IPhone 4 app icon won't drag to the left screen

I accidentally moved an icon over to a new screen on the right. When I try to move it back to the left, it won't move.

To add to Chris' comments, when you drag it to the side of the screen...
drag until about 1/2 of the icon is off screen
wait until the screen switches
position as desired on the new screen
press the home button

My iPhone 4s (bought today) won't get past the activation screen. It says 'it may take a few minutes to activate your iPhone' and then skips to another screen saying 'activation failed - try again'. Any solutions?

Apple's activation server is down.
I called Apple and the support team had the same issue.
All you can do is be patient.

Is there a way to view/delete apps that won't fit on the 11 screens?

I have more apps than fit on the 11 available screens - is there a way to view/delete apps that aren't on the 11 screens? I know I can launch them from the search facility, but that doesn't give me a comprehensive list or the ability to remove?

You can only remove them in iTunes on the computer.

Disk icon won't drag when trying to restore in disk utility

Hello
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but when trying to back up my (original) Macbook Pro onto an external hard drive (to create a bootable backup) the MBP disk icon won't drag into the Source of Disk Utility Restore....
Have booted from the MBP disk etc. Am running Tiger w/latest software update. Tried using a mouse rather than the touchpad, but no luck either...
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Disk Utility is not very prolix when it comes to error handling. Try this:
Start "Utilities -> Terminal App"
in terminal start:
"/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app/Contents/MacOS/Disk Utility"
the normal disk utility comes up. Try what you want to do - and check for error messages on the command line. maybe you can correct the problem.
-------------- IF THAT FAILS AND YOU WANT TO RESTORE IT BY HAND:
use the disk utility to
1. mount your target drive
- double click on the target drive - make sure it's mounted
2. get information about target drive
- click the PARTITION (not disk) you want to restore
- click INFO. Note the Disk Identifier e.g. disk0s2
3. mount your source image
- go to 'restore' of some drive. select image
- search for the image to restore
- image comes up in list on the left. double click it
close the disk utility.
open Terminal.
check with 'ls /Volumes/' which Volumes are mounted. Check which Volume is your SOURCE.
you can use 'asr' to restore your drive e.G.:
asr restore --source "/Volumes/Mac HD" --target /dev/disk0s2 --erase
PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU GIVE THE CORRECT SOURCE AND ESPECIALLY TARGET!
asr is the restore tool used by disk utility. Be sure to have a second backup of all your data. If you use it in the wrong way, you can delete all data (including the backup attached via USB).

Why Facebook app icon won't open?

I believe that i've had this problem before, either restart your iMac, or un-download the app and remove the app icon from your dashboard and then re-download it.

Try to Authorize your computer before syncing Apps. You'll find that option on the menu "Store".

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

Any idea when apps will be updated to utilize the new screen size on iphone 5?

Don't know what "the apps" are; they won't happen all at once. It will happen for an individual application when the developer chooses to make a new version available.

The icon Photos is the Photo library, and also where the photos from your camera roll are stored. That is a native iOS app and cannot be deleted.
The syncing of photos to your phone happens in iTunes. You can remove the photos that were synced by reversing the process. Connect the phone to iTunes, select the device in iTunes and go to the photo tab in iTunes. Remove the checkmark by the photo folders that have been synced and re-sync. That will remove the photos.

My wife received a new iPad Mini for Christmas-- when connected to iMac, icon appears in iPhoto sidebar; however, there appears to be no option to "unmount." Also, unlike my iPhone 4S whose icon appears in iTunes sidebar, the Mini does not. Any insights?

First open iTunes (version 11). Then connect the iPad. Now is it recognized?
If not .............

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but can't it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

I'm trying to reverb an audio clip in my timeline and I can't find the effect tab in the browser to drag to my audio clip to reverb. I can reverb the clip in the viewer but it won't drag to the timeline. I'm using FCE

You cannot drag the effects themselves to the timeline. You add them to a clip in the Viewer, just as you have done.
If the clip was already in the timeline when you opened it in the Viewer (by double-clicking it in the timeline to open it in the Viewer) and then added the reverb effect, there is nothing further to do, you have added the effect to the clip. You don't drag it back to the timeline.
You only have to drag the clip to the timeline if the clip was not already in the timeline (for example, if you opened the clip from the FCE Browser; or set different In and Out points in a master clip to use a different portion of the master clip in a different location in your timeline).
Depending on the effect you add, you may have to render the timeline after adding the effect. But I don't think reverb requires immediate rendering. One other note, you said you were working with an audio clip ... audio clips need to be AIFF (not MP3 or something else) and preferably 16-bit stereo.

I saturated all the available iPad (3rd. generation) screen space (home screens or desktop space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen, mysteriously disappeared? Where are those missing quick lauch app icons?

Running my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.0.4, I saturated all the available iPad screen space (which would be the 15 home screens or desktop worth of space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen space mysteriously disappeared. Where are those missing quick lauch app icons now? The apps are still installed and can be searched/accessed through the finder, but they no longer have a user friendly access. How can I solve this problem?

Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help. Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort. Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
Just sayin.......
Oh and Meg offered the right answer. Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

Reset your iPad. Press and hold both the power and home buttons for 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till you iPad starts on it's own. Now try and download an app.

I cannot view the updates on the App Store. The app icon shows 2 updates but the screen is blank. Need advice?

I have the same problem.
I think there's a problem with the update server. Try again later.
