Moving app from one screen to another fails very often

I'm using the feature to manually move apps from one screen to another on iPhones. It works very smooth without any problem on these devices.
On my iPad 3 I've some trouble with that feature. 1 out of 20 tries works. It makes no difference if moved slow, fast or concentrated - it fails too often.
Spoken with other people using iPad leads to the results the problem also exists on iPad 2. So what happens? You switch to edit mode by holding the "Home" button and wait until the apps are vibrating. Now you put a finger over an app, hold them and move them to the right or left display border. Instead of switching to the next screen the icon jumps back to it's original position. Different people tried it on my iPad and all of them failed in the given rate.
Workaround is to use the shortcut bar on the bottom or to use iTunes from Mac or PC. I've also noticed that most of the time a "close" request of an application (by hitting the "-" sign on an app icon) failed if the app is on the border of the display. This happens randomly and you feel you missed the "-" sign so repeating the operation. But if you concentrate on it you will notice it doesn't respond properly.
As a result my impression is the touchscreen functionality is not as good as on iPhone. Where I have no problem at all with both operations. As other people also suffer from this issues it must be related to the iPad screen.

Yes by restoring the iPhone from the backup of the Pod. The app has to be in the iTunes library of the computer on which you do the restore.

I can't move an app from one screen to another screen

I can't move an app from one screen to another screen

You've got the apps shaking by pressing and holding one of them for a second or two ? If you have then you should be able to drag an app (not too quickly) and then hold it so that it overhangs the edge of the screen, and after a second or so the display should switch to that next/previous screen. Is that not working ?

Having Trouble Moving Apps From One Page to Another

I can easily move apps around on the same page. But I can't seem to move an app from one page to another. They stop at the side of the screen and won't move to the next page. Is there a secret to this or does it take fancy dexterity?

It takes a little dexterity but if you have 9 pAges of apps then it takes pure magic to move any to the
Tenth page. I still haven't been able to do it. I've discovered how to delete those pesky defAult apps though. You put them on the ninth page then drag another app onto page nine and push the other one right off. Disappears forever

Yes. Follow the instructions here or here; using the first set of instructions then requires syncing the new device with the iTunes library containing the content.

You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock

Rearrange icons:
1 Touch and hold any Home screen icon until the icons begin to wiggle.
2 Arrange the icons by dragging them.
3 Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
You can also add links to your favorite webpages on the Home screen. See “Web
Clips” on page 58.
Create additional Home screens: While arranging icons, drag an icon to the right
edge of the screen until a new screen appears. You can flick to return to the original

Moving Apps from One Account to Another

When I moved to my new job I got a new phone. Not being sure what to do I set up a new BB Id with my new e-mail. Now I can't get my apps from my old account. How can I move those apps from my old account to my new one without having to pay for them again?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
It is a matter of using that old BB ID...apps cannot transfer between BB IDs, but BB IDs can transfer between devices, carrying along their purchase records.
To re-install your apps, please see this KB:
KB17625 How to install or transfer previously purchased applications from BlackBerry App World to a BlackBerry smartphone
Given that you've already created a new BB ID on the new device, you may also need this KB:
KB26694 How to change the BlackBerry ID on a BlackBerry PlayBook tablet or BlackBerry smartphone
I'm sorry that the process will be so cumbersome, but it is what it is.
Cheers!

Transfer iPhone Apps from One Account to Another

*Hello everybody,*
*Since I'll be moving to Germany soon to study Medicine, I've created a new iTunes account which is the one I use regularly. I was wondering if there is a possible way to transfer paid apps from one account to another for the same iPhone, and if it's not possible what do you suggest so I can still use my paid apps with my new account.*
*Thank you*

What you would do is on computer authorize other account for that computer. So you computer is authorized to play both accounts. Then you can sync apps from both accounts to your phone using the same computer as before.
My wife and I both have our own accounts and each of our instances of iTunes have authorized each others accounts for that computer. So I can sync her apps and she can sync mine. Just becomes a pain when you update an app via the cell phone when updates come out as trying to do all at once usually fails if the apps for updating are for each account. So have to do one at a time or just have them update via iTunes and sync.

How do i move an app from one page to another

how do i move an app from one page to another? When I upgraded to the latest software on my 4s, the camera went to the last page rather than remaining on the home page

What Rudegar says is true, but it's a lot easier to rearrange icons in iTunes:
Connect your phone and open iTunes.
Click on the Apps tab.
You will see your home screen in the main window, with the other screens in a scrollable column on the right. Scroll down and click on the last page to put it in main window.
Now scroll the column so the home page is visible on the right.
Click on the Camera and drag it onto the home page at the right.
Be careful not to accidentally insert it into another app, thereby creating a group.

How do I move icons from one screen to another.

Hold down on one icon until they start shaking, then drag the icon to the edge of the screen, and the screen should slide to the next one, you can then drop it on that screen or drag it again to the edge to move to the next screen.

How do I move apps from one page to another?

From a previous thread:
Touch and hold any icon for a couple of seconds. They'll all start to wobble. Touch and drag the one you want to move to the side of the screen and the next screen will appear; drop the icon on whatever screen you want it on.
You can also do it quicker in iTunes - connect the phone and click the Apps tab in the main window. You'll see a picture of your phone with the apps laid out. Just click and drag

I have three pages of apps, not all of which are full. How do I move apps from one page to another to have full pages?

Hook your iPad up to your computer and iTunes and move them from within iTunes.
Or
Hold down on one of your apps until they all start to wiggle. Then hold down on the ones you want to move and drag them on the screen. Drag them to the middle left to move them left,(such as from page 2 to page one) middle right ot move them right,(from page 2 to page 3) rearrange as you want.
When you're done, tap the home key and everything should stop wiggling.

How can i copy apps from one computer to another?

how can i copy apps from one computer to another?

You don't mention which operating system you have so it's difficult to provide an answer since the mac and Windows stores the files differently.
The other thing you can do is just re-download the apps from the iTunes Store. Just login to the iTunes Store on the other computer using the same Apple ID. On the right-hand side of the iTunes Store page you will see a 'Purchased' link. Clicking on that will take you to a page that will list your past purchases which you can re-download to the new computer.
