IPhone 4: Unable to delete Safari Bookmarks from main screen

My iPhone4 (iOS 4.3.5) won't delete Safari Bookmarks from the main screen. When the bookmark is held down (it starts wriggling, and is able to be moved around), there is no "x" option. I am still able to delete apps. I'm not able to delete the bookmark off my iphone through iTunes either. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Unsure as to what causes the problem but this will definitely resolve it. No personal data will be lost it just resets settings as the name suggests. Of course you can just update/restore but this is an unneseccary step.

  • Deleting an icon from main screen

    How do I delete an icon from the home page screen on an iPad 2 ?

    Touch and hold any app icon on that page until all the icons start to wiggle. Then tap the X by the icon/app you want to delete. Press the Home button one to restore normal operation. You can't delete the native apps/folders that came with the iPad such as Maps or Gam Center.

  • Restoring safari bookmarks from time machine

    Somehow bookmarks in one of my Safari bookmark folders got deleted in the course of attempting to move the folder. When I go into time machine to restore an earlier version of my book marks time machine does not display the contents of the caches folder where I understand the Safari bookmarks are kept, i.e. ~/library/caches/metadata/safari/bookmarks..
    Is there a way to get time machine to display contents of the caches and metadata folders? If not, is there another way to restore an earlier version of my Safari bookmarks? I have separate backups on external drives in addition to the time machine backup.
    Thanks,

    About my Safari bookmarks that are currently residing only on my iMac, I would like to see the same Safari bookmarks on my iPhone as well. Can I sync them from the iMac to the iPhone? Thanks.

    Yes, but you will need to use iCloud ...

    Can anyone tell me if there's a way to place my safari bookmarks from my iMac to my iPhone and iPad?

    Activate iCloud on all the devices and select Safari in the settings. Your bookmarks will stored on Apple servers, so you should only do this if you don't mind sharing that information with Apple employees.

    I am unable to delete whole texts from left-swipe. i click delete and they dissappear. But then i can't send or recieve texts. i reboot phone and deleted message reappear, but i am able to continue send/recieving texts.. i've synced, backup, everything. Help! I am doing this beacuse in my space on my phone my doucments and data are taking up 9GB of space, and i don't know why other than in my phone it says messages are taking up 8GB or so. I am running ios 7.0. I have synced my phone with itunes, backed up, reboots after deleting the texts, they never vanish, i have even restored from itunes and restored from a backup that didn't include the texts after i deleted them.

    actually better to reset your phone and reinstall the latest firmware again after that restore your back up it should be ok

  • How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?

    How can i stay logged in on iPhone Skype after i delete the app from the 'current' apps?
    Thanks for ur answers !

    You are correct. There is no other way to recover this material, and yes it would have been a good idea to backup the iPhone prior to the restore. Remember that a restore to a previous date deletes everything on the device and puts it back to the state of things on the date you choose. The texts and contacts would be gone. Did you possibly sync the contacts with a supported application on the computer? That is the only other way to recover contacts. They are designed to be synced with a supported application on the computer, or with a cloud service such as iCloud, Google or Yahoo.

  • Unable to delete an email from a Gmail account in Mail

    I am unable to delete an email from my Gmail (IMAP) account within Mail on my MacBook. I get an error message that says there are no matches with the email. It does not show in Mail on my iMac or on my Gmail account online. I have rebuilt the mailbox, but don't know any other steps to try to fix this problem.
    Does anyone know how to delete this email?
    Thanks -

    Thanks for the suggestions. I did not find the message on my Gmail Internet account. I went into Mail Preferences, and used the Advanced tab under my Gmail account to uncheck "Enable this account". The account folders disappeared. When I restarted Mail and enabled Gmail again, the email was initially gone, but a few minutes later, reappeared. I don't know anything else left to do except delete the account and recreate it If you think of anything else, please let me know.
    Thanks -

  • How to sync Safari  bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air?

    How does one transfer, or sync Safari  bookmarks from snow leopard to a iPad Air without involving iCloud?

    Give Xmarks a try, they have an iOS app as well. It will not sync directly to Safari on the iPad, you open the links through the app.

  • Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?

    Why i keep seeing email on iphone, even after i deleted it directly from the server?
    This means it doesnt sync the server inbox, only keeps pushing new emails!
    How to force it to realy sync every time the server inbox, and just show me in the iphone inbox exactly what i see in the server inbox???

    I'm just fresh in iOS, but dont think its a POP/IMAP matter.
    Always used mobile push email apps on symbian and android with POP and never had this issue.
    My usual former scheme is:
    a) My main email client is Outlook at my laptop (POP). This one is the master email client and after download new emails deletes them at the server.
    b) My secondary is a mobile email client (also POP) - just to see whats going on and maybe reply here and there.
    Meaning, laptop does cut/paste and mobile does copy/paste
    So:
    a) If i download a new email first using my laptop, it will never be pushed latter from iphone (its not there anymore).
    b) If i download a new email first using my mobile app, and only then download it with laptop, it is still there available, and then gets deleted at the server.
    c) If i download a new email first using my mobile app and if i manualy delete it and then perform another sync, then this email is deleted at server, and will be no more available for download to laptop.
    Resuming:
    1- The laptop ask to server what's in the inbox, downloads it all and then order the server to kill them all.
    2- The iphone only ask whats new and downloads it all.
    3- The iphone SHOULD ask server what's new, AND ask server what was removed from server inbox since last sync, AND tell server wich emails were removed at iphone since last sync.
    As far i remember, at least one symbian app called Profimail does all this quite perfectly...
    Any ideas?
