Rearrange apps not working!!

The iPad is my first Apple device, so bear with a PC moron.

I know that the apps in the iPad can be rearranged by touching them until they start to jiggle. Then they can be dragged around and even moved to another screen. My problem is that sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't!!

Currently, I can move around apps within one screen, but I cannot, for the life of me, drag them to a different screen. I get to the edge and they just spring back. I can move an app to the dock, change screens, and then move it to that screen, but I can't just slide an app to a different screen. I know it works because I've done it. But at the moment, it doesn't work.

What am I doing wrong? Is it me or is it the iPad?

Thanks!

Did it a few times myself.

You're trying to drag the icon off the screen - if you do that, it jumps back.
Just drag the icon over to the edge of the screen until the screen changes.

Thank you!

I was sure it had to be operator error!

You're not alone on this one.
