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

  • 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.

  • What does "add to home screen" mean?

    What does add to home screen mean?

    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.

  • BBz10 internet add to home screen not working !!!

    the option to add to home screen is not working, when i choose this from the options it says added to homescreen after saving, but not showing icon on home screen, can anyone help please.
    Solved!
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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?

  • Add to home screen without browsing to website?

  • Safari/Mail icon home screen reset moving issue

    I ran into an interesting issue earlier today when I was resetting the home screen layout of my iphone 4S. I attempted to move the safari and mail app icons out of the bottom tray (while the icons were "wiggling") and for some reason they would not come out. I hit the home button to stop the icon wiggling and attempted to move them again. No go. The phone and message icons moved out without an issue, but safari and mail would not.
    I shut the iphone off and turned it back on and re-attempted it. This time it worked.
    How come I am unable to take and move those two icons off that bottom bar right after doing a home screen reset? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

    I Have the same problem on my new iPad Air.

  • Safari goes to home screen as soon as i attempt to put in website since update

    Please advise any fixes, as soon as i go to safari and enter a search it goes to home screen but frequently viewed sites still works.

    Hi there rrfaff,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • Safari crashes to home screen

    Can anyone help me?
    When I am using safari to view a web page my iTouch suddenly goes back to the home screen - even though I did not press the home button at the bottom.
    It has happened several times now. I have tried resetting safari in "settings" but that does not seem to work as it happened again soon after I did that.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks very much.
    When you say "known issue" do you mean that it happens to you as well? Or do you mean that Apple know about it and are trying to fix it?
    My iTouch is brand new (16gb model) and I have only been using it a few days.

  • Safari crashing to home screen

    This is getting really annoying. Every single time that I use Safari, it crashes and sends me to the home screen. This crash will occur anytime within seconds to a few minutes after beginning to load a page. I have cleared the cache and everything else and the problem still persists.
    In anticipation of a crash I stopped a webpage while it was loading this afternoon. I did this so this so that I could read the text on the page which had already loaded. Despite the fact that the webpage was no longer loading, SAFARI STILL CRASHED about 30 seconds after the loading was stopped.
    I see this problem posted and there seems to be no solution. Does this affect every single iPhone?
    FWIW, I pretty much only use edge and not wifi. I have 4 free gigs of space on the iphone. I am using Vista at home. Software version on the phone is 1.1.3. I've owned it since a day after MacWorld. It has never been jailbroken.

    Try a Reset by pressing and holding the Home button and Sleep/Wake or On/Off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and the release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so.
    If this allows Safari to load a website, quit Safari by pressing and holding the Home button until the iPhone returns to the Home screen. This quits the application.
    Then clear the Safari cache, cookies and history.
    Power your iPhone off and on or do another Reset.
    If this doesn't resolve it, time to give AppleCare a call - (800) 694-7466.

  • Safari resets to home screen

    Since updating to 5.01, my iPad periodically goes back to the home screen when browsing in Safari.  There doesn't seem to e any pattern to it.  I'm wondering if this is a software issue (is anyone else seeing this happen?) or if it's a hardware issue and I need o take the unit in while it's still in warranty.  Any responses would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    See if the following help. Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : 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 - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Turning off iCloud and multitasking gestures on the iPad has also been suggested on these forums.

  • Safari returns to Home screen

    When changing websites in Safari our iPad often goes blank and returns to the home screen. Just recently started in the year that we have had it. Other applications seem to work fine.

    You can try this next. You can remove databases in Safari. I'm not sure it will do any good but it will not hurt anything.
    You can go to Settings>Safari>Databases. If you don't see databases under the Accept Cookies field in the setting then it doesn't matter and this theory is shot. If databases is listed - tap it and it takes you to the next window that shows all of the databases in Safari. Tap edit and remove them - or at least see if one or more of those databases is from the sites that are causing Safari to crash. If they are, by all means delete them and that may help. It does no harm to remove these because when you return to that site again the databases will reload. I delete mine from time to time. If you see one that is close to the size limit alloted for that database, it may be causing an issue. Restart the iPad after you do this.
    Your theory about removing apps may still hold water. You may have not hit on the one that is causing the problem yet. One other thing you can try is to download an app - any free app - see if Safari works OK after you try that. This  seems to be a new "fix" that sometimes works for apps that crash. Again - no promises - but it will do no harm to try. You can always delete the app if you don't want it.
