How do I remove a shortcut from the Home Screen of...
How do I remove a shortcut from the Home Screen of a Nokia 700? I'm a bit clumpsy with the touch screen and I keep adding shortcuts for everyrhing. It's easy enough (too easy) to add them, but how can I remove/delete them? There doesn't seem to be any option to deleting them and it's not mentioned in the manual.
Solved!

How to remove items from iPad home screen?
Press and hold any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

How can I remove things from the home screen
How can I remove things from the iPad home screen?
Hold down an icon until all icons start to wiggle.
You then have two choices:
1. Drag the icon to the right so it goes to a different (non-home) screen.
2. If the icon is not supplied by Apple as part of iOS, you will see a small "X" in the upper left corner. You can click that to delete the icon.
Stop the wiggling by pressing the home button. -
How do I remove "web clips" links to web pages from my Home screen? Holding until jiggle does not produce "X" for deletion contrary to the ipod touch manual
Figured oout that I had restricted deletions of programs.
Settings->General->Restrictions-> (enter your passcode), Turn Deleting Apps ON
Afterward holding an icon until it jiggles will produce the X delete button.
You might want to turn Delete apps OFF after cleaning up. -
Cannot move applications to previous pages from iPhone home screen
This is a recent issue that I just noticed today. When I press and hold on an app from my iPhone home screen, I can move it around within its own page, or move it to succeeding pages. However, the phone will not allow me to move the app to a PREVIOUS page! It quickly tries to move to the the left, until it resets itself on the current page its on. My only way around this is to synch the apps from iTunes. Has anyone else been experiencing this bug?
Thanks for the advice, but this still does not work. Again, I've had no problems moving apps between home screen pages until now. This seems to have occurred right after downloading an app from the app store today. I'm running OS 3.1.2, and the phone will literally "pull back" an app I'm trying to move to a previous page, whether I move it to any previous page (currently using four pages of apps at the moment). It will let me move an app to a subsequent page, but then it's stuck there (i.e. it cannot be moved back to the page I moved it from). The only way to move it back is through iTunes. What the heck is going on here?

I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away. I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma. Thank you kindly.
What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents). -
How do I uninstall an application from my home screen?
How do I uninstall an application from my home screen? example: I want to remove my fantasy football team website from my home screen. I accidently saved it on the home screen twice, so now I have two of the same thing saved on my home screen.
This is an app, not a web clip from a website?
Not sure how there can be two copies of the same app on your iPhone.
If a web clip from a website, press and hold the icon for the web clip or on the icon for any other app or web clip on the home page where the web clip is located until all icons start to wiggle. Select the X on the icon for the web clip that you want deleted. After the web clip is deleted, press the home button. -

I just upgraded to IOS 7. Prior to that upgrade if I wanted to get to spotlight search I just scrolled left to right from my home page and got it. Now...that doesn't work. How do I get to spotlight/search with IOS 7? Sheesh...why change such an easy basic thing anyway??? Can someone let me know please.
Now, you get to Spotlight by swiping down from the home screen, but do not start the swipe at the top of the screen. Start it in the middle somewhere.

I was trying to move my photos from the iPhoto library to an external hard drive. I now have a desktop display of thousands of cascading photos. How do I remove them from my desktop screen?
Strangely enough we can not see you so it really helps if you share with use exactly what you have, exactly what you did and details about the problem
what version of iPhoto and of the OS? What exact steps did you do? where are you seeing these "thousands of cascading photos" now and using what software and what exactly did you want to accomplish
The correct way to move your iphoto library to an external drive is to verify the drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journal) and then drag the iphotl library intact as a single entity to is
The correct way to move some or all of your photos is to select them in iphoto and export 9file menu ==> export -- https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921 ) to the external drive

My iPhone camera will not open up. When I press on the icon it open and closes quickly. When I open it from my home screen it reboots my phone. What should I do?
Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

My youtube app has suddenly disappeared from my home screen of my ipod 5g. How do I get it back?
Suddenly I can no longer find my youtube app icon. If I search my ipod it does show up and I can open it. If I go into the App Store it shows under purchased and I can also open it from there. But the icon is missing from my home screen. I looked in settings under restrictions but youtube is not listed. I even looked under utilities to see if I accidentally dragged it there but it's not there. Where could it be?
SInce in iOS 6 YouTube is now not included in the iOS there is not Restriction setting for YouTube.
I would connect the iPod to your computer and then go to the Apps pane for the iPod in iTunes and find the YouTube app and move it to where you can find it. -
(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.
