Can't delete apps or bookmarks from home screen

When I press and hold on an app or bookmark icon on my home screen, all of the icons start to wiggle, but none of them have an x that would allow me to delete them. What should I do??

If you can't remember setting one then have you got an Exchange email account on the iPad ? If so then you could try removing that account and see if the restrictions code is also removed.
If not and you can't remember the restrictions code, then if it wasn't on the iPad when you last backed up then you can try restoring to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

  • I want to free up pc disk space. Can i delete app data/files from my pc now I use iCloud??

    Hi
    I have not been able to find a relevant thread, if there is one please direct me.
    Sorry if my use of jargon/process is not that clear.
    I am using iCloud.
    Can I, and how do I, delete app data from my laptop and keep all apps running normally and still on my ipad and ipod as they currently are?
    My computer is overflowing and I see iCloud as a chance to clear some hard disk space.
    If i delete the apps from my itunes browser on PC then it deletes them from my entire Itunes account. Can I just go into my itunes folder and delete the base application files?
    If I remove files/apps and I sync my devices using my pc for music/video/photos etc then will it pick up that the apps and app data is missing from my pc?
    Thanks in advance

    Im trying to get an answer to this same question. My poor pc is almost out of hard drive space bc of all the iphone backups pre icloud. I want to know if I go into the itunes file on my pc and delete all those files will they still be safe considering they are on icloud now? Its frustrating bc I cant seem to get an answer to this question. Have you come across any information on this issue since posting this question? Thanks so much!

  • Social Feed on Apps being run from Home Screen on KDL65w850c (Android TV)

    Hi all I've recently bought a Sony kdl65w850c, which runs on an Android platform. I love the Social feeds when I'm watching free to air or cable TV, however is there a way I can run these feeds while launching apps from the Home Screen (Netflix, Youtube etc). The feature runs fine when connected to an external device through HDMI, but does not appear to work on the Android TV homescreen?? Any workaround to this? Cheers Rai

    vazandrew,
    Thank you for your reply.  I understand this is a user forum.  While Apple may not directly comment in this forum you can be sure they *are* monitoring this forum.  It may be people, it may be software, but they are watching.  The forums are a treasure trove of data about Apple products, how people use them, what's working, not working, etc.  Apple would be a fool to ignore the content in these forum posts.
    I do appreciate your trying to help with my issue.  I should have added in my original post that my Apple TV is on a wired GbE connection.  I do use wireless on my home network for mobile devices (iphone, ipad, etc.) but never for permanent/static devices like a computer or Apple TV device.  Wireless can not provide nearly the bandwidth of a wired connection nor the low latency.  I'll take the quality of the wired connection over the convenience of the wireless connection every time.
    I've had ISP outages during Apple TV use and never has this caused either the Apple TV to crash nor the app to crash.  When the uplink goes down, the app simply streams what's left in its buffer (usually a few minutes worth of content) and then stops playing while it tries to re-establish a connection to the source.  In my experience the app (any app I happen to be using at the time) has never crashed due to disruption of the WAN uplink.
    I just checked the forums a few minutes ago and noticed that another member has just posted on the exact same issue.  You responded to that user too.  This doesn't seem like a network related issue.  I think this is an Apple TV OS bug and I think we're going to see a lot more posts on this issue in the near future unless Apple quickly fixes the problem.
    Regards,
    Griffith

    Tap on the app you want to delete until the icon starts to shake, then tap the little cross to remove it from your device, press the home button to stop the shaking of the icons.
    Or deselect the app you don't want on your phone in the app pane in iTunes and sync after that.

  • How can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear

    how can i delete apps for IOS 7.0.6 when i press the home key the "X" key doesnt appear?

    Hi-
    This worked!. After updating to 7.0.6 a few days ago I was unable to delete apps. Called Apple support for help without success. I have NEVER entered a passcode to get in to restrictions so I know I didn't make this change (so I'm assuming that 7.0.6 did it for me). Apple wanted me to restore my iphone but thought I'd do more research first. Your advice solved the problem. THANKS!

    You can't currently permanently delete purchases, all you can do is hide them so that they are less visible : hiding and unhiding purchases

  • How can I delete apps from my computer?

    How can I delete apps from my computer and subsequently have this filter to my ipad, iphones?

    If you are syncing through iTunes to manage content on your iPad and iPhones (not using iCloud), you can "filter" what goes on each device in iTunes.
    To do this, select the device in the iTunes sidebar (under DEVICES).  Over to the right, go to the Apps tab.  On that screen, select the apps you want on the device.  Apply the change.
    So each device can have a different set of apps, from your overall library in iTunes that has everything.  There is no need to delete the app from your iTunes library in order for it to be delete from a device.
    But if you DO want to delete an app from your iTunes library, select Apps in the iTunes sidebar (under LIBRARY).  Over to the right, find and select the app you want to delete.  Right (or Control) click on the app and select Delete.

    Hey there Matt.dvs1,
    Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
    iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
    Hide your purchases
    Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
    From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
    Go to the iTunes Store.
    Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
    Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
    A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
    A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling
