How to Rename Folders on the iPod Touch

One of the biggest features introduced in the iOS 4 operating system for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad is the ability to create folders for apps. Folders let users move up to 12 apps into one folder so you don't have all kinds of similar apps taking up space on your iPod touch home screen. However, if an existing folder name becomes inaccurate because of other apps you've added to the folder, you can change it so you don't cause yourself or anyone else to become confused about the contents of the folder.

Instructions

1. Tap the icon of the folder you want to rename to open it. The folder opens displaying the apps inside of the folder.

2. Press and hold your finger against one of the apps in the folder until it starts to wiggle. A text field for the folder name appears directly above the apps.

3. Tap the "X" button to the right of the folder name to delete the current title. The onscreen keyboard appears on the lower half of the screen.

4. Type a new name using the onscreen keyboard and then press the "Done" button in the lower-right corner of the screen.

5. Press the "Home" button to save your changes to the app folder and make the apps stop wiggling.
