IPhone 4 Folder Limitations for Apps

Wondering if there is any change to the limitation of number of applications in a folder. I still can not add more than 12 apps in a folder after 4.2 update. I heard that there will be an increase. Maybe it was just a rumour?

no you are not right, it meant "...limitation of number of applications in a folder...."
Limit is 12 apps in a folder, because more cannot displayed on the screen.
I and 141FD want more than 12 apps in one folder and we want a scrollbar.
Otherwise, if you have more apps as 12 of one categary, you need to create more folders, e.g. "Game 1, Game, Game 3" and so on. Not very nice.
I've written to Apple, maybe it helped (I don't think so, but it's a try):

Writing to Apple is better than Jailbreaking or buying an Android phone.

  • HT201270 Why will my iphone not search for apps?

    Just set up my new iphone but i wont search for apps, i type one in press search and nothing happens, theres nothing in featured etc etc

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Lost my iPhone 5S icons for App Store and iTunes Store

    I was syncing my iPhone 5S to iTunes on my laptop when I noticed that suddenly two important icons were missing from my iPhone's Home Page: the App Store icon as well as the iTunes Store icon. I need them back but don't know what to do. I've tried powering down my phone for two minutes then turning back on, no luck. I have no idea how to get these icons back. When I click on a link that is supposed to take me to either place, nothing happens. Please help!

  • Iphone newbie, looking for apps to do calendars and invoicing

    Hello-
    I have had my iphone 4 for 2 days now and I'm pretty happy.
    One of the main things I would like to do is have my work calendar synched to some type of invoicing program.
    I am a freelancer working for several different companies and some have different pay rates.
    I would like to be able to put my hours into a calendar event, specify the company and the rate charged, calculate any overtime and generate an invoice.
    Then I would like to have those invoices emailed once a week to each company I've worked for.
    Then I want some sharks with lazers on their heads.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    You won't find any apps that can do this, because there are none for a non-jailbroken iPhone. Only Apple could add this ability. You can password protect the whole phone or not give your phone to your son...get him a touch? Those are your choices. You can suggest Apple add this ability here:

  • Why is the new OS is limiting for apps?

    One issue I'm finding is that because of the new OS, there are compatibility issues with many of the apps which are available for most other BB models .  I choose the BB for certain reasons, but one in particular was the app "Shazam".  Being a musician and music enthusiast, it is a very useful app.
    All I'm getting from the support team at "Shazam" and Sprint is that this model is not compatible.
    Looks like it's on you, Blackberry to resolve this.  Will this problem ever get fixed?  Considering how I just upgraded my phone, I'm seriously considering an exchange for one of the android phones.
    Sincerely,
    Alex

    Actually, it's not on BlackBerry at all, it's on the app makers.
    Just like when Microsoft introduces a new O/S, it's the software makers that have to update their software to be compatible with it.
    App makers want their apps to be compatible with as many models as possible (for financial reasons) so they will update the apps when it makes financial sense i.e. enough people are using the new phones to make it worthwhile.
    I've found that bank apps are typically slower to update, due to the security concerns involved.
    The best thing to do is let the makers of Shazam know that you want an updated app then wait it out from there.

  • How do I lock a folder or an App on my iPhone 5s? For example WhatsApp and other private Apps, please help

    No it isn't possible, you can only lock your entire phone by setting up a four digit passcode.

  • HT1386 Because of limited internet on my iphone 5, i download updates to apps thru ITunes and then sync them to my iphone.  Lately, the apps download properly and the sync seems to go thru, but on my phone, they keep saying they are updating and it never

    Because I have limited internet package on my att iphone 5, I update apps on my computer thru ITunes and then sync them to my phone.  The downloads seems to go thru and then install.  But when I turn on my phone, the affected apps continue to say they are updating and it never goes away.  I do not have wifi but when I am connected, the apps don't update.  Help!!!!

    Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
    First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
    Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
    When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
    I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck!

  • Aperture app for photos on iPhone instead of iPhoto app

    I recently got Aperture and have been converting iPhoto pictures over to Aperture.
    I have the iPhoto app (standard with the iPhone) with a few 100 pictures.
    I thought that I could add an App for Aperture to the iPhone for the pictures but cannot find it in the app store in iTunes.
    I have no problem continuing iPhoto as an app for the phone, but think it would be easier.
    So the question is : is there an iPhone app for Aperture that allows the viewing of the photos thru the iPhone as can be done by the iPhoto app ?
    I have the iPhone 3, ISO 4
    I am planning on getting the next generation iPhone (5 ?) if that is the issue then obviously I will wait and continue with iPhone.
    Greg

    The Photos app on the iPhone is not specific to iPhoto. It will also show photos from Aperture.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer and open iTunes and select it from the Devices list. Then click the Photos tab at the top. There's a popup menu "Sync photos from". This is where you decide whether you want photos from iPhoto or Aperture on your iPhone. Don't forget to sync if you change the setting.
    Using this automatic syncing you can only have it sync to one application at a time. However, if you want photos from both, you can instead choose to sync from a folder using the same popup menu. Just export the photos you want on your phone from both iPhoto and Aperture into this folder. The upside is you have complete control over what gets synced. The downside is it is a totally manual process.

  • How do I set time limits for my iphone?

    You know how there are parental controls on the macs in the settings. In there you can set up time limits of how long you can use the computer for but I can't find it on the iphone where you can set time limits for use. I looked at the restrictions sections but I don't see anything on setting time limit. How could I set time limits for use on my phone? I go on my phone too much and I really have to set restrictions to limit my time on it.

    There are apps you can download i believe to do this.

    I have an Iphone 5  6.01.  I have a notice on my app store that I have an update. Tried to update, but it won't.  Connected to Itunes and tried to download update for App.  I can't do that either.  It won't let me update any of the apps.  What is wrong?

    My husband and I are using the same iTunes account on all mac & pc computers, but the libraries are different on each machine.  We always manually manage our music (no auto sync).  iTunes is up to date on the PCs.  My husband uses our joint iTunes account on his pc, but once again, has a different collection in his library from those on the other machines.  He can't load any music from his PC to his iphone 4.  I can load music from my mac library to my iphone 4s, but cannot load from my pc library to my iphone 4s.  How can I switch my main library that it syncs with from the mac to the pc?
    Thanks

  • For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  When i click update, it acts as if it is going to update but puts all apps in "waiting" status.  I've tried selecting each, as well as deleting and re-downloading but to no avail.

    For the 2nd day my iPhone 5 will not let me download updates for apps.  I've tried selecting each to click off wait, and have selected new updates indvidually instead of all together.  Also have shut the phone down and have even deleting the apps completely and re-downloaded but to no avail.  Each app continues to sit on my screen with the line below as if it is about to download but never does, and now any apps I've tried to updated will not let me use them.

  • Hi I got iPhone 4 been getting apps today went to get an app and won't let me even free ones have to sign in then sign in again for billing info it's all correct but still won't download apps had problem before fixed it but won't work again

    iPhone has previously downloaded apps but go to do today and won't keeps asking for billing info which is in there and correct but then says plz update you payment there is a billing problem with your previous purchase it's done before to me so reset and erased everything and worked did that Again and still doesn't work  info is all correct have to re enter Ccv number still doesn't work driving me nuts I want my apps

    If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
    If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

  • Having a Problem Backing Up Paid For Apps on iPhone to iTunes

    Hi, I am having a problem finding out how to back up/sync the Apps I have purchased on my iPhone and have on my iPhone BUT did not purchase in iTunes nor do I have them in iTunes.
    Basically, I did not purchase these apps on/in/through iTunes. I got them all while I was on my iPhone. Therefore they are not in iTunes or backed up anywhere else for that matter. And now I want to back them up somehow or "sync" them in iTunes if that is what your suppose to do.
    BUT.......
    Every time I try to "sync apps" or any other choice in iTunes while my iPhone is synced up it gives me the message that it will be deleting all the paid for apps on my iPhone and replacing them with the apps currently in iTunes (which is zero !) I am smart enough to know NOT to do that and learned my lesson several times with photos, and music how completely stupid and irrational the "syncing" process is with iTunes and the iPhone and how it makes no sense. (as in, why is it not just like a hard drive ? Drag and drop files to and fro your computer and iPhone that you want backed up or on or off your iPhone, etc..) ? What is with this LAME, stupid, completely convoluted "Sync" idea ? I know several people that constantly lose their contacts, photos, music, calendars, etc.. ALL because the iPhone and COmputer does not act like a normal Hard Drive.... I mean, what is Apple thinking ? Get rid of "Sync" man, its unneeded.
    ANYWAY, enough of the rant - So I ask --- HOW do you back up your paid for apps if they are currently on your iPhone, but not in iTunes ? I have searched and searched and nothing is available to do so in iTunes.. what gives ? Surely there has to be a way, but of course is worded wrong with a horrible "action name" maybe ? Restore ? IDK, please help.
    On a 16GB iPhone 4 (not the new ones), and running iOS 4.3.5. Latest version of iTunes.
    Thanks in advance for all help !

    LOL, thanks so much roaminggnome ! The one place/thing I did not see/understand I guess.
    Done deal ! It worked fine. I am now all 100% backed up.
    Thanks again.
    modular747, thanks for chiming in and helping. I will keep what you said in mind. Although, this particular time all I was trying to do was back up/sync/transfer the Apps I did purchase on my account. I was not intending on doing that for the Apps that came with the iPhone. I figure those will always be there after every update anyway right ? So no need to back them up.
    Anyway, thanks again guys, you both were very helpful..
