HT204266 App store icon dissappeared from screen on ipad2, also cannot download or manage my apps in itunes when connected to my desktop

App store icon dissappeared from screen on ipad2, also cannot download or manage my apps in itunes when connected to my desktop. Need help!!

For the App Store icon check Settings>General>Restrictions. You may have restricted the installing of apps and the icon will disappear.
If that's not it, swipe from screen to screen as you may have moved the icon.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
More information is needed about the apps not syncing or downloading. Are you signed into the same ID on the iPad as your are using in iTunes on your computer and are you talking about iTunes on the computer being the problem?

  • I downloaded the latest update from the Apps store and it won't work.  I cannot download anothe rbecause the Apps store reads this version installed. What to do?  What to dooooo?

    What a pain in the *** this whole process is too.  I might as well just delete the freakin' program from the computer and rack it up to nonsense on the Apple end of things. To **** with you.  Support ***! Bah! 20 minutes into this process and I have to type and retype over something you suggested I do.  Next time I'll take your suggestions with a grain of salt . Fuggetaboutit!

  • ITunes and App Store icons gone from home screen

    The iTunes and App Store icons have disappeared from my home screen (and no...I did not inadvertently delete them). Any ideas on how to restore them (and the links)? Thanks...

    "You can't delete them anyway, but you could have moved them to another screen. "
    Try looking at home screen number 2 (drag across to it or click the little silver ball at the bottom)

  • App store has dissappeared from my dock

    Mac app store has disappeared from my dock.  It's still in Launchpad.  I can't figure out how to reinstall it.  Running lion 10.7.1. downloaded it again 10.7.1 again, but it didn't help.
    Any suggestions?

    The Mac App Store app is located in the Applications folder. Open a Finder window and browse to the Applications folder and then drag & drop the MAS icon anywhere you choose on the Dock.

  • I somehow managed to delete the app store tab on my homepage and now I cannot download any apps.  Anyone know how I can get that back?  Thanks

    Hi.  I somehow managed to delete the app store tab on my iphone homepage.  Anyone know how I can get that back?  I just got this and now I can't download any apps!  Thanks!

    You cannot delete that icon.  More than likely it's just been moved to another page.  You can use Spotlight to search for it if necessary.

  • Apps store application disappeared from iPhone

    Hi, I've lost App store application in my iPhone after it was upgraded iOS 4.1. In addition, apps sync is not allowed in iTunes, I mean can not be checked. How can I the app store application and from where? Which software might cause the failure: iOS or iTunes? Should I make a back up from iTunes? Can be repair the sync function?
    I have an iPad also, but I don't dare to sync it now.
    Many thanks for help in advance.

    Hi wjosten,
    It worked! You pointed out exactly the solving of my problem. I forgot that I set some restrictions.
    Since I disable to apps download function, it caused that the Apps store icon vanished from the screen.
    After I had enabled this function again, the icon appeared on the screen.
    Thank you again!
    cheers

  • App store icon on iphone4

    I updated my iPhone 4 software to iOS 5 but after updating the app store icon on my phone is gone .how can I get the app store icon back pls help me?

    You cannot delete it.
    It is likely on another page, in a folder, or you have restrictions set.
    Try all of these.
    If this fails then reset your home screen layout.
    All of this is covered in the manual.

  • App Store icon doesn't display pending updates (notifications)

    I've noticed that with many of my friends, they get the notification on top of their App Store icon saying how many apps are pending updates. I do not get these notifications, unless I open the App Store application. If any apps have updates, let's say 3, when I close the app store, then I have the little 3 on top of the App store icon. how do I get these notification automatically without first opening the app store?

    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 (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7), 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.

  • After installing Leopard, the app store icon disappeared

    Hi,
    After installing Leopard, the app store icon disappeared; how do I access it to download Lion? There is no trace of any App store in the Finder.
    Thank you

    You need to update to 10.6.6 (at least) to have the App Store.

  • App Store icon in dock not showing available updates

    Hi,
    I've just migrated over to a new iMac (which is lovely) but I'm having trouble with the Mac App Store icon in the Dock.
    Apparently it is meant to show a small red badge when updates are available for applications bought through the store - but I never see them. If I open the App Store, and click on the [Updates] button I can see a number of available updates listed. I can then install them as normal without any problems.
    So there seems to be a minor problem getting the Dock icon to update itself when updates are available.
    Does anyone know the solution? Sorry if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything in the KnowledgeBase or by searching here - perhaps I don't know the magic words
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike.

    All of your apps were migrated?
    It is a large file, but you may have a damaged MAS, or may be missing a component to 10.6.7, so the only way to reinstall the MAS and to perhaps fill in any missing pieces to 10.6.7 is to download and manually install the Mac OS X 10.6.7 Update Combo. It is safe to install over your current installation of Mac OS X 10.6.7.
    Mac OS X v10.6.7 Update Combo

  • Why do I keep losing the Apps Store icon from my Home Screen?

    It seems that after almost every sync I lose the Apps Store icon. I have to set up as a new iPhone then load all my data again.
    Why would the Apps Store icon just disappear? It's not like I deleted it as I would with an unused/unwanted app.
    Running all the latest updates. Not jailbroken and never has been.
    Puzzling . . .
    Ian

    Has it simply been moved to another home screen? Flick across the home screen to cycle through them. The only other way for it to disappear is if you have toggled off in Restrictions (Settings > General > Restrictions). If it's not turned off in Restrictions, it must be on one of the home screens, there's no way to remove any of the Apple-provided apps. To get it back to the front home screen, tap-and-hold on any icon, then when they all start to wiggle, drag it where you want it.
    Hope this helps...
