Home Screen Question

When the 1.1.3 update was released, and besides being able to move items around on the home screen, I thought I saw the icons with a little black "X" on the top left, like dashboard widgets have in OS X. I thought this would allow you to remove, for example, Stocks since I personally don't use it. When I updated to the new version, I didn't see anything indicating this.
Am I going crazy?

The black X will only appear for webclips that you have added. You still cannot remove the original widgets from your home screen. However, you could move unused widgets off to another home screen to get them out of the way.

  • Home Screen Questions

    Hi, I'm using an 8GB Ipod touch ver. 1.1.4.
    It seems that I don't have options to add web apps or web pages to my home screen ("add to home screen" option) in safari.
    I can't customize or move any icons in my home screen and I can't create a new page to my home screen.
    Thanks for the help!!!

    You need to have the January Upgrade ($20 from the iTunes store) to have those features (in addition to the 5 new apps - Mail/Maps/Stocks/Weather/Notes).
    Here's the link:

  • Home (task) Screen Question

    Just updated to the new 10.3.2 OS last night.  The home (task) screen used to only be active when there were active apps running in the background, and once all apps were closed, it returned to the apps screen or Hub, and the Home (tasks) screen would disappear.  The new OS now always keeps the Home (tasks) screen up all the time (even when I swipe up to unlock the phone), and I have to manually swipe to bring up the apps or HUB screen.  Question, is there a setting that will return this to the previous behavior?  Not really a technical issue, but more of an anoyance.

    Hi!
    To switch back to previous behaviour complete the following steps. Let me know if this helps
    On the Home screen, go to Settings, tap Display and within turn off Show wallpaper when all apps are closed.
    Thanks!

    I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

  • Calendar Questions: Home Screen

    Hi All, first post.
    I have two email addresses set up on my BB 8130, both are gmail.  
    My company has no enterprise network, fyi.  But when my boss sends an event email to me, it automatically adds it to my calendar, but it doesn't show up on my home screen for upcoming events.  
    My guess is that only one calendar (the other one evidently) can show at a time.  If this is the case, is there a way that I can sync or merge the two calendars so that when he sends me a calendar event email that it shows on the homescreen.
    I depend on that homescreen and I almost missed a meeting.
    Also, is there any way to get more than 2 events displayed on the home screen?  I've googled this, but there seems to be no solution.

  • Question for Beta 3.0 users ( more home screens???)

    Is apple giving us more than r 9 home screen that we have now except for the new spotlight screen. I sure hope so.

    Yes but with the new spotlight homepage that doesn't look like that will be a big problem anymore finding your app. and running them. I just hate that i only have a 8 gig iphone and it is not even full because i have to delete a app to add more app's why give you the option of even putting bookmarks on the homescreen when you need the room for app's because you don't have enough pages. Apple wants you to buy app's and try out demo's but doesn't give you enough pages. Why give you a larger iphone? There is no shuffle for app's or smart playlist like music so it is alittle harder when you have lots of app's you are tryin out.

  • 6 home screen options or 7?  I have a question

    Ok so I was interested in checking out a different launcher.  So I downloaded the free version of launcher pro.  Checked it out and decided not to keep it at this time.  So I uninstalled the Launcher pro and went back to the TwLauncher.  Well tell me if I am wrong but prior to my curiosity, I thought I had 7 possible screens to move around on and now somehow I only have 6?  Not a big deal but now I am wondering why or at least how to I get my seventh screen back?  Has anyone ever experienced this sort of thing before?

    you can add and remove home screens
    at any home screen go to menu>edit page

  • Quick Question about home screen icons?

    I just upgraded from the 3g to the iphone 4 and was wondering if there are supposed to be home screen icons for Voice Control and FaceTime?

    There are no icons. In Settings > Phone you can activate or deactivate FaceTime: Turn FaceTime on or off.
    To activate Voice Control, press and hold the home button.
    The iPhone iOS4 User Guide can help a lot.

  • Customizing the Home Screen Status Bar

    I know right now that the ability to customize the home screen is more or less limited to the arrangement of the icons, right?
    What I want is the ability to place a 'new mail' or 'new sms' icon at the top of the home screen, along the status bar where the time and signal strength are currently displayed.
    That way I can see at a glance if I have new messages, even when the phone is locked, by hitting the unlock button at the top of the phone.
    Luckily the SMS preview gives me that status, but I still need to manually unlock the phone with the passcode before I can see if I have any new email. I don't use an audible alert for incoming email.
    I'd also prefer the option to have new sms messages neither display a preview nor even display a name on the home screen.
    In short, I want more control over the behavior and display of the home screen. I've seen some rumblings that the Apple SDK disallows interaction with the home screen. If so, iPhone users are completely at the whim of Apple to include new home screen functionality.
    I'm not happy with that arrangement.
    Coming from the Windows Mobile word, I'm finding Apple to be a very closed system. I knew ahead of time that there would be some diminished flexibility, but I didn't expect this much of a drop.

    Apparently you do not have a question, but it seems that you have some feedback for Apple. As this is a users forum, populated by iphone users -not Apple, perhaps you need the address for feedback that Apple does receive:

  • Can't access any photos, Camera Roll sends me to home screen?

    Yesterday I took over 100 photos on my phone for work.  After returning to the office and attempting to sync them to the cloud the process froze and never completed.
    Afterward I am unable to view any of the photos in the Camera Roll.  Each time I click on Camera Roll it sends me back to the home screen.  If I take another picture it sends me back to the homescreen after the photo is taken.  Plugging the phone into the computer does not allow me to access the photos either, it doesnt show them as being available and I cannot transfer them to my computer in any way.
    Any suggestions?

    After posting my question I found a topic with the exact same problem, unfortunately the solution was to restore the phone...this is not the solution I was hoping for as I cannot lose all the photos I've taken.  Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  For reference I've included the other link below.

  • My home screen is gigantic. As a result I cannot see the keypad for entering in my passcode. Somehow, everything on my home screen has expanded to gigantic size. I've tried to reset the phone by holding the home button and the on off button...

    My home screen is gigantic… So much so that 1/200 of the normal screen display now fills up the entire screen. As a result, I cannot even see my keypad to enter in my passcode. I've tried a hard reset a few times (holding the home button and the on off button at the same time until the iPhone restarts). This has not resulted in any changes. Any ideas?

    Thank you Lawrence. that worked! I have another question for you as well. I just got this 6 Plus and it is already saying that I am nearing the end of my storage. My  iCloud is apparently 20gb and I have 6gb left. I'm attaching a screen shot. Any thoughts on how I can make available some more storage?
    I Also wanted to get an enhanced quality Speech voice Alex, but it is saying I don't have enough Memory (I think it says memory because I can't read the message fully). Lastly, in your opinion does Grayscale really improve battery life above and beyond what can be achieved by closing out all apps etc. Thank you.

  • Hello all.   Hope someone can help me. I recently downloaded some  updates for my imac.  Since doing this the computer starts up but I get no logon box.  The home screen opens but I can't open any programs or files. I've tried rebooting, no joy. Help!!

    Hello all..   I hope someone here can help.  I recently downloaded some updates to my imac.  Since then the computer starts but I get the home screen opening without the logon box.    I can't open any programs or files and if I click on the Safari tab it disappears from the dock.  I've tried rebooting with no joy.
    I contacted technical help at Apple and was told to hold down the ctrl and alt keys with two other keys, I think the S or P keys when powering up. This worked
    and the computer seemed fine but now the problem has reappeared.  Is there a way to removed downloaded updates from the computer or revert it to an earlier state?   Sorry for the long question. Hopefully one of you clever people can help.   Simon

    I have a hard drive icon on my desktop that says 10.6.2....
    I use to have iphoto, it doesnt open anymore, it says there is 1.2gigs on that disk.There are many things on here that are the same way. Where do I start?
    It's always good to go with one thing at a time and stay focused on that. Let's start with the OS you're running. Click on the Apple menu > About This Mac. What does it say under Mac OS X version ?
