Blank app spaces in home screens/folders

When viewing a home screen, or a folder, in which neither is filled with apps, why are the blanks at the bottom, which puts apps further from your thumbs reach?

That is correct - you must have a photo in every photo frame to order

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.

You could make folders of interest, moving any travel-related into it
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.

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.

HT201272 I just bought a new iPad. When I tap on Purchase in the App store I see all my previously purchased apps each with a little box that says open. There is no download cloud. How do I get these apps onto my home screen?

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.

Why did iso7.1.1 change the ability to see your apps when you use four fingers to partly close the app your in. In 7.1 you could use four fingers to partly close a app and see all the apps on that home screen. I used this all the time to check the date

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?
Thanks

The 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.

A week ago, I got a red circle with the number 1 on it on the "setting" app on my home screen. I went to settings and there is a notification on the general tab about iso7 for my ipad. Read it and went back to home screen, but red circle won't go off.

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

How do I get my apps to my home screen when it's in my setting

My Facebook app is in my setting but it's not on my home screen... When I go to App Store it says it's already down loaded... How do I get it to my home screen??

Facebook is in the settings whether you have the app or not, so that's not a surprise.
Search for the app. Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to reveal the Spotlight Search at the top of the screen. Type in Facebook. The app should appear in the search. If it is hidden in a folder, that folder will be shown to the right of the app name in the search.
if it's not in a folder, just start swiping from screen to screen to look for it. You can move it to the first screen by tapping and holding down on the icon until it wiggles, then move the app to the edge of the screen - about halfway over to the next screen - and the app should jump to that screen. Tap the home button when you are done moving the app.

SharePoint Newsfeed iOS app crashes to Home screen

Hello!
We are having some trouble getting the SharePoint Newsfeed mobile app to work on iOS devices with our on-prem SharePoint 2013 instance. When users go to sign in, they enter their username, password, and URL (the URL has been verified as correct). When they
tap the "Sign in" button, the app shows the "Loading..." screen for about a second, and then crashes to the Home screen. This is happening on all iOS devices we have tested it on, which span multiple versions of iOS 6, as well as iOS 7.
However, the SharePoint Newsfeed mobile app works fine on Windows Phone 8 devices with our SharePoint instance. Has anyone else seen this problem or have any recommendations on how to resolve it?
Thank you!

Hi siasmj,
Could you access SharePoint MySite from iOS browser?
Please check if you input the correct personal site URL (http/https) in your iOS SharePoint Newsfeed app.
Please also try removing and re-installing the SharePoint Newsfeed app from your iOS devices, and test again.

App to make home screen bookmarks into apps?

As it seems there is no direct way to see if your home screen bookmark got saved in an iPad sync on the Mac, maybe an alternative approach can be done by some enterprising programmer? Why not convert the home screen bookmarks into short apps that are clearly backed up in your iTunes? I don't see the bookmarks actually saved like the Apps are in iTunes unless they are synced directly from Safari. I'm hoping to find some way to access the bookmarks I created on my home screen instead of the ones that are on Safari. Anybody know of such an app?

I also have an original iPad and have that behavior...usually when working on a site such as these communities in Safari. When that happens I do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignoring the red slider if it appears. That seems to clear whatever has been overloading the memory and tripping it.

The new iOS 6.0 update doesn't show my apps on my home screen. They are in the iCloud but only give me the option to open therm. How do I get these apps back to my home screen?

My apps are not showing on my home screen after the new iOS 6 update. They are in my iCloud but it only gives me and option to open. How do I get these apps back on my home screen?

Do you have an Restrictions set that would hide the apps? Settings>General>Restrictions
Have you used the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find them.
Next
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Blackberry curve won't show any app icons in home screen

I have a curve that isn't registered because my dad gave it to me, but it was working fine until I took a picture and put it as my background. Then in the home screen no apps(even preloaded ones) will show up.
