Lost phone, message, settings, safari icons

My grandbaby was playing games on my phone. She is 3 years-old so I can't ask her what she did. When I got it back from her, the phone did not have all my icons listed. Now I can't make phone calls, send texts, surf the net because I can't see the icons. Plus other icons are missing. What do I do to fix this problems? My phone is now useless.

You cannot delete the apps that come standard on iphone.
Have you checked other pages?
You can check restrictions as well.
Or reset screen layout.

How do I remove the "Lost Phone" message from my IPhone4?

I recently upgraded my IPhone 4 to an IPhone 5c. In the process my old IPhone 4 was deactivated, by using the "Find My Phone" Icon. All is fine now, except that there is a message remains that states, "My IPhone is lost, please call (XXX) XXX-XXXX, which is of course my phone number. The question is how can I removed that message? Please note that that the IPhone 4 has already been erased and removed from my device list, on ICloud.
I would like to now dispose of my old phone, but do not want to leave my telephone number on it. Any assistance would be appreciated.

My phone message settings app are missing

how do i get them back??

I have the same problem. I have no contacts icon in utilities, no + in my address book, and if I happen to hit the group button, the phone goes to the group page (in contacts) and there is no button to get out of it, the page locks and I have to turn my phone off and on everytime to get out of it. Now Apple wants to charge me $30. for tech support when it was their fault. My phone was fine until I updated in on a MAC I might add. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? I can't add any new addresses to my contacts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't tried the calendar yet, but that could be the last straw.

TS1398 my 3rd generation ipod touch recently lost wifi capabilities. I reset the network settings... this did not help. I did a complete reset, I now no longer have the Safari icon on my itouch. Has Apple removed wifi on older models to force new purcha

I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch. I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset. This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out. Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated

This problem?
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

Lost icon for Settings, Safari and Email

I have lost the icons for the following, and probably more. Settings, Safari and email.
I have done what might be called a "hard reset" by holding down both buttons at the same time.
I cannot use iTunes to restore, as it will not allow me to do so.
I have looked in every icon that holds a few programs, and the lost icons are not there.
I understand that scrolling will help find the settings icon, because it is there somewhere, but I have scrolled ad nauseum, and it isn't there.
I don't mind wiping it, but don't know how to do it. This is on the original iPad.

I am not sure I can offer any more help. It seems very odd that you can't find the installed icons anywhere. Just to make sure, you did not see anything in the task bar when you swiped through it? Did you have a search page and what happened when you tried to search for 'settings'. When I try that in my ipad, I will get a listing for my settings icon that I can tap and it will take me to settings.

I have just started using the i phone 5 and have lost the Safari icon it was there now its gone ! any ideas guys

Hi
You might have swiped it into another icon by error if you were moving things around. You can find these easily as they have a black background.
Also, to see if you rae running an active Safari, double click on your bottom button and all of the active applicatiosn will come up. You can scroll through these to see if Safari is running (and not lost).
Cheers

HT201401 Lost the Safari icon on my phone.

The Safari icon has vanished from my iphone screen. Where is it?

Check if under the General tab in the settingsa app, if you have restrictions on. If so check if it turned off Safari, if so problem solved. But if not the first thing I would then try would be to hold the home and lock button down for about 20 seconds, allowing the phone to restart, and then see if the icon comes back

My Safari icon/app is missing. I How do i get it back? I try settings - general - restrictions - safari - off / on but doesn't work

First, it might be you simply put Safari in a folder somewhere. Try searching for it using Spotlight. Drag down on the screen to display the Spotlight search bar and type "Safari". If you see Safari, it is still accessible on your iPad. If not, try the following.
Reset your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.
Finally, if that doesn't help, try turning off restrictions, then turning them back on.

You turn private browsing off on the Safari page. Tap the + sign in the upper right corner, then tap private in the lower left corner. You know you're in private when the top of the screen is dark.

2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID. Just got iPad mini, want to use iMessage with my phone number, but iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to default to other number?

Hi guys, so we have 2 iPhones in my house, both on the same Apple ID so that my mum and I can share everything. I have just got an iPad mini, and would like to use iMessage on it with my phone number, but the iPad only picks up other more recently added number (not mine, my mums) when I go to message settings. Is there a way to make the iPad default to other number?

Hello Todd:
I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
I hope that this works for you, Todd! ~ Brian

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. Lost everything I put on it this weekend (including ALL my pics). Is there any way to unsync it so I can get all of that back?

I got a new iphone- went to sync with itunes just to get music and it restored my phone to my old phone's settings. lost everything including ALL of my pictures. Is there any way to unsync my phone so I can get everything back?!!! please say yes!!!!

In short. No, you cannot unsync. If you had a back up from your old iPhone you cand restore from a back up.
In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Devices > and select the latest back up.
Before you synced your phone did you have it set up with the PhotoStream or iCloud? The pictures would be saved there. Or if you had them sync to a file on your computer.

I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room, when i recently updated my new iPhone it has backed up to my old iPhone and I have therefore lost pictures, messages etc from my new phone how can I get it all back?

I have a new iPhone and have kept my old one to play music in another room. I have recently updated my software on the new iPhone and when it backed up it backed up to the old iPhone, I have therefore lost pictures, messages and apps from my new iPhone as it has backed up to the last session of the old phone, how can I get all my new stuff back and stop it from happening again?

No such thing has occurred. iPhones do not backup to one another.
It is not possible to backup a different iPhone from the one being updated.
If the iPhone was restored with a backup from a different device, restore it again from the correct backup.

Pay attention when restoring the iPhone and select the correct backup to restore from.
