  • YouTube icon and app disappeared after recent upgrade

    I recently did an upgrade and afterward my YouTube icon and app disappeared.  I just want it back!  I went to the App Store and can't even find just plain ol' YouTube.  How can I get it back?

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

  • ITunes icon and App Store missing from my MacBook Pro

    Hi,
    I just changed my MacBook Pro hard drive but I now have a problem with iTunes and the App Store.
    iTunes is opening and working correctly but the icon for it is a notepad with a pen. I tried to download the new version and install it but it is still the same.
    The App Store has a question mark as an icon and doesn't open at all. When I clic on it, the icon is not even bouncing.
    Please help me resolve this problem.
    Thanks
    Julie

    this might or might not work for you...i had something similar happened to me once when my icons and apps got switched around word became excel and excel became itunes.....etc....
    what i did was verify my disk permissions - errors were found - i repaired them and when the repair was done, i restarted my macbook and everything was back to normal.
    again, not sure it will work for you but it's worth a shot...
    good luck - hope you get it sorted out.

    Hi - I'm on a Mac - OSX 10.4.11  Trying to get DNG 6.7 installed.  Says 'sucsessfull' but big line throght icon and app won't open.  Previous DNG was 5.6 and was fine.  Dragged it to trash to delete. and deleted trash. Then realised  poss  mistake and installed AppDelete and reinstaled 5.6 and draged to AppDelete  - along with 6.7 then tried again to instal 6.7 but still no good.  Any ideas what I can do? or where things have gone wrong and how can I fix? Thank you .

    If this is a compatibility issue because you are using an older operating system then there isn't much you can do aside from updating your OS. Do you need DNG converter 6.7? You said that DNG converter 5.6 was working fine. You could reinstall it if it supports your camera.

  • Our icons and apps are black

    Our icons and apps are black and do not open when clicked on. Any ideas?

    Step one is to do a safe boot and see if the problem persists. Step two is to log into a newly created admin user account and see if the problem persists.

  • HT5569 i don't have the safari icon, itunes icon and app icon in my iphone5

    i don't have the safari icon, itunes icon and app icon in my iphone5

    Are they turned off in Settings > General > Restrictions?
    IS there an Exchange profile installed on the device that restricts these features?
    It is not possible to remove these items as they are a part of iOS.

  • Why ipad new dont have clock icon and app?

    why ipad new dont have clock icon and app? i have ipad new and also i have iphone 4s but idont have a clock app in my ipad

  • Screen Images, Icons and Apps Enlarged

    Since installing the latest software update today - Version 4 - The way in which ions, images and apps display has changed.
    All icons appear larger than normal and a whole screen of icons cannot be viewed at the same time.
    Photos open larger than screen size. Canbe shrunk and enlarrged but do not remain the changed size when fingers are released.
    The page that opens when the iPod Touch is turned on is enlarged so that all the normal data is not visible in the viewing area - moving up and down the screen - which is very difficult - reveals the slider.
    Anyone got a solution?
    Thanks
    Peter

    You may have inadvertently used the three-finger-tap zoom feature.
    Tap your iTouch with three fingers to restore the original zoom
    Drag with three fingers to move around more easily.
    Tap once and slide with three fingers to zoom incrementally.

  • 2.2 Upgrade and Apps Disappear

    I've been struck with the dreaded "disappearing apps" problem after upgrading to iPhone 2.2 yesterday on my 3G.
    Yes. I've upgraded iTunes to 8.0.2. I'm not an idiot. Yes, I backed everything up dutifully. No, I'm not a Mac newbie. Yes, I've both restarted and did a firm reset of the phone.
    Now it looks like I'll have to delete the apps that open and then disappear, and reinstall them. Everything else works fine.
    WOULD IT BE TOO MUCH TO STOP ASKING US TO BE BETA TESTERS?????

    Haha
    I fixed my own issue.
    I reinstalled itunes on my computer, deleted all the ringtones off the iphone, and then loaded them back on.

  • All my songs and apps disappeared while syncing to my new computer. how do i get them back???

    I lost all my songs(two years worth) and apps when I was syncing to my new computer. How do I get them back without paying again???

    Did you fail to copy everything from your old computer or your ipod before syncing?
    If so:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • File icons and app icons hidden?

    Hi, ever since I ugraded to Mavericks, some of my apps and file icons disappear, but the title still shows up
    See Safari and Mail:
    See Anxiety and The Sims 3:
    See the following in my Microsoft Office folder
    Has anyone else had this happen since upgrading to Mavericks? Anyone know a solution?

    is there any changes before this issue happen?
    may I know your security software status?
    did you try to scan your PC before?
    please repeat create new admin account, clean boot and sfc once again to make sure there is no issue related to user profile issue, 3rd party software issue and registry issue
    if not working i suggest you to perform system restore, back to condition when this PC working fine
    and if still persist after system restore, since this issue intermittent, I suggest perform in place upgrade

  • ZENworks window logout and apps disappearing

    We are experiencing an issue with our ZENworks window logging out and losing a number of available icons.
    The ZCM Server (10.3.3) was restarted on Friday night to try to resolve an issue where the content of any newly created bundles was not replicating to the primary server correctly, resulting in a status of Unavailable.
    The restart has fixed that problem, however this morning (Monday), we are experiencing an issue where a number of icons in the ZENworks window are disappearing and we have to re-login to ZENworks to bring them back.
    This has occurred on my machine at least twice this morning.
    Can anyone shed any light on this behaviour?
    Cheers

    The issue appears to be affecting all workstations, so my guess is that the problem is server side.
    I have enabled debugging on my own system, and will examine the log next time it occurs.

  • Icons and Apps.

    Hi, I got some issues with my windows 8.1 OS.
    -the original apps that were set on the start screen disappeared, but when I pin new ones they work well.
    -When clicking on start, am taken directly to all programs/apps.
    Also at all programs/apps, I find some apps missing including Command prompt and Run. Other programs that I installed are working properly.
    All this is still happening even after scanning for viruses and performing system recovery 4 times.
    Help will be highly appreciated.

  • Email icon and function disappears 3 seconds after opening a PDF in Acrobat 8.

    Using Adobe Acrobat 8 with updates applied, when opening .pdf files the email function disappears 3 seconds after the file opens.  I have had this program in my PC for years, and this functionality worked up until last week when it disappeared.
    I have been informed that this program is no longer supported by telephone, and that I need to upgrade to gain access to support.
    I have reinstalled the program and the problem persists.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Hi Jason,
    I would recommend you to do a selected startup and then enable the programs one by one to isolate which program might be causing this.
    Please refer the KB: Restart Windows in a modified mode | Windows 7, Vista for selective startup of Windows.
