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.

    Hi,
    Appstore icon is missing from applications foler. my mac version is 10.6.8. Can you pleae help on this?

    Hi...
    Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    That will reinstall the App Store for you. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.
    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.

  • HT2476 I recently had the hard drive replaced on my Macbook Pro; now the app store icon is missing from my dock

    When my hard drive was replaced by Apple, I had to re-install iTunes myself. Then I noticed that there was a question mark on my dock where the App Store Icon was supposed to be. I did a software update, and now the question mark is gone. How do I get the App Store Icon back on my dock?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

  • My app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod, how do i get it back?

    my app store icon has disappeared from my i-pod touch, does any one know how to get it back

    - Try using the Spotlig search. Maybe yu just can't find it.
    - Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. Maybe it is hidden by setting a restriction for it.
    - Do a reset. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • My App store icon is missing after ios 7 update.

    I updated to ios 7 and now my App Store icon is missing.  There is one page that only has one icon on it, so I am not sure if other stuff is missing too.  Other problems I have had:
    All of my contacts disappearing and then reappearing.
    My privacy settings for photos being changed
    not able to add events to my calendar
    When I search for something in safari, I click on a result and it will not open the link.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks!

    Hi there,
    You may want to double check the Restriction settings on the device. Take a look at the article below for mor information.

  • My icons are missing from finder and Safari.

    Not sure what I have done. My icons are missing from finder and Safari, tired the customise tool bar option with no joy,   please help.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • App store icon gone missing/Web Content Filter - Apple Configurator

    I am using Apple Configurator to manage the iPads at my school. I changed the settings on my school's profile, within Apple Configurator, so that the App store was not available. The App store icon disappeared and all was good. I decided to change the settings back, to allow the App store, saved the settings and refreshed a group of iPads. The App store icon is still missing and it doesn't appear that my new settings have been applied. I quit Configurator and tried again, but no success. I am running Configurator 1.5 and the ipads are running iOS 7.1.
    Also, I have unchecked the "Allow use of You Tube" button because I want You Tube disabled, but Configurator still allows the use of You Tube through Safari. Is there any way to disable the use of You Tube without using the ridiculous "Web Content Filter", that when activated, limits adult content (good), which seems to include a lot of valuable educational sites (bad)? To me the only other option available seems to be to tick "Specific Websites Only" and spend the next year typing in all the possible sites that might have educational merit, ergo, my use of the word 'ridiculous'. Is there something I am missing?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

  • App world icon is missing from my Home and Download screens

    I upgraded to Blackberry App World version 4.0.0.63 on my Blackberry Bold 9780 yesterday. After re-booting the phone, my App World icon was suddenly missing from my home screen. It was not on my Download screen either. I could also not find it when doing a search for App World. I re-installed App World from the Blackberry website. I still had the same problem. Then a friend suggested that I un-install App World by Settings: Device: Application Management: Blackberry App World - and selecting delete in Options. I did this - and then re-installed App World AGAIN on my phone from the website. And still the problem persists. Do I actually have App World on my phone or not? If I do have it on my phone, how and where do I find the icon - so I can place it on my home screen.
    Solved!

  • App Store icon went missing!

    I restored my iPad2 yesterday, and the Apps Store icon was there. Then I synced all the apps, music, books, and  re-arranged the icons through iTunes, placing the App Store icon in the main "dock". But now, the icon went missing...  Any ideas what might have happened? I haven't tried syncing it again...
    Thanks for your replies!  :)

    Duh....... It's kind of embarrasing..... I got it back..... I had placed a restriction on purchasing and deleting Apps (in the General Settings), so that made the icon "disappear"....  Must be the "blonde" in me!!! ;P
    Thanks again for your help! :)

  • 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.

  • After updating to os 5 my apps store icon is missing

    I updated my Ipad 1 to OS 5 yesterday and now I cannot access the Apps Store.  My Apps Icon is missing off the page.  I have tried going to settings and at the store put on for the Apps Store, but nothing happens.  I have tried rebooting and syncing and nothing.

    I assume that you've checked all your homescreens and app folders for it. Have you hidden it by turning Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps 'off' ? If not then does it show when you search for it by name on the spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right) ?
    If it's not hidden and the search doesn't find it then try a reset and 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.
    If you still can't find it then you could try resetting your homescreen layout via Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout and then look for it again

  • What happened to the "tuner" app? it's missing from itunes and apps store

    What happened to the "tuner" app? I bought it a few days ago, and now it's not available when my friend searches for it. I checked itunes, the iphone apps, and even searched by music catatory rather than by name.
    http://www.everythingicafe.com/forum/iphone-3g/tuner-app-mia-from-app-store-3223 0.html

    When you click on the TUNER link, it launches the itunes store and says this app is not available in the U.S. huh? not fun! I have half a dozen friends that are excited to try it out. I'm glad I got it while I could too. I wonder what triggered the removal?

  • HT4461 My daughter was using our iPad and now the Mac App Store icon is missing - where did it go and how do I restore it back to the main screen?

    Need some assistance

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    I think you wanted to say App Store. Mac App Store is only available in Macs, not on an iPad.
    She probably enabled restrictions. Open Settings > General > Restrictions, and disable them by using the password she set. If she doesn't remember it, you have to restore your device to default settings in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, losing everything stored in the device

  • My green messaging icon and my App Store icons etc have totally disappeared and they are not in any folders and I have tried resetting my phone, any ideas about what I could do to get them back?

    My messaging,App Store, ITunes icons have totally disappeared, I have tried looking in other folders etc and resetting my homepage however I still cannot seem to find them, any ideas about how I could get them back? ( I phone 4s)

    If you still have the 'pointers' to them in iTunes then I think that it assumes that you still have them on your computer so it won't re-download them or let you copy them from your iPod - try deleting the iTunes entry for one of them and then re-try re-downloading or, with your iPod connected, File > Transfer Purchases. If it works for that one then do the same for the others.
