My iphone 4 has started deleting apps and app store won't let me redownload them!

A week or so ago, my iphone deleted a photo editing app, and as I went to redownload it, it gave me the option to open the app (which was not on my phone), but not to reinstall it. it did the same thing with a music app the next day. now it's at the point that I cannot download any app; deleted or new. does anyone know how to fix this?

If the open button actually opens the app, but you do not see that app on any of the home screens, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
If it does not open the App or if you still cannot find the app, go to Settings > General > Usage.  Locate the App on the list and delete the app.  Then you can re-download it from the App Store.

  • IPad app store won't display certain apps, and itunes store won't display any searches at all

    Hi. My problem started when instagram won't open bc it says I have an old version, but everytime I checked the "updates" in the app store, instagram doesn't appear. So I deleted it. Now no matter how I search on my iPad for instagram and other certain apps (like 8tracks), they won't appear in the search results! Even when I try to download the apps via the iTunes store, nothing I search on iTunes ever displays. It just loads and stops halfway. I've tried downloading a new iTunes and restoring my iPad but nothing works. Can anyone help me please?

  • I can't remember my security question answers, and my account won't let me reset them either. Please help!

    I just received my new iPad, and I've been buying songs and apps with no problems until iTunes asked me my security questions... I totally forgot the answers! I've already reset my password, and that didn't help. I also tried adding a new email address and that didn't help either. Can anyone help?

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

  • HT201272 For some reason tune purchases have vanished from my computer and ipod, i checked my purchases and it thinks they are on the computer and won't let me redownload them. What do I do?

    So i puty my Ipod in to charge a few weeks back and then the next time I went to use it I found a bunch of songs missig so I plugged it back in and found Itunes still listed but when I click on them it says it can't find them. I brought up my purchases on Itunes and it says they are on my computer and downloaded, won't let me re-download. How do I fix it? I really don't want to have to buy them all again or something.  And why is this whiole thing so slow?

    Also consider using vlc as the player which can handle a wide range of video formats as well.

  • My iphone has a black screen and the reset won't work. What else can I do?

    Today my phone screen went completely dark and all I could see were some faint vertical lines. It's on as it's still receiving messages but I can't access or see anything.
    Based on other similar questions, the answer seems to be to hold the on/off and home buttons together until something shows but nothing has happened after a few attempts of holding it for a while. Do I have any other options or do I need to go into a store?
    Thanks

  • My iPhone 5 keeps restarting! And now it won't let me restore my phone!

    My iPhone would freeze then restart itself from time to time, but now it's been happening every few minutes! And now, my phone can't even be restored from iTunes! I am quite angry because I payed a lot of money to buy my phone factory unlocked, and it is having problems on me! I've never even dropped my iPhone. It's really upsetting spending hundreds of dollars on a phone that has many problems.

  • TS1702 I have an app that appears to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?

    I have an app that appeared to need to be updated. I clicked to update three days ago. It has started to update and will not finish. How can I delete the app while its in the middle of updating?

    Locked on an update can mean a couple of different things. So there are a number of things to try, but start with these.
    If you have a "waiting" icon, try tapping on the icon and see if you can pause the update/download. Of it pauses, tap on it again and see if it will resume.
    Try holding down on the icon until all of the icons on the screen wiggle. If the X to delete pops up on the waiting/stalled app -  tap the X to delete the app. Tao,the home button and the apps will stop wiggling.
    You can also try this and see if the downloads will resume. 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%.

    My iPhone 3Gs has started crashing when using apps once the battery gets down to around 80%. Sometimes it will reboot on its own, and other times you have to leave it for an hour or so and then manually turn the phone on again. Any ideas?

    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?
