Removing offensive reviews from the App Store

I'm wondering if it is possible to have a review removed if it contains offensive material. I don't care if the rating still affects the "score" of my application but there were comments posted that are not relevant to the application and are patently offensive to the audience of the application.
(Search for DV Awareness and examine the reviews and you'll see what I mean)
Do any of you know if there is any recourse for this situation?
Thanks!

That's what "Report a Concern" is for, like you asked in your other post.

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store?

How do I remove unwanted updates from the App Store? So you understand better what I'm referring to:
I have the App Store icon in the Dock. When there's an update a red number appears on said icon. Well, I went to check on the updates and it's for 4 different applications I either no longer have or use. One of them is an update for Lion OS users. I'm still on Snow Leopard, so it doesn't even apply to me.
So there they sit... I'm not going to download the updates... so how do I get rid of them?

Hi Andy ..
no longer have or use
If there are updates available for apps you have deleted, try this.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Move the Cache.db and Updates files from the com.apple.appstore folder to the Trash.
Empty the Trash, restart your Mac.
For any apps you still have installed but do not use, the updates will still be available from the Updates top of the App Store window and show on the red badge on the App Store icon in the Dock.

Is there a way to remove installed updates from the App Store update window? I keep getting an alert that I have an update for Apple Remote Desktop. It says its installed, but the alert and the app keep showing up. Annoying!!

Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com. You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

How do I remove an old apple ID from the APPS Store

I gave my 27 inch iMac to my dad and thought I had everything deleted off my IMAC before I gave it to him. I created an Apple ID for him; however, when we try to download updates from the APP Store it comes up with my old apple ID and asks me for the password to my old apple ID. We are able to log into ICoud and ITunes using his new apple ID but for some reason the old apple ID keeps coming up in the APP Store box when we try to download an update and the old apple ID is "grayed out" in the APP Store box and we cannot type over it. If we open up the app store and use the drop down menu, we are able to type in his new apple ID and purchase apps. I have tried signing out of the APP Store and ICloud and iTunes and the APP Store will not let go of my old original apple ID. An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID" and I have never heard of a user ID that could not be deleted or changed!!! I am a former long time PC user and I like the Apple products, but the whole iCloud, Apple ID business seems very complicated to me. I am dreading carrying a 27 inch computer to the Apple store to fix something that should not be so complicated.

An apple ID is nothing more than a "User ID"
Actually, it is more than that. If you read the licensing agreements for any OS version or app obtained at the app store, it will become clear: the license for any app or OS obtained at the app store is not transferable. Hence it is tied to your Apple ID and will remain so - it cannot be removed.
You are supposed to remove anything obtained at the app store from the computer before giving/selling it. Your father will also not be able to reinstall the OS if need be.
Which OS version was on the Mac originally? You will need to use internet recovery (Command + Option + R) to erase your drive and then reinstall the original OS (if Lion or later). If it came with an install DVD, boot from that, erase the drive and reinstall. After that, your father can very easily download/update/reinstall any OS or app using his own Apple ID.

HT204266 How can I remove my credit card information from the app store?

How can I remove my credit card information from the app store? I would like to have an account without the credit card information.
I would like to put in my credit card only when I am ready to purchase.

On your computer's iTunes you should be able to edit your payment info by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should be a payment link. If you are doing it on your phone then tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should also give you a payments link on your account's page.
Changing payment info : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1918
If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen then do you owe iTunes anything or have any pre-orders/subscriptions due : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5366 ?

Before removing iPhoto (latest update crashed the app), I accidently removed it from my purchased Apps from the App Store. I accept iPhoto when I search for it, but does not put it back in my list. How do I get this back so that I can reinstall iPhoto?

Thank you.

I found the answer just after posted this. Thanks to a user named CloudWalker. Solution is to go in AppStore, View Account under "Store" Menu and unhide any purchases.

You can use iCloud with 10.7.5. You do not need to upgrade to Yosemite. You should provide a minimum of 15 GBs of free space or 10% of the hard drive's capacity, whichever is greater.
Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.

Critical Functionality Apps Removed From the App Store?????

If it was not for Wifitrak (wifi scanner), which I have been using for over a year and a half, the Ipod Touch would not have become such an invaluable tool. I had almost gave up on using my Ipod Touch daily because the Apple scanner is so poor. It is no different since the IOS 4 update which I unfortunately recently allowed to update.
Now I at a loss since I figured I would just go to the App store and download 2.6 which from I understand fixes the problem. But it seems ALL wifi scanners including wifitrak have been removed. I see what seems to be thousands of kiddie apps but something so critical has been removed?
Why would Apple remove such a valuable tools that are so integral to my/users daily use. How can I get version 2.6 of wifitrak from the app store or a code safe wifi scanner?
thx

I sure hope Apple will GET the message and vastly upgrade their Wi-Fi Networker Scanner. It is their weak link in the chain to fully enjoying their wi-fi devices and the wi-fi. They need to add numeric signal strength and an adjustable signal sensitivity bar so we can adjust and scan MUCH farther out than the short range they have it tethered to.
The Wi-Fi Trak is/was my favorite app. I use it on the bike trail, in the parked car, and traveling.
Steve, it is an insanely great app!
They(Apple) have really crippled current IPod/IPhone users by pulling these wi-fi scan apps and leaving us the worthless and old hotspot database apps.
Basically Apple left an unfilled vacuum that only angry screams and disappointed customers are currently filling!

Why has dr.web light ben removed from the app store

Why has dr.web light ben removed from the app store and from my shopping list?

Same issue but I'm still on my 5c. I originally thought the issue was due to it's new link to game center so I could be pushed ads like with how crazy taxi is now. Or at least requiring being online to use.
Im wondering if it's even worth paying for a game when eventually it will be turned into the freemimum model anyhow.
I hope someone has an answer for this.

Lyrica 2 app removed from the app store?

Hello.
I've Noticed that the Lyrica 2 app has been removed from the app store. What happened? And is there a way to have my money back? 0,99 is not much, but it's really frustrating.

Dah•veed wrote:
I am curious as to why you feel that because the developer stopped developing and selling the app, you believe that you should be given a refund? You paid the 99¢ and got an app, correct? So you received the app for which you paid?
Because the app still crashes very often and now likely never will be fixed. And while it's working right now, there have been times where it hasn't worked at all - I don't know if it's just looking at lyric websites or if the app itself has a server that it needs to run.

How to I remove an app from the App Store I don't want to update?

Here's my problem: There's Angry Bird on my Mac App store and I keep being prompted to update the App from the Mac App store. Except another account was used(not mine) to buy the game($5) from the Mac App store. So every time I'm prompted to update it to get rid of the notification, it asks me to put in the password of that other account. But the thing is it's not even installed on my Mac, it just tells me I have an update for it. I don't want to pay $5 just to remove it. How do I remove Angry Birds' update if it's from another account?

You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
File ▹ Find
from the menu bar. In the search window, select
Search: This Mac
from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
Other...
A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
Raw Query
as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

Have you looked in your email for a confirmation of the new apple id?
