First off, they won't be able to kill the fittest (strongest/fastest/best camouflaged etc.) prey. Thus, the term "survival of the fittest". Second, animals reproduce. Carnivores tend to reproduce at a reduced rate compared to their prey.

Why is a predator not able to totally wipe out their prey?

Well, it is possible; however, if this were to happen the predatory species would be at a particular disadvantage given that it would lose that species in its diet. Should that particular species (i.e., the one that went extinct) have assumed a position of importance in the predator's diet, there could be rather disasterous consequences for the latter's continued survival.

What would happen if all carnivores died what effect with this have on environment?

Most carnivores are called "Keystone Predators" which means they can change hunting tactics instantly if certain prey numbers are low. When carnivores are wiped out, prey grows in numbers a lot, and weaker genes spread as the weaket prey is not killed. The producers of the food chain (grass e.t.c) also drastically decrease in amounts and potentially threaten to wipe out the prey species that rely on it. In short, the prey would populate areas very quickly and would deplete all food sources before they could replenish. Massive populations of animals would starve to death similar to lemmings. In the long term eventually a specific group of animals would evolve to become predators much like mammals did when dinosaurs died off.
