IPhone webclips can't be deleted? [HELP]
I have a bit of an annoying problem. I upgraded my original phone to the 2.0 software and started getting rid of webclips I don't need anymore. Unfortunately, a few of the clips wouldn't go away. They disappear when you touch the "X", but reappear anytime I download something from the App Store.
The especially troublesome part is that I upgraded to a 3G, and now I have two phones with the same set of persistent icons.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
John
It happens whenever there is an application added or removed from the phone - either through iTunes or through the App Store on the phone. The 2.0.1 update didn't seem to change the behavior.

How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?
How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?
What pics?
This is very vague.
If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync. -
If I delete email on my iPhone 4S can it also delete the email on my iPad2?
If I delete email on my iPhone4S can it also delete the email on my iPad2 through iCloud sync?
If you are using an IMAP mail account like iCloud, then all your devices will be synced, so deleting a mail on one device will delete it from all.

I haven't backed up iPhone 4s, can I recover deleted contact ?
Hi, the other day for some reason I lost all my contacts on my IPhone 4S.
I have search everywhere I can think of to find a way to recover them but nothing worked.
So can anyone please tell me how I can recover my contacts?
I can’t use iTunes because I don't have the backup.
I even downloaded software that said it could recover my contacts without using iTunes but that didn't work either.
So if there is anyone out there that can tell me how I can recover deleted contacts from iPhone 4S, please tell me. ThanksIf you plug your phone into your computer you can sync and backup so that when you get the new phone you can restore from a backup instead of setting it up as a new iphone

Ah...there's your answer. You're gonna have to delete the profile first before you can delete the account. -
My Itunes is no longer allowing me to manage my music on my phone i can no longer select on my iphone to make playlists and delete music. Please help fix my problem. Iphone4s, 32gigs, IOS 7.1.2
I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

Hi,
I have accidently deleted safari from my iphone and can't find it to put it back. I did it ages ago as I didn't know what it was and I was trying to create extra space! Now when I click on a link say in an email, it doesn't come up with a browser. I have looked at the apple site but can only see a download for mac users. Not sure if this is the case because it is preinstalled on the iphone.
Help needed please!

Reset your Home screen to the default layout:

Never once has my phone updated without deleting everything. It says "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. I can't call for help because my phone is frozen on the screen with iTunes. On line live chat won't chat until I give them my serial number which I can't get to because its frozen and can't call for the same reason!! Omg! Someone please help me!?
Morning AppleHlumamkhululi,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
In most cases, the connected iPod needs to be restored.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

I am unable to delete an old email address and update new Apple ID and emaill on my iPhone. Can anyone please help me please?
If the old ID ("email address") is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!
How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!
I have tried many online programs but nothing seems to recover the last 60 photos i accidentally deleted.i have i cloud but because my phone memory had been so full lately i believe it wasnt being backed up?
the last back up noted on my phone is 9 nov 2013 - i deleted the photos just on monday - does this mean i can still recover them somehow?
they were never imported to a comp but yes the pics were saved on my photo stream buti acutally first deleted off photo stream. what i did was create a folder within my albums then added the 60 photos to the album, then deleted 1 off photo stream to test and it didnt delete from my new folder, then deleted all off photo stream and then i thought i could delete off camera roll, then did that and realised it also deleted off my new folder created - so was left with nothing!
if you know anyway pls help? -
just got an iphone 4 from my dad and its his old iphone and i was gonna delete his account so i can put my account on the iphone but he does not remember the password so I couldnt delete it. I need help deleting it without a password.
If the iPad has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device or to turn off Find My iPhone - then you will need that information. There's no way around it If your father can't remember the password, he'll need to recover it.
http://iforgot.apple.com
If he can't do it via that page, then he'll have to call Apple Support and ask to speak with Account Security.
If that's not the "password" you meant, please post back and clarify.

IPhone draining - can I get help?
My original question was deleted - I do not know why ... maybe I did use to much uppercase letters in the headline ? Here it is again:
I know there are a lot of discussions around. But to be honest: I really do not want to read them. I remember some sentence of Steve Jobs: "It is just working" - and that is what I am expecting of my iPhone ....
I own an iPhone 4S. It is now about a 1.5 years old and what I learned from apple is that most of your hardware just simply works over the time (my iMac is now 6 years old, a little bit slow, BUT: "It still works"!!). I just updated to iOS6 and ... Unfortunately I have to say: My iPhone does NOT work (as expected!) !!!
I do not do very much with the phone: I read some emails (Push is on), I read some tweets (but the app is basically of), sometimes Facebook, but this is normally also of. Not much phone calls (<=5 a day). What I really do is playing songs from it for 0.5h in the train .. nothing much more. Ok, the basic featurs are turned on: WLAN (but there is no one around me), Bluetooth (again, nothing around me - but when I step into my car I want my iPhone to connect to the Cars telephon - I do not want to turn on BT explicitely), iCloud Support: Yes please! It turned it on, but I do not take any photos during the day, so there is not much of sychronizing .... And by the way: I do not play any games, esp. not any graphic near ones ...
So what do I expect? Well, it should work the whole day....
What does is do? It is DRAINING battery energy: I do not do anything but after one hour is lost5% of energy for nothing. When I step back into the train after a working day of 8 hours and with nothing done extraordenary I only have 20-15% of the battery... and it continues draining!!!!
It is even worse: Sometimes my provider sends me an SMS telling me that I use more than the expected maximum of data in my "flatrate" and now my access is cut. But why and what application did require this ammount of data access they cannot tell me - they are ven not allowed to do by law (they would have to scan my intenet usage ..)
I know there are much questions like this arround and there are even more answers to this ... and some of them might help me...
But do be honest: I do not want to read them nor do I want to try to fix this on my iPhone myself (this remembers me too much to the old Windows days ....).
I only can repeat myself: What I expect is: It should simply work....
As I am also working in the IT I know this is a difficult expectation - there are so many iPhone installations around and you cannot try to help everybody with its special problem....
===>> BUT:
Whould it be so difficult to develop a tool that tells me which process keeps on running and how much of the telephones ressources it uses?
I could think about I nice warning message (popup window) saying: "Your FB app keeps up running for 2 hours and used 20% of your battery. Would you like to cancel the app?" ... THIS is something I would really expect from my iPhone (if it cannot control the resource usage in the background itself).
I just heard from a friend that he stopped using his iPhone because the battery is draining.... Why can't you deal with these issues or provide proper help??
Ok, now I finish with the problems ... Have a nice Xmas in the US!!!
ChristophEh... Nope... You don't get it. He is not talking about "enhancing performance". He is talking about making this thing WORK!
Alcazzar: I'm with You on this. I have the same thing. My iPhone 4S is 1.5 years old. I'm the second owner. The first guy sold it to me saying he doesn't like the battery life. So I'm like - no problem, I'm a battery saver so no biggie for me. I don't keep data channels on so it will last a few days before recharging with me... It didn't...
I don't know if it is because of the 6.0.1, but I have tried almost everything so probably yeah. This phone is so full of EPIC FAIL right now that I'm losing my last nerves here. So here is the situation:
- WiFi - OFF
- BT - OFF
- Local. - OFF
- 3G - OFF
- Push - OFF
- Siri - OFF
- iCloud - OFF
- every other blasted function and application in the background - OFF
...and the phone eats away 4-5% of the battery per hour on stand-by. *double facepalm*
It lasts only a day and needs to be put on charge each and every night. If I'm using it NORMALLY (that is having 3G on, WiFi on, checking mail, facebook, playing some games) I have a feeling of a death clock in the upper right corner - it goes constantly 90... 89... 88... 87... in matter of minutes. THIS IS IDIOTIC! This is my work phone. For my private phone I have a Galaxy SIII (yeah, I like smartphones) and you want to know how much battery he eats? 10% per day on standby!!! That is how I expect it to work! I don't mind losing power when the phone is actually doing something. But 5% on STAND-BY with screen off?!?!?!
I have tried almost everything - hard resets, DFU restore, normal restore, settings reset, shutting down notifications. Seriously everything I could find on anykind of forum. And I'm done... Just done... I'm breaking this thing open and replacing the battery next week, but I doubt it will help since people keep saying this is a 6.0.1 issue. I hope Apple does something with this because this is a joke. This is not Android and simple users can't really get inside this thing and see diagnostics. They can't really get help from other users who can only point them towards Apple manuals (yeah, thanks... like we didn't try that already...) or give there own tech-voodoo advice on how to solve this problem, because noone really can get deeper into this thing.
This is depressing. Apple do something about this, please. -
My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos? Or will the next time I back up lose all those previously backed up as it is a 'new' set of data?
I just want to find the easiest and safest way of not losing all my photos while being able to take more than my iPhones storage worth as it is already full - can someone help me please? I thought icloud was the solution to not uploading my photos to the mac but I'm not sure if the way it's going is working and don't want to delete photos or lose my phone and then find out what I'm doing isn't actually storing my photos permanently. ThanksHey EmilyEliza,
As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -

I just got a new iPhone 5. The sales person helped me transfer some photos from my MacBook Pro to the iPhone. Now, I can't get iPhoto to move photos from Photostream to events. Help!
Make sure you have iPhoto's Photo Stream preferences set as follows:
What happens when you drag photos from the Photo Stream window in iPhoto onto the Events icon in the left hand pane? That should import the photos into the library.
If it doesn't thenTry the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto, reset its various preferences and try again.
NOTE 1: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
