    From what i understand i see that - Cookies are not transferred between your website and your webapp when installing the icon on the home screen (for authentication purposes for example). It was working until 6.1 and now it’s not working anymore.
    Can someone please tell me if this bug will be fixed in any future release, if so the ticket number of some kind that i can track, or if there is a workaround for this issue?

  • I hate that with ios 7 my bookmarks show up on the safari home screen. Is there a way to remove the icons from the screen without deleting my bookmarks completely?

    I have recently updated to ios 7. On my safari home screen there are my favorites listed. I absolutely hate it. Is there anyway to remove the bookmarks from the safari home screen without deleting my bookmarks completely? I am resisting the urge to throw the whole **** thing away and buy another tablet. Please help me! I usually love the updates but I feel ios 7 is more than I can bare. If I wanted Window's crappy format I would have bought a Microsoft product!

    On your safaris home screen is a square icons consisting of your favorites and the IOS 7 favorites ( Disney,Apple,Yahoo,Etc) and I knew I wouldn't use these so I wanted to learn how to delete them. So, after messing around a few times with them, I realized how easy it was to delete them. All you have to do is go to the top right corner of your homepage and click on the book icon (found left of the cloud icon). Once you click on it, your history for safaris searches should come up. On the top left corner above your history should be " <Bookmarks " written in blue. Click on that and a list consisting of these should come up ( top to bottom of list ) FAVORITES / HISTORY / GOOGLE /BING / IPAD USER GUIDE. Click on FAVORITES. Your list on the favorites on your home screen should come up. Simply slide over the item to your left (EX.. Yahoo) and a DELETE button in red should come up. Click delete and your done, the icons should disappear on your home screen. Only bad is that you have to delete them from your favorites too.

  • I have just downloaded ios7 and none of my app icons are showing on the home screen.   In the App Store they are showing as purchases.   How do I get them to show as icons on the home screen?

    I have just downloaded ios7 to my iphone4.   Now none of my apps are showing as icons on my home screen.    What should I do?    This didn't happen when I updated my iPad.

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    The only new icons you can add to your home screen are webclips, which can be added by using the "+" button in safari on the desired web page.
    You won't be able to add new apps until February when the SDK is fully seeded to developers.

  • How do you create Document Icons on the Home Screen?

    I have an iPad to use exclusively in the kitchen and would like to make my recipes appear as indivdual icons on the home screens with an associated picture.
    For example; Pumpkin Soup
    I would like to create an icon with a picture of pumpkin soup and the same as a title.
    When you tap the Pumpkin Soup icon a page appears with instructions and perhaps a picture or two.
    So my question is: What are my options for creating these stand-alone icons that bring up a page that describes a recipe/document.
    I understand that there are many 'recipe' apps avaliable, but none that I've encountered have the ability to save individual recipes as icons on the home screen.
    I dont care whether I use a recipe app or some other processing/publishing app to achieve this.
    I would very much like the recipe/document to appear on screen crisp and clear without program formatting around it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I'm aware of the Safari shortcut, but was hoping there was a document, etc shortcut.
    Thank you for your reply James Ward4

  • Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size?

    Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size? I want to see full pictures from my camera roll, not "special effects" from Apple..

    By 3D band are you referring to the Dock area where apps like Safari and Mail live? If so there is no way to remove this.

  • An app will not completely download from the App Store to my iPhone 5S. Neither can I terminate the download by trying to delete it. The app is useless to me and so I would like to remove the icon from my home screen. How can I do this?

    I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away.  I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma.  Thank you kindly.

    What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (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 and it should reboot) ?
    You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents).

  • Car icon on E72 home screen

    A car icon has appeared on my home screen, and I cannot find any documentation as to what it indicates. It is displayed below the notifcation area, where other icons such as the ones for the alarm, bluetoooth and wifi connectivity, and unread mail are displayed.

    I got the same car icon on the home screen once my E72 is connected to my car over bluetooth.
    Did you pair your E72 with your car? You or someone must have done that before. Please check.

    How can I hide icon from my home screen?

    Hi pearlyxiel,
    If you have apps on your Home Screen that you don't use regularly and would like out of the way, you may want to create a folder for them and move them to a later screen. You can either do this from iTunes or directly on your iPhone, as outlined in the following articles:

  • Empty favorite contacts on my home screen, N97 min...

    Hello,
    I am trying to add my favorite contacts to the home screen of my brand new Nokia N97 mini.
    When I add the "favorite contact" from the content list, an empty (light black color) bar appears on my homescreen while I would have expected to have the contact names/pictures as  have 5 contacts marked as favorites.
    Moreover, when I click on this bar, nothing happens, it looks lie the 4 spots are empty!
    I have tried many other approaches (delete all favorite contacts, keep only one favorite, add new contact and set it as favorite) but it never worked!
    For your info, in the content list I have "favorite contacts" and also "favorite contacts II". Is this due to the fact that I have 5 favorite contacts?
    Could someone please help me?

    Hi, restoring the backup, could have caused your problem, try a soft reset and JUST restore your contacts and calender, NOT settings ( the settings from previous software could cause conflict/problems, better to set up phone again manually )
    Good Luck
