I give up. How do you delete apps in iOS7? - RAMd®d - 09-20-2013

I stumbled on the method of summoning Spotlight on the iPad, all by myself.

Trying to Google deleting apps only takes me to force-quitting them.

I know I'll have to delete them from my Mac as well. But all I can do is make them twerk, no X shows up as in OSs past.

Hold your finger on its icon for a moment.
All the icons will start to wiggle and have an "x" in their upper right corner.
Tap the x of those you want to delete.

Duex, the problem is that no X doesn't show up at all.

Update: I had Delete Apps turned off in Restrictions. D'oh! Somehow your suggestion triggered a faint memory of playing with that setting.

FYI, the X is in the upper left corner.

Thanks for your help!

same problem
in itunes when tethered go to apps page
double click app you wish to remove until highlighted
press delete key

btw i have delete apps restriction turned on
to prevent my 4 yo from accidentally deleting an app.

lol! I had turned it off years ago. Never needed to delete an app until one day...then I went through the same thing.

Twerk is EXACTLY what those apps do before you delete them!!
