Page 1 of 2 If you have a lot of apps on your iPhone, it can be difficult to arrange the home screen icons on your device. This article will show you how to use iTunes on your computer to easily arrange home screen icons on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Why Not Arrange Icons on the iPhone? The iPhone has the capability to arrange icons on the home screen.

Simply hold a finger down on an icon until all of the icons start to wiggle. Next, drag icons into place or on top of each other to create a new folder. You can delete apps by pressing the “x” on the top left corner of the icon. When you’re done, tap the home button and your iPhone will exit edit mode.

If you’ve tried doing this, you’ll know that it’s not always easy. When you move one icon into place, another may slide somewhere else, often to an undesired location.

Then you have to move it back, which can cause another one to move. It can also be difficult to move icons between different home screens. Fortunately, you can use iTunes on your Mac or PC to arrange icons on the home screens.

Using iTunes to Arrange Home Screen Icons This article assumes that you have downloaded and installed iTunes on your Mac or PC. IOS devices no longer require iTunes to function, but the software is a great accompaniment to any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. In addition to managing your device, iTunes can also backup your device and move documents onto your computer. It’s also a great place to store iTunes music, movies and TV shows so they don’t take up space on your iOS device. You can even import music or video into iTunes and sync it onto your device. This article also assumes that you have set up WiFi sync or have connected your device to iTunes with a dock-to-USB cable.

First, launch iTunes and wait for the application to find your iOS devices. If you are using WiFi sync, this should happen automatically. Otherwise, you will need to connect your device to your computer using a dock-to-USB cable. Next, click on the “Devices” button on the top right of the screen, in the toolbar. Click on the device you would like to manage. The summary screen for your iPhone will appear. From the summary screen, click on the “Apps” tab in the top toolbar. ITunes will sync with your iOS device and display every app that is installed on the left.

On the right, you will see the home screens and folders. With this user interface, it’s possible to arrange icons on the home screens, create folders and rename folders.

How is the Gold Competency Level Attained?

You can increase the size of the home screens displayed by sliding the control located just above the “Home Screens” label. This may make it easier to view what you have installed on your iPhone. This gives you a bird’s-eye view of your apps, making it easier to arrange them. Share This Page.

If the app still doesn't appear, take your device in to Apple. Another possibility is that iOS has undergone unauthorized modifications, just one reason jailbreaking is a bad idea.

Under these circumstances Apple will not help. More info and unjailbreak instructions are available. Missing FaceTime App You may have tried the above suggestions and still do not see the FaceTime app. One possibility is that you have an iPhone. F aceTime is not an app on the iPhone unless you are running iOS 7 or later. Instead, it is accessed under the Contacts app, by selecting a contact.

By scrolling to the bottom of the contact, you should see a FaceTime button. This applies to iOS 6 and earlier; in iOS 7, there is a FaceTime icon on the home screen for iPhone. Another possibility is that the device was purchased in a country where FaceTime is restricted, like many Middle Eastern countries. If purchased in one such country, there is no way to add FaceTime, even if you move to a country where it is not restrict ed. You would need a device that originated from a country where it is allowed. Also, if you reside in a country where it is banned, but purchase an iPhone that was imported, you will not be able to use it while in that country once you insert a local SIM card.

Also make sure you have a compatible dev ice. Only the iPhone 4 and later, iPod touch ( 4th generation) and later, and iPad 2 and later have FaceTime (since they have front-facing cameras). If you have an app that you downloaded from the App Store that does not appear on the home screen, but also cannot be reinstalled from the App Store (if it displays 'Installed' or 'Open'), there are a couple other techniques to try. One is to try to make more room on the home screen by grouping apps into folders. In iOS 6 and earlier, the home screen is limited to 11 pages, including the first page which usually contains the built-in apps.

Any apps installed after the limit is reached will not appear on the home screen, but can still be accessed. We recommend grouping apps into folders in order to free up room for more icons on the home screen. For instructions on creating folders, see:.
