Can not delete app by just holding down app icon until it jiggles

I can not delete apps on my IPad no longer. When pressing down on app icon it jiggles but does not delete when I press X

Try resetting the iPad (hold the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears). Then try deleting the apps again.

HT201365 How do I turn off applications to keep my battery level up? I used to be able to press the bottom button twice and hold down an icon until it jiggled and had an x on it. That doesn't seem to work with the new upgrade.

With the new OS 7 I can't figure out how to shut down applications to save battery. I used to double click the bottom button and select applications to " x" out of. How does this work now?

double tap the home button and swipe up on the app screenshot.
Having apps in the multi task doesn't effect your battery life.

My iPod will not delete apps when I hold down the app. Why?

DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes. If you then sync with your iPod the app will also be deleted from your iPod.

My facebook app went dark and had the word "waiting" below it and I can not delete so I downloaded a new facebook app which is ok but the old app is still there but now the word "waiting" is gone and still cannot delete.

This is my boilerplate respone for the "waiting apps" problem. Give these suggestions a try in order.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. Apps may also be able to be deleted in Settings>General>Usage>Storage if you cannot get the X to pop up on the icon.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Can not delete the bookmarked apps in Iphone Screen

I have bookmark some apps in my Iphone Screen and I can not delete them any more, I try to delete through Itune and manual delete and succesfully deleted but soon after restart the Iphone all deleted apps are back, please help

What you can try is the following:
In the Aperture library package are two folders, one named Folders and the other named Albums. Inside these two folders are files, one named TrashFolder.apfolder the other namedtrashAlbum.apalbum.
With Aperture not running move those two to the desktop and then start Aperture holding down the option and command keys and rebuild the library. The two files will be recreated. Can't guarantee it will correct your trash problem but its worth a shot.
As always whenever you're mucking about in the package there is always the chance that the library could be damaged so a backup is a very good idea.
good luck

IPhone 4S with iOS 6 - Can not delete an app

After upgrading to iOS 6, I don't see the little x icon to delete an app. When I hold the icon for some time, I can see the icons wiggiling, but don't see the "x" mark on the top left corner. As a result I can not delete any app from the phone. Any idea what's happening?

Good to know.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago.

For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.

Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea

Which way are you swiping across its track name ? On iOS 7 you need to swipe from right to left, which should reveal a Delete button on its right-hand end

I can not delete the tap bar that just showed up this morning?

I can not delete unwanted message because I am not getting the delete button popup to activate deletion. Where did it go!?

I can not delete unwanted emails because my delete prompt button is not appearing after I prompt edit and choose my email to edit. How do I make the prompt button to appear on edit page as before? Thanks MRH

Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
then check and see if you can delete emails.
