How can I create an 'empty' icon in iOS 9 which may contain several applications - such as the icon of "Extras" already existing in the iOS? That is to say something similar in the folder "Applications" in Mac OS?

Apologies in advance if this is a really stupid newbie question - I use Mac and Mac OS since 1985, but only got my first iPhone with iOS a few weeks ago so I'm still very few familiar with the iOS interface and its operation compared to Mac OS. So here's my question:

On my iPhone 5 c running iOS 9.0.2, there is an icon on the homescreen called 'Extras' which itself is not an application but rather that essentially works like an "empty folder" (according to the old metaphor of Mac OS) where you can 'drop' several apps. When I then click on the 'Extras' icon, a window opens showing me all the applications that are contained in this file/icon "Extras."

I really like how it works, because it simplifies "clutter of the icon" on my iPhone. But I'm frustrated that there seems to be an 'Extras' icon, and I can't find a way to create a new extra. Better yet, it would be great to be able to create several icons "empty folder" then I could rename each to my taste, each containing themes of all pooled applications (e.g. ' Radio/Music apps', ' drawing/art apps,' "maps/hiking apps," etc.).

So: Is there a way to create additional "icons" that work similarly to the 'Extras' in iOS icon 9? Thank you.

To create a new folder, press and hold icon til it wiggles, drag it to a different icon, a folder will be created automatically.

You can rename the folder.

Press the Home button again when you are finished.

Note: The folder will disappear if drag you applications.

You cannot create an empty folder.

    I want to create a slideshow of images to bicycle at random on autoplay, with a stationary flight that would manually determine an image change in this slide show.

    Is this feasible? Advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much!

    Hello

    With slide show, we cannot install effect hover for the passage of the image, but you can use the composition.

    Composition used triggers and Setup see the target on bearing and place the triggers just under the target window so that when users hover over them thumbnail images will automatically change.

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    If you're running Vista, you have Windows Mail, not Outlook Express. These instructions for adjustment of these two programs.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

    Laina

    I have run outlook express for my e-mail but don't have a junk folder; That's why I don't get e-mails I want; How can I create a junk mail folder so I can watch the e-mail program's filter? Thank you!

    OE downloads the messages from the server and has no capability of blocking incipient unless you set rules for such.  So if you get any messages, they are likely in junk e-mail on the server (that OE does not have access to) and you must go to Webmail to access the server, then you can go to the Junk folder and find messages that you do not receive.  OE has no control over the filtering server - you can adjust on the server via webmail.

    How can I create a send from Adobe icon on my desktop?

    You can easily create a desktop icon which is a shortcut to a website (in this case, https://cloud.acrobat.com/send).

    Rather than trying to give instructions for each operating system and browser, I recommend that you search the Web for 'shortcut to the Web site on the desktop' and you will find techniques to achieve this.

    I hope this helps!
