I have a mysterious  disappearance of approx. 10 app icons from my 4S.

I reset to no avail and the icons are still missing, The apps are still present; but I use some of them alot & would prefer not having to do a search every time I want to use them. I did a current sync with my PC. Nothing I have tried has changed anyting.  The search does not give the app location as it does for those in  a folder. A few of these apps have the "Top Hit" comment in the location file. I just got the phone & am new at this. Does anyone know of a fix for this issue? Thank You For Your Insight!

Purchase an iPhone 4s. There is no way to make yours work other than jailbreaking and even that is no longer guaranteed to work, and it is a topic we cannot help you with here.

  • I am legally blind but have suffient sight in one eye to be able to see most things.  I truly wish that the iphone would have the facility to permanently enlarge the Apps icons.  Also the Contacts file as its very difficult to see on screen.

    Does anyone think Apple will ever include permanently large App Icons and Contact in larger fonts??

    Perhaps the iPad is a better device for you, although such small tools are not the best for those who cannot see well.
    As for what Apple may or may not do in the future is speculation and that is forbidden on the forums. You can send your request to Apple at Apple Feedback.

  • I was on a website all of a sudden my screen freezes I was able to get out of that screen after a few second and then noticed all my app icon disappeared  I have an IPhone 5.  Has this happened to anyone before?

    That is very strange! Have you been able to get your apps icons back now? Have you attempted a soft reset by holding the power button and home button at the same time until the phone restarts? Keep me posted with the results!

  • My playlist appears in itunes, but the music files have mysteriously disappeared in my iTunes Media file. Is there a way to recover them? Tried searching and cannot find them.

    Older Zens don't support AAC, which is the format iTunes uses for songs.
    You can convert from AAC to MP3, which every media player under the sun will play.  Here's a tutorial: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10096807-49.html

  • I have an Iphone4.  Suddenly my "Notes" have disappeared.  Any idea what could have happened?  Also, I have another Iphone 4 on our account, and this phone also has had  the "Notes"  mysteriously disappeared.  Help... anyone?

    We have 2  IPhone 4'a on the same account.  Mysteriously it seems that we each are "missing" very important info from where we stored in our "Notes" 
    Neither one of us synced our phones recently, and  I have no idea where to look, or why this would happen.  We also have an IPAD2 and out notes are also missing from there.
    Can anyone shed some light on this, and what we need to do to retrieve our notes, or prevent this from  happening again?
    Thanks :-)

    It should be set up as a new device with her own Apple ID from her own email address.   It seems it may be setup with a backup of your iPad.

  • External hard drive mysteriously disappeared.

    My external hard drive (Firewire) mysteriously disappeared. I can get it to pop up in Disk Utility, but I can't get it to show on the desktop. I've tried it on a few Mac computers. Do you have any idea what happened?

    That's very strange. I don't think I've heard of DU exhibiting that behavior before.
    I presume the reason you don't want to erase the drive is that there is un-backed-up data on it, and that if you could recover that data you could either reformat (erase) or dispose of the drive.
    You may want to try downloading and using the free demo version of one or more of these data recovery utilities:
    Data Rescue II
    FileSalvage
    VirtualLab
    In each case, the demo will show you what files the full version would be able to recover from the drive. You can then decide whether the files you could recover are valuable enough to justify buying the full version of the utility.

  • I saturated all the available iPad (3rd. generation) screen space (home screens or desktop space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen, mysteriously disappeared? Where are those missing quick lauch app icons?

    Running my 3rd generation iPad on iOS 7.0.4, I saturated all the available iPad screen space (which would be the 15 home screens or desktop worth of space) with apps, and the apps that got bumped out of the last screen space mysteriously disappeared. Where are those missing quick lauch app icons now? The apps are still installed and can be searched/accessed through the finder, but they no longer have a user friendly access. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi Hexonxonx, thanks for trying to help, but next time please read the entire discussion, in oder to better comprehend what is being asked. The reason being is that your answer added nothing to what had already been mentioned.
    Like I said, I was aware it was possible to access the apps through the finder, but the question revolved around how to recover the quick launch app icons for certain vanished apps.
    Wow, kind of a snotty response to someone who was taking their own time to offer help.  Whether you thought it was helpful or not, didn't deserve such an unkind retort.  Maybe when you realize we all just users here trying to help others like you, who have issues and we don't get anything in return for the countless hours some people here spend offering that assistance, you'll maybe be a little less quick to be critical.
    Just sayin.......
    Oh and Meg offered the right answer.  Put your Apps in Folders, which will create extra space for the apps which have disappeared.

  • Why have my notes disappeared

    Why have my notes disappeared?

    Just for a little expansion of DonGuerneville advice.  To turn NOTES off as he states:
    1) Go to SETTINGS
    2) go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars
    3) Under account to the top right of your screen, go to EACH account listed here.
    4) you will get a pop-up window which will list the following:
    Mail
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Reminders
    Notes
    Next to each entry is an on/off switch.  Here is where you turn OFF the Notes.
    If you do NOT do it for all Accounts listed they most likely will disappear into the accounts that were NOT turned off.
    One last point.  When my Notes first disappeared the first place I looked into was my Yahoo Account and they were NOT there.  Three weeks LATER is when they first appeared.  Why they delay, that is the new mystery....

  • Apple TV purchased items mysteriously disappearing.

    I purchased a season of a TV show, and I downloaded directly to Apple TV.  I have a first gen box.  I contacted Apple and they claimed they "posted the missing items to my Apple ID".  When I checked my Apple TV unit - some of the missing items appeared.  Then they mysteriously disappeared again!  I have sent multiple emails to Apple Technical Support and they have now stopped responding to my emails.  I called Technical Support and they were no help.  I saw on a discussion board where if you repurchase the items Apple will recognize that you already purchased, and allow you to download at no cost - NOT THE CASE.  I tried, and I was asked " Are you sure you want to repurchase items?"   There is an ITunes option to download previously purchased music and apps BUT NOT AN OPTION TO DOWNLOAD PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED MOVIES OR TV SHOWS. 
    Note I am running the most recent version of Itunes and I am running the most recent software for Apple TV.
    This i

    I am the only person with access to the unit.  I live alone.  I doubt that Apple purposely "deleted" the content.  It should have downloaded but I believe it did not.  It believe the content was streaming, even though I opted to download.  THe point is that Apple has not corrected the provblem.  It has not provided the content for download even though I purchased it. 

  • Navionics app mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone

    I purchased Navionics and downloaded on my PC and sync'd across to my iPhone3. After a couple of months it mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone and would not sync back from laptop. I have since purchased another laptop and, in desperation REpurchased another copy of Navionics. It is sitting in  iTunes along with all the other (free) apps I have downloaded, but will not sync over. Also the "Sync" command only seems to be syncing 1 thing and is not updating bookmarks etc. What's going on?  Any suggestions appreciated!

    Sorry cannot help. I have Navionics on ipad2 purchased using my new iTunes account, but now I cannot update it because whenever I press update button, a pop-up of old account will appear and prevent me from updating. It is really annoying and disappointing.

  • I had about 20 Notes mysteriously disappear from my iPhone 5.

    I recently had most of my notes mysteriously disappear.  The only notes that remain on my phone are over 3 years old.  Trust me, I did not delete them. I have tried recovery software with no luck. A couple of the notes were business related and were my auto mileage records. Is there any way to recover the lost notes?

    Are you syncing with Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, Gmail, etc. If so, which one.

  • My Notes mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone

    My notes mysteriously disappeared from my iPhone 4S - where did they go?
    I have not synced.  But if I did, where would they be on my computer?

    Try going into Notes, then tap Accounts at the top left, and then tap All Notes. You can also try going into all of your email account settings and make sure Notes are switched on for all (green side showing).

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
      Derek Randall

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    I just downloaded Yosemite and all my iPhotos have disappeared! I tried importing them from the photo library but it said there wasn't enough space on my hard drive which is rubbish, because they were there before. How do I get them back to iPhoto?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    How do I get "Now Playing" Cover Artwork to show in bottom/left of screen?
    This has mysteriously disappeared.  Thank you!

    Click on the box symbol with an arrowhead at the bottom left of the iTunes window (it's the fourth symbol from the left) to show or hide the artwork window.  Click on the title bar of the artwork window to toggle between "Now playing" and "Selected item".
