Yes you can:

Open iTunes -> Click on AppStore from the top bar . On the right sidebar you will see: AppStore Quick Links. The last one is "Purchased". Click on that. Now you must see 3 categories: Music : Apps : Boks . Click on Apps.

Now, if you go with your mouse over an app icon you will see an "x". If you click on that you will hide that purchase.


If you want to see the hidden purchases: Go to Itunes AppStore -> Click on your email in top right corner. Choose Account. Over there you will see iTunes in the Cloud - > "Hidden purchases" and "View hidden purchases"


I hope that helped. It works for me.

The very dirty way: You need Adobe Acrobat.

Go to iTunes Store -> Account -> Purchase History.

You will see "Viewing batch x/xx"

Do a screenshot on the selected area "CMD + Shift + 4" (choose the area from the name of the app to the price)


Go to the next page. Repeat.

Open Adobe Acrobat. Go to File - > Create -> Combine files into a single pdf. Choose your screenshots.

Go to View -> Tools -> Recognize text.

Now you have text in those pages. You can copy that info in Excel or text files.


The Not that dirty way:

Open iTunes. Go to Library -> Apps.

Right Click on any App -> Show in Finder.

Now you see the Finder window. Click on Edit -> Select All.

Open TextEdit. File ->New. Go to Format -> Make plain text (CMD + Shift + T)

Now that's the main trick: Press CMD + Shift + Option + v (or go to Edit -> Paste and match style)

Now you will have all your apps in a text document.


Both of them are not clean or easy, but if you don't have other choices (Apple, are you there?) it's a solution.

Luigi
