How do you remove the "purchased" items in the "not on this iPhone" tab in the app store icon?
I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone. These are apps that I tried and didn't like or didn't work or were useless or whatever. There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them. This is a waste of resources on the iPhone, iTunes and my efforts.
"I want to permanently remove old deleted apps from the "purchased" list in the update section of the app store icon on my iPhone."
You cannot.
"There does not seem to be any logical reason to keep a record or history of them around since they would not have been deleted if I still wanted them." it does not need to be logical to you for it to make sense.
It is a history of ALL purchases.
People would be complaining that they mistakenly deleted it and now could never get their app back. The entire point is to have access to any and all past purchases.
Maybe when the final product is released you will get your wish.

The purchased items it is not showing all applications
I HAVE IPHONE 4S 16GB
WHEN I GO TO APP STORE FROM THE IPHONE TO THE PURCHASED ITEMS IT IS NOT SHOWING ALL APPLICATION WHICH ONE I DOWNLOADING
PLEASE I WANT A SOLUTION.Hi, rsvip7.
I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close. Test the results after processing these steps by attempting to access your previous purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

If the issue persists, I would verify which Apple ID was used to make the purchases you are unable to locate. If the application is located on your computer, you can either Right-Click and Get Info on the selected media for Windows or Control-Click and Get Info for Mac. The Apple ID that was used to purchase the media will be on the Summary tab. You can also verify what Apple ID it was purchased with by accessing your purchase history by following the steps below.

If the account used to purchase the missing content is different, you will need to login with that Apple ID in order to access prior purchases.

No matter how many times I reset my password, it will not work when trying to sign intothe App Store through my iPhone4S.
What is the error that you are seeing? Try to login using another App like GameCenter or iMessage? Also try logging in to other Apps like Facebook to check if it is your Internet connection problem.

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:

I havae purchased a new notebook and am getting my old MacBook Pro ready to submit to the recycle program at Apple. The list of "to-do's" asks that you remove all your personal info and take the notebook back to it's original settings. Does ayone have any advise on how to do this?
Boot from the original OS installer disk and do an Erase & Install.
When the Mac reboots into Mac Setup Assistant you quit and shut it down.
It's now a brand new Mac... just like when you got it.

How do you remove a purchase from iCloud
Is there away to remove apps, purchases from iCloud ?
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
Hope this helps and easy to follow!
Please let me know if this works for you.
Thanks

I have a iPhone 5 with the most up to date software and I have songs appearing on my phone that I've deleted prior too from iTunes on the computer. How do I remove them from my phone, I've tried the left to right swipe and that just plays the songs! :/ Can anyone help me, I'd be forever grateful if I didn't have to go back to the store! I went I today abc he unchecked the show all music and there's still songs I don't want on my iPhone! :(
The answer to the question in the title of the thread is yes, but it is not necessarily a good idea. At some point you are likely to find you need to restore your iPod for one reason or another, or it could be lost, stolen or damaged. If your songs aren't on your computer, and backed up too, then you will be less than happy.

How do you remove songs from icloud so space not taken on devise?
I downloaded my current purchases and previous purchases into my icloud on my ipad . I did not know it would take up the space on the ipad. But, I cannot figure out how to edit these songs in icloud so that All the purchases are not there. How do I go back to fix and specify what songs should be downloaded to limit space? I don't see the benefit of doing this, when i could have kept my "purchase playlist" to sync anyway.
That worked thanks! I also discovered that you can hold the album cover art down(like when you want to delete an app) and an "x" pops up to delete the entire album or artists. That makes it easy to get rid of my wifes Pop music. Thanks again.

How can you remove redundant T&E messages in notes?
Hi all,
I would like to know how you can remove redundant T&E messages in notes?
I have two messages that constantly appear when i want to approve expenses:
1) "check expense report trip no..."
2) "workitem: check if expense claim no... can be approved."
I tried searching in SU01 and PRMD to access the organizational data of the user. But i can't seem to find where lies the problem in receiving those messages.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks.
Regards,
Pamela.just do as the messages tell you. Check the expense trip (probably something wrong with the values according to the customizing).
And check the workitem -
Help please! Question is in topic. I haven't been able to figure this out.
i guess i just wasn't waiting long enough. after about a half-hour, songs began to update. i hope this is not normal and is only happening the first time.

How do you get previously purchased items to my iphone
So after iOS 5, I thought you were supposed to have the ability to download previous songs and tv shows onto my phone (no matter how long ago you bought them). I cannot do this. When I use the music application and go to purchased, it says I have nothing purchased? Does anyone have a similar problem?
Thanks in advance.
