No 'x' shows up when trying to delete apps.

I'm trying to delete apps to clear up space. I have several that I no longer use. However when I hold down the app and they begin to wiggle no x's are appearing. I dint want to reset my iPad because I don't want to lose game status on the apps that I do use. How else can I get rid if these apps?

Here's a picture tutorial for anyone who needs visual reference: http://ipadnerds.com/remove-app-from-homescreen/

I have iPad 2 with 8.1.1. When trying to delete apps, the crosses appear, the icons 'jiggle' but won't delete, then neither the home button or the power button will work, and I have to leave it for 10-15 minutes until it returns to 'normal'. This has happened the last four times i tried to delete an app.

Hi OldPete71$$$... You are not alone. I am taking my iPad3 to the Apple store later today - I had to wait to get an appointment - for this very problem. This error did not occur until I updated to 8.1.1. I have not tried letting the device sit, I have been doing a hard reboot to recover functionality. If it's any consolation, I *can* delete apps through the iTunes interface, it's just very sloooooow. I can't delete internet shortcuts that I've stored on the home screen this way, though.

These apps you wish to delete aren't ones that came included with the iPad, are they? Those cannot be deleted. If these are apps you installed, try restarting your iPad:

and see if it will then let you delete those apps.

Screen flashes on and off when trying to delete app

I Was trying to delete an app. When i pressed the x in the corner the app and several apps next to it began to flash on and off. The only way i could stop it was to completely shut down the ipad and restart?

DId you try deleting it again once the iPad restarted?
Try a soft reset first, holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons until the Apple logo appears, then let go & let the iPad boot up normally.
Try deleting the app again. If that doesn't work open Settings->General->Usage. Under Storage select Manage Storage. Scroll down the list until you find the app you want to delete. Tap it & select delete.
If neither of those work try Resetting All Settings
General->Reset->Reset All Settings.
If you are still unable to delete the app or if the iPad continues to shut down while trying to do so, then I would try doing a restore using iTunes:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

I no longer get the dialog box when trying to delete rejected photos.

I have always used the Delete Rejected Photos. . . selection to get rid of the photos I have flagged as rejected. However, after the rejected photos are shown, the dialog box no longer appears with the option to Delete from Disc or to Remove from the LR Catalog. I don't know if this problem began with LR 3.4 or before, but the timing was close. It isn't that I don't know how to use the function because I have been using it for years. Any help would be appreciated.

Since I had 358 photos out of almost 2800 flagged as 'rejected' I did not
want to loose all my work. I selected the rejected photos and then flagged
them all with a 'yellow' color. I then displayed all photos with a yellow
flag and 'Un-rejected' them. I highlighted a small amount of them, about 30,
and rejected them and then went to the Delete Rejected photos. the pop-up
came up and I was able to delete them. Since the rest of my yellow flagged
photos were still showing I rejected another chunk of them and so on till
they were all deleted. When trying to delete a group that had published
photos within I got a box warning me that if I deleted them the published
ones could no longer be managed by LR. That is alright with me. It would be
nice if the software would somehow flag those that had been published. All
the dialog box said was that one or more of the group had been published. I
did not know which.
Thanks again for expert help!

Error message when trying to delete pdf in 10.1

With 10.0.03 everything in Acrobat worked fine. In 10.1 I get an error when trying to delete pdf files I've recently worked on. The message says:
"Are you sure you want to move this file to the Recycle Bin? Then "file name".pdf, Type: Adobe Acrobat Document, Size: 153 KB, Date modified: 6/18/2011 3:28 PM.
Other times the message is:
"The action can not be completed because the file is open in Acrobat.exe. Choose file again. Then "file name".pdf, Type: Adobe Acrobat Document, Size: 153 KB, Date modified: 6/18/2011 3:28 PM. Try Again"
This happens everytime I try to either delete the file using a menu to delete or drag the file to the Recycle Bin by hand.
Only way to get out of the loop is to log out then log in. This only started happening after updating to 10.1.
Anyone else see this problem and know how to fix it?

Just a suggestion but I have found on WIn 7 that showing a pdf in the
Preview view can make win think the file is open and locked for editing. The
little icon on the taskbar makes it easier to turn the preview on and off. I
always check my open explorer windows now when I get messages like that and
it usually clears it up. Hope it works foryou.

Getting No checksum error when trying to delete uploaded file

When trying to delete an uploaded file I get the following error :-
No checksum was provided to show processing for a page that requires a checksum when one or more request, clear cache, or argument values are passed as parameters.
I have a tabular report displaying the uploaded files with one of the columns showing a delete icon.
When you select the delete icon it has Column Link details of the following
Link Text : <img src="#APP_IMAGES#del.gif">
Link Attribute : &APP_ID.
Target: URL
Url:
javascript:confirmFileDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'f?p=&APP_ID.:11:&SESSION.:REMOVE_ID:&DEBUG.::P11_DELETE_ID:#FILE_ID#');
The above was working till I turned on the Session State Protection.
I believe I need to add a checksum to my url via the pl/sql package apex_util.prepare_url but can someone please show me how to do from my URL????
Thanks in advance
Keith

Keith,
Why not do the following then...
I think confirmDeleteFile is a custom function correct? As the second parameter, just pass in the file ID. Then in the function use JavaScript to set the value of P11_DELETE_ID to the file ID. Then call doSubmit('REMOVE_ID');

Finally got through to tech support and found someone who seemed to know what was going on, he walked me through and using appleid.applesupport got me to a point where i could get a new password for the apple id that kept showing up.
I think you were on the right trail and I want to say thanks for your help. Much appreciated

When trying to update apps it asks for account password but it doesn't show my account ID, it shows my dad's. How can I fix this so I can sign in?

It sounds like the apps were purchased using your dads account, so they will have to be updated using that account.

After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

I photo crahses when trying to delete a large batch of photos

I exported my photo library twice by mistake and now I need to delete around 90.000 photos. The problem is, iPhoto crashes when trying to delete the photographs, and I'd really like to avoid moving them over and delete them in smaller batches, it would take me ages.
Is there anyway I can manually access the files in the iPhoto trash and delete them in the Mac trash?
Thnaks for the help.

I exported my photo library twice by mistake
sorry but this is not clear - exporting copies photos form the iPhoto library to your hard drive outside of the iPhoto library and does not change the contents of the iPhoto librar in any way
If you mean imported (as opposed to exported) were you importing a previous iPhoto library into a new iPhoto library? If so you never do that - it does not work and creates massive duplication
Since we have no idea what you have done these are just guesses but if you did import an old library into a new one then simply quit iPhoto and drag the new (bad) one to the desktop, drag the old one to the pictures folder (default location) and launch iPhoto - it will open and convert as needed the old library and you are good to go
If none of these guesses are correct then you will have to open the iPhoto trash in iPhoto (NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder - there are NO user servicable parts in there), select them all and assign a keyword (like trash) and then right click and return to library - then using the keyword to find them delete in small batches (100 or so) emptying the iPhoto trash after each small batch

What can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips he operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil

what can be done to avoid getting the following error when trying to delete unused clips in Imovie 09 "the operation could not be completed. *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil" I use to get these type of error messages when trying to delete unsused clips from a large event 60 minutes or longer, but now I get this message when trying to reduce a 4 minute event.
Also, does anyone know if there is a limit to the total amount of space that can be taken up by Projects in Imovie 09
Thanks for any help

Zachy,
It goes something like this...
Put your new drive in the enclosure. Use Disk Utility to format it, etc. I'd give it a slightly different name than the original. Let's say you have Old Disk and New Disk as your drive names. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Old Disk to New Disk. Now you should have an exact copy, which you can test by rebooting and holding down the Option key. Choose New Disk from the list and let it boot, make sure all is well.
Shut down and physically swap the drives. Take Old Disk and put it in the enclosure. Now your system has a new disk with a lot more space and you can reformat your old disk and just use it for large files or whatever.

Error when trying to delete a vendor from SC

Hi all,
I am encountering a problem when trying to delete a vendor from a contract and assign preferred vendor.
The messages are
"Enter exactly one partner of type preferred vendor"
"Partner data couldnot be determined".
In BBP_PD, I find two entries in partner table with partner_fct = 39.
I am also not able to delete one of this entry.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Nandalal

Hi Nandlal,
Can you see the business partner nos correctly for the vendors you are trying to assign?
Are these vendors assigned to pur org?
DO you get all greens in BBP_BP_OM_INTEGRATE?
