ADDRESS BOOK ENTRIES WILL NOT LET ME DELETE

This is nuts.
All I want to do is delete a "group" I created of addresses. I delete the group on my desktop machine, and turn my head for a minute. When I come back, BOOM, there it is again.
I want to clean up my addresses and get rid of the group and trim out about 100 contacts. But whatever I do, they just will not let me delete.
I have a feeling this has something to do with mobile.me and iSync. I have a DT a LT and an iPhone all synching contacts and calendars.
I have tried turning off MM and deleting the calendars then reimporting the (trimmed version) back in. I have tried loggin in / logging out on all machines. I have tried and tried but no matter what I do the stupid (bigger) address book (with) unwanted group just keeps coming back.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
Can someone just tell me WTH I have to do to make it go away, start from scratch with a nice, cleaned up list and go from there?????
TIA,
SAS

Uh. Well. Wait.
Uh.
It just did it again. Without MobileMe.
I deleted all the addresses. Turned off iSync.
Imported a "culled" saved address book file.
Then (all I did) was add in a new address. Hit save. Turned my head for a second and when I turned back it WAS BACK. (THE OLD LARGER/BLOATED address book just popped up!!!) Out of nowhere!!!!!
OMG. HTH do you get the thing to go away????? Certainly there must be a way to just delete a database for good????? NO?

I am trying to delete my icloud account to create a new one but it will not let me delete my old account

I am trying to delete my old icloud account but it will not let me delete the account?

If you are trying to delete an old iCloud account in order to sign in with an updated ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, temporarily recreate the old ID by going tohttps://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use yourcurrent password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.comand change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

M I phone will not let me delete my I cloud account until the correct password has been entered and i have not got it as the new software has wiped it out.

I have gone on to IOS7 and i have an apple ID which is new. The old one was ditched and i can not now make Icloud work on the new apple id.I have phone finder on and will not let me delete the old i cloud account unitl the pasword is put which i dont have anymore. I have tried to put in loads of times the old passwords that i used to use with no effect.
HELP

Why?
Just continue to use the old AppleID account. You can update it with new email address if you wish.
and will not let me delete the old i cloud account unitl the pasword is put which i dont have anymore
You forgot your AppleID password?
Go here -> https://appleid.apple.com

IPhoto9.3.2 on 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more

iPhoto9.3.2 on a iMac i7 2.93 GHz with 12GB running MacOS 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more, neither delete, comman delete or even emptying the trash works since i updated it a week ago.
anyone else have the same problem or a solution?

Same issue, but it's more involved... I don't use iphoto much, just to store photos, but I first noticed the problem about 2 months ago when trying to delete a photo.   It would not delete, and afterwards iphoto would hang on close, and trying to delete caused a crash entry in the log.    here's some details:
OS X 10.7.4, and 10.7.3. Possibly earlier.
iphoto 9.3.2, and one of the version 8's as well. Recently updated it.
If you try to delete a photo, here is the subsquent syslog:

I have repaired, and rebuilt the database. No change.
I have created a new database, imported 1 photo, and tried to delete it. No change.
I have copied the database (duplicated). No change.
I have deleted the iphoto preferences file. No change.
I have removed the application, and reinstalled from my iLife 11. No change.
I have removed the application and preferences folder, reinstalled from iLife 11. No change.
In addition to not being able to delete a photo, these additional problems exist:
Cannot delete an event.
Cannot move a photo from one event to another.
At this point, I'm fairly sure this is not a database issue. I'm also certain it's not related to the new update.   Anyone got an idea that isn't related to the database?

My iphone 5 will not let me delete emails and open up certain apps like Keep safe and kicks me out of different apps

My iPhone 5 will not let me delete emails. I trash them and they look like they are deleted and then they will load back in. I cannot open my Keep Safe app after the last update. It said I needed more storage so I upgraded and it still will not load. It opens for a second and then goes to home page. FB is hit or miss if it will open and when it does it is really slow. Any suggestions?

Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

I want to change my id email address, but I need to change it to the address that is my repair address and it will not let me do it. How can I make the change?

I need to change my id email address. The address I need to use is also my repair address and it will not let me make the change. Can someone help me. I cannot find a phone number to call that will help me with this problem.

There isn't a phone number for iTunes Support.
If you mean that the address is your rescue email address then follow the steps half-way down this page for changing it http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 :
Navigate to appleid.apple.com using your web browser.
Click "Manage your account"
When prompted, sign in using your Apple ID and password.
Click Password & Security
You'll be asked to answer 2 of your 3 security questions before you can make any modifications. If you are unable to remember your answers, you can choose to send an email to your rescue email to reset your security questions.
After you've validated your identity by correctly answering your security questions, click Edit to the right of your rescue email address.
Once you've finished editing your rescue email address, click the Save button directly below the email field.
You can then try using it as your primary email address on your account (you may need to log out and back in after removing it as your rescue email address).

I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

rickeyt
Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
Thank you.

How can I delete a backup on the account of icloud will not let me delete it mark me error

When i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add some security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

when i try to download an app and i have entered my password i am asked to add three security questions. I can add two questions and an alternative e-mail address, however it will not let me select the third security question.

Thanks Liam. After the second ap download it asked me three security questions on iTunes and on my MAC it allowed me to set up these with no error on the third question. iPAD 3 now downloads apps fine.
Apple really need to sort out this issue or provide guidance on this. Two days of the unit not really being fit for purpose - what use is an IPAD without the ability to download aps.
Also NO Response from Apple via online tech support and it's now been nearly 24 hours - I was told by telephone support I would get a response within 24 hours or less, as also stated in the email response too!??
It would be good to get a formal response from Apple on this rather than radio silence.

Check the required specs for the latest version of iTunes and iOS. What kind of Mac computer do you have and what OS does it have on it. Also, what kind of processor do you have, Intel?

Address Book Server will not sync all fields with iOS client

Hello,
I am getting really frustrated with my Mac Mini Server.
Apparently, the Address Book Server DOES NOT sync all fields.
Only standard vCard-fields seem to synced.
I have not successfully synced user-defined fields, such as an additional date.
Any ideas / infos on how to achieve this if this possible at all?
Thanks for the input,
Erasmus
One thing: I posted the same question in the "Lion" (non-server) discussion - sorry for any confusion.
One thing I noticed:
All changes made on the server in the OS X Address Book are distributed to two iOS clients (iPod 4th Gen iOS4 iPhone 3GS iOS 4).
Any help is appreciated.

Sorry for answering myself...
I just found out that after editing the newly distributed entry on an iOS4-Client, some fields on the server are deleted!

Updated Facebook via the Apps store. Icon is "grayed" and will not open. It also will not let me delete, to download again. Anyone have this problem?

Updated Facebook via the apps store. Now, icon is "grayed" & will not open, nor will it let me delete it, so I can re-download. Has anyone had this problem?

Do you have another disk or Mac connected that has Pages '09 from the Mac App Store installed? If so, the MAS will "see" it & will report it as installed. Unmount any & all drives, including Time Machine backups, that might have Pages '09 on them & then relaunch the MAS & see if you can download it.
