Help - deleted my phone icon when flipping thru screens

Stupid I know but I was attempting to delete an app that I no longer use and my finger hit my 'green phone' icon and I can't get it back. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen (deleting preinstalled icons on phone). Is there anyway to avoid restoring my phone to its original settings or is that what I have to do to be able to make a call....Thanks for the help.....

I was on the first home screen (my main screen) and I checked every app on all pages and it is no where to be found. I only have 1 folder and thats purely by accident (it's not there either). I think what happened was because of the way I was holding the phone and flipping thru; my phone app was directed to the left which is the search screen. I have no idea how to get it back on my main screen. I've looked on Apple's website and there's so much information that I am frustrated and overwhelmed.
Please please help me figure this out.

  • Never once has my phone updated without deleting everything. It says "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. I can't call for help because my phone is frozen on the screen with iTune

    Never once has my phone updated without deleting everything. It says "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes. I can't call for help because my phone is frozen on the screen with iTunes. On line live chat won't chat until I give them my serial number which I can't get to because its frozen and can't call for the same reason!!  Omg!  Someone please help me!?

    Morning AppleHlumamkhululi,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    In most cases, the connected iPod needs to be restored.

    Does your question involve iPhoto in some way?

  • HT204266 I accidently removed the phone icon on my home screen of my Iphone. How do I place it back on there?

    How can i put the phone Icon back onto my home screen of my iphone?

    You obviously moved it to another screen. It is a native iOS icon and cannot be deleted. Check the other screens you have, as well as folders. You can also do a search and find it as well. If it is a folder, it will show up like the red circled one on this graphic.
    If you cannot locate it, then go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Home Screen Layout and that will bring it back.

  • Why did the phone icon on my home screen become useless after the KitKat update?

    I received the KitKat update on my DROID Razr Maxx HD 2 days ago.  Now when I click on my phone icon from my home page, the message "App not installed" displays.  Now, in order to make a phone call, I have to open all my apps and scroll to "phone icon".  How do I reinstall an app that is obviously still there.  Apparently the update disconnected the link to the app?

    Can't tell you why, but you should be able to fix by simply replacing the shortcut.
    1) remove the current shortcut on the home screen by holding the shortcut and dragging it to the "X remove" option
    2) go into your app list and find the phone link there, hold it and drag it back to your home screen

  • Iphone deleted all phone numbers when synced with Exchange, Please Help!!

    We recently received new Iphones for the Administrative staff and thought that like other Smartphones we've used in the past that syncing with Exchange would be a breeze. After doing a bit of research everything pointed towards it being a very simple process, this is the process I followed:
    Open up Itunes with Iphone connected
    Click your iPhone in the "Devices" section on the left
    Click the "Info" tab
    In the Contacts section, check "Sync contacts with" and select "Outlook"
    Click "All Contacts"
    Click the "Sync" button in iTunes lower-right corner
    Click "Merge", so that your contacts on your iPhone are preserved
    This seemed to work but there is one major problem, all of the contacts on the Iphone and the ones imported into Outlook no longer have any phone numbers associated to them. The contacts were all synced into Outlook/Exchange no problem with their respective emails but with no phone numbers at all. Unfortunately the computer which had the backup of this Iphone was recently decommissioned so I have no backup of the phone in its previous state.
    Is there any way to recover the old phone numbers/contacts on the phone without having a backup of it in its previous state? I have tried the "Import Sim Contacts" button in the settings on the phone but it doesn't seem to actually do anything. There are over 100 contacts on this particular phone, some of which the phone numbers will be very difficult to retrieve again.
    I have to say that I'm not very impressed that the most popular smartphone out there can't even sync with the largest email platform in the enterprise world properly. If anybody can help me retrieve those numbers some how I would be extremely appreciative.

    This is the first I have heard of it... but I'm only one person.

    Does the Iphone actually support 2-way sync with Outlook properly or will it erase all of the numbers on the phone every time?
    If you are syncing directly with Outlook, there are options in iTunes to determine which set of contacts takes priority when duplicates are found.  Personally I do not use this.  I have my device set up to sync directly with the exchange server so all changes are made directly on the server.
    Personally I would recommend against using Outlook as the intermediary.  You will get much more consistent and reliable results if the iPhone syncs directly with the exchange server and no worries if the end user has not synced the device in days/weeks/months.

  • How do I get the Icon for my phone back?  My daughter deleted the phone icon on my Iphone and I can't get it back

    I can't make phone calls

    Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted.  Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
    If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Help-lost all my icons at bottom of screen

    I hit something and I lost all my icons. I don't know if that is what they are called really. The little pictures at the bottom of your comp. when you turn it on. They help you get to itunes, iphoto, firefox, ect,. Does anyone have any idea how I get them back? I was trying to force quit when I lost them, if that helps. Thanks.

    Open the Dock pane of System Preferences and turn off the option to show or hide the Dock automatically; one of the other settings affects where the Dock appears, which should be set to the bottom. If the issue cannot be fixed from System Preferences, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, enter /System/Library/CoreServices/ as the folder's location, and double-click the item named Dock there.

  • Please help me my phone will not do anything screen just blank was working 15min previous??

    Please help me!!!!! My phone was working went to it 15min later and screen blank wont do anything tried turning it on, battery was not flat????

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 20 seconds (maybe longer) until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

  • IBook help, 10.2.8, icons showing up on screen.

    My son has encountered a problem that started today. Every time he pushes the Command, Alt, Ctrl or Shift button, a white icon (about 1.5 inches squared) representing the key he just pushed shows up on the screen. It doesn't go away until the same key is pushed two more times.
    Anyone know what this is and how to get rid of it?

    OS X.2.8
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Steve!
    I noticed that the iBook's Hard Drive is dangerously low on space.
    18.62 GB Total Space
    1.47 GB Free
    Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
    Depending on Mac system usage habits, it is a general recommendation, to keep 10% to as much as 20%, of the Total capacity, available at all times.
    Review the suggestions, in the documents that I have linked to below.

    Is the iBook shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
    If you turn the Mac off nightly, the Background Maintenance Tasks, are not run in a timely manner.
    These can also be run, using a Third-Party utility, or manually using Terminal, to run the CRON Commands.
    I use MacJanitor, when necessary.
    INSTRUCTIONS TO RUN CRON MANUAL COMMANDS
    Quit all applications/programs.
    Navigate to HD > Applications > Utilities.
    Double click on Terminal, to open.
    At the prompt, type:
    sudo periodic daily
    Press Return.
    Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
    This will execute the daily script that is sheduled to run every night.
    When completed, repeat this procedure, but change the command to:
    sudo periodic weekly
    This one rebuilds a database or two, and usually takes somewhat longer to complete. It is scheduled to run once a week.
    Repeat again, with command:
    sudo periodic monthly
    Or they can all be run in one pass, which is preferable, with this command:
    sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
    When the tasks complete, and return to the prompt, you may quit Terminal.
    Restart the Mac, and run Repair Permissions.
    TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
    1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
    2.Click First Aid.
    3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
    Rerun RP, until the only messages reported, are listed here Spurious Permissions Errors Using: 10.2.x, authored by Michael Conniff.
    When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

  • Contact icon and Phone icon contacts not syncing

    I am having an issue where my contacts from the contact icon is not appearing on the phone icon when I try to make a call. So when I try to look up a contact from the phone icon, it's not showing up. Only select contacts without a picture is showing. It's very arbitrary, but I am not sure why it does this. Anyone know what I should do or any settings I need to perform??
