Icons for purchased apps are missing

I bought this iPad 16GB from a friend. All apps that imahve purchased say installed no matter how I come at it. However there are several that did not install an icon you can tap on. And I don't know how to fins them or use them now.

The apps show as installed in the Purchased tab at the bottom of the App Store app ? Are they hidden by an app age rating having been set in Settings > General > Restrictions ? If you have the maximum 11 home screens then additional apps will only be accessible via the iPad's spotlight search screen (swipe your first homescreen to the right)
You could try a reset and see if appear after the iPad 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot. Another option is to do Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout which might make them easier to find.

HT4623 I downloaded the new operating system to my iphone 4S and the icons for my apps are missing? How do Icorrect this?

I downloadedthe new operating system to my iphone 4S and now I can't find my icons for my apps? Any Suggestions??

If you will go to settings to itunes and apps store. Once you've logged in with your apple id you then are given the option to automatically download apps that were purchased using the Apple id in which you logged in with .
Good luck.

IOS update to 5.1 now all purchased apps are missing

I just completed the iOS update on my husband's phone & all of his purchased apps are missing. They are not in his phone, nor are they in iTunes despite a previous back up. Where are they & how do I restore them?

As long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . If you download them to your computer's iTunes you could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

Downloaded Icons for purchased apps missing

Hi,
(first problem)
I have an iPad 2 with ios4 and an iTouch with ios5. Both have the same problem.
When I download an App from iTunes on either machine, I am successful in
purchasing and downloading Apps generally. However, the icons never show
up in any window on either machine. They used to show up as the last icon
on the last screen. But no more.
However, if I search for them I do find them and can launch and use them. I do
have a lot of icons on both the iPad and iTouch so maybe I've just "used up"
all the space available for icons?
(second problem)
This problem is related to the first problem above, in that I want to remove an
App because I "bought" this free app while signed into another of my Apple IDs.
And it will not let me subscribe to the SCIENCE ILLUSTRATED magazine.
Soooo, I try to remove the App to purchase it again. The catch is that there is no
icon on any of my screens, I have to "search" for it to find it. And in the search
screen there is no way to delete this app.
So, I have to delete this app and re-purchase this "free" app so I can subscribe
to SCIENCE ILLUSTRATED.... grrrrrrrr........this is so stupid......
(summary)
I think I could solve both problems if I could figure out where my missing icons
are. They are not in directories by the way.
Thanks for any suggestions!

Have you tried a reset?
Press and hold the Home button and the Wake / Sleep buttons at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
If that does not work, then restore the iPhone, but do not restore the backup as it may be a files that is restored in the backup that is causing the problem. If you do that you will have to set up the iPhone again from scratch.

Icons for running apps are not showing in the dock

I just noticed that newly opened apps were not appearing in the dock. I then closed and deleted some apps that had been residing permanently in the dock, and started them again. Their icons did not reappear. I'm running Leopard on a G4 ibook. Does anybody have any idea why this is happening?
Also, that little light which comes on under the icon in the dock if the app is open does not come on for Safari. Even though it is open, the icon sits there with no light. Why is there no light, I wonder.

delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.dock.plist and log out/in. your dock, spaces and exposé will be reset to the defaults. see if that fixes the issue.

Purchased "Moneypad app" missing in App Store. I've used that app for more than a year and all my financial records are in it. I have the backup but I need the app. How can a purchased app go missing??? Is that even legal??

I've used "Moneypad" app to record my financial transaction for over a year and I got an update today. After updating all the icons where misplaced and there were a lot of bugs in the app. The update said "Restore original app icon". So I decided to delete it and reinstall the app but now i couldn't find the application in the itunes store both through my Macbook air and my iphone 5. What do I do now?? how can a purchased app go missing? Is it even legal to delete apurchased app from the itunes store?? What happened to my money and the worst part is my records cant be used in anyother application but "Moneypad". There were 2 version of the app in the store. One was free and the other One was paid. The free app is still there but the paid One is gone!! Please respond to this issue as soon as possible! I need it to record my daily transactions or it would mess up my work a lot! Thankyou.

I did buy it long back! and now,I downloaded the free version and it requires me to buy it again to make it pro. and NO I dont have a copy of the application with me! I juz have the backup of the app data with me! and "
MoneyPad√ " is the trial version. The original version which was Rs.220 in India when i got it was named "MoneyPad" without the mathematical symbol. Please is there any way i could get that application back?? I purchased the application and i've got all rights to own it! and what do you mean by "App developers can remove their apps from the store at any time"? So Can I upload some stupid app claiming to be something else and costing around $100 and delete it as soon as someone purchases it??

I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive. I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location. After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.

I may have found an answer here:

They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Notes in the Notes app are missing after upgrade to iOS 8

I upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 8. After the upgrade, all of the notes stored in the Notes app are missing. The notes were not associated with an email address, as I believe they were stored on the "On my iPhone" account. I also tried restoring the phone from a backup prior to the upgrade, but that did not restore the notes. To be clear, the notes app is there, but the notes inside it are missing. Solutions?

ical is a native app and cannot be deleted
spotlight can now be found by swiping down anywhere on the screen below the first row of icons.
you can also go to settings/general/reset/reset home screen

I have registered a credit card for purchasing apps from the app store. My bank has issued a new chip based card and now the 16 digit numbers have changed. How do I register the new card for flowless purchases?

I have registered a credit card for purchasing apps from the app store. My bank has issued a new chip based card and now the 16 digit numbers have changed. How do I register the new card for flowless purchases?

Go to Apple Menu > App Store > View my account > sign in and then edit the payment details with the new card details.
I am assuming that your card and supporting bank are in the same country as your residential (billing) address and that you are using the App Store of that country.

Apps are missing after updating to 4G.

Apps are missing (all but 3) after updating ITouch to 4g
They still show up on Itunes but not showing up on Touch even after syncing
How do I get them back?

First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If not successful, try restoring the iPod from backup.

HT4623 SOMEHOW the icon for rotation lock is missing from the control bar. I tried to reset but my passcode doesn't work. First, how do I find my passcode? Then, if I reset, will it return the rotation lock to the control bar?

I don't know how it happened why, but the icon for rotation lock is missing from the control bar. Second problem, the passcode for my iPad isn't working. I wrote it down, so not sure what the problem is. HELP

If the setting for the rotation lock is missing it is because you are using the side switch to control the rotation in Settings>General>Use Side Switch to>Lock Rotation. The software switch in the control center should be for Muting system sounds.
you have to restore the iPad in orde to unlock it now.
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong ...
If you are sure that you are entering the correct passcode, reboot the iPad and then try again and see if it is accepted.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
