How do I remove an app from download list in app store.

I made the mistake of signing up for the new photos app for the mac, not realizing I would have to also install the beta for the Yosemite update.  I think I better not do this but I have the app siting in my app store updates list.  Can I remove the app without downloading it?  Or should I download it and then just trash it?  I was willing to deal with a potentially unstable photo app but do not want to have an unstable OS.  (Maybe you can tell I am not the most experienced user here).

thank you for your replies.  yes I do use time machine!  My problem is that i recently installed parallels and run some windows financial programs and don't want to risk impairing the virtual machine functions.  i guess I need to go over to the parallels people and ask them--.  Sounds like the worst that could happen is I would learn how to re-install using time machine.

  • How do I remove a device from the list?

    I had an old Bluetooth device that I no longer own. Its name still appears in my Bluetooth list. How do I remove it? The Troubleshooting manual says:
    8. How do I remove a device from the device list?
    Using the Bluetooth preferences, select the device you want to remove to highlight it, then click the minus sign. It is recommended that you remove a device from this list while the device is connected.
    This does not work. There is no minus sign anywhere. I tried clicking the minus sign on my keyboard, but that is not it. Any suggestions?

    Its name still appears in my Bluetooth list.
    What Bluetooth list? You've completely neglected to tell us what mobile device or computer running what operating system you are referring to.
    I'll make a guess that you're using a Mac. If I'm right, the minus sign is here:

  • How do I remove an item from downloading on iTunes Store on iphone5s?

    I recently purchased a song busy mistake. While it was downloading, it paused, and I figured I would not be charged. When I received an email from iTunes showing me my receipt, I realised I had been charged, but did not have the song in my playlist. So I went back on the iTunes Store and tried to complete the download, but it kept telling me there was an error and the download could not be complete. I contacted apple and they gave me a refund, but that song is sill in the download list, and I don't know how to delete it. The only thing to tap is the "tap to download" button, but I keep getting the error. How do I remove this song?

    Hello Hockeygurl12
    If you are having an issue with your purchase, you should be able to go to the iTunes Store app, tap on More and then Downloads. Then you should be able to swipe from right to left to delete it. Then you can try to download it again from the Music app. If you are still unable to download your track, the report the issue to the iTunes Store.

    Hey mmoore216,
    Great question! You can disable your Facebook contacts from syncing with your Contacts application in the following location:
    iOS: Using Facebook, Twitter, and other social network accounts

    Sync contacts and calendars
    iOS can sync your Facebook contacts and calendars with your device. This feature is off by default, but you can enable it in Settings > Facebook after adding your account.

  • How do I remove purchased albums from artist list ios7

    In the music app on ios7 under the artist tab, I can now see any artist I've ever downloaded from the iTunes Store. This includes any of the free artists I downloaded such as the free iTunes Gifts during the holiday season. How do I hide artists from the artist tab. Even though I haven't downloaded the track or album to my iphone it still shows as an option to download from the cloud.

    Figured it out. It's in settings- music - then turn off Show All Music

  • Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

    Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
    When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
    In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
    Now this doesnt work.
    The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
    This doesnt work either.
    I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
    This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
    Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
    Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
    Im running:
    Macbook Air 2012
    OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
    Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
    iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

    Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • HT204266 how do I remove a user from app store

    The app store will not allow me to update my apps without updating a user that was the previous owner of the laptop. How do I remove this person from the computer etc.

    If you mean an iTunes store id then Settings > Store - touch the id on the right and select sign-out from the popup. You can also do it via the bottom of the Feature tab in the App Store app. If you have any apps on the iPad that were downloaded/installed via that id then you may want to delete them - if updates for them ever appear in the App Store then you will only be able to update them via the id that was used to buy them (apps are linked to the account id, not to the device that they are on)

  • How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

    How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
    I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
    So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

    Hi Andy ..
    no longer have or use
    If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
    Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
    Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
    Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
    For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

    Thanks

    If you haven't already, do Settings > iCloud and turn off Find My iPhone.  You will have to supply your Apple ID and password.
    Then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings to make the iPhone appear as if it just came out of the box.
