Hi Sadam, Cheers for that,
I was not aware I could get rid of the apps I no longer wanted or required. I'll have to try this. And I do most if not all of my app purchasing off the phone or iPad I only really use Itunes for my audio books and music. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sabahattin Gucukoglu Sent: Monday, 9 May 2016 10:30 PM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Keeping iOS apps in sync with Mac App slicing is this new technology that means that you only have the binary code and data your app actually requires on a given device. Example: you have a 64-bit chip, so you don’t need 32-bit code. You no longer download a complete app with everything packed inside, but download only the bits you need and construct an app installation on a per-device basis for whatever state it is in. You’ve been able to hide purchases for a while now, when it isn’t broken. You need iTunes on Mac/PC, but if you go to your Purchased page (it’s under Quick Links on any iTunes Store page), go to the Apps tab and make sure “All” and “iPhone” are selected (use iPad for iPad-only apps), you can see all your apps and hide any of them. Spend some time doing that. Now, turn off syncing of apps to your device, turn off installation of new apps, turn off “Automatic Downloads” in iTunes for apps, and throw away all apps in your iTunes library. Use App Store on your device exclusively, and (optionally) turn on updates. You are now in the position to download and test an app, and immediately remove it if you’re unhappy with it. You can easily refund apps you don’t want, and have less opportunity to buy wastefully or get blacklisted by Apple for the returns process. This is all very worthwhile. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
