App icon picture missing

The icon on one of my apps is there but there is no picture.  It is just a blank square.  The app works fine when you click it, but I would like to get the picture back.

Hello MPeleschak,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

Restore from a backup
If you have a new iOS device, or if you need to restore your device to resolve an issue, follow these steps:
Connect your iOS device to the computer that has your backup.
Make sure this computer has the latest version of iTunes.
Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up. Or if you're using iTunes 10.7 or earlier, right-click—or Control-click—the device and choose "Restore from Backup."
Best of luck,
Mario

  • Some of my purchased apps icons are missing. how do i get them back on my ipad?

    On my ipad, some of my purchased apps icons are missing. The app store indicates that the apps were purchased so i cannot install them again.  How do I get the icons back?

    - Are the apps missing or are the icons white?
    - If missing have yu tried using the Spotlight search and trying to find them?
    - Have you tried downloading them on your iPad and then syncing?
    - Have you tried deleting them on the computer and then syncing?  That might also delete them from the iPad so you can redownal them
    - Have you tried reetting the iPad?
    Reset iPad:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

    HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

    Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
    1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
    2. Click "Download in the app store"
    3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
    8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
    9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

  • My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    (IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

    Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
    Or do what hannahsage said above.

  • Updated to IOS 5 and app icons are missing

    I upgraded last night and now some of my app icons are missing. If I do a spotlight search and find the app I can then launch the app from there but I would like to have the icon back to use rather than a workaround.

    After the IOIS 5.0 update my apps weren't showing on my device until I tabbed thru several screens on the phone. The only other issue was when I did a "restore" to new , not from backup because I was issues with the update (Bugs) Did a update and my apps didn't show until I did a " File" ................Transfer Purchases from Iphone.....with the device connected to ITunes...........then  Sync................ Another possibility could be in the following link:

  • Some of my App icons are missing (Mail, iCal, Firefox)

    Applications work, but they are missing their icons. It seem to be more and more icons with every restart. The icons are missing in Launchpad, dock and the Applications folder. Anyone having same problems

    Try Rebuilding  LaunchServices Database in OS X Lion to repair problems with incorrect icons
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt copy & paste in the following command in its entirety:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    You do not have to hit return
    Just let the process run it's course,  it will eventially put you back out at the prompt when complete (60-90 seconds.)
    restart your mac.

  • IPod Touch app icons are missing/blank

    On my sons 3rd generation iPod Touch, some of the icons of the apps are missing.
    I've tried resetting/restoring the iPod, and deleting and reinstalling apps, but still some show with no (that is to say only a white, blank) icon.
    The same apps, synced fro the same Mac and account, look fine on my iPhone4.
    Apps seem to work fine, it's only the icon that's missing.
    iOS is up to date.
    Any ideas?
    =)

  • My mail.app icons are missing

    The icons (send, get mail, etc) at the top of my mail.app are missing.
    If I click on the "search field", they will show up for a brief period, but then disappear again.

    From the "View" menu > "Show Toolbar".
    If you have selected more icons for your tollbar, than the toolbar can hold, click the ">>" to reveal the missing icons.
    Or enlage the Mail window to make the toolbar longer.
    Or customize it, to remove other icons.
    Or set the toolbar to show only the icons and no text, to save space.

  • After renaming the desktop shotcuts have all turned white (icon picture missing)

    Hi,
    I'm trying the new windows and I just renamed some of the desktop shortcuts - removing from them the awful suffix "shortcut" and after restart they all turned white and the picture disappeared. The icons have been deleted also from the aplication's
    .exe file and can't be reloaded.
    Thanks
    Win10 user

    1. Go back to that registry hack program you were using to remove the arrows, UN-DO it.
    2. If that failed to restore the desktop shortcuts, use the following tutorial. It is written for Win 8 /8.1. It is applicable to Win 10 TP.
    http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/8486-default-file-associations-restore-windows-8-a.html
    At the File Type or Protocol table, scroll down to .exe  
    > click it and save it to the desktop.
    Follow the steps listed at the top of the tutorial from #1 to 7.
    Scroll down to .lnk    and repeat
    the steps #1 to 7.
    Reboot your computer.
    Hopefully, that will restore your shortcuts' file type associations.
    Good luck.

  • Where in apple community can I find why my app icon is missing from the dock?

    I am using Mavericks 10.9.4 on a Mac Book Pro

    Check Applications.
    However, if you open it from the Apple Menu, then click and hold on the icon in the Dock, choose Keep in Dock from the Options submenu.
    Also note the “Show in Finder” option which can show you where something is. Not to useful in this case, but perhaps another time.

  • Anyone else have app icons go missing on iOS7?

    My settings icon has completely disappeared. I can search 'settings' on my phone and it will come up, but the icon is nowhere to be found in my menu.

    I can't think of a scenario where a phone will suddenly decide to up and wipe itself, and certainly not without wiping all content (like if you had activated find My iPhone and told it from another device to wipe itself the next time it was connected to the Internet).  One way to lose content is to plug it into a computer which has a different iTunes library.  The phone will then ask if you want to erase content.  Another is to use the multi-step series of commands to delete all music on a phone.  Again, something very deliberate.  There may be others.  It sounds like your music isn't really showing on your phone as actually being there but the iCloud listing of available downloads is not showing as being active, correct?

  • After updating to os 5 my apps store icon is missing

    I updated my Ipad 1 to OS 5 yesterday and now I cannot access the Apps Store.  My Apps Icon is missing off the page.  I have tried going to settings and at the store put on for the Apps Store, but nothing happens.  I have tried rebooting and syncing and nothing.

    I assume that you've checked all your homescreens and app folders for it. Have you hidden it by turning Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps 'off' ? If not then does it show when you search for it by name on the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?
    If it's not hidden and the search doesn't find it then try a reset and see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you still can't find it then you could try resetting your homescreen layout via Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout and then look for it again

  • Half my icons are missing, including settings and safari

    When i turned on my ipad the other day, most of my app icons were missing. I cant reset through settings because the settings icon is also missing. When i search for settings, nothing comes up. anyone have any ideas?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • Mac App icon missing

    I just realised I should have a Mac App icon on my macbook pro! I can't find it - I've looked in Apps folder, bu the icon picture is not the Blue Circle, it's a boring looking pieve of paper with a pen, paper & ruler in the rh corner. If I try to open it I get an "App store quit unexpectedly" message. If try & locate the app from finder I get the same message. I don't know how long I've had this missing, I've had the laptop for a while, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8
    Hope someone can help, Thanks.

    First thing, download and apply the combo updater for 10.6.8, whether you currently have it or not.   That should bring you an App store icon, at least in your applications folder.
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
