Deleted Photo App icon

my son deleted the Photo App icon and I can only access it through Camera, how can I restore it?

I thought you had solved my problem, but come to find out that this only works if the Passcode lock is turned on. I turned it on to set the Picture Frame to "off" and then turned the Passcode lock off. The icon is still on the startup screen. If I turn passcode lock on, the icon goes away, turn it off, it is back. Sure would like to find another way to get rid of it.

I had deleted my Apps Icon from the phone as I was trying to update the new version iOS4.3.
However, after deleteing the Icon, I am not able to install the Apps Messenger again because I am not able to use the IOS.4.3 diagnostic password sent via email.
Installation was rejected because I need the iOS.4.3
Thanks for your help

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

Go to Settings - General - Usage and see which apps are taking up a lot of space.
In my experience, if you haven't cleaned out your Messages that is where a lot of space is consumed.

Photo App Icon On Startup Screen

Hey Folks,
Anybody know how to make the Photo app icon NOT show on the locked screen? Not the Home screen, the screen with the slider.
Thanks,
Robert

Accidentally deleted the photos app icon from my iPhone 4s.

I've read the previous threads on this topic but none quite fit the bill. I need to re-install the Photos icon, which has disappeared.
This happened while I was holding my phone but not paying attention; when I looked again the icons were all shaking. I don't know how the icon disappeared because the factory defaults don't offer a delete option, but the icon definately disappeared at that time.
The app itself is still there and, because it was running when I deleted the icon, I can currently still access it by double clicking the main button, where app (and icon) is still accessible there at the bottom of the screen. But this is not convenient for general usage, and if I hard close the app from there then I will have no way to open the Photos app.
I can't re-download the app because it is a factory default app and not available anywhere (and as such shouldnt be deletable!).
The icon isnt hiding anywhere amongst my subfolders, and I've checked for restrictions but there arent any.
Restetting the home screen layout to factory defaults presumably means I will lose all the other app icons I have, and their sub folders etc, which I dont want to do either.
I have now backed up my phone and all my photos etc, but if I restore my phone from a previous backup, I will lose the data and messages I've acquired isince then.
All I want to do is re-install the icon and make sure it links to the photos app that is still installed - surley that can't be so hard?
All help appreciated.
I don't have a Mac and run Windows 7 on a Sony VAIO. All versions of iTunes and IoS are up to date.

PROBLEM SOLVED
ANSWER The exact same thing happened to me today. I accidently deleted my Photo app (with over a 1000 photos in it) but I could still access it by pressing the home button twice. This is because it was with the background running apps (when you press the home button twice it shows all the apps running in the background) but it would not let me drag it to the Home screen.
Well so I was anxiously reading this thread at church to see what to do (I did a search for, 'I accidently deleted my Photo app' and how I came across this thread). Anyway, I searched all my subfolders and everywhere IT WAS NOT IN ANOTHER FOLDER AND THE PHOTO ICON WAS COMPLETELY GONE FROM ANY OF THE DESKTOPS.
Anyway, my phone was dying and no way to charge it so it died at church and so I connected it to my car charger in my car when leaving church and after the iphone came on again, there was the Photo App on my desktop!
So my advice is to let it completely run out of it's charge then later plug into a charger. I have the iPhone 4S going on almost 2yrs now and this is the first time this has happened to me! I was in a hurry getting ready for church and pressed it accidently so I know exactly when it happened (when all the apps have x's and you can delete them ...).
I always delete the backgound running apps to save battery power but I thought now I can never delete the Photo background running app or will lose everything! Hope this works for you all. I know I can connect it to my desktop and all but try this first - much easier...

Delete photos trashcan icon on left side?

whenever you delete photos from your extinct camera roll you used to click, select > (select the photo) > and then on the bottom right corner there was a trashcan icon, witch was very easy, now with ios8 I try to delete some photos and there was no trashcan icon on the regular location, now its on the left side at the upper side, making it a little bit difficult, since we (almost everyone) normally use the right hand for everything. it would be nice to have the option to chose on what side the icons will be. as well deleting photos now its more difficult, since if you delete photos, still there will be other albums with that same "deleted" photo, which is non-sense, and then even if you delete the photo you need to delete the photo from the recently deleted album???? for real!! common! its illogical, I love apple, but seriously i am thinking in moving to other platform, in other words Huawei p7, if this continue to happen I definitely will move and make sure that my wife and friends start to think in moving as well, its very slow, glitch, some apps are cutted in half and I mean really in half, for example the Line app its cutted In half when I open it, I need to close it and open it again for it to work better, this *****, as well when Im writing an email, I finish my writing and the keyboard keeps working!! that *****! hope there is an update if not I wouldn't mind selling my ipad and iPhone to a new apple lover, and move to Huawei p7, hopefully something can be done for the good of thousands of apple customers that are thinking in moving away from apple.

They will probably take it more seriously if you omit the profanity. It makes what you write seem puerile.
It will take more than omitting the profanity to fix that.

I don't have the Photo app icon on my home screen. Where do I get this from in order to see all my photos from photo stream?

I don't have the Photo app on my home screen. Where do I find this? I think this is what I must use to view photos from my photo stream?

My photo icon on icloud.com did not appear until I went to my device (ipad in my case) and went to settings...Photos and Camera and toggle on iCloud Photo and Library (Beta) then refresh the icloud.com page.

Can I delete photos app and start again? How?

Ok, I've been really daft and did not ever know that there was a photo trash can in iPhoto. So for years in iPhoto I've been deleting or rather just removing photos and not thinking much of it.
Just did my mac updates and notice I now have Photo. Open up and wow I now have 100s of photos that I thought I had deleted, some years ago.
With over 16,000 photos in total this is not a job I want to go through sifting and deleting the rubbish again.
I opened my time machine but can't work out how to go back. Is there any way of wiping photo and then starting again? It didn't ask me about importing or merging from iPhoto it seemed to have done it on its own. If the photos are still in iPhoto can I delete photo and reinstall after fixing the issue in iPhoto?
Afraid to do something and mess it up further and so looking for advice from someone who actually knows what they are doing!
Thank you!

You can't delete the Photos app as it's part of the system. You can continue to use iPhoto and your iPhoto library. The iPhoto app is still in the Applications folder. If it's iPhoto 9.6.1 it will work with 10.10.3. If it's not try getting 9.6.1 from the App Store following Terence Devlin's instructions below:

Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Regarding the "deleted" photos did you systematically empty the iPhoto Trash bin each time you delete photos?

Hi I deleted my app icon on my Iphone 5S today and cannot figure out how to retrieve it. I guess its called the App Store.

I deleted my App Store Icon today on my Iphone 5S and I don't know how to get it back. I actually deleted it. Can I restore it or get it back somehow?

I don't know of any way to delete the App Store app -- it's one of the built in apps that isn't supposed to be able to be deleted. Have you checked in all of the home screens and folders to see if it is somewhere else?

How to delete Duplicate app Icon on Desktop?

Hey, I have done this in the past with previous applications on my imac, but I just got a macbook pro. I was adding apps to my dock, ones I had removed earlier. I dragged the application to my desktop not realizing I couldn't delete the duplicate icons after! Simply dragging to the trash will delete the entire app, I've tried dragging back into my applications folder but it says it can't be modified. Help!

Is the app still in Applications?
If so, you've just made a copy of the application and can delete the copy.
Mountain Lion tries to protect the Applications folder from inadvertant moving of things, especially since putting things in the Dock might result in accidentally dropping. It will normally make an alias, but I haven't tested with every possibility. When you dropped it, you made a copy on your desktop. If you dragged that copy to the Dock, then drag it back out and use the one in the Applications folder.

Anyone know how to delete an app icon bookmark?

I'm using an iPhone 4 with the 5.1 iOS. I downloaded an app for LG which turned out to be just a Safari bookmark with an app icon. It looks like a regular app but when you click it - Safari opens and it takes you to the LG webpage. Now I want to get rid of it and I can't. It doesn't appear in the list of apps in iTunes in the Sync Apps area, although it does show up on the phone and in the phone panel in iTunes. When I click on the app icon in itunes (in the phone panel) - it highlights it, but there's no X, and right-clicking doesn't do anything and pressing doesn't do anything either. It does not appear in my list of bookmarks in Safari either. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks!

nevermind - figured it out. thanks anyway.

Not able to delete app icons that are in loading stage and more than 20mb, so cant be loaded completely.

I am not able to delete the app icon (loading) of more than 20MB file app.
I have downloaded them to my itunes but they just dont go away even after syncronising.
just to mention i have 3G network but no wifi at present.

Try resetting the iPad. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears and see if the loading icon is still there.
If that doesn't work, try deleting the app from the iPad and then sync it again. Delete the app by syncing with iTunes and deselect the app.
While your iPad is connected to your computer and iTunes is running, select your iPad on the left side bar, click on the apps tab in the iTunes window on the right, Uncheck the box next to the name of the app and then sync (click on apply) to remove the app from the iPad. Restart the iPad - hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears, then slide to shut down, hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears to start up.
Then connect the iPad to the computer again and go through the same process except this time select the app and click on apply to put it back onto the iPad.
See if that doesn't remove the loading icon.

How do I delete app icons such as newstands

How do I delete some App icons on my phone such as news, games, newstand and passbook

The built in apps cannot be deleted. If you don't want to see them, move them to the last screen.

I'm finding Ios7 exceeding frustrating having to spend hours reinstalling and looking for last data. For example I cannot delete photos I have synced, applications are missing. Where can I get clear instructions to fix the mess?

Where can I get clear instructions to clean up a mess that Ios7 has made of my data and info on my iPad. I can't delete photos, apps are missing, it's crazy and so frustrating. I have spent hours on this.

How did the photos get onto your iPad ? If they were synced from a computer then they can't be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - instead they are deleted by not including them in your next photo sync from your computer's iTunes.
For your apps, as long as they are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad, and via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes. If you had backed up to your computer's iTunes before starting the update then you could redownload them to your computer's iTunes and then retry restoring to your backup and see if that copies the apps and their content back (the actual apps aren't included in a backup, just their content/settings, so for a restore to work fully you need to have the relevant apps in the Apps part of your library).
