Can't delete app. No "X" appears when I tap and hold to delete an app. iOS 7.
I am trying to delete an app. I know the process. Apps wiggle but no "X" appears that will app low me to delete. Why? Any suggestions?
Make sure the App you are tying to delete is not a preinstalled Apple App, as those cannot be removed.
If you are sure its not a default Apple app, make sure that "Deleting Apps" is not restricted in Settings->General Restrictions.

Hello. I have a problem. I cannot delete any apps from my ipad. It won't even wiggle when i tap and hold on the icon. There's also no restrictions and passcodes in my settings. My photos on camera roll even get lost once i shut down my ipad. Please help.
The preinstalled apps, those that came as part of the iOS, cannot be deleted and will not shake or provide the black circle-X for deletion.
Others should do that if you touch and hold for a few seconds.
If they are not, do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears and it restarts, ignoring the red slider if that appears. -
Why can't I delete my most recently opened apps? Before IOS7 I could get them to wiggle then close them.
Double tap the home button and swipe upwards on the preview of the App (not the App Icon).

Does your tapped handler get called?
It looks like your buttons stack panel may be on top of your ellipses. Try reversing that so the ellipses are on top:
<StackPanel Name="ButtonsStackPanel" Grid.Row="1" Orientation="Horizontal">
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
<AppBarButton Label="tfg" Icon="Add"/>
</StackPanel>
<TextBlock x:Name="DotsTextBlock" Text="" FontSize="14" FontFamily="Segoe UI Symbol" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top"
Tapped="DotsTextBlock_OnTapped">
</TextBlock>
You can also use the Segoe UI Symbol "More" character to match the standard more ellipses rather than trying to implement your own. A step further would be to make it a button so that it has proper clickable semantics and will work properly with the
keyboard, although for this specific use you can get away without it since you'll provide standard Windows+Z AppBar behaviour. -
After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?
Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!
JaxxdiggsPersonally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

The following message appears when I try to turn on the iPad..."Not enough storage..this iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. You can manage your storage in settings." When I tap Close or Settings nothing happens
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

What is your operating system?
What is your Reader version?
Are these local or online documents? If online, in what browser? -
what if i want to delete an app; i tap and hold the app until it jiggle, but there's no "x" to delete.
If you're talking about deleting (as opposed to closing) an app, you do it just like on previous versions; hold until jiggle, press red X. If they're jiggling but you're not seeing the X, you may need to check your Restrictions. Some apps (Apple included) can't be deleted.

I downloaded the iOS7 and I can't force quit the open apps. I was told, "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it." Unfortunately, that didn't work. Any comments please & thank you
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear. Prior to loading 1OS7 it was easy to force quit applications that were still open by double clicking and seeing an a red "x" you had to click on.
It doesn't work that way with the new operating system and the instructions that were given "Force-quitting apps is a little different though: Instead of tapping and holding on the icon, you flick a thumbnail up to dismiss it."
Do not work.
I am looking for anyone who can help figure this out. -
The utility's menu isn't coming up when I press and hold r and command after restarting
I have a Macbook air and The utility's menu isn't coming up when I press and hold r and command after restarting. I'm trying to restore my mac to factory settings. I have version 10.10.2 OS X Yosemite.
Then try:
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer. -
my ipad mini does not restart when i press and hold the home and power buttons for a minute or more. what do i do? i really need to access some information on it. please help.
You need to connect to iTunes and restore.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
You may need to put the device into recovery mode, this is covered in the link on this page.
Did you back up the device? -
I put a disc in my Imac and it doesn't recognize it, and i can't eject it. I tried to restart it and hold the mouse button, but that didn't work.Please help.
Try restarting your iMac by holding down the eject button on your keyboard. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2097

When I click on the app, it close straight away, even if I download a free app it is still the same. I really need to fix it fast!!!
TaMaTchI wrote:
it stayed for a little bit longer then before but it ended up closing afterward
Try this...
Turn the Pod Off...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the iPod On.
If, after this, you are still having issues then try the Steps in the above Link for Troubleshooting Apps... -
How can I make the comments field appear when the operator is debugging a test?
When a test is being written the comments field is being utilized for information relating to what the test is doing and how to solve certain problems that arise. It is basically a quick place for the technician to look at when they are attempting to debug a board. However it appears when you view the sequence files these are off to the right side of the screen but when running the debug engine and the technician sets a break point then these comments are no longer visible to the user off to the right of the screen. Is there any way to have it include the comment in the data displayed when tracing through a test step by step. The technician can double click on each step but it would be alot mor
e user friendly and timly if these could be displayed just to the right of the execution flow column.Hello John,
I assume you are talking about the sequence editor. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to view the comments associated with a step inside of the execution display window (i.e during run-time). If you are using the operator interface, then you may extract the comment associated with a step and post a custom UI message that contains this information. The operator interface can then be modified to respond to this UIMessage and update its display accordingly.
To post a UIMessage with this data, you must first obtain a PropertyObject reference to the step you are trying to extract the comment from. Then use the "Comment" property of the PropertyObject class to obtain the comment value.
Unfortunately, the Sequence Editor discards all custo
m UIMessages, and you will have no way of viewing the comment using the above method.
Hope this helps.
