Apps disappeared after ios 6/restore

I tried to update to ios 6.0 last night, but was told i would have to do a complete restore. Backed up everything on computer, then did the restore.
Now my little apps have disappeared from my display. how do i get them back?

Sync your phone with iTunes.
If your apps are still missing then:
1) Look on other screens for the missing apps. Just above the dock (icons on very bottom) there is a row of tiny white dots. Each dot represents a screen. Keep swiping to the left even if you get to a blank screen.
2) The apps could have been grouped. Look for icons with other smaller icons in them. Tap to expand. Tap and hold an app until it wiggles, to drag it out of the group.

IMessage app disappeared after iOS 8.3 upgrade

It didn't disappear immediately; was able to send a couple messages earlier today. But since this afternoon, I cannot find the app anywhere on my iPhone 5s. If I go into my contacts and send a message to someone through there, it works and I can see the previous messages back and forth with that particular person. But the app iself is just gone.

Hi webdoyenne,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are unable to locate your Messages application on your iPhone. There may be a couple of different steps I would recommend in this situation.
First, I suggest searching for Messages with Spotlight as described in the attached article below. If the application is able to be found, please look on all pages of applications and in folders to locate the application.
Search with Spotlight - Apple Support
If you are still unable to locate Messages, you may want to consider resetting your Home Screen Layout. To complete this task, please use the attached iOS 8 User Guide (page 28) as a reference.
https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
Start over. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Reset Home Screen Layout to return the Home screen and apps to their original layout. Folders are removed and the original wallpaper is restored.
Best regards,
Joe

HT1199 has anyone had all their app disappear after a full restore from time machine

lost my system preferences, safari all but Itunes and iphoto

Try spotlight to see if it will locate them. Unfortunately you've asked the question without updating your profile so we have no way of knowing which OS and version of it you are using.

Thanks for your quick response. I've tried everything you suggested and get only temporary fixes. Sometimes for a day or two, sometimes only until I use Safari for the first time. It's annoying and probably effects battery life between charges.
You would think that it must have some effect on the battery, but oddly enough, the update to iOS 8 actually helped my battery life, in spite of all of these hinky little issues that are taking place. In my experience, the activity icon is not affecting the battery in a negative way.
Another issue with IOS 8.1 that you may have seen is the loss of icon pictures on home pages. Again it seems to be Safari related, since app icons found in the App Store are not affected, only web based icons you personally put on home pages. I get what I call a test screen similar to what you used to get on old tv sets on every one of my personal icons.
I know exactly what you mean. I got that as well. On a few of them, when I opened the websites using the generic test screen icons and then closed them, they changed back to the way that they should look. For the ones that did not change, I recreated the home screen shortcuts and deleted the generic looking ones - the test screen icons.
And don't get me started on iBooks.
For the very limited use that I make of the iBooks app, i haven't noticed any problems, but I rarely use the app. I don't read books on the iPad other than a few user guides and if they are pdf guides, they reside in more reliable and feature rich pdf apps on my iOS device.
I wish that I had the fix for the spinning activity icon, but everything that I try, is temporary at best. IMO, this is the buggiest iOS update that I have seen, and I have been using iOS devices since iOS 3 on my first iPad. I realize that there are plenty of people that are not experiencing issues, but I have seen a number of weird things that I wish I could fix. None of my problems are major, but they are annoying.

I can't connect to App Store after iOS 7 upgrade, I can't connect to App Store after iOS 7 upgrade

I can't connect to the App Store after iOS 7 upgrade

I could always connect, but I couldn't search for anything.
Just tried the steps in this thread:
Log out (Settings > iTunes & App Store) then did a hard reset (Home and Power button) then signed back in.
That worked for me.

Espn radio app disappeared after restore

I had to restore my iphone because it had nearly 5GB of "other" files. All my purchased apps disappeared, including espn radio. When I try to sync apps, itunes tells me this computer is not authorized for this app, even after I go to Store and Authorize this computer. Huh??? I'd rather not buy the app again if I don't have to.

Delete the app then restore it from iCloud it worked fine for me.

Apps Disappear after upgrading IOS

I use my iphone for work and upgraded my IOS. This then erased not only my weather and Clock applications, but erased my Security "Soft Token" application. I then went to the App Store and tried to get the Security App reloaded, but it says it is "installed" so I am stuck

FIRST, reboot your phone and try the apps again. The symptom you are seeing means that the app is there but is crashing when you launch it.
Second, you do not have the same problem. The OP reports built-in apps disappearing. You are having a problem with purchased apps.
And lastly, if the apps are gone you can redownload them without paying for them again. This works for apps, but not for music.

Check the Mac's startup disk just in case. Launch Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions). If the startup disk needs repairing, follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to Verify or Repair Disks

All newly installed apps disappear after the installation is done?

My problem started a few days ago. I install a new app from the app store and it shows up as loading on the home screen. As soon as the installation is done the icon simply disappears. Finder cannot locate it and the store shows the OPEN button, but it does nothing when pressed.I tried settings/general/usage/storage and the missing apps are there but the name of the missing apps does not show. I only see the icon and the size. I can delete the apps from there but reinstalling them does not help.

Unfortunately that did not help. It seems that there is a limit on the number of apps that can be shown on the home screen. I have close to 200 apps installed, and they are organized in folders on the home screen (3 pages). I must have hit the limit for apps in the home screen. I can install new apps, but they will not show up. If i delete one of the old apps then install a new one it will show on the home screen. I believe when the count gets to 189 then the next one (#190) will disappear after installation.

App disappeared after system upgrade

After a system upgrade one of my apps disappeared. How do I get it back?

Easiest thing is to load your backup
Beyond that a lot more information is needed and it may be difficult and/or expensive - which is of cousre why you always have a backup and especially before doing any upgrades or updates - if you do not you are 100% guarenteed to lose your photos and other files sooner or later

I am going to have to restore my iTunes to a prior date, how can I retrieve apps purchased after the chosen restore date?

I appear to have "lost" many of the songs, and videos, in my iTunes. The songs/videos show, but when I attempt to access them, it says it can't find the file and offers to search. In the search the song/video shows, but is greyed out. If I restore I tunes to a prior date, how do I retrieve apps that were purchased after the chosen restore date?
Thanks,
Dale

Icloud is made up of many services. you may choose to use or not use any or all of these services. One of the many services it provides is that it allows you to redownload past purchases.
"I prefer to keep all of my information on my Mac, and a local backup drive."
As you should. That is why, if you have lost your comtent, you should redownload that lost content from icloud to your computer and back it up, using the directions I provided to you.
"lso, I don't recall setting up a iCloud account. "
Does not matter at all. You do not need an icloud account. Forget you ever heard the word icloud. Perhaps if we stop using that word, you will understand. Itunes now allows you to download your past purchases again - instead of the one download only rule that has existed orior to now. You can download your purchases to your computer again.
You seem to be getting hung up on the word icloud, so imply forget you heard it.
Follow the direction in the link I provided to download the songs, etc that you have lost. Once downloaded, they will once again reside on your computer where you can back them up and sync them to device as you always have.
nothing at all changes.
Hope this helps.

YouTube icon and app disappeared after recent upgrade

I recently did an upgrade and afterward my YouTube icon and app disappeared. I just want it back! I went to the App Store and can't even find just plain ol' YouTube. How can I get it back?

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

Music app disappeared after 7 upgrade

When upgrading to 7, once the install was completed, my music app disappeared. Any ideas or suggestions on how to get it back? I see the Music app in the settings and when I search for it in spotlight, nothing appears exept some Brad Paisley songs and if I click on one of the songs I get the following error message.
Unsupported URL
This URL wasn't loaded:
music://play/?pid=2109294357762107214
Please help!
Thanks all!

Have you tried restarting the phone? Restoring it? If neither of those work I'd contact Apple.
