After a restore my iPad 2 has all the apps back on display instead of in folders
The iPad used to be neatly organized with the various apps (many!) neatly organized in folders.
Now, after a horrible experience with iOS8 (brutally slowed down the iPad 2) I have managed to restore the unit to the iOS7 backup I made just before upgrading (downgrading?) to iOS8. However, the apps are no longer in folders but all back on a multitude (7 or 8) of homescreens.
How do I get them back where they belong, and in the state in which I backed them up?
