How can I restore TextEdit.app?

I had to restored my whole iMac (OS 10.9.3, intel) from Time Machine backup. (Don't know what broke system. Virus scan says it is clean.) Now the TextEdit.app is broken. I tried to individually restore TextEdit from Time Machine but a dialog box says "'TextEdit.app' can't be modified or deleted because it's required by OS X." How can I restore TextEdit?
Interestingly, TextEdit worked fine just the day before but, according to Time Machine, it has been broken since January. So, I tried to restore it from the January backup. Same dialog box tells me it can't be modified because it is required by OS X.

You want to restore the app data, not the app itself. You still have the app, or at least that's the way that I interpret your post. Do you backup with iCloud or iTunes? If you do, you can try restoring the backup in order to recover the recipes, assuming that the recipes are in the backup.

How can I restore the app store icon ?

how can i restore the app store icon ?

Hey Dan97!
Uh-oh. Sounds like we need to get on the job and solve the case of the missing app store icon. With that said, I've got you covered.
Right off the bat, there are a couple of different ways we can do this. First, let's start things off simple. Go to settings > general > restrictions. If restrictions are enabled, toggle "Installing Apps" back on. Did the app store reappear? If not, no worries. Next, go to settings > general > reset > reset home screen layout. How did thing work out this time? Hopefully well. If neither of these steps worked, please let me know when the icon first disappeared and if it coincided with any changes. I look forward to it!

Re: How can I restore DELETED APPS :- icloud,facebook,twitter on my iPhone 4S?(THE APPS IN QUESTION CAME WITH MY iPhone I DID NOT PURCHASE THEM).These apps are dimmed and not responsive on my phone. I cannot back up to icloud.

Little fingers have deleted the above mentioned apps!
THE APPS IN QUESTION CAME WITH MY iPHONE.
I DID NOT PURCHASE THEM!
HOW CAN I RESTORE THEM, THEY ARE NOT LISTED IN THE APP STORE????

Hey Clyde71,
Thanks for the question. From your description, it sounds like various Account Settings have been greyed out in your Settings application (iCloud, Facebook, Twitter). The cause for these being greyed out is a restriction setup on your iPhone. You'll probably see that Restrictions are turned "On" in Settings > General.
You'll want to disable the restriction "Allow Changes: Accounts". For more information on restrictions, see this article:

How can I restore an app on my iphone which I deleted by accident?

I have already synced the phone and the app has gone so is it possible to reinstate an app once it has been deleted (by accident)?

Same answer as the last time you asked the exact same question:

HT201412 My music app on my iPad closes when I launch it. How can I restore the app?

I changed a setting "sort by artist" and now the app won't launch. How do I restore it?

Close the Music app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Music app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

HT204053 How can I restore my apps with iCloud

Can't figure out how to restore my son's apps that are backed up on my iCloud. Had to replace iPad to a new one, got update done to the ios 6.1.3 now ready to pull his stuff back on but can't seem to figure out the restore process from here.

How can I restore an app and its data from an old ipad to a new ipad without restoring from backup?

When I purachsed and iPad 2 to replace my old iPad I did not want to restore it from backup for obvious reasons. However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?

The reasons may be obvious to you, but it makes no sense to me. I would think that you would want all of the content that you had transfered onto your new iPad.
However, there are apps that have data stored in them that I have lost the data for, what can I do to get the app and data back on the new iPad without losing the data that was already in the app?
If you lost the data in the apps, you can't get it back unless you restore from a backup - assuming that the backup DID have that data in the apps..
The only way that you can get the apps PLUS the app data onto the new iPad is to restore the new iPad from a backup of the original iPad and sync the apps back onto the new iPad if necessary.

How can I restore the App Tabs I created for 10 different window sessions (ie 10 app tabs x 10 sessions)

When restarting FF only the last window of app tabs is opened. All others appear lost. Is there a way to save each window of app tabs to a desktop icon for eg. and use the name as the Icon label? Or in Bookmarks "Restore all windows with App Tabs"

Thanks for offering to help, kisuke3. Unfortunately, neither safe mode nor a new user account solves the problem.
I just received this information from the Chemical Abstracts Service that provides the web-based SciFinder chemical structure and literature search software. I'm not using OS X Lion, so I'm not sure if the comment about Safari 5.1 being "unable to run Java-based applications" applies under OS 10.6, but it might explain my problem? I plan to check the links below, and they might help others having difficulty under OS Lion.
"On July 20, 2011, Apple Inc. released new versions of their desktop
operating system, Mac OS X Lion (version 10.7), and their Internet
browser, Safari (version 5.1). Currently, Safari 5.1 is unable to run
Java-based applications like the SciFinder structure drawing editor.
This problem is not restricted to SciFinder.
Customers who have upgraded to Safari 5.1 and wish to draw and search
structures or reactions in SciFinder should either use Firefox or a
previous Safari version until this browser problem is addressed by
Apple.
Mac OS X Lion is the first Apple OS upgrade to ship without a built-in
Java runtime extension (JRE). SciFinder users who have upgraded to Mac
OS X Lion can download the latest Java JRE from the Apple website at

What do you mean by "is not working"? The more details you give, the better the answers you'll get.
Resetting your device by pressing and holding the power and Home buttons until the silver apple appears will not delete any data.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.
