I mistakenly deleted my App Store icon. How do I restore it?

You can't delete it. Maybe you hid it.
Check Settings > General > Restrictions.

  • I have accidentally deleted my App Store. How do I get it back on my phone?

    I accidentally deleted my App Store off of my phone. I can't figure out how to reinstall it. I can still see it in my open apps when I double click my
    Home button. How do I fix this?

    Go to Settings > General > Reset > and then press Reset Home Screen Layout

  • I have deleted my App Store. How do I get it back again?

    I have deleted my App Store. Can someone tell me how to get it back?

    It's still on your iPad somewhere, though you may have hidden 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 (pull down the centre of the home screen in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?

  • I have deleted my shortcut for the media app store.  How do I get it back?

    I have deleted my shortcut for the media app store how do I get it back?

    Hi BECK94:
    I can help you get your shortcut back! Here's what you'll need to do (Add a shortcut to home screen). If you accidentally deleted the application altogether, you can download it again in the Play Store. Note: If you're referring to your Market application, the name has changed to the Google Play store.
    I hope that helps. If I'm way off base here, please provide more detail to your issue so we can properly assist.
    Thanks,

  • App store problem after updating OS to Mavericks.  Ended up deleting app store.  How do I get it back?

    I upgraded to Mavericks.  When I tried to update my apps in the appstore, I was getting prompted to enter in a password for someone else's Apple Id.  I have no idea who this person is and I could not change the ID.  I was logged into the App Store under MY id but for whatever reason when i chose to update an app, I was prompted with this person's ID. I researched this and someone in a forum suggested deleting the app and reinstalling it.  I have app zapper so I zapped the app and I no longer have an app store..  I also have no way of getting the app store back.  Apparently, it's part of Mavericks.  I cannot even reinstall Mavericks because Mavericks is only attainable through the App store.
    I have a big problem don't I?
    I recovered the files that app zapper "zapped" from my trash.  They are as follows:
    One "app store" folder that contains a file called: updatejournal.plist
    One "AppStore" folder that contains a file called: manifest.plist
    And a file called com.apple.appstore.plist
    How can I get app store working again?
    And then there's the issue with this person's apple ID.  How do I get the app store to purge this person's login?  My machine is an Apple Refurbished so perhaps the person who is attached to the store is the person who bought the machine new?  I have no clue.  I do think it's a huge security flaw on Apple's part to expose a stranger's login information
    Help is immensely appreciated.
    Thanks.

    There are a few things you need to do.
    A.
    Remove "App Zapper" according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again.
    B.
    Deleting system components is never the solution to any problem.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.
    C.
    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • Already purchased apps vanished from "Purchased" list in app store. How do I get them back without buying them again?

    I had a problem with my 3GS iphone. At the Genius Bar I was told the phone had to be reinstalled. Since I had backed up the phone I agreed. Afterwards they told me, I should not use the backup but reinstall everything fresh manually. Now I find that several apps that I have used frequently in the past and did pay for are not in my "purchased" list of the App store.
    It might have something to do with the fact that the apps I used to use are now optimised for higher iOS. I cannot install iOS7, but the apps that vanished from the list can still be installed. I just dont want to buy everything again.
    Does anyone have suggestion how to get back those apps?

    You can re download past purchases for free but make sure and use the same Apple ID and password.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Delete App Store. How do I get it back?

    Edit: never mind, I figured it out.

    It can't be deleted, it's one of the built-in apps. You've checked all your homescreen and app folders for it, and is it hidden by Settings > General > Installing Apps being set 'off' ?

  • Most of my built in apps are erased on my brand new ipod touch 4g, like face time and apps store . How do i get them back, like face

    i need my built in apps back . Does any one know about this ?

    The built in Apps can not be deleted. Check other screens. Check existing folders. Check Settings - General - Restrictions.

  • My daughter some how deleted the app store icon off my phone and I can't seem to get it bk what do I do please

    Hi my daughter managed some how to delete the app store icon from my home screen and I cannot seem to be able to find it can anyone help

    The App Store app cannot be deleted (it also can't be downloaded and isn't part of any backup, so ignore the other comment) so either she moved it to another home screen, dropped it into a folder, or turn off "Installing Apps" in the General/Restrictions settings. 
    If you check Restrictions and Installing Apps is turned on and you can't find the App Store app otherwise, you can go to the General/Reset area and reset the Home Screen Layout. That should get it back.
    Regards.

  • My 2 year old has deleted my 'apps store' icon and I cannot figure out how to get it back? Doesn't seem to be available in the on-line apps store, ironically enough

    He dragged the icon out of the dock at the bottom and disappeared. That icon is merely a "shortcut" that opens the application when you click on it.
    You still have the app. Open your applications folder and look for the App Store app icon. Click and hold down on the App Store icon and drag the icon down into the dock to replace it. That puts the shortcut back into the dock.

    Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.
    If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.
    You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions.

    Swipe through your screens and swipe to the left of your Home screen. Type in App Store in the search field. It's a permanent pre installed Apple app so it can't be deleted.
    If you can't locate it on the iPad for some reason, connect the device to your computer. Right or control click the iPad under Devices left side of the iTunes window then click: Restore from backup

    2. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)

  • Lost my app store icon how do I recover?

    Lost my app store icon - How do I recover it?

    Its a preinstalled app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you in the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press until the icon wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
