How do I delete the apple folder in common files

I am trying to delete the apple folder from common files.  When I click on apple, internet services comes up.  I tried to delet those but it says they are open in the internet.  I don't know how to close them.  Please help.

I just fixed this.  I had to,delete iCloud from my PC.  Make sure it is still on your ipad, etc.!!!  There were programs open in iCloud preventing me from deleting all the apple files so that I could reinstall itunes.  I did not find that out on any of the apple support postings.  Apple should have told me to delete iCloud as they did the other components.

  • HT1923 I can't delete the Apple folder in Common Files

    My computer would not recognize my iPhone.  I tried the troubleshooting tips found online, uninstalling everything in order.  When verifying all files had been removed, I could not delete the Apple folder in Common Files as it says the folder or a file in it is open in another program.  When checking my programs I see iCloud remains (published by Apple).  Need that be uninstalled as well?  How important is it to delete the Apple folder which has an Internet Services folder in which are two other folders (filled with files), an application AppleOutloodDAVConfig64, and three application extensions?  I can no longer remember if my phone had remained connected to the computer throughout all of the process or not,

    Does it say something is in use in there?

  • Can't delete Apple folder in Common Files

    I went to the Genius Bar today.  They were not able to solve my problem but they did a full restart of my iPod and told me to reinstall iTunes on my home computer.
    Before reinstalling iTunes, I followed Apple's instructions for deleting all Apple software on my computer (Windows 7).  However, I have been unable to delete the Apple folder in the Common Files folder.
    I searched for hours online for solutions to deleting this file.  It looks like several people have had this problem and several suggestions have been made  but nothing has worked for me. 
    Among the things I have tried are stopping and restarting explorer.exe.  I also downloaded Byetunes but it looks like I can only delete one file at a time and there must be hundreds of files in this folder.  This is madness.
    I would deeply appreciate as complete a list as possible of ways to delete this file. 
    It should not be this hard to find out how to delete a file!
    Thank you.

    Followed the procedures as layed out in Apple Support online, but now I still can't delete the "Apple" folder in "Common Files" (during the 'verifying you've actually deleted iTunes' step...).
    Do you have the iCloud control panel currently installed? If so, try uninstalling that. Can you do the deletion now?

  • How do I delete the Ipod folder cache?? (in ilife '08)

    just got an ipod and thought it would be fun to have all my pictures on it... not knowing that itunes makes a complete copy of all my pictures (25gb) in iphoto: iTunes constructs a photo database on your hard drive in order to make photo syncing fast when you add new photos in the future.
    now this completely ate all my reserve hard drive space on my laptop and now I don't want pictures on my ipod...so I deleted them... but the itunes photo database still exists on the hard drive of my laptop... not giving me back the 25gb of hard drive space I really need!
    someone helped me to find the following link:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300225
    but when I search the folder ipod folder cache I get the same folder as iPhoto Library,
    this is what I get: users/me/pictures/iphoto Library
    when I click it to open my iphoto opens...
    so how can I delete the Ipod folder cache with iphoto '08 7.1.1

    I found the answer....
    go to the folder of your pictures, then either right click (or ctrl + left mouse) on iphoto library then click show pakket, then you will find the Ipod folder cache which then can be deleted...

  • How can I delete the Photostream folder in iOS?

    So yeah hi everyone!
    I guess the title says it. I'd like to delete the Photostream folder in iOS from my “Photos” App?
    I've already tried:
    to reset Photostream on icloud.com.
    turn off Photostream on my iOS Device.
    deleting the iCloud Account from my iOS Device.
    It didn't work work.

    This is the correct solution...
    1. Sign into iCloud account (the one linked to the inactive photostream album)
    2. Make sure photostream is turned ON
    3. Take a picutre, and wait for it to appear in the Photostream.
    4. Go into setting and turn off photostream, deleting all pictures, and getting rid of the photostream album.
    No waiting for 30 days now!well   its gone but when i turn it on again they are bk  so  i think u have to w8 30 days

  • How do I delete the apple watch icon?

    How do I remove the Apple Watch Icon from my iPad 2?

    They should be iPhone only. I know I didn't get one on my iPod.
    Apple puts the software on your phone just so that everything is ready to go if you ever choose to get a watch. It's like Newsstand and Health, Facetime, iMessage, Passbook and other built in apps. Stuff you may never use but Apple feels should be there ready if you ever choose to use it.

  • HT204053 I have one apple id for my iPad and a second apple id for my iPhone and laptop. I just want to use one apple id. How do I delete the apple id on my iPad and make it consistent with the other two devices?

    I have one apple id on my iPad and a second apple id on my iPhone and laptop. I want to use one apple id for everything. I tried wiping my iPad and synching it with my laptop. The old apple id still remains on my iPad. I can't get rid of it. Help.

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

  • I have deleted my email account that was the same as my apple id. How do i delete the apple account off of my ipad so i can rest everything? my password that i had isnt working either.

    I have deleted my old email account that is connected with my apple id. I created a new apple id with a new email but my old email is still on my ipad that requires the password that i had with that account. It says incorrect password but I know it is right. I need help because I am trying to sell it and I need it to reset my ipad

    Settings > iTunes and App Store
    Tap on your Apple ID
    Sign Out
    Sing back in with the correct ID
    NOTE:  All apps purchased under the old ID will forever be tied to that ID, so you'll need to remember it if you want to update those apps.  Or, you can delete those apps and redownload them under the new ID.

  • Hello, i just buy a second hand iphone, i created my new apple id and i did it to my iphone, my problem is, everytime i go to appstore, the apple id of the owner keeps on appearing even i had my own created id, how will i delete the apple id of the owner?

    please help me on this, im having a hard time to resolve it on my own..

    The previous owner has to disassociate/unregister their device from their Apple ID - you cannot do it for them.

    If the seller has not done this, you might want to schedule a visit to your nearest Genius Bar.
