My magnifier (the magnifying glass icon) has disappeared. How do I restore it?

I am trying to get rid of a program I accidentally downloaded. The instructions say to click on the magnifier to begin. Well, it was there but now it is gone. How do I get it back?

Sorry, did not know it wanted money. There are many free mal-ware scans,
but like that one, some of then want money.
As to the downloads, I wrote this some time ago;
It’s very sad, but many of the software down-loaders / installers will trick you
into installing not only their program, '''but other programs as well'''.
You have heard of the '''fine print in shady contracts''', right? Well, some
installers you need to look at the '''itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print'''.
You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program
you want by using the '''recommended''' option. But if you use the
'''Manual Option Instead''', you discover all kinds of stuff that
'''you do not even know what it is or what it does'''. From now on,
everyone needs to '''Use The Manual Option''' to put a stop to this.

App store Icon has disappeared, how do I get it back?

The App store Icon has disappeared off my iPhone 4, hence have no access to download apps direct from the phone or see if any need updating. Anyone got any bright ideas how I can get the icon back ?

I had the same problem and tried both of the suggestions listed above. The "Reset" idea did not work. The problem was instead in the "Restrictions." I had to "Allow" "Installing Apps." I don't know how I disallowed that in the first place, but for me, this was the solution. Thanks!

The Safari web address bar has disappeared, how do I get it back?

Thanks Roger I can now see the name of the website and if I right click on the name it shows me the web address. I used to be able to see the web address e.g. "https//google.co.uk" in this bar without having to right click on the name, is there a way of bringing this back?

Do you have Time Machine enabled. If so, go back through your previous months until it features in your Application folder. Then restore.

The Home share icon has disappeared

I Have had apple TV for a week now, yesterday the home share icon dissapeared from the top of the page on my MAC air. I can stream Music and share photo's with Pioneer TV but cannot share anything viewd on my Mac. Apple tv is otherwise working fine ? Any help appreciated.

Hi oggy60,
I recommend checking out this article of troubleshooting steps for when the AirPlay icon is missing:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4215
The icon will only appear if your device or computer is logged onto a Wi-Fi network which has an AirPlay-enabled recipient, such as Apple TV (2nd generation or 3rd generation).
If you are still unable to see the AirPlay icon, try one of the following steps:
Verify that your AirPlay-enabled devices have the most up-to-date software or firmware.
Verify that your iOS device has Wi-Fi turned on. Enable Wi-Fi on your iOS device by going to Settings > Wi-Fi.
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are logged on to the same home Wi-Fi network (check the home network names on your devices to confirm).
If trying to AirPlay, or AirPlay mirror, to your Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), ensure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV as well. You can enable or disable AirPlay on Apple TV in the AirPlay menu: Settings > AirPlay
Check Internet or network connectivity on all affected devices.
Temporarily disable firewalls (both network and local) and security software. Security software and firewalls may block ports that AirPlay uses to stream content. You can often resolve issues with security software by updating, correctly configuring, or uninstalling security software.
If attempting to use AirPlay from a third-party app or a website from your Safari app on your iOS device, confirm that the app or website is AirPlay compatible (refer to the developers of the app or website for additional information).
I hope this helps!

HT1212 I have a first generation Ipad. the App Store icon has disappeared from my homescreen. I have tried everything that is recommended and nothing works. One of the steps asks me to enter a passcode that I have never set up. ??? how to fix?

How do you retrieve the App Store Icon on a first generation ipad?

If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps being set 'off' ? Is that the passcode that you are referring to, for the Restrictions screen ?
If it is and you don't know what it is then could anybody else have set it, and do you know if it was on the iPad when you last backed up ? If it wasn't then you can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when you last backed up and you don't know what it is then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and you can then re-sync your content back to the iPad - you won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.

Virtual PC 7 hid the mac desktop icons in Windows--how do you restore this?

Hi there...hoping someone knows where one would be able to restore this setting this as I'm unable to locate anything through the preferences nor find any solutions in the user guide or online here in the group discussions.
I have a client who is using an ibook G4 with VPC and her Mac icons disppeared from the Windows desktop after a popup window appeared and asked if she wanted to hide something and she accidentally clicked yes now the Mac icons are no longer visible on the desktop.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi there...thank you for the excellent help!
With the Windows full-screen open press the command
key so that the dock and the upper window will show
up. Then, with the key still pressed, go to PC >
Windowed mode.

My contact list has disappeared. how do I restore it from a past backup?

My contact list on my iPod touch just disappeared today... for no reason that I can figure out. No other apps seem to have been affected.
I tried sync-ing to my computer, but that didn't change anything.
I would like to find out if I can get ahold of the old contact list (from the previous sync, which was a couple months ago, I think); AND, do I have to go back to that version of everything on my iPod, or can I just grab the contact list only and put it back on my iPod?
I am okay with doing some computer-y things on my own (for example, updating the operating system a while back), but I do not have a lot of self-confidence about these sorts of things, so if you do have an idea about how to fix this, I'll need step-by-step instructions (rather than a general "go back to your old backup" sort of thing).
Thanks!

That's perfectly OK . . .
We're all just other Mac users here, helping each other find solutions.
We'll all be here when you're rested and ready.
