I was trying to organize the applications on my iPad and realized that I could not move the icons between screens like I did in the past. Something must have changed since then but here is how to do it:

  1. Start on the screen that the icon is located on and hold your finger on it until it begins to wiggle and it shows a little x in the upper left hand corner.
  2. Touch and hold your finger on the icon and slowly drag it to the left or right edge of the screen depending which screen you want to move it to. The longer you hold it on the edge, the more screens move by for you to put it on.
  3. Once you have your icons where you want them, push the button at the bottom middle of the iPad to save them.
