App store icon has disapeared

my app store has disapeared off my home screen and cant find it any where is there any way i can find it ?

Hey saralou1984,
Thanks for the question. Let’s check to see if Restrictions have been enabled on your device. Enabling the restriction of installing apps would cause the App Store icon to disappear from your home screen:

  • App store Icon has disappeared, how do I get it back?

    The App store Icon has disappeared off my iPhone 4, hence have no access to download apps direct from the phone or see if any need updating. Anyone got any bright ideas how I can get the icon back ?

    I had the same problem and tried both of the suggestions listed above. The "Reset" idea did not work. The problem was instead in the "Restrictions." I had to "Allow" "Installing Apps." I don't know how I disallowed that in the first place, but for me, this was the solution. Thanks!

  • My app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod, how do i get it back?

    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.

    If you do not have, or remember, the passcode for Restrictions, the only option available to you is to reset the device to factory settings via itunes.

  • I have updated my iPhone 4S to 8.0.2 and my app store icon has disappeared. How do I restore it.

    Updating ti IOS 8.0.2 has made my App Store icon disappear.  How do I get it back please.

    If you can't find it on your home screens then check to see whether you've hidden it via Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off'

  • My App Store icon has gone missing...PLEASE HELP

    I turned on my iPad this morning and the app store icon is not here. I tried a reset but it is still nowhere to be found. I have about 222 mb of free space left. What can I do.

    You cannot delete it.
    It is likely on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.
    Check all of these.
    If you do not solve, then reset the home screen layout.

  • HT1212 I have a first generation Ipad.  the App Store icon has disappeared from my homescreen.  I have tried everything that is recommended and nothing works.  One of the steps asks me to enter a passcode that I have never set up.  ??? how to fix?

    How do you retrieve the App Store Icon on a first generation ipad?

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ? Is that the passcode that you are referring to, for the Restrictions screen ?
    If it is and you don't know what it is then could anybody else have set it, and do you know if it was on the iPad when you last backed up ? If it wasn't then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up and you don't know what it is then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

  • App store icon not working

    Since recent update came through my app store icon has changed and no longer works.
    The message that comes up reads - "App store quit unexpectedly" - and has rows of coding messages below it.
    One message states
    "Application Specific Information:
    abort() called
    *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSImageCacheException', reason: 'Cannot lock focus on image <NSImage 0x100393170 Size={0, 0} Reps=(
    )>, because it is size zero.'
    *** Call stack at first throw:"
    Looking at other reports from mac forums I believe the problem happened when I updated from OS X 10.6.6.
    I downloaded the 10.6.6 Combo package and tried to install but a message comes up stating I cannot update to an earlier system as I am now on 10.6.8
    Any suggestions. I am not  a techie person and dont want to reboot using start up disks as I may lose everything I have on laptop.
    Also, do I need to have the app store working to purchase the new Lion OS.
    I tried the suggestion of installing the 10.6.8 combo pack but still doesnt work

    Try this...
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. (it has a small house icon) then open the Library folder then the Caches folder then the com.apple.appstore folder.
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Restart your Mac.
    Try the App Store.
    Apple - OS X Lion - Sign up to be notified when Lion is available.

  • I can't get rid of the little number 1 on the app store icon.

    The app store icon has the little number 1 on it referring to an iMovie update which unfortunately I can't download because I don't have the latest OS. Why doesn't the little number disappear after I try to update and get told I don't have the right OS? Is there some other way to get rid of it, or will I live with it for the rest of the life of my MacBook Pro?

    Sometimes hiding the app helps. Go to the Mac App Store, sign into your account and check the Purchased pane. Click the X next to the Button for the app in question and the app will be hidden in your account purchases history. The update flag may not disappear immediately, but it will usually eventually.

  • App Store Icon - upgrade 4.2

    I have just updated successfully to 4.2 but my App Store Icon has been deleted in the process. How do I get it back?

    You can't delete the icon.
    Perhaps the restrictions were turned on some how. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and see if the installing apps restriction is on.

  • App Store icon on dock

    My app store icon has a red #1 in the upper right corner. It appeared yesterday. What does it mean and how can I get rid of it?

    Well, if it isn't in the applications folder, maybe your kid deleted it completely. This thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2732272?tstart=0 shows the steps to recover the app store.
    Cheers

  • I no longer have the Apps Store Icon on my I pad, I did not delete it.  Can it me restored please?

    My App Store Icon has disaooeared from my I pad, can it be restored please?

    You can't delete it.  If you have restrictions set on your iPad, go to Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that Installing Apps is set to On.  If it is and you still can't find the App Store app, swipe your screen to the right to bring up spotlight search, then search for App Store.  If it's inside a folder, the folder name will appear to the right of the app.
