My iPod will not delete apps when I hold down the app. Why?

DELETING APPS
Touch the app and hold your finger down until all the apps start to jiggle. You will see a circled "x" in the upper left corner. Tap it to delete an app. When done press the Home button.
You cannot delete any pre-installed iOS app.
If the app is in iTunes, then you delete the app in iTunes. If you then sync with your iPod the app will also be deleted from your iPod.

That sounds like a compatibility issue with an add-on that you have installed, as reported by a number of users in both Firefox 22 and Firefox 23 over the last couple of months. If you would provide a listing of your installed extensions ''(as you were prompted to do when creating this thread)'' maybe one of us can advise you which extension is the mot likely culprit. You will need to re-install Firefox 23 to do further diagnostic testing.
As far as the compatibility of Firefox 23 and Win XP SP3, Mozilla has verified they are compatible and not one user ''(including me on two separate PC's)'' has reported a problem with compatibility.

HT1688 I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

I am having issues get my email in one of my mail accounts so I tried to "DELETE" the whole account. But my phone will not delete a mail account. And the phone is getting really hot and battery was full 2 hours ago and now at 25%.

Well, you don't say what happens when you try to delete the account. So I don't know what else to recommend. However, if your phone is not charging, is that the mains charger or the computer USB? Also, if it not showing any change to battery percentage, then something is wrong with the software. The next step in user troubleshooting after the reset is a restore from backup. However, considering the condition of the phone right now, I would be more than willing to say your backup is going to be corrupt. But you can try. If that does not fix the device, then you restore as new, not from a backup. If the phone works, then you can try restoring the backup again, but if it messes up, you are going to have to restore as new again. If the restore as new does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar or Authorized Apple Service Provider to get the hardware checked.

IPod will not shut off, or perform any of the 5 R's

Query by serial number
Apple's warrenty database will identify the type of Mac you have. Your serial number is securely sent, but you get only the name of your machine.
https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
This site provides more information, but lacks security.
"A serial number is a unique, identifying number or group of numbers and letters assigned to an individual piece of hardware or software. It's used for various things depending on the product / brand but what is your Mac's serial number for and more importantly... what is it hiding and what can it do for you ?"

Close inactive apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Hey, My mac book is giving me a flashing question mark on start up. When I hold down the command key to get to system preferences in order to help it find the system software it asks me for a firmware password, that I did not set! I also do not have the start up DVD/disk anymore. Any ideas on how to bypass this?

So my daughter's ipad2 wont start up or its starting up and we just cant see it??? when i hold down the home button and the power button the apple icon comes on then goes away,the only way to see the screen is when you takescreenshot?????any answers????

so my daughter's ipad2 wont start up i think its on but you cant see anything unless you take a screenshot then you can see for a split second then nothing,and when i hold down the home button and the power button it will reset then i can see apple icon for a second then nothing?????

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

My iPod has a white screen. After holding down the middle and the menu button it goes black, then back white, and then beeps twice but stays white. It never shows the apple logo, just stays white - help!

My iPod has a white screen. After holding down the middle and menu button, the screen goes black then back to white and beeps twice. I have returned to original settings and resorted content to no avail. I still have a white screen. I have plugged it up and tried resetting again and again, still a white screen with two beeps - help.

I have the same exact issue. Fifth generation iPod Nano, blank screen, Restore had no effect. I'm running Windows 7 Home, with all software up-to-date. I suspect hardware damage. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Latest generation 160 gb ipod will not play music when play button is pressed

latest generation 160 gb ipod classic will not play songs when play is pressed.Everything else forms and functions are ok

Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug.
A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.
