How can I preserve my application icon groupings when upgrading to iOS5?

I have over 200 applications and I have arranges them nicely into groups that I created. The groups/categories now fit on two screens (as opposed to a dozen screens). That way I can get to my app with fewer clicks.
When I upgraded my phone to iOS5 I lost all that work, as the upgrade flattened all my icons to a dozen of screens. It was painful to recreate this :-)
I have same thing on my iPAD2, which I am ready to upgrade to iOS5.
Wondering if someone know how to do this so that I don't end up in the same situation.

Backing up the iPad will preserve your groupings. Making sure that the iPad restores to your backup should make sure that the groupings remain, mine did.

    Every time I restart my mac air some applications like calendar and Microsoft word automatically starts, how can I stop such applications from starting when ever I restart my mac?

    One thing to check:  when shutting down or restarting, there is a checkbox in the shutdown/restart dialog which asks whether you want currently open applications to open at startup.

  • How can I add the applications icon/folder to my dock?

    I just migrated everything from my G5 and would like to add the applications icon that automatically expands to my dock.
    Thanks

    Open a Finder window and click on the Macintosh HD on the left under Devices. One of the folders showing will be the applications folder; drag it onto the dock to the right of the System Preferences icon (individual apps can go to the left, but folders need to be to the right).
    Hope that helps.
    P.S. Don't forget to update your equipment settings/signature.

  • How Can I Remove An Application Icon From My Desktop?

    Every time I open Google Earth or Firefox, I little icon pops up on my desktop as a "disk". To make it go away I have to eject it. Surely there has to be a way to open a program and not have this happen. I'm sure it's an easy fix, but I'm still fairly new to this. Thanks to anyone who can tell me what to do!

    OK...I just figured out!
    When I dragged the icon down to my dock, I actually used the one from the volume instead of the one from my applications folder. Therefore it always wanted to open the .dmg file instead of the actual program. I THINK I said that all correctly! Thanks for the help though, you gave me the idea to try something different than I was and I found the solution.

  • How can I remove an application icon from the loc. bar and prevent it from auto loading?

    I don't know the "lingo" of how-to's with Firefox; but I subscribed to www.catalogchoice.org. Somehow, the icon appears to the right of my print icon in the location bar and automatically pops-up when I go to any website. I can't find how to remove it from the toolbar and remove it from Firefox. I cancelled my subscription with them but continue to have this annoyance.

  • Why do the fonts I use in emails, regardless of email application, all change to Tmes New Roman after I have sent them? How can I preserve the font I used when I wrote the emails? Thanks

    My font preference in Content is set to Arial font.

    Try resetting NVRAM.
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the third time.
    Release the keys.

  • How can I preserve word internal document hyperlinks when importing into indd cs6

    I have a document that is hundreds of pages long. The document was created in word by another user and has many internal document hyperlinks. Is it possible to preserve the hyperlinks, so that they show up and work in indd CS6? The document will then be exported as an interactive pdf and the links need to work there as well.
    The final product is the interactive pdf. I am just using indd to add a simple background to the content created in word. If there is any other way to preserve the hyperlinks, perhaps, by somehow adding the background in acrobat pro and excluding even taking the document into indd, please let me know.
    Mahalo!

    Thanks Lori for the reply.
    Unfortunately. my Epson 3170 Photo does not come with scan-to-fax software.
    I ended up creating a word doc and inserting the scans into it - on scan per page.
    Thanks for the suggestion though. It is greatly appreciated.

  • How to keep the Unlimited verizon data plan when upgrading to iphone 4s?

    How can I keep my unlimited data plan when upgrading to a IPHONE 4s???
    I tried everything!!! I have an apple giftcard so I want to use it through apple.com but It wont let me keep my unlimited data plan

    The terms of your data/phone plan are solely determined by your carrier, in this case Verizon.  It is up to them if they wish to allow consumers to carry over the existing terms of their plan.  Hence, the thing you need to do is contact Verizon customer service and ask them to carry your terms over with your upgrade.  I'm hoping if you ask nicely they may do it.
    Hope this helps

  • How do I delete Ipad Application Icons

    How do I delete Ipad Application Icons ? I tried to load a few and they didn't load and now I am left with icons that have "Waiting" underneath and nothing is happening
    I have tried the hold and wiggle but they wiggle without the X so I can't delete that way
    Please help ?

    Restarting worked for me. Just hold down the sleep button until the red slider appears. Slide to power off. To turn it back on, it has to be plugged in to the wall or a computer.

    How can I restore the imessage icon that I deleted?

    It's doubtful that you deleted it, possible, but likely just hid it or moved it into a folder.
    1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
    2. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, et
    If you still don't see it, look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?

  • How can I delate waiting  application

    How can I delate waiting application  I try all trics

    Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.
    To uninstall and application from your iPad, simply locate the icon for the app and press it until the icon starts wiggling. Remove your finger and you will notice that an “x” has now appeared in the upper left corner of all of your application icons.
    Tap the “x” and you will then be asked to confirm that you wish to delete the app. Tap Delete to uninstall.
    When you are finished removing the apps you no longer want, simply press the Home button on the bottom of your iPad and the icons will stop wiggling and you’re good to go.

  • I have installed Adobe packages and cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?

    I have installed Adobe Creative Cloud for teams CC Packages which says that Acrobat XI Pro is installed. Your support page says it does not install Acrobat and I have to look in the Extensions folder for an MSI file.  I have run a number of searches and  cannot find the Acrobat extension folder please advise how can I get these applications to load onto my computer?
    Also I now administer the teams and have accepted the invitation to I received to be a team member and download the apps.  The admin page shows that I have been sent an invitation but does not show my account as "ACtive" unlike my other team members.  I tried to use the link in the invite to accept it become active but the link displayed an error saying I had already accepted the invite... why is no account not active?
    Finally what other product downloads in Creative Cloud do not actually download as part of the Creative cloud Packager for downloading the apps? e.g. acrobat and what else?

    My apologies Eadeszoo I believe our support agents are unavailable on January 1.
    Are you able to copy the contents of the DVD to your computer?  Are you receiving any particular error messages when you are trying to install?  Finally which operating system are you using?
