Somehow I lost or deleted (more likely) the settings icon on my phone. Now I cant change ring tones. Please help. I already tried resetting by removing battery. Thanks

Do you have a speaker icon on your phone?

I accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac

i think i accidently deleted the settings icon on my mac is there anyway of getting it back without going to an apple store?
many thanks

Now to worry the icons in the Dock are only aliases.
So if you go into Applications and find System Preferences and drag that back to the Dock that will create another one for you.

I accidentally deleted the settings icon on my I phone 4 how do I restore it

I accidentally deleted my I phone 4s settings icon how can I restore it?

The Settings app cannot be deleted.
Are you sure it wasn't accidentally moved to another page or into a folder?
Did you try a Spotlight search? (Swipe down from the middle of your home screen and type "Settings")
If you cannot find it you can reset your home screen layout:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

Safari deletes history, settings, icons at quit

My copy of Safari 5.1.2 in Snow Leopard has started acting crazy. When I quit the application I discover on the next launch that it has deleted the entire history and all websites that where in Top Sites. It also deletes the icons that I use to recognize the web sites that I visit reguarly and replaces them with the generic blue globe.
Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to stop this behavior?
I have the latest version of Safari Stand with the thumbnails in the sidebar and I have the sneaking suspicion that this may be the cause of the problem, but I am not sure.

Uninstall SIMBL by deleting these items:
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL
/Library/LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL, as it’s one of the worst articles of crapware on the Mac platform. It’s likely to come bundled with some other modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

I have lost the system preferences settings icon and want to reinstall my os to orig settings unfortunately I have lost thrown out disc due to moving house, can i get a copy of hardware drivers as can buy os disc

Can anybody help I have no problems duyinng new os system,
but unable to find which hardware and drivers required for system to work

All hardware drivers are included with the Operating System, OS X.
You will need the Original system discs to Reinstall the OS clean. You can get them from Apple for a fee. So call Apple and have the serial # of your Mac and order the Replacement System Discs. And this time try not to lose or throw them away.

Settings icon accidentally deleted

I accidentally deleted the "settings" icon from my iPhone 3GS. How do I restore it?

None of the default apps can be deleted (try and see for yourself). It must be on another page or there's a software problem... 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.

Tried to move the settings icon on my display and now its disappeared. How can i get it back??

You can't delete the settings icon form an iPhone. so it either ended up in a folder with another app, or in another screen.
You'll have to look for it.
You can use Spotlight by swiping down from the middle of the screen, to search for it. If its in a folder, it will tell you which one.

Settings icon

i have deleted the settings icon from my iphone 5. It is still there when I double click the home button. How can I get the icon back?

You've put it into a folder, or on another hom page. Keep looking. It's impossible to delete a pre-installed app.
Or, try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

Settings icon vanished

3GS iPhone, put it in my pocket. When I next pulled it out, the "Settings" icon is gone. Plugged into computer, saw 3.1.3 update available and installed, thinking during the upgrade, the Settings icon would have to be re-whatever so it would be visible. But no. So I restored the software and went through the whole re-sync thing. Still no settings icon. *&^%$ Tried to do the reset (hold Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time) and all it will do is ask if I really want to turn it off. This used to work.
How can it not restore the Settings icon? How is not have a Settings icon even an option? Why can't I reset?

There is no option for deleting the settings icon.
Have you moved it to another home page?

My ipad has lost the Settings icon on main screen?? how do i get it back

My ipad has lost the settings icon on main screen?? how do i get it back? or reset the ipad

Swipe from screen to screen to look for it. It cannot be deleted from the iPad.
You can reset the the home screen layout but that returns the home screen to the original out of the box set up - but it will restore the icon to the home screen.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Lost settings icon on upgrade

I lost my settings icon when I upgraded my new I phone 4. I was not at home, I did not back up on my computer. I do not have any search options. I have checked every folder multiple times, it no longer exists. Is there somewhere online I can reinstall?

Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Lost settings icon

Somehow I inadvertantly deleted my iphone settings icon. I had hoped that it might be restored when I installed the new ios update. But alas, no. Any suggestions for how to restore? Thanks!

If you have iOS 8 or iOS 8.1.1 you can use Spotlight Search to use the Settings app.
Slide you finger fast down the screen after the device is unlocked.
Spotlight Search should come up, Search " Settings"
Settings App should appear. Click on Settings App then navigate to General> Reset> Reset Home Screen Layout

Lost and then found the Settings icon on iPad 2. Can I prevent this?

I just got an iPad2 several weeks ago and love it. Today I discovered that the settings icon was gone from the Home Page. Not on the second page either.
I found some suggestions on this forum (by searching "google" which is much easier and takes you right to the thread you need),that I needed to reset the home page, but not how to do that. I had taken "iPad2 The Missing Manual" out from the Library and was able to easily find how to use spotlight to find the settings and then how to reset the home page from there, and the icon came right back. I couldn't find anything in the User Guide about how to do that. Only the statement that Setting>General has a place where you can choose what you want to reset. I'm glad I had the Missing Manual. Is there somewhere else I should have looked for this? And did I do something to cause it? The only things I am aware of that changed was that I synched the iPad to my mac yesterday and also downloaded the Xfinity Mobile App so that I can get my Comcast emails. If I know why I lost the Settings icon, maybe I can prevent it. If there isn't any reason, I'll just chalk it up as one of those "technical things" and be glad that I know now how to fix it.
Thank you

I don't think that you did anything wrong. Unless you were moving apps around and lost track of what you were putting where - that would be the only thing that you could consciously do to cause the app to move to another screen.
I have the Xfinity mobile app and never lost any app icons. I would simply chalk it up to one of those wierd things that happens from time to time when you sync.
You can download the User Guide as a free book in the iBookstore and the user guide is available as a bookmark in Safari as well. Frankly, I've not seen anything that answers every question that can come up when you are using the iPad. Google has been a great friend to me as well as has this discussion site.
