IPod touch 4G deleted settings app and most of my music HELP please

I have an iPod touch 4G 64GB running on ios 5. Last night I slid the bar to unlock the screen and the slider stayed locked to the right and the iPod had locked up. I left it and went to bed. This morning it opened OK but my settings app has disappeared. I have looked for it in spotlight search and it doesn't come up and being on my device. Other weird things happened also. All my apps had been organised into folders and all my folders have gone and i now have 10 screens of apps. Also most of my music has gone from the music player. When I go to browse my music around 90% of it is showing grey in the song list and can't be played. Around 10% shows black and plays on the device. This iPod is around 1 year old (christmas present from a year ago) and has never been jailbroken. Can someone please help because i know that it is impossible to delete any of the default apps but the settings app has gone from the device entirely.

OK I have solved the problem I had so wanted to post it up here in case anyone else ever has the same problem. Actually I haven't solved the problem.....the problem was that my iPod removed all of my apps from their folders....the consequence was that i had more than 176 apps which is the most that will fit on the 11 pages apple allow us to have on the device.....so I started putting them back into folders....I would get them down to 3-4 pages then do a reset (holding home and off button etc)....then when the device restarted more apps appeared and my settings was one of them.....I figure that is why it wouldn't show up in spotlight search either....it wasn't that it was hidden rather there wasn't room for it on the device. Hope this helps others.......and APPLE.....please find out why my iPod removed all my apps frim their folders in the first place.

Try updating from here:

Having issues with low memory that is causing some of my apps to crash, need help please !!!

Having issues with low memory that is causing some of my apps to crash, need help please !!!

Is the device actually showing low memory errors?
What is really occurring?
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?

Can anyone help I have lost my SETTINGS app on the opening screen of my iPad and can't find out where to retrieve it. I have re set the factory settings but it did not re-appear. Without this app I can't change any settings. Thanks if anybody can help with idiot guide instructions I would be very grateful.

Hello
Lost mind last week. Remembered a post: impossable to delete this app and one should look in all the folders on the home pages.
Found it in a news folder. So have a look in all of your folders. Hope you haven't to many
Best of luck

Probably because the address you provided as a rescue email when setting up your account is not longer valid. Contact Support and ask for account security.

I have the 4S and downloaded a fax reader application that converts the TIFF file to JPEG, solution they recommend is to go to settings, app-general-location services but I don't see a way to do this on my phone, help!

If you are looking for this area, in the newer iOS, it is Settings>Privacy>Location Services. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here, so I cannot give you more information. Is it possible you are trying to give this program access to photos in your Camera Roll? Please provide a little more information.

The settings app is showing that there is an update but when i go to software update it says its full up to date. HELP?!

my settings app has got the red 1 to say that there is a notification/update, but when i go to update it it says that i am on 6.1.4 and i am full up to date, what else could this notification mean?

If the MBP is new why do you think it needs updating to 10.8.4? What version is currently installed?

Settings App needs Cellular Data??

Since the install of iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 I went in and verified which of my installed Apps get access to cellular data. In doing this I noticed that the Settings App is now listed. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why this particular app would need to access data, let alone data that I'm paying for so I shut is off. Now every time I access Settings I'm interrupted and have to acknowledge this choice. SUPER annoying.
Apple, Why does this App need my data access and why should it be turned on?

Is it just one app? Did you try deleting and reinstalling it? The app could be buggy and you should try to find an alternative.

I am trying to access my usage but iPad not responding. Send me back out to the settings app. Any suggestions? iPad

Tried reset home and on together with no luck, tried standard off no luck and new update double tap to close does not work for diddley.

OK. That's what I thought you meant, but the terminology was confusing to me. I get it now.
Did you try going to the Videos App, tap on Movies or TV shows - whichever one you want to delete, then tap the Edit button in the upper right corner. All of the videos will have an X in the upper left corner of their icons. Tap on that X to delete that movie or TV Show. Tap the Done button when you are finished.
However, you have a problem that you need to fix. Your Settings app is crashing (taking you back to the home screen when you try to use it) and that's not a good thing. You need to be able to use the settings app. Quitting the apps and rebooting didn't help?

Everytime I add a keyboard shortcut, the settings app crashes.

So I go to the keyboard shortcuts section on the settings app. Then I hit the "add shorcut" button and I enter the shortcut, etc. When I finish entering everything in, I touch "save", and as soon as I do that, the app crashes to the home screen. It does actually save the shortcut, but it is a huge pain to have to navigate my way back to the shortcuts feature each time, especially because I have a lot of shortcuts that I need to enter. I have an iPhone 5 and the latest iOS. Can anyone help with this?

I have a similar issue, when I go to open the shortcuts, the Settings App crashes so I can't even get in to add more.

HT1424 Hello after i configure my vpn. what app do i need to map the drive i need on our server.

after vpn setup what app do i need to find our server and or map the drive that i need
Thanks

Tools->Internet Options->Connections->LAN Settings and tick the box "do not use proxy for local/intranet addresses" When I click on the "Lan Setting"
I get three check boxes that are located in two areas called Automatic configuration and Proxy Server:
Automatic configuration
[] Automatically select setting
[] use automatic configuration script
Proxy server
[] use a proxy server for your lan these setting will not apply to dial-up or VPN connection
At present none of these are selected.
So thus there is none to say "do not use proxy for local.intranet addresses" please help.

Gatekeeper settings--app damaged

I made the mistake of listening to other Mac users when I wanted to get wifi who told me I didn't need to pay for an airport product. So I bought a Linksys router. After having a Panic yesterday I was advised to make sure my software & OS was up to date (there was a firmware update for my MacBookPro which I quickly & easily took care of) & also to update router firmware.
In the process of trying to do this, I discovered that the previous version of Cisco Connect software showed unsupported OS when I tried to open it. So needed to update. Finally found a link that was suposed to be for a Mountain Lion compatible update.
I downloaded it & then tried to open Set Up I would get a warning saying it was damaged but then help said modified or damaged.
But there was also a link there that I just clicked on Protect your Mac from malware & it talks about the Gatekeeper preferences.
For the setting Identified Developers which seems to be the default, part of it says:
OS X checks the app before it opens the first time to be certain it hasn’t been modified since the developer shipped it.
Just wondering how that applies to updates? I keep getting this same message, but I'm wondering, since it is an update of an earlier version whether maybe that is triggering the warning rather than something really being wrong w the software?
I have downloaded it 3x & I keep getting this same message so I don't know if the software is really faulty or if maybe Gatekeeper isn't recognizing it as an update or what.
The previous version that was installed, I suppose I could have updated to a compatible version if I had realized it needed to be done before upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Also while Mountain Lion found Parallels 5 as incompatible, it didn't identify Cisco Connect as incompatibile w Mountain Lion.
I think I'm going to give up on the Linksys router. Their website wasn't very helpful & it has taken hours of my time just trying to get this part of it done & then I was going to upgrade the firmware which it warned could permanently damage the router if the update was interrupted. So I was going to download it 1st & then install from download--after I found it since I have intermittent loss of connection all the time.
But w all this, wondering again about the Gatekeeper functions whether this software really was damaged or whether there was a malicious or dangerous or corrupted change or whether it just didn't comply w Gatekeeper requirements?
So how do you tell about this & what to do about it? I mean the original warning sounded like it was all about it being damaged, but then as I read further it coudl also be that it has been changed since it was signed or whatever.
Seems like this could use some tweaking since there is a difference between software being damaged maybe during a download that I suppose could happen even from a trusted vendor vs potentially malicious software.
The way it is now, its not very Mac like--I expect Mac software to not raise questions that the average mac user doesn't understand & this does seem to do that.

Go to the spotlight search and type in settings, then you'll need to click on that then go to general and then reset home scren layout, so it will come back to your home screen.
Or you can double check your apps folder and see if its in there.
