Why don't new apps appear on the first home screen page?

I like keeping a very minimal home screen (six folders and that's it). Every time I download new apps, they appear on a second page even though there are plenty of slots left on the first page. I then have to move them back - one by one - to the first page again and sort them into folders. Is this a bug, or is there some reason why it should work like this?

From my observation, what you're seeing is the way it works. I have a few empty slots on my first page. When I download apps, they don't go there. They go to whatever page after that has space. I suspect Philly_Phan is probably on to something. I know I only keep the things I use a lot on my first page. I wouldn't want it getting clutter with every free game I downloaded to try out.
You could submit a suggestion to Apple requesting that it work differently:

Best of luck.

HT201317 Why don't new photos appear in the photostream on my PC?

Why did new photos from my phone stop appearing on my PC, but continue to appear on my iPad?

There is no video folder on the home screen.
They should be in the videos app, listed under tv shows.

Why all newly installed Apps appear on the second page of Launchpad?

I'm new to Mac (1y now). Using 10.7.5 on my MacBook Air.
Every time I install an App it appears in the second page of Launchpad and since I don't want to have a second page, I move it back into one of my App groups on the first page, erase the empty page, and next time I install an App it happens again! What's wrong with the endless open space I still have on the first page? Why is that not good enough?

Slightly bumping because I believe I understand this strange phenomena...
It would appear that the iPhone allows you to create folders, but the device still treats these apps even when they are put in folders as if they take a "Space" on the homescreen. That being said if you have more than a few third party applications installed they would " if you were to unfolder all your apps" end up on the second page.
Please tell me I am wrong and this is a joke...

Why don't imported jpgs appear in the library?

I've imported jpg photos from my desktop. They appear in the PROJECTS list. I can label the faces. However, they do not show up as a project, nor in the photos nor in the faces, nor in the last imports. What's up? How do I fix the problem?

I can see how that can be confusing. Here's the full list of supported cameras for tethering. http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/tethered-camera-support-lightroom-4.html
Long story short, Adobe use the camera manufacturer's SDK, so support is usually waiting on Canon. They've recently updated their SDK but there are some crashes which they have yet to fix, before Adobe can do too much, so we don't have an idea on date yet, sorry.

Why don't some apps show up in my ITOUCH screen?

I have a couple of apps that I have had on my Itouch 3rd gen for quite a while. One day after I synced, they no longer showed up anywhere. The apps are still on the ITouch but I have to go to the search screen and type their name in order to access the program. When I go into Itunes, they appear on the apps screen, I can drag the icon around there and try to put it onto different pages with no problem, but when I sync, they still do not appear in my iTouch. Why would their icons not show up all of a sudden? I have tried reinstalling the apps several times and the same problem occurs. Thank you for your help.

Hello carolefromHP,
What options do you have enabled from under your iPod's Podcasts tab in iTunes? If you are unsure of where to find the Podcasts tab, see #6 from this Apple support document.

Downloaded apps appear as waiting on home screen but I can open them from the App Store. How do I fix this?

I bought a replacement iPhone 4 online because my old one broke about two months before my contract expires. I took it to Sprint to activate it, they reset the entire phone, activated, etc. I restored my phone from an iCloud backup (which I'd made right before going to Sprint), and now about half my apps have downloaded normally, while the other half say "Waiting" and can't be deleted (no X button). The strange thing is that if I go into the App Store and look at my purchased apps, the apps that say waiting can be opened and used by pressing the "Open" button there, so I know the app is downloaded and installed but the icons on the home screen are still greyed out and unusable. I've tried to reset my phone, restart my phone, redo the sync, and download the apps from iTunes, but nothing works. Any suggestions?

Tried that as well. The problem isn't that the apps aren't downloading, it's that the app icon is stuck on Waiting. I can actually open and use the apps from the App Store, but not from the home screen.
I'm adding photos to try help explain, though I'm not they'll show up well on since I'm on mobile.
THats the the home screen with useless icons
BUt if I search the App Store for one (like Buzzfeed)
IT it shows it being installed, and I can even open the app an use it. I would try to reinstall but I cant remove the apps.

Why won't some apps appear on the "Use cellular data for" list?

When I enter settings then go to cellular, not all the apps I have on my phone are appearing on that list. In my case, I am trying to turn off data for Twitch.tv and Mlg.tv but they aren't there! These apps use ALOT of data so I don't want to be using my limited amount in case my wifi ever cuts out. Any help is appreciated.

Many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

How can I view (and cancel) downloads that are waiting to begin? Why don't pending downloads appear on the downloads list (marked as "Pending" or "Waiting for other downloads to complete" or ...) ? In general, Firefox is a great browser. Thanks!

I'm using Firefox 7.0.1 and Windows Vista Home Premium (SP2).

Can you try the following for me.
Run the microsoft fix it and have it uninstall AIR
Delete the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe AIR (this might also be in Program Files(x86))
Delete the folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
Delete the folder: C:\Users\chris\AppData\Local\Adobe\AIR
Install AIR 3.2 by itself, from: http://airdownload.adobe.com/air/win/download/3.2/AdobeAIRInstaller.exe
Install Adobe Community Help from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/chc/air/350/AdobeHelp.air
Does the AdobeHelp.air file install if you double click it?

Why isn't my review appearing in the App Store?

I've been trying to write (and re-submit, wondering if something went wrong in the process several times) a (scathing) review for Ulysses III for the past few weeks, and while I see new reviews appearing for the app and I'm able to submit (and edit) my reviews for other apps, it isn't working for this particular app. In fact, I was quite frustrated the first few times as I first ran into this problem while trying to edit a review that I wrote for it that I thought was properly posted only to be greeted with completely blank text boxes upon clicking "Write A Review." (Because of this, I've started the habit of copying/saving the reviews I write for apps. Very frustrating.)
Why isn't this working? I spent $45 on this app that does not handle large documents well and would like others to know that very badly so they don't do the same if they plan on writing manuscripts—which is, as I learned tonight (and thus was reminded about this whole thing), what this particular app is being advertised for in the App Store.
Please help.

Suggest you link with iTunes store support and ask what has happened.
Apple - Support - Topic Selection >>> Other iTunes store topics seems best.

Why don't my photos appear as they do in iPhoto on my Apple Computer. Even though I specify to sync all Events, Faces, etc. the iPad 2 is missing Faces categories and the Events are in a different order.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

Why don't my tones appear on my iphone after the ios update?

After updating my phone to the iOS 6.0 I can't find the tones I downloaded (to the phone), even though iTunes shows them in the "Tones" page and they even appear on the "On this iPhone" page in iTunes...but they are not in the tones list on the phone. Where are they?

i just ran the diagnostic in itunes and it says that itunes doesn't find any usb ports. they're clearly there and working. thought i'd add the info just to see if anyone had a clue as to what was going on.

I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones.

Hi!
I've just updated my iPad to iOS 7.02 and I'm not able now to download new apps nor update the version of the existing ones. All of them are "waiting"... for ever.Even, when trying to download a new app, a "dratf" icon appears on the ipad, not the app's own icon...
I've tried to switch off and on the iPad, disconnect and reconnect the itunes id... and nothing works. Even deleting an app, to download it again, doesn't work. It even doesn't ask for my password!!! (Stays with the small square with a circle around, the one that gets "bolder" while downloading... but it doesn't get bolder now. Just stay...).
Any suggestions? I wouldn't like to reset the iPad, since I've got data in some apps that I wouldn't like lo loose...
By the way, I can not either delete some apps with thos "draft" icons... even when the alert that appears when trying to do that is shown and select "ok".
Thank you in advance!
Best Regards,
Carlos.

Hi,
Thank you, Once_was_lost, but it doesn't work either. I tried it yesterday as an option (I think you're referring to the options of those apps in the settings app).
The problems are still here... I've been able to update some apps using the PC itunes (connecting the app to it), but all the other apps are still "wating", and I have two new strange things:
* I cannnot remove the apps that are downloading (at least those that are supposed to be downolading ) . But I could remove one from the PC... and now there is an "empty line" in the "to update apps list".
* Stranger: though I cannot download new apps or music from the store, I can do in-app purchases!!! In that case, I'm asked for the password and the item downloads. How is it possible?????
I can download with the same user in the PC, in the iPhone... but not in the iPad .
I'm getting mad...

I "reply"ed to an e-mail message. The next time when I chose to write a new message and type the first letter of the person I replied to earlier, that name and e-mail address appears as a choice included in a pop up list of my contacts.

The persons name is not in my contacts and I would like to delete it from popping up. Do you know how I can do this?

The Mail app on the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch does have an option to clear previous recipients. You can learn to live with it. But if you want to get rid of it, the only way to remove these cached email addresses from the Mail application is restoring the iPhone/iPod Touch as a new phone/iPod. If you restore from backup, the cache is also restored.
