How do I hide apps on the desktop iPad?

I don,t want some built in apps on the desktop.  How do I hide them?

If you press and hold one of the icons on your homescreen, then after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. You can then delete apps via the 'x' in their top left corners (though you can't delete the built-in Apple apps), or drag them around the screen so as to re-arrange theie order. If you drag one and hold it over another then a folder should get created with those two apps in - you can then drag more apps, up to 20, into each folder. Press the home button when you've finished deleting/rearranging so as to stop the shaking. You can also do it when connected to your computer's iTunes via the device's Apps tab (which some people find easier to do).
There is a bit more info about doing it directly on the iPad in the manual whch, if you havn't got a copy, can be downloaded from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad

  • How to delete an app off the desktop, without removing it from the dock

    Yep. I thought you would just drag it to the trash (like Windows) But when I do that, it deletes the whole Application.

    Hello there ...
    When you move files or apps from the desktop to the trash that is what you are doing, trashing them. If you want to keep the application (and keep it's shortcut in the dock, 'cause that what the dock is ... Shortcuts ...), then move the application either into /Applications or your user folder, then the dock shortcut will remain and the app will still work, but just not be on the desktop ...
    Hope that makes sense and helps ...

    I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
    Any suggestions?  App downloads that can do this?  Please let me know.

    You can't do it.  This has been an issue since Lion.

  • How can i hide or lock the apps on ipad

    How can i hide or lock the apps on ipad, i don't want anyone to see some apps when my ipad was used. Without Jailbreak.

    It depends what you mean by 'lock' if you mean keep the iPad on a specific app that's easy to do as long as you are updated to iOS 6 which from your device information I can see your iPad is updated to iOS 6.0.2. All's you have to do is go to Settings > General > Accessability > Guided Access > ON > Set Passcode (Set a passcode to lock an app onto the screen). Go back to the home screen and click the app you would like to lock onto. Press the home button three times quickly. You can then highlight certain parts of the app you would not like them to be able to press, disable touching or motion if thats what you need. Press start. To exit the locked app triple press the home button again and type in the passcode you set earlier. Press end in the top left corner. I hope this helped you but if by 'lock' you meant don't allow on the app this is not possible as of yet with the iOS software although some apps do allow you to lock them with a passcode or you could try restrictions in the settings menu but this only works with built in apps such as; camera, facetime, safari, downloading apps, siri etc.

  • Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?

    Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?

    You connect the iPad to the computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes to put them on the Mac's internal drive. They can't actually be run on a Mac.

  • Is there a way to hide apps from the app store? I don't want my kids to see those "free" apps that nag you to spend real money and download their other apps! I can hide them from "purchased apps", but they still show up when browsing for new apps!

    Is there a way to hide them so that my kids will never see them when looking for new apps?

    Not other than parental oversight. On the computer you can implement Parental Controls on a separate user account that they would use. You can then block certain websites. But you cannot do that on the iPad.
    You could change your iTunes account such that they cannot access it in order to buy or download apps.

    How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

    By updating the iOS on the iPOd.  The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3.  That works with a lot of apps.  But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

    How do I install apps without the  app store

    This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

    How do I purchase apps from the app store using coupons?

    Coupons as in iTunes Store Gift Cards? If you go to the iTunes store tab, there should be an option to "Redeem" in the Quick Links section on the right side of the home screen. Enter the code there to redeem the credit, and then download whatever you wish from the store.

    You cannot.
    The entire point of this is that you can redownload any and all of your past purchases.

  • HT4623 how do i close apps on the new ios 7

    how do i close apps on the new ios 7

    To close out apps, simply double click the home button and instead of holding down the app icons and clicking on the X mark in older versions, you have to swipe the app window up and away.
    Also you can save on battery by turning of background app refresh from settings, as explained in this article .... http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-close-apps-in-ios-7-and-save-on-battery/

    Hi kelori617,
    If you are having issues organizing the Apps on your iPhone via iTunes, you may want to double-check the steps in the following article and make sure you are syncing any changes to your device:
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Sync and organize iOS apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Sync and organize iOS apps
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12315
    If all of the steps are correct and the changes still aren't being retained when you restart your iPhone, you may want to make sure your data is backed up, then try restoring your iPhone to factory settings, restore your data from the backup, then test to see if you can organize your apps via iTunes:

  • HT202159 Problem with Update on   It started, then the screen went white and the icons for the apps on the desktop were all blackened, 'waiting'.  What now?

    It showed a number of apps to be updated on my iPad, so I clicked 'update all' as usual.  It started, then the screen went white.  The icons for the apps on the desktop went black, as they do, with the first one half way around the little circle timer, and two marked 'waiting', with others not that far into the process.  They all stopped.  Now I can't stop the update process in the App Store, or use any of the apps.  What do I do next?  Help, please!

    Hello there, Rev Susi.
    From what I can gather you have a few apps that only display "Waiting". The following is a past discussion that dealt with a similar issue, the answer may help you as well:
    App updates won't download on my...: Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4111336
    Try tapping the App, so that it changes to Paused instead of Waiting, then tap it again to resume the install.
    Make sure you don't have any paused downloads in other apps either, like the App Store or iTunes Store.
    If that doesn't do it, try resetting or restoring the iPhone.
