Deleting an icon from main screen

How do I delete an icon from the home page screen on an iPad 2 ?

Touch and hold any app icon on that page until all the icons start to wiggle. Then tap the X by the icon/app you want to delete. Press the Home button one to restore normal operation. You can't delete the native apps/folders that came with the iPad such as Maps or Gam Center.

  • IPhone 4: Unable to delete Safari Bookmarks from main screen

    My iPhone4 (iOS 4.3.5) won't delete Safari Bookmarks from the main screen. When the bookmark is held down (it starts wriggling, and is able to be moved around), there is no "x" option. I am still able to delete apps. I'm not able to delete the bookmark off my iphone through iTunes either. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Unsure as to what causes the problem but this will definitely resolve it. No personal data will be lost it just resets settings as the name suggests. Of course you can just update/restore but this is an unneseccary step.

  • 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.

    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it. It cannot be deleted from the iPad.
    You can reset the the home screen layout but that returns the home screen to the original out of the box set up - but it will restore the icon to the home screen.

  • Howto remove apple icons from home screen

    Hello!
    How do i remove all icons from home screen (include apples default icons), and just show the application icon for the program that should be used in our warehouse?

    The icons of the homescreen reflect the top line of those located on your main menu.
    So, you will need a different theme that has the features you desire.

  • Can't drag icon from customize screen to tool bar on Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet.

    On my Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet, win 8.1, I am unable to drag the 'download' (arrow) icon from the customize screen on to the tool bar.
    I was able to drag the 'search' icon from the screen to the tool bar.
    Why can I drag one, and not another?
    Thanks,
    WoodyB

    You can click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar setup if there is a problem with customizing the toolbars.
    You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file if you continue to have problems.

    How do I mov an icon from one screen to another on my Iphone 5?

    Tap and hold an Icon until they begin to shake. Move the Icon towards the edge of the screen and hold for a couple seconds. The Icon will then "jump" to the next screen.

    How do I move icons from one screen to another. 

    Hold down on one icon until they start shaking, then drag the icon to the edge of the screen, and the screen should slide to the next one, you can then drop it on that screen or drag it again to the edge to move to the next screen.

  • How do I delete duplicate icons from the dock of an Imac 8.1?

    How do I delete duplicate icons from the dock of an Imac 8.1?

    No dragging to trash doesn't work. Just keep dragging them off. If they are stacked, which shouldn't happen, then when you delete one the other is still there.
    Just how did you get duplicates? Did you put them there? If not then you have other problems and I'm not sure how to correct it.

  • How can I delete Duplicated icon from the dashboar

    Please can someone help me : How do I  delete duplicated icon from dashboard, like the  Safari Icon and System Preference, and remain witht only one of each, that keeps working?  Thank you

    Well, Aleksdev and Paul_31, you helped me a lot, , thank you so much.
    Let me tell what worked.
    I went to the dock and deleted the good Safari and System icons, then I draged the ones on the dashboard to the trash.
    Then I restarted,  and they were no more either on the dock nor on dashboard.
    To put the safari icon back to the dock, I had to go Applications and drag the Safari Icon back to the dock. It worked, but with the icon for System Preferences, it did nit work this way.
    But never mind the important is that Safari icon stays always at the dock .
    So, one more time, guys thank you so much for the help.
    Maybe I'll be asking some more questions in the future, if you don't mind. I'm not an I-MAC specialist. I'm new on Apple world.
    Best regards!
    Monica

  • How do I delete dashlane icon from Mavericks toolbar

    How do I delete dashlane icon from Mavericks toolbar?  This app is redundant and not necessary in Mavericks.  I have uninstalled but I cannot drag the icon off the toolbar.

    I am sorry CT, it is the menu bar and on the right side at the top...
    Below is one of the suggestion I have found, but it doesn't work.
      OS X Mavericks: What’s in the menu bar?
    The right end of the menu bar contains “status menus,” which are represented by icons.
    These menus show the status of your Mac or give you quick access to certain features—for example, you can quickly turn on Wi-Fi, turn off Bluetooth, or mute your computer’s volume.
    You can add some icons to the right end of the menu bar. For example, you can show a volume slider in the menu bar by selecting a checkbox in the Sound pane of System Preferences. You can also add a status icon for some apps to the menu bar when you install the app.
    To rearrange the status menu icons, hold down the Command (⌘) key while dragging the icons. To remove an icon from the menu bar, hold down the Command key and drag the icon out of the menu bar.
