How can I delete an icon that I inserted onto my home page by accident?

I was playing around with it and it worked, but now I'm trying to delete it.
Thanks
Maggie

Hold your finger on the icon for a few seconds and the icons will start to wiggle and anything you have added to the screen will show a ( x ) at the top left of the icon. Tap the X and confirm the deletion of the icon.

    How can I delete a download that is hanging up?

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • TS1702 How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    How can I delete an app that was purchased?

    Delete an App Store app: Touch and hold its icon on the Home screen until the icon starts to jiggle, then tap the "x" . You can’t delete built-in apps. When you finish, press the Home button.
    Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge

  • Two apple I.D., one with the .me email address I want, how can I delete it so that I can use that .me address on my other account?

    I have two apple I.D., one with the .me email address I want, how can I delete it so that I can use that .me address on my other account
    Or is it possible to transfer the purchases (apps) to my new .me account so that I can re-download them in the future without having to switch accounts?

    You can't do this, and you can't transfer purchases between accounts. There is no conflict about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match (the ID you've been using for iTunes) and using the other ID for iCloud.

  • How can I delete plug-ins that I do not want then anymore?

    how can I delete plug-ins that I do not use anymore?

    Uninstall them by deleting them from the Library:
    The plug-ins usually are installed in the Applications Support Folder -> Aperture -> Plug-Ins, either in your your User Library or in the System Library:
    your home folder/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins/

  • How can I delete the podcasts that I have not downloaded but show up as being in the cloud

    How can I delete the podcasts that show up as being in the cloud when viewing them in the List mode? Most of these are past episode that I previously downloaded and then deleted. I know that I can  look at my podcasts in Unplayed mode which removes those in the cloud but then I can't sort them first by podcast title and then by episode date the way I can in List mode.   This was not a problem before iTunes 11.1 when I could simply delete those in the cloud.

    That is discouraging.  However I do notice that if I view my podcasts in My Podcasts mode they are grouped and sorted better than in Unplayed mode and the ones in the cloud are not shown. However although I prefer the one window view of List mode to the two windows My Podcast mode, My Podcast mode does at least indicate how many unplayed episodes I have from each podcast.  This would almost be acceptable except that partially listened to podcasts, while still there, can only be identified by highlighting the podcast title on the lefthand sidebar, (although the number of completely unplayed episodes are listed on the left hand sidebar).  As someone who often listens to a podcast over two or more days I fear I could forget which ones I have only partially listened to and would have to go down the entire left hand sidebar list highlighting each podcast to remind myself.  I really find the List mode the most informative and easiest way to view my podcasts and really wish Apple had not messed with it

  • How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone but not in my itunes?

    How can I delete duplicate songs that are appearing on my iphone

    Hi jpere041,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You can delete individual songs, artists, albums, playlists, compilations and composers from your iPhone. To delete an item, swipe across it, then tap Delete.
    This information is on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
    The song is deleted from iPhone, but not from your iTunes library on your Mac or PC, or from iCloud.

  • How can I delete Duplicated icon from the dashboar

    Please can someone help me : How do I  delete duplicated icon from dashboard, like the  Safari Icon and System Preference, and remain witht only one of each, that keeps working?  Thank you

    Well, Aleksdev and Paul_31, you helped me a lot, , thank you so much.
    Let me tell what worked.
    I went to the dock and deleted the good Safari and System icons, then I draged the ones on the dashboard to the trash.
    Then I restarted,  and they were no more either on the dock nor on dashboard.
    To put the safari icon back to the dock, I had to go Applications and drag the Safari Icon back to the dock. It worked, but with the icon for System Preferences, it did nit work this way.
    But never mind the important is that Safari icon stays always at the dock .
    So, one more time, guys thank you so much for the help.
    Maybe I'll be asking some more questions in the future, if you don't mind. I'm not an I-MAC specialist. I'm new on Apple world.
    Best regards!

  • How can I delete an app that doesn't show as installed but is?

    I can not delete an app that is on my iphone 5.  Unfortunely I do not remember the name of it!  It shows up as a moveable round botton within a square on all opened screens. When tapped it opens up four options: Favorites, Siri, Device and Home.  It was a cool time saver with the iOS5, but with the addition of comand center in iOS7 It is rather in the way.  Does anyone know the name of this app and or how to uninstall it??  Thanks for any help

    That did it, it's gone!  I don't understand, is it uninstalled? 
    THANK YOU so much

  • How can i delete a toolbar that has been added?

    Somehow I have a toolbar for a shop at home site that has been added to my list of toolbars. It takes over my browser when I'm surfing and takes me to places i have not selected. How can i delete this toolbar? I believe I have the latest version of firefox and i am running windows 7

    This sounds like spamware you might have installed by accident. If you go into Add-Ons (Firefox -> Add-Ons) it should be under 'Extensions'. Click the 'Remove' button and that should get rid of it.
    You might also find it under 'Programs and Features' in Control Panel. Remove it if it's there.

  • How can I create an icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?

    How do I create a icon that when clicked will open and maximize an image file?  I have tried to use the simple image widget with maximize upon tap/click - however I am can only size the image really small and put on the page.  I'd prefer to have a graphic that when clicked it simply opens up the image.  This is for a very simple question/answer book.   The user is suppose to look at a picture and locate something.  I want to put an 'Answer' graphic on the image and then the user can click the 'answer' graphic and it will open up the picture with the answer identified. 
    Is this possible?

    Have yiu tried the PopOver widget?  You can drop an image into it, maximise the image and the widgets window...But, you cannot get it full screen.
    With iBooks Author, you either learn to use what is available within the app, or look online for third party widgets to purchase which suit your project.

  • How can I delete suggested contacts that are not in my contact list?

    I inadvertently sent an email "reply all.". Now all 50 people show up when I get suggested recipients.  How can I delete them?

    Unfortunately, there is no way to delete those contacts in the current iOS - at least as far as I know. You just have to ignore them and eventually they will at least go to the bottom of the suggestion list that pops up in mail.
