HT201322 Why can't I hide purchases in devices using iOS 6?

I have just purchased an iPad for my brother to use whilst in hospital.  Unfortunately I don’t have enough money to buy him his own.  Want him to be able to use some of the apps and purchased movies, but not all of them.  Why can't I hide old and crappy apps on iOS 6 on the ipad, but can on my old crappy windows computer in iTunes?? 

As it says on the page that you posted from it's not currently possible to do it on iOS 6 - as to why not I, I don't think that Apple have said, nor whether it's only temporary.
If I hide an app via my computer's iTunes and close the App Store app on my iPad via the taskbar, then when I re-open the app it's also been hidden from its Purchased tab.

  • Why can't I delete purchased songs in new iOS 5?

    Ok, so I downloaded a "free" song, tinkering about with the new iOS 5 installed on a 3G S phone.  I sync'd phone w/Library.  Now...to delete.  Uhm...no go.  I removed from the Library TEN TIMES already.  I get the message warning me that anything on my phone, not in my library will be replaced only with items IN my library...so I continue, because this is what I want...I want it to remove the song from the phone.  Same one I deleted from library.  Nope.  I watch, as it syncs, it says its "applying changes" and it downloads the song FROM THE PHONE back INTO THE LIBRARY?!  O.o  SINCE WHEN?!  So I go search the web.  I read about clicking the manual sync option, the Sync music bit being checked/unchecked, etc., etc., all those options seem to no longer apply with the new iOS 5 behavior.  Maybe it has something to do with iCloud I think, so I turn that off.  Nope.  Still just adds the song BACK TO LIBRARY everytime I delete it and sync again.  Any ideas?
    I keep thinking of this scenario:  A child gets a new "i" toy...parents haven't had time to set parental controls before the kid has pumped it full of explicit purchases via his iTunes gift card he got with his new toy.  Not too far-fetched.  So.  Parent's have caught on.  They go to clean up the device...and CANNOT!  o.O  There has to be a way....gogo, tell me what I am missing...

    As I'm not sure why that would be happening...

  • Why can I not hide iPhone and iPad app purchases made from my iTunes account using the Mac version of iTunes?

    I have applications on my iPhone and iPad that I don't want to show up on the family sharing menu (i.e., kid inappropriate stuff). When I follow the instructions from apple support for hiding apps, my iPhone and iPad apps cannot be "X-ed" out by hovering the mouse over the app icons in iTunes. Why can't I hide these?

    You should be able to hide them, it's just that the 'x' is invisible (I assume that it's a bug with the current version of iTunes) - click on the app's top left corner where the 'x' should be, and it should become hidden.

  • Why Can't I view purchased movies on my Tv using iPad mini and lighting to VGA adoptor

    Why Can't I view purchased movies on my Tv using iPad mini and lighting to VGA adoptor

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!

  • Can we create the Purchase order that using P&L account or just using account do not use cost center.

    Dear Experts,
    Could you please advise :
    1) Can we create the purchase order that using profit and loss account ? ( if yes , which kind of account assignment category we should use ?)
    2) How to create a purchase order for service charge .( just using GL account )
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Watson

    Hi,
       May I know why you do not use cost center for consumption?
       You may create a new account assignment category in OME9 by copying K and maintain the cost center as optional. Please note that you have to maintain the item category blank and the account assignment category combination in OMG0. Now, you can use a GL account in PO which doesnt require a cost center assignment (in OBC4 against the field status group of the GL)
       You may use the same account assignment category created in the previous step with item category D, after you maintain the combination of the account assignment with item category D in OMG0.
        Please test the scenario and revert back.
    Regards,
    AKPT

  • Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    Why can't I install apps after I installed IOS 5? The app sits there waiting..

    This too started to happen to me when I upgraded iOS 5 and moved to iCloud.
    I have since purchased 3 apps and got the waiting que and nothing.
    I noticed though that with my Mac on, I went to IPad settings/general/iTunes sync and sync now, suddenly the three apps started o download and install. Why it's doing this I'm not sure until I dig a bit deeper.

  • TS3694 Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out.

    Why can't I update my iPhone 4 to iOS 5.1? Every time I try it gets all the way done downloading it; however when it's processing the file the page tells me "There is a problem downloading the software for the iPhone. Network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active. or try again later." and next to the file it has err = -3259. I have tried this 17 times and it won't work. My iTunes is completely up to date. I have made sure that my connection is fine and I have tried turning my firewall off with no avail. This has happened to me before but usually the update will go through after 2-3 tries, never to this extent. I don't know what to do. Help!

    Error -3259 is a network timeout error, usually. This article might help:

    why can I not make a secure connection using safari?

    I have the exact same problem.  I just updated to 4.3.3 and now my inline controls on my earphones don't work.  The earphones work, but the controls don't.  It doesn't even recognize that there is a mic attached.  Even with the earphones in it still uses the built in mic. Why did my controls stop working?!

  • Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser.I can download pdfs using fire

    Why can't I download a pdf file using internet explorer as my browser. I can download pdfs using firefox.

    Gilad D,
    Thanks for the support.
    I would guess the plugin is enabled since when I use Foxfire as my browser, all pdfs download and are readable. (just doesn’t happen when I use IE as my browser, I get a blank screen with a small “x” in the upper left corner)
    I will try your proposed solution.

  • Why can I upgrade my mc086bt (iPod 3g) to ios 5? it says I have the current version

    Why can I upgrade my mc086bt (iPod 3g) to ios 5? it says I have the current version

    You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1.  If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:
    Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
    or

  • Why can't I update my iPad 3G to IOS 5? It is stuck at IOS 4.2.

    Why can't I update my iPad 3G from IOS 4.2 to IOS 5? iTunes says that no upgrades are available for the iPad but it updated my iPhone 4 and iPod Touch to IOS 5.

    No idea. What exactly is it that you see when you connect to iTunes (provide complete text, please).
    But, before doing that, bring both your iPad and your computer/iTunes combination back to a 'clean' configuration; on the iPad do a Reset, on the computer at a minimum log out and in of your user account (in OS X,  or whatever the Windoze equivalent would be) or if you prefer just do a Restart. If any flags are incorrectly set anywhere that should set them back to their proper states and, if that happens, you'll be in business when you connect and will see the update available.

  • HT4623 Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6?  Memory is not an issue.

    Why can't my 1st generation iPad update to iOS 6 when memory is not an issue?

    The first gen iPad has a slower processor (A4) than the iPad 2 (dual-core A5) and iPad 3 (dual-core A5X) and 4 (A6X), and it also has less memory - 256 meg, compared to the iPad 2's 512 meg and the iPad 3 and 4's 1024 meg. My first gen iPad got noticeably slower with iOS 5 than it was with iOS 4, so I doubt that it could cope with iOS 6.

  • Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express

    Why can't I print from my iPad using airport express?

    Is the printer connected to the USB port on the AirPort Express?
    If yes, Apple does not support printing from the iPad in this manner. Try another App like Printopia which should allow the iPad to print. There is a free trial, so you will know in a few minutes whether this will work.
    Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
    Is the printer connected to the AirPort Express using wireless only?
    If yes, you must have an AirPrint compatible printer to be able to print directly from the iPad. See if your model is AirPrint compatible in this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    If your printer model appears, the printer may need a firmware update to enable the AirPrint feature. Contact the support folks at your printer manufacturer.
    If the printer does not appear, try Printopia as above.

  • Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))

    Why can't I send i-message and use facetime with my iphone 4s(BTW, there is nothing wrong with my apple account))
    It functioned well originally, but a month ago I could not use facetime and send i-message anymore. I think there is nothing wrong with my apple ID because I can still download apps in apple store.

    Try turning both iMessages and Facetime off in SETTINGS then re-enable iMessages and then Facetime. See if that helps.
