Slow "rearrange icon" feature on 4.2.1?

Hello all
I've already posted my issue inside one of the threads, but no one seems reacted on it. So I want to post it as a new thread.
I've upgraded my iPhone 3GS from 4.1 to 4.2.1. No needs to say that we all missed new text tones But I've discovered strange issue with rearrange icons feature. It turns on and turns off very very slow of compare it with 4.1 firmware. I've checked it with 3gs of my friend.
Can anyone please check this behavior? I hope this is not a problem of firmware itself, but rather my local problem. Resetting phone, restoring again did nothing to solve the problem.
Thank you, and may the ios be with you all.

I'm having the same problem too...I've upgraded to iOS 4.2.1 and now when i wiggle my icons to arrange it, it lags for a few seconds and when i hit Home after that, it lags for a few seconds too. Also, I feel like the wifi connection and internet browsing become slower too. Is there any solutions? Should I/Can I downgrade? This is starting to annoy me...Help Me!:(

Can't rearrange icons or get to the multitasking screen

I just had my iPad mini reset and got iOS 8.3. Now I am unable to rearrange icons - I can get the icons to wiggle but if I try to move them, they just snap back to where they were and I can't create any folders. My home button is working, a single click gets me out of the app I'm in, 3 clicks bounces me to the home screen, but 2 clicks won't open the multitasking screen - I've tried adjusting the click speed with no success. I've also tried the 4-5 finger sweep from bottom to top and that also won't open the multitasking screen although the other gestures work. As an added note, I have screen orientation unlocked and while the screen will rotate within an app, it won't rotate on the home screen.

Is the device yours and unfettered, or is it a corporate or school-owned device subject to central management? Such devices can have a management profile imposed upon them by the central administrator, which can have such kinds of restrictions. And which do not show up in the Settings.

How do I rearrange icons

How do I rearrange icons on iPad ?

Tap and hold on any icon until they all begin to jiggle. Then tap and hold on an icon until it grows slightly and drag it to the new location you want it to be. Note that dragging and icon onto the top of another icon will create a folder that contains both apps. When you are finished click the Home button.

How do I rearrange icons in the dock?

Beginning with OS X 10.1, I've always been able rearrange icons in the dock by simply dragging them to a new position. Existing icons move out of the way to make way. But not any more, not with Mountain Lion. With a lot of fiddling I can get the icon to lift out, but then no existing icons slide over to make room. Everything appears to be locked down solid.
This can't be how Apple now wants the OS to behave! Some have suggested I trash the system preferences in order to restore flexibility. Something I'm very reluctant to do.
I strongly suspect Apple has "hardened" the dock to protect the careless user. Holding down Option, Command and/or Control has no effect.
Surely there must be a new technique for re-arranging icons, but what is it?
With kind regards,

Yes, that does work. However the OS puts up great resistence. Formerly the OS accommodated smoothly, like silk. Now it's as if the OS is testing my intention all the way. Finally, reluctantly lets go.
Thanks for the help.

Does the iPhone 5c have the slow motion video feature?

I'm not sure which phones have the slow motion video feature but does the 5c or is it just the 5s?

Just the 5S.

Rearranging Icons

Hello all,
When I'm browsing the internet, I tend to drag PDF files to the desktop to read later, or pictures in iPhoto I want on the desktop; and Lion automatically rearranges them (snaps them to a grid) - the snap to grid feature is not on. I usually let icons pile up into the corner of my screen, then rearrange the deskop. If I drag a photo orfile to the desktop, it automatically goes and sorts itself amongst the other icons, when I want it to stay in the corner of the screen until I move it
I think that's the best I can explain it
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help

display the icons on the home page
touch one of the icons for a few seconds they will all start to wobble like jello
now you can move them around also you can move them to "another page"
I think you can have upto 8 pages.
You will see small dots at the bottom of the screen that let you know how many pages you actually have created.
When you are satisfied with the layout press the lower middle button on the case and all the icons lock in place

Cannot use iTunes to download apps or rearrange icons

Since I updated iOS 8 on my iPhone 6 this morning, I cannot rearrange the icons on my screens, either right on the phone or in iTunes when connected with USB cord. I also cannot install apps that I previously downloaded. Anyone else having these problems? The iTunes store is supposedly functional again.
Thanks in advance!

Can't rearrange icons in dock

Hi
Ever since I updated to Leopard, I haven't been able to rearrange the icons in the dock. I can still add apps anywhere in the dock, but then once it's in there, I can't move it anywhere else. None of this was happening on Tiger, so I know it's because of updating to Leopard.
Has anyone else had similar problems, and does anyone know how I would go about fixing it?
Thanks

Have you tried deleting the dock's preferences? If not, you might try that, or try doing a permissions repair in the disk utility. If the dock cannot write to its preference file then it will not store where you move things.

How to rearrange icons

Hello all!
I am playing around w my new iPad and can't seem to rearrange the icons-more specifically move an icon from page one to page two.
They just refuse to be dragged over? Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hi Kappy.
Maybe the only way?
Although the user manual (IOS 5, even) clearly states that you can do it from the device itself...
(On iPod touch, this works as advertised.)

Start-up issues with slowness, blocked icons and disk 'whirr'

Hi
Bought a MB Pro 13" standard model about six weeks ago. This morning, for the first time start-up was incredibly slow, I had the 'beachball' (no clock or data in the top right corner) and I could not select the icons on my Desktop. The Dock appeared after a while but then none of the programmes responded and the clock/battery data etc still did not appear.
It sounded like the hard disc was also trying 'to start' or something with a low whirr.
I´m new to Mac but have searched these forums and used the Disc Utility. The programme mentioned an Invalid Volume count and couldn't be repaired.
Any help or advice regarding what to do next? I'd like to avoid losing all my files, emails from Office '11 for example...
Many thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It's also possible that your hard drive is failing. If so, you will need to replace it. If Apple replaces it under warranty, they will keep the old drive.
Try Disk Warrior and see if it fixes your problem. If it does, get an external drive and use Time Machine or Super Duper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a backup, so that you won't have to worry about losing data again. All hard drives will eventually fail--that is just a reality. Having your data on 2 or more hard drives greatly decreases the chance of losing everything.
Good luck!

Executable jars are running slow for certain features

A weird problem occured one day. I started running my old jar -packed application. It took more than a minute to load the main window. Also updating file browser window is really slow when I browse from a folder to another. I also tested running other jar applications and they have similar problems. Everything works but certain task are extremely slow.
I reinstalled jre1.6.0_07 but it did not help. Then I uninstalled all jdk's and jre's and installed jdk1.6.0_07 which came with jre1.6.0_07. No result. Do you have any idea where the problem is or what I could try next?

Problem solved.
It was the mingw that I installed as full installation. Full installation came with a java compiler, which made some specific java features really slow.
Another problem was uninstalling it in a way that would have restored java as it was. I tried uninstalling mingw, manually removing mingw folder, cleared environment variables, removed and reinstalled all java etc. Finally, I just reinstalled everything beginning from OS on my computer

My dock keeps rearranging icons

Hi guys. I just did a clean install of snow leopard (although this problem has been happening with every single MacBook i've had) and whenever i try to move icons around on the dock it either rearranges it, or rearranges it and deletes icons off my dock. it happens a few second after i move things and it's always different. this problem is seriously annoying, i've tried deleting com.apple.dock or whatever and i also don't use mobileme or isync so that's not the problem either. anybody have a solution?

Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.finder.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac.

FF4 sort of works in Win 98SE via Kernel Ex but slow and lacks features

I had last version of FF2 working fine with Win 98SE but could not access features using java, Flash, etc.; I installed Kernel EX and FF4, after which it seems to work but is slow as molasses...takes more than a minute to load home page or other link, after which it won't scroll for 10 to 30 seconds. There is no history or bookmarks and the back/forward buttons do not work consistently.
It works well enough to be promising, but frustrating; is there any hope? Perhaps missing system files from Win XP? Any help greatly appreciated...I really like Firefox!

Sorry, your operating system has been officially obsolete since July 11, 2006. It's likely that websites require more recent versions of Flash Player and Java than you can run.
* [http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406791.html Flash Player 9 for older operating systems]
* [http://java.com/en/download/faq/other_jreversions.xml Where can I get older versions of Java and related documentation?]
You can try starting Firefox in a new profile and see if that helps any. But it's likely that these problems are caused by running Firefox on an unsupported operating system with the aid of third-party software. Having an overclocked CPU doesn't help matters either.
* [[Managing profiles]]
If things aren't any better in a new profile, you can try Firefox 3.6.28 instead. This version is now obsolete and insecure, but that seems a bit of a moot point in your case.

If you're unable to upgrade your hardware, you may want to consider switching from Windows to Linux. You would have the benefit of an up-to-date and secure operating system, browser and plug-ins at no cost.

Apple configurator - rearranging icons on supervised devices

I have set up 3 test ipads to try and understand the power of Apple configurator before rolling out around 20 further ipads with an identical layout..
I now have all 3 ipads loading with one profile and a bunch of free apps. The problem is all the app icons are across 3 different pages on the ipad and i want to tidy them up so they appear on just the first 2 pages of the ipad. I also want to arrange the icons so the most popular ones are on the first page.
When i try to rearrange the icons on one ipad then re-connect it, the ipad reverts back to the old display of icons spread across 3 pages. I guess this because it reverts to the previous saved profile.
I can't seem to find a way of turning off the supervision temporarily to allow me to arrange all the icons in the way i want, change the background imagae or make any small setting changes on the ipad to be able to roll those changes out to all the other devices.
I feel like i am missing something ?

Hey Rookeydooks,
Sounds like you have Apple Configurator set to automatically refresh when you connect iPads. To turn this off (in Apple Configurator 1.2.1), in the menu bar go to Apple Configurator -> Preferences. On the General tab, uncheck "Automatically refresh". This way, the iPad won't automatically revert back to the saved supervised backup.
Once you make your changes, you should then create a new Supervised Backup. After that, you can go back to Apple Configurator -> Preferences, and check "Automatically refresh".
Hope this answers your question!
