Icon for Settings gone.

I have a 3G iPhone and noticed yesterday that my icon for Settings is missing. I have checked all the pages to see if by accident I moved it to another location. Where is was is just blank. I did a search and I can open Settings from there. But would like to have the settings icon back. I tried a home page reset but still no Settings icon.
Thanks for any help that can be offered.

Try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Lost icon for Settings, Safari and Email

I have lost the icons for the following, and probably more. Settings, Safari and email.
I have done what might be called a "hard reset" by holding down both buttons at the same time.
I cannot use iTunes to restore, as it will not allow me to do so.
I have looked in every icon that holds a few programs, and the lost icons are not there.
I understand that scrolling will help find the settings icon, because it is there somewhere, but I have scrolled ad nauseum, and it isn't there.
I don't mind wiping it, but don't know how to do it. This is on the original iPad.

I am not sure I can offer any more help. It seems very odd that you can't find the installed icons anywhere. Just to make sure, you did not see anything in the task bar when you swiped through it? Did you have a search page and what happened when you tried to search for 'settings'. When I try that in my ipad, I will get a listing for my settings icon that I can tap and it will take me to settings.

I also have this issue. Apple has indicated they want to have a larger presence in businesses. VPN is a huge part of any business network. Frustrations are hightened by the VPN disconnecting whenever the device Auto-locks. We have a definite need to make VPN's on iPads less tedious...

No gear icon for Settings - Mac OS 10.9.4, Firefox 32.0

I would like to modify my Settings and also find out if there is a Google calendar in Firefox - like there used to be.

Click the ≡ Menu Button in the top right, then the Preferences icon in the panel that opens. If that icon is missing,
# Click the ≡ Menu Button in the top right.
# Click Customize in the lower left.
# Either drag the Preferences icon from the customization palette on the left onto the panel on the right, or click the Restore Defaults button.
If you somehow had Google Calendar integrated into Firefox, that feature was provided by an add-on.

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

I'm getting a notice on my iPad saying...Provisioning Expiration "Lynx Enterprise Release" expires in 3 days...show or remind. Option are verify or remove...which I am hesitant to do because the icon it shows next to it is the one for "settings".

Why is that making you hesitate? You can't accidentally remove any of the built-in apps, that I'm aware of.

I'm sorry we cannot help you.
You have Jailbroken your device. Apple does not support Jailbreaking and as such having done so has voided your warranty and forfeited any support from Apple and by extension these forums. We are not allowed to discuss Jailbroken devices in any way by the Terms of Service of the forum.
You will have to find help elsewhere. Ask the person that installed Cydia to restore the phone.

The bar icon for downloading that appears next to "trash" and the "bootcamp" icon are gone.   How do I get them back?

This format confuses me.   I intended to simply ask a question but then this discussion window opened up and my question appears as though it were a topic.
Can we ask a question without beginning a discussion?   Then I am chided for trying to post a "blank message".   I am only asking a question.   What is all this talk of messages anyway?
My question is:   The icon next to "trash" that shows downloading is gone. The bootcamp icon is also gone.   How do I get them both back.
Thanks

Welcome,
If you are refering to the Dock Icon which showed you your Downloads folder then open a Finder Window on your Home folder and drag the Downloads folder to the dock. It will create an Icon for the folder.
Not sure about the Bootcamp icon, don;t use it but if there is a Bootcamp folder the procedure should be the same.
regards
BTW Starting a discussion is the same as asking a question.

The icons for links are gone. In their place are hyphentated boxes. After I click on the link once the real icon comes back. But litterally EVERY link icon is now a hyphenated box till I click once. How can I fix this?

The icons for links are gone. In their place are hyphenated boxes. After I click on an existing link once the real icon comes back. For Example: I have several bookmark links for Amazon. Those links now have hyphenated boxes as their icons not the Amazon icon. Once I click on an existing link the Amazon icon is activated and replaces the hyphenated boxes. Literally EVERY bookmark / link icon is now a hyphenated box till I click once. How can I fix this? I'm running Firefox 8.0 on windows XP. This problem started this week. Before and After upgrading to firefox 8.0 from 7.xxxx. See screen shot example.jpg i've attached below. Double click to enlarge it for better viewing. Any input welcomed. Not a major problem but I would like to have the icons back.
Thanks

Thanks. That solved it. I had my doubts since I wasn't concerned about my lost bookmarks. I was concerned about the broken functionality. In any event, restoring from a backup solved both the functionality and the lost bookmarks. I appreciate the response!

Hide settings icon for specific users

Hi
In share point 2013 we have settings icon at top right corner.
Is there any way, I can hide this icon for specific users.
Please help in this regard.
Thanks,
Anil

Hi Kumar,
Its possible.
1.Open the .master page in some textpad/SP Designer.
2.Look for below tag. This is the holder for SITE ACTIONS
<SharePoint:SiteActions
3.Look for the Menu item templates. These will clearly give you an idea on wht they will hold.
<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate
4.There will be 2 attributes for each menu item called
PermissionsString & PermissionMode.
In the permission string give the required permission to the user to be shown or hide.

Perhaps it’s a design feature to speed up the Organizer launch.
I am sure it is.
- The normal use of the Organizer is not the folder view, it's the thumbnail view with an organization based on categories and folder. That way you should forget completely where your pictures are stored. Anyway, the folder view in the Explorer is not a map of the location of the different bits of your file, it's only a logical representation. That's easy to see when you are doing a defragmentation.
- The folder view is useful even for those using normally the thumbnail view, but that is only for rare cases when you must change the folder organization, for instance moving files to another drive. The folder view is here to prevent you from changing things from the explorer and outside of the Organizer.
- The new folder list view, which you find 'funny' is there to help better organizing using tags. Its huge advantage is that such a view is created extremely quickly by extracting the last subfolder in the media table : it's the way the database sees the folders, based on its own content, totally ignoring the complex folder organization of your disk with media files or any unrelated other kind of data. You should use it in many cases, the main purpose being assigning tags when you have assigned descriptive folder names. I had suggested such a solution to prevent the long standing bugs in the folder view of previous versions.
So yes, the purpose is:
- to speed up switching modes
- to help folder organization fans to migrate to tags organization
- to hopefully get rid of the old folder organization bugs
