Actually, after 'fiddling' around it, I discovered how to backup and then reinstall....I think.
I did that, and the checkerboard icon came back; also had to do with ... again I think ... the little screens versus the big ones....my size of course.
So while that flub is corrected, today I have another that is stifling me.....it won't let me reinstall back to factory version.
I successfully did that yesterday, regarding the above, but now cannot seem to get to anything ; basically frozen in that....and also now a divided listing of the apps...with only a portion of the previous recalled app icons being displayed.
Is there a way to reboot everything, and start all over??? I admit I am a 'dingdong'; but am interested in learning so that I can understand the process.
Thanks
