Why Can't I Delete PDF's in iBooks 3.0.1?

I want to delete some PDFs on my new iPod Touch 5, but can't seem to. In iBooks, on my device, I select "Edit", then touch each of the PDFs I want to delete. There is then a checkmark on the icon of the PDFs and I select "Delete". A message pops up asking if I want to remove these copies and I select that option. But nothing happens.
I've tried deleting them in iTunes by unchecking each PDF, but again, nothing happens. I've also deleted them from iTunes>Library. These buggers are like cockroaches. You can't get rid of them!
What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried have you tried a reset.Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Hi joyceannlake1960,
    In the iPad User Guide there are a few good pages that may help get you acquainted with deleting mail messages:

  • Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll. I also can't send a picture to a friends phone. One last question.......why do pictures freeze up on the screen and I have to hit the power button to go back to home screen. Thanks for any help.

    Why can't I delete pictures off of camera roll?  I also can't send Pictures to someone else's phone. My picture seems to freeze up and I can't do anything, particularly delete the picture. I'm new to iPhone so I'm really just learning how this iphone thing works :)

    Did you recently start using iCloud to backup your photos?
    Wife had the same problem today.  Remembering that I had recently signed her up for more space on iCloud and started backing up her photos, I decided to roll the dice and turn that off.  Plug phone back into computer and *boom* I now have the option to delete.  Now I just have to figure out how I can do both = \

  • Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7?

    Why can't I delete a user name and password from saved passwords in iOS 7? I found them and they are not anything that I am familiar with? They are from a t-com.de. I have been to Germany in the last month. Not sure if there is any association. Any thoughts? 

    You found them ... where?  Are they in Safari somewhere?
    If so, do Settings > Safari > Clear History and Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies and Data
    If that doesn't clear them (and they are from Safari), try Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and clear that area.

  • Why can I not open PDF-files in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Well then, as I wrote in the headline... Why can I not open PDF-files?
    I get a notification that says that either the file is already open (which it's not) or it is missing a plug-in thingy for this kind of file.
    So, how do I know which plug-in thing I should chose from Adobe which will solve my problem?
    Could it be enough just to update the program? I tried with 6.0.6. upgrade but it wouldn't even open up. I'm not so good at this type of computerproblems (choosing upgrades, plug-in etc.). The program is not upgraded for a long time, unless it do it automatically, but I think we've chosen it not to....
    Please help!
    /S

  • Why can't I open pdf files allthough having adobe reader 9 preinstalled on my new windows 7 laptop?

    Hi!
    I think my question might be simple to answer, so please if you read this give it a try...
    I just bought a new laptop with windows 7 on it. Adobe Reader 9 was allready installed. I wanted to open simple pdf files, but I got the message "Adobe Reader ?" in an empty field that pops up.
    Why can't I open pdf files? Do I also need to install the Adobe Flash Player as well?
    I would be very glad if you could give me a hint.
    Thanx 

    It appears as if Adobe Reader is not correctly installed.  Try installing the latest version 9.2 from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ - make sure that you uncheck any unwanted software bundled with the download.
    P.S.  no, you don't need Flash Player to open PDF files.

  • Why can't I open pdf file?  Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't

    Why can't I open pdf file?  Get a black box with a white x in the upper left hand corner that won't open either

    I get the same thing... no matter what site i try to pull a pdf for IE10, it gives me the black x... if i use chrome it works, but my client does not want to use a different browser.
    I followed the guide that Pat posted... nothing worked... I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java, Adobe reader, Adobe flash,.. upgraded to IE11, then back to IE10 due to medical software that is not compatable with IE11...
    The kicker is that my Admin profile works just fine.. no issues.. so i know it has something to do with his profile....
    Please.. someone... help!!!

  • Why can't I open PDF files created in Adobe X using Adobe XI? How do I fix this?

    Why can't I open PDF files created using Adobe X in Adobe XI?

    I try and open them in Reader (double left click on the file) and all I get is a single screen with two overlapping frames neither of which have anything to do with the subject although the presentation title is at the top.  One of the frames had "Adobemail.com" on it. Our work computers were recently up-graded to Adobe XI and this was the first time I tried to open a presentation that has worked fine in the past.  I would have thought that Adobe XI would have been backward  compatible, but it doesn't seem so. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have an 08:00 First-Aid class tomorrow and need this presentation.  Apparently Adobe forums are off-line for up-grades.  Thanks

    why can I not convert pdf into word file?

    This is not a feature of Adobe Reader. You'll need either Acrobat or a subscription to one of the web-based services that Adobe offers (like PDF Pack) to do it.

  • Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library

    Why can I not delete a book from my iTunes library. There are many books that I want to delete and replace with current books, but cannot remove the old books.  Thanks  Guy

    Hey cjt101,
    Thanks for the question. Was this song purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, it may be that your device is configured to show all of your purchased music that has not yet been downloaded. The following resource may resolve your issue:
    iCloud and iTunes Match - iPhone
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphb8d9fd5a6
    View only music that’s downloaded. Go to Settings > iTunes & App Store. Under Show All, turn off Music.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Why can I not delete any emails on iPhone. 5?

    Why can I not delete any emails on my iphone5?

    Thx. That seems to have solved my problem. I don't know but just all of a sudden when I opened an emal there was no option at the bottom.  After doing as you suggested, now all the options are back. Quite confusing to me. I do appreciate your suggestion and fix.

  • Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install.

    Why can't I open PDFs anymore and Adobe Reader won't install? This happens only in Safari. I have tried changing my security preferences but it doesn't help.

    missyzz,
    which version of OS X is installed on your Mac, and which version of Adobe Reader do you have installed? Did you ensure that all of your browsers were not running when you’d installed Adobe Reader?
    To use Preview to open PDFs, download the PDFs to your Mac, and then use Preview to open the PDFs locally. Since you can open PDFs in Firefox, it sounds like you don’t need the Preview workaround.

  • Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    Why can't I open pdf's after install of adobe reader? Should I see it in system preferences?

    There are can be reasons PDFs cannot be opened. For example, some forms created with Lifecycle Designer cannot be opened.
    Are you sure the file is a PDF? Can you open it in Adobe Reader or Acrobat on a Mac or PC? Does it give an error message when you try to open it?
