Jan 3, 2016 8:50 AM in response to King_Penguinby Grandstrand,THanks for the reply. Unfortunately that doesnt work. Hiding iTunes music works that way with the"hover over X" issue to hide. Under "Apps" there is no "hover over X" functionality.
WIndows 10
iTunes 12.3.2.35
H E L P!!

Jan 3, 2016 9:13 AM in response to Grandstrandby King_Penguin,The 'x' is invisible (there is a bug in iTunes), but clicking on its top left corner where the 'x' should be should still hide the app

Jan 3, 2016 9:20 AM in response to King_Penguinby Grandstrand,the X does not exist on apps - it exists on songs. There's no functionality for apps. Its not hidden, its not happening in the background and its not make believe. It doesnt exist AND it shows up on my 7 yr old's tablet with family sharing.

Have you tried clicking on the app's top left corner in Purchased, where the 'x' would be if it wasn't invisible ?

Jan 3, 2016 12:04 PM in response to King_Penguinby Grandstrand,THere is no "invisible x" for apps on itunes on a desktop. Thats what ive been saying. It doesnt exist. the functionality doesn't exist. Theres nothing to click, and when i try - the apps still show up on a family sharing device under my purchases For my son's device.
FYi Im on the phone with apple for 2 hours snd 17 minutes and counting. They are submitting sn "engineering" ticket to escalate. I've been thru two escalations already.

Jan 4, 2016 11:42 PM in response to King_Penguinby Grandstrand,THanks again for the reaponse, and I've answered three times the same. Yes I've tried - I can click all I want it doesnt do anything. I was on the phone for 2 1/2 hours with Apple support. Went from email support, to two different technical support levels and finally they created an engineering ticket to fix the functionality which is broken on both phones iPads and iTunes on at least my windows 10. I did not hear from them today.

Jan 5, 2016 2:50 AM in response to Grandstrandby King_Penguin,I've just tried it on Windows 10 and iTunes 12.3.2.25 and in Purchases clicking on the app's top left corner (just outside the rounded corner of the app's icon, where the 'x' would show if it wasn't invisible), works for me and hides the app.

Jan 5, 2016 3:34 PM in response to King_Penguinby Grandstrand,I am happy to say that it is now working for me as well. Thanks for sticking with me thru the process. Not sure if something changed, or I was just not clicking the "phantom x" correctly but it is hiding apps now and hiding from the family sharing function!
