    Re: How to rearrange icons or move icons from one Home Screen to another on the iPad and iPhone

    First Method: Arranging icons between Home Screens.

    There is way by which you can move the icon on the home screen. For that press on an icon and keep holding it. Do not tap the same. The icon will start shaking. Then once you can see it shaking you can drag the icon to the current screen you have. Then you can move them to the place as you want and adjust the position as per preferences.

    You can also in the same way move the icon to different home screen. You can drag the icon to the another screen and simply leave the same on the screen. Then once done moving you can press the home button to stop the icon from shaking. So here there is no need to use any application and a simple drag and drop option works well. The same job becomes a bit tough when you have more applications.


    Drag the icon anywhere you want to place the others icons position themselves automatically to fill the page from top to bottom. To put the icon on another page, drag it while holding it to the edge of the page: you switch on a new page where you can drop the icon, otherwise, continue handling until the desired page is displayed and drop the icon. Use pages to group icons according to their priority, by frequency of use. Thus on page 1, place icons the most used, and switch the icons used less in the last pages.
    To create a new page: Go to the last page and flip an icon on the right side and placing it in a new page that will be all alone. To have quick access icons from the first page, press the Home button.

    Delete icon: remove an application

    By removing an icon, the associated application will be removed / uninstalled from your iPhone. To remove an application, press and hold any icon: your icons will start to tremble. Simply press the little X in the upper left to remove the application. Only the installed applications from App Store can be removed.


    Group Icons as per used:

    The dock is the bottom of your homepage where you can drop the 4 icons of the applications you use most. This allows easy access as the dock appears on all pages.
    • Press any icon on your home page: The icons will begin to tremble.
    • To place a new icon on the dock, you must move one of the icons on the dock to give way to another.
    • Drag an icon out of dock.
    • Drag the icon you want to place on the dock.

    Second Method: Arranging the icons via iTunes.

    This is the easiest way of arranging the icons by using iTunes. This is the best way of arranging the icons. For this you need iTunes on your system. Run iTunes and then click on the Device Category. In this select your device and you can see a summary screen now. You can then click on the Apps tab here and the tool will show you the list of apps installed on your iPad or iPhone.

    In the list of application you can choose the way you want to arrange or move your icons. You can see the list of all application installed. For that just click on the icon and move your move over the same. You have to click and select the same and do not leave the click. Move the same to the different location in iTunes and choose the place where want to put that. Remove the click. For arranging the icons an different screen you will need to first choose the icon on the home screen and then move the icon there.

    So this is just drag and drop work which will help you to rearrange your icons on the device. Once done you will need to click on apply button. The next time when you Sync your iPhone or iPad the settings will be applied on the device. Connecting your phone to iTunes will sync the settings and your icons will be placed on proper place.

    Working tips on iPad while surfing, Ebooks and Typing -

    On the iPad, the Inbox emails appear to the left of the screen. The software shows you the title of the email, the name of the author and two-line preview of the content. It is possible to increase this setting to preview five lines. Thus, in one glance, one can give priority to urgent messages. Go to Settings, click on the Overview tab and choose 5 lines.

    1. 30,000 free books :

    The iPad is pleasant to use to read eBooks. But at $ 9.99 each, or more, the price can climb quickly. The virtual store offers some titles iBook royalty-free, but it is by visiting the website of Project Gutenberg can fulfill its iPad free books. Joyce, Twain, Thoreau, Churchill: there are over 30,000 public-domain titles. In your computer, download the books in EPUB format and drag the files onto the iTunes icon.

The choice of e-books sold on Amazon is much larger than the Apple iBooks store.

    The selection of a passage of text can be laborious on the iPad. Type a word and it will be highlighted in blue. To insert a paragraph in full, the next move two small blue dots in order to expand the area highlighted. It is a frustrating exercise, but there is a solution. In the software for word processing pages, simply type the finger four times in the middle of a paragraph. It will automatically be highlighted.

    3. English Dictionary:

    Another advantage is not necessarily easy to discover the English dictionary included in the application iBooks. To build, place your finger on any word of a book, and a small menu will open. Simply select Dictionary to see a bubble containing the definition of the word.

    4. Show Virtual Keyboard:

    When you use an external Bluetooth keyboard (recommended for writing long documents), you probably will feel some frustration. For example, once the iPad recognizes the keyboard, there is still connected and you cannot use the virtual keyboard that appears usually on the screen. To display the virtual keyboard, tap the eject external keyboard.

    5. Six applications in the dock:

    Like the iPhone, it is possible to put in the dock (a kind of fixed menu at the bottom of the screen iPad) applications that are used most often. While the dock of the iPhone is limited to four applications, one of the iPad can hold six. To start shopping, keep your finger on an icon for a few seconds. The icons will then oscillate. You can move your finger and drag them into the dock.

    6. Send more photos:

    In iPhoto, you can select multiple photos to send in one email. The trick: first press the small arrow button in the upper right corner of the screen.

    7. Tips from the keyboard:

    The virtual keyboard of the iPad is quite pleasant to use, but some discomfort persists. To access the numbers or the apostrophe, you must click on the button. 123, which includes a secondary keyboard. To go faster, keep your finger on the button, and then drag it to the desired character. This trick also works for accents. Keep your finger on the (a), for example, and a choice of accents appear. Same thing with the key point, which gives the apostrophe. Double-click the space bar produces a dot and a space.

    8. Back to top of page:

    You read a long document and want to return to the top of the page quickly? Double-click the battery icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

    9. Reload the iPad from a computer:

    If your computer is several years old, the iPad show probably "no charging in progress" when you plug it. Only the newer USB ports are powerful enough to recharge the iPad. Never mind, let the iPad connected (off screen), and it will charge it anyway. It's longer, but it helps out when you have not you taken the wall of the iPad.

    10. Quick management of music:

    It is possible to quickly change the songs we listen to music on the iPad without leaving the application you use. Just double-click on the home while a song is playing. This action will bring up a menu.

    Conclusion:


    It is simply an App Icon (e.g. Mail App) must hold. After about 3 seconds to catch the icons wiggle. Now you can program with your finger on the screen. Programs that are out of the AppStore have been summoned to the side an X sign. If you press on it, the programs will be deleted. The deletion does not work for standard system / apps.

    Pressing on any icon and press on for about 2-3 seconds. Now catch the icon to shake. Select the icon to move and keep it pressed. Now you can move the icon with your finger to the desired location. When you have reached the goal, let go of the icon. You can the icon to a new page in which your whole slide to the right edge walks over to the rickety icon.
    Perhaps it would be but still very helpful to time the user manual to look more closely. Would be unfortunate if one is a lot of money for a great device, and then it can only use a fraction of the features. But sometimes you just overlook the simple things. It is the Nokia and Motorola, users must get used to the same and then you can configure a mobile phone service in a few steps, without having to dive in a menu.
