HT201272 Restoring deleted app. Not working. is it hidden?

I deleted my Pinterest app but want to restore it. In he App Store list it shows up under "purchased", not "not on this iPad" as I would expect.  The only option it gives is "open", as if it were still on the iPad. When I try to "open" it does nothing. The app is not visible on any of my pages. Can it be hidden? I did delete it so I wouldn't see how, but I would like to get it back.

If it shows as 'open' in the Purchased tab in the App Store app then that usually means that the app is still on your iPad - you can hide apps from the homescreen via an app age rating in Settings > General > Restrictions, but if I'm looking at the correct app then it's only rated 4+
Can you find it via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right) ? If not the try a soft-reset to see if you can find it, or reinstall 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.
If you can find it via the spotlight homescreen then see if it appears on the iPad's taskbar, and if it does then try closing it on there and then see if it works via the spotlight or Purchased screens : 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 that app app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • HT201272 Restore Purchases does not work.

    I have TomTom installed on my iPhone. I purchased TomTom HD Traffic to go with the App on 1/04/2011 and the add on Traffic worked fine. I did however allow the subscription to lapse. When I next needed the App, I opened the App and made a purchase of the HD Traffic "In App". However the purchase did not show up and when I attempted to view the Traffic option within the App, The App just tried to make me purchase the add on again. When I tried to "Restore Purchases" this failed. Firstly the App informed me that the App was registered to a different device and did I want to transfer it. That was a lie as the App had not been registered anywhere else than the account I was using and on my iPhone 4S. The system then requested that I log onto the TomTom store, and then I saw displayed the message "Unable to Connect. Please try later"
    I contacted TomTom support and they keep telling e to restore the purchase, however whatever they are doing has made no difference at all.
    Every time I do as they instruct and go into the TomTom store and attempt to restore purchases the attempt fails with the message "Unable to Connect. Please try later".
    I think that this is a TomTom issue, as when I just tried to purchase a One month subscription in te TomTom store section of the iPhone App, it asked me to log onto the TomTom store, displayed my log on credentials in a box, and then displayed the message"Unable to Connect. Please try later"
    Has anyone else had issues like this with TomTom. It is otherwise an excellent product and I like the Traffic add on. I do not like the fact that they cannot fix theis issue which has been going backwards and forwards between TomTom and I for three weeks.
    All the  best Chris

    TomTom support did eventually solve this although not in a way that reveals exactly what the issue was.
    They got me to delete the App together with its data, from the iPhone which I did. I then re-synced the iPhone, and restored the App.
    It worked again. If this hadn't worked their instructions were to delete it completely and then download a completely fresh copy of the App from their website. Fortunately I did not need to do this as I have a really slow (2 Mbps) internet connection here at home.

  • Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

    Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

    Oh phooey. I had the same problem, so I decided to delete and reinstall. Only to discover that Google's YouTube app no longer supports anything below iOS 6. This is a problem since I'm running an original iPad.
    Yes, I realize that my version of iOS still has the old YouTube app. But it's not the same. For one thing there are a lot of ad-supported videos that will only play in the new app.

  • Option of 'Restore Last Session' not working. Is there any option to repair the 'Mozilla Firefox' without loosing History?

    Option of 'Restore Last Session' not working. Is there any option to repair the 'Mozilla Firefox' without loosing History?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    * Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

  • Default Mail app not working with yahoo mail. Won't update.

    Default Maill app not working with Yahoo Mail.
    It stopped working the other day. I tried everything but it wouldn't update new mail. The yahoo account itself is fine because I can see new mail on Yahoo or a yahoo app.
    I tried deleting the account and putting it back on, but now it has 0 mail in any part of it. Nothing has synced.
    What do I do?
    iPad 2 latest OS.

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • Java apps not working right

    I lately have found problems with Java apps not working correctly. For example, in Yahoo Widgets I cannot get any widget preferences to display; in Apple's Java Preferences for J2SE 5.0 the preference window opens but is blank; and in JBidwatcher the buttons are missing in main and preference windows.
    When I log in as another user I find all those apps work properly, so it seems to be something wrong within my User folder. I tried reinstalling the Java J2SE50ReIease4 but it didn't help. Is there something I can delete and/or reinstall to fix this problem?

    Ditto here,
    I made the mistake of thinking I could throw away the preferences in the Java folder and new pref's would automatically replace the missing pref's, much to my surprise no such thing happened. My settup is the same as yours, except my OS is 10.4.8.
    Someone please help.
    Thanks,

  • Many apps not working after upgrade

    I have a lot of apps not working after upgrade even apple's remote, splash id etc... Anyone else or is it just me?

    I had trouble with MPR, but since it's free, I just deleted it and reloaded it directly from the App store onto the phone. It had an upgrade, too, that must have clashed with the 2.2 upgrade. Once I did the download, it was fine.

  • Ios8 update music app not working

    music app not working after ios8 update

    I wanted to add something here that may or may not be accurate, since I was suffering the exact same issues (on an iPhone 6+, and replicated on an iPhone 5 patched to 8.0) you were describing Nick. In an effort to trouble shoot this I picked up one of the third party tools that allows you onto the iOS device file system. I've been trying since Friday night to reproduce the conditions that cause the issue but haven't quite narrowed it down. Including this here in case the Engineers are poking around in the discussion boards and are trying to reproduce this.
    This is an iPhone 6+ running 8.0 (12A366) connecting physically to iTunes 11.4 on a MBP running 10.9.5 (13F34; fully patched).
    Here's what I did last night and this seems to have worked (meaning, I can sync music now without issue at least for syncs this morning; will confirm tonight by syncing again):
    Turned off iTunes Match on the iTunes library I am syncing from
    Unchecked all non-AAC music files (Apple lossless and MPEG audio both; these were just flat out refusing to copy over, claiming to have copied but coming up with the exclamation point when accessed on the device via iTunes; none of these lossless or mp3 files have been an issue in any previous version of iOS, meaning they are all of the correct sample and bitrate to be used and can sync to other devices in the household running iOS 7)
    Removed all music from the iOS device (by deselecting music syncing)
    Hard rebooted the iOS device after disconnecting it; rebooted the iTunes library host
    Reconnected the iOS device and fired up the third party app (this is the part I do not recommend, but I was eager to try to figure out what the root cause was)
    Removed the iTunes library files on iOS (this is something I had done between other factory resets earlier to force the iOS device to rebuild the library; to rule out library corruption)
    Removed any "music" folders remaining on the iOS device (this is also something I had done a few times which had had no effect)
    Removed any saved artwork (this was something I had not done before, but I too had noticed a strange correlation between it stopping working and the artwork being synced)
    Disconnected and rebooted the iOS device again (forcing a recreation of the iTunes library database files)
    Reconnected the device and started syncing small playlists (50-100 songs). In increments it all seems to be syncing up now without issue
    The two new steps this time around that seem, at least at initial glance, to have solved the problem are stopping syncing any non-AAC music media files and the deletion of the existing artwork folders on the iOS device. Syncing appears to be working, even after disconnecting and reconnecting the device.

  • TS1702 facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall it 3 times but no success

    facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall facebook app 3 times but no success and fbapi error domain occurs,facebook works properly on safari

    Ok, this is what I figured out after 4 hours of testing. Restoring as a new device didn't help for me. Also hard reset, re-installs, unchecking and checking all notification options did not help. I installed facebook messenger but also this program did not have notifications (all my other notifications work.....)
    As my wife deactivated her account I made up a new test account and logged in on my Iphone 4S. Surprisingly this new account had no notification problem at all. The problem is I had been testing with messages all along (and not with reactions on wall posts). It now turns out that all works fine on my original account except for notifications of private messages (or you can call them chat messages). They will simply not work on my original account but work perfectly on my new test account.
    The only difference between the test account and the original acount is that I a have an active user account (FB is doing some testing with acttive users so that they receive lesse indicidual mails by gving those users the option (a check box) to receive overview mails) . See also http://socialsunil.com/facebooks-summary-email-feature-for-active-users/. Could this be the reason I do not receive private message notofications?
    I do not know but I definitely know this is an account problem and not an hardware or software problem. So to all of you try to log in with a different or test account to corner the problem. Please react on this post if you have a solution.

  • TS1702 mailpro app, developer not responding, app not working, what's the next step?

    mailpro
    really useful hotmail, msn & the new outlook mail client
    working fine until last week
    tried all the stuff support recommends
    switch phone on and off
    delete app and reload app
    contact developer
    developer doesn't respond and now
    the app's been taken down in the uk store
    this is a paid app, we should expect something
    for our money, either support from the developer,
    or apple ( who took our money )
    what's the next step?

    thanks very much apple
    you will do absolutely nothing about this ....
    after a two week email discussion with your support team
    you will not
    a. contact the developer
    b. offer a refund
    c. give me an email address for customer complaints
    I am disgusted at the attitude apple displays to its customers,
    and the complete lack of support offered.
    I can have one off telephone support for $49
    ....... for an app not working
    I want a working app ( already paid for via apple app store)
    or a refund for the non working app with no support
    I will not be purchasing any more apple products in the future
