I've only used hubby's iPad a few times, but I remember pressing on an icon until this "X" appeared, and all the other icons wiggled (and scared me to pieces because I thought I'd broken his new iPad!). Then I held onto that icon and dragged it to the side and the next screen was visible and I dropped the icon where he wanted it.
But my memory could be all wrong here.

I know how to do it but don't allow me to change screen...
Thanks

I've always found the sideways movement to be tedious and frustrating. Two other ways:
- 1. Use iTunes with the iPad connected, of course. Just select you iPad in the left-hand column (should be in the "DEVICES" list. Now, select the "Apps" tab. You should now see a list of all the apps (and whether they are installed or not). Just to the right of that list should be a miniature display of all screen you have. You can select an app on one screen and drag it to another screen (that has enough room).*
2. Drag the icon to the bottom 'bar' (assuming you don't already have four icons down there. Now change to the screen you want and drag the app off that bottom 'bar.'
- 1. Double-click the screen containing the app you want to move (that screen will enlarge for your viewing pleasure)
2. Click and hold the app you want to move
3. Drag it to the screen you want

Usually dragging an icon to the left of the screen, slide to the second one but that seems to have stop working
Dragging the icon to the bottom bar is ok for moving

How often do you make a backup?
Post by: ADSR on June 26, 2014, 03:06:10 AM
Back up about once a month.

Have you installed any new apps in the last few months?
Do you have any apps that are not up-to-date?

Here are two different sites where others have reported having the same problem.
- <MacRumors: Can't move apps between screen>
<Apple Support Communities: Can not move my apps to different screen the usual way on my new iPad 2?!>
<Apple Support Communities: How do you move icons from one page to another?>
<Apple Support Communities: Re: Icons won't move with iPad 2>
A computer will usually do what you ask it, but it sometimes needs your help.Interweb searching is a great tool for problem solving... Apple's Support Community is a great place to start with an absolutely huge number of problems/solutions.

Bad interface design? Probably. Bug? Not really. Same machine/hardware works for people with slightly different sized fingers and/or timing.
