Lost safari, appstore icons & apps!!!

i updated my iphone 3gs last week, and once done, i found that i only had the phone, mail and ipod icons at the bottom - the safari icon was gone. i tried loading via links on facebook but still couldn't. not only that, the appstore icon was gone as well.
when i went to the apple retailer, they told me the solution was to restore the phone's settings. this i did this morning, but after doing so, both icons are still gone, and what's more, all the apps i had previously bought and uploaded are gone, replaced by the game center. i went to the apps portion in itunes and to this page - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702 and followed everything to the letter, but now i have to re-buy my old apps.
please help!

You don't have to re-buy anything. Go to the apps you are missing in iTunes store. click on the purchase button. It will tell you that you already purchased it, do you wish to download again. Select yes.
You will not be billed for the app.
Remember, this is NOT the case for anything else (movies, TV, music etc).

I restored my iphone 5 and lost safari and the app store... please help!

First, check your restrictions and make sure they didn't end up restricted.
If not, look around on the screen and in folders.

Lost my Camera icon app

Hello. Need some help. Somehow I lost the Camera icon and already did the following:
Restored Settings
Review restricted status (unblocked)
Double tab the Home button
And nothing :(
Another suggestion you may have??

Hi Jazzyjaz,
First go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout
If that doesn't work:
Reset your device. Hold down the Home and Sleep buttons at the same time until the silver Apple appears on the screen (ignore the red slider bar if it appears).
If that doesn't make it show up, do a spotlight search - swipe to the right from the first Home screen, and type Camera in the search window - that will show you that it is there somewhere. Go through all of your home screen pages - it should show up on one of them (may have gotten moved accidently).
You can't actually delete it, so it is just a matter of finding out where it went!
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
GB

TS1702 after upgrading my 4s to iOS6, my iTunes and AppStore icon apps disappeared? how can I download them again?

How can I re-download the iTunes and AppStore apps?

Hi & sorry to butt in it's just that I've got a similar problem with my iPhone4S, only my Restrictions are set to "OFF!" with a pass code barring & cannot remember password to turn them "ON" I can't afford to start my iPhone to an afresh state because my contacts etc are a valued part of my own run business,I would rather have "no Apps" than "no contacts" Please could u tell me...if I try your theory of: Settings > General > Reset Home Screen Layout...Would this return my Apps badge or not? or would I risk losing something else by doing so? Thats if any of the above options are at all possible with the restriction settings & forgotten code my iPhone possesses
kind regards
Ællis.

I lost safari

I lost safari and the app store on my iphone 4, how to get them back?

I had the same problem too so just as well I searched before I put in a request for Help!
Thanks everybody for your tips which allowed me to solve the problem.
The full path (IOS5) is - Settings --> General --> Restriction --> then enter your passcode and turn on Safari

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.

My iphone4 lost the camera and app store icon.

1. my iphone4 lost the camera and app store icon. how can i get it back?
2. i try to restore the phone through the itunes. but it showed that there is a connection error (with the internet?!!)

i found this from the site:
Exchange 2007 has active sync policies. One of the options is to disallow the camera.
To resolve the problem do the following.
1) Open Exchange Management Console
2) Click "Organization Configuration"
3) Click "Client Access"
4) On the right you should see your active sync policies. Right click the policy and chose "Properties"
5) Click the "Device" tab
6) Check "Allow camera"
but what is Exchange 2007? i think i am not using it...

My iPhone 4 has lost safari and App Store , how do I retrieve

Can someone help me, as my iPhone 4 has lost Safari and App Store, how do I retrieve?

They have not. He probably moved them by mistake to another Home page or put it in a folder.
Try Settings>>General>>Reset>>>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Aim using an ipad version 7.0.4 on using yahoo thru safari or yahoo app I cannot attach documents as icon unseen

Iam using an ipad version 7.0.4 and when using yahoo mail thru safari or yahoo app iam unable to see icon for attachment,,,,it only shows add picture....pls can someone help...I even changed to desktop version but to no avail

I`m `propping` up this thread to to the top of the forums again as it`s been three months and not a single community member or Apple support personnel have replied, which I find discouraging.
I`ve tried everything - both the iOS device(s) and Apple TV have been upgraded (albeit reluctantly) to the latest versions, since iOS 7 looks like crap compared to iOS 6. Both use the same WiFi network. Bluetooth is set to `off`, as per the online tutorials on the Apple Support page.
I also tried shutting all of them down, including the router, waiting 30 seconds and turning the router, then the Apple TV then the iOS device on sequentially with 30 seconds in between each, again as per this discussion forum, and still nothing.
Why can Apple not make a technology, such as AirPlay, work with greater than 10%?
Any other ideas?
Come on, people.
Thanks,
Doug

I have lost my camera icon and my app store icon. I have tried to reset and even tried to restore factory settings...no luck. Restrictions have been turned on, but I do not have the passcode. Any suggestions??

I have gone through the router reset for home network, Router reset at work. Restarted my personal hotspot on my iPhone that is running the same IOS.
I have performed the Network settings reset on the iPad.
I have performed a hard reboot on the iPad, (Home button and power button until logo appears)
Also I had to update the Apple driver on my laptop for iTunes to see my iPad after I had updated iTunes, I'm not sure if I lost wifi after I updated the iPad IOS or updating iTunes.

I have completely lost Safari on one of my accounts. Using finder I can find bookmarks and history...but don't have the app. Any thoughts?

Have you tried looking for it with Spotlight? You can also download it from Apple's support site, just keep a copy of you bookmarks and then import them once Safari is installed.

There are 2 updates displayed in Appstore icon, but after open app store, in update page, no app display

Today it displayed as 3 updates avaliable in Appstore icon, after open store and click update, nothing. but the number 3 kept in icon.

Have you just recently installed GarageBand '11?
This instalation downloads in two parts - first the basic application, and when you try to use an item that is not yet installed, GarageBand will try to download and install the missing instruments and loops from the AppStore. I am not sure at all, if this update will work, since there is now a newer GarageBand version at the AppStore.
But try the usual fixes and then let us please know, if it is still possible.
First, make sure, that you accepted GarageBand to your AppleID - sign into the AppStore and check the Purchased page of the App Store, if there is an "Accept" beside the GarageBand '11 version. If yes, accept. Try the update again.
If it does not work, try the manual update: see mteep's post: Re: GarageBand '11 won't download additional loops

Safari dock icon reverted to generic app icon after 7.0.6 update

Hi
Since the 7.0.6 update, Safari has the generic Applications icon in the dock, not the Safari icon. This is also true of the software application in the Applications folder. I've tried restarting my Mac, and removing the dock icon and putting it back. I'll try deleting and re-downloading Safari from the App Store if no-one has any other ideas.
I've had this problem with a 3rd party app (1password) and got very snippy with the AgileBits support lady about it, but now it's happened with an apple native app I'm guessing this is Mavericks?
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Fixed it. Repaired disk permissions then restarted.
