How do I backup home screen shortcuts

I have a lot of home screen web shortcuts in IOS 7 and I want to back them up so that when I restore to a new device, I have all my collected shortcuts. How can I do this?

According to this support article, an iCloud backup should back up your Settings and your Home Screen and App organization. I do not have web shortcuts on my Home Screen so cannot absolutely guarantee that they would be restored via a backup, but the article implies that it will:

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

How to set the Home screen blank in Iphone.

I use iTunes to arrange icons in my Iphone Screen, i arranged it with 4 screens , ist blank, 2nd to 4th with some apps icon. When i sync , the blank home screen is occupied by 2nd and 3rd by 4th and 4th is set as 3rd. So how can i set by Home screen blank with only default Iphone apps at bottom.

The only way to do that is to have a "blank" home screen icon on your first screen. Here's a site that has one already made for you:

How to setup the Home Screen Application

Hi,
I'm using Nokia 5630 XpressMusic.
When I goto Menu->Settings->Settings->General->Personalisation->Standby Mode->Home Screen Application, there is a list of application available for selection(Mark/UnMark) as below:
O Shortcut bar
O Calendar
O WLAN
O Contacts on OVI
O Contacts bar
I will be able to check the applications that I wish to appear on the Home Screen. My question is how to setup a list of application available for selection. For example,
O Shortcut bar
O Messaging
O WLAN
O Calculator
O Web
Pls advise!
Regards,
Toyogo

Hi,
to switch on and off the mode go to menu- settings- main display -active standby - active standby mode - on or off.
Sorry, I cannot get the option path you mentioned. I'm using Nokia 5630 model which is based on S60 3rd Edition software. When I goto main menu->settings: there are 4 options: "General", "Phone", "Connection" and "Applications"; I goto "General", there are "Personalization", "Date and time", "Enhancement", "Security", "Factory settings", "Positioning". I goto "Personalization", there are "Display", "Standby mode", "Tone", "Themes", "Language","Voice commands". I goto "Personalization", there are "Home screen applicaitons", "Shortcuts", "Standby theme", "Notifica.light", "Email notification". I cannot find the option that allow me to change the list of applicaitons on "Home screen applications".
Pls indicate which option path that I should use.
Regards,
Toyogo.

Problem with home screen shortcuts

this has ocurred several times. I am in the messaging application, click to update mailbox and while it is trying to update the email application crashes and closes completely. I am returned to the home screen but now the shortcut I had for my email account inbox is gone, replaced by a shortcut to the music store. I had to manually fix this several times but then I discovered that just leaving it after a while the correct icon would reappear.

The advice above may well be correct (depending on the phone you are using which you didn't mention )However if you follow it, I would advise backing up Contacts, Calendar and Notes ONLY, as if you backup your settings and restore them it could re-install the problem ! Also somewhat easier to dial *#7370# followed by 12345, but the choice is yours and it will take a while to set up your phone again (assuming you have an S60v5 phone, 5800, N97, X6 etc)
Good Luck

How to get torch home screen to just show no apps when menu bar is closed?

Please bear with me, I'm struggling with how to explain this ha ha!
On the torch homescreen, you touch the 'all' bar at the bottom to display the full menu. When you touch the bar again it closes the menu of apps.
When I first got the torch the menu, when closed, displayed just one row of 4 apps (SMS, browser etc) But I must've pressed something unknowingly or changed a setting so it showed no apps at all when i closed the menu. I preferred this as I like the home screen to just show the background on the phone and not look cluttered.
However it changed back recently and is now showing TWO rows of apps now not even just one! and can't for the life of me figure out how to change it back??
Thanks to anyone who helps!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Just touch and drag down to the bottom of the screen. You'll then see just the arrow ^ (You can adjust that way for 0 to 3 rows of icons.) Then, when you tap the bar with the arrow, you'll get your full screen of icons back.

Can you backup home screen buttons?

You know when your in Safari, you can put the website into your homescreen bookmark? Does iTunes backup these things? Meaning if I sync my iPhone and then restore it; will they be able to get my placement of custom icons / bookmarks on my home screen?

It is a small possibility that it "Might" But I have no conclusive answer at this time. If this was possible. If you ever did a Restore. You would eventually want to choose the option "Restore from backup" This "Might" allow you to restore even the layout of the home screen to the way you had it. Assuming the backup was the latest backup at the time.
Refer to Kbase http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 for more information on Restoring.

Home screen shortcut buttons

can you change the home screen buttons on the bottom? It has phone, contacts, messaging, and apps? also, can you change the search default provider?

If the buttons are setup like most devices you can drag any shortcut to replace a icon on launcher but the app button for the start menu..
As for the defailt search provider, you can install other ones like google but you wont be able to change the default search engine... But you can place google widget on a home page and clock it to search and it should search Google instead of Bing..

How do I fix home screen not showing apps?

I recently got an iPhone 5c. I wanted to restore it with a backup. After that when I opened my phone all the apps disappeared and the home screen was blank. I scrolled through the pages but nothing was there! Help me!

Umm,
They were things that I have used during the time I have had the issue myself.
It seems to have improved things on some services (namely AIM) but have left the issue the same with my Bonjour connection to my Snow Leopard Mac.
On mine the File Transfer window reports it Failed (See Window Menu).
On other accounts sometimes the Chat shows an icon and it will open in Preview rather than displaying In-line.
It is not something that I do that often and is not something I have spent a great amount of time on.
You could try this:-
In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and type (or Copy from here) ~/Library/Preferences into the dialogue box that appears.
Once in the Preferences folder find the com.apple.ichat.plist file
Depending on the service the picture is coming on you can delete (Drag to Trash) the Preferences (.plist file) for that service (com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist or com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist for instance).
There is a Yahoo one and a Subnet one for the Bonjour Account.
Restart the app each time.
If that does not work try deleting the com.apple.ichat.plist itself.
DO NOT delete them together as this will cause the app to have to be reset with the basic account info.
If it is the iMessages account that is effected try deleting com.apple.imessages.bag.plist as this one is the contact with the server as are the ones above.
Again restart the app.

How do i move Home Screen Icons to another Screen

Hi All i have just upgraded to iOS7 it all went very smoothly except it messed up the positioning of the icons on all my 4 Home Screens !.
The main screen is less one icon, the second one has 7 icons, the third one has 3, the forth screen has 2
I should be able to move them by getting the icons wobbling and the dragging them from one screen to another, but sadly this doesnt seem to work, i can only "hold" the center of an icon, if i could hold them by the edge i could do it successfully, but this impossible.
I really thought i could do it in iTunes, but, this only enables moving complete Home screens !
Any ideas please ?.
Tim

Solved it, i percevered with the dragging to the edge and eventually got there.

How to default to Home screen?

Is there a way to set my iPhone so that it defaults to the "Home" screen whenever I turn it on?
From what I can tell...after it's gone into Auto-Lock...it always returns to the last screen used when I turn it back on and hit the slider. I then have to hit the "Home" button to get back to Home screen. I'd like it to go "Home" automatically.
Thanks!

it will open on the last thing you had open.
No way to change that!

How do i transfer a apple home screen to a kindle fire HDX?

Ok so I have always loved the Apple home screen layout but instead of getting me a apple device for my birthday I got a kindle fire HDX. How do I transfer home screens? PLEASE I know for sure there is a way to do it.

That does not make sense. Home Screens are part of the software. The Kindle Fire has its own homescreen designed by its developers the way it is.
Also what does this have to do with remote desktop?
Apple Remote desktop lets you access an Apple computer remotely from another Apple computer.
Even if it was possible to somehow emulate an Apple Desktop on a kindle fire, that would be a question to ask in the Kindle fire forums not here.
