Missing "add to home screen" option

I just noticed when trying to add a web page icon to my home screen that the "Add to Home Screen" button is not appearing. How do I fix that?

Ok. The answer has been found. We are only allowed nine (9) homescreens and when all are filled up the iPhone will drop the ability to add additional homescreen icons. If all of your homescreens are filled and you try to add another iPhone app, it will be added to iTunes but it won't be added to your iPhone until you make room for it.
That explains why I could not add a new web page icon to my homescreen. I deleted one of my icons and replaced it with the new web page icon.
Just FYI to everyone.

How do I delete an app after using "Add to Home Screen"?

I used the "Add to Home Screen" option from Safari. Then it added the app on my home screen. How do I delete it? It does not have an 'X' symbol when I make my icons wiggle. So, does anybody know how to actually delete this app from my iPhone?
I've heard about dragging it to the tenth page...BUT, I am not interested in leaving it on my phone taking up space. I want it off. I was just testing out its functionality.
Thanks

If you plug in your device to the computer, the iTunes page will appear. Click onto your device on the lefthand side, then select "Apps" at the top of the ensuing page. You will see all your applications you have on the device. Right click onto the app you wish to delete, and follow the directions. That should remove it from your device.
Hope it works.

The option add to home screen no longer appears

The option add to home screen no longer appears when I have found a website and I wish to add it to the home screen, any suggestions?
I also took 40plus photos the other day that disappeared without trace

Thanks Chris. You did help me in that I didn't think of saving to desktop and import it iPhoto. But, as I am making a book for my Father for Christmas this is a tedious task. I have also found once in a while it does not work on my desktop either. Must be a Mac thing!

BBz10 internet add to home screen not working !!!

Go to Solution.

Just found this on Crackberry.com and it finall worked for me...
"I also have the same problem as you. I can't find any solution to fix this. But today, when I try to add bookmark to home screen again, there should be a pop dialog "Added to home Screen". When it pop up, just immediately tap that pop up dialog. And the my home screen can show the bookmark. After that, I do not need to do this again. Seems it is fixed. I think th is really unreasonable. But it really works for me. Please let me know if this work on others of you."
Just gotta be quick to tap the "Added..." message box before it disappears.

What happened to the add to home page option for web pages. Can't find it.

Try stopping Safari followed by resetting your phone: double-tap the home button, locate Safari at the bottom (swiping if necessary), tap and hold until it wiggles, tap the minus sign. Now reset: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appers first), then release. If it still is missing you may need to restore your phone, which will put a fresh copy of the iOS on your phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).

Safari "Add to Home Screen" Gone

I recently did a fresh restore to my phone because it was acting a little buggy and now it seems that the "Add to Home Screen" function in Safari is now missing. I have a screen capture of it here: http://img.skitch.com/20100818-kbhen3hsrx2i6u66ru63mnbaya.png
I tried searching everywhere to see if it was removed from the newest update and checked all the settings and could seem to figure out or find why its gone. It appears to be not being discussed anywhere so I figured I turn here.
If anyone could help, it would mean a lot because I use that function a lot and its bugging me not to have it.
Thanks in advance!
I am running 4.0.2 on iOS 4 on a 3Gs iPhone.

I fixed it by resetting using home key & off button

My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

(IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
Or do what hannahsage said above.

It can't be deleted, but it can move. Check other screens as well as within existing folders. Also check, Settings - General - Restrictions - Camera = ??

I'm going to assume you're in Safari? If yes, you can in essence create a shortcut app like icon on your screen, which will let you go to that site instantly.

Widget option does not appear when trying to add Firefox home screen widget

E mail suggested the method of holding empty space on home screen, then select "widgets" and add Firefox widget. Unfortunately my nexus 7 only offers wallpapers, android messenger and 1 other. Please advise, thanks Allan

Thanks for trying to help.
On the main computer, per "Part 3: Connect your other computer to your Sync account", there remains no indication of being signed in, no Manage Account button and no Add a Device link when I click on the Sync icon in Options (accessed like this: Firefox menu, Options menu, Options menu item, Sync tab).
The account has, however, been set up and I can sign into it to manage it at https://services.mozilla.com/ and after following the procedure at the "I don't have the device with me" link my iPod Touch and laptop both reported that Firefox Sync had been successfully set up. However, experimenting to see if it is working, adding a new bookmark on the desktop PC does not result in it being replicated in Firefox Home on the iPod Touch after tapping Settings, Refresh (although I am shown as signed in on the iPod Touch).
Am I missing out some step regarding having the account "active" on the desktop PC?

I'm not sure why anyone would want to help you if you start a thread by cursing at and berating the people from whom you want help.
Where did you purchase your phone? What is the model number? What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked to make sure that it hasn't been disabled in Restrictions?

Email Icon Notification - Home Screen - Option to remove automatic notification?

I have a need to remove the automatic email notification on the home screen.
Would love to know how to remove the option of automatically being notified for every new email but retain the ability to check my emails from the handset.
Thanks

You could always modify your Sounds profile to not play a tone and not flash the red LED when you receive a work email on the weekend so you would only see the email when you looked at your phone.
Just an idea

6 home screen options or 7? I have a question

Ok so I was interested in checking out a different launcher. So I downloaded the free version of launcher pro. Checked it out and decided not to keep it at this time. So I uninstalled the Launcher pro and went back to the TwLauncher. Well tell me if I am wrong but prior to my curiosity, I thought I had 7 possible screens to move around on and now somehow I only have 6? Not a big deal but now I am wondering why or at least how to I get my seventh screen back? Has anyone ever experienced this sort of thing before?

you can add and remove home screens
at any home screen go to menu>edit page
