At first glance, the iTunes 9.0.2 update offered very little for iPhone and iPod touch users to get excited about besides the dark gray background option for the Grid View. But that’s just at first glance, because TUAW discovered that Apple tweaked iTunes’ app management system to go beyond 180 apps.
iTunes 9.0.2 doesn’t just mirror your 11 visible iPhone pages, it now lets you go well beyond that. If you have more than 11 pages worth of apps, as many of you app addicts certainly do, iTunes 9.0.2 now displays those extra apps on grayed-out pages. So now if you want to hide Apple’s Stocks or Weather apps, you can easily do so via iTunes app management.
Don’t forget that those hidden apps can still be launched via Spotlight just in case you may actually need them again some day.
This isn’t working for me, when I go to sync it, it just throws my apps back to my first page…hhhmmm?
Finally I can hide apps?! Sweet. Now if I could only remember what apps I have stashed on those hidden pages. Glad I didn’t miss this tip. Thanks Tyler, that’s worth a retweet!
Good start. I prefer Apple to update the iPhone OS to support at least 25 pages of apps. Apple, are you listening?
NO JB REQUIRED! I get 16 pages by using this tactic!
If u wanna make iPhone show more than 11 pages, just drag an app from the first page (must be a default app. eg. voice memos, weather…etc) to the last page. Then drag another app from either page 2~9 and the default app you drag will be place into the next page which you can’t see. At last, drag an app from second page and fill up the empty space of the default app. Before restarting your iPhone, check! your first page has to be full, also the last page. After all the double check, restart your iPhone or iPod Touch. You’ll get an extra page! Enjoy!
P.S. Remember not to use iTunes to mange your app’s position, or you will get back to 11 pages!
