Exclamation Point & Duplicate App Icon - iTunes App Screen

I just did a sync of my iPhone 3G. In iTunes in the Apps screen on my PC some of the App icons have been duplicated and there is an exclamation point in front of them. So:
1) What does this mean?
2) How do I correct it with minimum muss & fuss?
**Please note: due to previous bad encounters with 0S4 I *will not* be installing it, so please don't suggest that. Furthermore, since iTunes 9.2 will not function properly without OS4, I am using iTunes 9.1.1. (See my previous post regarding issues with iTunes 9.2 & my 3G iPhone.)
Thanks,
~TT~

Right clicking on the duplicate with the exclamation point brings up a pull down menu that says:
- Get Info
- Show in Windows Explorer
- Delete
Get info = The Application "name of application" could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" It then brings up the location if you continue on.
Meanwhile it now seems that MOST of the duplicate App icons have this duplicate with the !, while a couple just seem to be duplicates.
Again, I'm wondering as to the cause of this & how to correct it without having to do major stuff.
Thanks,

Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes
iTunes: Restoring iOS software

HT4623 I hit update on my phone for the new software update and now on my homescreen it has the usb plug with the arrow pointed up and the Itunes app.

I went to do software update on my Iphone 4s. When it restarted the phone the usb plug, arrow button pointing up and the Itunes app appeared on my screen. It seems my phone crapped out on me. Is there anyway to recover my information. I also plugged it into my laptop and opened itunes and it says phone needs to recovery but if I hit yes I will lose all my data. Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.

I attempted to do that and it was unable to find my iphone for some reason. I'm going to take it to the apple store tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Exclamation point and folder icon appears on iPod screen

I have a 20g Ipod and I am having lots of problems. Whenver I press a button it shows the apple logo followed by an exclamation point and folder icon. It ends with sounds of a clicking or HD whirring. Also, when I plug it into the computer, itunes prompts me with a message saying "Itunes has detected an Ipod in recovery mode. You must restore this Ipod before it can be used with Itunes". When I chose the option to restore it, it begins, but does not finish restoring it. It then gives me a message: "The Ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unkown error occured (1418)". I also tried to restore by doing the following, but this failed as well:
Go to folder “My Computer”
Hope you can see your iPod there and right click on the iPod
Choose “Format”. Ensure the settings are at “Default” and that “Quick Format” is not checked
Now select “Format”
Eject your iPod and do a Reset
Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
In case you do not manage to do a “Format” on a window computer, try to use some 3rd party disk utility software, e.g.“HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool”.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thank You

How do you remove deleted apps icons in App Store in purchased area?

How do you remove deleted apps icons in App Store in purchased area?

You can't permanently delete any items from your purchase history, but you should be able to hide them from the Purchased tab via your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If your iPad is on iOS 7 then after hiding them on your computer you may need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in for them to be hidden from the Purchased tab

Missing App icon from iphone screen

I am missing an app icon on my iphone screen. how can i get it back? it says that the app is already downloaded, but the icon is gone.

On your iPhone go to the search page (slide the home page to the right) and search for the app's name. Note that the name you're searching for should be the name under the icon - official app names are often a longer version. If the search finds it, it's somewhere on the hone, possibly inside a folder.
If the search does not find it, it's not marked for sync with this iPhone. Check the selection box in iTunes and re-sync. Note, however, that if the app is not compatible with your particular phone, it will not be synced.

How to update screen app icon (not App Store icons)?

I have recently built two apps with Indesign, DPS and Viewer Builder – one single-folio and one multi-folio.
In both cases I want to do an update on the iPad screen icon that I originally provided via Viewer Builder, and I wonder how straightforward this process is?
Can I do this without re-building the folios?
Is there any difference in the two cases?
The folios are working fine, so I don't want to do "too much" work. That is, to accidentally delete or ruin anything.
I had changed my icon designs when I added the apps in iTunes Connect, so the icons in App Store are correct.
I recognize that the correct icons display on the iPad screen while installing the apps, but they change to the old/wrong ones once the installation is finished.

1. Yes the app have to be re-submit to Apple, so "re-approved". Usually it take the same time or bit less, all is on Apple hand as usual
2. When the new version app will be approved and released in Apple Store, users will not receive a push notifications (this is only for the folio); USers will see when opening the Apple Store app, in the update section that your app have a new version they can update.
Or if you publish a new folio that have been created with a newest version of Folio Builder/Producer, they will get a push notification asking them to update their app in order to download the new folio

How do I move or delete App icons from my screen?

I'm tryng to eliminate most of the icons on my phone screen. On my 4, I used to be able to do it by holding my finger on the icon and either editing or just moving. But I can't move anything to page 2 of my screen and page 1 is full. HELP

Press on and hold any one app on the home screen(where it shows all your apps), they'll go into a "wiggle mode", you can then use the x's in the left top corner of the icons to uninstall the apps or drag them around to rearrange them. Also dragging an app icon on top of another one and holding it there for a second will create a "folder" or group, which will allow you to organize apps better. You can also put groups in the dock on the bottom.

Had the sudden appearence of a "books" folder that contains the Kindle app. How do I get rid of this folder and return to just the Kindle app icon on the screen?

I have an iTouch. I do not remember exactly what happened, but I now have a folder labeled "Books" that contains my Kindle app.
Previously, I simply had the Kindle app on the home screen.
How do I remove the Books folder and return to the previous setup, i.e. just the Kindle app on the home screen?

Is there another app in the folder like the iBooks app? Yu can move two apps together and when they combine and be placed in a folder. Itunes will guess/suggest a folder name and you can change it. If there are tow apps in the folder just go to that folder and touch and hold the an app and after they start wiggling mode one app out side the folder and folder will disappear if there were only two apps in the folder. To stop the wiggling depress the Home button once.

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

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.

Guided Access makes some app icons on Home screen dark

Hi,
I've found that when I've used Guided Access on my phone, almost always when I come out of it some of the apps on my home screen are darkened. The screenshot below shows an example (please excuse my ridiculously colourful wallpaper!) You can see some of the apps that are greyed out are iBooks, YouTube, App Store & all the ones in the bottom bar.
It seems very random which ones go dark. It's not that the app need an update or anything, and the apps still work. Sometimes if I open one of the darkened apps & use it a bit, the icon will go back to normal, but not always. Anyone have any idea why? I know it's not a problem that causes any practical issues, but it just looks wrong & is starting to niggle me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yep!
And that involves moving them manually, which is what I do.
The OP wants it automated, I don't know that I want the device doing that.
