Films i have purchased have disappeared from my ipad!

Hi i have bought 4 films with my ipad and viewed them. They used to be in my videos folder and also appeared in purchased items in the itunes app. However they seem to have disappeared from my ipad they are not in the videos folder (its just a black page) and they are not in the purchased items in the itunes store. However in general information it says that my ipad contains 4 films... I just cant see them. Does anyone seem to know what happened there? Thanks, stephanie

Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Changed my Apple ID and my iMessages have disappeared from my iPad. How do I get the same messages back again?

I have recently changed my Apple ID (wish I didn't as it's causing nothing else but issues so far) and my iMessages have disappeared from my iPad. I have signed out / signed in with the new account but it doesn't work. How do I get to see the same messages on my iPad again as the ones on my iPhone?

Hello, see if this might be it...
I think you accidentally hit CMD+Option+8, do it again, or open System Preferencess>Universal Access>Seeing & turn Zoom OFF.

Since iso8.2 update camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my iPad

Since the ISO8.2 update the camera roll and photo stream have disappeared from my photos app on my iPad 2 anyone else suffered the same problem and how do I get them back?

Hey carolfromdaventry,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides some great information any questions you might have about Photos after updating to iOS 8:

Where can I find the Camera Roll?
The Photos app in iOS 8 doesn't separate photos and videos based on how they were added to your device. Instead of a Camera Roll, your photos and videos (even ones that you didn't take with or save to your device) are organized by date in Photos.
Where can I find the My Photo Stream album?
In iOS 8, there's no longer a separate My Photo Stream album. Instead, photos that were in the My Photo Stream album are now in the Recently Added album.
Thanks,
Matt M.

HT4859 The photos have disappeared from my iPad

Any ideas where all my photos have gone, the ones I transferred from my pc and the ones I have taken on the iPad?

This is not syncing. Photos/videos in the iPad's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Choosing an empty folder for importing photos from the Camera Roll has no effect on this.
What did you use on your computer for the import? Most importing software includes an option to delete photos from the source after the import process is complete.
If you want photos in the Camera Roll included with your iCloud's Photo Stream which is temporary storage, you need to turn Photo Stream on with your iCloud account settings on your iPad.

Some of my photos have disappeared from my iPad and iphone

I Have lost a large number of photos from my collections/albums. Random dates. How can I retrieve these. Everything is backed up to the cloud.

Howdy Jan,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like some photos are missing from your iPhone and you want to know how to go about recovering them from an iCloud backup. Take a look at the articles linked below, the first will walk you through the restore process and the second provides information that’ll assist you in recovering photos after restoring from an iCloud backup.
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
Get help finding missing information in iCloud after restoring an iOS device - Apple Support
Your photos
In iOS 8 with iCloud Photo Library beta turned on, your photos and videos are stored in iCloud. They aren’t included in your iCloud backup. When you restore from iCloud Photo Library, your device downloads thumbnails of your photos and videos, and any original photos stored on your device.
If you’re using iOS 8 and haven’t turned on iCloud Photo Library, or if you’re using iOS 7, iCloud backup includes photos and videos in your Photo Library or Camera Roll. They’ll download to your iOS device when you restore.
Photos in My Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they aren’t part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos that you uploaded to My Photo Stream for 30 days. To keep these photos on your device and make them part of your backups, save these photos to your Photo Library, Camera Roll, or another album.
To view a My Photo Stream album, make sure My Photo Stream is turned on in Settings (If you use iCloud Photo Library, the My Photo Stream folder is removed).
To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Photo Library (or Camera Roll) photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
Ciao,
-Jason

My safari and Mail have disappeared from my iPad

They disappeared suddenly and haven't been able to get back. I have tried changing the restrictions but this didn't work as they are already enabled and I have reset the home page and the iPad. Can anyone help me?

A Reset is done by holding down the on/off button and the home button for ten seconds. As I recall, you wait for the screen to go blank (ignore the instruction that appears on the screen).
A Restore is done from your Mac while the iPad is connected. Connect the iPad and browse around iTunes.

Some of my icons have disappeared from my desktop

Quite a few of my app icons have disappeared from my iPad screen. I can still go into the app thru notifications or thru the purchased section of the App Store. Does anyone know how to get them back??? Thank you so very much!!!! Carolyn

If you can still access these apps from the purchased tab of the App Store or via a spotlight search, they cannot be restricted. Restrictions will hide apps and make them totally unusable - hence the restrictions name.
Have you tried resetting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
Or, you can also try resetting the home screen layout and the home screen icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

Hello,
The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences, but not Bookmarks and history''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

Unchecked Purchases have disappeared from list

I noticed this a few months ago. If I go under my purchases in iTunes 10.4.1 (10) and uncheck a bunch of songs, if I sync my iPhone and then go back to my "Purchased List", the previously unchecked songs have disappeared from the list.
Is this supposed to happen? is there a way to stop it from happening?

well, now it's iTunes 10.5, but it's still the same problem.
Anyone else notice this? Or am I a special case?

Hello surig84,
Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when syncing your iPad. I recommend reviewing the following article specifically the section titled "Authorize using the correct account name."

Itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

itunes has sent a lot of my music into iCloud. I have not asked for this. I can't log on to icloud, since I only have an ipod. How do I get my music back? It seems to have disappeared from my computer.

I have read the the advice you gave, and I had already tried that. It did not help.
When I tried to download an album with nine songs, (I have paid for the complete album), two songs were missing. One of them has showed up/disappeared a couple of times, but with a cloud/arrow-symbol next to it, what I thought to be a symbol for downloading from the cloud. When I click it, it starts a downloading process, and then I am told it cannot be done, "please try again later". The other song is nowhere to be seen. The song with the cloud/arrow-symbol, I bought 3 times, once with the album, twice just the song. That didn't change matters. iTunes tells me I have downoladed all songs I have purchased.
I do not really understand why you do not understand what I am writing, I only describe what happens when I use iTunes.
If a person want to use iCloud, one needs an iPhone, iPad or an iPod Touch. That information is not given until you have downloaded and installed the iCloud program. That is why I have it on my computer, but cannot use it. To set up an iClod account, you have to connect one of the above mentioned devices. I don't have one, so I cannot do it.
If you want the (13013) problem explained, I suggest you google it. I am not the only one to have that problem.
I am thankful that you spend time on trying to help me, but I cannot explain things clearer than this.

HT201272 My tones have disappeared from my library, phone, and computer.

My tones have disappeared from my library, phone, and computer.
They aren't listed in my purchase history since they aren't songs, videos, or apps.
I don't know how to restore them.

Ringtones are currently a one-time only download from the store. If they aren't on your phone or in the Tones section of your computer's iTunes library, then are they on your backup of your downloads ? If not, and if they are still in the store, then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HT1267 How can I recover apps that have disappeared from my phone?

Apps I've purchased have disappeared from my iPhone. I've gone to app store, tried to reinstall and get messaged "purchased", but the app doesn't show up on the phone.

Settings > General > Reset. Once there, select the "Reset Home Screen Layout" button. A dialog will pop-up asking for a confirmation.

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next, restore from backup.
