Moving apps onto the main screens

I have too many apps to appear on the main screens and have now deleted some from the main screens. How do I move the apps onto the main screen? My iPhone is not Synced with iTunes for apps, so when I sync it, all apps are deleted. I can obviously access them through Spotlight but want to access them from the main screens.

I'm assuming you mean that you installed more apps than can fit on the 11 home screen pages, and the overflow apps are only findable with iPhone Search.
1. Delete some apps as you have done.
2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout
My iPhone is not Synced with iTunes for apps, so when I sync it, all apps are deleted.
1. Be sure you've authorized your computer in iTunes to the iTunes store account you used to purchase apps.
2. After connecting your phone to iTunes, and before syncing (disable automatic syncing), right-click your device and select "Transfer Purchases."
3. You might want to do this before deleting apps from the phone so that you won't have to re-download them from the App Store.

  • How can i put my apps onto my main screen

    I have just updated my iphone, wish i didnt. but all my apps arent on my main screens, how can i put them on the screen?

    Press and hold your finger on any app icon until they start 'jiggling'. Then move them to wherever you like. Then press the home button to lock them in place.

  • Windows are out of reach - can not be moved back onto the screen

    Hi
    On one client, somehow the windows (i.e. Item Master) are opening like moved out of the main screen. At the top of the main B1 window I can only see the lowest part of the Item master and I am not able to grab and move it back.
    How can I revert this and reset all windows to the default position?
    Thanks
    Franz

    I tried this before .. without success .. I did it again. It works, under some circumstances. Here's what I found:
    -If UDF's are attached to the window (i.e. ItemMaster) at the bottom and cascade is clicked, it moves out of the main screen and can not be grabbed and moved back.
    -If UDF's are hidden (CtrlShiftU) then clicking cascade works and brings it back into the main screen area.
    Seems to be a bug, IMHO
    Thanks

  • I have apps loaded on my iPad. they show in the main screen are not available to load documents to in the window list which should appear below the main window. the same apps do appear in the sub window on my other iPad. any ideas?

    From what I can see, unless you're doing things with old versions of Xcode on a Mac (in which case, the solution seems to be to upgrade to the latest version), this seems to e an iTunes issue.
    Accepting that it works fine with another iPad, I suggest trying the following:
    1. Restart the non-working iPad
    2. If that doesn't work, reinstall iTunes. If you're on a Windows PC, I suggest using Control Panel to uninstall all the Apple apps, restarting the PC, and doing a fresh install. If you're using a Mac, a repair permissions might help too.
    iTunes 10.3 is now available, and that may make a difference.

  • I have spotty signal at my home, so some functions don't work until I leave the house. I noticed on the main screen, it says I have 54 emails, but when I open the app, I only have 4. I powered down and back up. No fix. What gives?

    Im having this same problem an my phone is about 3 weeks old. I am not sure about the voice over part though...I have not yet figured out how to work the voice recognition part of the phone...I am such a newbie with this phone. I did the power off/on suggestion, several times. I tried leaving it off for 10 minutes. Tried to reset with the power on/off and home button pressed at the same time. Charged battery. Still makes no difference. You cannot scroll any direction. Have to double click to open apps. Have to double click letters when texting or emailing in order to get the letter in the text box. Can scroll through app choices, have to click on the line with the dots in it and move from page to page. Can't access the settings - > general - > accessibility - because it won't allow me to scroll down to "general".
    Anyone help you with your fix yet?

  • My iPad 1 is turning off an app and going back to the main screen at odd times.  I've already updated it... to no avail.  Do I need to reset it to factory defaults and reload everything?

    It turns off many apps at random times. 
    Plus, it won't let me go to the next level of Plants and Zombies!  I've played the same level about 15 times... it goes all the way through the level and then cuts out when it is giving me extra points for my lawn mowers.  Then it goes to the main screen... then when I go back into the game... I'm at the beginning of the level all over again! 
    No fun!

    I'm unsure what you mean but "factory reset" but first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • TS1702 My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting options with the exception of re-installing the app, because I fear I will lose a number of recent projects I have

    My garage band app has crashed & keeps returning to the main screen when I try to open it... I've tried most of the trouble shooting chart (no updates available, tried restarting app, restarted device) all I have left is to re-install the app... My main fear is that if I do this I will lose a load of recent projects that are saved to the app that I've spent the last few days creating... Help...

    I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
    What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
    I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
    Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
    I really hope I don't have to erase it.
    It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
    If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
    Thank you

  • Why does my ipad suddenly leave the app I am using and go back to the main screen

    When I am using apps on my ipad it suddenly leaves the app and reverts to the main screen, does anyone know why this happens?? Is it a problem with the ipad?? Doesn't happen with any particular app, seems to affect all apps. And it doesn't happen all the time, just sometimes, very annoying. Any ideas as to what could be going on

    This is typically a memory issue - meaning, you have too many apps running. You don't mention your device and iOS version so it's difficult to say. Try this...
    Double click the Home button and close all open apps.
    Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • App closes itself and return to the main screen

    While I was playing apps, iphone just started getting wierd i.e. freezing and then automatically return to the main screen (the screen with many apps on like desktop of computer). Anyone experience this problem and how can I resolve the problem please?

    I am having the same problem with several apps and a reset does not help. I downloaded ReaddleDocs, DirecTV, Bloomberg and a couple of games that all worked the first time I tried them but now open to their welcome screen for about 2 seconds and then go back to the iPhone home screen. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the apps, started and restarted the iPhone and reset the iPhone but they still do not work. What is going on and what should I do?
