Arranging icons on iPad

Have been attempting to rearrange icons on my new iPad...all the posts say to do it via iTunes...how do I do that? I went to my Apps in iTunes...and I can drag them around, but they do not stay in anything but the order they are already in. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

With the iPad connected and iTunes running on your computer, click on iPad in left column under Devices. Click on th Apps tab on the right side of iTunes. You will see a representation of your iPad screens. Click on the screens you want, click and drag the apps and drop them on the screen you want them on.

A better way to arrange icons?

Is there a better way to arrange icons? iTunes just **ed up all of my sorted icons and they are now however iTunes determined them to be. I've got 7 pages that I really don't want to 'click & drag'. It'd be nice if I could arrange them in iTunes.

Happened to me once. I did a restore and it set them back in the proper spots I had them in before. Other than doing that you have to do them on the phone.

Re-arranging apps in iPad / iTunes syncing

I was arranging my apps in my iPad into the folders that mirror my iPhone (because of the issue with restoring iPad from iPhone backup and folder arrangment doesn't sync).
I tried re-arranging the apps in iTunes, but everytime I sync'ed, the apps on the iPad would revert back to the original restore.
What I did was:
1) delete the iPad backup from iTunes.
2) eject iPad from iTunes
3) re-arrange apps on iPad
4) re-connect to iTunes using cable.
5) back up and sync to iTunes
Hope this helps someone else.

I get that ipad specific apps wouldn't transfer, but I'm talking games like angry birds and words with friends, stuff that I would have to repurchase to get on my iphone at this point even though they're in my itunes.
I went to the app store on my iphone and looked where you said but they weren't there either.
Can I really not put games I've purchsed on more than one device with the same itunes acct?? that seems odd...

airplay icon on ipad is gone, trying to play spotify on my ipad and use airplay to the Bose unit, it worked yesterday, but today the airplay icon is gone , how do I get it back

I just had the same problem. Took the first unit back and the problem is still occuring on the second one. I solved it by setting up again with the USB, but it keeps dropping out every few days.

How to Retrieve YouTube default icon from iPad?

Hello iPad users.. would you like to lend some help on how you can retrieve the YouTube default icon from iPad? I no longer see it in my homescreen which I was wondering why... I would like to retrieve it. I did go to the App store to find it but the YouTube app from Google is very small and when you push 2x its pixelated.
The YouTube app coming from iPad which was installed right before you buy it was the one I am looking for and I can't seem to find it.. Please I need your help and thanks so much for any assistance you can give..
Blessings..
PS I have the iPad 3 version

iOS 6 no longer has the native YouTube app. All there is (for now) is the iPhone version that you found. Supposedly Google is working on an iPad version of this app.

When starting my MAC on the home page with my icons-- how do I arrange icons alphabetically left to right

How does one arrange icons from left to right ala Windows. I would like the Mac disk icon in the upper left of the window followed by app and file icons to appear in alphabetical order from left to right. I know it will go vertically and then to the next row. I have been reading English like this for over 60 yrs and the default set-up gives an old man a large pain in the head. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jim Buckley

I think they do it to be a pain in the ***. There is no reason to have people read in reverse alpha order. Some countries read right to left but here it's reversed. You think the geniuses here would figure out how to make allowance for that in their software.
I love the mac mini's size, etc, but using mac in general has made me nuts. I don't understand how people think it's intuitive. I find myself taking a ridiculous amount of steps to get anything done, but it may just be me. I know some people just love them.

Ipad stuck in recoveery mode, but trying to recover, it says it can't. Stuck with the picture of USB cable Itunes icon on Ipad.

tried shutting of...looked like it was recovering after 45 min. it came back saying it can't be recovered and same icons on ipad,,,,USB cable and Itines icon.

Can't see the airplay icon on iPad 3

Can't see the airplay icon on iPad 3 and tried all options on here but still won't appear. Any suggestions.

Hello there Phillip,
If sounds like you updated to iOS 8.1.3 and now do not see the AirPlay icon in the Control Center. I would run through the troubleshooting and setup verification. It should get that rectified for you:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Lost iCloud icon on iPad

Can't find iCloud icon on iPad. Can I re download app?

You don't get a separate iCloud icon on the iPad, if an app that you want to re-download is still in the store then you can re-download it via the Purchased tab in the App Store app.
Similarly you may be able to re-download music, films and tv shows in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app.
There is also a Settings > iCloud option if your iPad is on iOS 5+

How do you remove the Messages icon from iPad.

How can I remove the Messages icon from iPad.

The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted. You can move it into a folder and place the folder on another screen if you don't want to use the app or see the icon.
Tap and hold down on the icon until it begins wiggling and then drag the wiggling icon on top of another icon - any other app that you do not want to use would be ideal - and that will create a folder. Name the folder whatever you like. Tap anywhere outside of the folder to close it.
While the folder and icons are still wiggling - drag the folder over to the edge of the screen - about halfway over - and just hold it there for a second or so and it will jump over to the next screen. When you are done - Tap the home button to stop the apps from wiggling.

HT1311 How to download AppStore icon on iPad as it has been deleted by mistake on IPad?

Hello,
How can we download the AppStore icon on IPad as it has been deleted by mistake and we do not know how to retrieve it?
Thanks

It can't be deleted. Either it's been moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder, in which case doing a search for it or resetting the home screen layout (Settings -> General -> Reset) should bring it back, or the option to install apps has been turned off in Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
Regards.

Is there a way to arrange icons on my iPad to be the same as on my iPhone?

Hi... I am running latest versions of iOS on both my iPhone 5s and my iPad (currently 7.1.2). I am trying to find out if there is a utility or any "easy" method to arrange the icons/apps on my iPad to be the same as on my iPhone. It gets confusing switching between the two because the icons are placed differently and it is difficult to find the app I'm looking for quickly. I know I can simply search the device for the app, but I don't always recall the app name!
Thanks for any advice
Lee

Repeatable 64gb 3g/GPS iPad crash when re-arranging icons

We imported about a hundred iPod apps to this iPad. Once there, press and held one to enable re-arrange; do that for a while, without pressing the button to save the current state, and the iPod will shut down without warning - no dimming, just direct to the black screen with the apple on it.
It's really quite annoying.

Haven't got my iPad yet (due Friday) but can't Apps be re-arranged in iTunes like they can for the iPhone?
Yes. Just like the iPhone. One thing to keep in mind is when you arrange the icons with the itunes apps tab tool, be sure to click "Apply" before going to any other tab. If I skip that step, I lose any changes.

Anyone else lost the Airdrop icon on iPad Mini?

When I first installed iOS7 I had the Airdrop icon for a couple of hours but then it dissappeared. If I reboot the device (iPad mini ... should support Airdrop) and go directly to Control Center I can see it for a second, but then it quickly fades away and I can't get it to appear again until I reboot the device again.
Any ideas?

iOS 7.0.3 installed and there is a small difference from before; now the Airdrop symbol doesn't appear at all, not even immediately after reboot
Well, I guess something is wrong with the hardware
Thx anyway, pdroth, for trying.
