Most of builtin apps including App store disappeared - Restriction is off

Device: iPhone4S
OS: 7.0.6
Hi,
I was working with my phone and all of the sudden I was not able to open Safari anymore.
I closed all the apps including Safari and tried to reopen the app but no success. I restarted the phone and after that most of my built-in apps and some of other apps, i.e. Facebook disappeared.
To save your time .. I already checked my settings for "Restriction" and also did "Reset Home Screen Layouts" but no success.
When I go to settings, I can see the apps (i.e. Facebook or Notes) are installed.
How can I get the apps back?

Make a backup.  Restore it as new via iTunes.  Update the iOS.  Restore your backup.

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Stoe and sign out and then sign back in
    - Power off and then back on the router.
    - Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    Could just be an Apple problem. So far I have seen another post today with same problem.

  • Wrong language when choosing a preferred language which is not the main UI language in some iOS8 apps (including App Store)

    I've chosen Galician as my preferred language in iOS8. Since the iPhone is not translated to Galician, only the apps which are translated into Galician show up in that language, but the UI shows in Spanish (the second preferred language). Or should it be like that, because some apps (Twitter, Telegram, even the App Store) which have an Spanish translation show up in English. The App Store is even buggier because its fine on my iPad and it used to be OK on my iPhone with these settings, but suddenly it switched to English only in the iPhone. No matter how many times I force quit or reboot the iPhone, wrong language is displayed in some apps.

    I think correct behavior is for apps to use the 2nd language on the list, if they do not have the first but do have the 2nd.  I don't know why some app would do otherwise.

  • All my apps (even App Store!) disappeared (iPad 1 upgrade to ios5).  Most apps show up on laptop but app sync is greyed (no restrictions). I have 2 accounts due to apple email req, but I've loaded apps between my iPhone and iPad before.  iPad now zero.

    I postponed upgrading my iPad 1 because iTunes told me it wasn't homed on my computer.  I tried it on my other computers, all with the same message.  I finally upgraded it from my MacBook after appearing to sync the apps.  When it finished (5.01), all of my apps and data were gone, as well as several stock apps including the App Store itself (although it appears in settings).  Since what seems to be all of my apps (iPad and iPhone) appear in iTunes on my Windows portable, I tried resyncing the iPad there (as its new home).  Restrictions are off, there is plenty of memory, but the app sync screen and app list are greyed out.  Nothing will download to my iPad.
    My original Apple account is under my name.  However, I had to create a second account at some point in the past due to Apple's requirement that the name be an email address, which is my name (identical) at mac.com.  Since both are in my name, it didn't originally occur to me that Apple would consider them as different accounts.  This may have a bearing on what is going on, but I don't think so since I have exchanged apps between iPad and iPhone before.  To check whether this might be related, I tried to change the account name on the iPad (removing @mac.com).  I received a message that if I did so I would have to wait for 90 days to download my apps, which is not satisfactory since my grandchildren and I use the iPad regularly.  And I need it for work.
    I'm assuming that if I could reactivate the App Store I could redownload my purchased apps.  Better yet would be merging both "accounts" into one, if that is the source of the issue.  I appreciate your help and suggestions.

    All I had to do was complain.  I synced my iPhone to the Windows machine, checked the other account at iTunes prompting (where no apps had shown up previously), reconnected the iPad, and 140 apps downloaded including the App Store.  I have no idea why.

    I've suddenly lost multiple apps (including settings, App Store, iTunes, camera, photos etc). How do I get them back?

    Thanks for replies, however...
    Tried turning off/on and hard resetting - didn't work.
    Spotlight search didn't find them either.
    Had about 5 pages of apps - now only have 2 so they're not on another page.
    The settings app is missing too so can't reset through settings.
    They were all there last night but my ipad is almost empty when I picked it up tonight.

  • My iPhone6 plus is missing some of its preloaded apps including the App Store

    My iphone6 plus is missing some of its preloaded apps including the App Store what do I do?
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Check to see if the App Store app is hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' - if it is then turn it 'on' and it should reappear on one of your home screens. Other apps such as Safari, Camera, FaceTime can also be hidden via Resrictions.

  • IOS 7 crashes when using notification center on iPhone 5, made App Store disappear on 4s (though still available in search)

    when using notification center on iPhone 5, made App Store disappear on 4s (though still available in search). Crashes in app and in home screen. 7 crashes today.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
    Also consider deleting and reinstalling the Mail Account in question.

  • Cannot install on iPhone 5 several Apps from the store, BUY/FREE blue button disappeared

    Cannot install on iPhone 5 several Apps from the store, BUY/FREE blue button disappeared.
    Already tried to restore to factory settings, no luck. Same Apps on another iphone can be installed without problems.
    Any idea what is causing it?

    Try this, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. If they don't download at least the timer should stop.

  • My App Store Disappeared

    I was fiddling with my settings and clicked restrictions, put a number and then my app store disappeared, and the worst is that I forgot my password. Help me!

    Without the password, the only option available to you is to restore the phone as a new device.

  • Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    Restore new iPad Mini from iPad 1 backup. Ican update new apps from Apple store but most of my apps have been showing the Waiting status for over 12 hours. Store shows them as installed. What gives?

    If the downloads are stalled or "waiting" - try these suggestions.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

  • I have an ipad and several apps, including free and purchased ones. How do I get all my apps from the ipad to the iphone5, this is what icloud is supposed to do. But only did for 5 apps

    I have purchased quite a few apps, including pages, paper (plus accesories) and keynote, the most expensive ones. Also some games, books, photo editors and others. Icloud is activated in both devices but only very few apps were passes into my new iphone. I know that some apps are not compatible with all the devices but a lot of them are. What do I do? I dont have to buy pages and keynote again do I? That would be an absolute crime and would make icloud uselles! Also, isn´t it supposed to save all my recently taken pictures in icloud and then downoad them into my ipad or iphone, or viceversa? An automatically, daily. Help please, I dont intend to buy everything again.

    iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.
