How do I reinstall a missing app icon

A couple of my app cons are missing from my apps folder as well as my dock, but the programs are still there. (I have to run them from spotlight.)
How do I reinstall a missing app icon?
Thanks!

If you've found them in Spotlight, where are they? (hover over the app you found in the Spotlight list to see its path in a tooltip, or click Show All, then hover over the name of the app and see the path at the bottom of the window).
Once you open that location in the Finder, you should be able to drag them back to the Applications folder.

    How can I reinstall the YouTube app?

    Thanks dave
      This is a mystery. Both YouTube apps have different icons so they're not duplicates.
    One is a picture of an old fashioned television and the other is the YouTube logo.
    The old fashioned TV was able to be disabled in the ipod settings so that must be the one that belongs.
    I'm pretty sure the other one also came with the unit.
    Maybe I should start a thread?

  • TS1702 How do I reinstall my Skype app?

    How do I reinstall my Skype app on my ipad2?

    If it's still on your iPad then you can delete it by pressing and holding any of the apps and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the Skype app and then press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of your downloaded apps then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'.
    You should then be able to re-download it.
    But if you want to reinstall it because you are having problems with it then you could instead try closing the Sype app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Skype app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Skype app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • How can I reinstall deleted free Apps which now show as installed but are not actually there?

    How can I reinstall free Apps that I have deleted (because ALL stopped working) which now show as installed but are not actually there?
    I loaded a bunch of free Apps (maybe too many?) right after I got my 4s yesterday, and at some point I noticed that none of the downloaded Apps would work. The screen would blink when I tapped the icons, but the Apps stopped opening. Resetting the phone didn't help, so I decided to delete all the Apps I had downloaded and start over.
    I can get the "Purchased" list to show up by pressing Updates button (is there another way?) but the show as "installed" in greyed-out letter, so I can't figure out how to get them back.

    Your iPad screens aren't completely filled up are they? If they are, you will only be able to find them using the search feature on the iPad.

  • Missing App icon from iphone screen

    I am missing an app icon on my iphone screen. how can i get it back? it says that the app is already downloaded, but the icon is gone.

    On your iPhone go to the search page (slide the home page to the right) and search for the app's name. Note that the name you're searching for should be the name under the icon - official app names are often a longer version. If the search finds it, it's somewhere on the hone, possibly inside a folder.
    If the search does not find it, it's not marked for sync with this iPhone. Check the selection box in iTunes and re-sync. Note, however, that if the app is not compatible with your particular phone, it will not be synced.

  • How do I move or delete App icons from my screen?

    I'm tryng to eliminate most of the icons on my phone screen.  On my 4, I used to be able to do it by holding my finger on the icon and either editing or just moving.  But I can't move anything to page 2 of my screen and page 1 is full.  HELP

    Press on and hold any one app on the home screen(where it shows all your apps), they'll go into a "wiggle mode", you can then use the x's in the left top corner of the icons to uninstall the apps or drag them around to rearrange them. Also dragging an app icon on top of another one and holding it there for a second will create a "folder" or group, which will allow you to organize apps better. You can also put groups in the dock on the bottom.

  • How can i change the Director App Icon for Windows?

    How can i change the icon for my App for Windows? Director can do this from the Publish Settings. The Custom icon for app doesn't work. I select a .ico file for windows and Director can't attach this to the app.
    There is anothe way to do that simple like in Mac with the Contest folder?
    Regards
    Gino Delgado

    You can also try my RiEditor here: http://www.director-online.com/dougwiki/index.php?title=Resource_and_Icon_Editor
    However, to answer your original question directly, I suspect there's something wrong with your .ico file as the feature in the publish settings works just fine, last I tried.
