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

Same issue here.

What about manual deletion? I'm afraid to try it because it might somehow bust future syncs. Anyone with this problem braver than me?

At best that would be a lame workaround though.

I'm guessing this, apps not deleting, problem cannot be happeining to everyone. I doubt Apple would ship with such a glaring bug.

Same Here!

And im using the latest OS on my Mac.

10.8.2, iTunes 11, iPhone 5 & 4s

And what's this new cloud catagory in music? there is a cloud next to some songs with an option to download???

(The song already exist in my library and im not using icloud at all) 😕 ???

I am having the same problem. I am using iTunes 11 with an iPhone 4S and iPad 2. Both are using iOS 6.0.1. Neither will remove apps. If I plug the devices into my PC using the USB port and click to sync, I get prompted to remove the apps or sync them. I always select remove, but nothing happens. I am having a lot of problems with the latest couple of versions of iTunes. I could probably manually delete the apps from my iPhone and iPad, but that's annoying.

Has anyone contacted Apple about this problem? I can't find a way to do it without calling them. I don't want to spend a lot of time on the phone for an obvious bug.

I have multiple apps that I'm trying to delete. I could delete them from my devices manually, but I'll probably miss something.

I am also having the same problem

Exactly .... Dose apple see these posts? Do we still need to call or notify them of this issue?

This is a user to user support forum. Apple don't monitor for feedback or to give direct support.

Ideally you would delete any apps you no longer want on the device either directly on it, or by unticking them when you sync. They would stay in your library in case you want to reinstall later. You can discard from the library also, and in most cases you would be able to download again later if you wanted, but apps do get removed from time to time, or updated so that they no longer work with older versions of iOS. Keeping all your content, and a backup uof it, keeps you in control. Either way removing from the device, then later from the library if you wish, is probably the best way to do it.

You may find that setting the option under Edit > Preferences > Devices to Prevent automatic syncing... will mean that you get the warning to transfer or remove back when you do sync. Alternatively try Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Reset warnings.

Same problem. In iTunes 10 i'd delete an app from iTunes directly, then when syncing the app would be removed from my phone as well.

Now when i delete an app from iTunes and go to sync, iTunes just warns me that there are apps on my phone that aren't on my computer and that if i don't transfer them, they will be deleted. I click "don't transfer", but the apps aren't deleted, iTunes just warns me again for the same apps if i sync again and again.

Can i just rollback to iTunes 10??

Ridiculous.

I just cleaned up a ton of apss I don't use in iTunes only to find that now I have to go back to my iPhone and delete them by hand there. I also hit the Transfer Purchases button and it began to reinstall a huge game that I thought I deleted from both.

There has to be a way to fix it this somehow.

It also happens for other content - ie: music or podcasts deleted in iTunes do not delete from iDevices when they are sync'd.

This is beyond annoying - I have 2 ipads and 2 iphones and keeping them manually sync'd is stoneage.

I love apple, but seriously there have been some major glitches recently.

I'm considering reinstalling one of my devices to see if it helps.

The tricky part is that you don't remove the apps when syncing, but from your iTunes library. That is in the dropdown menu of Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps...

Just click and delete.

if you want to delete apps from itunes by simply using delete botton go to APPS through dropdown menw of music, movies, apps then select an app and delete 🙂
