Why can't I delete any apps even if I hold the app and it starts to quiver? The little "x" does not show up.

Help please

Check Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you restricted the deleting of apps.
Preinstalled apps cannot be deleted.

  • I'm also having a music issue.  When my phone is attached to the computer (mac running 10.6.8) it looks like my music is there but its gray and I can't play anything.  I've tried to delete it and it won't let me but it does not show up on my phone.

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

  • I have one Mac, two users.  I wish to share a iBook with my wife, the other user.  I move a copy of the book folder to "public" folder, and in her account "added to library".  Does not show even though cue claims it is in her library.  No book.

    I find sharing books within my one computer near impossible - not easy as music is.  It used to be easier, but now with iBooks and some other changes this has become difficult.  Also - I can use the search feature to find the "books" folder, and use "Get Info" to find the supposed address, and then not find that folder location at all using a manual method stepping through Finder.  So a second question is:  where is this file hiding?  It is not under User/Library/Containers.... as claimed by "Get Info".  It seems that if I buy a book, the family can use it to put on their iPad.

    Part of me understands the need to have purchases protected.  I hope this does not get more and more complicated for "within family use".  It is nice to buy music and share it with my wife, as we used to do with books prior to the iBooks "upgrade" - which mostly consisted of making it impossible to share books.  Thanks though for your response;  I was hoping for some luck and that maybe I had missed some simple step.  To Apple:  lighten up.
    Best regards and thanks again for taking the time -

  • Why can't I delete any songs from my library??

    I saw this question was posted but no one had an answer even though it was marked as "solved".
    I can't delete any songs from my library whether or not they are starred. None of the songs are on my playlists. When I right click on a song, the delete option is in gray so I can't select it. It's driving me crazy! Please help me! :catmad:

    "Greyed out Delete button songs are from playlist or local files in Library view. You can't delete songs from Library."
    That fixed it. I've had this problem for MONTHS and I couldn't find a work around. This comment made me finally think to just delete the songs on the playlists and that FINALLY removed them from my library. Thanks so much for the heads up!
    Hey there, enjoy your Spotify :)

  • Why can't I delete some photos from my iphone 5c? There is no trash bin at the bottom of some of the photos so what option do I have to delete these photos?

    How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?

    It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
    Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
    Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
    Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
    Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
    Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad.

  • On the 2nd and 3rd page of my ipod touch, none of the apps work You touch the screen and it starts to go, the doesnt. This started today. I've reset the ipod, but still not working.

    On the 2nd and 3rd page of my ipod touch, none of the apps.work. When you touch the screen, they start to "go" then return. This started today. I have reset the ipod, but this still happens. What do I do now?

    Ahh, looks like I remembered correctly
    To the OP:
    This is directly from the KB article lllaass linked to:
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • Why can't I delete any of previously found destinations in the apple maps?

    Is there a way to delete destinations in apple maps, like there is in mapquest or gpsdrive?

    What restrictions did you set on her iPad ? If you have Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps set 'off' on it then you will need to change it to 'on' to be able to delete downloaded apps.

  • HT4623 Why can't I install any apps keeps saying that my session has timed out

    Why can't I install any apps it keeps saying my session has timed out

    Thanks for your suggestion Ned01, I tried this as a last ditch attempt, unfortunatly it made no difference in my case, but i'm pleased it did for you. However, because you reminded me to have another go at this problem, i tried something else (which i'd unsucsessfuly tried before), that is, i deleted the 'CLICK & SAVE " a/c i'd set up recently,  and reverted to my previous payment me and would you know it , this time it worked !! I set up a trail purchase and it worked.
    It seems to me that other poeple with this problem have to solve it by trail and error, but thank you for your help.Sandystone..

  • Why can't I download any more apps on my iPad mini

    Why can't I download any more apps on my ipad mini

    Try deleting the waiting app then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    Why can't I update any apps? When I hit update it gives me an old id. But in settings my new id is totally set and verified. How cam I make the change in App Store?

    App purchases are permanently tied to the ID with which they were purchased. They cannot be transferred to a new ID.
    You will have to enter the password for that ID or delete the apps and re-purchase them with the new one.

  • For the first time, I downloaded a podcast in the podcast app by clicking on the cloud icon. Now, every single play button for all of my podcast episodes is grayed out. Why can't I play any of my podcasts any more?

    Greetings Heather,
    After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error with the Podcasts app. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    How to restart
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

    - Try another payment method.
    - Contact iTunes
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
