Old unwanted apps in purchased list

hi,
just wondering if there is any way at all to remove free apps that i have deleted from my purchased list on the app store? Would really appreciate suggestions/ solutions on how to do this. thanks

You can hide them so that they don't show, but they can't currently be deleted. In iTunes on your computer, if you go into the Purchased link on the iTunes store home page, if you then hover your mouse pointer over an app you should get an 'x' in the app's top left corner - click that and the app will be hidden from that screen.
Similarly on your iOS device you should be able to swipe across the app in the Purchased tab in the App Store app (I can on my iPad anyway) and you should then get a 'Hide' button which will hide it on that device

  • Delete or hide old unwanted apps in iTunes Version 12.1.1.4

    I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but over several years and several itouch, iphones and now an ipad I tried several free apps that I latter decided I didn't like or didn't want to pay the maintenance fee so I deleted the apps from the device but with then new iTunes I can't even figure out how to hide them.
    I'm finding some updates to iTunes nice but others a huge pain in the behind can some one help me hide unwanted apps from the list in iTunes 12.1.1.4.  To be honest I would prefer to delete them totally but as near as I can tell you can't.  Can someone please help me hide them, do I don't hit the little cloud icon on an app in the app store, and re-install the app I don't want.

    You are welcome. Can you select iTunes in the Music Folder and take a screen shot of it? Use the Camera icon to post the screen shot in a reply.

  • OS X Server dropped from App Store Purchases list

    On 17 October 2017, I received notification of an OS X Server 3.2.2 upgrade.  I downloaded and installed the upgrade the same day.
    After ensuring that I had a usable backup of my OS X Mavericks, I downloaded and installed OS X Yosemite today.  OS X Server 3.2.2 can't be used with OS X Yosemite.  When I checked for a newer version of OS X Server, I discovered that it was no longer in my Purchased list in the App Store.
    On 17 October 2014, the App Store Purchases list included both Lion Server and OS X Server.  After installing Yosemite, only Lion Server remains in the list.
    How does one get the OS X Server update?

    I have this issue as well. Already called Apple about it once, and also sent a supoprt request to the App Store helpdesk to at least be able to upgrade my client's servers still running 3.2.2 on Mavericks. So far no succes, their policy is that if you upgrade ANY mac associated with the server app to Mavericks, your license for 3.2.2 is REVOKED and any systems still running Mavericks will be unable to upgrade from 3.2.1 to 3.2.2
    On my server this has caused configuration profiles to no longer function, and as long as Apple doesn't reply I guess I'm stuck paying the $20. This bothers me. I know it's supposed to be cheap software but still, the usual demographic using this software are small businesses that want to manage their own software but don't have a lot of expertise. and stuff like this can really flark up their services. Apple should at least still allow people to install version 3.2.2 on their older machines.

    How do I remove apps from my app purchased list on my iphone?

    How do you remove 1) products from the "purchased" list; and 2) "the device" whether iPhone or iPad. 
    I just had to restore my iPad because the latest security update didn't install correctly; and all the old apps that I purchased re-appeared.
    STOP, for cryin-out-loud!

  • How do I remove apps from purchased list that I have deleted from phone?

    I don't want apps that I no longer have on my iPhone to still appear on my purchased listing or where it says "Not On This Phone". There must be a way to clear those completely if they are not wanted there. If not, then that would be a mistake by Apple. Is there a way to do this or not?

    You can do it, but you need to do so on iTunes.   You click Your Account and there is a way to hide past purchases.   Sorry it's a little vague but I don't have the app open - it's very easy to find though.

  • Unwanted apps in purchase history

    How can I remove unwanted apps from my ipad purchase history. I have loads of apps i've tried and rejected but they still show up in purchase history.

    Regardless, this does not work.
    I'll repeat that: this (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919) does not work.
    I work with a number of app developers and have downloaded dozens of apps in the last couple of years. Now, in iOS7, there is no way to hide previous purchases. Let me walk you through how it doesn't work:
    I log into iTunes;
    I go to the store and click on Account;
    Under iTunes in the Cloud I click on the small Manage link next to Hidden Purchases;
    I click on Apps and lo and behold! All of my hidden apps by the dozen. So many hidden apps;
    I connect and resync my iPhone, just to be sure;
    Boom! All of my purchase history... is still entirely visible and not hidden at all.
    I don't understand why this is even a thing if it doesn't do what it's supposed to. "Hide your apps? Sure! Oh wait, you meant, hide them like... so they can't be seen? Well I don't know what kind of crazy definition of "hide" you subscribe to, sir, but that's not how it works here at Apple."

  • How do I delete apps from purchased list?

    I seem to have apps on my purchased list that I didn't purchase or download. How do I delete them?

    go to purchased in itunes > then choose music, apps,... > then click X to hide them.
    they will be hided from download list and history.
    they just can be moved back from account page.
    could a bit help to avoid auto-download.

  • How to get pre-appstore apps to show in app store purchased list

    Can anyone tell me how I can add the apps that I purchased in the years before the app store went live to the 'purchased' list in the app store?

    It cannot be done. MAS apps are wrapped in Digital Rights Management which both identifies the app to the MAS app, but also ties the app to the purchaser's Apple ID.
    If you do a quick run down of the topics you will see folks complaining of "unknown" user names appearing in their MAS accounts. Those are folks with pirated MAS apps downloaded onto their Macs.

  • Old Unwanted Apps reinstall themselves

    I've had this issue for a few weeks.
    On the iPhone - I go to the app store icon and it may tell me that an installed app has an upgrade. When I click to upgrade the app all of a sudden it seems like every single app I ever downloaded starts installing and installed apps re-install. I end up with a lot of pages of unwanted apps. I then have to go to each app individually to re-uninstall it. I fear upgrading any app at all.
    Other notes... This happens without connecting to itunes on the computer. My iPhone is only sync to one computer. I have unchecked any unsyncing automatically options.
    After this happened again... I connected the iphone to my computer, and deleting things from there and uncheck any auto syncing options. I also unchecked the "check for downloads" thing in itunes.
    After much frustration - I took the nuclear option and "Erase all Content and Settings". Re-connected to itunes, etc, etc. My iphone was back to almost where it was.
    Now just yesterday, I had an app that needed an upgrade. Should I press the upgrade button or not? Yes or no? OK, I pressed it. And, darnit, it happened again. All these old apps that were uninstalled on my iPhone and from iTunes started re-installing themselves.
    Any advice?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Ray

    Didn't work. I just signed in on the iPhone (not signed in on iTunes). One app needed updating. I did NOT click "update all", but instead updated it using the app screen itself and followed the link.
    I put my password in and it began to download... moments later all those old apps even for years ago started to download. But let me say... they are not really downloading.. they are all paused. But you can't delete them until they completely download. And one more thing... Even some of my current (wanted) apps are reinstalling themselves.
    Very frustrating.

  • Is there any way to clear App Store purchase list?

    On my Mac as well as iPhone, I have tried out a lot of Apps, and a lot i never want to see again. Is there any way to clear purchases from the purchased list?

    You can hide anything that you wish to from the Purchases pane, but you can never erase history. You cannot change the fact that you bought something.

    I downloaded a free Merriam-Webster Dictionary app for use on my iphone 5.  I thought I followed the download process properly, but cannot see that the app is launched on my phone.  I have checked my phone for 'updates' and the app is listed among the ones I have purchased.  I clicked on it and it began installing, however, it still has not launched.  I get a message screen to sign in with my Apple ID, which I tried, and I get the message that I have purchased this app and it will download.  When I try to sign in, I get the message that it can't connect to the itunes store and to retry.  I've done that several times without any luck...not sure where else to look for the 'working' app.  I did try re-booting the phone...even did a 'hard reset' to no avail...help?
