Hurrah! someone actually had some help dealing with the iPhone home screen. The Apple web site was less than helpful for a very new user.
Your site is now permanently bookmarked on my notebook.
Thank you.
OMG!! Yay!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’ve been trying all day to figure that out!!
WOW! This is the very first time I’ve been able to do this! I bookmarked this site it in case I forget how. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
thanks for posting this. I needed it!
This was GREAT. I hate the iPone website, it is of NO help. This has solved my frustration–THANKS
Yeah, thanks….I was about to smash this thing if it kicked it back over one more time. I didn’t realize you had to kinda hover at the screens edge for a bit for the next page to roll over.
Thanks so much for putting up this tip! :]
I’ve been trying forever to figure this out! Thank you! If my phone had a face, it would be laughing at me.
This should be a lot easier than is. I know HOW to do but still can’t do it. My fingers are too fat to type much less exercise this kind of fine motor control.
Thanks for the article. I learnt how to organize the icons.
Fantastic!!!!!! So easily explained brilliant!!!!!
