TS1424 How do you remove an update to an app never purchased and not in itunes

I have an update to an app I don't have on my iPad or in iTunes and can't delete it without buying it which I don't want to do. How can I delete it?

I searched both the iPad and iTunes, it is not even in the hidden apps. It is not anywhere. I asked apple and they told me they don't know that I had to make an appointment to have a tech look at it but was hoping someone here could help me.
Thanks for your response.

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.

How do you clear completed updates from the app store after downloading is complete?

How do you clear completed updates from the app store after downloading is complete on iOS 7.0.2?

You don't. It's how things are done now, likely to accommodate those that have auto update turned on. IT's been said that the updates will just drop off after a period of time but time will tell on that.

I just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes from my phone. It was replaced with whT was on my iMac how do you make the sync go from phone to desktop and not the other way around

I Just synced my iPhone and lost all the info in notes I had on the phone. How do you have the info sync from phone to desktop and not the other way around as I usually make contact changes etc on my phone. I would then like to be able to sync that info from desktop to ipad thanks

It does make sense. The iPhone is a one-person device and just syncs to one computer.
The way it should work is as follows:
Old computer content ---> New computer
New computer <---> syncs to iPhone
But the way you are trying to operate sounds like:
Old computer content ---> iPhone
... and ...
New computer content <---> iPhone
So simply move your old stuff (either directly from iTunes, or from a computer backup) to the new computer, have it all there, then sync your iPhone to the new machine.

HT4623 How come my ipod only updates to ios 6.1.6 and not a iso 7 or 8?

How come my ipod only updates to ios 6.1.6 and not an ios 7 or 8?

Because iOS 7 requires 512MB of RAM and iOS 8 requires a dual-core processor. Your device doesn't have either of those.

How do you remove iOS8 update. How do you avoid using iCloud

How do I remove an update from the app window that I don't want to update or download?

The Mac app store keeps telling me I have a software update for a app I have deleted from my computer. How do I get rid of it.

If the application came with an uninstaller, you should use that. If it didn't, usually dragging the app from the Applications folder to the trash is sufficient.
You could go to categories and find the errant app. If it has a formal uninstaller you could download it again and then follow their uninstall procedure. It will cost you nothing as you originally paid for it.
If not you can try a program like AppDelete.

But a little light reading via typing in 'Deleting Apps' in the search box is often as good a way to pick up specialist advice.
Hope this goes some way to helping.

How to keep apps for later and not have iTunes prompt for an update?

can I get iTunes to stop offering me an update for an app I have unchecked for now but am not ready to delete permanently? I have some I bought that, for now I don't wish to use. Some are organizational apps, and I bought them to see if they would work for me. So far, I am still not clear which one works best for me so I want to keep it in my itunes library, to try later, when I have more time. I have unchecked it on my iphone and ipad and for when I sync, but when I check updates, they are always listed in the update list. With them there, I cannot check, update all, and have to type in my password for each individual download, which as we all know, on an iphone, if you have a good password to keep your itunes account from being hacked, can be a pain to type repeadly. But basically, I want to know if I can avoid being prompted to download and update for an app that I which to 'keep on the shelf' for now, since I believe that if I delete it from itunes permanantly, I would have to buy it again, should I want to try it out again.
I appreciate any help you can give me. I did do a search for my question but only found how to permanately delte apps in itunes. If there is a clear answer in a thread, I'd be happy to know what it is.
Thank you,
Michelle

As with your iPod when connected to iTunes, the iPhone has various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. Your iPod and your iPhone can have different sync preferences.
If you don't want to transfer any music to your iPhone, don't select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences. If you don't want to sync any video to your iPhone, don't select sync Movies and TV Shows under your iPhone sync preferences.
Under the Applications tab for your iPhone sync preferences, you will select Sync Applications with the following options below.
All Applications to transfer all available applications to your iPhone, or choose Selected Applications followed by selecting the applications in the window below that you want transferred to your iPhone followed by a sync.

How do you get iPhoto albums on to an external HD and not by date?

I really hope someone can help me with this.
I don't know if I am missing some really easy step, but I recently bought an external 100GB FireLite drive to back up all my photos and music. The problem is that when I drag the albums on to the hard drive an error message comes up after a while, this even happens if I try to drag one photo. However, if I drag the files in date format, i.e 2001, 2002, 2003 etc.. then the files are copied over. However, when I try and open these on the new drive, they come up in Preview not in iPhoto. I am wondering if anybody else has had these problems and if so, how did you manage to back up your photos on an external hard drive as the albums are shown in iPhoto and not in date format.
I'd be grateful for any advice.

Hi Saint tommy,
-when you drag Albums to the hard drive you are probably running into the problem of having images in the Album that have the same file name. This happens when your camera resets it's file numbering to 1 each time you clear the card. Make sure your camera uses continuos numbering. I am not sure why that would happen dragging one photo.
-when you drag the photos in date format, the images are still in separate folders as to date of creation, so you will not have the same problem because they are in separate folders.
-When you open them up on a separate drive, they will open up in Preview because you did not copy the Entire iPhoto Library folder. If you did copy the entire iPhoto Library folder you would have to tell iPhoto where this folder is so it can open it.
When you launch iPhoto holding down the Option key this is the window you will get.
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library if that is what you want to do, or choose a library to open by clicking the "choose" button.
If you click the "create library" iPhoto will open with a brand new library for you to import images to. If you click "choose" then you will get this window.
Open library
Navigate to where the library is on your computer, highlight it, then clcik the "open" button.
Now the "how to for backing up the iPhoto Library folder"
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
Now the "how to copy the iPhoto Library to an external and have iPhoto use that library."
Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library folder to a Mac formatted external drive.
Launch iPhoto while holding down the Option key.
At the prompt, choose to open another library.
Navigate to the library on the external and highlight it.
Hit the "open" button
iPhoto will open the library on the external and from now on will use this library to import images too. This will now be your working library. Make sure everything is working correctly and everything is fine in the library.
You can then delete the library on the internal if you wish.
Hope this helps!

How do you set up a TC as a media center and not a back up?

Hello,
I am new to Apple products. I have a 13" Macbook Air and a 1 TB TC. I plan on buying the Apple TV. I am trying to find out how I can use my already networked TC to be used as a media center (to store pictures, music, movies ETC) instead of only being used for the Time Machine to back up my Macbook. Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks for reading and have a great day!!
Jason

Sorry Jason.. but this is not really possible.
TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. designed for Time Machine and laptops as a network target for the backups.
It has minimal (to say the least) functionality.. ie file protocol for network.. AFP and SMB.. that is it.. sum total.
No media servers. no nothing.
And Apple TV is not really a media player.. it is a streamer.. it accepts a stream and displays it on a TV or through a hifi system. It is bound.. with bolts and shackles and chains to itunes. It can play itunes stuff from any computer running itunes.. TC cannot run itunes.. so as you can see.. it is merely a file store.
So here you have it.. TC.. computer.. ATV.
If you want to store itunes library on the TC you can but it is unwise.. without considering the following consequences.. it is slow to start up and fast to spin down.. making itunes have library location and streaming issues. More important in a way TC has no way to back itself up.. on the day the TC dies your iTunes library goes with it. Time Machine cannot backup network drives.. you will need to use a tool like CCC and then backup the files to an external drive plugged in where?? The MBA.. ?? In which case the whole thing is wrong way around.. put the library on the external drive and leave the TC to do what it does best.. act as a dumb backup target for TM.
Now that is in Apple world.. of course you can use a real player.. eg WD Live TV and play files from the TC.. all the smarts of course are in the WD player .. there are none in the TC.. it is simply used as SMB network drive.

How do you remove unwanted updates???

Hi,
I have the game Bejeweled HD on my I-Pad original running IOS 5.1.1. There is a new update for Bejeweled HD available. When I updated my app, the app crashes upon starting. Therefore, I uninstalled the app and re-installed the previous version from my I-Tunes account.
However, now on the App Store icon, there is always a red "1" on the icon saying there is an update available. And of course that update is for Bejeweled HD which I don't want because it doesn't work.
Is there any way of removing the "Unwanted" update or just hiding it? Is there a way to remove the red "1" on the App Store icon?
Thanks.
