Can't delete Facebook app and reinstall

Having problems with Facebook app tried to delete and reinstall will not accept password and then done

Many apps don't support that method of uninstalling. See the quote below from OS X Yosemite: Install, update, and uninstall app
Uninstall apps
You can uninstall apps you got from the Mac App Store, from other websites, or from discs. You can’t uninstall apps that are part of OS X, such as Safari and Mail.
Apps downloaded from the Mac App Store: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, hold down an app’s icon until all the icons begin to jiggle, then click an app’s delete button . If you later want the app, you can reinstall it from the Mac App Store.
If an icon doesn’t have a delete button, it can’t be uninstalled in Launchpad. For more information about Launchpad, see Use Launchpad to view and open apps.
Apps that have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. If an app is inside a folder, it might have an Uninstaller. Open the app’s folder. If you see Uninstall [App] or [App] Uninstaller, double-click it and follow the onscreen instructions.
Apps that don’t have an uninstaller: In the Finder sidebar, click Applications. Drag the app from the Applications folder to the Trash (located at the end of the Dock), then choose Finder > Empty Trash.
If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, select the app in the Trash, then choose File > Put Back.
WARNING: When you empty the Trash, the app is permanently removed from your Mac. If you have any files that you created with the app, you may not be able to open them.

I have the same thing happening on my iPod Touch 5th gen. Been happening for at least a month. I have updated to the most recent version of iOS which hasn't solved the issue. Must be a bug that they didn't get around to resolving yet, a year later. Really annoying to have it pop up when you are in the middle of a game though.

I've had my iPhone 4 for about 4 months now, and suddenly some apps aren't working. They open and appear to work, but as soon as you try to do something it doesn't load. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I also force shut down my phone. I synced it to iTunes. Nothing is working. Does anyone know what I can do?

Basic troubleshooting steps oultlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
You need to go through all steps in succession until your problem is solved. If going through ALL these steps fails to resolve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

I don't have space on iPhone and iPad anymore.. So I bought 10GB on iCloud and backup both electronics. So what I wanna know is can I delete my apps and pics in order to get more space on my devices

You can delete apps (which will also delete their content), but they will only be redownloadable whilst they remain in your country's store - none of your iTunes downloads (apps, music, ibooks etc) use any of your iCloud storage, iCloud is for your backups (e.g. app's content, camera roll photos, messages, homescreen layout).
To delete an app, press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'
You can delete photos from your iPad, but if you want them back then you should copy them to your computer first.

You can also copy your downloads (apps, music, films etc) to your computer's iTunes by connecting your iPad and/or iPhone to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.

HT4623 I allowed security update 7.0.6 and it seems to blocked whatsapp. It wont connect. I deleted the app and reinstalled and it still says service unavailable.

I allowed my iphone 4 to update 7.0.6 which has blocked whatsapp and wont allow it to connect. I have deleted the app and reinstalled. I have restarted the phone after a power off and still nothing.

Your issue is urelated to iOS 7.0.6. Whatsapp had a server outage. It has allegedly been resolved.

I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?

I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. It seems that the application has simply stopped running. The little "searching" icon just spins and spins. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?

You can't delete it. you will need to do a restore.

I was having trouble with freezing up in Draw Something 2... I was told to delete app and reinstall. So..I deleted the app and tried to reinstall but I cannot find the app anywhere!? I have looked and searched the App Store, went through purchases, my games, Cloud...etc..what should I do now? I have purchased a lot of inks and other things in Draw 2,,,will I be able to recover all?

I still find Draw Something 2 available:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/draw-something-2/id602881939?mt=8
though I haven't tried to download it. Are you sure you're logged into the iTunes Store account through which you purchased the app, and you're following these instructions?

TS1702 My Facebook app froze so I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I've done this before with no problem in the past, but this time it says Facebook is installed, but there's no icon on my iPad. I can't delete it again because there is no icon. HELP!

My Facebook app froze so I deleted it and reinstalled it. I've done this several times in the past with no problems. This time, the app store says it's installed, but there is no icon. I can't delete it again, because there is no icon to delete and the app store has it listed as installed. The updates page says it is updated. I have shut my iPad down completely and restarted with no luck. I don't know what else to try. Suggestions?

Try resetting your device. Hold down the power button and the Home button on your iPad, ignore the slide to power off message, continue to hold both buttons until you see the white Apple logo. After it restarts try download the Facebook app again.

About a week ago I did a software update on my iPad, but I can't delete any apps, and it won't let me purchase or install any new apps either, what can i do??

Hi there, a week or so ago I did the software update for iOS 7.1.1, but since then, i can't seem to install new apps from the app store, and I can't delete any of my apps. I have already tried to reboot my iPad, i have removed my Apple ID, then did the reboot, and logged in again with the Apple ID, but still no change.
What can I do? I was thinking maybe the update didn't install correctly, and that I should try to reinstall it again, but I'm new to the iPad and it's software so I don't even know if it's possible...

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.

How can I delete an app and all of it's data...

I am at my wits end. I have the Medicare express plus app and I have had to recreate a new myGov account and link the app back up with the new myGov. However, because I had an old myGov account the app is still linked up to that and I can't uninstall and reinstall to put new data into it and link it to the new myGov. Stupid myGov account, if you stuff up your passwords 3 times it locks you out for the rest of your life. You have to create a new account with new email everything. DUMB!! Anyway....
I have deleted the app. I have deleted the info off iTunes and put in recycle bin then deleted the contents then synced. Whenever I go to reinstall the medicare app, it reinstalls the app with all the same info, which no longer works because it's linked to the old myGov. So it is not making me re register again at all. So frustrating. It is not in my icloud info either, so it's not picking it up from there, i've checked the settings on the iphone for that. Once I deleted it and synced on itunes, I then turned the phone off and on again and then tried to reinstall again, STILL giving me the same app with same data, which doesn't work anymore.. far out!!
I want to reinstall the app and have to start from scratch and register again. It just won't come to the party and it's starting to irriate me to no end. I just don't know how to fix it.
Can someone please help me??? Anyone?????
Lisa

It's not clear from your post if you've tried downloading the app again from the App Store directly on your phone. If you haven't I'd give that a try.

Can I delete photos app and start again? How?

Ok, I've been really daft and did not ever know that there was a photo trash can in iPhoto. So for years in iPhoto I've been deleting or rather just removing photos and not thinking much of it.
Just did my mac updates and notice I now have Photo. Open up and wow I now have 100s of photos that I thought I had deleted, some years ago.
With over 16,000 photos in total this is not a job I want to go through sifting and deleting the rubbish again.
I opened my time machine but can't work out how to go back. Is there any way of wiping photo and then starting again? It didn't ask me about importing or merging from iPhoto it seemed to have done it on its own. If the photos are still in iPhoto can I delete photo and reinstall after fixing the issue in iPhoto?
Afraid to do something and mess it up further and so looking for advice from someone who actually knows what they are doing!
Thank you!

You can't delete the Photos app as it's part of the system. You can continue to use iPhoto and your iPhoto library. The iPhoto app is still in the Applications folder. If it's iPhoto 9.6.1 it will work with 10.10.3. If it's not try getting 9.6.1 from the App Store following Terence Devlin's instructions below:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Regarding the "deleted" photos did you systematically empty the iPhoto Trash bin each time you delete photos?

TS1702 how can I delete camera app and reload?

I don't want to have to restore my phone just to reload the camera app. for some reason the app opens to blank screen. if I use the slide to camera, it works properly but that feature doesn't have the option to forward, send, etc photos. anyone got a solution as to how I can delete the camera app and reload it?

You can't delete any of the pre-installed apps. Try a reset:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
If that doesn't change things, a restore from backup is the next step.
