is it possible to remove apps from the purchase history in my itunes account? It's just with the purchased option now coming up under updates in the app store I would like to remove some of the free apps that I dont use.
iPod touch, iOS 4.3.2
I will soon get married, and I have a lot of "stuff" since I was younger and ...you know. So no being able to delete old garbage from the eys of an IT wife, is not so good for me ...
MAKE THE DELETE OPTION!
What is this? Gestapo ?....
Regards.
You hide them via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If your device is on iOS 7 you might then need to log out and back into your account on the device for them to then be hidden from the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it - I needed to the last time I hid an app.
And if you don't have iTunes? Or anything but the tablet?
You won't be able to hide them - you used to able to do it in previous versions of iOS but for some reason that has been removed, you can now only do it on a computer's iTunes. You can try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html or http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Anyone find out how to delete, not just hide, Apps from history?
Nope. Can hide on PC but not on phone. Thanks, Apple!
Even more amazing that it appears to have been an option before.
The genius of Apple, deleting options and features, one update at a time.
+1 but we are wasting our breath. Apple obviously has no intention of allowing us to protect our own privacy.
Apple are not here, these are user-to-user forums. If you want to leave feedback then use the feedback page (but it's unlikely to happen) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Apple employees most definitely check these forms. They would be more likely to respond to a viral complaint/thread, than a Feedback form that can't be seen to the public.
iPhone/iPod TouchI have found the way to permanently delete uninstalled apps form the itunes list of apps... Follow these steps and poof gone form the list.
1.) Connect iphone to PC and open itunes (it should open to your list of music or what was showing when you last closed it)
2.) Make sure in the upper left corner it shows Apps and not something else
3.) Across the top you should see about 5 choices, "All - iPhone/iPod Touch - iPad - List - Updates"
Select "iPhone/iPod Touch"
4.) hold down the ctrl button (windows) and begin to click the ones you want to delete to highlight all of the apps you want gone.
5.) When you finished selecting al the apps you want to delete, press the delete button and confirm.
6.) close iTunes and disconnect your device and reconnect and start itunes. apps in the list should only show what is physically on your device.
Nope, just tried it. Only hides on PC, but still on Phone list.
I have no idea whether this link has already been posted in the previous ten pages and I have no intention of reading through it all to check but always good to have the answer on the final page anyway 🙂
There IS a way to do it and it does work, I just watched the app icons disappear off my ipad as I hid them in iTunes on my pc.
And the help comes courtesy of this page
