Why can't I delete some of my emails?

If it only happens with selected emails and not all of them, I don't think this is the problem, but you can check this to be sure.
Go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>tap the blue arrow next to the email address under Account>Advanced>Deleted Mailbox>On my iPad>Trash. I have an IMAP account and it is set to On the Server>Trash.

If the movies show up with a Cloud symbol or if they will not delete when you hit the edit button (or the edit button is not there), go to Settings > Videos > Turn off 'Show All Videos'

Why can't I delete some photos on my ipad

So my brother synced all my photos to iPhoto on my Mac and deleted them on my iPad for some reason. I synced the photos back to my iPad. The problem is that those specific photos can't be deleted off my iPad. Someone please help me out with this. I greatly appreciate all suggestions.

Why can't i delete some apps?

I just upgraded to iOS7 (hate the new look BTW) and now I have Facetime as an app. I don't want it 'cause frankly I have no use for it, but apparently I can't delete it, just like the Games app. Is there some way to delete standard apps that apparently come with the OS?

The Apps included with the iOS can not be deleted. Your best bet may be to move the unused Apps to a common folder, call it "Unused" and move it to the last screen.

Why can't I delete some podcasts on iTunes 11.1?

I have OS X 10.6.8. I upgraded from iTunes 11.0.5 to 11.1, and now I cannot delete some of my podcasts, even if I unsubscribe to them first. In some cases, I can delete a podcast, but it returns immediately, with that new cloud icon beside it. Does anyone know how I can delete these darned things?
Thanks,
Sheila

I have this issue as well in itunes 11.01. Can't right click, get a menu and delete a movie/video. Can't highlight and hit delete key. Have actually gone into iTunes location on Windows 7 and completely deleted all videos from both the music and tv shows folders from my computer. Then, deleted them from my recycle bin so they no longer exist on my computer. Same goes for books.
They still show up in iTunes, and still sync to iPad...

Why can't I delete some cache items in Safari preferences?

Safari>Preferences>Privacy>Details: Several cache items return right after they are deleted. I then went to Safari>Preferences>Advanced>placed check in box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar". But that menu does not show up in menu bar. If I close out and relaunch Safari, the unwanted cache items are gone from the Privacy Details. Even though the Develop menu never appeared, if I then go back to Advanced and uncheck the Develop menu box, those same "deleted" cache items return to the Privacy Details list. What if I don't want to delete some, but not all, the cache items? Why isn't the Develop menu appearing in the Safari menu bar? Is deleting cache items an all-or-none choice?

You're not the only one experiencing such problems.
Just installed Lion - and in Safari the ability to block cookies does not work at all, either in selecting 'from third parties and advertisers' or 'always'. Likewise, in selecting to 'remove all website data' such information repopulates within a couple of seconds.
I am not at all at happy with this situation. If anyone has a solution, do share.

Why can't I delete some files on iDisk?

I need to delete some sync data on the iDisk (MobileMe syncing is corrupted). But for many files I get the message: "you don't have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
And mind you, these are NOT the core files like Backup, Documents, Web etc. which I know cannot be deleted. These are files and folders underneath these 'core folders', like Bookmarks.xml under iDisk>Library>Applications Support>Bookmarks.
Thanks in advance for any pointers/suggestions/solutions. Cheers, Veit

The best procedure would probably be to go to System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync, stop sync (do this on all machines), then click on the 'Advanced' button and then on 'Reset sync data'.
Then you will need to set up all syncing again from scratch. Though I've never tried to tamper with the files you mention I wouldn't be surprised to find they were protected (as is the '_gallery' folder in Web/Sites) to stop people deleting them inadvertently.

Why can't I delete some synced multiples?

Am syncing a Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I often have multiples of the same pictures appear on the devices. I am able to trash some of them but others do not display the trash can when selected. I can find no logic in why multiples appear or won't delete

Do you have your iPod set up to automatically sync your iTunes content including Podcasts or do you manually add and remove content from youri Pod via iTunes?
If you automatically sync content to your iPod, double check your sync settings from under your iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes. Try removing the option to sync podcasts at all and then updating the changes to your iPod. This will remove ALL podcasts from the iPod. Once it has finished, resync the podcasts back to your iPod and see if that helps.
Otherwise, it may be necessary to just restore your iPod to factory settings.

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.

Why can't I delete some emails that have no content?

I have some emails that when I try to delete them the email app closes I cannot even select the email without the app closeing

Did you try swiping the emails from the list view? You don't have to open the emails - just swipe on the message in the list from left to right and a red delete button pops up.
Try resetting the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 101-5 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
You can try closing mail as well. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close it. Restart the iPad - by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if you can delete the emails now.

Why can't I delete some photos from my iPhone?

Photos from my computer somehow got copied onto my phone. First, are those photos taking up space? Secondly, how can I get rid of them? It won't let me delete those particular pics from my phone.

To answer your questions, yes, they are taking up space. They were synced from the computer via iTunes to the iPhone. Second, to delete them, you have to do what you did to get them on there in reverse. Connect the iPhone to iTunes, select the iPhone, go to the Photos tab in iTunes, then remove the checkmark to sync the photos and then sync again. That will delete them.

Why can't i delete some songs off my 4s Iphone with iso7

I want to detele some songs off my phone but i have tried the tap songs, and then swip and then press delete - as sugguested in the manual

These are probably songs that you have either deleted in iTunes, or deleted from the phone that were synced to the phone at one time. This is how it determines to put the cloud symbol beside them. iTunes Match is that way as well. Of course, if you would have mentioned the cloud earlier, it would have ended earlier too. Glad you got it sorted.

Why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini since iOS 8 update? Every time I try to delete an old mailbox that I added it boots me right out of mIl completely. I want to clean up and get rid of old unused mailboxes?

why can't I delete added mailboxes on my iPad mini after the ios8 update?

The mail app is crashing on you for some reason. Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't help, you can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.

Why can't i delete photostream from icloud ??

I was trying to delete some picture that i don't want to share with anyone so why can't i delete or where it the button say that is should be somewhere say DELETE BUTTON on photostream??
I did go to icloud and click on advanced to reset my photostream but it keep saying error urgh why am i getting this again and again?? it shouldn't be so difficult just to delete only few pictures but why should i reset whole picture why WHY?? I think you guys struggling since RIP Steven Job passed away and you should be able fix this by now so please please help me on this thank you....

I didn't say SJ announced the lack of a delete facility.
I meant the way it works now is the way it worked when it was announced by him back in June because the OP was implying that due to SJ no longer being with us, somehow that had some bearing on there being no delete function, and somehow that must mean Apple are struggling without him.
Too frequently on these forums lately, people attribute what they see as "bugs", "omissions" or "oversights" as being a result of Steve Jobs no longer being around, when in fact these things were decided long before Steve even stepped down as CEO.
Photo Stream wasn't developed in-between 5th October and 12th October, so SJ would've known about the lack of a delete function way back in June, and long before that too.
