Apps don't wiggle and cannot delete

I cannot delete my apps on my ipad. I have tried the followings thing:
1. Press and hold apps/screen - they DO NOT wiggle/shake
2. Tried to go into my Settings and reset my Restrictions - Restrictions is not present in my Settings.
3. Tried to go to Settings --> General --> Reset - Rest is not preset in my Settings.
This was all occuring when I had the older iOS earlier today. So, I updated my iOS and currently have version 5.1. I even reset it my iPad from within iTunes and it is all still happening.
How do I delete an app and how do I make everything wiggle/shake????

You have not stated what version of the iPad you have, I.e., 1, 2 or the new iPad. It is obvious it is not the latter since it comes with iOS 5.1, otherwise you would have no need to update.
We're you able to delete any apps in any previous version?
You state that Reset (Rest) is not in your Settings. You normally have to scroll to the very bottom of the page for it which will then take you to a new page with six options. It shouldn't make any difference but you could also try Reset Home Page Screen Layout.
If all fails I would go down the route of a Restore. See here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Make sure you use the computer you normally sync to, that you do a backup (which should be automatic) as part of that process, and that you restore from that backup in the final stages of the process rather than setting it up as a new device.

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

Not sure if I had to submit my question:

There isn't an iCloud app, I'm not sure what it is that you have deleted, but it isn't iCloud.

What's the go with this latest update. Half my apps don't work and the iPad runs slower? How do I go back to the old operating system?

Make sure your apps are updated. You might try Settings > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads - Updates = "On".
You cannot go back to an old operating system.

After software update (Sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing

Plugged my phone in and itunes said there was an update I needed to install. Did that then it said there was a problem with the phone and it needed to be formatted before itunes could read it, did that too. Then while it was syncing up again after formatting it kept telling me there was a problem and items could not be found. All downloaded apps, some are missing completely from the phone, are no longer working. HELP!

yes i am fully aware of that!!!
This "i do not see an update when i connect to itunes!!!!" suggested otherwise.
the post says "after software update (sept. '09) apps don't work and some missing"
there has been no update in sept 09!!!!
Perhaps the OP doesn't connect the iPhone to the computer very often.

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and cannot delete anything from my iPhone. I need to delete a playlist to make room for a new one, but Delete does not even show up as an option (nor does the delete key on my keyboard delete anything.

Could you possibly be more vague?
If you want help you have to provide details, not just "I can't synch my phone". Why can't you synch? What error messages do you get? Give us something.

I have orphaned voice memos on my iPhone5 and cannot delete. Listed in iTunes but not on my iPhone's Voice Memo app.

When I upgraded from my iPhone 4 to iPhone 5, a bunch of voice memos were orphaned.
What this means is that when I connect my iPhone to iTunes, I see the voice memos.
They are listed in iTunes under my iPhone directories "Voice Memo" and in "Music".
But I cannot delete these.
When I go to my iPhone, the Voice memo app has changed (ok) and you can see there
are no voice memos. It appears that they are orphaned from the voice memo app.
So the voice memos are in my phone somewhere.
How can I delete them or export them or something with them?
I can't play them except on iTunes. They don't show up in Music in my iPhone.
Thanks for your Help

The Daily App -- "not logged in" and "cannot connect to itunes store"

Hello,
I subscribed to the Daily App for 1 year. It shows under my itunes subscription.
Two problems: When I log into the daily app, I get "Can't connect to itunes store" 2 or 3 times. I can just hit ok and they'll go away.
The second, and more annoying, is that when I do the crossword puzzle, I don't see anything on the leaderboard and at the bottom, below the puzzle, it says "not logged-in." But when I click the little settings thing, I am logged in. I'm able to comment on articles.
Any ideas?
I've rebooted, restored from backup, reinstalled the app.

I have the same issue, I've tried the following and nothing has worked:
I am running the newest version of The Daily, iTunes version 10.2.1, Mac OS 10.6.7 on my MBA and iPad 4.3.1. I've deleted The Daily from both the iPad 2 and the Mac, rebooted both and reinstalled with no luck, it still gave me the same error message that it could not connect to iTunes. I then did a full restore with no luck. I just completed erasing everything on the iPad, deleted all of the iPad apps from my MBA and set up the iPad as a new iPad not using anything from my old setup, still no luck. I am still getting the same error message: "iTunes Error Cannot connect to iTunes".
When I go into account Information it does not recognize my email and password even though I reset it in iTunes. Everything else on the iPad works with that email and password including all the other paid apps I reinstalled trying to fix this issue.
PLEASE HELP

ICloud full, cannot access iCloud drive and cannot deleter files...

I am getting messages saying that my iCloud is full. Okay, I get it. So I look up how to free up space and find all the instructions on how to not have apps sync (which I've done) and to delete photos (which I've done), yet it's still full. I'm sure there are plenty of audio files on there that could be taken off as I do have iTunes Match however, I cannot for the life of me figure out HOW to delete any files off iCloud. I have tried accessing iCloud Drive on various computers and I get error messages and pop screens telling me to reload - shocker. So, how in the **** am I supposed to figure out what is taking up all this space on my iCloud and then, how do I delete it? I don't really "save" anything so I'm not sure what to do. Anyone else having the same issue and if so, any solutions? I do not want to buy more space but I want to be able to back up my phone. Technology is great when works, but this isn't working and it's frustrating. Thanks for anyone that has any helpful advice.

Itunes match; a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, cannot delete it or replace the track/ data b) now have 9k tracks "stuck" in icloud and cannot delete them no matter what I do. eh?

Hi
I;m having so itunes match issues.
I ran itunes match. I';ve since foumd, I think:
a) if incorrect genre etc data has been uploaded to icloud, I cannot find how to delete it and reupload correct song and data. I am presently assuming that once songs are matched, the meta-data, genre, etc etc thats uploaded is now treated as 'the master' by itunes.
Question: if I want to change the genre on a track, whats the correct way to overwrite the data held in the icloud? if I delete the track i just bring down the old incorrect genres again!
b) I've deleted from the icloud all my music tracks (select all, delete, Y to delete tracks from icloud). I have turned off itunes match on my ipad, iphone, appletv mac and windows pc. I've deleted the itunes library files too from mac and pc in desperation. But hours /days later, when I turn on itunes match on mac or pc, it tells me i still have 9k tracks in icloud. All with the old, wrong meta-data ready to mess up my [now-corrected] files back on my pc!
I cannot delete them no matter what I do. The number of tracks in the cloud was 12k, now 9k so its reducing, by about 1500 tracks a day.
does it really take itunes servers that long to delete the tracks I've asked it to delete, or am i seeing garbage data?
is there a quicker way of deleting all my itunes match library, songs and data?

Thanks for the helpful replies.
My original intention was to 'upgrade' some of my tracks. In those cases, I'd iTunes matched, and the process was completed.
I later downloaded those new tracks but found during that process, the tracks I was downloading had the old metadata.
I guess the idea there is to update the local genres, 'update iTunes match' and wait. How long, I don't know but that's the current solution,yes ?
Thing is I was trying to get my local library updated and, as I thought it, back in order, but was finding my local genre updates were being overwritten. I had a lot of tracks that kept on stating they could be downloaded so I thought the new files hadn't been copied down...
I think I was trying to get match to do too many things at once.
Deleting my tracks in the cloud? Was an act of desperation to start over with all known good genres locally and to re- upload, start over. I'd read in some forum or other to do that, I guess that was wrong,
Ok so I will.. Err,
A wait and see how long it takes to delete my tracks in the cloud ie let it complete the process I'd already started.
B Correct my local tracks genres
C Wait til those changes propagate up to the iCloud ( or whatever the right term is)
Q1: How long should I wait for A and C to complete?
Q2: Is it 100% definite that local genre changes will get copied up to the cloud, when I 'update iTunes match'?
I don't see any animated cloud icon, but I will watch for it!
Thanks again

Downloaded an app on my iphone and cannot remove.

i downloaed the iphone app from this site: http://jimandkelly.net/go2snowshoe
and i cannot remove it.
when the iphone is is connected to itunes, the app "go2snowshoe" does not appear so there is nothing for me to uncheck or delete and i cannot seem to remove it from my phone.
can someone help me remove the app?
thanks.

that method no longer works.
not sure if that solution stopped with the iphone 5 hardware or the ios 6.
the current way to delete an app is through itunes and again, as i indicated above, this particular app does not appear in itunes so i am unable to delete/uncheck it.
thanks.
