I can't add Webclips, I get a 'Could not add this page to the Home screen' error

This appears to be a permissions problem.
Set the permissions of the WebClips folder to 777.

Here is how:   (device status must be 'Ready 4 iFun!')
  • go to the File Manager page -> Data Transfer tab
  • click on the desktop button
  • click on the device in the list - this will get you to its 'home' directory
  • click on the 'New Text File' button (text file and + icon)
  • the default name is fine; click 'OK'
  • click on the pencil next to the text file to edit it
  • enter this line between the first and last lines: chmod -Rf 777 /private/var/mobile/Library/WebClips
  • click on the 'Update Phone' button to save the file to the device
  • switch back to the Data Transfer tab
  • click on the lightning icon next to the text file to execute the script
  • choose 'Restart SpringBoard' from the popup menu (the one with the red arrow)
  • try to add a webclip
