iPhone 101: Where did I put that app?

<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="1" height="295" hspace="4" src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/2004/iphone101findyourapps23.jpg" vspace="4" width="400" /></div><br /> Once you have a fair number of apps on your iOS device, you might find that you occasionally "lose" an app somewhere in the pages and/or folders of your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Handily, there's a trick for locating that app using iTunes. I consider myself a seasoned iTunes/iPhone user, and this simple little tip was a surprise to me. It might be to you, too!<br /> <br /> Connect your device to your computer and let it show up under "Devices" in iTunes. Select the device and click on the "Apps" tab of the info panel. You'll see a list of all of your apps on the left, and a rendering of your device's screens (pages) on the right. All you need to do is double-click an app on the left to see exactly what page it's on, and in what folder, if you've organized that way.<br /> <br /> <strike>Now, if only Apple hadn't removed the search field on the apps list. I've accumulated a decent app library, and scrolling that list is a <i>pain</i>, but at least I'll be able to find the apps <i>on</i> my device now.</strike> As commenters & colleagues have pointed out -- and as we've mentioned before -- the iTunes-wide search field at the top right of the window now serves double duty as a search tool for applications that you've bought/downloaded. Sorry for the misdirection!<br /> <h6></h6><a href="http://www.tuaw.com/tag/iphone101">Source</a>
