Can't find app icon on iPhone

I downloaded an app earlier today (My Favs contact software). The download was successful, but I can't launch the app unless I manually search for it on my iPhone. Any ideas? Thanks.

Same thing happened to me and I was sure I had synced the app to my phone. I could find it by searching but it definitely wasn't anywhere as an icon, alone or in a folder. Finally thought to check how many pages of icons I had haphazardly added (easiest to see in iTunes> your phone's name when connected > apps, since they number the pages) and I had reached the 11 page limit. I organized most of my apps into folders and reduced down to 6 pages .... Then had to reboot and lo and behold, there it was - along with half a page of icons for other apps that I had forgotten about and weren't showing up before! This is a hazard when you keep picking up games and apps when they go free for a while. I try to only keep a few on my phone (unchecking the rest in itunes>my phone when connected > apps) so I can test them out gradually, but it got away from me rather easily over the past year. I now have two folders full of "task lists" to try out, for instance! You can see I really do desperately need a proper task list, if I ever find time to find the right one. (Catch-22.)
Apple should incorporate a warning message when we reach that magic 11 page limit, at least ... I like to be told by my gadgets when I'm about to do something stupid.

  • Where can I find apps for my iPhone 2?

    I have an iPhone 2 and since syncing various times, I have lost such apps as tranline, twitter, facebook etc.  Is there a site or similar where I could download older versions of the apps, compatible with ios 2 x ?

    No. If not in your iTunes library, you can only get apps from the app store. You can use this site to search for apps that will run on your phone:

  • Can't find App icon?

    Hi, I'm trying to download the Mountain Lion software, however, I cannot find my App store icon anywhere on my computer (even through Spotlight). Any idea as to how I can get it?

    No wonder. V10.5.8 is Leopard.
    Try Amazon >   http://www.amazon.com/Mac-version-10-6-3-Snow-Leopard/dp/B001AMHWP8/ref=sr_1_1?i e=UTF8&qid=1344773317&sr=8-1&keywords=snow+leopard+10.6
    If you purchase a disc for v10.6.3, after Snow Leopard is installed, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update which will update Snow Leopard up to v10.6.8.
    That should install the App Store for you. You can upgrade directly to Mountain Lion from Snow Leopard without having to purchase Lion.

    I can't find my icon settings on my iPhone need help please

    Did you look in the "Videos" app on your iPhone?
    It should be there.  If not, check your photos.
    If it's not in either (very unlikely), swipe your iPhone's home screen left-to-right and type the movie's name into the search bar.

    When syncing, check the Movies/TV Shows Tab in the iPhone menu, and make sure ALL movies are synced (or select the ones you want to sync)

  • Why does the App store say 'download' to OSX Mavericks when i have already downloaded the update, and restarted the computer? I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    I can't find Mavericks icon on the dashboard or launchpad either! Help!

    It sounds like you've installed Mavericks.  You can confirm this by clicking on the Apple located at the top left of the screen and choosing "About This Mac" from the menu.  You should see a window appear with the text "Version 10.9.1" near the middle.
    If it says "Version 10.9.1", then you've installed Mavericks.  It still says "Download" in the App Store because you can still download the operating system after installing it.  This is useful if you want to download it for a friend, or create a USB boot drive.

  • I used to have iPhone 4 and now I have an iPhone 5S iCloud restored everything but whatsapp and now I can install it as it says it's already installed but I can't find the icon anywhere and I have searched the phone but uselessly !!? Please help I need it

    I can't uninstall whatsapp as I can't find the icon anywhere

    Did you try:
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    If so then could be a hardware problem sinc it also says:
    If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
    If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
    Problem solved.
    And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

    Sounds like the movie didn't finish downloading before the Wi-Fi signal dropping ...
    Try re downloading. You won't be charged again.

  • I can't find app for iPad first generation! Why ?

    I Had an iPad first generation  and I can't find app under iOS 5.......why And sometime m'y IPad close alone.

    Apple requirements now ask to make them for iOS 7 and above. iPad 1 has become outdated and there are barely, if any, apps available for this device.
    If your iPad restarts on it's own, try restoring to factory settings.

  • App Store can't find apps

    Even when I type the exact name of the app, App Store can't find apps I know worked very recently.
    Example: Shoeboxed Business Card Reader
    If you search it in App Store you get absolutely no response. It's a product. They have a link to it on their website. But, if you alternatively go to their website and try to get it from iTunes:
    HootSuite is also a widely used app. Or, it was. It's also not in the iPhone search for apps, and won't let you install it from iTunes either.
    If you go from the website direct link:
    It's not in the Canadian store either, by the way.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, I have been in touch with the Apple Support but they have not given to me a time to the problem be solved, it seems to be a general issue
