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.

    acccented characters in received email on iphone display incorrectly, although tehy are correct on email message displayed on PC

    Normally that should not happen unless the emails have erroneous or missing "charset =" statements in their "content-type" header.  Unfortunately on the iPhone there is no way for the user to compensate for this kind of issue.  Could you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

  • 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.

  • Application Stack doesn't display proper app icon at first

    Hi everyone,
    I have noticed that every time I have either installed an application or drug an app into my Applications stack in the dock, when I click the stack I get a default and crossed-out application icon (see here: http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/6269/picture1df7.png and look the app 1001). The apps all open fine, but I have to drag the app to another location in Finder, like the desktop and then back in to the Applications folder for the icon in the Stack to display correctly. Odd and slightly annoying. Anyone else experiencing this? definitely a small bug.
    -William

    Yep, it's odd.
    I don't have to move the application to fix things, simply opening the applications folder itself and launching the app from there will clear up the issue.

  • IPhone displaying incorrect email receive date

    Forgive me if I have posted in the wrong community, however this is my first post. My iphone 4 (iOS 6.0.1) has recently (over the past three days) started sporadically assigning a xx/xx/00 date to emails rather than xx/xx/12. When I open the email the date is the current date, but the receive date is not. Not all emails display the wrong receive date. My husband's iphone 4 has also started doing the same thing today; I'm not sure if it is specific to 4s or if other iphone models are also experieincing this problem. I also don't know what is causing this, and therefore how to fix it, but I would appreciate any advice or solutions from others who may have had this problem.

    Hi,
    My provider is telstra but I also have a private domain. I have 4 email accounts going to my iphone, three of which belong to telstra and one to my private domain. I have no issues with my private domain only one of my bigpond email accounts. The problem is also occurring on my imac. I'm yet to check my ipad. The date on each of my devices is correct. I changed the date and time on my iphone to manual but it made no difference. My imac still has the date and time set at automatic. I'm guessing from your line of questioning that this is more likely a provider issue rather than a osx or ios issue - am I correct?

  • Why is my iPhone displaying incorrect time?

    Image should explain all.
    The time at the top is 8 hours behind. I can't correct it because when I go into Time, it's correct!
    Many thanks

    Hey there JonnyAustin,
    It looks like your phone is showing an incorrect time but it is set correctly in Settings. I would start with quitting all the running apps on the device:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persits, I would next use the troubleshooting in the following article for additional assistance:
    iOS: Troubleshooting issues with date and time - Apple Support
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Iphone displays incorrect time

    My iphone 5 recently began reporting wrong time. It currently says APR 26, 2033  8:27am
    that time/date cannot be changed to reflect current .
    What is the solution?

    Is "Set automatically" switched on in Settings>General>Date & Time?

  • Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air

    Calendar Tile on Windows 8.1 displaying incorrect date for icloud calendar but date icon displays correct date on iPhone 5 and iPad Air.  Date on Windows 8.1 is correct.  Thank you.

    Try doing  a reset on your phone. Sounds like your carrier's time set is not getting through to your device. If the reset doesn't do it, then go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. That should do it.

  • 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 store icon missing from iPhone display

    App store icon is missing from my iPhone display. I don't know how to reintall it. I can't install any apps. I check setting/general/restriction is already off. Please help.

    It cannot be deleted. If it's not restricted, it's on another screen or in a folder. If not found, try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

  • Calendar app icon is displaying the wrong date

    For some reason on my iPhone's homescreen the icon for the Calendar app has today started displaying the wrong date.
    It should show today's date, Monday 6th but instead it reads Sunday 5th.
    What confuses me is that the phone does know the date is Monday 6th as the lock screen shows it correctly and also when I actually load the Calendar app it starts on the right date. Also, when I load the multi task bar the Calendar app icon there is correct. See the attached photo, which shows the Calendar app on the home screen (faded, middle left) displaying yesterdays date Sunday 5th, while the app icon in the multi task bar is correct, Monday 6th.
    Syncing the calendar with my iMac does not correct the error. Equally, turning the phone off and on again has not sorted it.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the fault? And more importantly how to correct it?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the suggestion DaVBMan, sadly it didn't work. The only thing that did work was to wait until midnight and it corrected itself. In the mind of the phone it lived a whole day twice and then skipped one completely in order to get back on track. Very odd and also I have since discovered it has happened to a few of my friends too.
    It's not happened again so I have no idea what so ever what caused it. Fingers crossed it never recurs.

  • Accidentally lost the FitBrains app/icon from my iphone

    Where has the icon/app gone?  It is still in my iTunes library C:\Users\Maria\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Mobile Applications\Fit Brains 1.6.2  In iTunes I have sync'ed my iphone with my laptop; dragged the FitBrains icon app to my iPhone in iTunes; all my iPhone screens with their apps show in iTunes and I see Fitbrains on the first screen of my iPhone in iTunes.  However when I check the phone and listing of apps it is not there.
    Both iPhone4S and iTunes display of my iPhone show 163 apps  11.35 GB

    MetaSolaray thanks for your suggestions.  I had tried the latter;hadn't seen FitBrains. After resetting the home layout  when I checked App Store > Updates > Purchased > Not on This Phone>, 'Fit bRains Trainer' shows up with the icloud download icon to the right.  Clicking on this turns to the 'bull's-eye' circle but no download.  I will check the FirBrains site; I really enjoyed this app on the bus commute and bought a lifetime license.  Thanks!

  • Apps Icons losing Retina display?

    I've recently downloaded a couple of new apps that the App Icon are not displaying the retina display. What is odd is that in the App Store it looks normal and even while it's downloading it looks normal, but once it is loaded, it looks blurry. Anyone know what is causing this?

    WITHOUT needing to jailbreak, you can CHANGE your THIRD PARTY apps. I've been doing this, on a ALWAYS VIRGIN iPhone 4.
    http://lifehacker.com/#!5647008/change-your-iphones-app-icons-without-jailbreaki ng
    It's nice, because there's a lot of apps that I have, that I think devs have abandoned, so I don't have to worry about updates being pushed through, and even if they are, I am saving the icons, so that I may push them through if they ever get updated without a new icon.
    This not only lets me update it to a retina display icon (114 x 114), but I can also change the icon, if I so desire!

  • No problem with this with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date.

    I am unable to sign-in to my iphone4 to make purchases or update apps. There is no problem with my MacBook Pro or ipod Touch when logging in to iTunes or Apple.com. My iphone keeps displaying incorrect password. All software is up to date. This very strange. Any suggestions how to resolve this problem as it is quite frustrating.

    Sig,
    Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

  • TS3276 An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

    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.
