Home screen icons are missing

I have a Curve 8310 running v4.5 OS.
I was hiding\rearranging some of the icons\folders on the home screen, and suddenly all the icons were missing. Pressing the <menu> button does absolutely nothing from the home screen. I have tried pulling the battery - no luck.
I can use <alt> <esc> to get to some applications, but not to Options or Setup.
Any idea how to get the icons back or reset the home screen to default?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try getting to your options by setting your Call Log (press the green dial key) > Menu > Options > General Options > Dial from Homescreen = OFF.
Now, on the homescreen, press the O (oh key, not the zero) for Options.
Go to themes and change themes.
Do you see your apps and icons now?

HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
2. Click "Download in the app store"
3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

Some of my purchased apps icons are missing. how do i get them back on my ipad?

On my ipad, some of my purchased apps icons are missing. The app store indicates that the apps were purchased so i cannot install them again. How do I get the icons back?

- Are the apps missing or are the icons white?
- If missing have yu tried using the Spotlight search and trying to find them?
- Have you tried downloading them on your iPad and then syncing?
- Have you tried deleting them on the computer and then syncing? That might also delete them from the iPad so you can redownal them
- Have you tried reetting the iPad?
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

My home screen icon get misligned when I switch between apps. also subway surfer behave strangley as in there is a graphical glitch

I have no idea what Subway Surfer should look like so I wouldn't know if there was a graphical glitch in your screenshot or not, but I assume that the brown figure on the left side should, have real definition in the features and details in the clothing rather than just look like a smeary brown blob. That's just a guess on my part.
I understand that you paid good money for the device and that it should not be doing what you are experiencing. I would start with the basic troubleshooting steps - moving all the way up to a complete restore of the iOS - and if they don't work, then you will have to contact Apple if you want resolution to the problem. They must have an authorized repair facility that you could send the device to if needed.
Restart, reset, restore.

Arranging Home Screen icons with ios7

Is their any way to manually arrange Home Screen icons with the new ios7? Since updating, new app icons are sent to a sencond scree. I prefer to have them in alphabetical order, but can't seem to do it now. Any thoughts and/or suggestions?

Tap and hold down on any icon, until they start to shake, then just drag them around.
It works the same way it did on iOS 5 and 6.
To move them to another screen drag them to the side of the screen, and hold them there until the screen changes, you can then drag it around that screen.

IPhone Home screen icons

When I create a home screen icon most of them place a custom icon on the home screen, usually with the websites logo. But a few of them just place an icon with a shot of the whole page.
Is there a way to request or create a custom home icon from a site?
In particular I'm looking for one for the Royal bank of Canada website at either:
www.royalbank.com
or
www.rbc.com

The website your are visiting must have a webclip icon stored on their server... You can try contacting them to see if they will add one... Here is what they need to do:
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.

HOME screen icon problems

On a web page everytime i click the + button to add it to home screen, it works but now all my icons for each one i bookmark are the same. They used to be snapshots of the webpage mostly or an official icon like google etc. Now its a set of weights for the icon which is annoying as now i ave about 7 with the same icon.
Any help would be appreciated

Here is the problem. If the web site does not have a custom made icon in the 'root' directory of their web server, the icon will look like the web page you are bookmarking.
If you want to add an iPhone/iPod touch Home screen icon for your website, create a 57x57 pixel .png image file, name it "apple-touch-icon.png" and upload it to the 'root' directory of your server.
Here is one I created for Macsimum News.
Here is what it looks like on the screen. The iPhone/iPod touch automatically scales the round corners on the image.
Have an iPhone or iPod touch? Enter Mac611.com in Safari on it for 'mobile Mac support.'

All my icons are missing from the Menu bar.. help!

Hi everyone,
Today I noticed that all my icons are missing from the right hand side of my screen. There is no Wifi, Bluetooth, clock, or Spotlight! How does this happen?!?
Does anyone have any solutions?
Thanks, Timmay

Hi
One reason for this behaviour is installing a Front Row hack that lets you run Front Row on an unsupported Mac. If this applies to you see Dr. Smoke's Uninstalling the Front Row hack FAQ.

TS2812 My app icons are missing after updating my iPhone 4S to ios7. How do I get them back ?

My free and purchased App icons are missing from screen on iPhone 4S after update to ios7. How can I get them back ?

Check other screens. Mine seemed to scatter to different screens after upgrading.

Updated to IOS 5 and app icons are missing

I upgraded last night and now some of my app icons are missing. If I do a spotlight search and find the app I can then launch the app from there but I would like to have the icon back to use rather than a workaround.

After the IOIS 5.0 update my apps weren't showing on my device until I tabbed thru several screens on the phone. The only other issue was when I did a "restore" to new , not from backup because I was issues with the update (Bugs) Did a update and my apps didn't show until I did a " File" ................Transfer Purchases from Iphone.....with the device connected to ITunes...........then Sync................ Another possibility could be in the following link:

Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

My icons are missing from finder and Safari.

Not sure what I have done. My icons are missing from finder and Safari, tired the customise tool bar option with no joy, please help.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Quick Question about home screen icons?

I just upgraded from the 3g to the iphone 4 and was wondering if there are supposed to be home screen icons for Voice Control and FaceTime?

There are no icons. In Settings > Phone you can activate or deactivate FaceTime: Turn FaceTime on or off.
To activate Voice Control, press and hold the home button.
The iPhone iOS4 User Guide can help a lot.

Editing title bookmark on home screen icon

I added a few home screen icons that are bookmarks for Safari. I realized after seeing them on the home screen that the titles are too long and a truncated. How do I edit the titles after creating them

That is a very temporary patch to solve this surprising (and stupid) problem. The real issue is: how come bookmarks (favorites) are truncated at only 40 characters, once synchronized on my PC !? It must be iCloud that imposes that limitation.
Even worse : hundreds of Windows Explorer favorites I had saved, years before I installed iCloud, have also been truncated!! I will have to ask my technician to reload my favorites from our company backup, and then clean up iCloud's mess manually, one favorite at a time.
But, first things first : uninstall iCloud !! (unless someone knows a better solution...)
