How do I delete apps that don't have an X?

I read where someone else asked how to delete apps and they were told to hold the app til it wiggled then click an X that would appear in the app corner.  Well.....there is no X in the corner of the app I want to delete (stocks).  I have no use for this app and hate the extra clutter.  Thanks for any help.

If it is an app that is part of the Apple iOS install, you won't be able to remove it.
If it is a 3rd party app it should have an X when tapped and held.
Note you can also remove apps using the Apps tab in iTunes when the device is connected to your computer.

  • 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.

  • HT1349 How do I delete apps that I do not want on my device anymore?

    How do I delete apps that I do not want on my device anymore?

    DELETING APPS
    Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
    You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
    If there is No 'X' on any apps you have Downloaded... then check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps  =  Off / On
    If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes (Select the App and Press Delete on your Keyboard). If you then sync with your iDevice, the app will also be deleted from your iDevice.

  • How do you delete apps that you no longer want on your ipad COMPLETELY?

    My memory on my ipad is low.. and when you take a look at the apps in the store from recent ones i tried out.. they are still there.. how do you get rid of them ?
    i literally have 4 apps on my ipad. with only 5 songs 30 pictures ... why is the memory so bogged down?? ive seen many peoples devices and they have way more stuff than i do.. someone helppp??

    You cannot delete/remove apps from your App Store purchases. They will remain there forever but they are not necessarly still on the device. You can hide your past purchases but need to do so using iTunes.
    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4919
    As was mentioned, just because they are showing in your purchases, it does not mean that they are on the device. If you have deleted them from the device and are no longer on the device, they are not using any of your device's storage. You'l' have to look elsewhere to see what is taking up the space you are missing.
    Check Settings>General>Usage, then tap on Show all Apps to get an idea of what is physically on the device (Apps, Music, Photos, Videos, etc.)

  • Software apps that don't have .prb or prc files and driver solutions

    How do you install an .exe file on your pda?  I downloaded  (Pocket Divx Encoder for Palm OS) and noticed it only showed a .exe file saving? Also the quick install only wants to put the files on the SD expansion card?  Won't let me change destination option to save file on handheld.  Error message: the .exe file can't be loaded on the handheld. 
    If I uninstall Quick Install will it mess up my other files I have archived on my Palm Desktop?
    Is there a newer download for the wi-fi drivers for Tungsten E2?  Palm site shows a 2005 driver that is an .exe file
    Post relates to: Tungsten E2

    Dear WyreNut, et al.:
    I hope this is a post...
    I just added the wireless card and I could not get the software to install.
    1) I am using Windows Vista
    2) I operate as a limited user until I need to install something, then, I authorize the software within the limited account or logoff and logon again as administrator.
    The install software could not sense the sync. I had everything set, but it could not see that the pre-install sync occurred.
    Before I moved everything to an XP laptop, I searched my C drive for all PRC files. I did this while the installer was waiting for me to sync and click Next.
    I found the PRC. The EXE file extracts it, hides it on your hard drive, and deletes it after the installation. So while the software is waiting for you to click Next, find the PRC and COPY it to another folder. I added the PRC to the Installer, canceled the EXE program, and sync'd my E2. The software loaded, installed, and I became a wifi Palm user.
    I'll guess that the EXE makes sure you have a supported model before it unpacks the PRC. Luckily, my E2 passed that test, but I could not get the PRC to sync through the EXE. So I bypassed it.
    I hope this helps everyone.
    P.S. the file is WiFi Installer 1.2.prc

    My first app tab was my bank, I save as an "app tab" and it added it and it has the bank's logo reflected. I went to another site that I use frequently, clicked on Add as App Tab and it did but it only shows a "blank sheet". There is no picture reflecting the site, why no picture?
