My App store and itunes has disappeared from my iphone

My app store and itunes apps have disappeared from my iphone.
I suspect Apple is responsible and is trying to force an upgrade. Does anyone know if this is true? because if it is we should object to this.
The upgrade on my ipad was such a horrible experience, I don't want to do it to upgrade my iphone. (Upgrades have been a nightmare every since the itunes interface was changed. In my view, iTunes is the now one of the most unintuitive interface imaginable - [bar windows 8]. Prior to that it was generally easy to do upgrades and backups without hiccups and the interface was great. Now its too obscure to find what you need to do.)
I have been an Apple fan since the original Apple computer - but am not very happy with recent changes that affect use-ability and reliability.
General grumbling aside - every time you upgrade, you have to reload all of your apps; and a lot of favorite apps won't work with the new system. That's another reason I don't want to upgrade.
Without the App and iTunes application - you can't selectively update the apps you want to update or even access your music.
Questions:
1. Does anyone know why the Apps and iTunes apps disappeared? (I'm not the only one complaining about this.)
2. Does anyone know how to get them back without having to effectively erase your phone and start over?
3. Does anyone know how to get iTunes on the computer to recognize your iiphone when the itunes app disappeared off it?
Thank you.

Hi Dahveed,
Thank you again for the advice. But, rebooting did not help.
In the end I was forced to upgrade.
I am relieved to say that this upgrade went very smoothly compared to other upgrades.
I did not have to re-download apps and they appear to be in their normal folders - except a new app page 2 (after the primary page) appeared containing only the missing apps. This was not there before.
Answer to the disappearing Apple App Store and iTunes Dilemma:
The answer to this problem unfortunately appears to be to upgrade the system.
In my experience the Apps (which presumably are removed to force the user into an upgrade) then re-appear.
On the positive side, at least on this occasion, it did not turn out to be a nightmare make work project.

    Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

  • How can I get my app store and itunes to work in my iphone without dumping everything?

    I have already dumped my phone twice to get itunes and the app store to work and it only lasts for a small time.  I don't want to dump all my info again and then get everything back to what it should be just to have the stores go down again.  Every time this happens some of my other apps don't work like they are suppose to work.  When I try to ask for help from "professionals" I am treated like no one knows what I am talking about, but every other person I know that has an apple product is having the same issue.  I don't know why it is not being fixed and why I am having to dump everything once or twice a week to keep my ipod and iphone working properly.  You have to dump everything and not restore from back up to get it work.  This is becoming completely unacceptable.  If anyone knows any tricks at all please let me know. (And I have tried the deauthorizing and reauthorizing stuff... it will only let deauthorizing and will not let me sign back in) Thanks.

    You get the develop module to function properly by installing the standalone installation of Lightroom. If the develop module is disabled you still have the creative cloud installation. It will have to be removed. You can download from here:
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows : Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.7.1
    Performing this uninstall/reinstall will have no impact on your images or the work you have done in Lightroom. The catalog and your images are left intact.

  • Hi, I just bought a new iphone 5c. I 'had' the safari, app store and itunes available, they dissappeared from the phone and now i cannot download any cool games or even browse the internet. How can I get them back?

    I would really like to download apps however this isn't possible as safari, app store and itunes are deleted from my homescreen? Where can I go about installing them to the phone again a.s.a.p??

    Check Settings > General > Restrictions on Safari, iTunes, etc.

  • My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone?  Help!

    My itunes app has disappeared from my iphone and also my app store icon.  How do I get them back?  I have reset the home page 4 times and they do not come back.

    If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen, then are they hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps and iTunes being set 'off' ?

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • TS1702 My purchased Draw Something App has disappeared from my iPhone, how do I get it back and will I have lost my points and current game?

    I have been using my draw something app for about a year and a half and suddenly it has disappeared from my iPhone.  What do i do now? I had loads of points and was up to about 30 on my latest game so if I download the app again will I go back to the start.

    Does a spotlight search on the device indicate the app is installed?
    Is the app selected to sync in iTunes?

  • How do I remove my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?

    Before I sold my friend my old iMac, I used the Migration Assistant to transfer all her files from her MacBook Pro to the iMac. I then deleted all my files. My old iMac and her MacBook Pro were both upgrated to Mavericks before the Migration.
    Now, she is being prompted to download and install the updates for Numbers and Pages on what used to be my iMac, but the App Store displays my account identification and asks for my password.
    (1) How can I delete my old iMac from my App Store and iTunes Store accounts?
    (2) How can she access the App Store and iTunes Store using her own accounts?
    Thanks in advance.

    That isn't how to prepare a Mac to sell or give away. You should deauthorize your iTunes account on the Mac. Call Apple Care and have the Mac disassociated from your Apple ID. Then erase the Mac and install the latest version of OS X that shipped installed on the Mac using the Install DVD or OS X Recovery, depending on what version shipped on the Mac. Until you do this, the Mac, OS X and the iLife apps belong to you. She will need to buy the iWork apps for herself, using her own account. You cannot pass any apps that you bought on to her, that would be piracy.

  • HT1222 I got disconnected after the release of the last update! I'm disconnected only from the app store and itunes. Do i have to update to activate my account? What to do, i'm stuck.

    Have you restarted your phone?
    If so, try a reset. Press and hold the home & sleep/wake buttons until the screen goes blank, ignoring the power off slider if it comes up.
    Check for the app again after the phone starts back up.

  • App store and iTunes authentication fails on WiFi

    I have an iPhone 3G with a strange issue, if try and add an application from the App Store or song from iTunes using the WiFi connection on my wireless network at home (i also have a ipod touch that wooks fine on the same connection), it fails with an authentication error after 2 minutes or so. If I try the same thing o a 3G connection both the app store and iTunes work fine.
    I have tried to restore the iPhone and this has not made any difference, I have also tried reauthorising my vista PC with the latest version of iTunes.

  • Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my iPad 2?

    Can someone tell me how to restore my App Store and iTunes Apps on my ipad 2?

    If you had a backup either in iTunes or iCloud of the iPad you can restore from it by following this article:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If not you can go into the Purchased section of the App Store App, and download your Purchased Apps from there for free. However their data will not be restored.
