Dragging your finger to scroll doesn’t choose or activate anything on the screen.
Flick to scroll quickly.
You can wait for the scrolling to come to a stop, or touch anywhere on the screen to stop it
immediately. Touching the screen to stop scrolling doesn’t choose or activate anything on the
screen.
To quickly scroll to the top of a list, webpage, or email message, tap the status bar at the top of the
screen.
Rearranging App Icons
You can customize the layout of app icons on the Home screen—including the icons in the Dock along
the bottom of the screen. If you want, arrange them over multiple Home screens.
Rearrange icons:
Touch and hold any icon until the icons jiggle.
Arrange the icons by dragging them.
Press the Home button to save your arrangement.
Create additional Home screens:
While arranging icons, drag an icon to the right edge of the screen until a new screen appears. You can
return to a previous screen and drag more icons to the new screen. You can have up to 11 screens. The
dots above the Dock show the number of screens you have, and which screen you’re viewing.
Go to a different Home screen: Flick left or right, or tap to the left or right of the row of dots.
Go to the first Home screen: Press the Home button.
Reset the Home screen to its original layout: Choose Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset
Home Screen Layout.
Organizing with Folders
Folders let you organize icons on the Home screen. You can put up to 20 icons in a folder. iPad 2
automatically names a folder when you create it, based on the icons you use to create the folder, but you
can change the name. Rearrange folders by dragging them on the Home screen or by moving them 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, and then drag
the icon onto another icon.
o iPad 2 creates a new folder that includes the two icons, and shows the folder’s name. You
can tap the name field to enter a different name.
o When you finish organizing your Home screen, press the Home button to save your
changes.
Note: Many apps, such as Mail and the App Store, display a badge on their Home screen icon with
a number (to indicate incoming items) or an exclamation mark (to indicate a problem). If the app is
in a folder, the badge appears on the folder as well. A numbered badge shows the total number of
items you haven’t attended to, such as incoming email messages and updated apps to download.
An alert badge indicates a problem with the app.
Searching
You can search iPad 2‘s built-in apps, including Mail, Calendar, iPod/Music Player, Video, Notes, and
Contacts. Search an individual app, or search all the apps at once using Spotlight.
