App Icons not showing up after 4.2.1 update

Hi all,
I just updated my 3GS to 4.2.1 and now none of my apps are showing up.
They are clearly still on the phone because I can use the search function and find them but the icons are all gone.
Any suggestions?

Wow...I also just noticed I have songs that also are not showing up. Should I just do a restore?

  • App icons not showing up after downloading?

    Why do my app icons not show up on my iPad2? I have purchased the apps on my iPad directly. Also, I know they are there because when I search it finds them and then I can open and run them.

    Jennifer-
    Could the Apps be on the second page of Apps?  From your Home page, wipe across from right to left to scroll to page 2.
    If that is the problem, press and hold on the icon.  When it starts to wiggle, you can drag it back to the first page.  This can also be done from iTunes when the iPad is selected.

  • App icons not showing on iphone screen

    I recently purchased some apps on my iPhone 4S, but the icons are not showing up on my screen, though they are loaded on the phone (I can find them and use them if I do a search for them).  Any advice?

    but the icons are not showing up on my screen

  • Apps icon not showing that updates are available

    I was my understanding that when updates were available, the Apps icon was supposed to display the number, in red, similar to email and chat, etc. However, the number displays only after I enter the Apps store. Is this the way it's supposed to work? Is it a bug? Anyone else having this problem?

    So what's the purpose of the indicator if it won't display anything until you've already checked for updates? There needs to be some kind of Push notification -- just like there is for email and chat. Current behavior just doesn't make sense.
    Just going to the App Store triggers it for me so I never go to any "check for updates" option. I go to the App Store quite often so I generally am notified pretty quickly on new versions of apps.

  • Firefox icon not showing up after installing and...

    I installed Firefox and there is no icon for it. I must manually enter "firefox" in the terminal. Also, when I run the java command, it says it cannot be found. I just installed java from the AUR package. Also, how do I make files without an extension run in the terminal or be sh by default?

    Do something like this (we assume the file you want to execute is called "runme" in this example):
    chmod +x runme
    That will mark the file as "executable" as you say. Also, by default Gnome will prompt you on whether or not to run a script like this -- offering to execute it, execute it in a terminal or display its contents. I am not certain but I THINK that default process can be changed in the settings of Nautilus to do something by default -- like display in a text editor (gEdit) or run the script.
    YMMV on this as I am not at my box, to confirm any of this.

  • Mission Control Only Showing App Icons, NOT Windows

    I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina and am noticing a bug with Mission Control.  When I go to Mission Control to see all of the different windows I have open, it's showing just the app icons, NOT the actual app windows.  This occurs sporadically; sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it doesn't.  I actually realzied the same issue on my MacBook Pro (2009) after upgrading to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, therefore it seems to be an OS issue and not a HW issue. 
    Here is a screen shot of what I see when Mission Control is not working properly:
    Instead of those icons, it should be showing the actually windows within those apps that I have open. 
    Any ideas?

    I have this problem too and would love a solution...when it happens to me it only seems to be on one of my spaces, if I use gestures to get to another space Mission Control" works fine on a different space, but if I go back to the original space it stops working..I have found a fix, which is just move the active window slightly, yep, that actually works, and then Mission Control starts working again...it's weird...would still love to know what causes it, even though the fix is an easy one...
    Just on the safari comments above, I have noticed this happens when one of the tab has "reader" activated...turning of 'reader' seems to fix the issue with safari...

  • Apps icons not appearing on screen after ios7 upgrade

    After updating to IOS7, my apps are not showing up on screen.  They appear in the App Store under purchased, and open when I press the "open" button.  How cai I get the icons back on the screen?

    I think I am having the same problem.
    After updating to iOS 7, a couple of my Purchased apps have icons on my iPhone 4S screen, and some of my Purchased apps do not. If I go to App Store/Updates/Purchased, all the apps I Purchased show up, even the ones I deleted from my phone (before and after the upgrade).
    All of my active apps have the "Open" button next to it. But how do I get the active-apps-that-aren't-showing-on-my-phone to show up on my phone?
    I haven't found any Apple support string that talks about this and it's frustrating. My commonly used apps are no longer easily accessible, which is counterproductive.
    Thanks!

  • Some of my iphone apps do not show up in my iphone after sync

    There are some apps that do not show up after i click the sync button. At the top of the itunes window where it shows the status, it says syncing iphone then it installs a 50 mb app in 0.5 seconds and then says sync again, then sync complete, ok to disconnect. When i look at my iphone, the app is not installed. This only happens to some of my apps and even some updates of the apps. Please help fin a solution to this.
    Itunes version is 8.2.1.6
    Iphone(3gs) os version is 3.0
    hmm...You think updating it will solve the problem?

    The first thing you need to do is update itunes, the current version is 9.0.3. Next, you need to update your phone, the current firmware is 3.1.3. After doing those two things, try & sync your apps. If you're still having problems, post back.

  • After upgrading to iOS 8, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities

    After upgrading to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5, the weather app does not show up results for any of the Indian States/cities. Can Apple look into this or does anyone have a solution to this.

    Swipe from bottom of days listed ("Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, etc")  upwards.  I thought it was gone too but it's still there~just takes different way to access it.

  • The Music Icon App is not showing under use cellular data

    The Music Icon App is not showing under use cellular data.
    When I go to settings, cellular the Music Icon is not listed.  I cannot turn on use cellular data for itunes for my music in itunes match.  How do I get the icon listed there.
    Thank you.

    Hi crcalnan,
    There should be an entry in that section for iTunes, which includes both the iTunes Store and iTunes Match:
    Set when cellular data is used for apps and services. Go to Settings > Cellular, then turn cellular data on or off for any app that can use cellular data. If a setting is off, iPhone will use only Wi-Fi for that service. The iTunes settings include both iTunes Match and automatic downloads from the iTunes Store and the App Store.

  • App Store not showing up in ios8

    AApp store and iTunes Store not showing up after ios8 upgrade, nor am I able to delete apps (they wiggle bot no x icon). Anyone having a similar problem?

    Check what you have set in Settings > General > Restrictions - if 'Installing Apps' is 'off' then the App Store will be hidden, and if 'Deleting Apps' is 'off' then you won't be able to delete apps ; and if 'iTunes Store' is 'off' then iTunes will be hidden

  • App store not showing app details

    Is something wrong with my ipad2 or is there some setting I am not aware of?
    Here is what happened: I go to app store to search for an app. Clicked on the app icon to view details. Then proceeded to buy it and got it installed. I then went to search for a different app. Tried to view the details of that other app by clicking on the icon but nothing happens - the page showing the details of that app does not show up. I tried clicking on the other 11 app icons that showed up under that search. None of them responds. But all the other touch sensitive parts of the app store still functions - search box, filter pull down options, sort, next page, etc, etc.
    This is not the first time this phenomenon occured. In previous times I did not remember what I did to get to that state where clicking on the app icons in the app store did not respond but I clearly remember on numerous occasions there is no response to clicking.
    So is there a setting I don't know about or is my ipad2 malfunctioning?
    Thanks.
    Just want to add that the little icon with the $ sign on it to buy apps still works. Just the icon with the picture in it does not work.

    Thanks, King_Penguin, for the suggestion and quick response.
    Before I saw your response, I turned the ipad off and turned it back on (but did not reboot). Since that, I went into the app store and I could get into app details again.
    I did not know of this feature you mentioned. Very useful. I tried it and many apps were shown to be running - even many apps that had been recently (past days) run but not since turnning off/on a few minutes ago were still shown as running. That is very weird. At the very least it's not a very efficient use of resources. I killed every single one of them incl app store. After this I could go in & out of various app detail screens.
    Should this phenomenon happen again I will try your solution first and see if that alone will do it and report back here.
    Thanks again. This is a useful feature to know about.

  • An app does not show up but is found in search

    after setting up my new phone i have at least one app that's icon is not showing up on any of the pages.  yet when 'searched' for on the phone it is found and can be used.  the app does not show up in my updates list for the app store either, so the phone must know it's installed. what could cause this icon to not be visible and how can i correct this?
    thanks.

    Any error message?
    Is the app stuck on "waiting"?
    What happens when you try to redownload it?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Try downloading on computer and syncing to the iPod.
