App folders

how do i put my apps on my ipad into folders such as a games folder, notes folder, etc?

I don't have an iPhone, only ever upgraded a Touch and there has always been a nominal fee for the upgraded. I believe the last upgrade was about $5 USD. iPhone users don't have to pay. The reason for this, as I understand it, is because of an accounting law, Sarbanes-Oxley. It's a bit complicated but has to do with the fact that, in the U.S., the price of the iPhone is generally subsidized by the carrier. As the price of the iPad is not subsidized by the carrier, I'm guessing the upgrade will cost something. However, I'm venturing into the forbidden realm of speculation. We'll all just have to wait and see.
Best of luck.

Creating .app folders in other operating systems?

I'm working on a cross-platform game and am hoping to create an OS X port of it. I don't have access to a mac, and so am unable to use the xcode tool for creating .app folders. Are there any tools for creating .app folders on other operating systems? I'd prefer Linux, but can also use windows if required.
Thanks
Nathaniel

Well, .app bundles are specific to Cocoa and Carbon applications... The closest way to make such applications is to use GNUStep (which is an open Cocoa) but it means to rebuild the whole app to make it work with Cocoa/GNUStep...
However, application that are compatible with Mac OS X are not necessarily in .app bundles. Bundles are used for a specific purpose which gather files that the app should have really close, like its interface files (nib) that is used only with Cocoa or Carbon. If your app is neither Carbon nor Cocoa, there's no use in creating a .app bundle it doesn't even exist. And moreover, Xcode (or Project Builder on GNUStep) is the only app that creates .app bundles.

Is there an app or a way to password protect app folders?

Is there a way to password protect app folders in iOS5?

Not possible. Your only options remotely regarding this are Restrictions.

Syncing and losing app folders

Hi since the new massive software upgrade last week my iphone is losing message threads and also all the app folders I created. I have re-created these twice now but it is a wste of time and very tedious.
Any bright ideas?
Thanks

I too feel like this is a big waste of time.But maybe I am not doing something right.. some times it takes me over an hour to arrange my apps and then when I sync half dont show up and the other half I have to search for because they are not where I put them.. any suggestions?

How to delete App folders

I cloud drive is showing various app folders - I have deleted the app but how do I delete the folder from iCLoud drive?

Same issue here.
I installed iMovie for iOS because I thought it would enable me to export slow-mo videos with the correct frame rate, but it didn't. So I deinstalled it again, and now I'm stuck with an empty iMovie folder in my iCloud drive that can not be deleted, not even after removing iMovie from the iCloud backup list in the settings. The iMovie folder only disappeared for a moment after I did that, but soon bounced back.
Not even being able to remove a folder doesn't invite me to switch from Google Drive to iCloud Drive yet.

Place your finger on a folder and wait for it to wiggle... lift up... tap on the folder again... now you can rename the folder .

How come my app folders bunched up on top of each other?

I opened my (new version) iPad and swiped from my opening screen over to my second screen and found every one of my app folders were in the top left corner sitting on top of one another all locked up. The event was completely random. I had to reboot the iPad to get it unstuck. Has anyone else seen this happen?
John

I have read about it happening to other users. I sure don't think it's anything to worry about if rebooting returned the screen to normal. Rebooting resets the system memory, and something probably just went a little whacky - maybe an app conflict, an app crash, or something like that.
If it is a one time occurrence, I wouldn't sweat it.

Creating App Folders

I am trying to organize my IPAD by using app folders. I read you can press down on the icon and it then shakes, then you can drag it to another icon and it will create a folder. When I do this it just rearranges the icons. Is there a way to create app folders? I would also like to create email folders if possible.
Thanks,
Dave

As was explained in the response to your other post on this issue, this will be possible when version iOS 4.2 comes out later this month. You can currently do it on the iPhone if you have iOS 4.0 or higher.

Maximum number of app folders

Can anyone tell me what is the maximum number of app folders one can have in the iphone?
Thanks

You can create up to 11 Home screens and you can put up to 12 apps in a folder, you can create up to 16 folders per home screen. You will of course be unable to move some of the preinstalled apps into folders so you should bear that in mind.

IPhone apps folders

Does anybody know what is needed to see the iPhone apps folders, just like in the pic below?
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
Ubuntu natively does that, but I don't know what package I need to be installed in Arch to allow that. As you can see on the left side of the image, there are two mountpoints, one for the iPhone root folder and the other containing some of the iPhone installed apps.

I just had this happen this evening - I spent hours categorizing everything, had it down to a lean 4 or 5 screens, and had sync'd a few times. After the last sync, however, they were all reset to alphabetical, unfoldered order.
One odd thing I remember prior to the sync wiping the app layout is that I had one app that appeared to be installed twice - it was visible both in a folder and on the main screen in iTunes (I don't know if it actually appeared twice on the phone itself). I think it was AAA Triptik (couldn't tell you for sure, since everything after page 11 is missing, and that only goes up to 'R'). I clicked on the cross to delete one instance of it (from the main screen, not the folder) - this prompted me to uninstall the app. I was fine with that since I don't have any saved data - I sync'd and it uninstalled the app. Don't know if that's what also clobbered the layout. I then re-checked the app in iTunes and sync'd again so it'd get reinstalled.
Not looking forward to doing this again... :-/

I can't see my apps & folders in the newest iTunes?

On the latest version of iTunes, I can't view my device (iPhone5) or manage the apps or folders on the iPhone5. I can sync my iPhone, transfer purchases from my iPhone, Backup or Restore from Backup. I used to be able to see a pic of my homescreen and manage apps & folders, but no longer can.

I assume that you have already powered down and restarted the entire network.
The next thing to check is this:
Click anywhere on the open desktop so that the Finder menus appear at the top of the screen
Click the Finder menu, then click Preferences
Click the General tab
Under the heading of Show these items on the desktop, make sure that there is a check mark next to Connected Servers
You may need to restart the entire network again.
Any help?

Scrolling inside app folders?

Why Apple has not yet been made scrolling inside app folders? such as Cydia...
It would be very convenient, the screen will have less "screen-pages"! Now in my iPhone 7 "screen-pages"!
Sometimes i need quickly run an app and i waste to many time to find needed app!
I need scrolling in app folder but i don't want to do jailbreak....
Let's ask Apple to add this feature all together!

If you want to find a app just press the home button when your on your homescreen this will take you to search iPhone then just start typing the name of it and you can go on it from there rather than hav8ing to find it

How are iPad Apps folders structured?

Hi,
I accessed the iPad's file system with an iOS file browser and wondered how the Apps folders are structured.
all Apps have a similar file structure:
a folder with a .app ending named after the App itself - for example "Twitter.app" or "FindMyiPhone.app".
a Library folder.
a folder called tmp.
a folder called Documents
what is the distinctive function of each of these folders?
do I assume correctly that all files that contain user data - such as savegames, preferences, personalization - are stored under Documents? does that mean that backing up the Documents folder will preserve all data that cannot be redownloaded and reinstalled from the App Store?
best, Ian

thanks for the clarification.
is it correct that all user data - by which I mean data that is relevant for a backup and cannot be restored by redownloading and reinstalling an app from the App Store - is stored in the Documents folder?
do I assume correctly that temporary files and cached data is stored in the tmp folder while the .app as well as the Library folder contain data that can be restored by redownloading and reinstalling an app from the App Store?

Is anyone else wasting a lot of his or her life constantly rearranging apps & app folders, trying to figure out how to organize them, and what to call each app folder?

Because I'm constantly downloading & deleting new apps; struggling to figure out what the app folders should be called, where they should they be placed, and how to find them in the mess of apps & app folders; and because I don't know what it is about the design that has created this problem; I don't know what to do about it & I'm confused.
I'm really curious about how small or big of a problem this is, if at all. Is anyone else wasting a lot of precious time which could be used for important things? Plus, is Apple trying to fix the problem like I asked them to? Thanks.

I didn't mean that it's Apple's fault. Jeez, you've mis-interpreted my message, and already you're judging me. I've always had this immediate judgmental reaction & organizational problem. Plus, I have many disabilities like autism.
What I meant was that certain people like me have trouble with organization; taking notes; understanding how technology, the world, real life, people, etc work; etc(especially since nobody ever taught me how to be organized).
So sorry if I seem to be the only one who's having trouble understanding how to best use app folders. Sorry about that, I'm having a messed-up, bad day today.
Anyways, it's even harder because there is/are no universal standard methods/controls/commonality/design/etc across many different companies/products/etc when it comes to technology).
I'm used to using home computers where you can categorize emails, folders, software, etc by name/type/date/etc.
I can't help it if I wasn't taught many of the things most people knew well before I did. I had to choose between academic classes/school/etc and small easy classes.
Basically, what I'm trying to say is that Apple isn't to blame; but the design can be confusing to some people & it can help aid the person into creating this problem themselves.
Plus, it increases the likelihood & possibility of the person developing this problem while using the iPad based on many different factors. So, Apple & their design are not responsible, but the design doesn't help the situation for some people.
