Hi Alan, Chris and Anna already pointed out some of what you can do. Here is a few more tips:
Instead of swiping left to right or right to left, do a 1-finger swipe up or down on the control that says Page 1 of 2, adjustable. As Chris and Anna mention, there are the other methods, here are all 3 methods: 1. Do a 3-Finger swipe from right to left anywhere on the screen to go from home page 1 to page 2, swipe again to go to page 3 etc. Swipe from left to right to go back. Think of it in terms of turning over a page in a book, the motion is you reach right to the edge of the page and then move your hand left to turn the page over to the next page. Going back you reach to the left and turn the page to the right. The right to left 3-finger swipe mimics that right to left movement when you go forward a page and vice versa. 2. Find the Page control above the dock. Do a 1-finger swipe up to advance a page and a 1-finger swipe down to go back a page. 3. Find the page control and double tap on it to advance by 1 page. This allows you to advance, but you can't go back. Pressing the Home Key will always take you back to page 1. If you are on the last page, i.e. let's say you have 3 home pages with apps and you are on page 3, any of the gestures (a 3-finger swipe right to left, a 1-finger swipe up or a double tap will open the "Spotlight Search" page. You can also get there by pressing the Home Key if you are on the first home page. You can go to "Settings", "General" and "Spotlight Search" to make changes as to which items you want to include in the search and in which order they should appear. For example, you can include contacts, music, apps etc. If you include contacts and have Contacts at the top, then if you type something the first search results will be for contacts. Example: I have Contacts as the first category, apps as my second and music as my third. If I type "Sky", I find 2 contacts because even though they don't have the letters "Sky" in their first or last names, one of them lives on "Skyline Crescent" and for the other contact I typed his Skype User Name into the Notes field in Outlook which gets synced to the iPhone. Under apps I find "Skype and "Skydrive" Under music I find a lot because I have songs like "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", but I also have an album called "Blue Sky, Night Thunder" and it will list all songs on that album. I also find a Reminder called "Review my Skype subscription" This Spotlight Search function is quite powerful and while I don't use it a lot, it's very useful at times. Whatever you search for also stays in the search field so if, for example, I double tap on one of the contacts that shows up in the search, it opens that contact, but I can go back to Spotlight Search and whatever I searched for is still there including all the results. If I double tap a song it plays, if I double tap an app it will open. Lastly, your Contacts app is most likely in the Utilities folder. If you have one, double tap on it and it will open and you can review the apps in it. If you have an iPhone 5 you can have up to 16 apps in a folder and up to 20 on each home screen + the 4 in the dock. Each folder will say how many apps are in it, for example, Voiceover might say "Utilities, 5 apps". If it says something like "Utilities, 5 apps, 2 new items" this means that one of the apps in the Utilities folder has notifications, it could be that your Reminders app is in the utility folder and you have set 2 reminders which haven't been checked off as completed or deleted. You can also move your apps from one home screen to another or create folders. The short explanation of this is as follows: Assume you want to move the App Store app. Find it, then double tap and hold on the second tap until you hear a triple tone and Voiceover says "Moving App Store". Now drag your finger around the screen, let's say App Store is on the third row of apps and in third place from the left and you want to move it to the top row and the very left position. After it says "Moving App Store", move your finger straight up and Voiceover will say if you are on another app or if you are on an empty spot it will say the position, e.g. row 2, column 2. I usually go straight up or down, then left or right. This is one of the gestures which takes some practicing because if you accidently lift your finger while you are on another app, say Calendar, you will create a folder and both the Calendar and App Store apps will be in that folder. iOS will automatically name the folder according to the category of the app you are moving, e.g. if you are moving Ootunes which would be in the "Music" category" onto "weater" which has the "Weather category", the folder will automatically be named "Music". You can change the folder name manually. To move an app from home screen 2 onto home screen 1, double tap and hold the app, then move your finger towards the left edge of the phone. If you reach the desired spot Voiceover will announce that and then you just hold still for a second or 2 and the app will wrap over to the previous screen, move to the right edge if you want to go from home screen 1 to home screen 2. If you have for example 6 home screens and you want to move an app from 6 to 1, you would do the same, but keep holding your finger down. The app will move to home screen 5 and if you keep holding after about 2 or 3 seconds it will move to 4, then to 3, to 2 and finally 1. For a more detailed explanation and demo, check out the Podcast from Garth on moving apps on www.iBlindTech.com. Garth actually has a good series of Podcasts and the nice thing is that his earliest Podcasts cover the very basics and he progressively moves on to more advanced stuff. One could almost think he actually put some thought into what Podcasts he is doing and in which order *smile*.

I don't recall where it is on a virgin phone any more, since I tucked mine away in a folder.

If you flick right again, or press Home from page 1, you'll be on a search screen. Type Contacts, and your iPHone will find the Contacts app. perhaps it's in a folder; if that's the case, the search will tell you which folder it's in, which should help you find it next time. > > Or if you have Siri, hold down Home, and say, "Open Contacts." > > Best, > Anna > > > > On Feb 14, 2013, at 7:51 PM, "Alan Lemly" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> I know these are really basic questions but I'm an iPhone newbie so hopefully you'll cut me some slack. >> >> . I just synced my Outlook contacts and calendar with my iPhone but I'll be darned if I can find a Contacts icon on my iPhone's main screen with which to access the contacts.

The apps icon sits on desktop page 2 of my iPhone 5 but I'm having a lot of difficulty getting to that second page.

I have to turn VoiceOver off and then swipe left or right as a sighted person would do to get to the second page.
