How to delete iPad/iphone apps on laptop but not anywhere else?

Hi,
i'm trying to free up room on my Macbook Air, and delete tv show episodes and large apps from itunes. When I hit delete it says
"Are you sure you want to delete the selected TV show from your iTunes library? This TV show will also be deleted from any iPod, iPhone, or iPad that synchronizes with your iTunes library."
Which i don't want - Ijust need the space back on my Macbook Air. How do I delete selectively?
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Do not worry about apps. If you delete them from iTunes, you will keep them on the iPhone, iPad and/or iPod touch and you will not get them deleted when you sync them.
However, respecting to TV shows, you will get them deleted when you sync your devices with iTunes. The only way to prevent this would be to transfer them to your MacBook, which you do not want to.
Another solution you have is to move the iTunes library to an external drive, so you do not have to delete anything and you will get free space. Also, it is good to keep a copy of your apps and TV shows on your Mac in case you need to copy them back to your devices

How to delete events in iCal on Mac, but not from iPhone

Hi everyone,
I have a reminder set to my phone for something everyday which is great because it's the first thing I look at in the morning. But I don't want this event plastered all over my iCal on my computer as it's unnecessary to see it there. But of course, since I sync my iPhone with this computer, it always ends up there too.
Is there a way to sync only certain events, but not all of them? Sometimes I want to do the opposite, where I need to see a reminder on my computer for work, but don't need it popping up on my phone.
Thanks for any help you can give!

use the following article to delete an icloud calendar event:

How to Delete 32 Bit Version of CS6 (but not removing 64 bit version)?

I created a bit of a problem. I have CS6 on a Win 7 64-bit system. I originally installed only the 64 bit version, but then several months later I installed the 32 bit version (don't ask why). Now the following file types are associated with teh 32 bit version: tif, tiff, psd and cr2 (I have associated jpg with a different program, so they are not a problem). I have tried to change the file association by (1) using Control Panel > Default Programs > Associate a file type to associate with the 64 bit version and (2) specifiying the default program from the context menu when right clicking on a file. All to no avail, as these files remain associated with the 32 bit version of CS6.
So I decided to uninstall the 32 bit version. But that won't work either. As you can see from the image, below, I can uninstall the 64 bit version but not the 32 bit version, which is the exact opposite of what I want to do.
I will be happy for any suggestions, either to uninstall the 32 bit version or to get Windows to make the association between the tif, psd and cr2 files and the 64 bit version of CS6.
Thanks for your help.
Best regards,
David

Because it's a text report and not a selectable list. BTW, just leave them, they only waste a small bit of disk space and don't affect performance.

Hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "x" on the one you want to delete.
Note that the built-in apps cannot be deleted.

Delete Apps from MacBook but not from iPhone

How can I delete Apps from iTunes but not from iPhone 3GS when I Sync them? The moment I delete the Apps from iTunes and then sync iPhone, iPhone deletes them as well.
Please assist.

If you intend to ever sync your phone with your Macbook then you can't delete the app from your Macbook, otherwise the apps will also delete from your iPhone (as you've discovered).

How to delete an old app in DPS App Builder?

Hi,
I was wondering how to delete an old app in DPS App Builder when the delete button is inactive?
I had purchased a single edition and build an iPad App. After download the Developer app from DPS App Builder and tested on my iPad, I'd found some page number errors so I'd created a new app. Inorder to activate app, I need to insert the serial number. But it says "this serial number already been redeemed". Is it because I already use it to build the old app? If so, how to delete the old app because the delete button is inactive for the old app but the new one?
Thank you so much for your kindly help, really appreciated!!!

You need to call product support and have them reset your serial number. In the future you should test your content thoroughly using Adobe Content Viewer before building your app with the serial number. We make it rather painful to update when you are using a serial number for single edition

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Hi Suresh,
Thank you for your reply.
Devices should appear in the top right of iTunes, as seen in this image:
From:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Connect a device
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12449
If you do not see your iOS device in this menu when you connect it to your computer, it may not be recognized by iTunes. In this case, I recommend the troubleshooting steps in this article:

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Did you fail to back up your pics?
The photo sync is one way - comptuer to ipod.
You can e-mail them to yourself (instructions in the manual), but they will not be of the original quality.

Double click home button, then swipe up on app picture (not the icon itself)
