Incorrect app icons

From time to time my icons display the wrong app!
Done it a few times now.

It won't be more than a month. The thing is, when a huge update like 3.0 is released or a product is released, there are going to be bugs in it. The reason you ask? Think about the scale, there are probably under 100,000 people that tested the 3.0 software, and far less than that that tested the iPhone 3GS. How many bugs are they going to see versus when the 3.0 software is released and when the iPhone 3GS is released? They might have tested it a ton and never experienced some of the bugs we are experiencing, the fact is, there are millions using the 3.0 software and about a million using the iPhone 3GS, which is a huge difference from the number they had beta testing. If you think about it too, how many people are experiencing these problems? A small fraction of the people, so it's not like it is a failure on Apple's part. They were quick in releasing updates to 1.0 and 2.0 when it first came out, and they are already handling this 3.1 update very quickly.

IPhone displaying incorrect app icons

I have an original 8GB iPhone running OS 3.0. Since I upgraded, every time I install a new app, it displays an incorrect icon. It seems that it displays the icon for the most recently deleted app. For example, I installed the Pizza Hut app, and the iPhone is displaying an icon for the msnbc app which I deleted a couple of days ago. This happened when I first installed the msnbc app, it showed an icon for a different application. I have re-booted, and re-synced, and still have the same results. Any ideas?

I had the same problem, deleted apps re-downloaded still did it, restarted the phone still did it even doing a restore still did it. the only thing that worked for me was to power the phone off not restart just off, now every app has the right icon.

ITunes App icon displays incorrect number of updates

Am currently running iTunes 11.03 but this issue has been around for several months. The App icon in iTunes indicates there are 38 updates available. After downloading them and syncing with my iPhone 3GS, the icon contiues to indicate 38 updates being available. Is there a way to reset the update counter?

When the export conversion completed, the correct number of songs was displayed on both libraries. Thank You.

App icons have changed appearance

I have downloaded a ton of apps. SOME of the icons have taken on the appearance of some of the other icons. I have deleted the app and reinstalled them. Didn't work. Did a complete reset. No go. Is this a gliche? I synched, no go. I have not upgraded to 3.1 or itunes9. Should I? Why would this phone do this? Is it defective? Has anyone run across this problem? Can I change the icons? Thanks to you all !!

iPhone OS 3.1 fixes the issue that caused some app icons to display incorrectly.

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

Anyone know how to delete an app icon bookmark?

I'm using an iPhone 4 with the 5.1 iOS. I downloaded an app for LG which turned out to be just a Safari bookmark with an app icon. It looks like a regular app but when you click it - Safari opens and it takes you to the LG webpage. Now I want to get rid of it and I can't. It doesn't appear in the list of apps in iTunes in the Sync Apps area, although it does show up on the phone and in the phone panel in iTunes. When I click on the app icon in itunes (in the phone panel) - it highlights it, but there's no X, and right-clicking doesn't do anything and pressing doesn't do anything either. It does not appear in my list of bookmarks in Safari either. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks!

nevermind - figured it out. thanks anyway.

Next time you accidentally use 3 fingers it will zoom again. Unless you need the feature you're better to turn it off

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Having a problem with Ipad2 IOS 7 itunes moving app icons

When trying to move or reposition app ICONS in iTunes for my iPad2 it is extremely sluggish or won't let me select a home screen or icon to work with.
Sometimes all the home screens "disappear" from the window.
Did not have this problem with previous iTunes version 11.x.x before updating to the new 11.1 iTunes and IOS 7 on my devices.
My iphone 4s with IOS 7 does not have this problem, but is a little sluggish.
Running Windows XP on a very fast PC.
Thanks

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.

Question mark in mountian lion launch control were app icon should be

I have just purchased a new mac book pro which came with OSX lion installed. As a result of that I did a time machine backup from my old macbook to the new one. All went well and everything was updaed. I then installed OSX Mountain lion. It said on compleation that all was well. All dock items were there, everthing open and closed from the dock, however when I opened launch pad the following apps had a question mark icon instead of the app icon. They were MOUNTAIN LION.CALENDER,CONTACTS,NOTEPAD. They all launch from the dock but not from launch pad, anyone have any ideas whats wrong.

I cannot find it in the applications folder on those accounts, just on the main account
Safari is supposed to be in Macintosh HD --> Applications
If Safari is not in that folder, move it there.
It should not be in Users --> yourusername -->Applications

How can install a second app icon of the same on app on a different home screen?

how can install a second app icon of the same on app on a different home screen?
for example i have the phot app on one home screen and the i want the same photo app showing on the other home screens?
I want to have a duplicate app on on more than one home screen
Another example if i have the Evernote app showing on my first home screen and then my last home screen as well

Put it in the dock at the bottom. Apps put there stay there and show at the bottom of all home screens.

How do I move an app icon from one page to another?

I would like to organize my Ipad2 but can figure out how to move the app icon from one page to another.

Tap and hold down on an app icon until it wiggles. Then hold down on the icon and drag it about halfway over to the next screen and just hold it there for a second or two and the app will jump to the next page. Do it slowly and just hold the app on the edge of the screen. Don't try to drag it over quickly. It takes a little practice.
Tap the home button when you are done and the apps will stop wiggling.

I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon in the trash now? (I am on a Mac) Thank you!

I've "successfully" installed the latest version of Flash Player, as recommended by Firefox. How do I find where it "lives" so that I'm certain it's in there. Also, do I put the App icon that appears on my desktop, in the trash now? I am on a Mac and I am not technically inclined.
Thank you!

Your list of plugins shows that you have installed Flash 10.2 r152 which is the current release version.
You can also confirm that Flash is installed by visiting this link - http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about
