After upgrade, standby apps have disappeared

I recently upgraded by N95 and all went well. The new GPS software in particular is amazing, MUCH faster at finding where the GPS position.
BUT the front screen of the phone is almost blank, whereas before it had a summary of my calendar and shortcuts of favourite applications. How can I get this back?
I have an N95 now at 21.0.016 on O2 in the UK.
Thanks!

Hi Asem305,
You are right, since writing the email, I have fiddled quite a bit, and restored the firmware, over writing the existing setup. The problem does not exist after the firmware.
The problem shows it's ugly side the second I restore my backup and I now know exactly what application is causing me all this grief... Handy Shell - I installed it 3 days ago, and it basically replaces the front screen amongst other things. It's a nasty little **bleep**, because it totally screws everything up, and uninstalling doesn't do anything. It doesn't uninstall.
It just freezes the screen and then the phone shows the following message "Contact your retailer"... and there is nothing one can do to get past it (that is if you have a pin number on your SIM card). Fortunately for me I have two phones, and when I use my other sim in the N95, and push a lot of buttons when the phone starts, I can get past the nasty message.
As mentioned above, I have solved this problem by re-installing the firmware.
Take a look at what the Bowens are up to.

My apps have disappeared and I cannot re-download them/download new ones.

A lot of my apps have disappeared (iOS 7). At first, the only problem was that I couldn't download apps becaue whenever I tried to, it would say 'open' in the App Store but that wouldn't take me anywhere and the icon wouldn't be on my homescreen. After I turned on and off my iPhone to see if this would resolve the problem, I noticed that a lot of my apps had disappeared. I cannot re-download them as it says 'open' and not 'free'/'buy'. When I press open, nothing happens. What do I do?

I have this problem, too, on my iPad Air. It's showing up in the settings but disappeared on the homescreen. This happens after I update to OS 7.1.1 last night.
Apple, what's the solution to the fix?

I updated to ios7 and now some of my apps have "disappeared." Ideas of how to restore them?

I updated to IOS7 and now some of my apps have "disappeared." Any ideas of how to restore them?

They most likely got pushed to another page. Try swiping all the way from righ to left.
Also folders have mutiple pages now (used to hold 16 now only 9 per page) too. If the app was in a folder, go to that folder and try swiping to a different page inside the folder.
If not check your restrictions:
Settings > General > Restrictions
Can you find it by searching (swipe down from the middle of the screen)?
If so does it say something on the right sid of the app in the search box, if so that is the folder it is in.

My apps have disappeared from purchase history in Mac App Store. Anyone else had this problem?

If I open the Mac app store and click 'Purchases' my apps have disappeared. i've spent a fair bit of cash on Aperture and other apps, so I want them back
I've raised a support ticket with Apple but that's been completely useless. They told me to see if the app is still on my iPod (thanks for reading the question!) and kept telling me how to fix my iTunes login. I'm still waiting for a solution.
Anyway, I've signed in and out of the Mac App Store several times, I've signed in and out of iTunes several times, all with no luck.
Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
You can also view purchased apps from your iTunes store account in "Purchase History".

after upgrading I now have four operating systems on my Imac. how do I get rid of some

Very sorry it took so long to get back, I have tiger,leopard,snow leopard and lion still on the machine although i can't seem to find exactly where. I am sure that I don't need them all and they are just taking up disc space as it where. I thought that it would be good to clear some out but it is never a good idea to delete OS's when you are not sure what you are doing. thanks

Hi there, I have tried to update 7.2 and all of my Apps have disappeared. I was advised to restore so not sure what is going on?

Hey rebelist45!
You can use the Search field in iOS 7 to find out if your apps are installed on your phone somewhere that maybe you haven't noticed, and I have linked some information about that right here:
Search - iPhone User Guide
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph3c511548
If the apps are not installed on your phone, you can always reinstall them by following the directions in this article:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Now, regarding the iTunes loading: if you are speaking of iTunes not being able to launch on your computer, then you will want to see this article:
iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
But if iTunes is unable to launch on your iPhone, you may need to restore your phone according to the instructions in this article:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

HT201407 I backed up my phone before it was replaced. My apps have disappeared altogether, and my music is there but it indicates that I need to download (not pay for) each track again. What have I missed?

I upgraded my ipod touch but my apps have disappeared

I upgraded my ipod touch but my apps have disappeared

If in the USA you can redownload them here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If not, yur can just repurchases them. Yu will not be chared again as long as you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased them.
Were the apps in the iTunes library of he computer on which yu did the update? If not they will not be n the iPod after the update. Apps themselves (app data is) are not in th backup that iTunes make as the first step of the update. They are synced from the iTunes library to the iPod at the end of the update.

Were they on your computer's iTunes when you started the update ?
As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

Firefox occasionally crashes, after restarting it app tabs disappear. 8.0.1

From time to time, Firefox crashes.
When I open Firefox again, my app tabs disappear.
The problem is that I had more than 50 app tabs, and I really need them back, as I don't recall some sites' titles or addresses and I can't find them in history.
How can I restore or at least make sure that it doesnt' happen again?
If it is not restoreable, is it legal to change Firefox core files?

My problem is not necessarily when Firefox crashes, but when I have two windows open, one with my tabs and one plain one. If I close the one with my tabs first, and then the plain one, when i restart Firefox reloads only the plain window, and I cannot get my tabs back. This has happened to me numerous times and is highly annoying. I don't have 50 tabs like Mirac7, but it still frustrates me. Can't these be linked to my profile, instead of just the particular window I have open at the time?

Hanging on boot after upgrading server.app

After upgrading to 10.9 Server.App my boot hangs at "/etc/rc.server: line 14: /etc/rc.server.firewall: No such file or directory" and won't boot into safe mode either. Anyone know how I can fix this without restoring from a backup?

Cameron, thanks for your feedback.
I'm on a 2011 iMac, with a DIY Fusion Drive (I added a SSD inside). I always had slow startups. I thought it was the custom Fusion Drive's fault, but now I know it was not.
Now I can't boot at all, just after applying the most recent 10.9.2 security update. This is a software issue. The iMac was running Mountain Lion Server, then I upgraded to Mavericks but did not upgrade to Mavericks Server. However there were remains of the old 10.8 Server app.
As I said, yesterday I deleted all those remains (booting from an external drive). However I forgot the most obvious thing: open that **** /etc/rc.server file and comment out line 14.
This morning I booted the iMac again, in verbose mode. The message about /etc/rc.server was not there, at last, but fsck was launched and took a long time. I had to go to work, where I am now, and I don't know if fsck finished its work. I'll let you know...

Mac - after updating creative cloud, all apps have disappeared from "apps" and attempts to install hang for long time.

I recently updated the Creative Cloud app, and suddenly I get a message that I have not yet downloaded any apps. They are all right there in my applications folder, but not in my CC desktop app. When I attempt to install any app, it hangs at 40 or 42% forever..... Please help.

Thanks for your response, John,
I'm not sure what browsers and firewall have to do with this issue. I have been using Creative Cloud as a desktop app since first subscribing to the Adobe Creative Cloud, and downloaded all of the apps that I use on a daily basis way back then. The only change between seeing all of my apps and not seeing any of them was updating the actual Creative Cloud app itself. There were no other changes. Here is a screen shot of what I saw when attempting to update Acrobat. Below that are two screen shots that may be a signal that my Creative Cloud app is corrupt. Please let me know how to proceed.
This hung at 42% for about half an hour....
This seems quite odd....
InDesign seems normal...
