Contacts cannot delete

I've just noticed that my iPads contacts no longer have the "edit" button. So I cannot delete or add contacts. How can I fix this?

You don't have the + sign on the left page or the Edit button on the right page? Try quitting the contacts app and then restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open 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 to close the apps. Restart the iPad. 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.
If that doesn't work, reset the iPad.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.

I cannot delete or edit contact..help

After I ran the 5.0update, I cannot delete or edit a contact. Any suggestions?

Bug! Temporary solution.
1. Go to your Message.
2. Open up the message that you had with the contact that you want to edit.
3. Scroll all the way up to first message and you will find a "Contatct >" button.
4. Click the button and you will find Edit button there.
Hope this help.

I cannot delete any contacts from my I phone 4. It is not indicating any delete or edit button for contacts.

I tried to delete some old unnwanted contacts from my I phone. But it does not show the delete or edit option in the contact list page.

My settings are fine. I believe the issue is because there is a typo in the email address to the person I am trying to send the email to. I am trying to open the email to correct typo but every time I try to open the email I get a message saying, "Cannot open email, email is being sent." I also cannot delete this email either.

Cannot delete file from disk after emailling that file like attachment

After i send some file from disk in Mail like attachment i cannot delete that file from disk unless i quit Mail. Like Mail is still using a file. Of course, that mail is in Sent mail, not in outbox.

This deeper than that. I created another account on the same iMac and it works in Harmony with my other devices and Documents in the cloud. I can only imagine the icloud account is somehow corrupted (I am on my macbook not iMac at the moment). There have been no updates to the Calendar, Contacts or Documents since early January on that account. I have spent 1hr on the phone with support and they were baffled as well. Only thing I can gove as insight to the problem is this, I was on the Mac Mini which was backed up on Time Machine. about 4 or 5 months ago I had to completley restore the Mac Mini becasue of the never ending circle on the load screen. The Backup failed to work it kept loading the issue and 4 or 5 times the circle of death kept coming up I would subsequently wipe the Mini and go further back in the back up until I go a copy that worked. I then loaded the Time Mache back up into my NEW iMac and wnet from there. It took about a month for this problem I am detailing above to start happening. It maybe a corrupt file loaded from the backup into the new iMac causing this problem. Best answer I can think of on my own???

When I access my google e-mail account on the I-pad my inbox has at least 6 e-mails with no sender and no subject (absent via I-phone, Mac or PC) I cannot delete them as they cannot be selected- how do I stop them and clear the ones there now?

Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cannot Delete file iCloud

I am having an issue with the New Late 2012 iMac and syncing numbers documents in the cloud.
1) I cannot sync a native document from the new iMac to the cloud via the Numbers Program. I can drag the document into the browser and update it that way
2) After doing this as a work around the document devlopes an error message making it unable to drag and drop 3 times seems to be the max allowed with this method
Spent an hour on the phone with Apple to no avail, I have tried
1) Deleteing icloud off all my devices Mini, Iphone, Ipad macbook air and iMac.
2) Yes I have made sure Docs in the cloud is turned on on all devices and the right icloud account is signed in
3) rebooted everything a few times
4) created another profile on the IMac which is able to update via the Native Numbers program and not the Browser as I was doing on profile 1.
The problem seems to be this file which is gray'd out and I cannot delete it off any device, the date that this started happening is the creation date of this document, so process of elimination I want to delete this document to see if this is corrupting profile 1 and disabling my ability to upload files via the native Numbers program.
Anyone have a document that is in the constant update state on icloud that cannot delete it with a new Mac? Its a very frustrating problem because I use the mac as the mother ship to handle presentations and spread sheets and its not pushing out what I do on it and its brand new..Considering doing a time machine restore on the new profile to see if that works..Anyone have some more thoughts, I have tried all the simple fixes thanks to Apple and a very nice female voice named Kerry.

Cannot delete users from the Central Management Console

I cannot delete users from the Central Management Console. I'm logged in to Enterprise as administrator but still get the following error:
There was an error while writing data back to the server: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Delete objects' (id - 22) for 'koberg' (id - 725415). Please contact your system or permissions administrator if you require this right.
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Oops, my mistake, sorry. Ok, so the Administrator cannot delete user koberg.
Check top level:
Logon to CMC, browse to Home > Settings and select the Rights tab. These are your top level settings. Factory default will show only Administrators and Everyone. Select the Net Access "Advanced" for the Administrators group. NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the top level! On the Advanced rights page, ensure the right to "Delete objects" is explicitly granted.
Then set for the Users top level folder:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. Select the "Rights" button. Again - NB: Do not select these group names links - they will jump you out of the Users top level folder! Set the Administrators group to "Full Control". Save.
That should be all you need. However, there is a possibility the previous admin was busy setting security not only at the account level, but on groups so we need to verify the user:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the Rights tab. If the Administrators is not set to (Inherited Rights), make it so, and when you select the "Update" button, you should see the Net Access update to "Full Control". If this is the case, you should follow these steps on each account and accomplish this.
And if you still can't delete it, verify the groups:
In the CMC, browse to Home, and select Users. In the User list, select koberg. In the koberg account page, select the "Member of" tab. Note all groups koberg is a member of. Then in the CMC, browse to Home, and select Groups. Select the name hyperlink for the group(s) that koberg belongs to. On the group page, select the Rights tab, and ensure the Administrators have (Inherited Rights) - Full Control on all of these, also. If not, set it.
Finally, I know you inherited this, but let's overview some basics of simplifying your deployment administration. Follow these guidelines, and your administration life will be so much easier.
1. The Everyone group should never have any subgroups. Ever. All accounts on the system are a member of the Everyone group. Adding subgroups to the Everyone group is redundant.
2. For simplicity's sake, Application level access should be set on the Adminstrators Group, and the Everyone group. I know there are customers who add groups to application rights. I don't understand why users would have an account on the system if they are not allowed access to InfoView, but it's your system.
3. From a report object perspective, the Everyone group should be set at the top level to "No Access". This will result in them having no rights on anything at all. You break this inheritance at the application level to give them access to InfoView and other apps. On folders and objects, you ADD groups, then assign (ADD) rights as desired.
4. If you can help it, never explicitly deny a right to any user or group for any object or application. Explicitly deny overrides any other setting. If a user belongs to group A and group B, and group A is explicitly denied a right, you can explicitly grant it for group B or the user all day long, and it will still be denied. Always try to put yourself in the position of adding groups/users, and adding rights, then inheriting as far down the folder tree as you can.

I cannot change my iCloud account on my phone. I cannot delete the iCloud account and my old apple ID is not recognized in the system. How do I get around this?

My new phone has an old apple ID associated with iCloud only. I cannot delete the account as it has "Find my iPhone" turned on. Additionally, it tells me that my password is incorrect from the old account, when I try to reset my password it tells me that my birthday is incorrect, and then when I try looking up my ID, it says that the old ID doesn't exist. Any ideas on what I can do? Any verification email sent would go to an address that hasn't existed for a couple years. Thank you!

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID. This is on an iPAD. It is not showing in Accounts. However, I cannot delete the mailbox,. Please advise

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID.
I am receiving email and I cannot delete the mailbox. Please advise.
the account is not viewable in settings.

I am assuming that this mail is coming into the Mail App, not another third party app, correct?
Is the AOL account showing up as its own mailbox in the mail app? (e.g. I see "All inboxes", "iCloud", and a third mailbox that is my second email address.)
Every "mailbox" except the "all inboxes" are going to be in the settings under mail, Contacts and calendars.
If the mail is coming into a mailbox that isnt the AOL mailbox, then it sounds like you have your AOL mail being forwarded to another email adress.

Cannot delete mails or rename folders in icloud mail

Hi evereyone,
I lately realized a strange behaviour of my iCloud mail account.
No matter where I try to rename or delete a folder (icloud.com, iPhone, iPod touch,2 iPads) I get an error message that it is not possible to do so.
If I try to delete a mail (yes, I chose the server's Trash folder in every device's advanced settings) it remains in the inbox,
but also shows up in th trash. So if I delete the same mail 5 times it's still there but there are also 5 copies in the trash.
My mail client of choice is "eM Client" because it can handle icloud mail, contacts and calendar.
Strange enough, I can delete mails in the client. So the IMAP inboxes of the client and my iDevices are not in sync.
But I also cannot delete or rename folders in the client.
No problems with my wife's own iCloud account.
I am using Windows 7 and Firefox. Same problem on Safari.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Bodo

Thanks mate! Who could have known this function was hidden in a tiny symbol on the other side of the screen... quite bad design by Apple and not self explanatory at all!

Cannot delete calendar items, even with delete permission

Hello,
we have applied the following GPO Setting on per User basis:
Store deleted items in owner's mailbox instead of delegate's Mailbox
As we moved from Lotus Notes to Outlook and are using some shared Mailbox, this option is a must have for us.
The negative part: A User that want's to share his calendar with someone else and gives delete permission (for example publishing Editor)
cannot delete items. If the Users gives "author" permission on his own "deleted items" Folder in his Mailbox, it's working.
When you know it, it seems logically, but uncomfortable for the user.
Is there another way to work around the issue, for example set the author automatically when applying delete permission on calendar items, if the mentioned GPO is applied.
It think this might be a good patch for Outlook :-)

Hi,
Just as you mentioned, it is logical and it's the expected behavior. This issue occurs because the Deleted Items folder is not granted permissions when delegates are set in Outlook. There is no way to automatically set the author when applying delete
permission on calendar items. If it's an unwanted item, we can just hold Shift key and delete the calendar item. This will permanently delete the item without moving it to Deleted Items folder. Or, we have to grant the delegate at least author level permissions
to the Deleted Items folder of the owner's mailbox in Outlook. See:

Cannot delete emails

Hi,
I sent some emails with large attachments (up to 10MB) copied to me and one of them appears in the inbox in a pale orange colour. I cannot delete these large messages nor any other messgaes. Every time I delete a message, it reappears back.
I cannot receive email messages into my mail account on my computer, but I can see new emails on my iphone. I have 6 email messages that I can read on my iphone that I haven't rec'd on my computer.
I am using gmail as my email server. I also tried going into my gmail webmail and deleting the large emails but they keep appearing back.
In addition, my Mail keeps crashing.
Thanks,
Aarti

I cannot delete the messages from my mailbox

I cannot delete any messages from my mailboxes. Please help

If you are using the native Apple email app you should be able to swipe to the left and delete. If you can't then remove and reinstall the email account. If that does work
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.
