Can't delete or retire application because of a (Non-existent) dependent Task sequence

Hello.
I am trying to delete an outdated application from my SCCM environment.
However when i try to delete I get the warning that the application cannot be deleted because of 1 dependent task sequence.
I have been through every single task sequence and there is no reference to the application in any of them.
The application also no existing deployment types and and no deployments.
If I look in revision history for the app, it shows Revision 23 but I do not have the option to delete it.
How can I permanently delete this application from SCCM?

Hi,
Have you tried to delete the revision history after retiring the application?
Best Regards,

    Hello aweirandyski.1975,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    From what you're describing appears to be Activation Lock, a security measure provided by Apple that makes it harder for people to use a lost or stolen device.  You will need to enter the password for the Apple ID the device is prompting you for.

  • My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

    My first apple id is wrong because my email address was wrong!I can not delete my icloud account because my email address is wrong! Help me please

    First go here - https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and login under the manage tab.  Check your information and be sure it is all correct.
    An AppleID is nothing more than an email address, so if you see another email address in the store, then someone has logged in with a different AppleID than yours.  Did you let someone else use your iPhone?

  • HT1926 I am trying to delete an old version of itunes in my ibook G4 so I can install the newest version and can not delete the old version because it says I don't have enough privileges, help?

    I am trying to delete an old version of itunes in my ibook G4 so I can install the newest version and can not delete the old version because it says I don't have enough privileges, help?

    iTunes is not installing because its incompatible with your OS. When installing the correct version the new version will update the older version, there is no need to uninstall first.
    The last version of  iTunes compatible with OSX 10.4 is iTunes 9.2.1
    You can down load iTunes 9.2.1 here:

    Hi Konnie,
    Look for any orphan PWA instances in the farm by running the below commands:
    > Retrieve the List of PWA instances in the farm including the orphaned ones: 
    $serviceapp = get-spserviceapplication | ? {$_.TypeName -like "*Project*"}
    $pwainstances = $serviceapp.Sitecollection
    $pwainstances | ft name, id
    > Look for the properties of the instances by running the below commands and find the one which is orphaned
    $toberemoved = $pwainstances | ? {$_.Id -eq "491b0247-fb73-46ac-89ac-fd39db184995"}
    $toberemoved
    > Once the orphaned PWA is identified delete the orphan entry by running the below command
    $toberemoved.delete()

  • I can't delete an itunes account that my xhusband also has on his iphone and my email account as well.  He can read my emails but I can't delete this itunes account because I can't access it for various reasons.  Short of paying apple to delete is a way?

    I still think my xhusband can see my emails on his iphone since I had downloaded an app on his iphone using my itunes account. Now I can't get into this account for various reasons.  Is there any way of deleting this itunes account short of paying apple to do it?

    You can't delete an iTunes accounr/Apple ID. All you can do is stop using it. What you can do is change your Apple ID password, as well as the password for your email account. That will put an end to this.

  • HT1918 How can I delete a hidden application

    When viewing my account I have a hidden app that I would like to remove completely, anyone know how to do this?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you mean in your purchased items, you can't delete it, only hide it. (you can't change history, which is what your purchase history is.

  • Can't delete bulk mail message because can't see end of error message

    My problem started trying to send bulk mail. I received the message "cannot send message using the server outgoing..... The server “outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net” did not recognize the following recipients:"
    The problem is it is showing all the addresses I put in which doesn't end at the bottom of the screen. I guess at the end of the box, there must be some kind of choice I can click, but I just can't see it. I tried changing the screen resolution but still can't see the end of the message. I have to Force Quit to get out of Mail. How can I delete this message?

    I am having exactly the same problem as I run a rugby club and am trying to sent to circa 500 people. However I get exactly the same problem you have described. The only way I have found of getting rid of the offending message is to quit\force quit mail and then relaunching. If it tries to send again I turn off AIrport and this puts the message into the outbox from where you can delete it.
    Some ISP's in th UK limit how may recipients you can send a mail to to stop bulk mailers but the mac servers will sometimes let you send to in excess of 60.
    I'll try and let you know if I find a way around this.

  • 2012R2 Application installation steps after deploying OS from Task sequence is slow after applying hotfix 2910552

    We are currently using CM2012r2 for Endpoint protection, and in trying to save licensing costs, I have been given the task of doing imaging and application deployment through CM as well... everything started off well... noticed that imaging took a lot longer
    than I remembered when I used CM2007 at my previous employer. Found we needed hotfix 2910522 and what took an hour to download now only takes 5 minutes (yay!) Then started other strange issues.  Mostly the fact that in the task sequence, the install application
    blocks (we have 3 with 4-8 apps each) suddenly got really slow to execute. (boo!)  The application blocks eventually finish, but take about 5 hours and only the last block actually installs.    For example: 7zip takes 15 minutes to "install"
    but since it isn't in the last block, it doesn't in fact install on the system.
    so here is what I know so far:
    Updated the boot image after applying the hotfix
    Added the hotfix to the Windows and configmgr setup step command line to install the patch
    Verified that all applications install correctly outside of the task sequence.
    Created a new task sequence just in case the hotfix messed something up.
    here is what I've noticed:
    Only happens on workstations that have been imaged previously by CM (even if I remove the machine from AD and CM)
    New machines image just dandy
    not hardware specific (tested on 5 different laptop models and 3 desktop models)
    workstations that have the issue, when finished, only installed the applications from the last block (4 apps) and none from the previous 2 blocks (16 applications)
    If imaged new (not previously known) it installs the client correctly and it checks in, ones with the issue are in internet only mode and don't see the PKI cert for the machine, and will not check in.
    Things I've checked, double checked, verified, and done:
    All applications have the box for "allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action..."
    applications are on all distribution points
    Distribution points are healthy
    One MP/DP was complaining about how it couldn't access a SMS folder.  uninstalled the roles, let it sit over the weekend, reinstalled this morning
    Verified that the servers were on 10Gb full and were not throwing error on the line
    Antivirus scanning was not scanning the store (used the built in template for scep)
    Next steps that I am going to try:
    create a new task sequence and split up install application blocks to only have single applications in them
    recreate the boot wim for the media
     Thanks in advance

    So this issue of yours is in B&C -task sequence? You're using capture CD for capturing, why? Why not automate the build entirely.
    I'd suggest you add this:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us to your BUILD image (either online of offline, in the WinPE -phase), it fixes many WMI related problems.
    After you've done your golden .wim, deploy it to your clients.
    We don't do a build and capture because certain applications require handling on our part. Management has said it needs to be a certain way, therefore this is how we have to build it.  (mostly settings, and views that can't be controlled through registry,
    Group Policy, etc.)  There are users that if they have to click on an accept button or it isn't the right color, or they want a different icon in their lab, then they go to the top and it comes back down to us, and our lives become miserable.
    We create the image in audit mode, capture it using boot media, and sequence in things that are updated constantly (flash, shockwave, java, etc.) through the task sequence.
    in relation to that KB, why would it work on new machines but not ones that have been touched before?

  • Firefox 31.0 manual update can't complete copy to Applications because item "Firefox" already present even though previous version deleted, update quits.

    Tried update several times, deleted version 30.0 first. Don't have a working copy of Firefox at the moment.
    When trying to quit Firefox 30.0 in order to update, it crashed. Don't know whether this is relevant.
    Am going to try installing an old version.

    How did installing an older version go?
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [[Troubleshoot and diagnose Firefox problems#w_5-reinstall-firefox|here]].
    <b>WARNING:</b>Do not use a third party uninstaller as part of this process. Doing so could permanently delete your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]] data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be easily recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> See [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]. <!-- Starting in Firefox 31, the Firefox uninstaller no longer lets you remove user profile data.Ref: Bug 432017 and https://support.mozilla.org/kb/uninstall-firefox-from-your-computer/discuss/5279 [Fx31] Windows uninstaller will no longer offer the option to remove personal data -->

  • Can't delete itunes to update because of missing msi file

    Had virus issues with my computer.  Now finally got the add or remove list to re-populate and tried to update iTunes.  Kept saying error, can't find missing msi file. Read to manually delete all apple/itunes files including quicktime, etc.  Itunes won't delete because computer needs to find this missing msi file.  Have rebooted numerous times.  Should be  a quick fix, I would think.  Please advise!! Missing my itunes  Thanks

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Help I can't delete a .mov file, because it is in use

    Hi I my mac will not delete a quicktime .mov file because it apparently is in use. I don't know where it is in use, because I deleted the imovies it was in and I have no open windows of it on my computer. I am thinking it might still be uploading to youtube, but I thought I canceled that upload because I accidentally started to upload the same file again. However when I go to youtube it does not say the video has been uploaded again, so I don't know where the file is in use at. Does anyone know how to get rid of the file, or find where the file is in use?

    I fixed it! The .mov was in a temporary (something) imovie folder, so I took the .mov out of the trash then emptied it. By emptying it I got rid of the folder that the .mov was in. Then I put the .mov back in the trash and then I was able to empty it. The temporary something imovie folder was using the .mov for some reason. 

  • I'm trying to back my phone with iCloud but the message "you can not delete your icloud account because your iPhone is being restored" appears under storage and back up then when I click on storage and back up the icloud back up is grey so I can't clickit

    Need help with backing up on icloud. It's just grey the and can't click it.

    Sorry, I was gone for a while.  The reason I asked is that many employers will push a restriction to the phone to prevent it from backing up to iCloud.
    The only time I've seen this before it was the result of a server issue at Apple's end, and would normally clear up on it's own in 3-5 days.  If you can't wait, you'll probably have to contact Apple support for help with this: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

  • Can't install 7.7. it's looking for non-existant drive G:

    Everytime i try to install i get an error message cannot find drive G:
    I only have up to an F drive. Have tried plugging camera and iphone to usb ports to create a "dummy drive G" but no good. Pleeeease help! i really need the new upgrade for my iphone and it requires itunes 7.7!!

    I've been fighting the same battle the past 2 days, but when I followed these numbered directions above I thought it would work. Wrong, it still said "A later version of iTunes is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue".
    One of the things I noted on the iTunes support page is that VBscript must be installed, and I thought I had it since I have the file: (C:\windows\system32\vbscript.dll).
    Anyway, I downloaded VBscript 5.7 from the Microsoft web site, ran the installation, rebooted, and tried reinstalling just the iTunes.msi as described in step 5 since I'd already installed the other components. The install worked this time. I was flabbergasted! Trust me on this, I must have spent 10-12 hours trying everything to uninstall old components, clean up files & directories, and remove all possible registry entries manually, and I could not get past the error message saying I already had a newer version. Only after installing VBscript was I able to get iTunes installed and running!
    It is extraordinarily frustrating to have to spend so much time and effort to run a simple software install that should have taken 10 minutes. The developers who thought it was a good idea requiring VBscript be installed on the host machine ought to flogged!
