Issue with new folder but no name

That doesn't work if there is no name to begin with.

This is a known bug if you are trying to create a folder using any app from the food and beverage category to create your folder. Who knows, there may more categories now. You'll create a folder with them and not only is there no name, there is no name field. The repeated advice Apple support gives us is to just hit return and enter a new name. This, of course, is like telling somebody to change channels on their modern TV using the knob if they can't find the remote. What knob? Since there is no name field, there is no keyboard, there is no return, there is no nothing. It's a very frustrating bug, and another one that Apple doesn't acknowledge (much like the repeated ipad4-with-retina crashes with the latest version of ios 7) even though many many users know about it. However, there is something you can do to get your name field.

To work around it, take any two game apps and make a folder using them. Then rename the folder anyway you want, add your food and beverage apps (or whatever app isn't working with the naming), and then remove the games.

to anyone else having this issue, please ignore the other answers. The issue is easily resolved. Once you have created a new folder, tap it once to enlarge it and then tap the area directly above the folder, you will then see a text cursor appear. Then enter Desired name.

Apple refuse to acknowledge this is a bug because it is not. I have posted the correct way of creating a folder name, no matter the apps being used in it.

Thank you
