Taking Icons out of a Folder
After you have created a folder that contains two or more app icons, you can always
take an app icon out of a folder and place it back on the desktop. To remove an
icon from a folder, follow these steps:
1. Tap the folder icon that you want to modify. The contents of the folder
appear underneath the folder icon (see Figure 7-3).
2. Tap and hold your finger on the app icon that you want to move out of the
folder. The app icons start wriggling.
3. Drag the icon out of the folder and on to the desktop.
4. Press the Home button to stop all your app icons from wriggling.
Putting Apps on the Dock
At the bottom of the screen, your iPad initially displays four app icons (Safari, Mail,
Photos, and Music). This area acts like the Dock in Mac OS. It displays its apps at all
times, even if you switch to a different Home screen pane. If you find yourself using
certain apps all the time, you may want to place those apps on this Dock area so
they will always be available. You can put up to six applications on the Dock.
Adding App Icons to the Dock
To add an app icon to the Dock, follow these steps:
1. At the Home screen, touch and hold the app icon that you want to move to
the Dock. All your app icons start wriggling. You can release your finger.
2. Drag the app icon to the Dock and then lift your finger off the screen. Your
app now appears on the Dock.
3. Press the Home button to stop all your app icons from wriggling.
Q NOTE: You can also put folders on the Dock.
Taking App Icons off the Dock
If you find that you don’t use certain apps on the Dock very often, you can always
move them off the Dock by following these steps:
1. At the Home screen, touch the app icon that you want to move off the Dock
until all your app icons start wriggling.
2. Drag the app icon off the Dock, move the app icon anywhere on the screen,
and then lift your finger off the screen.
3. Press the Home button to stop all your app icons from wriggling.
