Can't delete apps or even move to trash

everytime i drag an app to the trash can it disappears for a second then it appears again back to where it was with the "no" symbol in white then stays back in the application folder in the same exact spot. it wont stay in the trashcan to delete it... any ideas what is wrong?

    If the photos were synced to the iPod you have to unsync them. Unsyncing is also covered here

  • How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad?

    How can I delete apps in iTunes and have that sync to my iPhone and iPad? I don't want to delete 3 separate times for each item. I just carefully chose 30-35 apps to get rid of via iTunes, hoping it would sync to my devices, only to find I have to repeat the process on my iPad, take notes, then repeat it on my iPhone. It wasn't always so tedious was it?
    Here's the "Help" I got from Apple. They even quoted my question back to me then proceeded to answer with something very different and completely missing the point.
    I understand that you would like to delete the Apps. I know how eager you are to get the required information and I will be happy to assist you.
    You can remove individual songs, audiobooks, and videos from your iPod, iPhone, or iPad. Removing an item from your device doesn't delete it from your iTunes library.
    To remove items from a device other than an iPod shuffle, first make sure that iTunes is set up to manually manage items.
    1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    2. When the iPod, iPhone, or iPad icon appears in iTunes, select it.
    3. Unless your device is an iPod shuffle, click the Summary tab and make sure "Manually manage music and videos" or "Manually manage music" is selected.
    4. If the disclosure triangle to the left of your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices) is closed, click the triangle so that you can see the device's contents.
    5. Select the item you want to delete and press the Delete key.
    This was not helpful in any way and I am still unable to delete apps on my devices in a global, iTunes based way. Each device still requires its own independent process.

    Match was off.  I made all of the changes and then went through the "Turn on iTunes Match" option.  I now have deleted some tracks, edited the Metadata in CDDA, and then added it back.  This worked fine, but it is not a good solution.
    I just tried making some edits and use the "Update iTunes Match" and that seemed to work.  It looks like the real answer is that Match must be up and operational, then you can make changes and run the Update to incorporate the changes.  However, if Match has a problem then Signing Out and back in to your store account and going through the process of Turning On Match (were you get the questions, "Add this Computer to Match" will overwrite any changes. 
    Since this relies on the stability of iTunes, I won't be making a lot of changes between updates.

    The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

    What apps are you trying to delete? Apps that come on the phones cannot be deleted in this fashion. Only apps you purchase from the app store can be deleted.

  • 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

  • I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

    I can't delete apps on my iPad does anybody knows how to fix it. Also I can't open any iWork apps ,they open but won't show anything.

    If the whole iPad freezes then something else is going on. Try this next. Close all apps in the recents tray and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    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.

  • How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?

    How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application.     Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb  

    This is ridiculous!
    Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
    I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
    This is bad for:
    1. The user (me)
    2. The app developer - lost download.
    3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
    Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!

  • 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.
