Apps disappeared from iPhone 5 when I downloaded ios 7.

When I downloaded ios 7 to my iphone 5, many of my apps disappeared. I can find them by using the search on the phone, but there are no icons. When I go to the App Store and pull up those apps, the "Open" button is where the download button usually is. How do I get the icons back?

Hey there Daizon!
I have an article for you here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Battery life seems short
Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
Note: Charging with a FireWire-based power source is not supported, except on original iPhone.

Downloaded Apps Disappeared from iPhone 5S

All downloaded apps disappeared from my iPhone 5S. The restriction setting is off and I don't have hidden apps. I tried to reset my phone, but did not work either. When I checked from App Store, it said "open", but I couldn't click open. When a new app finished installing, it also disappeared. HELP!

Assuming you don't have any restrictions set on your apps (Settings --> General --> Restrictions, Apps)
If the app has suddenly disappeared, but when you go to the App Store can it says "Open" instead of insta//download, that means the app is still there, but iOS seems to have lost track of it.
You can try backing up and restoring from a backup.
Or
You can try deleting the app and re-installing:
Settings --> Usuage (wait for the app list to load) and then you delete it there, and then re-install.
(You WILL lose ALL data that was saved under that app tho!)

Calendar app disappeared from iphone ios7

Just noticed that my Calendar app disappeared from my iPhone 5 - ios7. It was visible after upgrade, although I hardly use it, but noticed today that it had disappeard. Anyone know how to get it back, or what happened?

I did a Spotlight Search, and it's not there. The "Gadgets" I'm talking about is "Gadgets by Esteve Fiol Sastre" and it's a bunch of tools like level, flashlight, protractor, etc., and that one is not in the App Store. If something is removed from the App Store, does it automatically disappear from the iPhone? Thanks, fselce

Safari app disappeared from iPhone screen

Safari app
disappeared from my ipone screen

You can't delete it. Look through all your screens and in all your folders. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore it (and other iOS apps) to its original location.

Music and apps lost from iphone, Can I download already purchased music from itunes again?

I recently had a problem and apps on my iphone would not open, so I restored my phone to the factory settings and I lost all of my apps and music because I failed to sync them properly, can I download the songs and apps I already purchased on itunes again? how?

Sorry, but officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
For redownloading apps, look here for instructions. For songs, movies, and videos, if you don't have a backup of your purchased items and don't have them on another iOS device, you may be out of luck and will need to repurchase your content.
If you have your content on an iOS device, post back and someone here can help you get them restored. Otherwise you can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis.
Regards.

Email disappearing from iPad when I download in iMac

My wife is having the problem that looks like the ISP's (GCI.net) email server is deleting email from my iPad.
With her iMac off, when she is traveling, she can download and read email on her iPad. All the email stays there, unless she intentionally deletes something.
BUT, when she get home from a trip and goes to check email using Apple's Mail on her iMac, which is set to "Remove from server ...," she can WATCH as the email disappears from her iPad -- I have watched this. This has been very frustrating, as I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. My old PowerMac and my older iPod Touch has no problem with GCI email. I have gobs of savedemail on the iPod with the same Mail settings on the PowerMac (I do plan to upgrade to an Intel Mac, this fall, btw).
Searching the web and here inthe Apple forums, I have so far not found anyone with this situation. It acts like the email content on the iPad is only what is on the GCI.net servers. When my iMac removes those, they disappear from the iPad. But, I seen no settings on the iMac or iPad that will fix this. I have tried everything I can think of.
Her Gmail account works fine on her iPad.
The iMac is set up with POP account. (As is my PMG5). The iPad was forced to set up a POP account (as a possible solution) for GCI email because the default IMAP is where we first discovered the issue of the server appearing to delete email from the iPad.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Some of the older 30-pin-to-USB cables have catches on the iPad end. The connector block on them extends further from the iPad than the ones without the catch; they are almost square. You have to squeeze the sides of the connector to disengage the catches.
I'm not sure what being in iTunes has to do with it, though.

Why has a tv show I downloaded disappeared from Videos when I downloaded another tv show?

I downloaded the 3rd season of Absolutely Fabulous on my iPad 2, having already previously downloaded seasons 1 & 2. However, the 3rd season now appears 3 times in Videos, as does season 2, and season 1 has disappeared along with another tv show that was previously in Videos.
I removed season 3, and all my shows then returned to Videos as they were before. I re-installed Season 3 and the same thing has happened again!
Anyone else had this problem?

The circle with square is the download status indicator. It should disappear after the show has completley downloaded onto the iPad.
Try closing the videos app and reset the iPad, then go back to the Videos App and see if the shows are working. If the cloud icon still shows, try tapping them again in order to download the shows.
In order to close the videos app, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset 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.

Pages app disappeared from iPhone

Setup: I have an iPhone 5S, iPad Air, and two Macs (mini and 13" Retina MBP) all running latest iOS and Mac OS X respectively. I always download all updates. I have just downloaded (two days ago) the latest Pages, Numbers, Keynote updates. On my iPhone I have 'deleting apps' turned off in restrictions and I have all three iWork apps in a folder.
Issue: today, when I looked at my phone the Pages icon has disappeared. Searching for pages doesn't show it in search. When I go to the App Store it says 'Open' but when I touch that, nothing happens. I have tried switching the phone off and on again but the situation persists.
Next step: Go to restrictions allow deleting apps. Download app and documents again.
I will try this and see if it works but it doesn't fill me with confidence as this could theoretically happen on the iPad too and I need all three apps for mission critical work on a daily basis.
I will report what happens next here.

OK just went to Usage and deleted it from there. Saw this unusual image with the icon showing but no name next to it:
Its OK this time because its Sunday afternoon/ evening here in the UK and I have WiFi to make it all pretty painless but it would have been different in a work or mobile situation where I needed the Pages app and my documents.
Also, since this happened after the last update, I hope this isn't going to happen on all my other devices too...

App disappearing from blackberry when installed

Hi,
couple of days ago, i've started to install applications on my blackberry OTA. I clicked on the icon and the bb browser opens then I installed. Then, after install, the app would just disappear!
I've checked all the folders, I've unhidden all the apps to see whether it got hidden but that was not the case either. I've checked application list by going to options-->advanced options-->applications and verified that app has been successfully installed but there is no sign of the app anywhere!
Today I've installed bb messenger the same way and after the install, bb messenger icon disappeared as well! In fact, it's not even running!!!!
Please help I'm dying! I am pretty sure it's the software problem and some setting probably is set wrong.
Twitter: @gyubok

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Check the applications and download folders and make sure you scroll all the way up and down.
If you see them in the applications installed list, try this:
No data will be lost when doing the following: pull the battery while the device is ON.
Replace after a minute, Let the device reboot 1-3 min, see if the problem is fixed.
If that doesn't work :
Go to options advanced options, Host Routing Tables, click to enter. DO NOT click on any listing.
Press menu key, and select register now.
You will get a verification email. Then go to email settings and send service books.
You will get an email per account. Repeat the battery pull and see if the icons appear.
Thanks,

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine until I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded it from iTunes, my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers. Can I go back and re-sync one app from my old phone?

I upgraded from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 6. Everything converted fine. Yesterday I deleted an app in error. When I downloaded the software it from iTunes ( did this many times on the old 3GS), my account is no longer recognized by the app's host servers (Playtika), even though it did after the initial conversion. Can I go back and re-sync just one app from my old phone?

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

When I downloaded iOS 6 or whatever to my iPhone 4S, it took away my sounds like texting, ringtones, iTunes, and speakerphone. What do I do?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

*I not good for english *
Iphone 5 ios 8.1.1 Thanks.

Not long ago my wife signed on to my Apple ID so she could get some of my songs. Maybe that has something to do with it? I double checked that my apple ID was the one that purchased the songs and is the current ID signed on to my phone. Also, just to see if it made any difference. I signed out of my ID and signed back in, now all of the songs that were listed and needing to be downloaded are gone completely. I went to iTunes and they are showing as purchased but not able to download. any suggestions?

Mac Apps and iOS apps are not the same.

HT203433 I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need

I downloaded apps with one appleid on my iphone. When my account was disabled I set up a new appleid & account. Now I cannot update apps on my iphone that were downloaded with original appleid when I login with my new apple id. What do I need to do?

You can write into support and ask for help reenabling the account through this link here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
Since the applications were purchased on the older account, you will need to log into that account to update them. The newer account will not recognize the purchases because they are not a part of the purchase history for the specific account.
