I cannot move icons to the home screen

Pardon me if this is old, but I cannot find it here via search.  I'm new to iPhone, having had Windows phones, Palm, and others in the past.  Just picked this up today.  Slick.  It even makes AT&T look better.  Here's my question.
I understand tap and hold to make the icons jiggle, then drag.  Only problem is, I can move them to the right but not to the left--to the home screen.  For example, I moved one of the default home screen icons to the second screen, leaving a hole.  Now I'm trying to move an icon from the second screen into the hole I created.  I can drag to the right and create a new screen, but it will not break through to the left onto the home screen.
Any clues as to what I might be doing wrong?  Thanks.
Bill

OK.  My bad.  I searched again and found it.  Drag to the edge and hold it there for a couple seconds, and then it moves.  Please excuse the ring.
Bill

    How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    The only new icons you can add to your home screen are webclips, which can be added by using the "+" button in safari on the desired web page.
    You won't be able to add new apps until February when the SDK is fully seeded to developers.

  • How do you create Document Icons on the Home Screen?

    I have an iPad to use exclusively in the kitchen and would like to make my recipes appear as indivdual icons on the home screens with an associated picture.
    For example; Pumpkin Soup
    I would like to create an icon with a picture of pumpkin soup and the same as a title.
    When you tap the Pumpkin Soup icon a page appears with instructions and perhaps a picture or two.
    So my question is: What are my options for creating these stand-alone icons that bring up a page that describes a recipe/document.
    I understand that there are many 'recipe' apps avaliable, but none that I've encountered have the ability to save individual recipes as icons on the home screen.
    I dont care whether I use a recipe app or some other processing/publishing app to achieve this.
    I would very much like the recipe/document to appear on screen crisp and clear without program formatting around it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I'm aware of the Safari shortcut, but was hoping there was a document, etc shortcut.
    Thank you for your reply James Ward4

  • Is there an icon for face time on the iphone4s home screen? I remember I saw it before but not any more. I still have the FaceTime app,but would like to find the icon on the home screen again. Anyone can help?

    Is there an icon for face time on the iphone4s home screen? I remember I saw it before but not any more. I still have the FaceTime app,but would like to find the icon on the home screen again. Anyone can help?

    Check all of your folders to see if FaceTime is in any of them.
    If not, check your restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) and if restrictions are on, and you know the passcode, then FaceTime might be turned off. Turn ON to veiw icon on home screen.
    Let me know if this does/doesnt work.

    ...I have Theme L selected and I get 10 icons along the left side and bottom....
    ...I am thinking I may be limited to 10 icons....
    Gotcha... But actually its limited to 9 icons in the L theme as the Profiles icon is always present. From that screen hit the Menu key to display the bigger list of icons. Arange them so the first 9 icons are the ones you want to see on the L theme.

  • I have just downloaded ios7 and none of my app icons are showing on the home screen.   In the App Store they are showing as purchases.   How do I get them to show as icons on the home screen?

    I have just downloaded ios7 to my iphone4.   Now none of my apps are showing as icons on my home screen.    What should I do?    This didn't happen when I updated my iPad.

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.
    The following article(s) may help you.

  • Remove or add icons to the home screen

    I would really like to get rid of a couple of the pre-programmed icons on my home screen. I'm sure You-Tube paid hansomely to get their name in front of me every time I turn on my phone, but I have no use for it.
    How can I get rid of the icons that just bug me?

    This ability, I'm sure, will feature in a future Software Update.
    Email Apple's iPhone Feedback Service (http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html) and let them know about your wants. More emails, means more chance.

  • HT5858 I downloaded the ios 7 update, and now none of my apps are showing as shortcut icons on the home screen.

    I know the apps are all still on my phone because when I go to the app store and choose an app I have the "open" option instead of "install". Also when I double-tap the home screen I see all of the icons to scroll through at the bottom of the screen, I can tap on one and open it up with no problem, but how do I get the icons to show back up on the home screen?

    Sync with itunes or on your phone go to appstore - update - purchase - all or not on this phone and redownload the app.

  • Is it possible to rename app icons on the home screen?

    When I save an app or bookmark to the home screen, I invariably get the name wrong so that I want to rename it. But I can't find out how to. Is it possible to rename, or do I have to start all over again?
    Thanks

    Delete the bookmark and then re-save it, That's the only way that I have found.

  • No Icons on the home screen of Apple TV

    Hi
    I am new to Apple TV and bought a new 1080p Apple TV (model MD199E/A) with software version 5. But when i plugged it on instead of getting menus and icons (for youtube etc) i only have two icons on the main screen, computers and setup. The apple TV logo is on the upper half and the two icons below it. Please help in getting all the options on the main screen.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
    Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
    Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
    If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

  • HT4515 how to delete an icon on the home screen for iphone 4s

    How can I delete an icon on home screen?

    Hi kim,
    Press down on any icon and hold until they all begin to wiggle. If the icon you want gone has a little black "x" in the upper left-hand corner, you can click on that, and it will delete the app and the icon. If it does not have the "x", then it is a base app, and it cannot be deleted.
    However, it can be moved to the very last screen. Press on the icon and hold until they all start to wiggle, then with your finger still on the icon you want to move slide it to the right. It will continue to go from screen to screen until you reach the last one. If you want to drop it on any screen in between, then just let go when you want it to drop.
    Press the Home button once to stop the icons from wiggling.
    Cheers,
    GB
