HT4623 Updated iPad and not can't delete old icons after use
Since I updated the software I can no longer delete the old icon after when I finish using them
Sure, but its the best you learn how to use the terminal. OS X is Unix and the most advanced tasks can't be done in the graphical enviroment:
1. Open Terminal (You should startet in your "home" directory, this is the default)
2. Type: mdls /Applications/iTunes.app (This will output a lot of information)
3. Look for the last keyword "kMDItemVersion", it should show the program version (e.g. "10.7")
4. From now on what to do depends on the position of the iTunes version you want to delete. If this is the most recent version you will leave this file alone. If this is an older version of iTunes you will want to delete it. So there is a decision to make.
4a. Leave this file
or
4b. Delete this file with: rm -r /Applications/iTunes.app (maybe the permissions don't allow this to do, I could not test it)
5. After that you could use the finder to move your regular iTunes version to your desired position
6. If you most recent version is in an other directory, e.g. /Applications/Music/iTunes.app, you have to do the steps above with this path
It makes sense to locate first the iTunes version you want to delete. You can get this information with the showed mdls command or with the information dialog of Finder. Click in Finder the particular iTunes icon once, so it is selected, show the information dialog (cmd+i).

Do you get an error message when you try to uninstall iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

My old iCloud ID still exists on my iPad and I can't delete it.
I deleted my old email which was also my apple ID. In ¨manage Apple ID¨ at apple.com I changed my primary email, but on my ipad the old apple ID remains even though the email is gone. When trying to sign in with the old apple ID it says it has been deactivated.
How to change in iCloud/iPad settings from the old appleID for the new one?
I can't delete the old iCloud account from the iPad because the password is not accepted for signing out of ¨find my iphone¨.
How do I delete my old Apple ID in iCloud from my iPad and replace it with my new one?I found the answer... to disable "Find my iPad" first before trying to delete the iCloud account, and the password was accepted. When I tried deleting the iCloud account before disabling "Find my iPad", the password wasn´t accepted.

Can I delete old folders after updates?
Can't believe it makes one iota of difference but am using WIN7.
Is there any reason not to delete old folders in Lightroom and PS when I upgrade or install later versions.
Example: I have 5 folders of updates (plus 4.2) in my Adobe folder for Lightroom starting with 3.4 up thru 4.1.
Can I just delete everything except 4.2?
I have PS CS6. Can I delete the CS5 folder?
Thanks.Most folks leave older versions on their systems to avoid potential issues arising from uninstalling an older version after installing a new.
Those who DO want to clean up uninstall the older software. Are you saying you've done that but folders are still left behind? In that case you'd be safe to remove anything explicitly identified as a version you've uninstalled.

I'm using an iPad 4 with Reflector Software on my laptop to Airplay through a projector at work. I can't see the Airplay icon on my iPad. I've worked through all of the troubleshooting information on the Apple Support website and still can't get it to work. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Can't delete old iTunes after Mountain Lion install
I updated my Macbook Pro (late 2008 version) to Mountain Lion and everything was working great until I tried to open iTunes from the Dock and got a message about it being unable to open, investigated the Applications folder and discovered that I now have two versions of iTunes, 10.6.3 and 10.7. 10.6.3 is in the applications folder but 10.7 is in a sub-folder within Applications. In the past I've organized apps in folders according to subject - home office, internet, graphics, games, etc., and have had no problem deleting old versions of Apple apps after system updates by either dragging them to the trash or dragging the updated version into the applicable folder and using the "replace" function. Now I cannot move either the new or old version of iTunes to trash or between folders. I'm getting a message "iTunes cannot be modified or deleted because it's required by OS X".. I've searched these forums and googled the question, and the only solutions I've found have addressed Windows PCs.
From checking the "Get info" panel I can tell that the 10.6.3 version was installed prior to installing Mountain Lion, and 10.7 appears to have been installed either with Mountain Lion itself or in a system update shortly thereafter. I tried unlocking 10.6.3 in the Get Info panel, but that didn't allow me to move 10.6.3 to the trash.

Can't delete old files from used TC
I bought a 500GB time capsule on ebay. No problem with the wireless, but I can't do a back up because it looks like the files from the old user are still on there.

Launch AirPort Utility, double-click on your Time Capsule to enter "Manual Setup" mode, select the "Disks" icon in the toolbar, select "Time Capsule Disk" (or whatever yours is called) on the left, then click the "Erase" button. -
Have recently had update and now can't delete songs or podcasts?
I recently downloaded the latest update from iTunes and since then have not been able to delete unwanted tracks or podcasts. I don't think I've changed any settings.
I have the same problem with the update (via Software Update). I am running OS 10.6.8 on a Mac Air and when I updated iTunes to 10.4, the Delete function in the menu is greyed out and I can't delete podcasts or music using the menus. I can, however, drag the podcast to the trash. Does anyone have the same problem or better yet a solution?

Robin is right. U forgot to implement an exception step, for example for an tranformation and the process can't stop itself. The result is very funny: U can do what u want, nothing will change ur fault until u become black or kill the workitem in TA SWWL.
Robin has much more knowledge about BPM than about Java Proxies and is very helpful bcoz he is a bit lonly now

I forgot my restriction password and I can't delete any app. I can't download anything either, I've filled up all the space in my iPad, and I need to update my iPad in order to restore it. But my iPad needs space in order to update to a newer vers. of ios.. I've also tried to restore to the previous backup, but it yet doesn't work. Please help :c!
I told you, I can't restore iOS. In order to restore my iPad, I need to update it to iOS 7.0.4, but my iPad needs available space to update, but I don't have any. I can't delete anything at all, so yeah.. are there any possible ways to restore my ipad without updating? If not, please state other ways to solve this problem.

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.
