Deleting apps on itunes 11 not deleting them when syncing with Iphone 4s!

Same here. Very annoying.....

On top of that, when this happens I get error that iTunes cannot sync cause cannot determine apps on the device. This happens after I remove also manually the app from the device. So basically iTunes is getting confused about the number of apps in the device.

Question as this might help. When you go to apps on iTunes for the device do you all have checked or unchecked the option to sync new apps? I have unchecked and I am wondering if that has anything to do. I also have automatic downloading apps enabled if you go to the device and App Store configuration.

I had the same problem and called Apple. The menu in iTunes 11's library his hidden.

On PC : Use CTRL + S

On Mac : Use CMD + ALT + S

What does the hidden menu (which is actually the sidebar) has to do with this problem?

What did they tell you when you called Apple? How did you fix this problem?

For some reason, the LIBRARY sidebar menu is hidden by default when upgrading to iTunes 11. The applications options that makes deleting possible can be find in that menu (under music, movies, tv-series). It seems like no one could find it (the menu), at least, I couldn't.

Now, deleting applications from iTunes is possible again using the right clic, the same way it was with previous versions.

Let's hope I can make myself clear enough, I'm french. 🙂

It works the way it has been designed to work. You may not agree with the logic, but once you understand it you can find a work flow that works for you. Apps are not the same as music. If you delete an app from a device in error restoring it won't replace the data associated with it. Ensuring you don't accidentally remove an app from a device seems to me like a "good thing" in general, even if in this instance you don't find it convenient.

You're right ZeustMT !

I was looking for a solution to my problem and did not identify the main question on this page properly.
The intention was to help, sorry all !

Sooooo.... no fix on this yet?

It's easy. Just select Apps on the left column in iTunes (under Library). For each App you want to delete, right click its icon and you get the delete option.

There seems to be a lot of people here confused as to what the issue being discussed is.

I think we all know how to delete apps from itunes.

What we are struggling with, is having a functionality by where apps that are deleted from itunes are subsequently deleted off of ios devices with the next sync.

Instead at the moment we have to delete apps from itunes, and then take a second step and delete the same apps off of subsequesnt ios devices which does seem like a crazy step to have to make.

If you are anything like me and occasionally have an app 'clear-out' on itunes, you don't want to have to log all those apps down then go to your iPhone or iPad and find and delete them all again. Twice.

So is there a workaround yet??
