IPad home screen icons stuck in top left

Ok so I was playing angry birds then I quit and went to the main part of the home screen. But when I got there all of the preinstalled apps were in the top left. Intrestingly, they all worked fine, but I could position them anywhere (out of the usual restricted grid). The original icons in their original places were there, but I couldn't click on them. Although it is pretty awesome, the main home screen is pretty messy and I would like to know if there is any fix to it, since it isn't going by switching on and off etc.. Thanks for any answers in advance.

  • Icon Stuck in Top Left Corner of Screen

    I have an icon of some sorts stuck in the top left hand corner of my screen. It's not really an icon, it's a tiny box and it was a box with a folder icon inside and when I would click on the folder it would show me the contents. Than I deleted the folder and now it's just a question mark inside a box and when I click it it says empty. I try to move/delete it but I can't. It's like stuck there. It's just a tiny square with a question mark inside. It's not part of the desktop though because when I swipe down with all four fingers on the trackpad to do Expose, it shows up as a program that's running but I can't get it off my screen. I tried restarting and shuttting down my computer but still nothing!

    Press Command-Option-Esc and see what it's called in the window that pops open, you can Force Quit it from there but it also sounds like it's in your StartUp/Login items and should be removed from there too ? (System Preferences/Accounts - yourname Login items)

  • I just downloaded Firefox 4 but there is no "connection scale" on the right hand bottom of the screen and no icons on the top left of the screen like a "home" for home page etc. top

    On the old Firefox 3.0 I had a 'connection scale" on the bottom right hand corner (just above the time) which shows you the extent of connection. I also had icons on the top left hand corner of a 'home' for home page...etc. On Firefox.4.0 these are missing. Can they be obtained by the "settings"?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "connection scale". If you are referring to the padlock, this has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
    The Home button by default has been moved to the right hand side of the navigation toolbar, you can move it back. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars
    If any buttons are missing, you can restore them as shown here - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Back+and+forward+or+other+toolbar+items+are+missing

    hi

    Since about 2 weeks ago for no apparent reason, the internet on my iPad suddenly stopped working (when I open Safari, it says: "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the Internet"), even though the Wifi icon in the top left corner still shows full signal. However, I noticed when I went into Wifi settings (Settings>Wifi) that there is no checkmark next to my network name (only the spinning circle icon, as if it's trying to process something). This only happens at home (I can browse the internet while connected to  Wifi at university). My other Apple devices (MacBook Pro and iPhone 4S) work perfectly fine at home.
    I've tried resetting my router, restarting my iPad, resetting Network Settings on my iPad, and tried following Hynes' instructions on this thread:https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2453187?start=15&tstart=0, but nothing has worked so far (although I have to admit that I found the instructions on that thread somewhat confusing, so there is a chance that I accidentally did not follow them properly).
    Could someone please help? It'd be VERY much appreciated.

    have a problem with my MacBook Pro.5,3 and monitor.  Intermittently, the desk top screen becomes broken up into vertical sections, which appear in the wrong order, creating a haphazard picture.
    The Apple icon, usually at top left corner, appears in top right corner  in a strip including all that left hand.  When the computer is restarted, the screen goes back to normal.  But I have to move the mouse to the far left of the screen and then up until it reappears on the far right hand side of the screen so that I can hit shut down button.
    It seems to happen randomly though always on desk top and sometimes when I move mouse and computer switches on from rest mode.   My large flat screen is relatively new.
    The video card on this computer, which is approximately two years old, is Nvidia FeForce 9400M.
    Any help would be welcome as my usual source of assistance is not available and I am not well versed in workings of the Mac although I have used one for many years.

    That sounds like a Hardware problem.
    You may be able to confirm that with Apple Hardware Test, or make an appointmenst for a free Genius Bar evaluation.

  • My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air, My home screen icons get misaligned when i switch apps by double tapping the home button. Using iPad Air

    My home screen icon get misligned when I switch between apps. also subway surfer behave strangley as in there is a graphical glitch

    I have no idea what Subway Surfer should look like so I wouldn't know if there was a graphical glitch in your screenshot or not, but I assume that the brown figure on the left side should, have real definition in the features and details in the clothing rather than just look like a smeary brown blob. That's just a guess on my part.
    I understand that you paid good money for the device and that it should not be doing what you are experiencing. I would start with the basic troubleshooting steps - moving all the way up to a complete restore of the iOS - and if they don't work, then you will have to contact Apple if you want resolution to the problem. They must have an authorized repair facility that you could send the device to if needed.
    Restart, reset, restore.

  • Home screen icons darkening

    Has anyone seen there home screen icons darkening slightly? As if they were being pushed?
    Sometimes my calendar and phone icons do it.

    Curious, I actually noticed that my phone icon was 'darkened' as if it had been pushed. When I did touch it the app immediately loaded and when I clicked back to home the icon was normal again. When I first saw it I thought maybe the backlight in the bottom corner was off/out but it was definitely stuck in the 'touched' (??) state.
    So.. you're not alone.

  • How to remove items from iPad home screen?

    How to remove items from iPad home screen?

    Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • My home screen is stuck on activation required

  • Mouse frozen - stuck in top left corner

    Mouse is stuck in top left corner of log in screen.
    Will not move.
    Have restarted repeatedly and also done a safe mode restart.
    Any ideas or has the trackpad simply died?

    I didn't even suggest that because I would have thought that would be the first thing anyone would have checked for!   If you flip the on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse do you have a blinking green light?  Whether you do or don't, if you are unsure of the batteries then replace them.

  • TS1398 My ipad says NO SIM in the top left corner

    My ipad says NO SIM in the top left corner instead of ATT like it used to. 

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Custom Home Screen Icons

    I was wondering how difficult it was to create Home Screen icons for sites (like Apple and Yahoo! have).
    I am a web designer and graphic artist but I'm not an "app developer." It seems it would just be a matter of creating a square graphic and somehow coding it to download when the "Add to Home Screen" is clicked.
    Is this out of my league? Has anyone here made any?

    In case anyone else is interested, you just need to create a 57x57 pixel graphic file, saved in PNG format, and named apple-touch-icon.png to place in the root directory of your web site. The iPhone will round the corners and add the glossy-looking overlay to the icon.
    If you don't have access to the site's root directory, you can add a link to the file in the head of your HTML page... for example: *<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/apple-touch-icon.png" />*
    Keep in mind, they look best when kept simple.

  • I have iphoto11 but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

    I am using  iphoto11 in OS lion but do not have the full screen icon at the bottom left hand corner of the screen. where is it?

    Shift - command - f  is the short cut to go to full screen - esc will return from Full screen to normal
    as far as to where the commands are - I am (and everyone her is) a user just like yourself - we can (sometimes) help with how to use iPhoto - we can not explain why Apple makes decisions nor can we make or affect any changes

  • IOs Home Screen icons in Muse

    Hi,
    I was just wondering how you would export a Muse site with a built in iOs Home Screen icon, enabling those viewing a web page to bookmark a site with custome icon?  

    Perhaps this is something that could be added for a future release. It is not a complicated feature to add with some simple CSS but if most of us could do that we wouldnt be paying to use Muse. this could very easily be added to the favicon options under "page properties".     
    Also considering somewhere north of 70% of all mobile web traffic is iOS based Muse should make some consideration to optimize itself to effectivley display and function within the iOS ecosystem. Adobe and Apple may not have the friendliest of track records but those of us looking to turn a profit need it, and Adobe makes a profit off of us so.......think about it?
