App Store icon went missing!

I restored my iPad2 yesterday, and the Apps Store icon was there. Then I synced all the apps, music, books, and  re-arranged the icons through iTunes, placing the App Store icon in the main "dock". But now, the icon went missing...  Any ideas what might have happened? I haven't tried syncing it again...
Thanks for your replies!  :)

Duh....... It's kind of embarrasing..... I got it back..... I had placed a restriction on purchasing and deleting Apps (in the General Settings), so that made the icon "disappear"....  Must be the "blonde" in me!!! ;P
Thanks again for your help! :)

  • HT203167 My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install?

    My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

    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' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to 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.

  • My App store icon is missing after ios 7 update.

    I updated to ios 7 and now my App Store icon is missing.  There is one page that only has one icon on it, so I am not sure if other stuff is missing too.  Other problems I have had:
    All of my contacts disappearing and then reappearing.
    My privacy settings for photos being changed
    not able to add events to my calendar
    When I search for something in safari, I click on a result and it will not open the link.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    You may want to double check the Restriction settings on the device. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

  • App store icon gone missing/Web Content Filter - Apple Configurator

    I am using Apple Configurator to manage the iPads at my school. I changed the settings on my school's profile, within Apple Configurator, so that the App store was not available. The App store icon disappeared and all was good. I decided to change the settings back, to allow the App store, saved the settings and refreshed a group of iPads. The App store icon is still missing and it doesn't appear that my new settings have been applied. I quit Configurator and tried again, but no success. I am running Configurator 1.5 and the ipads are running iOS 7.1.
    Also, I have unchecked the "Allow use of You Tube" button because I want You Tube disabled, but Configurator still allows the use of You Tube through Safari. Is there any way to disable the use of You Tube without using the ridiculous "Web Content Filter", that when activated, limits adult content (good), which seems to include a lot of valuable educational sites (bad)? To me the only other option available seems to be to tick "Specific Websites Only" and spend the next year typing in all the possible sites that might have educational merit, ergo, my use of the word 'ridiculous'. Is there something I am missing?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

  • HT2476 I recently had the hard drive replaced on my Macbook Pro; now the app store icon is missing from my dock

    When my hard drive was replaced by Apple, I had to re-install iTunes myself. Then I noticed that there was a question mark on my dock where the App Store Icon was supposed to be. I did a software update, and now the question mark is gone. How do I get the App Store Icon back on my dock?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

    Hi,

    Hi...
    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That will reinstall the App Store for you. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

  • 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

  • HT4461 My daughter was using our iPad and now the Mac App Store icon is missing - where did it go and how do I restore it back to the main screen?

    Need some assistance

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I think you wanted to say App Store. Mac App Store is only available in Macs, not on an iPad.
    She probably enabled restrictions. Open Settings > General > Restrictions, and disable them by using the password she set. If she doesn't remember it, you have to restore your device to default settings in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, losing everything stored in the device

  • App store category went missing

    Hi,
    I seem to have a problem.
    I just purchased the New iPad.
    And when browsing through the app store, I can't seem to find "games" among the different categories?!
    Not in the Top list nor in the sektion "categories". When browsing on my iPhone I can find the games category?!
    I can still find games when searching for them.
    Why is this, and how do I get the games category back for my iPad App Store?
    Best regards
    //Sebastian

    Open up Categories and then try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • New iPhone 4 -- App Store Icon Missing - Help!

    My friend recently got one today. And shes telling me that the App Store icon is missing.
    She already
    1) Checked all the pages to make sure it wasent there
    2) Its Version 4.0.2
    3) Turned the phone off and turned it back on
    4) Went into settings and restrictions and its on "On"
    Anyone can help? I was gonna tell her to do a restore but then she would have to back up her phone and if she did and backed the restore from the back up that it may bring along the problem again. On the other hand, if she does a simple restore with no back up, shes gonna lose all her contacts.
    What should she do?

    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

  • Missing app store icon

    Hello,
    I am missing my app store icon on my IMAC, I looked all over under application, I don't see it. How do I get it back?
    Thanks!

    Hi Becky: If you are running OS 10.6.6 or higher you should have the App store. If this is your OS, then you may need to download the Combo updater to restore the App store. See the link below. Please note it is a large file.
