Apps randomly disappearing

Has anybody had app store apps randomly disappear from their phones? I've had a few do that, and I think it's apps that had an update. For instance, I had tap tap revenge on, then I read (on web) that it got an update. I went to the app store, click the update button and it said that there were no apps that needed updating. I went back to my phone, and tap tap revenge was no longer there. I then re-downloaded the app, and it knew that I had "purchased" it. The same thing happened "myLite".
I have a lot of apps, and only a few show up in my iTunes, so I don't think it's iTunes sync that is erasing it.
Anyone?
Thanks

Yes, I have had multiple apps "disappear" from my iPhone. I download them, use them, then they just seem to "vanish" from the phone.
Not sure if this has something to do with the way that apps are downloaded and stored on the iPhone, vs when you download them to iTunes then sync them to the phone from iTunes. I haven't completely gotten my brain around the way that iTunes and the iPhone manage apps. If you download an app from iTunes then updates will appear in the "Applications" section of your iTunes application. But if you downloaded it on the phone, then the upgrade shows up in the App Store on the phone. Confusing to me... Maybe someone has an easy explanation for why Apps are managed this way?

Apps randomly disappearing off Moto Droid

Just opened my app drawer to look something up on Engadget, and what do you know, it seems to have disappeared off my phone completely. This has happened with a few other apps over the last couple days. Anbody else having this issue?

I never heard of that one, sounds like you better call GhostBuster... Just Playing, but seriously I haven't heard of that happening and I really don't get how it can be possible because the phone doesn't allow you to remove anything without acknowledging the uninstall first.
That's a strange one.... Are you using Launcher Pro because it has a option to hide apps from the drawer, Try holding on homescreen and select Shortcut from the list and see if the app shows in the list for shortcuts, if so then the app isn't uninstalled but somehow the shortcut on drawer is hidden or removed.

Music randomly disappears during sync with iPhone

When I sync my iPhone with my MacBook Pro, music randomly disappears from my iTunes library. The first time, 100 items "could not be found," then the last time 10 items "could not be found." Songs are still listed in the library, but they will not play and they have an exclamation point next to them. I have everything backed up on an external drive, but it's a pain to have to keep dragging songs back over. This problem began after my most recent OS X update. The items are very random and incude songs purchased from iTunes, songs from CDs I own and "digital book" downloads included with albums I purchased through iTunes. I would very much appreciate any help. I'm afraid to sync music anymore!

Unfortunately, this does not fix my issue. The battery indicator still disappears sometimes (not always) when syncing and I always have the sidebar showing. BTW, this only happens with my 5S not with my wife's 5 or my iPad 3. It used to happen with the 5 that used to be mine until I got the 5S and gave the 5 to my wife. Because of this I think it has something to do with some app I have loaded (but since I have many apps it would be very hard to track down).

My music store search bar randomly disappears ever since installing IOS7 on iPhone and Ipad.

When using the "Store" link in the to left corner of the Music App to go to the music store to make a purchase, my music store search bar randomly disappear. This started after installing ios 7 on both my iPhone 5S and Ipad. When this happens I am unable to search for music to purchase. App Store search bar for actual apps seems to work fine.

Same here. I'm guessing what may have happened is that the HTML page in the app or the content on that page may have only partially loaded, and unfortunately there is no way to trigger a refresh of that page - either through any user activity like reopen the app, or any refresh button.

My Notes are randomly disappearing on IPhone 4

My Notes are randomly disappearing on IPhone 4; is there anyway to retrieve them?

I have a Verizon iPhone 5 and just had a note disappear before my eyes...
I opened the app, was looking at the note, and it simply vanished...the app did not crash, and it is no longer listed in my list of notes...
This is not the first time my notes have gone missing with this new phone...never had this issue with my old iPhone 4...
Frustrating to say the least...

I am using iCloud email and my emails are randomly disappearing before I can read them. They are not in any folders on my iPhone and I am having to call apple to have the last 7 days of email sent to me in order to retrieve what is being lost.

I am using an apple email account and my emails are randomly disappearing before I get a chance to read them. They are not anywhere on my device, not trash, junk etc. The only solution from apple has been to resend me the past 7 days of email in order for me to retrieve the missing emails. This has taken me hours on the phone with apple support with no solution. I just don't know what to do. They have gone over the settings with me and nothing has solved the problem. I don't know where to start since it is happening on all my devices.

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

Why are my iCal calendars randomly disappearing with all their corresponding events?

Why are my ical calendars randonly disappearing? I updated to Maverick, but one disappeared before I did that update. I have 10 different calendars, each identified by its own color, example: "work" calendar is yellow, my personal calendar is green. Every month or so, one randomly disappears without my even being in the program or changing anything. Along with the calendar ALL its events are gone as well. None of those events show on my iphone, imac, ipad or macboook pro. They just vanish, along with many appointments I have scheduled, and their directions and info. Im SO FRUSTRATED! Im ready to go back to paper.

HT3576 How do you fix the problem that happens when if I open my notification for an app, it disappears on the Notification Center?

I was updating an app on my iPad (seeds pro), and when it was fully updated, I opened it. I tried to use a feature on it, but it said I need push notifications enabled. I was looking around in the notification part of the settings app, and when I go back to the specified app, it still didn't let me use the feature. But the additional thing is that now, when I open a notification for ANY app, or at least open the app, it disappears from the Notification Center. I really need help in fixing this bug or problem or whatever it is.

It didn't work like that before. And I know it wasn't a new feature in the iOS7 update, I've never had my notifications deleted from the Notification Center until a week ago. Before that, I kept my notifications in the Notification Center.

HT201272 My You Tube launcher app has disappeared from the home page and can't be found. How do I reinstate it?

The You Tube launcher app has disappeared from my home screen. How can I reinstate it?

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 and there is Jasmine), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

Services for object buttons randomly disappearing from FB03

Hello SAP Experts,
We display an FI document via tcode FB03 (Display Document) and use the "services for object" buttons to attach documents via the "create attachment" button and also to view attached documents via the "attachment list" button.
However, quite often when displaying the FI document after a document has been attached, the "services for objects" buttons are not displayed. Just a blank toolbar appears.
Later on the when the FI document is displayed again via tcode FB03 (Display Document), the "services for objects" buttons do appear and the attachments can then be displayed.
As the attachments can be viewed sometimes, I would say that this issue is not related to security.
Any idea's what maybe causing the "services for objects" buttons randomly disappearing???

I was trying to figure out how to stop my pinned apps from disappearing after I've shut-down my computer during storms. In the process of trying things I lost the Orange Firefox drop down box in the upper left corner. How do I get it back?

Question 1 - How do I restore the Orange Firefox drop-down box that was originally at the top of the screen.
Question 2 - How do I undo the last command I changed
Question 3 - How do I prevent my pinned apps from disappearing. I have about 10 loaded and it's a pain to have to reload those several days a week. Seems to only happen if I shut down the computer.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Right-click a toolbar).
*Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

What do you mean with Question 2: ''How do I undo the last command I changed'' ?
Which last command are you referring to?

Permissions Randomly Disappearing/Reverting in SharePoint 2010

Hi everyone,
A couple of our SharePoint team sites have been experiencing an unusual phenomenon where user permissions randomly disappear or revert--all seemingly without any user involvement. I have inspected the Security Audit Logs for the past months, scouring permissions
activity surrounding these events, but I have not been able to identify any user involvement that could have caused or even contributed to these issues.
One site had a folder whose entire permissions setting became blank. Another site's group ownership reverted to a previous user who moved to a different department several months ago.
We do occasionally restore corrupted Sharepoint items from our DPM backups, but these particular sites and items have not been restored.
I have been reading through several forums and online resources, but I haven't found anything definitive. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Enable Site Collection Auditing on the Site Collection (in Site Settings). There is an option to record change in user permissions/groups. You may also want the Edit Items option.
This should give you a better idea of what is going on next time this happens.
