How do I totally remove apps which I have purchased

How do I remove apps I punched but no longer require or use anymore?

There is a way to 'Hide' the old deleted apps from the Purchased History of your iPhone/iPad's iTunes account (prevent from them from showing in Purchase History on your devices).
Follow these steps:
On your PC/MAC:
1. Login into your Apple account on your iTunes on your PC or MAC (Menu > iTunes Store > Sign in);
2. Go to the side tab on your PC/Mac called 'iTunes Store'
3. Scroll down that page to the bottom. Click the link 'Purchased' under the heading 'Manage'
4. Within the 'Purchased' page, click the 'Apps' tab > 'Not in My Library' filter
5. Go to the the specific deleted Apps that you want to hide. Click the Cross icon on the top left hand corner of each App icon (cross appears when you hover over it). This will hide the app showing here (essentially it will ALSO HIDE the app from your Purchase history on your iPhone/iPad -- complete the steps below for this to take effect)
THEN on Your iPhone/iPad:
6. Sign out of your Apple ID account on your iPhone/iPad (Go to the 'Settings' app > Scroll down & Click 'iTunes & App Store' > click on your account (email) > then click 'Sign Out' when it pops up.
7. Sign back in to your account
8. Go to the 'App Store' app on your device > Go to Updates > Purchased.
and voila ..... The previously deleted apps are no longer shown here in your Purchase History and can no longer be downloaded! (they are hidden).
The apps can be hidden from all your other devices (iPhone/iPad) with same Apple ID provided you also do the sign out steps (6-8 above). You would also need to do these steps (6-8) each time you hide new apps (i.e. Steps 1-5) on your PC/Mac.
On your PC/Mac, the apps can be unhidden if you want to (though I doubt you would want to) by going to iTunes Store > Account > Hidden Purchases > Manage > Apps.
However, so long as you DO NOT unhide any apps and no one you know goes to the very specific areas of your iTunes Store in the iTunes program on your PC/Mac (and when you are signed in), then you should be fine!
Hope this helps and easy to follow!
Please let me know if this works for you.
Thanks
Mike

Its a long story, but the short version is my computer has been lost at the repair shop. So now I have another computer and have to download all my purchases and other stuff . How do I down load Apps which I have purchased again? Also talking books?

Its a long story, but the short version is my computer hads been lost at the repair shop. I now have to download all my purchases, Apps and books down again onto my ipad. I have found my purchase (songs and TV Shows) but I cant find my apps I have all the receipts. What do I do now?

Before you do what Hunter suggested, you need to authorize the iTunes account on the new computer. To authorize, Store > Authorize This Computer. Use your current Apple ID and Password. Then connect your iPad and transfer your purchases.

When you buy software to download it's VITAL to archive what you download, preferably to a CD/DVD. I write the serial number on the disk for completeness.
That said, you may be able to log on to My Adobe and see if they have a record of your purchase, and it's recent enough to still have a download. If it's the CURRENT version you can just download the demo.

How to clean all updated apps which I've purchased?

If you go to the App srore on your iPhone then Updates, then Purchased you have purchased apps to upgrade. Well, I have 200 of it. I upgrade it in 2 hours (!!!) one by one, because there is no button update alll (thank you Apple, you know better). Now they are srill there, wit a button OPEN, chow to clear this mess? Anyone?

Why didn't you use the Update All button on the Updates screen? This will update all Apps currently on your iPhone and needing an update.
The Apps in the Purchased screen will never go away. It is a record of all purchased Apps whether they are currently on your iPhone or not.

HT5772 How do I cancel the app that I have purchased

I would like to cancel an application that I have purchased. I am being charged on a weekly basis for this app and I do not use it. If i just delete the icons I am still going to get craged or no? Can some one give me the answer please, I could not find any answer on the site. Thanks in advance

Deleting an app won't cancel its subscription. There are instructions on this page for managing and stopping auto-renewing subscriptions : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

How can I permanently remove apps from my ipad, iphone and ipod (which are in icloud)?

How can I permanently remove apps from my iphone, ipad, ipod operating in the iCloud?

Apps don't operate in the cloud - they're either downloaded to your device, or they're in your Purchased list. You can't permanently remove the history of apps you've purchased, but you can hide them. See this link:

Close inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

I bought an app for my macbook pro. How can I share that app, which is ipad compatible, to my iPad.

You should check with the software publisher. Although you will need a separate iPad version of the program, some publishers make the iPad version cheap or even free, knowing that you have to buy the Mac or PC version to get the most out of the iPad version.

Removing unwanted apps which I have downloaded.

Still need help with this problem of trying to remove unawanted apps that I have downloaded.
None of the apps which I have download on my iphone show a white x in the top left hand corner of the icon when I hold them down til they wiggle. I have reset my phone several times with no success. Have made changes on itunes using my laptop however when I attempt to sync my phone the changes are not applied so the unwanted apps remain.
Please can someone help?

Jailbreaking is the process by which Apple’s mobile operating system, iOS, is modified to run unsigned code in order to gain access to files that Apple wouldn’t normally let you access.
Someone has to actually hook it up to a computer to do this process, or did you buy your phone from an individual seller that might have hacked the phone prior to you owning it?
If you have an app called Cydia, it is likely jailbroken.

You should always have your apps on your computer. If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
Sorry.
Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

How can I totally remove GoPhoto.it from my MacBook Pro?

Hello!
How can I totally remove the malware program GoPhoto.it from my MacBook Pro? I am desperate to get some help on this issue.
Somehow, the malware GoPhoto.it downloaded itself to my computer. A few days ago in a desperate attempt to delete the program, I followed some instructions that I found online. I deleted the "supposed" file from the "Application Support" folder, but the program continues to plague my laptop! Please help, as I just got this computer a few months ago and would like to make it last as long as possible!
Blessings and thanks in advance!

Try Amazon but look for the iWork suite of software. It's only sold separately as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the App Store.

As I update IOS5 I can't use those apps which I have already buy before.

As I update IOS5 I can't use those apps which I have already buy before.They are still here but just can't open as I try to click in the app it will jump back to the main menu.How can I solve this problem???Please help!!

Make sure the iPad fully synced back up to your computer after the installation. The apps were removed as part of installing 5.0, and should be restored back to it as you finish. Connect the iPad to your computer that you backed up to, and sync it again. If they don't come back, go to the Apps page (click on your iPad under Devices, then Apps) and click the ones you want to sync. You could also restore to the backup you made right before the update.

How can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

how can I use apps that I have purchased from Apps Store for Mac on my iPad2?

Thanks, varjak, it is too easy to fall into use of jargon assuming everyone understands what it means.
One additional point in all of this, not all "iDevice" apps run on every "iDevice". Some are customized for a specific device, or class of devices such as the iPod/iPhone with their smaller screen. Others for just the iPads for their larger screens. So the user needs to be sure they are getting an app that will work on their specific device.
And to Phoneboone, you do need to purchase the app again if it is for a different class of equipment. When you are looking at apps such as iWorks for the Mac and iWorks components for the iPad, the iPad versions are very inexpensive. Pages is only $10 (US) which is really cheap for such a good word processor that reads and saves in the MS Word format.
Anyway, search for what you need and just enjoy the convenience of so many options for apps.
