Adding app icon to bottom row

NOt sure what it's called on iPad but I want to add some apps to the "always there" row along the bottom of the screen where the Apple stuff is. Is this possible? And what's the proper term for that row?


THank you so much for helping me out. I know just enough to get by and end up having to ask a lot of questions.

thanks again!

Ipad, iPhone OS 3.1.3

That area is called the dock. Yes you can add and remove apps to the dock but you can not have more than 5 apps in the Dock.


Tap and hold down on an app icon until all of the apps wiggle on the screen. Then hold down on the app that you want to move and drag it where you want it to be places.You can move one app out of the dock and add another app in its place. You can also add a folder of apps into the dock. You create a folder of apps by moving one wiggling app on top of another wiggling app. After you are done moving apps, tap the home button to stop,the apps from wiggling.


Just remember that you only have 5 spaces in the dock so if you want to have more than 5 apps accessible in the dock, create folders and place the folders in the dock.
