How can I arrange apps on the screen so that I categorize by name?

1. Tap and hold any app until it wiggles (jiggles, shakes or whatever)
2. Then hold your specific app then move it.
3. Press the home button

*Note
Do not click the red button, xD..

You're welcome.

And when you sync your iPad with iTunes, you will be automatically prompt if there is a new update for your iPad, you can either choose "Download only" and install it on your own or you can choose to "Download and Install: it automatically.

Hi and welcome to the Forum!

It will depend on what OS your iPad is now presently on, have a look in Settings - General - About and look for version. If you are at least on OS 5 then you will be able to do updates on the iPad, if not you will need to do it connected to your PC. Let us know what OS you are on and we will advise further.

You cannot get Flash to run on the iPad. See here for the full details as to why (and what alternatives might work): http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-faq/54703-flash-ipad.html

And, again, the easiest way to update the iOS on your iPad is to (1) connect it to iTunes, (2) do a backup, (3) select Restore (if not automatically offered to upgrade) and then, when iTunes has completed its work, (4) elect to restore from backup. Once that is done, you will be on the most current version of iOS (5.1.1 at this time).

Hope this helps.
