Updated to ios5, but cannot move icons on homescreen

I updated my ipod touch to newest ios5.1. When I go to the device screen, it won't show or let me move the icons on my screens anymore.

What is the device screen? I just updated and wheb I touch abd hold any app they all startto wiggle and I can then move them. Haveyou tried resetting your iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Updated to iOS5 but no camera icon on lock screen as promised???

I just updated to iOS5 on my iphone 4 and there is no camera icon on the lock screen as the update said there would be....is this a glitch or what is going on? Anyone else have the same problem or a solution?

its not on the basic lock screen
double tap the home button like you are changing songs playing, and the camera icon appears then.

Go back to that article, ignore the instructions for updating it wirelessly, scroll down, and follow those for updating it from iTunes on a computer.

I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

I rented a movie on my iPad but cannot move it to my computer to watch on tv via Apple tv. How do I transfer the rented movie to my computer?

I just rented a movie from my iPad2 and tried to play it through my ATV2 with AirPlay and same problem.... This is absurd guys. Apple I know there are copyright hoops to jump through but come on!! The whole pitch behind AirPlay and AppleTV was to make it easy to watch my purchases on my TV no matter what device they were on. Now I've got to hold my iPad in front of my face to watch a movie for nearly 3 hours!! And when I go to the support site I have no option other than to send an email to billing, screw this. I've not bought a DVD since I purchased my ATV2 over a year ago but if you guys are gonna pull this crap then what incentive do I have to continue the use of something that may or may not work the way it was advertised.
By the way, this is the first time I've had this problem because I normally rent straight off the ATV or my computer, which by the way I was considering replacing my PC with an iPad but looks like you guys aren't ready for me to make that kind of a switch.
Don't tell us that a product will do XY and Z then put limits on Y sending to Z.
FIX THIS!!!

I just updated to ios5 but now can't sync because it's telling me my "other" section in the overview has grown to 10.2gig?! What does that "other" section in the overview include and how can I reduce it to get my phone to sync??

Thanks for the help. The restore seems to have solved the problem. I had a bit of a panic attack when things started going haywire and the Apple 'Support' told me to call back during business hours!

Download pandora radio and set up account but cannot find icon to start

Installed pandora radio on ipad2 and set up account but cannot find icon to click and start pandora

Do a Spotlight search. If you see it there, then it is probably hidden. Connect to iTunes and you should find it in a hidden screen--like 10 or 11. Just drag it back to a visible screen.

HT203167 I downloaded diamond twister full version but cannot see icon on IPAD2, when I go to install page, it is mentioned installed. This application was for Iphone

I downloaded Diamond Twister full version on IPAD2 but cannot locate icon on my iPad, the application was actually for IPhone. Previously lite version was ok.

You've checked all your homescreens and app folders for it, and how many homescreens do you have on the iPad - there is a limit of 11 after which apps are only accessible via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right).
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? 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. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange your apps and might make it easier to find

Old computer crashed - have iPhone 4, want to update to iOS5, but need help.

I'm hoping someone can help me. My old computer crashed, and had to get a new one. I lost my iTunes, and didn't have a back-up. The only place I have the data is on the phone itself. I had to re-install iTunes on my new computer, and I want to update to iOS5, but I'm worried I'll lose everything on my iPhone, as I don't have a back-up. How do I take the data (pictures, contacts, email, etc.) from my phone and put it on my computer, so I can update to iOS5, and have a back-up in case I lose it? I already transferred the purchases, so I have all of my apps on my new iTunes, but I don't want to lose any other data. I have Windows XP and an iPhone 4.
Thanks for any help or advice - I appreciate it!

I am trying to update to iOS5, but after the download completes, I get an error message "There was a problem downloading the software for my iPad2. The network connection timed out." Any suggestions?

I am trying to update to iOS5 on my iPad 2, but after the download completes, and file processing starts, I get an error message "There was a problem downloading the software ... the network connection timed out." Diagnostic tests check out OK. Any suggestions?

Temporarily disable your firewall and security software and see if that helps.

I can see my photos but cannot move them anywhere or do anything with them

I transferred photos as I have always done from my digital camera to Iphoto. After transferring the photos I deleted them from my camera. I can see the photos in Iphoto but I cannot move them anywhere, I cannot download them e.g. to send with an email, I cannot change them in any way, I cannot delete them.
I thought I had done something wrong so I shot two more photos and put them onto my laptop exactly as before. These photos are fine and can be moved around as always. What now???

Hi again
That was a great help. Thank you so much. I could open "Show original file" on approx. half of the photos (there were 49 in all). I have been able to save those to my desktop. They were not copied and are now no longer in the original file.
But it gets even stranger. When I right click on the others (20 in all) "Show original file" is not active and when I click on show file they are not in there. These I can not move in any folder whether "all photos" or events so are still lost to me at the moment. All the photos were taken from my camera at the same time. Do you have any more wonderful ideas?... Glinda11

Updated to iOS5, but do not see Multitasking Gestures under Settings menus.

Having updated to iOS5, I do not see Multitasking Gestures in my Settings/General menu, where it is supposed to be.
Anyone else having this problem?

I'm not sure that you can enable gestures via xcode on iOS 5 on the first gen iPad - I've seen articles that imply that it's no longer possible

After updating to the new ios i can Undock ipad but cannot move it across the screen anymore! I'm using the ipad 3. Help anyone??

Hello
After updating to the new iOS on my ipad 3 I find that I can no longer move the undocked keyboard across the screen to my desired location as I used to. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Here's the writeup from the iOS 6 Manual for iPad about moving and splitting the keyboard:
Keyboard layouts
On iPad, you can type with a split keyboard that’s at the bottom of the screen, or undocked and in the middle of the screen.
Adjust the keyboard: Touch and hold , then:
Use a split keyboard: Slide your finger to Split, then release.
Move the keyboard to the middle of the screen: Slide your finger to Undock, then release.
Return to a full keyboard: Slide your finger to Dock and Merge, then release.
Return a full keyboard to the bottom of the screen: Slide your finger to Dock, then release. Turn Split Keyboard on or off: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard.

I cannot move icons to the home screen

Pardon me if this is old, but I cannot find it here via search. I'm new to iPhone, having had Windows phones, Palm, and others in the past. Just picked this up today. Slick. It even makes AT&T look better. Here's my question.
I understand tap and hold to make the icons jiggle, then drag. Only problem is, I can move them to the right but not to the left--to the home screen. For example, I moved one of the default home screen icons to the second screen, leaving a hole. Now I'm trying to move an icon from the second screen into the hole I created. I can drag to the right and create a new screen, but it will not break through to the left onto the home screen.
Any clues as to what I might be doing wrong? Thanks.
Bill

OK. My bad. I searched again and found it. Drag to the edge and hold it there for a couple seconds, and then it moves. Please excuse the ring.

HT4623 I am trying to update my 3GS but cannot find "software update" in general settings. Am I missing something?

I am new to the iphone world and have an older model (iphone 3GS). I need to download ios5 and have checked out how to's but they all tell me to go to settings-general-software update. I cannot find "software update" anywhere. Please help!!!!

Yes. You missed the part of that article which explains how to update it from iTunes on a computer; since it's running an iOS version prior to 5, it must be done from there.

Iphone 3GS Updated to IOS5, but Contacts from another phone / instance applied to the phone after update!!!

Hi
I updated my Iphone 4 to the latest IOS5 software and selected to backup to the cloud. This worked a treat. I did the same on my IPAD and this worked to,
I then updated my wifes Iphone 3GS to the same IOS5 software. It said it was backing up the phone and it proceeded to continue with the download. Once the loading of the software was complete, I then went through the process of setting up the iCloud settings on the 3GS phone and selected to merge the data and used my Apple Account, as we share this account.
Now complete the contacts are incorrect, as they phone now has all my contacts on it and my wife's are missing / have been overwritten. This is a major issue as I cannot seem to recover these.
I can plug the phone back into ITunes and run a restore but its telling me to restore to factory settings. Where is the backup iTunes did as part of the software update and or how can I recover the contacts that are relevant to my wifes phone and not mine as she cannot use her phone with my contacts.
I have since turned the contacts off on her phone and removed these so they do not appear and sync with the cloud, but I depserately need to get these back as they are required for her work.
Many thanks
Stuart

Having the exact same problem. Just got an iPhone 3G S for christmas, and i can't use it.
Maybe try down-grading it so you can at least add contacts and change settings? i havent done it but you could try.
