Yeah this stinks!! I have an eharmony app I don't want a new partner to see but it's in my purchase history. Will that be there for years to come? I REALLY REALLY don't like this. I'm happy to take the responsibility of living with any accidental removals, but preventing me from chosen editing of my purchase history is odd. I deleted the app a long time ago, many new syncs etc, now, like a ghost from the past it has appeared in the purchase history. If I delete an app I don't want it anymore. It's like my refuse always being stored for me, I threw that pizza out goddamit!! Stop reminding me!

I also think this is stupid to not be able to permanently delete an app. We have all downloaded an app that is completely useless or just terrible that we would like to forget about. I don't want to be stuck with the trash from several years ago--I didn't want it then, why would I want it now? Just a horrible way to gum up the works and make things more complicated.

I ain't getting this until this is fixed. I don't want to be stripped out fully with all the ancient purchases that I made ever since the iPhone is released. That really *****. Apple to better fix this as many of the current iPhone users aren't going to e happy with this at all. I don't want to remove my device. I have my whole family using iPhones iPods and the iPad which is with one iTunes account and deleting the device doesn't help. I just want to be the administrator of what I want in which device.


I am a hard core fan of apple have all their products and in fact switched my entire office users to Mac. I didn't expect from apple who always comes out with the smartest product in the industry. Apple better get this fixed before the final release, before it hurts lot of your followers.

May I suggest that all respond to apple via their Feedback option.


I have done so as I regard the unrestricted publication of personal information (irrespective of its sensitivity) as a gross lack of personal information governance and have requested that Apple resolve this by either:


1. Only provide the unedited list after entering the individual Apple ID and Password on the device - per session

2. Provide an edit facility in iTunes to completely remove or delete unwanted items


The more people that pose feedback, the more likely it is that notice will be taken.
