How do I move or delete App icons from my screen?

I'm tryng to eliminate most of the icons on my phone screen.  On my 4, I used to be able to do it by holding my finger on the icon and either editing or just moving.  But I can't move anything to page 2 of my screen and page 1 is full.  HELP

Press on and hold any one app on the home screen(where it shows all your apps), they'll go into a "wiggle mode", you can then use the x's in the left top corner of the icons to uninstall the apps or drag them around to rearrange them. Also dragging an app icon on top of another one and holding it there for a second will create a "folder" or group, which will allow you to organize apps better. You can also put groups in the dock on the bottom.

    How do I delete an icon from the home page screen on an iPad 2 ?

    Touch and hold any app icon on that page until all the icons start to wiggle. Then tap the X by the icon/app you want to delete. Press the Home button one to restore normal operation. You can't delete the native apps/folders that came with the iPad such as Maps or Gam Center.

  • Missing App icon from iphone screen

    I am missing an app icon on my iphone screen. how can i get it back? it says that the app is already downloaded, but the icon is gone.

    On your iPhone go to the search page (slide the home page to the right) and search for the app's name. Note that the name you're searching for should be the name under the icon - official app names are often a longer version. If the search finds it, it's somewhere on the hone, possibly inside a folder.
    If the search does not find it, it's not marked for sync with this iPhone. Check the selection box in iTunes and re-sync. Note, however, that if the app is not compatible with your particular phone, it will not be synced.

  • I am unable to move app icons from one screen to the next, after 2.1

    Can any one verify this?
    I have restarted the phone, just in case and the behavior continues.
    While on the subject, it would be nice if Apple could supply a MAC interface for rearranging the iPhone screens as it is not much fun on the phone itself.

    Figured it out last night. it does work but you now have to kind of over along the boder before it jusmps over. I am pretty sure that before it sufficed to push the icon to the border in order to move it over.
    I guess this new way is better as you really need to want to move it in order to switch screens.

  • How do I move an app icon from one page to another?

    I would like to organize my Ipad2 but can figure out how to move the app icon from one page to another.

    Tap and hold down on an app icon until it wiggles. Then hold down on the icon and drag it about halfway over to the next screen and just hold it there for a second or two and the app will jump to the next page. Do it slowly and just hold the app on the edge of the screen. Don't try to drag it over quickly. It takes a little practice.
    Tap the home button when you are done and the apps will stop wiggling.

    How do I move icons from one screen to another. 

    Hold down on one icon until they start shaking, then drag the icon to the edge of the screen, and the screen should slide to the next one, you can then drop it on that screen or drag it again to the edge to move to the next screen.

    Using gmail on my iPad 2:  How do I move the trash can icon up to the bar at the top of my gmail?

    You can't with the default Mail app.  Try using the Gmail app... much easier to use and the Trash is easily accessible, even with lots of labels.

  • How do I delete dashlane icon from Mavericks toolbar

    How do I delete dashlane icon from Mavericks toolbar?  This app is redundant and not necessary in Mavericks.  I have uninstalled but I cannot drag the icon off the toolbar.

    I am sorry CT, it is the menu bar and on the right side at the top...
    Below is one of the suggestion I have found, but it doesn't work.
      OS X Mavericks: What’s in the menu bar?
    The right end of the menu bar contains “status menus,” which are represented by icons.
    These menus show the status of your Mac or give you quick access to certain features—for example, you can quickly turn on Wi-Fi, turn off Bluetooth, or mute your computer’s volume.
    You can add some icons to the right end of the menu bar. For example, you can show a volume slider in the menu bar by selecting a checkbox in the Sound pane of System Preferences. You can also add a status icon for some apps to the menu bar when you install the app.
    To rearrange the status menu icons, hold down the Command (⌘) key while dragging the icons. To remove an icon from the menu bar, hold down the Command key and drag the icon out of the menu bar.

  • How do I delete an Icon from my desk top from Print Shop? It has the name rTmpFile4.

    How do I delete an Icon from my desktop from Print Shop? It has the name: rTempFile4.

    Open iTunes on your iMac.
    In the lefthand column of the iTunes window that opens, under Library, click on Apps.  A window will open that will show all the Apps you've downloaded.  If you downloaded the App via the iPad, you will have needed to sync the iPad and the iMac previously for the App to be listed. (I think)
    Click on the App you want to delete, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.  A window will open asking you to confirm that you want to delete the app.  Click the confirm button.
    Good luck.

  • How can i move my purchased app from apple id in russia to ukrainean app store when i change country

    I had my apple id in Russia and had a lot of purchased apps there. Recently i had to change a country of my apple id to Ukraine. So i have a question how can i move my purchased apps to apple id in Ukraine?

    You have been mislead. Other users report that what you have been told by the Hack is not true. The apps will appear to have disappeared, but if you try to update an app at first the MAS will appear to be selling you the app, but if you continue, as if to buy the app, the MAS will realize that you previously purchased the app and download it for free. You can test this for yourself using a free or inexpensive app.

  • How do I move an entire app to a dual monitor? Not just a window?

    How do I move an entire app to a dual monitor? Not just a window? I can drag single windows, but if I move a window to the second monitor and hit a button, like 'New', that opens a new window, then it opens the window in the first monitor. I want it to open in the second monitor instead.

    Right. Mail remembers as well. I have the menubar set on my larger display, and the main Mail window on the MBP display. When I create a new message, it displays the composition window on whichever display I used the last time for composition. So after the first time I moved the composition window to the larger display, it always opens on that display. I can't remember if it remembers that behavior after taking the MBP on the road, where I use only its display, and then reconnect the second display back at home.
