HT204266 My App Store app disappeared from my iPhone 4.  How can I get it back?

I cannot locate my App Store icon on my iPhone.  Any ideas how to get it back?  I need to update another App.  I already checked iTunes and the App Store is not listed anywhere.

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 iPhone 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 equivalent of a reboot.

  • I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    I'm using a mid 2014 13" rmbp. I reinstall the Yosemite due to the wifi issue, when finished, the iMovie was not installed, I try to download it from app store, but it's not free. How can I get iMovie back?

    It's something to do with the main user account (not iTunes account) on my Mac because I logged in with another account and it downloaded fine, I installed it on the HDD and even though the date in App Store was 16th October 2014, it is the full installer of 10.10.2.
    To try to resolve this problem, I have copied the installer app elsewhere and deleted it but App Store still will not allow me to download it with my main user account yet just allowed me to update iTunes.
    I had a brainwave last night that it might have been related to me changing the default downloads folder to one not on my boot drive (to save disk space on my main boot drive) but having changed it back, tried again, rebooted and tried yet again, deleted my App Store preferences. nothing has worked.

    My iMessage app has disappeared from my iPhone.  How do I get it back?

    Good Afternoon Redclc,
    The Messages app is part of the iOS operating system on your iPhone, so it can't be deleted.   That's the good news.  So, it may have been moved to a different home screen.  You can use the Spotlight feature to search for the app on your iPhone.  Here's how:

  • Suddenly the settings app has disappeared from my iphone. How do I get it back?

    Suddenly the setings app has disappeared from my iphone. How do I get it back? I tried resetting the phone to factory settings but that did not help.

    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.

  • HT201394 My Quicktype has disappeared from my messaging. How can I get it back?  I just update my IOS 8 to the 8.2

    My quicktype has disappeared from my messaging.  I have even updated to the IOS 8.2 to fix, but still not there.  How do I get quicktype back?

    The new iOS is 8.0.2, but go into Settings>General>Keyboard and see if it still shows the keyboard installed. You can also try a reset on the phone to see if that will take care of it, by holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. This will not affect any of your data.

  • ICal disappeared from my iPhone.  How do I get it back?

    For some reason, iCal has disappeared from the screen of my iPhone 4.  How do I get the icon back and how do I access my calendar.  I think it's still somewhere on the machine as I received a notice of an appointment.

    You may have hidden it in a folder somewhere; you can't delete apps that are preinstalled.  To find it - or anything on your iPhone - use Spotlight.  Just swipe all the way to the left, past the first home screen, and start typing cal.. into the search box.  in no time at all, you'll find it.

  • All of my Internet Explorer addresses disappeared from my address book - how can I get them back (I do not use Outlook)??

    I just downloaded the newest version of Firefox (from 3.6 to 4.0). I went into my address book, and only a couple of names appeared - all the rest (groups and individuals) disappeared. I found them in an old version of Explorer. How do I copy and export them to Firefox (I don't use Outlook)?

    What happened when this change occurred? What is an "IDN update"?
    Can you provide a screenshot (suitably obfuscated) to demonstrate the "my name appears broken seemingly into columns" effect?
    I don't know of anything formally called a "group" in Thunderbird's address book, so any other words or names that appear might help here. For instance, my Address Book has mentions of Address Book Contact, Address Book and List. The "List" is perhaps the closest to the group concept used in other address book environments.
    Finally, what version of Thunderbird and what OS are you usng?

  • FaceTime has disappeared from my iPhone. How do I get it back?

    I have tried restoring my phone to the factory settings and then restoring from a backup but it still hasn't reappeared. Any suggestions?

    Your profile says you have a 3G running 5.1.1. This is physically impossible. The 3G can only go up to 4.2.1. The 3Gs can run 5.1.1, but facetime is not available on it as it has no front facing camera.
    What exactly do you have?

    Another way is to open your Time Machine back up or clone (if you have one) and copy the App Store app from the /Applications to your Macintosh HD's /Application folder.
    Right click on the Time Machine icon in the Menu Bar.
    Select Enter Time Machine; then navigate to a date you know it was still there and copy if from the /Applications folder.

    Install the v10.6.7 combo update.

    Restart your Mac after the combo is installed.
    It's ok to do this even if you are already running v10.6.7.

  • Apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back.

    Hi, apps are disappearing off my iPhone and I can't get them back. Spotify, Shazam, BBC iPlayer and the Maps app have just gone. I have tried to redownload them from the App Store but there isn't the option, cant get them back with iTunes either. Help!

    I wish it was as simple as that. I have tried to redownload them but they are marked as installed.
    I have even gone into iTunes and in the app tab untucked the disappeared apps, synced, then reticked the apps. This is where the strangest thing happens, the app appears on my iPhone, the progress bar goes from zero to the top, then, when the app should be installed, it disappears.
    So far Spotify, BBC iPlayer, the Maps app, iFooty, and probably some apps I'm not aware of are affected.
    Interestingly, the apps have also gone from my wife's iPhone which is on the same Apple I'd, but they haven't gone from my iPad which is also on the same Apple I'd.

  • I lost the App Store on my iPod touch 4th generation, how do I get it back?

  • My friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

    my friend took my phone and tried to guess my password to unlock it, and he locked me out of my phone for a minute, but when it unlocked and i tried to use my phone all of my apps, photos, all my data had been deleted. how can i get them back?

    As Ocean20 say, your only shot at recovering the photos and data is to restore from a backup (with iTunes if you took the backup with iTunes, through iCloud if you took the backup through iCloud).
    The erasure is to prevent your data from falling into the hands of somebody who takes your phone and eventually guesses your password. If you feel that the inconvenience caused by this feature and your friend outweighs the trouble that somebody could cause if they got possession of your contacts and other data, you can change this behaviour.
