Apps installed but can't find them!

I have skygo and BBC I player apps on my iPad but overnight I cannot find the icons for the apps when I try to reinstall the apps it says I already have them installed but I can't find them to delete to then reinstall! Help me please where have they gone? Ps I have checked my folders and can't see them in there.... Hope someone can help.......

If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then are they hidden by an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions > Apps ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them 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. You could also do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which will re-arrange your apps and might make them easier to find

Apps exist but can only find them thru Search

I have an iPhone 4S with nearly 400 apps on it. Until recently, those apps were arranged in 11 neat pages of icons and folders. Then this happened:
1. I updated to IOS 6. All seemed well.
2. Tired of opening folders for some apps, I decided to make a few full pages dedicated to apps I use most. So I made one full page of my favorite Photo apps, another full page Shopping apps, etc.
3. In so doing, I reached the 11 page limit, and a whole bunch of apps weren't showing up on the screen, only on Search.
4. So I started grouping stuff into folders again so that my apps only filled 7 pages. But all that did was give me 7 pages of apps and 4 BLANK pages! The missing apps are still missing and did NOT come in to fill the empty pages that I created.
5. While desperately trying to figure out any way to get all my apps back on the screen, I read on a few forums that going into Settings -> General -> Reset and resetting the home screen layout would work. So I tried that. All that did was put all of the Apple default icons on my first page, unbundle all of my apps so that there are NO folders anymore, and put all the apps in alphabetical order from A through G onto the 11 pages that are available. All apps from H to Z are not showing up -- except if I search for them.
6. So again I try to group stuff into folders to make space. I free up several pages of space, but that's all they are -- just several BLANK pages of space! My remaining apps are NOT filling into that blank space that I've created. They're still MIA.
How the heck do I get all my apps back on the screen?!
This is frustrating. Any help you can give me would really be appreciated.

X code got downloaded from app store but can't find Xcode.app on my mac

X code got downloaded from app store but can't find Xcode.app on my mac

Check your Applicaitons folder.
Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 < your profile
Xcode's minimum requirements according to the App Store under Information is OS X v10.7.3 or later.
If you are running v10.7.2, click your Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update.
That should bring your Mac up to date to v10.7.4.
Then try re downloading Xcode.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

I am using Garageband and saving my tunes as iTunes files but can´t find them in iTunes on my computer after syncing. Where are they?

My answer in the older thread is still valid
Maybe the "iTunes Music" folder is hidden.
Please open Terminal and issue the following command
ls -ladO /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music
you should get a line similar to this
drwxrwxrwx 13 yourusername staff hidden 442 12 Mar 21:49 /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
Numbers, date and time may differ.
If you see hidden then the folder is hidden. To unhide "iTunes Music", in Terminal issue the following command
chflags nohidden /epoche/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Music

A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

HT1386 I synced my phone and now I can't find my contacts. I wanted to double check that they are on my computer but can't find them.

I synced my phone and now I can't find my contacts. I wanted to double check that they are on my computer but can't find them. Where can I look?

Where do you get your contacts from?
Do you use Outlook?
Have you made a back up of your iPhone on iTunes/iCloud when the contacts were on it?
Do you use Windows or a Mac?

Why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

why my spotlight can not find my personal files ? It can find them before but can not find them now,I want to know why?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Spotlight ▹ Privacy
The list of items excluded from Spotlight indexing is shown (it may be empty.) Click the plus (“+”) icon to add an item to the list. Select your boot volume (under DEVICES) and add it to the list. Then remove it from the list by selecting it and clicking the minus (“-“) icon.
Spotlight will rebuild the index. If you try to do a Spotlight search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, a pulsing dot will appear in the icon. When the dot disappears, the indexing is complete.

Lightroom installed but can't find it

Hi,
I just subscribed to lightroom + photoshop CC plan. I then installed photoshop and lightroom on OsX Maverick from the creative cloud application but can't find the Lightroom app...
I tried to re-install it from the lightroom disk image but it keeps asking me for a password...
How can I start the right (CC) lightroom ? Do I have to download a serial number from a torrent file as so many people do without any issue ?
Thanks.

I have no experience with the CC applications. But it seems that sometimes the "regular" Lightroom installer fails to create a shortcut for starting the program. Checking your applications folder and see if you can find the Lightroom program. You might have to create your own desktop icon. I'm saying this because I understand from what You wrote that you have already installed Lightroom. Is that correct?

I am trying to cancell a mag subscription (AWW) in the app store but can't find where to do it. I've been round

Hi I'm new to this so hope I'm doing it right. I've been trying to cancell a subscription to a magazine from the AppStore but can't seem to find any email address to contact them. I can't even find my account. I've been billed thru iTunes, but can't find contact details for them either. I thought that I had cancelled it at one address but was billed for the next issue today so obviously I got that wrong. I'm in Australia, if that makes a difference. Can anyone out there help me with this please? I'm using an ipad3 and a Mac pro. Thanks.

If it's an auto-renewing subscription then there is info on turning them off on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4098

Are they gone completely from the computer, or just no longer in the library? Check your movie media folder.
If your'e in the USA you can download some movies a second time, but not all (studio dependent). You should always back up all media.

Loops working but can't find them on Hard Drive

Sorry if this has been asked before but I installed some 3rd party loops that work great in GarageBand but I can't seem to locate them on the hard drive.
I've looked in the folders that have most of the loops stored in them but they are not there.
Any suggestions where they could be stored? In Garageband itself it seems these files are in a "My Loops" folder which I can't find on my Hard Drive either.

BB Messenger is installed, but can't find it/use it

Hi,
I've got a BB Curve (8330), from TELUS, OS is v4.3.
A friend sent me a BBM message today, and I can see the smiley face notification on my home screen, but I can't find where to read the message. I have no BBM icon in my Applications icons (I've clicked SHOW ALL), but I do have BBM 4.3 installed (it is listed in Options-Advanced Options-Applications).
I don't have a Messaging or Instant Messaging folder.
When I open Desktop Manager and go into Application Loader, there are no applications showing. In case it matters, my Desktop Manager version is 4.7.
I've read several posts in/around this topic, but I'm confused. How do I access BBM if I can't find the BBM icon? Why isn't the icon showing when the application is installed?
Thanks,
Ali

IPhoto wasn't on iMac, so I saved them, but can't find them in Finder or Time capsule

I can't find pics from a digital camera that I saved about six months ago. I looked in both Finder and Time Capsule. What gives?

If you cannot find them then you or another user moved them, erased them or possibly know how to use Finder. OS X doesn't just randomly delete photos.
Perhaps you can repost and this time provide more useful information such as theversion of OS X installed, where the files were located and what app you use to manage your photos.

ITunes saying - The song "XYZ" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? I have my songs all located on a 2TB hard drive and it still says it has 150GB on it but can't find them and they are there???

Help!
Opened iTunes to play some music on the computer tonight and its coming up that the songs cannot be located for virtually all of my iTunes library??? I store my iTunes library on a 2TB hard drive and its always worked fine but I ran iBoostup software earlier today and its hasn't worked since then although I have to admit I haven't tried it for a week. It was a free app to clean up files on the apps store.
When I click on the 2TB hard drive under the iTunes link it still comes up 150GB is in the file but it just can't find the songs???
Can anyone help?
Cheers!

The links below illustrate how your iTunes should look if you use default settings in preferences. If you don't use those settings then you have to know what you're doing.
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
The above links also illustrate the Media folder and its subfolders. Look for a file in there in the logical structure by folder artist and album. If you're lucky, linking one file will get an offer to link others and it iwll all come together again.
I see you are running OSX 10.5.8 it would help to know which version of iTunes you use now and which one you used before.
