It seems odd, but drip some solder on the item you are trying to desolder. The rosin can dry up from something you are trying to remove leaving dry, flaky solder behind. Do this:
Heat joint fully
Add a drop of solder, which should just melt right in
Lay the wick on and soak it all up

...and search for solder. I learned how to solder very well from those guys, and they are all great with questions! Good luck!
