Disappearing icons...

My App Store disappeared from my home screen. How can I get it back? I've tried restoring the home screen but that didn't do it...

The App Store can not be bought, downloaded or synced, it's installed with the 2.0 software upgrade.
If your App Store is not showing on the home screen, check to make sure it's not on another screen. You may have accidentally moved it. If it's no where to be seen then it might be blocked under settings. Go to Settings on the iPod, then General. In the fourth block down, there is Auto-Lock, Passcode Lock and Restrictions. If Restrictions says On, open it to see if Installing Apps is restricted.

Look in the Pages menus for the options and short cut keys.

Disappearing Icons/Controls in Blur Gallery and Lighting Effects Filters

About a month ago (after I downloaded Photoshop 2014 but BEFORE the most recent update); I found that the adjustable tack icon (in Field Blur) and the light icons (in Lighting Effects) have disappeared. I can still adjust their controls but they don't appear on the screen so I'm not sure where exactly they are and thus can't move them. Anyone else had this issue? This has persisted after the most recent update.

Could you please post a screenshot to illustrate the issue?
What are the Performance Preferences?
What have you done for general trouble-shooting so far (restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be of special interest)?

(Not) Disappearing icons?

After the pre-installation of Tiger and update-ing to 10.4.11 something strange happens with the icons in the Finder and Trash. When I download a file from Safari, an icon xxxxx.download appears in Finder. But when the file has been downloaded, this icon remain there and when I click on it it disappear! If I want to find the file I have to open the Downloads window from Safari and find it from there.
The other issue is with the Trash. When I try to empty the recycle bin the icons stay there and the Trash icon is as a full one. The files are deleted, but the icons remain in the Trash.
Is there anything I can do other than preinstalling the whole OS again?

Ok, Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, drag that file out again, reboot when it finishes.

Disappearing Icons From Dock

Within the past week or so, for no particular reason I can identify, my iTunes icon in my dock has disappeared. There is currently a space where it should be and when I move my cursor over it it says iTunes, but there is no icon. It is like it's invisible. This has also happened recently when I have downloaded content, say a pdf file, that then automatically opens. The Preview app opens the document fine, but then another invisible icon appears (or not, cause it's invisible) in my doc for Preview. Just like the iTunes icon, it's there, and when I move over it with my cursor, it shows it's there, but the graphical icon is just not visible.
Any clues or solutions for this? Thanks!

It may be LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted.
Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices:
Code:
<pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Disappearing Icons from Home Screen

Has anyone else experienced their icons disappearing from their home screen? Then reappear randomly by either pressing the back key or home key.... It's really weird, but it consistently happens with my Handcent SMS app. Anyone else experience that?

Cs72313, thank you for your inquiry. That is very strange. I have a Nexus also and have not noticed any of my applications disappearing from the home screen. If this is only happening with Handcent, try uninstalling the application and re-installing. Also check the reviews to see if other Nexus users are reporting this issue for Handcent and alert the developer.

There's this mysterious appearing/disappearing icon in my Dock...

...that every so often spontaneously opens up, then closes right away. I can never get a good look at it, but it appears to be a white "page" (like the TextEdit dock icon) with what looks like a green part in the upper left corner and a black part in the lower right area.
What application might that icon belong to? And should I worry about it?

To clarify, it doesn't happen after each loading of a webpage -- I'm not even sure if it is triggered by opening a web page at all. Sometimes I'll just be watching the screen and it will happen.
Again, the trouble is that the icon just appears and disappears in the Dock before I can get a good look.
I'll try to take a full-screen snapshot (Command-Shift-3) the next time it appears, and hopefully I'll catch it in time...

Disappearing icon graphics

the graphics for the icons on my desktop keep disappearing, all that remains is a dotted line around where it once was. the file name remains intact. Does any one know why? Have a screen shot but cannot see how to add it to message?

Probably a hosed LaunchServices database. Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste this one-line command into the window that pops up, and hit the command key:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
Quit the Terminal app, restart, and see if that fixes the issue.

Disappearing icons on toolbar. How do i get them back?

My icons on the toolbar keep disappearing. I can still click the button but the pictures have gone. When this happens other websites such as Facebook and Google lose their icons too. Why does this happen and how can i get them back? Do i need to update my firefox?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated my firefox

This happens to me too but in the Bookmarks Toolbar. Out of 15 or so Favicons I have on the Bookmarks Toolbar four or five disappear (pictures are gone but gray outline still remains with text, see accompanying pictures) each time I close Firefox 3.6.3 in Windows XP. If I visit the site the favicon pictures are restored, until I close the Firefox. Any suggestions. Thanks.

HT4623 Disappearing icons ios7

Having updated my iphone to iOS7, I find that many of my app icons have disappeared even though the App Store shows the apps are installed. Without an icon, of course, I cannot uninstall an app. How may I deal with this problem?

I faced the same problem. What I did was to connect the iPhone to my Mac, open iTunes, open the iPhone there to apps, carry the missing apps from iTunes to the iPhone and that was it.
Apparently, this is a bug of ios 7 which will, hopefully, be corrected with the coming ios 7 update.

Disappearing icons, iPad 2

Just today, a folder I created named "Health" and several Yoga and health-services icons located within that folder have completely disappeared from my iPad 2. When I search fot them from the search page, they show up in the list and run. But they can't be found in settings or anywhere else.
Rebooting and syncing haven't helped.
Ideas?????

I certainly don't think that you could age content restrict those apps in order to hide them so my suggestions are ...
Swipe from screen to screen to look for them ....
Or
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad name on the left side to select it. Click on the Apps tab on the right. Look through the list of apps. When you find one of the missing apps - double click on it in the list and it should show you which screen it is on - on the iPad.

Disappearing icons (hidden)

When I look for some Word or Excel files I know are there, they are neither visible as icons or in lists, but can be seen and opened from inside Word and Excel.
Does anyone know how this could occur? How can it be fixed? Sometimes, tghey are visible, but disappear when double-clicked.

RSpradlin, thanks for your inquiry. This issue is normally caused when an application is installed to the SD card and the SD is somehow unmounted mostly by plugging it into a computer. Do you have an SD card adapter that you are using with this device? If so, try moving those apps back to the internal memory. Are the same applications disappearing each time? Try uninstalling the app then re-installing.

Disappearing icons in my dock

So my wife and I just purchased our very first iMac. Wicked awesome. But I was playing around with my dock station and accidentally removed the two icons that were originally to the left of the Trash. These were the pdf and download icons. Where did they go and how can I put them back onto the dock? I looked in Finder but couldn't see them. Please help me.

The Downloads folder is at
<startup volume>/Users/<your short user name>/Downloads/
Show the icon for the Downloads folder in any Finder window. Click and hold on it, and drag it to the Dock to the right of the vertical line. Drop it where you want it. Once you drop it, you can drag it around to change the exact location, but if you drop it off the Dock, it disappears in a poof.
Note: You can add any document or folder to the right side of the vertical line. To the left side of the vertical line, you can add any application. Just drag and drop the application icon as you did above. You can remove apps you do not use often from the Dock. Applications are located at
<startup volume>/Applications/
<startup volume>/Applications/Utilities/
I'm not sure what the "pdf" icon is. Could that be the Documents folder? It's located at the same place as Downloads. Just do the same thing.

Disappearing Icons in the Dock on Restart

When I restart my computer, the icons in my dock rearrange and two in particular disappear. The same ones disappear each time. HELP!

Removing the com.apple.dock.plist and restarting solved the problem for me too. My problem was that my 'Preview' icon on my Dock became invisible; there was a space where it used to be, and clicking in the space still opened Preview, but you couldn't see it. After doing the procedure above, it brought back the Dock like it was on the original install of Snow Leopard. I just had to drag some applications to the Dock again to make it like it was. And when I dragged Preview to the Dock, it finally appeared! (I had tried repairing the disc from the OS X install disc, etc. and nothing worked before this.) Thanks again soooo much!

Disappearing icons in home screen - Iphone 4, iOS 5.0

I have some issues with the home screen icons. Some of them dissapear and appear again with no pattern o reason at all. I've uploaded a video in which you can see how iTunes, Photos, Contacts, Viber, Maps... dissapear and appear again when changing the screen. It's a restored iPhone4 with iOS5.0. A hard reset was performed but it didn't work... any clue?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If that does not help... See Here:

Mat****a DVD-RAM-841S - Failure and disappeared icon - Code 19

Hi.
I am hoping some one can help asap as its a massive problem.
I turned my A series dual core laptop on to find no DVD drive present, no icons, and nothing working.
So i checked the device drivers to find this problem:
*Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)*
*Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.*
I have checked and there was no solution.
I have uninstalled and resintalled the device drivers and no luck it says it wont work.
Please help :)
Thank you

Right i followed that link and tried to install the automatic guide...
Sadly my computer wouldnt activate it and it refused to open.
So i follwed step 2 and for first time in my life used the registry editor.... that was interesting!
BUT i got it working, i deleted the values it said and rebooted and BANG! DVD drive is back!
Thank you very much that was a great reply and good fast service :)
