I tried rebooting, still can't delete unwanted icons

Still can't delete unwanted apps or bookmarks.  Started yesterday when I updating iPad to PC.  Frustrating to all of a sudden have this issue

You do realize that you cannot delete the preinstalled apps?
If you have restrictions turned on - you may have disabled the deleting of apps as well. Settings>General>Restrictions>deleting apps>Off.
BTW ... You do realize that you don't have to start another discussion either - don't you?

    cannot send or receive yahoo mail or gmail from iPhone . installed ios 6 recently. tried rebooting the phone and deleting the email account and adding again but nothing works ! can someone suggest a solution?

    Not sure about yahoo, but for gmail, I done the following:
    Set up using Exchange on iPhone, it'll keep prompting for password.  On PC use captcha option, log in to gmail account from PC after completingg captcha option, enter password on iPhone.
    See how that goes for gmail, let us know.
    Hopefully someone will have fix for yahoo.

  • I can not delete unwanted message because I am not getting the delete button popup to activate deletion. Where did it go!?

    I can not delete unwanted emails because my delete prompt button is not appearing after I prompt edit and choose my email to edit. How do I make the prompt button to appear on edit page as before?    Thanks MRH

    Close out of the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    then check and see if you can delete emails.

  • I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone.  I tried do remove them from my MAC too, but still can't delete them.

    I downloaded music onto my iPhone 4S from from the iTunes Store that I previously purchased, and now I can't delete them from my phone.

    How are you trying to delete the music direct on your iPhone?
    You tried to remove the music from iTunes on your Mac how?
    Do you have Sync Music selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on your computer?

  • HT1526 still can't delete the files in my trash!

    Folder in trash:
    jojojo > 1 > 1;2;3;4
    All folders have no files in them. I literally tried everything but can't get rid of these 6 empty folders. There seem to be invisible ePub files in these folders. Here's a screen shot. I'm sure I followed the steps correctly.
    http://www.directupload.net/file/d/3604/ka69ecfv_png.htm
    Please help!

    none of these methods work. I tried:
    rash utilities for eradicating troublesome files
    You may want to download and install the freeware utility Trash It! or the shareware utility Cocktail. Using one of these utilities is often the fastest way to Trash recalcitrant files.
    Note: Be sure to employ a version of the utility that is compatible with the version of Mac OS X you are using.
    Force the Trash to empty using the Option key
    This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty. Perform the following steps in the order specified:
    Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
    Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
    Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
    Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.
    Empty and recreate an account's Trash
    The following procedure will "kill two birds with one stone." It will both:
    Empty the Trash of an affected account.
    Create a new ~/.Trash directory, with correct ownership and permissions, for that account.
    Perform the following steps in the order specified:
    1.
    If the affected account is protected by FileVault, log in to the affected account, then switch to and log in to your Admin account via Fast User Switching. Otherwise, log in to your Admin account.
    2.
    Open Terminal, located in the Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities folder.
    3.
    At the Terminal prompt, type one of the following commands:
    If the affected account is:
    Then type the Terminal command:
    Your Admin account:
    sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
    Another user account:
    sudo rm -ri /Users/user_name/.Trash where user_name is the short name of the affected account.
    Note that:
    There is a single space after each of the terms sudo, rm, and -ri in the command.
    Assure you have typed the command exactly as specified before proceeding: typographical errors in this command can have dire consequences, including erasing your hard drive!
    4.
    Press Return.
    5.
    Type your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
    6.
    Type y for yes in response to the subsequent prompts to delete each file in the trash and finally the affected .Trash folder itself.  The prompts are finished when the Terminal prompt returns.
    7.
    If the affected account is your Admin account, log out. If the affected account was another user account that is logged in via Fast User Switching, log out of that account.
    8.
    Log in to the affected account. It will now have a new, working, and empty Trash.
    Steps 1-6 remove all files in the affected account's Trash as well as deleting the hidden and invisible ~/.Trash directory for that account. The remaining steps result in recreating the affected account's Trash, with proper ownership and permissions.
    none of these steps worked. i also tried both utilities. trash it! doesnt work and says i have to wait and nothing happens and cocktail says it removed everything but these folders are still there! i really dont know what to do, looks like i will have to reinstall everything to get rid of the folders. it's unbelievable. any ideas? the methods REALLY dont work, im not some oncompetent guy.

  • How can I delete unwanted mail addresses from the auto fill list in e.mail

    When I go to type a mail adress on my ipad I get a drop down list of previous mail addresses including all the typo's and used once. There doesn't seem to be a way of deleting unwanted one's. Unless anyone knows better?
    Paul

    No, it can't be done. There have been many requests for this.
    All you can do is send feedback to Apple on it at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iPad.html

  • How can I delete unwanted/inaccurate email addresses from the iPhone cache?

    How can I delete old / unwanted / inaccurate email addresses from the "suggestions cache" that keep popping up the moment I type in the first letter in on a fresh email address box?
    This is driving me mad! The London Store Apple Genius can only suggest either deleting my email account and then recreating it or totally reseting the iPhone to the original factory settings and then resynching it to my MacBook Pro to get everything back into the iPhone. However, he's not sure that this cache is not stored on the MacBook Pro during synching somewhere so I may well end up where I started! Allan Sampson answered my last "Help" topic, so I'm hoping he can beat the Apple Store Genius again!
    Over to the Forum and Allan.

    Hi Kelvin and everyone with the same problem.
    This used to be me and the painful solution ( for PC users ) is:
    Buy a Mac!
    Everything "talks" to each other and it all interfaces fine with the business world.
    Once you've adjusted to the ( much better ) Mac "culture" it all becomes clear and the
    backup service and advice is second to none. Not only that, everything works!
    Hope this helps......

  • Can't delete Unwanted Email addresses, Auto-fill in saves them all !

    How do I delete Unwanted Email addresses?
    Auto-fill in saves them all !
    When I start a new email, every email address I've
    ever written to pops up (To:) This greatly increases my
    chances of sending a new email to the wrong person.
    .....there's got to be a way to delete just the addresses
    I don't want !....but where & how ?

    I am also looking for a way purge the email addy autofill of old contacts that no longer exist. Many a family and friends have since changed their E-mail addy's, I have deleted their old addy's from contacts, yet the iPhone autofill still manages to hang on to those in some stored cache that is NOT accessible to purge or delete! This is something I've struggled with regarding the iPhone since my first iPhone months after it originally released years ago, have since owned a few other iPhones as they progressed, currently an iPhone 4, on os 4.01, same issue persists. Have restored my phones, started from new during some restores, etc, those old defunct E-mail addy's still autofill!
    I sync with my iMac yet do not even have my mail client set up on the iMac, never have since we bought the iMAc, web based E-mail only, so this issue has nothing to do with mail client on the computer it syncs to.
    It would be nice if someone from Apple would reply with acknowledgment that they are indeed aware of this and hopefully it is on their to-do list.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Under Bookmarks, suddenly 30 listings for identical Bookmarks Bar folder and 30 for identical Favorites Bar folder. I still can't delete them.

    My desktop and laptop are synched. Both have Bookmarks Bar 30x, and Favorites Bar 30x, and can't delete. There was no file like the one suggested earlier, as a fix. Please advise as to my options, I have to scroll for miles before I can get to my Bookmark listings.

    You need to disconnect the computer from the Sync server before trying to repair the bookmarks.
    You can check for problems with the <b>places.sqlite</b> database file in the Firefox profile folder.

  • How to fix frozen shutter on touch 4g? have tried reboot / restore factory settings / delete apps etc...

    hello
    I have tried everything I can think of and still no joy!
    The camera on my ipod touch 4th gen is broken. The shutter won't open and I can't switch it from camera/video. The only button that responds is to view the camera roll.
    I have tried Settings / General / Reset  several times. I have also carried out a system restore via itunes twice and no luck..
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

    See this long-runinng discussion on the problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is probably in order.

  • Can't delete unwanted mail

    After a minor app-freeze problem I restarted and discovered that now I can't delete some messages from my email (Apple Mail version 3.6 (936)) inbox: instead of moving to the Trash folder, the email stays right there in the Inbox and the title turns from black type to grey. I'm reluctant to trash the Mail prefs because There doesn't seem to be any way to do that without losing the Inbox contents. Is this a virus? Any ideas?

    Hi!
    Is this a POP account or IMAP? If POP, open the Inbox of only one account (if you have more than one), click on Mailbox in the menubar and choose Rebuild. Wait patiently for Rebuild to finish, and be aware that for a short time all messages will seem to disappear.
    Once the index has been refreshed for this Inbox, you should be able to trash the messages.
    If IMAP, remove the account, and then add it back.
    If you have any questions, ask before doing any of this.

  • HT201272 Cannot download previously deleted app iphoto. Other deleted apps re install exactly as manual says. Also, how can I delete unwanted photos from "photos" app, which were brought in via Dropbox? Ipad Air wi fi running ios 7 (my first apple product

    New to Apple, having fun with ipad Air, but geting frustrated with its weird ways.
    Deleted the iphoto app to clear out photos (yes, really). Now cannot download it again. Other deleted apps download exactly as the manual says but not iphoto. Can anyone suggest how to fix please? Also, cannot delete test photos from"photos" app, brought in from Dropbox. Can anyone tell me how to do this please?
    All help gratefully received.

    You should be able to redownload it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad - if it's not showing there (you haven't changed countries since buying the app ?) then check to see if it's hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    For the photos, if they are in the Camera Roll album in the Photos app then you can either delete them via the trashcan icon in the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the Select button top right in thumbnail view.

  • I can't delete unwanted apps from my iPhone.

    When 'jiggling' apps on my iPhone no black crosses appear, thereby preventing me from deleting unwanted apps. Similarly on my Macbook Pro operating Mavericks the 'delete' button beside the listed apps is greyed out when coupled to my iPhone, preventing me from deleting apps using the Macbook.

    The apps that come with the iOS software, like Passbook or Gamecenter, will not let you delete them. If it didn't come on the phone, check restrictions like Stedman said.
