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.

  • 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.

  • 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!

  • 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

    Hi Velvalee,
    While there may not be specific information about that error, here is an article of steps for troubleshooting connectivity issues with the iTunes store:

    Welcome to the Apple forums.
    Good idea to fill out your profile so people can see what machine you are writing about.    
    Also a good idea to do a little research through the 'More like this' panel to the right of your initial post.    Each of the threads also contains more leads so it is amazing how much you can learn from them.
    Good hunting.

    It's an error message returned by the burner. You can see the full list of these error messages here
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_Code_Qualifier>
    It's not specific enough to pinpoint what caused it—it could be anything from a bad optical medium (CD-R) to a dusty or dying laser diode. You have to isolate the problem—use a different CD-R brand, try a different speed, use a different burn engine (eg, Burn), etc. If it occurs once or twice, randomly, it's more likely to be a bad disc. If it occurs consistently, and at the same stage of the burn process, it's more likely to be a drive or software issue.

    what does the flashing yellow light mean on my airport express?

    Open AirPort Utility, the application that you used to configure the AirPort Express and click Manual Setup.
    Click directly on the word "Status" (2nd line) and a window will open to tell you why the Express is complaining. What is the message?
    It might be a notification that an update is available for your Express.
