HT1212 I have a first generation Ipad. the App Store icon has disappeared from my homescreen. I have tried everything that is recommended and nothing works. One of the steps asks me to enter a passcode that I have never set up. ??? how to fix?

How do you retrieve the App Store Icon on a first generation ipad?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ? Is that the passcode that you are referring to, for the Restrictions screen ?
If it is and you don't know what it is then could anybody else have set it, and do you know if it was on the iPad when you last backed up ? If it wasn't then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up and you don't know what it is then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

HT2731 The iTunes App Store icon has disappeared. How do I get it back?

The icon for the iTunes Apps Store has disappeared from my iPad. How do I get it back?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't remove the App store app, you must hav moved it to a folder somewhere. Swipe the screen to the right until you get to the search screen then do a search for the app.

After creating an alias, the App Store application has disappeared from the Launchpad. Huh?!

So, I opened the Applications folder, then selected the App Store application and created an alias of it.
Now, when I activate the Launchpad the original app is nowhere to be found. The alias is there, but the application proper is not displayed.
It IS displayed (as well as the alias) in the Applications folder when I open that in the Finder.
I have no idea how to remedy this. Logging out and back in is fruitless. And a reboot makes no difference.
Any ideas, please? Any one? Bueller? ;-)

Yes. The alias works. And the App Store application (which is still in the Applications folder) also works.
Interestingly, I just tried a similar thing with the Adobe Reader app...created an alias of the application in the Applications folder. The same thing happened. The Adobe application disappeared from the Launchpad, replaced by the working alias. The fix for that was to delete the alias from the Applications folder. Then copy the Adobe app onto the desktop and finally copy it back into the Applications folder, answering "Replace" the original when prompted.
Of course, when attempting to copy the App Store app back into the Applications folder, the process cannot be completed because the OS says... “App Store” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X."

I have updated my iPhone 4S to 8.0.2 and my app store icon has disappeared. How do I restore it.

Updating ti IOS 8.0.2 has made my App Store icon disappear. How do I get it back please.

If you can't find it on your home screens then check to see whether you've hidden it via Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off'

The The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded What to do to get it back.

the The Economist icon has disappeared from my iPad. The App store tells that I am have already downloaded Will not download again. How do I get my icon back.

Well, App Store is system app. It might have been moved accidentally to a folder. You might be having an idea of Spotlight search when you swipe the home screen to the left most section, you can search "App Store" and you have the icon of the App Store.
You can try to reset home screen layout by going to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout
Keep in mind, this will reset all the app folders you've created in the home screen.
If it still doesn't appear, you might have accidentally turned the switch ON to disable App Store in restrictions.
Can be accessed by going to settings - general - restrictions - (Enter passcode if asked) - Turn on the Installing Apps and Deleting Apps switches to ON
Let me know if this helps you out

Hi, the App Store icon has been removed from my iPad even after synching and updating. Any suggestions on how to get it back to be able to update / purchase apps?

If you do not have, or remember, the passcode for Restrictions, the only option available to you is to reset the device to factory settings via itunes.

The airplay icon has disappeared from my desk top. It was there two weeks ago, so I can't watch movies I've downloaded from iTunes and flick them over to my TV.

The airplay icon has disappeared from my MAC desktop. It was there two weeks ago when I successfully used it to 'flick a movie i had purchased from iTunes over to my tv. Also, if I rent the movie through iTunes, why (because of the above issue) when I go to 'Purchased' it doesn't display as an option when actually using Apple TV, it doesn't display but when I go to rent it again a message comes up saying "you have already rented this movie, do you want to rent it again"? Frustrated!!

Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...
We now return you to our regularly scheduled programming.....
Oh John.... Oh Marsha.....

HT203167 My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install?

My App Store icon is missing from ipad and won't re-install? You can't delete it so where is it?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

The Calendar icon has disappeared from my dock and I can't find a way to restore it or to download the Calendar app. The iCal app is not in my applications folder. Help please.

Do you have Time Machine enabled. If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder. Then restore.

The Youtube app was removed by Apple in iOS6. You can use either the iPhone app from Youtube (free in the app store, but you've got to set it at 2x), or go to www.youtube.com in a Safari web browser. You can also add the web page to your Home Screen using the share feature. It will then operate just like an app.
