Why can't i delete some apps?
I just upgraded to iOS7 (hate the new look BTW) and now I have Facetime as an app. I don't want it 'cause frankly I have no use for it, but apparently I can't delete it, just like the Games app. Is there some way to delete standard apps that apparently come with the OS?
Shado
The Apps included with the iOS can not be deleted. Your best bet may be to move the unused Apps to a common folder, call it "Unused" and move it to the last screen.

Why can't I delete some of my emails
Why can't I delete some of my emails?
If it only happens with selected emails and not all of them, I don't think this is the problem, but you can check this to be sure.
Go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Your email account>tap the blue arrow next to the email address under Account>Advanced>Deleted Mailbox>On my iPad>Trash. I have an IMAP account and it is set to On the Server>Trash. -

Why can't I see some app in mac app store which i see in iPad app store
Some app (eg. youtube downloader) , I can see this app when i go to app store using my iPAD but when I go on using MacBook Pro store does not show it..
I access the same store using both devices... Why????They are not the same stores. The App Store for iOS devices is the iTunes App Store with apps developed for the iOS , the operating system for iOS devices. The Mac App Store is the store with apps developed to run on Mac computers, which use the OS X operating system. The apps for the Mac do not run on iOS devices and the apps for iOS devices do not run on Macs.
Some developers have created versions of their apps for each of the two operating systems, but certainly not all developers. SO if the developer has not created an app for both systems you are out of luck. -

Why can't I delete some podcasts on iTunes 11.1?
I have OS X 10.6.8. I upgraded from iTunes 11.0.5 to 11.1, and now I cannot delete some of my podcasts, even if I unsubscribe to them first. In some cases, I can delete a podcast, but it returns immediately, with that new cloud icon beside it. Does anyone know how I can delete these darned things?
Thanks,
SheilaI have this issue as well in itunes 11.01. Can't right click, get a menu and delete a movie/video. Can't highlight and hit delete key. Have actually gone into iTunes location on Windows 7 and completely deleted all videos from both the music and tv shows folders from my computer. Then, deleted them from my recycle bin so they no longer exist on my computer. Same goes for books.
They still show up in iTunes, and still sync to iPad... -
Why can't I delete some cache items in Safari preferences?
Safari>Preferences>Privacy>Details: Several cache items return right after they are deleted. I then went to Safari>Preferences>Advanced>placed check in box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar". But that menu does not show up in menu bar. If I close out and relaunch Safari, the unwanted cache items are gone from the Privacy Details. Even though the Develop menu never appeared, if I then go back to Advanced and uncheck the Develop menu box, those same "deleted" cache items return to the Privacy Details list. What if I don't want to delete some, but not all, the cache items? Why isn't the Develop menu appearing in the Safari menu bar? Is deleting cache items an all-or-none choice?
You're not the only one experiencing such problems.
Just installed Lion - and in Safari the ability to block cookies does not work at all, either in selecting 'from third parties and advertisers' or 'always'. Likewise, in selecting to 'remove all website data' such information repopulates within a couple of seconds.
I am not at all at happy with this situation. If anyone has a solution, do share. -
Help please
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and see if you restricted the deleting of apps.
Preinstalled apps cannot be deleted. -
Why can't I delete some files on iDisk?
I need to delete some sync data on the iDisk (MobileMe syncing is corrupted). But for many files I get the message: "you don't have sufficient privileges for some of the items".
And mind you, these are NOT the core files like Backup, Documents, Web etc. which I know cannot be deleted. These are files and folders underneath these 'core folders', like Bookmarks.xml under iDisk>Library>Applications Support>Bookmarks.
Thanks in advance for any pointers/suggestions/solutions. Cheers, VeitThe best procedure would probably be to go to System Preferences>MobileMe>Sync, stop sync (do this on all machines), then click on the 'Advanced' button and then on 'Reset sync data'.
Then you will need to set up all syncing again from scratch. Though I've never tried to tamper with the files you mention I wouldn't be surprised to find they were protected (as is the '_gallery' folder in Web/Sites) to stop people deleting them inadvertently. -
How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?
It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad. -
Why can't I delete some emails that have no content?
I have some emails that when I try to delete them the email app closes I cannot even select the email without the app closeing
Did you try swiping the emails from the list view? You don't have to open the emails - just swipe on the message in the list from left to right and a red delete button pops up.
Try resetting the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 101-5 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
You can try closing mail as well. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close mail by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the mail app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close it. Restart the iPad - by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if you can delete the emails now. -
Why can't I delete some synced multiples?
Am syncing a Mac, iPad, and iPhone. I often have multiples of the same pictures appear on the devices. I am able to trash some of them but others do not display the trash can when selected. I can find no logic in why multiples appear or won't delete
Do you have your iPod set up to automatically sync your iTunes content including Podcasts or do you manually add and remove content from youri Pod via iTunes?
If you automatically sync content to your iPod, double check your sync settings from under your iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes. Try removing the option to sync podcasts at all and then updating the changes to your iPod. This will remove ALL podcasts from the iPod. Once it has finished, resync the podcasts back to your iPod and see if that helps.
Otherwise, it may be necessary to just restore your iPod to factory settings.

This just happened! I wanted to get rid of an app - as I've done for the past two years - by holding down the app until it shakes... But the little x's in the top left corner have vanished! Is this some sort of update? How do I delete apps on the iPod now? Thanks
You're welcome, you are going to need these settings the next couple of years, I set it up for my 12 year old, to prevent app installation or removal on his iPod

Why can't I move some apps between screens?
I am unable to move most apps between screens. After making it movable, and attempting to move the app to another scene, it just bounces off the edge.

Hi: It can indeed be a tricky maneuver until you get accustomed to it. When the Icon you wish to move is at the edge, hold it in that position for a second or 2, it should then jump to the next screen.
Hope this helps
