ITunes keeps offering updates for deleted Apps

I have a problem with App Updates in iTunes. There are 6 applications, which I tried, but then uninstalled and removed from iPhone and iTunes library. Still iTunes shows me that I have 6 updates available and when I look at them they all are for the applications I have uninstalled and don't care anymore. How do I stop it from showing updates for deleted Apps?
Thank you!
Konstantin

Does anyone have an answer for this, as I am having the same issue. The apps are not on my phone or in my itunes account, but when i check my available updates, two updates for apps I no longer have automatically start downloading. It has done this for a few weeks. I have tried allowing the updates to download and then re-remove the apps, but then the same thing will happen with the same 2 updates the next day.

I deleted an app downloaded from the Mac App Store, Mac App Store is showing an update for deleted app.

I downloaded Blackmagic Speed Disk from the Mac App store last year. Its not a pirated copy or anything. I deleted the app cause I never used it. After I deleted the app the Mac App Store shows an available update for the deleted app. When I click update, it just re-downloads the app. Cant figure out how to completly get rid of it. I uninstalled the app and then used easy file finder to delete the app's files completely. How do I get rid of the annoying Update??? Thanks

Hide the app from your Purchases list. Sign into your account (Store menu). Go to Purchases pane, right click on the app in question, Hide the app.

I keep gettin updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update all it starts the update and then pops up and tells me that the application cannot be downloaded at this time. I have had to delete a few apps bc this isn't working.

I keep getting updates from my app store but yet when I go in and update it starts the process but then a message pops up that says the download cannot be done at this time. I have had to delete a few apps because of this. I have also signed out and signed back into my account and turned my phone on and off and still does the same thing. Help!

Hi tmcrae
First check that your device is not full, maybe you may have to delete some photos or apps to make space to do updates. if its not full then you will have to try pluging it into your pc/mac running itunes then doing a backup and restore. Then you should be able to do your updates.
Sorry but i cant think of any other way if its showing as installed already but is not there.
Hope that helps

I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out.

I keep getting updates for my itunes for 11.0.2 but it errors out every time. Can you help.

You don't have to update to iOS 6.0.1. A few iOS 6 users have reported problems, but most have not. However, for my iPad 2 I'm waiting until iOS 6.1 is released. iOS 6 doesn't add that much for the iPad 2, and it subtracts YouTube and Google Maps apps.

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!

If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

How do I download updates for my apps in iTunes 11.0? I can't find a button or menu item anymore?

HT201380 Why is The Apple App Store offering me an update for an app I don't have?

Why is the App Store offering me updates for an App I don't have? Specifically, Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 ?

Welcome,
If this is for the Remore Desktop Client Update then you do have it - it's built in to OSX and is used when you want to use VNC clients.
If it's for Apple Remote Desktop then is't for the Admin App that drives the above client and is a paid for product. If you didn't buy this then it shouldn't appear. If it has lucky you!

App update for an app I never bought

I have both Angry Birds and Angry Birds Space for my iPhone, but never bought the app for my Macbook Pro.
Recently I have gone on to the Mac App Store and found an update for Angry Birds, which I found rather odd.
When I click update - it comes up with the log in box, and a completely different apple ID to mine. I contacted support and got this response:
Hello Matthew,

Thank you for contacting iTunes Store Customer Support. I hope that you continue to enjoy the iTunes Store. Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Now to me, support should know what they are doing. And referring me to a community forum - surely isn't going to help? That's what I think anyway, but I'm here so I am hoping someone knows what's going on - can help me/know what I need to do to get rid of it.
Oh and I tried putting my own apple ID and hitting update - but that comes up saying "store error".

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Unfortunately she has been misdirecting folks with that update bug link for far too long.
Candidly, when you see the Apple ID for a stranger appear in the Mac App Store (MAS) on your Mac regarding an update for an app that you haven't bought, it is a notice that you have a pirated app that you got from an outside source. Some trial version or a "free" version is actually a MAS version that someone has cracked and is distributing.
Finding a pirated app
All MAS apps have a MAS receipt in their app bundle. Check any app acquired from the MAS. Right click on the app's icon in your Apps folder and choose Show package contents. In the Contents folder is a _MASReceipt folder and in that folder is the coded MAS receipt. It has the Apple ID of the MAS account that bought/acquired the app from the MAS. It is that receipt that the MAS uses to alert you that an app has an update. There would not be a notice of an update with someone else's Apple ID showing in the MAS on your Mac, if there was not an app with a receipt from this person's account somewhere on your Mac.
Download the free app FindAnyFile (FAF);
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
This app is easier to use and seems to be more powerful than Spotlight. Open FAF and in the box type _MASReceipt and press Find. It should come up with a list of every app on the Mac with a MAS receipt. Compare the apps with receipts in FAF's list with your purchased apps list in the Mac App Store. The odd app out should be the pirated app.

TS1702 I had updates for some apps I already had ,but the updates started installing ,and they have been in the waiting mode now for about a week. What do I do ?

I had some updates for several apps ,when I installed them they went to waiting ,and ,have been that way for about a week,What do I do now ?

If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

How do I keep my toddler from deleting apps and contacts when playing on iphone

My son has recently become interested in the toddler apps I have on my phone. Unfortunately, he also plays outside these apps... he knows how to use the home button and swipe and has zero concept of what the actions and consequences are of what he is doing. Recently he accidentally deleted a couple of his games and a few of my contacts just by "playing" on the phone. The point of having him use it is to keep him occupied when I have other things I need to get done so I am looking for a way to restrict his access to all but the apps I would like him to use. Is there an app for that?

@carrie10471 I certainly don't think you need parenting advice - I have the same issue and I just found under Settings, then under General, then under Restrictions, you'll have to set a pass code but then you'll see something for deleting apps - turn that off and you'll notice you can't delete apps anymore. You can easily turn it back on whenever you want. Just remember that pass code. I watch my son when he uses the IPad but it takes like 2 secs to delete an app - so I like this feature. Good luck :-)

Software update in mountain lion offers updates for iPhoto and iMovie that will not install

Updated my iMac 2011 to Mountain Lion. Software Update now operates through the App Store. Third Party apps are OK but Apple's native Mac apps eg iPhoto, iMovie offer updates for installation that do not install.
Get this error eg for iMovie but similar for iPhoto and maybe others:
"We could not complete your update. iMovie is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
If you do as suggested, it reloads App Store software update and goes round again...
If I go to "Check for updates" in the iMovie menu it tells me it's the current version.
"This version of iMovie (9.0.8) is the current version."
The badge showing the count of apps requrining an update is also wrong.

Hi, just wondering, were any of Apple's Apps moved from there default location?

After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled.

After updating to Mavericks and trying to updates for my apps I get : This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled. My apple id has always been .mac but after the update I used .me. Are these not synonymous?

Hi everyone yesterday I was experiencing the same problem I am glad to share its fixed now for me
"This issue is only related to our Apple ID and to to those specific apps which we already have on phone or had installed on phone before except for those apps which we already have in purchase history AppStore>Updates>Purchase(on iPhone) History(having cloud icon next to them) it's something related to our purchase data
*ITS NOT RELATED TO PHONE OR MAC!
*RESETTING OR UPDATING THE DEVICE WONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
(As in my case it was on iPhone 4 7.1.1 iPhone 5s 7.0.3 and iTunes of course )
Here is how I got it fixed
I contacted apple support via chat method and I asked about a solution giving my info.she told me that she submitted my application and in order to resolve this I should not be using my AppStore ID for any purchase for at least 30mins as doing so may not resolve the issue so I checked it after couple hours and it's fixed
(As I read in some other discussions that some people asked for solution from apple support and they told them to reset the device or so.. You may need to make your statement clear that it's appearing both on iTunes and iPhone )
