My App Store app has disappeared from my Macbook.

I've started my Macbook tonight to find the "App Store" icon missing and nowhere to be found in "finder".
Seems a bit strange, i haven't deleted anything. How do i get it back ?
Daz

Do a spotlight search by hitting command-option-space
type in appstore
Then hit the plus button and click the button drop down menus until they make the phrase say kind is application and it should be there.

    my app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod touch, does any one know how to get it back

    - Try using the Spotlig search. Maybe yu just can't find it.
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Maybe it is hidden by setting a restriction for it.
    - Do a reset. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • HT201272 My You Tube launcher app has disappeared from the home page and can't be found. How do I reinstate it?

    The You Tube launcher app has disappeared from my home screen. How can I reinstate it?

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

  • My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone?  Help!

    My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone and also my app store icon.  How do I get them back?  I have reset the home page 4 times and they do not come back.

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen, then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?

    My iMessage app has disappeared from my iPhone.  How do I get it back?

    Good Afternoon Redclc,
    The Messages app is part of the iOS operating system on your iPhone, so it can't be deleted.   That's the good news.  So, it may have been moved to a different home screen.  You can use the Spotlight feature to search for the app on your iPhone.  Here's how:

  • Suddenly the settings app has disappeared from my iphone. How do I get it back?

    Suddenly the setings app has disappeared from my iphone. How do I get it back? I tried resetting the phone to factory settings but that did not help.

    It's not possible to delete it. Try resetting the home page layout. It has to have been moved to another page or a folder... oh, wait. you can't reset the home page layout without getting to it.
    Go to the search page (press the home button once when on the first screen or swipe right from the home screen and type settings. Provided you have not turned off application search results in spotlight settings, you should be able to get to it from there.

    How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD.  However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
    How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
    Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive.  Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items.  Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
    Press RETURN.
    To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
    The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
    Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
    Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
    Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
    Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
    Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
    /Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
    Click on the  "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
    The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
    D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
    1.          In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
    2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
    2b.          or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
    3.          In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
    4.          On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
    5.          Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
              20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
    6.          Click “close”. Go to step 7.
    Extract or Install........
    7.          In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
    8.          If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
    9.          In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
    10.          If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
    11.          Type in your password, click “OK”
    Pacifist will begin to extract files.
    12.          In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
    Notes:          Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
    Stop
    Leave original alone
    Update .....
    Default selection
    Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages)

  • My Mail app has disappeared from my ipod

    Whilst reorganising my apps in my ipod touch the mail app has disappeared.Anyone know how to retrieve it?

    Perhaps you have dropped it into a folder, together with another App. Check the App icons. Look for one that is a dark square with tiny (tiny) icons in the square. Tap it and it should expand to show you all the Apps in the folder.
    You can drag it out of the folder if you wish and set it on the Home Page.
