Apps are gone...

Hi community,
I got the following problem with my new iPad Air: several apps such as Pages, Amazon, Keynote... are not displayed on the screen anymore. The apps are shown in the settings however, but only the symbols without the text info beside them (see pic). All App Symbols wihtout text are the ones missing. Deleting and re-installing these apps does no good, they are still gone from the homescreen. Restarting the iPad was also no help.
Thanx for tipps and support!

Did you do a search and see if one of them appears? Swipe down from the middle of the home screen to get to the Spotlight Search. Type in any of those apps and if it appears, tap on it and see if the app launches.
Rebooting the iPad might not be a bad idea either.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

HT203175 I plugged my iPod into the computer and it says that my iPod is synced with another iTunes library, but it's not. So all my music and apps are gone. What can I do to remind the computer its the right iTunes library and get all my stuff back?

Same as you would if you bought a pc; copy everything from your old computer to your new one. Then you can just sync everything from the new computer, as you did with the old one.

ITunes library help - moved to external drive and now my apps are gone?

I moved my iTunes library to an external drive, but now my apps are gone? I do have iTunes match and iCloud, so my songs are all on the cloud, but none of my apps are showing...
I copied everything over, consolidated, but I must have messed something up as I think I have too many library files on the external drive now. I can see all my files on the external drive, but they are not showing up when I open itunes. It looks like it linked to a new copy of a library as only my most recent apps are showing, nad none of my existing ones are on itunes. What should I do to fix this? How do I know which files to delete?
Thanks.

I followed the instructions from Apple support to move itunes to an external drive, did what it said (obviously I messed something up). I then started itunes and missed the part where it says to tell itunes where the library was, and consequently itunes created a new library with none of my apps or anything in it.
All of my music is on icloud and I als ohave itunes match, so all of my music is on the cloud.
I have read some of the other postings to delete the newly made (and missing apps) itunes library file and ithen point it to the correct library file, but I am now paranoid I would delete the wrong one.
Thanks in advance for your help.

All of my apps are gone, and I'm having trouble with iCloud

Let me preface this by saying that Apple made me change my password a few days ago, before I downloaded the new IoS software. So I synced my music, videos and apps to my PC this afternoon before downloading the new software. I downloaded the software, and now my apps are missing from my iPad AND my PC, even after I synced them. To make things even more confusing, when I entered my new password, it said it was invalid. I entered my old one, and it worked. No apps there. And I tried verifying my Apple ID, I clicked the link and filled out the info, and it said there was already a user with my e-mail. I'm trying to re-access it, and it says it still hasn't been verified on my iPad. What do I do?
Edit: Never mind, everything is fine now.

I downloaded IOS 5 and all my apps are gone. When I go to the app store and click purchases, I am asked to enter apple id and password, but apple id is already entered - I can't change it. And it isn't my id, but my son's.
That's because your son's ID was used to make the purchases. ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.

Restore. Everything is restored except the password. Note that a Restore can take quite a while. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
When the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad. Say "YES" and be prepared for a long wait (several hours). That prompt has a timer and will disappear if you do not respond to it within a reasonable time. If you leave the computer and return and see that the iPad has only the built-in apps, simply click the manual "Sync" button (bottom right).

If you have failed to make sure that any apps purchased on the iphone were transferred to your computer before updating, then you will have to redownload.
Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.

I upgraded the iphone software to 4.2.8 and none of the purchased apps would open. I then restored the software and now all those apps are GONE. How do I get them back?

I have EXACTLY the same issue. I would appreciate the response also. Was not prepared for this.

Yup!!
Got what you deserved!
Do not try and rip off or steal from people or companies.
You have good cousin, there!(sarcasm)

Crash during sync, now all my apps are gone.

My laptop and iphone crashed during a sync. Laptop would lock up as soon as the phone was plugged in, and the phone started random reboots and freezes.
I reinstalled WinXP and itunes on the laptop, but still could not sync. The phone would come up "sync in progress", but then nothing happened. Left it sit overnight, and sync still would never complete.
Restored the phone to factory settings, and now everything seems fine. Only problem is that all of my downloaded apps are gone. I can see the history where I purchased them in the itunes store but they are not in itunes. If I try to reload them it wants me to pay for them again. Is there any way to recover previously purchased apps?

You can re-download purchased apps for free. Click on buy, click yes to I want to purchase, another popup will appear, you have already purchased, do you want to re-download, click yes.

I just updated my iphone 4S & all apps are gone. How do I get them back.

All your apps should be in your itunes media library, so sync your phone to itunes.
Only the app data is part of the backup, not the apps itself.

Aren't they in your iTunes library? If so, sync them back to your phone. If not, redownload them (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519).

HT1688 my default apps are gone. Restoring does not work

Pleas help I tried to jailbreak my iphone 4 and my default apps are gone(settings, photos, exct)

Jailbreaking is NOT supporrted by this community, but restoring with iTunes may help you.

HT1414 apps are gone on my iphone 5!

i recently got the new iphone 5. I had backed up my iphone 4 before restoring the iphone 5 as my phone. everything synced up, but all my apps (aside from the apple apps) are gone. how do i fix this?

i did select "sync apps" and when it asked me to sync and it would erase all my current apps, i cancelled.
Copied from your previous post.
i transferred my back up thru itunes. but when i plug in my iphone 4 again, on the apps tab, when i click sync, it says that it will erase all apps that i have now and replace them with what i have. not sure if that is what i should do. but i clicked it.
Sync Apps should have been selected all along - from day one.
Selecting it after the fact - after apps were downloaded direct from the iPhone wiill cause all apps on the iPhone being erased.
With the iPhone connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone 4.

I updated my itouch and now my apps are gone and I can't download.

So I did the ios5 update on my itouch gen4 and I synced it right before and everything was still normal. The upgrade took about 30-40 mins. I kept it pluged the whole time and after for about an hour or two but everything had stopped loading. But it only restored my photos. My music and apps are gone. Which wouldnt be a huge deal but I when I started to download my apps from the app store, the first worked but everything from then won't download. It's not my internet because safari works but the apps just keep saying waiting. If you could help, that would be great. By the way, my ipod was not jailbroken.

- Try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try downloading the apps to the computer and then syncing. Sometimes after getting the apps in your iTunes library restoring from backup is required.

Apps are gone...
