How do I remove an update from the app window that I don't want to update or download?
The Mac app store keeps telling me I have a software update for a app I have deleted from my computer. How do I get rid of it.
If the application came with an uninstaller, you should use that. If it didn't, usually dragging the app from the Applications folder to the trash is sufficient.
You could go to categories and find the errant app. If it has a formal uninstaller you could download it again and then follow their uninstall procedure. It will cost you nothing as you originally paid for it.
If not you can try a program like AppDelete.

But a little light reading via typing in 'Deleting Apps' in the search box is often as good a way to pick up specialist advice.
Hope this goes some way to helping.

How do I remove an iBook from the "Purchased" window of the iBooks store? I have already deleted it from the "Library" but it still shows up as a purchased book.
You can't currently delete items from your Purchased page, all you can do is hide (and unhide) them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919

Is there a way to hide apps from the app store?
I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps!
I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!
Is there a way to hide them so that my kids will never see them when looking for new apps?Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps. -

What a pain in the *** this whole process is too. I might as well just delete the freakin' program from the computer and rack it up to nonsense on the Apple end of things. To **** with you. Support ***! Bah! 20 minutes into this process and I have to type and retype over something you suggested I do. Next time I'll take your suggestions with a grain of salt . Fuggetaboutit!

That stupid Notification popped up for the 2nd time. I think it does it once a week, where it asks me if I want to update to Mavericks. It''s obnoxious and annoying because I screen record a lot and that can ruin my recordings. Not only that, but why is it trying to force me to update to Mavericks if my older Macbook runs Snow Leopard better? Boot times and shutdown times are better on Snow Leopard, and my fan doesn't run constantly on Snow Leopard like I remember it doing on Mavericks.
Move these two items to the Desktop, restart, and you shouldn't see the message again:

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.

My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!
You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

I bought my friends Toshiba laptop. Her itunes account is on there, hooked up to a credit card. She doesn't remember her ID. I think I had it emailed to her by typing in her email address and first and last name. Now that she probably HAS her Apple ID and Password, how do we remove her account from the laptop so I can use MY itunes?
Delete the ENTIRE iTunes folder from her user directory.
Frankly, you should be restoring the laptop as new, either using the restore CD provided by Toshiba or by reinstalling Windows with a Windows CD to remove ALL of her personal information. -
I just installed Firefox 5. How can I remove the Bing search from the address bar. I don't want to see Bing at all. I tired the Firefox options, right-clicking on the search field and the toolbar selection drop-down but could not find a way to get rid of that unwanted search window.

1. click it and hover over to '''PREFERENCES'''.
2. click the second circle that say's '''BING.'''
3. '''Un-check''' both boxes.
4. you're done :)
