Apps icon on home screen - POOF!
Brand new iPod touch bought for my daughter yesterday. We downloaded some apps and now the icon on the homescreen disappeared!
What can I do to bring it back? Should I reset the whole thing?
Can you find the app using the Search feature?
What "icon" disappeared?
Try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Screen Layout.
I would also recommend looking at the manual

Guided Access makes some app icons on Home screen dark
Hi,
I've found that when I've used Guided Access on my phone, almost always when I come out of it some of the apps on my home screen are darkened. The screenshot below shows an example (please excuse my ridiculously colourful wallpaper!) You can see some of the apps that are greyed out are iBooks, YouTube, App Store & all the ones in the bottom bar.
It seems very random which ones go dark. It's not that the app need an update or anything, and the apps still work. Sometimes if I open one of the darkened apps & use it a bit, the icon will go back to normal, but not always. Anyone have any idea why? I know it's not a problem that causes any practical issues, but it just looks wrong & is starting to niggle me. Thanks in advance for any help.mouellet wrote:

Yep!
And that involves moving them manually, which is what I do.
The OP wants it automated, I don't know that I want the device doing that.

How do I move or delete App icons from my screen?
I'm tryng to eliminate most of the icons on my phone screen. On my 4, I used to be able to do it by holding my finger on the icon and either editing or just moving. But I can't move anything to page 2 of my screen and page 1 is full. HELP
Press on and hold any one app on the home screen(where it shows all your apps), they'll go into a "wiggle mode", you can then use the x's in the left top corner of the icons to uninstall the apps or drag them around to rearrange them. Also dragging an app icon on top of another one and holding it there for a second will create a "folder" or group, which will allow you to organize apps better. You can also put groups in the dock on the bottom.

How do I delete icons in Home Screen?
Hey guys,
My sister used my curve and when I got it back, I saw that there was a Myspace icon for the Myspace app on my home screen. The app isn't downloaded yet, but I can't seem to delete the icon from my screen (I don't want it there). For now I just have it hidden.Hi and welcome to the forums!
Go to options, advanced options, applications.
Let the table build and then check to see if you have an application for Myspace.
If you do highlight the entry and menu key, delete.
Do a battery pull and this will delete the icon.
Some apps are pre set by your carrier. On my Curve I have facebook, part of the
Verizon setup. I can delete it, but whenever I get service books it is pushed to the
phone by the carrier and the icon returns. I have created a folder for these apps and
all others I do not use. By keeping the useless apps in a folder I reduce clutter and
do not accidentally activate them.
Thanks,
Bifocals

I just bought a new iPad and the apps I had previously purchased are in the app store under Purchased. They appear with a little box that says "Open". There is no download cloud so I can't click on them to download the apps to my home screen. Is there a way to move these apps to my home screen?
If they have 'open' next to them then that implies that they are already on your iPad - if you tap on the 'open' button does that open the app ? If it does then they are on your iPad. You've checked all your homescreens and tried a soft-reset to see if they show after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have an iTouch. I do not remember exactly what happened, but I now have a folder labeled "Books" that contains my Kindle app.
Previously, I simply had the Kindle app on the home screen.
How do I remove the Books folder and return to the previous setup, i.e. just the Kindle app on the home screen?Is there another app in the folder like the iBooks app? Yu can move two apps together and when they combine and be placed in a folder. Itunes will guess/suggest a folder name and you can change it. If there are tow apps in the folder just go to that folder and touch and hold the an app and after they start wiggling mode one app out side the folder and folder will disappear if there were only two apps in the folder. To stop the wiggling depress the Home button once.

Why did ISO 7.1.1 change the feature where you could use four fingers to close an app and see if he other apps on your home screen as you were closing an app. This was the handiest feature I thought because I could partially close the app I was working in and see the date or other things on my home screen and then released the four finger position and be right back to the app I'm working in. Please change this in the next update back to the way it was!!!!!
I get the multitasking list (all prior apps, scrollable) and can switch to an app, swipe up to force it closed instead of "at rest" and can click back to the originating app in the same place i was prior to the swipe,

Getting a new app to te home screen
Posted before but did not see it so am asking again
How do I get a new app to the home screen?
ThanksThe easiest way is to open your app drawer, find the app you want, long press it and drag it where you want to go, you can even drag it from screen to screen by taking it all the way to the end til the screen moves. Your other two options are, while in your homescreen, either long press any empty spot, or press menu> add.

When turning Off Restrictions, iPad moves previously restricted apps to the home screen
I this normal?
I've had the iPad Air for about 2 weeks now... and I'm sure I haev set and disables restrictions about a week ago with no problem....
But now..
If I restrict apps for age 9+ for example... those apps will be hidden from their folders... which is good and works as it should be.
When I then disable the restrictions it takes the app shortcut out of the folder and leaves it on the home screen!
To test this again I again enabled restrictions on ALL apps and then disabled the restrictions.... and the result was that ALL of my downloaded apps got moved out of their folders and placed on the home screen.
The apps like calendar and face time that come with the iPad were left in their folders.
What's going on????Thanks for the help... It's too bad that it works that way.... I have folders for each person in the family and wanted to age-restrict apps when my kids were playing, then disable restrictions whenever I was going to use it.... I guess I'll just have to leave those age restricted apps on the home screen.
I have submitted feedback. -
Red circle on "settings" app on home screen. It's notifying me of the new iso7 software available I have read the notification but the red one on the settings app on the home screen won't go out as they do after reading the notification. Any ideas?
Have you turned off the device or reset it by pressing the top on/off button and the home button at the same time?
Try that -
The display screen on my Ipad is coming up all blurred with blue background mixed with pink and purple lines. It's difficult to see icons but apps are still accessible. Colors are off and images are very unclear on apps and home screen.
Has anyone had this problem or any advice on troubleshooting?
Thanks.First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
But it could also be a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
