How to find what app has been deleted

I frequently get my phone out of my pocket and see a blank space on the screen where an app used to be. I guess just the movement somehow double taps the home button, chooses and app and then says yes to delete it. As I have a password protected phone I'm not sure how this happens, but it drives me crazy. I can't find anyway to see which app is gone, there is no way to look at history or undo deletes that I can tell.
So am I missing something, is there a way to resolve this and actually see what has been deleted. I think this is such a stupid design. I can just imagine how people with younger kids must forever be getting apps deleted and then no way to find it until you are searching for it and remember exactly what it is called.

I suspect that something else may be wrong (only because it seems unlikely that all of the steps you mention would inadvertently happen once much less multiple times). Note that I don't doubt what you are seeing in terms of an app suddenly being gone.
One thing that my help see what app is missing is to open the App Store app then tap Updates at lower right then tap Purchased at the top and look for apps that have an icon of a cloud with a down arrow to the right of their name instead of the word "Open." That may be a useful suggestion or may not be very useful depending on how many apps and devices you have since it is going to show you all Purchased apps that are not on your phone.

  • How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

    How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

    Check to see if there's such a folder as  either
    /Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
    ~/Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
    and if so, see if either contains an uninstaller.
    Failing that, download the demo version of the app from Trend Micro, and try the uninstaller that it should contain.
    If all else fails, the manual way would be to use something like EasyFind and search for anything with "com.trendmicro" in the filename (you can use Finder, but be sure to include system files and invisible files in the search options). Pay particular attention to the folders
    /Library/LaunchAgents
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    ~/Library/Preferences

  • How do you find out how many times an app has been downloade

    Wondering where I can find out how many times an app from the app store has been downloaded?

    Are you asking if you can find out how many times an app has been downloaded from the app store? Or you asking if you can find how many times you have downloaded the app? If the former, you could try asking the developer. If the latter, none that I know of.

  • My Pre-installed music app has been deleted from my phone, how do I get it back?  It is not in my purchased apps.

    Help, my pre-installed music app has been deleted from my home page.  It is still in the settings but no app to play music from.  I love my music!

    Locate it- Scroll through the home screens !
    Hold your finger on it till the icons start jiggling now move it to the left of the screen and hold it there.
    In the back ground the homescreens scroll back towards your first screen.
    When you reach the first home screen position icon where you want (If you have sixteen -the last one will move to the second home screen)
    Whilst they are jiggling choose which ones you want on the first home screen.
    You can also add access to more by creating folders containing similar types of apps by dropping one app icon on another icon as well.
    When finished organizing press the home button to fix the setting.
    Similarly you can add or remove app icon short cuts from the dock to suit your preference.
    When you move them off the dock they are added to your home screens. (think of the home screens as an analogous to the desktop of your PC

  • Counting how many times my app has been opened

    I want to be able to count how many times a user has opened my application, and so every time the application launches, this number is added by one.
    Does anyone know how I store a long-time variable like this that will still need to be available across different runs of the application? I imagine this value would be stored in the application's preference file in Library, but I don't know how to do this.
    Can any of you please lend me some advice/code to achieve this (I am using Objective-C)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ricky.

    Hi.
    It has been a while - but I finally got around to slapping some code together. I have successfully created and retrieved the value from the preference file, but for some reason, adding 1 to my value each run is not working. It only adds by one after each BUILD. So I have to rebuild it every time I want it to increment. See my code below;
    [NSUserDefaults init];
    int numberOfTimes;
    numberOfTimes = [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"used"];
    numberOfTimes = numberOfTimes++; //It is that that is not working.
    [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setInteger:numberOfTimes forKey:@"used"];
    NSLog (@"%d", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:@"used"]);
    I can't seem to stop anything wrong, but then again it is late.
    Do any of you see any errors here?
    Thanks,
    Ricky.

  • Mail.APP has been deleted and don't know how to get it back ?

    Please forgive my stupidity, But I have deleted my Mail app I don't know how but all that appears now
    in it's place on the dock is a black piece of paper with a ruler and stuff.
    Could somebody please help me out and tell how to get it back

    Insert the OSX installation Disk, and instead of proceeding to install, choose the Optional Installs -- Mail is one that can separately installed this way.
    If the Install Disk has an earlier version of OSX than you have currently arrived at by updates, then you will have to download the Combo Update for 10.5.7, and install that over the existing OSX after having installed the Mail app. This is combo is 729 MB, and is not the standalone delta update, btw.

  • One of iPad my apps has been deleted. How do I reinstall it?

    One of my iPad apps was deleted. How do I reinstall it?

    If itunes does not want to redown load it, itmthinks it is not really deleted.  Swipe to the searchlight page and search for the name of the app. If it is there it will find it.  It may have jumped to a different page, or gotten buried inside a folder.

  • Message app has been deleted. How do you reinstall?

    My child deleted a few apps including messaging.  How do you get them back?

    Try a reset,
    Reset your iPad by pressing the 'Sleep' and 'Home' button at the same time for about 15 seconds or so. Your iPad  will then go through a reset / reboot procedure and will be ready for use within about a minute.
    Don't worry about doing this as you will not lose data or settings.
    Good luck and do report back.

  • My app has been deleted and it wants me to buy it again, what can i do?

    I bought Fifa 12 for my Iphone probably 5 days after the app was released. I enjoyed playing the game and had gone quite far on it. When the recent update was released i had trouble downloading it and eventually tried to download it on my computer because it was too big to download through my network. When i went to try and sync the app onto my phone i noticed that it had gone and wasn't on my list of apps or on my phone. I tried to re-install the app but when i went onto it , it is asking for £3.99 to buy the app but I have already paid for it?
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    You should be able to re-download it for free, as long as it's the same app and you are using the same iTunes account as you originally used - does it show in the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app on your phone or in the Puchased link on the right-hand side of the iTunes home page on your computer's iTunes ?

  • How to check what software has been installed

    In System Preferences the Software Update no longer has an "Installed Updates" option.  How do you check for these updates?
    Thanks
    Ron

    In the System Information application (Utilities folder) you can see a complete list of installations in the Software/Installations category.

  • My utilities folder has been deleted.

    Well don't ask me how but my utilities folder has been deleted. I don't have disk utility or any of that anymore. How can i fix this?

    Download the shareware utility Pacifist 2.0 from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the entire Utilities folder from the file archive on your Intel Tiger Installer DVD. The archives may not be "visible" so you will need a utility such as TinkerTool to turn on the Finder's option to display invisible files and folders.
    If you haven't emptied the Trash, then it's possible the folder may still be in the Trash. Open the Trash and check. If it's there just drag it out to its proper location in the Applications folder.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

    My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.
