Customizing the Home screen
You can customize the layout of icons on the Home screen—including the Dock icons along
the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them across multiple Home screens. You can also
organize apps by grouping them in folders.
Rearranging icons
You can change the location of icons on the Home screen, change the items in the Dock, and
group items in folders.
Rearrange the Home screen: Touch and hold any icon on the Home screen until it jiggles, then
drag items to new locations. When you finish, press the Home button .
Move an icon to another screen While it’s jiggling, drag an icon to the side of the screen.
Create additional Home screens While the icons are jiggling, flick to the rightmost Home screen, then drag an
icon to the right edge of the screen. You can create up to 11 Home screens.
Reset the Home screen to the
default layout Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout.
Resetting the Home screen removes any folders you’ve created and applies
the default wallpaper.
Rearrange your Home screens
using iTunes Connect iPod touch to your computer, select iPod touch in the iTunes
Devices list, then click Apps at the top of the screen.
You can also add links to your favorite webpages on the Home screen. See “Web clips” on page 71.
Organizing with folders
You can use folders to organize items on your Home screens. You can put up to 12 items in a
folder. iPod touch names a folder when you create it, based on the icons you use to create the
folder, but you can change the name anytime you want. Like icons, folders can be rearranged
by dragging them around the Home screen. You can move folders to a new Home screen or to
the Dock.
Create a folder: Touch and hold an icon until the Home screen icons begin to jiggle, then drag an
icon onto another icon and release.
