3GS App Icons

My 3GS has been running fine upto now. No problem opening apps but only today a few of my app icons have gone dull and display the wrong text ie: one of my games is displaying eBay icon but has correct name for the game! Why would it do this and is there anyway of resolving this. It has only done it with a couple of my apps.

HI a couple of my icons are dull (so to speak!)
i have tried syncing but no luck
One of them is the new TomTom app - this is one i downloaded into iTunes rather than straight onto the phone (due to the size)
All the other icons are nice and bright - any ideas? How did everyone else fix it?
All software is up to date
cheers, darren, lockerbie, Scotland

3GS - YouTube only plays through Safari, can't connect through e-mail links nor app icon. Fixable?

iPhone 3GS: YouTube only connects/plays through Safari but not through links in e-mail messages nor from the app icon. Fixable? Thanks.

Thanks for joining the discussion.
Although port 8443 is mosten quoted as correct port for CalDAV and CardDAV, port 8843 can be found both on Apple's website and other places:
see Technical Note 1649 to find port 8443 listed for iCal and port 8843 for Address Book
Mac OS X Lion Server for Dummies (sic) lists port 8843 on pages 236 and 238 but port 8443 in many other places
when you want to push iCal and Address Book information with Profile Manager, Profile Manager lists port 8443 for iCal but port 8843 for Address Book as default:
So I hope you understand I'm somewhat puzzled.
I did get the Address Book working for my Lion desktops with the all the necessary certificates as far as I know, just not for the iOS devices (iPhone and IpPad). iCal sharing from Lion Server works fine on both Lion and iOS devices.

ITunes App icon displays incorrect number of updates

Am currently running iTunes 11.03 but this issue has been around for several months. The App icon in iTunes indicates there are 38 updates available. After downloading them and syncing with my iPhone 3GS, the icon contiues to indicate 38 updates being available. Is there a way to reset the update counter?

When the export conversion completed, the correct number of songs was displayed on both libraries. Thank You.

Disappearing app icons - and that's only the start

Despite reading that the apps that came with my 3Gs can't be deleted two have disappeared - Safari and more worryingly the App app. Also when I sync my phone I am unable to sync to the apps stored on my itunes. The app page related to my plugged in device is 'frozen' in that I can't do anything on it - I can't unclick the sync apps box, move any of the apps on the screen on the right. All in all its a bit of a disaster and I've wasted hours trying to work out what to do. If anyone out there has had a similar experience and can help you will have my undying gratitude

Yes restrictions are enabled and the settings for the apps installed with the phone include App store but getting into it to say try to turn on genius for apps the bar goes blue for a second and then I get sent straight back to the page which says 'View Account' and Sign out
Also the Safari app icon doesn't appear in that list and I have a feeling it used to be there too

App Icon issues

I have a new 3GS. Is anyone else with a 3GS or just OS 3.0 having issues with app icons not matching their application. I "purchased" a free app and it used an old icon from another program so I didn't recognize the app for a while. Also the AT&T app suddenly lost it's icon and is a blank gray spot on my display. What's the dillio?

Hmm, for what it's worth, I have the following mixed apps/icons on the iphone screens
1st screen:
Pano has Translator icon
2nd screen: (posted above)
3rd screen:
Ambiance has Pixelpipe icon
4th Screen:
Air Sharing has Evernote icon
Translator has Facebook icon
5th screen:
Quicken app has Bento icon
Amazon.com app has RingCentral icon
Pageonce Assistant has AirSharing icon
I think the last once I installed was TweetDeck, and 12 of the apps (forget which ones) were updated yesterday. I'm just gonna sit tight, read the text for the apps to remember which to use and ignore the icons. It's almost like an interactive puzzle. I suppose some might try to pass this off as an undocumented feature.

Iphone 3gs application icons

i just bought the iphone 3gs and i have applications on it, but the icons are not the right icon for the app.... like a ring tone one is really a playmesh mafia icon and so on. how do i fix this?

I had the same problem when an icon for a different app appeared in place of the correct one. Mine was an easy fix- I simply deleted the app from the iPhone (push and hold icon until it shakes, then click the x) and then shut off the iPhone. Next, I connected the iPhone to my computer and re-sync'd with iTunes (make certain that you check-mark the now deleted app to ensure it re-loads on the iPhone). Presto! The app icon was fixed. I hope that helps you with yours.

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

Anyone know how to delete an app icon bookmark?

I'm using an iPhone 4 with the 5.1 iOS. I downloaded an app for LG which turned out to be just a Safari bookmark with an app icon. It looks like a regular app but when you click it - Safari opens and it takes you to the LG webpage. Now I want to get rid of it and I can't. It doesn't appear in the list of apps in iTunes in the Sync Apps area, although it does show up on the phone and in the phone panel in iTunes. When I click on the app icon in itunes (in the phone panel) - it highlights it, but there's no X, and right-clicking doesn't do anything and pressing doesn't do anything either. It does not appear in my list of bookmarks in Safari either. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks!

nevermind - figured it out. thanks anyway.

Next time you accidentally use 3 fingers it will zoom again. Unless you need the feature you're better to turn it off

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Having a problem with Ipad2 IOS 7 itunes moving app icons

When trying to move or reposition app ICONS in iTunes for my iPad2 it is extremely sluggish or won't let me select a home screen or icon to work with.
Sometimes all the home screens "disappear" from the window.
Did not have this problem with previous iTunes version 11.x.x before updating to the new 11.1 iTunes and IOS 7 on my devices.
My iphone 4s with IOS 7 does not have this problem, but is a little sluggish.
Running Windows XP on a very fast PC.
Thanks

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.

Question mark in mountian lion launch control were app icon should be

I have just purchased a new mac book pro which came with OSX lion installed. As a result of that I did a time machine backup from my old macbook to the new one. All went well and everything was updaed. I then installed OSX Mountain lion. It said on compleation that all was well. All dock items were there, everthing open and closed from the dock, however when I opened launch pad the following apps had a question mark icon instead of the app icon. They were MOUNTAIN LION.CALENDER,CONTACTS,NOTEPAD. They all launch from the dock but not from launch pad, anyone have any ideas whats wrong.

I cannot find it in the applications folder on those accounts, just on the main account
Safari is supposed to be in Macintosh HD --> Applications
If Safari is not in that folder, move it there.
It should not be in Users --> yourusername -->Applications
