Home screen initially appears in text.

I have the BBC News set as my Homepage. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/ ) There has not been any problem on earlier Firefox versions, but now, on first selection after booting up computer the homescreen appears only in 'text'. If I hit the 'home' icon/button in the toolbar, the homescreen then appears correctly. Alternatively, if I hit the 'refresh' button the homescreen then appears correctly.
All other opening screens open correctly. The BBC also opens correctly if set as the homescreen on Opera, Chrome, Safari or IE9 - all without the problem. Ideas?
Thanks.

How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on 3GS

How can I turn off the home screen preview of SMS/text messages on my new Iphone 3GS ?

Go to Settings>Messages and choose "No" under "Show Preview" which will hide the text part of the SMS/text message but still will pop up on who its from and just says "text message" on it.
Other than this there is not a complete way to disable the notification.

Aspect ratio of home screen and websites; vert vs horizontal way off

Discrepancy of aspect ratios: horizontal is reduced, vertical, including text is expanded for home screen and all sites, Text is enlarged and one line is superimposed on the preceding. I tied Internet Explorer and sites display properly.

Getting next calendar event on home screen

I have just bought an iPhone 5, never had one before. On my old htc and before that, on my Nokia n95, I could get the next calendar event on my home screen - how do I do this on my iPhone?

Well how bizaare !
I went into Settings - Personal - Home Screen - Home Screen Theme and switched to "Basic", then to "Contacts" .... and the Home Screen emails appeared again.
I then went back to the Home Screen sub menu, and a 4th entry had appeared : E-mail Notification ! Before there were only 3 (Shortcuts, Home Screen and Home Screen Theme).
I've now gone back to my original Home Screen Theme (Shortcuts Bar).
What a strange (and at times frustrating) phone.

IPhone 5, webpages added to home screen don't open correctly

When I open pages stored to the home screen they appear to open using the old screen size. There are black bars at top and bottom and no navigation bars. Even the time, battery indicator, etc are moved down on the screen.

The error that you are seeing has to do with your Internet connection. Try disabling your anti-virus software and connect the iPhone again and try to restore. See this support document for help. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

Contacts on Home Screen

Have recently started using I Phone (really impressed). I was previously using an LG Cookie, which had a really useful facility where you could have a quick dial direct to your favourite numbers from the home screen, these appeared as an app does. Really useful, does anyone know if this is available with the I phone? Or maybe in the future. Or does anyone know a shortcut to any favourite numbers without having to scroll through "favourites"??

The only way to do it right now is to use Favorites in the phone app.

Suddenly all incoming Text messages only appear on my home screen and disappear when opened, What happened?

Two days ago all my text messages became scrambled. I get notified when a new message appears on my locked home screen, but when I open them up, they disappear until I answer the thread. Unfortunately, I can't read the entire message when it is on the locked home screen. When I reply, other texts are mixed in under the person's thread I am trying to answer. I deleted all old texts in hope that this would resolve itself, but it became worse! I have not changed any setting. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!

Same thing is happening to me whethere the texts are received on the imessage or other text message apps. The message is showing on the lock screen halfway and when I try to pull it it is not here. This is happening since IOS 7. Is there still a glitch??

HT1551 Hi. The TV shows icon does not appear on my home screen. Any ideas how I can locate it?

Icons are missing from my home screen.
The TV show icon was missing today. I updated with the latest software - now the TV and movie icons are both missing.
Can someone point this newbie in the right direction?
Many thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
There are reports of TV Shows and/or Movies missing from users screens, initially it looked like this might be an issue in the UK only, but it may well be more widespread. It appears to be an issue that can't be fixed by the user, you will need to wait until this is resolved by Apple.

OK, just remembered that someone had posted a solution for this "login loop" issue.
If you follow the directions here and be sure to enter all of this EXACTLY as it appears here, you may be able to solve this problem.
You will first need to boot into single user mode, which will bring you to a scary looking text only screen. Don't be frightened.
To do this, startup holding the Cmd-S keys together. At the entry which shows root# enter the following exactly. Write it down now, since you won't be able to copy/paste. Pay attention to case and spaces. Everything is lower case. The only spaces are between /sbin/mount and -uw, between -uw and / and between rm and /var/audit/current
Type in
/sbin/mount -uw /
Hit return and then at the next root# prompt, type in
rm /var/audit/current
Then hit return and at the next root# prompt type in "reboot" no quotes. Don't type in anything new until you get the root# prompt after entering each command.
If after entering rm /var/audit/current, you get a message back saying "no such file," then just type in "reboot" at the prompt.

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

Hard disk drive doesn't appear on home screen

I have a external hard disk drive in NTFS. I have there a lot of data I need to transfer to my new Mac, so I can't erase nothing from there. I installed MacFUSE and Paragon 9 to correct the issue, but after that, the drive just didn't appear anymore on the home screen. It is in Disk utility (in grey color), but I can't mount it and the Fix Disk doesn't help at all. So now I have hard disk drive that doesn't appear to even exist, even the system can find it.
Can anyone say anything constructive?

Look on the other screens (swipe left). If desired, move it to the first screen.
