Hello all, I was looking for an iTunes specific sub-forum but couldn't find one. Sorry if this isn't in the correct space.
I have a Mac Mini with a 500GB hard drive in it and it's starting to fill up. I am going to replace it with a 500GB SSD (which, I realize, does not clear up my space issue, but it will increase speed and then I might use the HDD as a USB storage drive or figure out how to keep it in the case as a slave drive) but I want to clear up as much space as possible before copying the data over.
My wife and I have had iDevices for a very long time. She had the first iPhone. So we have a LOT of apps in iTunes. Since Apple now allows you to download apps from the cloud, I want to clean this up a bit. My thought was to delete all the apps from iTunes, and hook each device we have to the computer and do a transfer purchases so that only the apps we are currently using are in iTunes getting updated. My question is, would this work? Would I get all the apps off of our devices? Has anyone tried anything like this before?
