More people 'hang out' there - so hopefully someone will see this and have JUST the answer you need. I've taken the liberty of moving your post over to the Help section.

If it worked, I'd like to know and if it didn't, we'll take another stab at it. So, please, give it a try and then let us k ow how you get on. This is my first guess, given that again, I have not run across this before. Eventually, the homescreen will appear.Īfter you've done the first, and maybe the second, step, see if your apps have now appeared. Please note that it may take some time for the Apple logo to appear or for your homescreen to appear (or both). After a time, your homescreen will appear.

Once the logo appears, release the buttons. Reset: Hold both the power and home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo then appears (the slide to unlock screen may or may not appear). When the iPad finishes shutting down, hold down the power button again until the Apple logo appears. Restart: Hold down the power button until the power off slider appears. Have you tried a restart or a reboot (or both)? Apologies in advance if you already know how, but in case, to to: I never knew that freeing space up on the screens did not automatically make the ones that are not showing - show. I don't know how many apps may be missing, so Search doesn't help without knowing all the names. You can 'Search' for the app, but you have to know the name of the app. Because of the above two, I can not try uninstalling and reinstalling the apps.

If you go to the app's page in the store, it shows as Installed. They do not appear on the 'Purchased Apps' screen, either under 'All' or 'Not on This iPad'. How do I get the icons for the hidden apps to be moved back to a visible screen? Now that I have some icons in folders, I have free space on screens. I don't like folders but I am going to be forced to use them. If you remove an app which was displayed on a screen, it does not automatically move one of the 'hidden' apps to that free space. Once you reach 11 full screens, you can still install apps but their icons are not displayed. There is an 11 screen limit (I did not know this) When all screens are full of app icons and you download another app, a new screen is created and the icon is placed there.
