How do I remove an app (family sharing) that was previously approved?

Greetings -
With Family Sharing, we find that the "approve purchase" feature is wonderful - but what if we approve an app that, later, we decide was a bad idea?  I can't seem to find a way to permanently unapprove it - even after removing it, and "hiding" it in the purchases list for every user, it still shows up with the cloud download icon in the app store (i.e., it can be downloaded again without approval).  I need this to be reverted so that, if the app was requested again, it asked the family organizer (me) for approval.  Is there a way to do that?  If it's important, my two girls both have iOS devices - but I'm approving the requests on a Mac.

If you've encountered the activation lock and previously associated that device with Apple Configurator, bypass it from there.
If you've encountered the activation lock but didn't associate that device with Apple Configurator, take it and its original purchase receipt to a physical Apple Store or otherwise contact Apple.

    How do you remove someone from family sharing on iTunes?

    On your device (I assume you are the organizer), go to SETTINGS -> iCloud -> Family.  Select the specific family member and then click Remove.

  • How do I remove music from iPhone 5 that was downloaded using Amazon Music Player?

    I uploaded my music files to the Amazon Cloud Player.  Then through the Amazon Cloud Player app, I downloaded songs directly to my iPhone so I could access them when offline.  I removed the app when I wasn't using it anymore but now can't delete the song files.  When I sync the phone with iTunes, the songs show up on iTunes but I can't play them or delete them.  No files are showing up when I try to delete through the Usage area of settings.

    YYou should see what Amazon clour player support site says oh how to remove sounds.

  • HT5858 How do I remove an app from ipad that doesn't wiggle?

    I updated Facebook on my ipad air...afterwards, I had 2 Facebook icons on my homepage, one of which didn't allow me to remove it. Don't know what I did, but now there is a "social" icon that I can't remove...help!!

    Not sure, but the app may need to be closed to delete.
    For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • How do I change andmisistrator on my mac that was previously password protected but no longer have password

    Can someone please assisst we are leasing a mac desktop whoever had it previously set themselves as administrator and then when they returned it they didn't take themselves off so now then company we leased it from has no idea what the password is and we can't wipe it clean and start fresh as administrators or add accounts because we are not the administrators.

    Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • How do I re-download only the music that was previously DRM protected?

    I want to use the new iTunes in the Cloud to rid myself of the dreaded m4p songs that I had been downloading for years. Is there an easy way to detect them in iTunes? I can't just download everything I have ever downloaded because it "sees" the protected music.
    Basically, I want to iTunes Plus my music.

    to download your previously purchased drm-protected music as iTunes plus you will still have to upgrade them to itunes plus the old way. meaning you'll have to pay for the upgrade. if you don't, you'll still be able to use the iTunes cloud service to download those tracks to all your devices, but only the 128k protected versions.

  • How to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing

    Can someone please explain to me in detail how to set-up and use FAMILY Sharing, none of the information I have so far found in the documentation helps at all, in fact it puts you in a constant loop giving the same information over and over again
    We have quite a few devices from ipads, iphones and ipods and I need to set-up Family Sharing.
    We have our main Apple ID which is linked to our Payment method, I have now got my son a new iPad, I have created his Apple ID and set-up a link via FAMILY Sharing to our main Apple ID.
    From what I read we should be able to share our purchased Apps between family members.
    So I figured I would be able to get the Apps now via iTunes that are part of the FAMILY Sharing, however when I go into ITunes (latest version downloaded yesterday) I can only see the Home sharing menu item not FAMILY Sharing, so I cannot work out in Itunes how to get Apps that are FAMILY shared.  So ok I will try and get Apps directly via the Ipad using the App Store.  To test it is working I look for a known paid for App, I then go to download it and it is now asking me to pay for it again. 
    Can someone please explain to me in detail how FAMILY Sharing is supposed to work and how I get it to work please.
    Thanks for your help

    Hey GregWr,
    Thanks for the question. The following resources provides some of the best information regarding Family Sharing. Included, you’ll find information on making sure the accounts are set to "Share my purchases”, as well as information on downloading Family Member purchases from the iTunes Purchased section. Please note that some applications are not shareable.

  • How can I remove safari data from shared iCloud account?

    Before iOS 8 and family sharing I was using a single iCloud account shared among several Apple devices in my household.  Now that we are all using our own separate Apple Accounts I want to delete shared data from other devices that were using my iCloud account.  For example, my wife and I both have data synched with iCloud (the same account) for Safari.  Now that her phone has been switched over to her own AppleID, I want to purge the data stored in my icloud account from her device.  When I open Safari on my phone, I can see a list at the bottom of tabs that my wife had open on her phone at one time in the past.  That list will never get updated now that she is using her own account.  So how do I purge old data from other devices off my iCloud account? 

    If she's on a different account now, Safari data from the previous account should no longer be on her device.  iCloud tabs, on the other hand, will persist from a device that is no longer sharing the account for 14 days, after which they are automatically cleared.  (This is coming from iCloud, not from her device.)  You might try waiting a couple of weeks and see if they aren't automatically removed.
    If you're still concerned, you could always ask her to go to Settings>Safari and tap Clear History and Website Data.  This won't clear her iCloud tabs from your device though; you'll have to wait for that.

  • How can I remove "invitations" from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?

    How can I remove invitations from a shared iCloud calendar when I am not actually invited to the event?
    My wife and I share our calendars and she uses it very frequently. Every time she enters a new event on her calendar I get a notice (invitation?) in the Calendar app, even though I am not invited to the event she created.
    I would like to continue being able to share our calendars but I do not want the hassle of an Invitation popping up every time she enters an event.
    Thanks!

    You can sync photos and itunes content with one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another, it will erase the current content and  replace with content from the new computer.

  • Removing myself from family sharing group.

    Can anyone share with me the steps to remove myself from family sharing in Yosemite?  I tried to setup family sharing but the system is telling me I already belong to a family.  I am unaware of this and don't know the steps to look up the parent relationship for deletion.  So I'm looking for ways to either find out who the parent is or a self deletion process.  Thanks for the help.

  • How do I remove an app from the menubar

    I deleted an app form my lanchpad when it was requesting a password as resident on the menubar and when I try to quit it at the menubar it does not close.  How do I remove this app from the menubar?

    Command-click it and drag it out. If that doesn't work, find and run an uninstaller for that application.

  • How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id?

    How do I remove an app from the update list that is under someone else's apple id? So this way the update always fails because it asks for someone else's password. I don't have the app on my mac, it only appears in the update list. It's just annoying, because the update keeps appearing, and the reminder keeps reminding me that I should install a new update.

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.
