Best suggestion on the whole page,!! BUT, APPLE should make it so the screen order can be changed easily

Totally agree that removing this functionality from iTunes was a stupid decision on Apple’s part. That such a basic feature is missing from iOS is baffling. They turned what should be a really simple task into a major pain in the *ss.

You don't rearrange the screens themselves, you rearrange the icons on the screen. So if you want page 3 to move to page 2, you move the icons for page 2, let's say to page 4, and then the icons from page 3 to the now empty page 2 and then the icons from page 4 to page 3.

You can't change the screens per se, but you can move the app icons from screen to screen and that will, in effect, change the order of the home screens.


Hold down on an icon until it wiggles, then drag the app over to the edge of the screen and just hold it about halfway over on the edge of the screen - unti the icon "jumps" over to the next screen. Move all of your apps to the screens that you want them to appear on and when you are done, tap the home button to stop the apps from wiggling.


If you sync with iTunes, you can move your appsfrom screen to screen in the apps tab of iTunes when the iPad is connected to your computer, when iTunes is running and with the iPad selected under "devices".
