When I press to shake icons, none are showing minus or x to delete, they all stay put - how do I get the shake icon to show minus so I can delete some icons off front iPad screen?

I know certain ones will not be removed, it many icons on my desktop are from old saved ones I've put there, and seems iPad incapable of removing any now has anyone else got this problem? Should I take back to apple store

Sounds like you are in Full screen mode. Run your cursor to the top of the page and click on the blue arrows on the right hand side.

HT3697 I am trying to convert a Keynote Presentation to a cross platform PDF file. When using export it creates a 30mb file when it only need to be 2-3mb and so cant email or use it very easily. How do I get the file size down?

I'm trying export a Keynote presentation to PDF, or other format, to use on Windows PC, iPad and other devices.
The file Keynote create is way too large at 30mb+. So cant email or share it very easily
If I print it and to Adobe PDF I can get it to 3mb, but have to crop it manually, and some settings or graphics are not so good or accdeptable!
Does anyone know how to do this?

Use Dropbox to send large files that cant be sent using email:

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, put it into iTunes Library and convert it to an .mp3. How do I get the voice memos from my phone? I can't seem to move them out of the Devices folder, no matter how much I try to copy and paste or drag and drop

I want to take a voice memo off my iPhone, turn it into and .mp3, and email it. My iPhone shows up under "Devices" in my iTunes but doesn't allow me to move the voice memo files I see sitting there into my Library no matter how much copying and pasting or dragging and dropping I try to do.
Also, I need to convert the file to an .mp3.
How come no voice memo files show up when I go into my iPhone via My Computer? All it shows are the videos and pictures in the DCIM folder, but not the voice memos. Is there another way to access the voice memos other than through iTunes?

Email it to yourself, then save the file and then see if you can convert it to MP3.

When I sync'd my new iPhone5 with my Macbook Pro, I lost a lot of functionality. How do I get the full capability I saw on the new iPhone 5 before I put my old iPhone4 stuff on it?

Brought my new iPhone 5 home but it was not compatible with iTunes. ITunes update said it was up to date. Realized I needed to upgrade OS system to Snow Leapord. Did this, then updated iTunes, and I was able to put my back up (from iPhone4) on my new iPhone 5. As soon as I did this, I noticed numerous functions missing that were present before I sync'd it. (LIke an ability to install short cuts when texting and allowing certain numbers to call in when I have DO NOT DISTURB selected). How can I regain the full functionality of my new iPhone 5? It only has what my iPhone 4 had on it.

Okay, that is the latest iOS. As far as shortcuts are concerned, they should be available. Go to Settings, General, Keyboard, Shortcuts. You should find the settings and area to enter new ones there. The area to set what numbers to receive calls from in DND mode are in Settings, Notifications, Do Not Disturb, and then then Allow Calls From.
Does this help?

I just noticed that some of the movies I had in iTunes did not get transferred to the iPhone. The missing movies are shown as generic movie icons in the iTunes panel. How do I get the original movies to show up again and transfer to the iPhone?

1. iTunes won't offer cloud downloads for songs that it "thinks" are in your library, even if it "knows" the files are missing. If you've exhaustively searched for the missing files and there is no prospect of repair by restoring to them to their original locations, or connecting to new ones, then delete that tracks that display both the missing exclamation mark and are of media kind Purchased/Protected AAC audio file. Don't hide from iTunes in the cloud when asked, close iTunes, then reopen. You can download from the cloud links or iTunes Store > Quicklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer > All songs > Download all.
2. Why? Not sure, perhaps 3rd party tools or accidental key presses combined with previously hidden warning messages when trying to organize the library. There is a hint that using the feature to downsample media as it is synced to a device may also be involved, though I've not replicated it. Whatever the reason a backup would protect your media.

Why i cannot delate my photos when i press select? Icon for delete is not appear.

Did you use iTunes to sync those photos onto your device? If so then the only way to get them off is to use iTunes to sync them off.
When you sync them on you choose a folder and say 'put all the photos in here on my iPad', so to take them off you need to deselect that folder or remove photos from that folder and sync to take them off.

The app icons I have on the iPad have just come up blank with the app name under it. How do I get the colorful icons to appear? The apps do work though

The Ipad icons are all just a grey box. How do I get the colorful icons?

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. 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 iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.

TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
2. Click "Download in the app store"
3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

Try rebooting your iPad and see if they reappear.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If they still do not show up, make sure hat you don't have content restrictions set that could prevent certain apps from showing up on your iPad. Settings>General>RestrictionsAllowed Content.
if you still don't see them, connect your iPad to iTunes on your computer and you should see them in the iPad mini screens on the right side of iTunes after the iPad has been selected under "devices" and when you are in the apps pane of iTunes.
