IPhone 4 :: IOS 7.1.2 / Icon Appear After Deleting
Aug 26, 2014
I have iphone 4 running ios 7.1.2.Recently i got the usual app update of angry birds:star wars.As the automatic app update was getting downloaded,i deleted the app.It was then when things got weird.After successfully deleting the app,another angry bird icon appeared on my home screen showing the loading blue round circle.
I pressed the loading icon to turn it into "waiting",then pressed and hold the app icon to make it wiggle and clicked on x.That is when the things got weird.I couldn't delete the ghost icon and it is still on my home screen.i took the following steps to make the ghost icon disappear but none of them worked. Â
1.I re-downloaded the app from app store but instead got two app icons on my home screen.The clickable and working app icon and the ghost icon.I deleted the original app again and tried to delete the ghost icon by hold n press icon and clicking on x.But no luck.Â
2.I once again downloaded the original app and tried this method of going to settings-general-usage and waited for apps to populate and clicked on angry birds app and pressed delete app.The original app icon disappeared from home screen but ghost icon is still there.Â
3. Long pressed both home button and sleep button to reset the phone.When phone restarted the bloody icon was still there.Â
4. Signed out of app store and tried deleting the ghost icon but no luck there.Â
the red dot does not go away after listening and deleting message.tried going back into messages and there is not any.Tried restarting phone to no avail.

The New Message icon stays up on my homescreen even after I have deleted all of my messages. Its very annoying because I know there isn't a new message and its an error. how to get rid of this icon?
A hard reset (remove the battery while the BB is on) seems to have worked. I say seemed since it has been reported on this board that it may return when the "service books" are updated...I'm new to BBs. I just purchased it today and against my better judgment installed FAcebook (FB). After getting a deluge of mindless drivel pushed to my new BB I decided FB was not coming near my BB again.So I found the icon - menu - delete. I restart the BB as instructed and to my surprise the icon is still there.I tried to move the icon into a folder but I don't know how to move it because the menu button does nothing when I select the icon and press menu.
And there are some FB messages too. I deleted the FB messages - when I check my messages it reports I have no messages in FB ... BUT there is a little FB icon at the top of the screen showing one message. This one message seems to be relic but I have no idea how to reset or delete it.I also tried the BB desktop software. It shows that it is uninstalled. There appears to be no way of deleting icon, moving the icon, or deleting the FB message indicator either.
Just got a replacement N5 and I'm using the native email app (as I was on my previous N5), with gmail syncing turned on. The problem is when I delete an email on my phone, it's not deleting it from the Gmail server (it's still there if I check email on my PC). Some setting on the phone or in Gmail on the PC that I'm forgetting about?
I have somehow lost the icon for "contacts". My contacts are still there, I can find them by searching but don't have an icon on my home page (or anywhere else) to click on to add new contacts or find old ones. Can anyone advise what I've done? I've tried synching with my laptop but that hasn't brought the icon back, and I've powered off. I backed up to the cloud earlier but am a bit bothered about trying a full restore! Besides, the contacts icon was missing when I last backed up, so it probably wouldn't come back anyway!
Some one added a small globe/world icon to the right of the number icon (123) at the bottom right of my screen which when pressed opens to the right revealing a ton of images and special characters that is the most help addition ever! I don't know how it was added as I want to see if I can add it to my iPad Mail

When I tell iTunes' iPad or iPhone to install a new app sometimes there isn't room. When I tell it, OK, don't install, I still get the error - there isn't enough room to think it is uninstalled.  The error stays there every time it syncs. I turn off sync music, sync, then turn on sync music - and that takes hours. (and stops when my Mac goes asleep).Â
I figured that was a bug in IOS, but if so, it has been a bug for years.  Right now my phone has 923.9 MB free, and the app that caused this problem says it has 777 MB, so it shouldn't have had that problem this time.I have 2.27 GB of "Other" and 3.39 GB of songs (not nearly the songs I have in iTunes).   My grandchildren were playing a new game on my iPad, and wanted to play a copy on my iPhone as well.
I just got my 4s and I am new to apple products. My iphone resontaly started to delete some of my contacts and keep others. Everyday I readd my contacts and they soon delete again. I dont know if it has something to do with my icloud or itunes or what?
I usually have my whole iPhone (4S) synced on my iMac desktop. I decided to sign into my iTunes account on my MacBook. I bought the movie Alice in Wonderland and it successfully downloaded to the MacBook. I tried to sync my phones info to the MacBook too but everytime I check off the box to sync movies it says "Are you sure you want to sync movies (apps, contacts, ibooks etc)? All existing movies and their data on "First Name Last Name's" libray will be replaced with movies on this library." This is a problem because there is no movies other than Alice in Wonderland on my MacBook's iTunes library. So, how can I get this darn movie onto my iPhone 4S w/o deleting anything current on my iPhone!?
I am trying to delete an iphone app I purchased yesterday. I was able to remove it from my phone temporarily but it keeps coming back every time I sync.
My iphone has music on and i would like to remove it. The music is NOT showing up in the "music" portion of itunes when I am connected. if I sync the music stays if I choose to sync or not.
Why is this? Everytime I look at my messages the numbers that I had stored are deleted, for a top phone this iPhone has a number of glitches. I need help on how to fix this problem is their an update available or something for it?
How do I delete photos off my Iphone 4S? When Iphoto is opened, the photos are not there. Just in my phone, and I need more space on my phone to keep taking pictures.
I tried deleting a song from my iphone (4S) according to the user guide. I went to songs and swiped the one I wanted to delete but there was no delete icon. How can I delete this song?
I Don't have enough storage to take a picture! I have deleted apps, picture and emails but nothing working ! I bought more storage but still not working ?
My iPhone 4s has been deleting texts but only from one contact. It's been happening since I upgraded it to the iOS 5.1 and I think it's a bug as I'm pretty sure it's not the memory. I just got it replaced a couple days ago and I've been looking up old threads and I think it's been happening to a couple people also. Is there any way I can fix this? It's pretty annoying, every time I go and try to view my old texts they're not there.
I would like to know if there's a way to delete the temporary files automatically created by apps on iOS5.1 without cancelling the whole app, because they occupy a lot of memory on the device.
