HT201272 How to delete previously purchased apps?

I downloaded some apps that, after exploring, found I didn't want. I deleted them but they still show up as purchased and ready to reinstall. I know I never want to reinstall so how do I delete them from this list?

You don't.
You can hide them.

HT201272 how to get previous purchased apps

How can I get back previous purchased apps on my iphone 3gs?

You should be able to do it as described on the page that you posted from, assuming that they are still in the store e.g. via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your phone, or via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (which you can then sync to your phone).

When looking at my purchased apps within the app store, there is a section for "Not on This iPhone". How do I permanently delete previously purchased apps that I never want to see/use again?

How do I permamently delete previouly purchased apps from showing up in the "Not on This iPhone" section of the app store?

These apps aren't showing up in iTunes. They only show up in the purchased list on my iPhone. But I guess there is no way to hide them in the App Store view?

How to delete a purchased app and re load

how do I delete and re load an purchased app on my Mac that is not working

I can't even find the app with another app the developers created for that exact purpose! ;-) However, the App Store still thinks it's installed. That something is "installed" seems almost irrelevant So what? Why should that prevent its being downloaded again by the same person/computer?
If an app becomes corrupted, it may or may not corrupt whatever it is that the App Store uses to verify it was/is installed. I'm beginning to think that the only thing the Store really knows is that a certain user-name and Apple ID combination actually downloaded something. Whether it got installed correctly is not even know by the Store. All it really knows is that the download was complete.
Even Lion has a "Reciepts" folder, it's in the boot drive Libbrary. However, it appears to have fewer ".pkg" files as in previous versions of the OS. Instead, there is a "InstallHistory.plist" That file is a simple XML file listing (amongother items) the date, diaplyName, displayVersion, packageIdentifiers and processName for every installed app. All that data is in a <dict></dict> group. There's really nothing else in there and I may copy the current one and edit out the reference to the app I'm trying to re-download. At least that may indicate what the App Store looks at to decide what's "Installed" whether any scraps of the aps files are on the drive or not! If this works, I'll create a new thread about it as well as post back here.

Hello, cbyoo.
Great question and yes you can. Most items that are purchased from the App and iTunes store can be redownload at no additional charge. Below I have provided the instructions on how to process this.

HT201272 I downloaded a previously purchased app. I have the receipt for the in app purchase, yet the game wants to charge me again to unlock. What do I do?

I have downloaded a past purchase from the app store through iTunes. It was a trial game that you unlock with an in app purchase. I paid the price and unlocked it months ago and still have the receipt.
When I try to restore the purchase, the in-app unlock is no longer working and the App Store wants to charge me another $4.99.
What do I do?

You CANNOT download music again.
You buy one and only one download. It is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use your backup copy to put the music back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod. File>Transfer Purchases

How can I see the previously purchased Apps after changing region?

I recently changed the the region of my Apple ID and now none of the previously purchased apps are showing up in Purchased info even if I delete and download them again. Before I changed the region I downloaded the free app called Constellation on my iPad, but upgraded it to Pro after changing region. Now when I installed it to my iPhone, it doesn't have the Pro license and asks me to buy it again.

once you connect the new iPhone, iTunes should ask you if you want to restore the backup of your old one. you can also redownload your purchased app over and over free of charge: How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

There is nothing that you can do to get rid of the balance on your own. Contact iTunes Store Support and seek their assistance. I believe that they can reset your balance for you.

Ringtones (and audiobooks) can't currently be re-downloaded from the store. If they are no longer on your device then have you not got them on your computer and/or on a backup ?

HT201272 Attempting to "update"/reinstall previously purchased apps

In attempting to "update"/reinstall many of my previously purchased apps, a "download" feature does not appear, only an "open." I am only be able to access them via the iTunes/App store - I can open them, but not reinstall them. Am I doing something wrong? (I have a 4s, which was just updated to 6.)

All apps, all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps.
In order to install an app update with the iTunes account that was used to download the apps, you must use that iTunes account and password.

How do I download previous purchased apps on a new device without credit information.

Is there anyway to download my previously purchased apps from my iPad mini to my iPad 2 without using a computer? The problem is I lost my purse or it was stolen and I am waiting for a new credit card via snail mail. What do I do in the mean time?

You should be able to access them via the App Store app under the Purchased menu

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

HT5085 Previously Purchased Apps No Longer Available

Hi everyone,
I've switched places of residence from Russia to Ukraine (subsequently changing required address information) in the Apple ID form after Ukraine had appeared in "the list of ICountries" using my new MacBook Pro (Retina). That went well. However, now I can't retrieve none of the previously purchased apps neither on my iPhone nor on my MacBook. On both devices, the iTunes' "Purchased" link leads to an empty list of previously purchased apps. Not fair, given that I had purchased a ton of apps in the past.
My iPhone and MacBook are authorised, and all other configurations seem in place. I still see what used to be my apps in the Purchase History. Am I missing something? Or is it just how it is now?
I'd be more than happy to get back my apps. Please help.

When you change accounts to another country, you no longer can use past purchases from the cloud from the former. International restrictions here...
