 * Handout in .pdf format outlining the steps to customize the home screen**: [|iPads-Customize Home.pdf]

//iPad users can customize the placement of applications on the home screen--including the ones located in the "dock."//

** To Begin Customizing Your Home Screen: ** 1. Turn on your device.

2. On the Home Screen **tap and hold on any application icon** until they begin to “jiggle” and you can see an **“x” in the top left corner.** (see the device home screen at right with an “x” in each corner of the apps)

3. Once the application icons are jiggling, you can **delete an application by tapping the “x” in the top left corner**. A prompt window will appear confirming you want to delete the app. Confirmation will remove the app from the iPad.

4. While the app icons are still jiggling, you can **drag the “jiggling app icons” anywhere** on the screen/page, to the dock or even to another screen/page by dragging left or right. > 5. To accept the changes and stop the application icons from wiggling, **press the home button once.**
 * The other apps will “scoot” out of the way to make way for the new placement---try it!
 * You can create up to 11 screens of application icons
 * The dots above the “dock” indicate how many screens you currently have and which one you are on.
 * Your “dock” can hold up to six apps (even though it begins with four—safari, mail, photo gallery, music)
