My settings icon is not showing on my iphone - how do I get it back?
My settings icon is not showing on my phone-how can u get it back?
Hello there MegWilliams,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to find the Settings app to configure your device.
First I would try searching the device using Spotlight.
You can also use Spotlight Search to find and open apps.
Choose which apps and content are searched. Go to Settings > General > Spotlight Search. You can also change the search order.

If you are unable to locate it there, I would attempt backing up your device to iTunes, then restore your device.

All the very best,

If my iPhone 5 got stolen, and I was not on find my iPhone, how do I get it back/detect where it is?
When we tried to log in my Apple ID, just to make sure if I wasn't on find my iPhone, I discovered that my apple ID password was re-set. I want to find out who did it or where it was done. I also want to know if I can get it back - because when using an iPhone, there's a registry in the beginning right? So my product code or serial number must pop up again in a different name. Right?
It does make a difference, check here:

Some albums I put on my Mac to later sync with a Touch appears as seperate tracks and not a single album. How do I get them back together again other than a playlist. I do not want the tracks showing up as albums on the Touch?
Are your tracks pat of a collection? Different artists, but still one album? Then mark them a s acollection or set the album artist. See this guide on how to group separate tracks into albums:

i got a new lenovo desktop windows 8.1,installed itunes and synced my iphone 4 no problems. then i imported a cd of songs which showed up in recently added but not in main library ,therefore it did not sync to the iphone. how can i get new songs to appear in the main library and sync properly
thanks
johnCheck the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

I updated my phone and all my music, including rigntones went away. I was able to recover my songs under purchased. My ringtones are not showing under purcahsed. How do I get my ringtones back?
I don't understand this answer. What do you mean " your contacts should be in whatever program/service you have selected to sync."? The address book is created on the phone not in Itunes or any other program/service. When Itunes says backing up phone I have to assume it backs up everything on the phone. Most of what's on my phone does not come out of itunes. I download apps directly on the phone. When the software updates it does not bring those apps back. I have to go into the appstore and install them all over again. Itunes music library syncs with whatever is on the device your linked up to BUT the phone book just dissappears after you update the phone. There is no way to save it anywhere else.

Thanks in advance~Head to Settings -> Home Screen and make sure the AudioBooks icon is enabled. If it's not there, this is a sign that there are no audiobooks on your iPod.

I have just updated to IOS 7.04 and my mail, calendar and notes are now blank. How do I get it back?
it sounds like you were using iCloud. Go under Settings > iCloud and make sure the switch for Notes is ON (green side showing). If it's already on, turn it off, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on. Your notes should sync up.

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 home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?
My home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?
Try a restart. If the problem is the same, try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command
and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Relaunch Finder (command - option - esc) and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible. -

i bought some ringtones on my iPhone, later on i sync my iphone to my old computer now i have a new mac pro desktop and i only have 2 ringtones on my phone but not the rest of them how can i get them back without having to pay for them again?
If you bought them on your iPad then you will need to connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over to the Tones part of your computer's iTunes library and you can then sync them to your iPhone - ringtones are a one-time only download, so you won't be able to redownload them directly on your phone.
