My iPhone 5 will not allow me to delete texts. Help?

I am trying to delete my texts and everytime I swipe to delete, the delete option button disappears before I can tap it.  Any help?

First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • My iphone 5S will not allow me to delete mail only select 1 by 1 to trash how can I mass delete old emails

    my iphone 5s will not let me delete emails, it will only allow me to select an email and move it to trash. the slide method ask more/trash, when selecting trash the message disappears but once you leave email and come back the message reloads. Also I cannot mass select multiple emails for delete. I can trash them only 1 at a time.

    I cannot select multiple mails any more to delete them on my ipad 2. I've only noticed it since upgrading to 7.04 but cannot be sure that the iOS upgrade is the cause of it.
    Same for both business and personal mailboxes.

  • New software iOS7 downloaded on my iphone 5 will not allow me to send text to groups

    How can I send text message to groups on my iPhone 5 with the newly downloaded iOS7 software.  So far it is not working. I've tried changing settings under the Messaging but nothing seems to work.

    Let it go.  That the most annoying thing you could ever think of doing to your "friends."

  • My iphone 4s will not allow me to open any apps that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    My iphone 4s will not allow me to open applcations that I have downloaded. I have tried a few things but still will not allow me to open. Shows they are open once pushing the home button twice. Please help!

    Pressing the Home button twice does not show you what apps are running. It shows you what apps were recently used.
    Download a free app from the App Store. Once it downloads, your other apps should work properly again.

  • Iphone 6Plus will not allow POP email account and cannot print to my wifi printers, I did on my Iphone 5 until I upgraded, can anyone help

    Iphone 6Plus will not allow POP email account and cannot print to my wifi printers, I did on my Iphone 5 until I upgraded, can anyone help

    I had talked with three people at Apple tech support on the phone, one person in the Apple store in Indianapolis, plus the other places I mentioned. Only the one young man in the Apple store was even able to identify the problem which was the POP vs. IMAP issue. And then like you said he was only able to say he hoped it would be fixed in the next update release. I did call him back this morning and told him about your simple solution, that I had seen it at the Apple forum, and that he might suggest bringing this topic up at the next staff meeting. I also let my Verizon rep know and an agent at Comcast. Something so simple yet it took three days and a lot of frustration to get fixed. Thanks again. You're my hero! ~ Carol Thomas
    Also forgot to mention ... I got the iPhone 6 Plus about three weeks ago and did not have this problem. But I did a backup of my iPhone 5S on the computer and then used that backup to restore to my new iPhone. The iPad I did differently and just set it up as a new iPad with no restoring from the old one. That must have made a difference on the phone because it was set up just like the 5S ... as a POP3.

  • Iphone 4 will not allow me to send or respond to one person only

    iphone 4 will not allow me to send or respond to one person only. Can receive texts from them but cannot respond error message 923-0. Saying invalid number of digits msg 2114

    This error looks like a carrier message. Does this person have an iOS device? It appears not, but this looks like an SMS error. I suggest that you contact your carrier to see if they can explain the error.

  • When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. How can I resolve this?

    Question
    When I am NOT private browsing Firefox will not allow me to delete or change the website address in the location bar. My only remedy is to open a new window and search in google then click the link to that site through google. When I swap to private browsing firefox allows me to anter the website address directly into the location bar - but this is a slow [prcess to swap back and forth - also by dint of using private browsing I loose my website information.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • HT5621 I changed my appleid online, but I cannot change the appleid on my iPhone, it will not allow me to edit it under settings?

    I changed my AppleId online and I cannot get the Id changed on my iPhone 4.  Settings will not allow me to edit the existing Id.  ???

    To change your iCloud ID, go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in with the new ID.  This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
    To avoid losing photo stream photos, save them to your camera roll (if not already there) before deleting the account.  To do this, open your my photo stream album, tap Edit, tap the photos, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll.
