect the 3G and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy the apps and songs etc over to your computer's iTunes, then take a backup of the phone (File > Devices > Back Up) and then restore that backup on the iPhone 5 and/or iPad (restoring will replace all current content on them).
    Going forward you don't have to backup to a computer, you will be able to backup to iCloud (the 3G is too old to support iCloud, so you can't back that up to it) :
    iCloud : http://www.apple.com/icloud/
    How to backup : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    Ideally though you'd have a computer that you could copy your iTunes downloads over to so that you can take a backup copy of them (and you could also back the iPhone and iPad up to a computer). There is no guarantee that any item will remain in the store for future redownloading, the content provider (app developer, record company etc) could remove their item from the store - and ringtones and audiobooks are currently one-time only downloads from the store, so without a computer you won't be able to them from one device to the other. A computer isn't needed, but it would be preferable to have one.
    There are also minimum specs that a computer needs to meet to be able to sync an iPhone 5 to - from http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html :
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.6.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.7 or later

  • TS1702 How do you permanently delete purchased apps from itunes?

    How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

    I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
    It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
    I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
    I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

  • HT1977 how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account?

    how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account? It bothers me a lot when I try to syn my device to a new computer and all the apps i've ever purchased get downloaded to a new computer even the ones I never use anymore.

    Sorry, but you can't permanently delete an app. You can hide them:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    but the app will still sync to your computer if the app is present on the iPad. If the apps are downloading directly to your computer and hiding doesn't do the job, you'll need to turn off automatic downloading.
    Regards.

  • How can i move my purchased app from apple id in russia to ukrainean app store when i change country

    I had my apple id in Russia and had a lot of purchased apps there. Recently i had to change a country of my apple id to Ukraine. So i have a question how can i move my purchased apps to apple id in Ukraine?

    You have been mislead. Other users report that what you have been told by the Hack is not true. The apps will appear to have disappeared, but if you try to update an app at first the MAS will appear to be selling you the app, but if you continue, as if to buy the app, the MAS will realize that you previously purchased the app and download it for free. You can test this for yourself using a free or inexpensive app.

  • HT1203 Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? Do I need a home computer,

    Can I share one iTunes account for my iPad and two I phones? If so, how can I get the purchased apps and music on all three devices? How do I sync all the devices to have the same music and apps?

    You can set up an iCloud account on each one (the SAME iCloud account using the same AppleID on each) and then sync via iCloud.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262\
    However, an iCloud backup nor sync contains purchased content - that is available for redownload from the iTunes and App stores (so no need to waste iCloud space storing it for you).
    So, for purchased content, you will have to download it on each device - just use the same AppleID and download each item on each device.
    Without a computer to aid the sync'ing, downloading the purchased content on each device is the only way.
    P.S  audiobooks cannot be re-downloaded once purchased (all other content can be), so without a computer to save, store and move the audiobook files around, you will only be able to put those on one device - the one you first purchase it on.

    It is easy to download items you have purchased from iTunes again; this article will walk you through it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You want the "Apps on iOS" section.

    Hello swethachavali,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Make sure that you are authorizing your computer with the same Apple ID that you used to purchase those apps.  Please review the following article for more information:

  • I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad?

    I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad? I assume they didn't back up to cloud since that came with this update. I can see all my purchased apps but no way to transfer them back to my ipad from whereever they are.  Wish itunes was more user friendly.  Help please.

    If you are running iTunes 11 and if you didn't figure this out yet, when you launch iTunes - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen. Once you can see the sidebar, iTunes looks so much more familiar.
    The "new look" iTunes doesn't appeal all that much to me, I just want the functionality that I have always had. It's still there, its just been hidden with a lot of fluff and visual wow that I really don't care about .... Just my opinion.

  • How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID?

    How do you keep your purchased apps if you are forced to change your Apple ID? A good example is if you are forced to change your email, which you use as your Apple ID.  what if it is a security app and you lose a lot of data if you lose the app? Why are the apps tied to the Apple ID rather than the user? Why is it impossible to globally change the Apple I D?

    All content is tied to the account, but you can change the primary email address on an account e.g. you can log into your account via the Store > View Account on your computer's iTunes and there should be an Edit button to the right of your account id on your account's page, or similarly on your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and view your account. Or you can update it by logging into it via this page http://appleid.apple.com . You shouldn't lose any content on the account if you update it.
    After updating the account you may need to log out of your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in with the updated version for it to be 'refreshed' on it
