How do I fix home screen not showing apps?

I recently got an iPhone 5c. I wanted to restore it with a backup. After that when I opened my phone all the apps disappeared and the home screen was blank. I scrolled through the pages but nothing was there! Help me!

Umm,
They were things that I have used during the time I have had the issue myself.
It seems to have improved things on some services (namely AIM) but have left the issue the same with my Bonjour connection to my Snow Leopard Mac.
On mine the File Transfer window reports it Failed  (See Window Menu).
On other accounts sometimes the Chat shows an icon and it will open in Preview rather than displaying In-line.
It is not something that I do that often and is not something I have spent a great amount of time on.
You could try this:-
In the Finder use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and type (or Copy from here) ~/Library/Preferences  into the dialogue box that appears.
Once in the Preferences folder find the com.apple.ichat.plist file
Depending on the service the picture is coming on you can delete (Drag to Trash) the Preferences (.plist file) for that service (com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist or com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist for instance).
There is a Yahoo one and a Subnet one for the Bonjour Account.
Restart the app each time.
If that does not work try deleting the com.apple.ichat.plist itself.
DO NOT delete them together as this will cause the app to have to be reset with the basic account info.
If it is the iMessages account that is effected try deleting com.apple.imessages.bag.plist as this one is the contact with the server as are the ones above.
Again restart the app.

  • Home Screen Not Showing Some Apps

    I reset my home screen to show all apps in alphabetical order. I when to the end and saw some apps were missing. I searched them in spotlight search and they showed up. I have 10 home screens and some 135 apps. Is this happening because I have too many apps? How do I fix this?

    Arrange the apps into appropriate folders so you can more easily find them. See:
    Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store
    It may be easier to arrange them in your iTunes library when the iPod is connected to the computer.

  • Why are my home screens not showing on Itunes

    I've upgraded both my Itunes and also my Iphone today.
    When I try to view my home screens in Itunes they are not showing.  Instead all I get is a blank screen where the home screen should be.
    I have tried resetting my computer to see if this sorted the problem but this has not cured anything.
    Suggestions??

    I have exactly the same problem.  I upgraded i tunes and i phone 4s (to IOS7) and now can no longer see my home screens.  I wish I had never upgraded to IOS7,  Hopefully Apple will fix this sooner than later

  • How do I fix images/photos not showing in messages (displays broken image icons)?

    This has been happening since the second version of the beta. Unfortunately, even updating to the latest version still hasn't solved the problem. This issue occurs with all contacts. Occasionally an image will come through, but most often they will not. (This happens for both users with iMessage and without.)

    from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

    don't worry, it's normal and it will fade away by itself. If not, take it to your apple store

  • How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB?

    How do I add actual email accounts to home screen-not just HUB? Can anyone give me the steps?

    Essentially the Hub area is a home screen dedicated to your communication. Tap on the lower left icon and each of your messaging sections has its own dedicated 'icon.' As JC mentioned, it is new and it may take a while to get used to it.. but once you do it really is a great way to deal with the unified messaging idea and it also allows you to break down what you are looking at very quickly. Just need to learn a few new tricks.  I've been on the Z for just over 3 months now and I could never go back...

  • How do I fix Creative Cloud to show ALL my apps that I have installed ?

    Here my specs : Windows 7 Pro 64 bit ● 10GB DDR3 RAM ● Intel Core i7 ● AMD Radeon HD 5700 Series
    Here my story :
    One day, little Creative Cloud said it had an update to be installed on itself. Possibly taking it from version 1.7 to 2.0 or something. I clicked on update. Creative Cloud started downloading and once it was done it said update complete. I clicked on finish or something. Once that happened, it disappeared completely. Gone from taskbar, Window closed and shortcut gone ! I looked into the Creative Cloud folder, in the Adobe folder and there were two folders : Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Cloud_2.7.0.413. I then went into the Adobe Creative Cloud folder and double opened the application therein. It opened the Creative Cloud desktop app BUT showed it had an update just as before for itself. I AGAIN clicked on update, and then it said "Error 50" , unable to update. I searched around and somewhere on the forums it said I must download adobe cloud and reinstall it. I did that and ever since that dreadful day, little Creative Cloud desktop app doesn't want to show ALL my installed apps anymore. It simply shows only 2 !
    This is what I have : Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash Professional, Media Encoder, Fireworks. What it only shows in Creative Cloud desktop app : Flash Professional, Dreamweaver.
    What I tried doing :
    1.) Re-installing the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app.
    2.) Changing the directory settings for APPS and pointing them to the actual location of the installed apps.
    3.) Deleting or renaming the "opm.db" file.
    4.) YES, I RESTARTED MY PC !!!
    What I want to do :
    1.) Receive a fix that will make ALL my installed apps show.
    2.) Find out what the hell the difference is between the concept of having TWO versions of the same program installed BUT getting updates for BOTH like "Adobe Photoshop CC" and "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014". I installed the Adobe Photoshop CC this year almost 2 months ago for example. Then CC told me there is an app update and that got me Adobe Photoshop CC 2014. Now I have two versions of the above listed programs... Why doesn't CC just UPDATE the Adobe Photoshop CC, rename and list ONLY Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 in the end ?
    What I do not want : RE-DOWNLOAD OR RE-INSTALL ALL MY INSTALLED APPS ! This not only will cost me a lot of internet bandwidth but also a considerable amount of time. There must be a simple fix as all files are in place ! I can launch all apps individually and they are working both the "" versions and the 2014 ones.
    My question : How do I fix Creative Cloud to show ALL my apps that I have installed ?

    Hi alextz11,
    The email in the forum does not reflect any Creative Cloud order. Please follow the steps in
    Locate the C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE directory and rename it to OOBE_OLD
    Download and reinstall the Creative Cloud Application from https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.
    You can also consult : http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html
    Hope it helps your issue.

  • HT3743 how do i fix the screen of death on my ipod.....please helpm asap..........my sister is going to kill me

    how do i fix the screen of death on my ipod

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app.  Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app.  From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.
