Unable to move apps to first screen page

For some reason I suddenly have been unable to move my apps to the first page of the iPad screen. I've made sure there was an extra space, even though I am trying to add an app to an existing folder. But even after moving the folder to the second page, adding the new app to that folder, I cannot move the folder back to the first page. Very frustrating.

Sometimes the feature is a bit persnickety, but if you patiently hold the app or folder against the edge of the page it should eventually slide to the next page.
If not try a reset. Press & Hold the Power and Home buttons together 10+ seconds until the iPad restarts. Ignore the red power off slider.

Unable to move app icons from home page, on my iPad, to another.

It seems to only move apps when I hold it in landscape view. I've Just received the iPad back, after sending it off to apple to be fixed. It would open apps by itself, freeze and be generally unresponsive.

Try a reset and see if that helps.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
If that doesn't help, I'm not sure what Apple might have repaired since they generally replace devices rather than repair them, but I would question them and see if they can help. They may have replaced your iPad with a "bad" device.

How to move apps from one screen to the next?

In order to organize a bit the screens after installing several apps, how can we move them from one screen to the next?
I've found it possible to place them in the lower bar and then replace them into the required screen but that's very slow...
Any other way?
Also, is it possible to place the apps where we want and not get them automatically reorganized (blanks filled)?
Thanks,

Sorry I guess the correct terminology would be 'virtual desktops'.
You pass from one virtual desktop to another swiping left or right on the phone.
I would like to switch conveniently an app (icon) from one virtual desktop to another.

I am unable to move app icons from one screen to the next, after 2.1

Can any one verify this?
I have restarted the phone, just in case and the behavior continues.
While on the subject, it would be nice if Apple could supply a MAC interface for rearranging the iPhone screens as it is not much fun on the phone itself.

Figured it out last night. it does work but you now have to kind of over along the boder before it jusmps over. I am pretty sure that before it sufficed to push the icon to the border in order to move it over.
I guess this new way is better as you really need to want to move it in order to switch screens.

Unable to unzip files , unable to move apps into the app foldercant update

I cannot unzip files. Also if i try to install a new app by dragging it to the applications folder it says "that files already exists".
also if i try to update with software update it gives an error. i tried running verify disk permissions and repair disk permissions but this did nothing please help i am scared cuz my last time machine was along time ago.

Not to worry.
A few clarification questions first.
What exactly does the dialog say when you try to drag a new app to the applications folder? Is it something like, "an older version of this already exists in this location, do you want to replace it with the version you are moving?"
And, what application are you attempting to use to unzip files?

Screen blanks out when trying to move apps in itunes 11.1

I can't move apps from one screen.folder to another without the screen blanking out in itunes 11.1

I've had a similiar problem. I once tried connecting my player to a stereo system using someone elses stereo and audio cables. I connected the cables to the headphone jack and watched as my creative zvm sort of freaked out and went to the fm radio screen. However, a few seconds ago I tried this once again using my own cables (exact same type as my friends audio cables, just a different brand) and was able to successfully connect my player to my stereo reciever and nothing went wrong. So the only differences between these two attempts were the cables (which as far as I know are the exact same thing, just with some minor cosmetic differences, both had a standard audio jack that fit the headphone connection, and both split into two auxiliary connectors for audio, one red, one white), both went through different stere recievers, and I had upgraded my firmware since that last attempt.
When I first tried it and the player freaked out I wondered if it was caused by some complication due to the feature that allows you to have a wired remote control. But since it works on my setup I'm not too sure about that unless that was somethign that got fixed with the latest firmwware release.
And this is something I tried while writing this. I went into settings, went to audio/video settings and turned oof the Video Out option. Connected my usb dongle (that came with my player) to my player and connected my video cables to the player and connected the white and red connectors to my reciever. The screen stayed on and audio played through my stereo. Even with Video Out on music still played but obviously the screen turned off as it switched to A/V Out mode.

Closing apps & deleting apps from Home Screen

Ackkk. What the manual says will happen isn't what happens. I looked. Honest. Thing is, I don't always want stuff to keep running in the background. (E.g., listening to music. I know I can hit the pause button to stop the song from playing, but I don't just want it paused. I want it turned off.) (Make any sense?)
Bought iPad 2 yesterday, upgraded to iOS 5.0 just fine, did the little ICloud installation just fine, downloaded the "iPad User Guide for IOS 5.0 Software" , and actually read the applicable parts. (I'would point out that the fact that I read the manual is probably because I'm a girl-person and not a boy-person, but that would be sexist.) (So I won't point that out.)
Here are the manual instructions I'm having problems with:
Page 23: Force an app to close: Touch and hold the app icon until it begins to jiggle, then tap "-" (the manual has an illustration showing a little red circle with a minus sign)
Page 24: Deleting an app from the Home screen: Touch and hold the app icon until it begins to jiggle, and an "X" appears. Tap X to delete the app ..." (the manual has an illustration showing a little red circle with an X)
MY PROBLEM: I touch and hold ANY app icon, every app icon on the whole screen begins to jiggle (entertaining, but not helpful ...) And none of the cute little jiggling icons (including the one I'm holding) shows me any little red circle containing a minus sign OR any little red circle containing an "X" ...
On Page 25: Move an icon to another screen: Drag an icon to the right edge of the screen until another screen appears (yadda yadda)".
MY PROBLEM: In the manual, it looks like they're dragging one of the standard Home Screen icons from the main home screen to a second screen. I DID set up a second Home Screen just fine for other apps (Kindle, a game, etc.) but wanted to move some of the built-in icons to that second screen ... when I drag one to the right, it doesn't go off that screen. (though all the icons start that cute litle jiggling thing.) Am I stuck with all the icons on the main Home screen just staying there, or am I just not getting it?
Thank you thank you thank you thank you.

To close an app you first need to open the taskbar by double-clicking the home button (the taskbar will then show at the bottom of the screen and the rest of the screen will 'fade'), and then press and hold one of the apps that show on the taskbar - you should then get the symbol on those open/recently used apps.
To move apps you first need to press and hold one of the apps (on the homescreen not on the taskbar) so that they start to shake. Then drag the app (not too quickly) that you want to move and hold it so that it overhangs the edge of the screen - after a second or so the display should then change to the next screen and you can then place the app. You can also move apps via the Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes using the mini-screens that show on the tab.

Home screen Pages

HHow to add more home screen Pages ?

II'm not totally sure that I understand what you are asking, but if you mean home screens on the iPad and not new documents in the Pages app (?), you only get 11 home screens. After they are full, you cannot add more. You can create folders in order to save spaces on the home screens.
If you want to now how to manually add another home screen, just move apps to another screen or screens in order to add more home screens.

I have the same problem. After Mountain Lion was installed, my longstanding display configuration (MacBook Air coupled with large Dell monitor) will no longer allow app windows to be moved from the Air screen to the large display when the large display is configured on top of the Air. Only the side-by-side configuration works. Mouse can move above the Air menu bar, but not any app windows. Mirroring works as usual; this is the only problem. I've tried re-setting the display preferences, and I've also tried pairing with another (non-Apple) monitor. Same problem. Is this a known bug? Is there a fix on the way?

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.

How do I move apps from one page to another?

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

How do I move an app icon from one page to another?

I would like to organize my Ipad2 but can figure out how to move the app icon from one page to another.

Tap and hold down on an app icon until it wiggles. Then hold down on the icon and drag it about halfway over to the next screen and just hold it there for a second or two and the app will jump to the next page. Do it slowly and just hold the app on the edge of the screen. Don't try to drag it over quickly. It takes a little practice.
Tap the home button when you are done and the apps will stop wiggling.
