  • How to remove apps from iTunes after they have been removed from iPod Touch

    If I remove an app from my iPod Touch, they still exist in iTunes. After a while, they can add up and take up lots of space on my computer. What's the easiest way to remove ALL apps that no longer exist on my iPod Touch but are still in iTunes? I currently just manually go through the list to delete them from iTunes, which seems to work, but is there a better, more efficient way?

    Anna,
    Your suggestion of using the Control key does not work on a Mac.
    On a Mac, one can:
    1. Use your Command-(Apple) key to select items that are not in consecutive order. It's appropriately called a "non-consecutive select".
    2. Use your Shift key to select consecutive items.
    3. Or use your mouse to perform what's called a "lasso" select. Click your mouse/clicker down while dragging over the items you'd like to select, and then drag them to the trash.
    Gramps.

  • Remove app from Profile Manager

    hello there,
    Having set up my Lion Server with several users, I was testing the pushing of apps. It works just flawless.
    But after playing I wanted to delete all the test apps I uploaded.
    I can't find any option to delete them. Only a link on internet to delete it in the database.
    Weird, one should be able to delete something?
    Even, when I upload my first App, and then one day later the same App, but a newer file, still the old date of the first upload is in the App list.
    Do I miss something?
    Please helpme!

    this will leave "null" entries but clear the rest
    Apple needs to fix.  One of the reasons I stopped using Profile Manager and switched to Meraki.

  • Removing Apps from iPhone using iTunes Apps Sync Apps doesn't work

    Im trying to manage the space on my iPhone 4 16GB, so when I go on hiloday I have enough space for photos and vacation movies.
    When plugged in, iTunes shows my apps in the Apps tab. (it actually shows an extra page of apps which are not installed on my phone)
    In iTunes I used to hover over an app, click the x to remove, confirm the prompt to delete and finally, sync. The app was gone from my phone.
    Now this doesnt work.
    The other way was to uncheck the app from my list of apps (in iTunes Apps tab), and then sync.
    This doesnt work either.
    I'm sure I used to use this method previously.
    This is especially handy because itunes lists the applications by size, so I can easily see the ones that will free up the most space.
    Is there any way to remove apps from the iPhone WITHOUT DOING IT ON THE PHONE?
    Note: I have 'Sync Apps' ticked & 'automatically sync new apps' unticked.
    Im running:
    Macbook Air 2012
    OS X 10.8.1 64 Bit
    Itunes 10.7(21) 64 Bit
    iPhone 4 iOS 6.0 (10A403)

    Are the apps in your iTunes library using the same AppleID as the one signed into on your phone?

  • HT5919 How do I remove apps from App Store after update in IOS7?

    After app update, all app icons are remaining in App Store. Is there a way to remove the icons as in iOS 6?

    There is no way to remove apps from your purchase history. It simply cannot be done. You can HIDE apps from the purchased tab, but you can NEVER delete them.
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Support - Apple
    As for the updates not clearing, try closing the App Store app and reboot your iPad,
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How do I remove apps from my app store history after I have deleted them from my iPad?

    After trying an app and deciding that is isn't what I want and deleting it, I see that it still shows up when I look at my "purchased" apps in the App Store.  I'd like to purge them from my device's history.  I don't want them saved or backed up by iTunes, if that could even happen.
    Also, App Store on my iPad always shows on its icon that I have more updates than I can find when I  go into App Store.  For example it may show 2 updates available, but when I go into App Store it says all apps are updated, yet the icon still shows 2 when I return to the home screen.  Is this related to the issue above?
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?

    I have hidden unwanted books from the purchased area of the iBooks store, but they're are still appearing on the front page of iOS as cloud downloads, is there a way to remove these from iBooks without using the hide iCloud books button?
    Let me explain a little more. I had downloaded a lot of free books in the past as a trial when iBooks was first released and since then I have decided I no longer want them, because of this I hid them from the purchased section of the iBooks store. The 5 books left are ones I decided to keep as seen in the following picture.
    This is how it appears in iBooks on my mac. There are 4 books downloaded and 1 book that I have decided not to download at this time. I would still like to keep this book available in the cloud incase I want to download it again in the future. You’ll notice that hide iCloud books is not selected, if I wanted to hide the book that I have chosen to keep in the cloud, but have not downloaded yet I could.
    This is exactly how I think this feature should work. If you have hidden a book from your purchases it should not show up in the mac Ibooks app. (I am aware you can never actually delete a purchase, just hide them and that hidden purchases can be restored to your account from within the account management section of the iBooks store).
    The iOS app is working differently for me. Here is a picture of the purchased tab on the iBooks store in iOS Ibooks. Again notice that pictures of Lilly is still yet to be downloaded. This is how I expected it to look.
    If we visit the front page of iOS iBooks the view is very different from what I expected. Here we can see the 4 books I wanted to keep on my device and have downloaded. We can also see the 1 book I wanted to keep, but did not want to store locally on the device and left in iCloud (Pictures of Lilly). However we can also see all the books I had hidden from the purchased section of my iTunes account and which I believe should no-longer be visible, Dracula, frankenstein etc…
    I am aware of the hide iCloud books button within the iOS app, but I did not need to use this to hide the books I had removed from the my purchased section of the iBooks store on the mac, why are they still appearing in iOS?
    I’m still not sure if this is a software glitch or not. This article suggests to me that books can be hidden, but I had already completed these steps.
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201322
    A browse of google also suggests people may have been able to hide past purchases from the front page of iBooks on iOS in the past.
    In case there was an issue with syncing I tried logging in and out of my iTunes account via settings in iOS. Force closing the app, disabling automatic downloads and removing my device from iTunes in the cloud. Syncing with iTunes on the mac did not correct the issue either.
    Interestingly I have the same issue on my iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3 as I do on my iPad mini suggesting that this might be an issue either with my account or with iOS iBooks software in general.
    If there is a way to remove the already hidden iBooks in your account from the front page of iBooks on iOS without using the hide iCloud downloads button? Please help community!

  • Few problems with the dock. Creating App stack, and removing apps from dock

    OK.. I am running leopard 10.5.4, and decided I wanted to use the app folder as a stack. I made my new folder with the alias' inside. However, when I went to move it into the dock, 9on the right side of the sizing bar), the other stacks failed to shift out of the way, so I couldn't add it in.
    Another problem is that I can't see to remove apps from the dock. I have admin rights, and they are not active, hence the desire to get rid.
    Anyone have an idea??

    Erm... Doh! had dock 'locked' in Onyx...

    Iphone 4, remove apps,from computer,have removed from phone

    I will try to explain, I have a iphone 4S.  The iOS is 6.1.3 .  I KNOW how to remove unwanted apps from said phone. This is the question:  How do you get them off my computer? They are ones I don't use any more. They are not on my phone. I hope I explained it this time.  PS: could you pass it on if you don't know the answer. I am not very computer or Phone savey.

  • Author removes app from store, removed also from phone!

    App disappeared from phone. Checked "purchased" list (all), it was not there. Searched app store, not there. Author's web site down.
    The logical conclusion is the author removed the app from the store and, consequently, it was removed from my phone. I don't pay much attention to updates, just hit "go", so I am not sure when it happened.
    Fortunately, I still had it in the library on my computer, so I was able to restore it by syncing.
    My question is if this is really how it is supposed to work. That would be a BIG problem. 
    Thanks

    After it's removed from the store, the app will simply stop updating. You'll be left with the currently installed version. I know this to be true, because I still have the VLC app on my iPhone, even though it was removed from the store.
    It's entirely possible that Apple has the ability to remotely remove apps from iPhones. I wouldn't be shocked to hear that such a capability exists. I would be shocked if it was actually used, however.
    Even if you remove the app from your iPhone by mistake, the synced/backed up copy should still remain in iTunes (assuming you synced your iPhone at some point prior to removing the app):
