How to retrieve an app that disappeared from my iPad desktop?

I installed the iSwifter app on my iPad and now it has disappeared from my desktop. I have looked in all my folders, but it's gone. I tried to re-install it, but it says that it is already installed. I tried to get help from apple support and they do not know how to fix this. They suggest I go to a support forum to see if I can get some answers. Please help.

Ok, I almost hate to admit this, but I was told by a customer support person for the app designer to delete the app from my computer so then I could reinstall the app again. I didn't realize that I could have transferred the app back to my iPad...but I also saw a message after I deleted it that said when you do delete something from the iTunes library that it wasn't really deleted.  if only there was a trash bin that you could get into and restore any deletes. That would be to easy. This is my first iPad and I'm learning as I go here. I am learning by trail and error. Wish I wasn't so technically challenged. Thanks for your suggestions as that really would have worked.
I also tried rebooting it but that did not retrieve it either. My son suggested that too.

  • Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my ipad to appear on my TV using Apple Tv

    Can someone tell me how to get my apps that are on my IPad to be viewed on my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Coachcad.
    Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), swipe from the bottom of the screen, tap the AirPlay icon and choose your Apple TV from the list of devices (iOS 7 or better) or double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices (pre-iOS7)

  • How can I stop my emails disappearing from iphone/ipad once I open them on laptop? This is only happening on my 'other' email address which is through Crazydomains?

    I can receive emails to my account (Ive managed to work out how to set them up) but once I then open the email on my laptop through outlook they disappear from my ipad and iphone.  Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

  • HT4946 How do I transfer apps and photos from my ipad to my iPhone?

    I just bought a new iPhone5 after my other putting my other phone the the washing machine!  How do I get my apps and pictures from my ipad to my iphone.  I was not able to save anything from my other ohone.

    Using the same apple ID with both devices opens them up to share apps and data. There are some limits, for example some iPad apps are iPad only, they literally won't work on the iPhone due to the phone's limited resolution.

  • Please help.  I do not know how to delete the app draw something from my iPad 2. Can you help?

    I know this may be a silly question... Please don't judge... Could someone please explain to my how to go about deleting an app. Draw something.  From my ipad2?  It is completely frozen and won't open after updating it.  Many thanks for any help.

    To delete an App, hold your finger on the app until all Apps start jiggle.  An X will appear in the upper left corner of the App.  Touch the X and the App will be deleted from your iPad.  You can redownload the App anytime in the future as once you've bought an App, it's yours as long as you are using the same Apple ID.

  • How do i get apps i purchased from my iPad to my new mac mini

    i have been using my iPad and iPhone for a little over a year and have many many apps on both that I can easily update from device to device...I recently added the Mac Mini desk top to my work and want to sync some of the apps plus the info they contain on my desk top but can not figure out how to please help

    You can't. iOS apps don't run on a Mac. Some, such as iWork apps, have Mac equivalents with which they can share data.

  • My iTunes APP has disappeared from my iPad Mini (Windows). Not sure what I did wrong. Am very senior citizen

    How do I get my iTunes back?  I am new to iPad and hit something wrong.

    The default apps cannot be removed.
    Check all homescreens and folders to ensure it has not been moved.
    Check Settings > General > Restrictions to ensure that the iTunes store has not been restricted.
    If neither of those resolves, select Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • SETTINGS app has disappeared from new iPad

    My son gave me his old iPad and in trying to move my  apps from my v.5.1.1. to the new iPad (v. 8?) All the apps he had put on it including SETTINGS disappeared!!
    I am lost!
    I think if I could figure out a way to add the second iPad to " devices" in iTunes, I could maybe restore SETTINGS from there??
    any ideas PLEASE.
    Thanks
    Glen

    It's not possible to delete it. Try resetting the home page layout. It has to have been moved to another page or a folder... oh, wait. you can't reset the home page layout without getting to it.
    Go to the search page (press the home button once when on the first screen or swipe right from the home screen and type settings. Provided you have not turned off application search results in spotlight settings, you should be able to get to it from there.

  • My podcast app has disappeared from my ipad.

    I can't find the Apple podcast app on my ipad (about a month old) any longer--not the icon for the app nor in the settings menu. When I try to download it from the store, it is apparently already on the ipad (I just get an open link). When I select the link to open, nothing launches. I can't seem to download podcasts from the itunes store either. Can anyone explain what's up? Thanks.

    Nevermind. apparently my son has been messing with my restrictions.
