How to delete an Update for an App that is not loaded on phone?

I have an App Update for an application that is not (and has never been - to my knowledge) loaded on my phone!
How do I get rid of this update?
OR should I install it, or try to install and then delete the App. (if it loads).
This update does NOT show on iTunes site when the phone is connected. (not sure if it would show updates anyway).
It's a casino games application - so if I install and delete will I get inundated with unwanted gaming Apps?
And why should I get an update for an App that is not loaded - is this a software glitch, or just speculation by the writers to get some money????
This phone was pre-owned by family member, and all the updates to date have been for Apps that I have downloaded, during the year or so of my use.

Hey darwinobambino,
It seems like you are asking about how to delete some an album on your iPhone. If this album is one that you have downloaded, then you can use the following article to help you delete it:
iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
Remove a song that’s been downloaded. Swipe left, then tap Delete. The song is removed from iPhone, but remains available from iCloud.
View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
Regards,
Braden

Mac App Store problem - I have an update for an app that do not exist in my Mac

Hi, I have an update for an app that I never didn't bought before in my Mac App Store.
Thats happen before more than a year, I tried everything including updating the app (got an error) and format the Mac but the update for this app didn't remove.
the problem is maybe in my Apple account so I need your help, is there any way to remove this update?

You may have 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 could prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app could be "Final Cut Pro." 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

CC showing updates for CC apps that are NOT part of my subscription

Ok,
Aside from the massive annoyance with the duplicate versions (why didn't they just include both plugin system for a couple of versions?), I've got "updates" for apps that are NOT part of my CC subscription showing up. I have a full suite of CS6 installed, but only the Photographers bundle for CC. Yet I'm showing Illustrator and InDesign CC (2014) as available. It also shows TWO lightroom 5's - one up to date, and one that needs an update.
What gives?

That still doesn't explain why I'm seeing two different lightroom installations in the CC list - one up to date, and one that's available. I've previously installed/updated Lightroom through CC by the way. But when I do run Lightroom it also prompts me to upgrade (which I haven't done either). Something looks badly broken in the LR update process.
And it doesn't address the available updates for applications (InDesign and Illustrator CS6) that aren't part of my CC subscription. Since I'm now at the mercy of the CC licensing servers, I'm rather hesitant to risk corrupting my entitlements by doing anything until I understand why my entitlements are incorrect.
Can you help me understand why they are incorrect?

This time I done it again because I could not open my web site, the server has blocked me and I was trying everything including deleting cash from mac. Please advise me what to do..?!? Thanks in advance.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

I continue to receive an App upgrade notice for an App that is not on my computer. Apple Tech support has no explanation or solution. This has only occurred after upgrading to Lion. How do I stop this?

I continue to receive an App upgrade notice for an App that is not on my computer. After spending several hours with a variety of divisions (Lion,iTunes,iPad,iMac) of Apple Tech Support, none can give me any definitive explanation or solution. Prior to my recent upgrade to Lion, this did not occur. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how did you resolve the issue?

You get an update notice for an app that is not installed on your Mac. Is there a stranger's Apple ID also appearing on your Mac related with this update?
If so, you have a pirated app on your Mac. If not, it should be another issue.

How do i get refunded for the apps that no longer work due to the fact i cant upgrade my phone?

how do i get refunded for the apps that i purchased that no longer work due to the fact i cant upgrade my 3.1.3 iphone

I have never bought an app but on all other things Apple somewhere has in tiny print the system requirements for running the software. If you're going to live in the world of outdated technology the way I do, you will quickly learn to always read system requirements.

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

HT2534 How does one get reimbursed for an app that has been immediately deleted after download and open?

How does one go about getting that accomplished?
Thanks - George

Dear telwow,
Apple did not do anything to solve this problem, they said I shoud apply to ITunes which I did. However, ITunes in Belgium does not even have a customer friendly call center, and they reply with standard info if you apply by e-mail which have no relevance to my problem. As I do not have hours to spend on the phone, I tasked my secretary to call Itunes many times. In the end, she found someone to look into the matter which took months.
Simultaneously, I applied to VISA through my bank for fraud investigation. I had to cancel my credit card. In the end, VISA paid my money back and they said they will deal with ITunes. I received a new credit crad from VISA with a new number. I tried to use this new card in the ITunes but ITunes did not accept my card because in their system my name has been registered as if I have commited the fraud! This was again outrageus! I have complained about this to both Belgium and the USA Apple/ITunes, but no satisfactory answer was given. I am now using my wife's credit card to buy smth I want in ITunes. But because of my very unpleasant experience I am not buying much on ITunes store. I am also considering to quit Apple all together. This is unfortunate because I have been an apple fan until I had this experience.
Many thanks for sharing your problem.
Mustafa

How do I get credit for an app that wouldn't download and I had to delete?

I bought an app and it downloaded to my iPhone but then wouldn't even open. I had to finally delete it and purchase a different one. It was a cheap one - only 99 cents - but if a lot of people are out 99 cents, that's a lot of dough. How do I get credit?

The App I have only has a "Share" button; which is linked to the "Mail" App that's on the iPad. Problem is, that's the only way of sharing the file, through the Mail App. The problem is, the file is too big and long to share via mail. There has to be some someftware to extract that audio file from that App because it only supports sharing through Mail
