Neat little spooky "Home" icon gone missing on iPhone.  Anyone know about it?

I've had a neat little icon that can be moved around on my Home Page that will take me home at a flick, as well as take me other places I might choose.  It was a dark circle with a lighter circle in the center and could be moved anywhere on the face of the iPhone.  It was present on all pages and was a real boon.  Does anyone know what it is called and how I can get it back?
Thanks in advance.   ....goldie

Thank you so much Mr. Allen Sampson for your prompt and acurate response!  That is what I was looking for.  I really do like it even though it's like a little puppy dog always getting under foot.

    I'd maybe try doing a search for Safari on your iPad first (swipe to the left to search). If it shows up in that search you can go to Settings > General > Reset and choose 'reset home screen layout' which will put it back where it would be by default.
    All else fails? Restore it.

  • Phone  icon  gone missing

    My granddaughter was playing with my phone and   now my   green icon for the phone is  gone missing... I know it says you cannot  delete it, but there are only  3  icons on the  bottom  row now... HELP...

    It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, the most common folder is one called utilities.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Recently I was adding music to my Ipod Touch and charging it, afterwards, my Itunes was missing music, does anyone know what happend?

    A few days ago, I plugged my ipod touch into my computer to charge it, and also add new music I purchased. When I unplugged the USB cable ( I disconnected it from the ipod first, as I was told to do) I went to look through my music. There was a notification, I don't remember what it said verbatum, but the gist was "177 songs could not be properly synced onto your device". Now, I'm missing music from my itunes library. For example, I purchased two full albums from the same band, now over half the songs from the albums are just gone, they are no longer on my ipod or itunes. Does anyone know what happend, and/or how I can fix this? Please and thank you
    P.S. This happend after installing itunes 6, I've noticed many other people are also having problems with it as well

    Could be several things. Without more information like what was the wording of the error message I will not even guess.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store         

  • The home button is not working, does anyone know how to fix it?

    how can I make the home button work?

    I do not know with a iP4. But with iPhone 3G and 3GS, the Home Button circuitry that is used for a typical press to return to Home Screen is different than used to Reset, Enter Recovery, or DFU. So a Reset could still help. Anyway along the lines of your thinking, it would still be better to Restart the iPhone, here you would just be using the Power button. The Restart could even get the Home button to respond again. So the best advice maybe for any iPhone problem would be as often stated on this Forum.....
    Restart, Reset, Restore and then last resort before throwing iPhone in trash, DFU Restore.

  • I have a macbook unibody. the dvd driver cannot pull in a cd and when i ma pushing it a little more it pushes it out! does anyone knows what is wrong? or how can i fix it?

    hi everyone!
    i have a macbook unibody and when i put a cd on the dick driver in it doesnt pull it , but when i push it in a little more it push it out!
    does anyone knoes what is wrong? or how can i fix it?
    thnx

    I'm not sure about your question, it's seems somewhat unclear, but if the above command doesn't work another you can try is using the diskutil command as follows:
    "diskutil list"
    or
    "df -h"
    (without "" quotes)
    find where the cd is (usually /dev/disk1 but not always depending on what else you have pluged in)
    then simply use the 'diskutil' command with the 'eject' argument specifying the device found from the previous command '/dev/disk1'(or what ever your optical is labeled as).
    If this isn't your question, I have a macbook unibody late 2009 model and the strangest thing happends, If I downgrade to 10.6.1 my optical drive works fine anything 10.6.8 and above ejects my disk immediately, I have also tested my optical drive out on other OS's such as various linux distro's.  Therefore I have come to the conclusion its a bug. - just food for thought. Hope some of this helps

  • I cannot download apps throught the search bar on my iphone home screen....does anyone know how

    Does anyone know how i can make it so that i can download apps throught the search bar on my home screen?

    You are full of surprises.
    That search bar is for searching your iPhone, not the App Store.  Use the App Store app to search for, purchase and download apps.

  • Airplay icon gone missing

    Hi, only got my iPad 2 yesterday and have set it up along with our new Apple TV (2nd Gen). Am having a few probs but the main one being that the little airplay icon thingy that used to come up when I play a movie has disappeared. I also followed the instructions about pressing the home button twice and then swiping to the right, but this just brings up the play button etc for music/movie. Can anybody help...am desperate to sort out airplay and mirroring.
    Thanks

    I will save you the trouble!
    I had the same problem and went in to apple it worked fine there!
    They told me that they had to reset all there routers because of the new OS iOS 5.
    That worked for me but if that dosent work you have to restore it or take it into apple.

  • App store icon gone missing/Web Content Filter - Apple Configurator

    I am using Apple Configurator to manage the iPads at my school. I changed the settings on my school's profile, within Apple Configurator, so that the App store was not available. The App store icon disappeared and all was good. I decided to change the settings back, to allow the App store, saved the settings and refreshed a group of iPads. The App store icon is still missing and it doesn't appear that my new settings have been applied. I quit Configurator and tried again, but no success. I am running Configurator 1.5 and the ipads are running iOS 7.1.
    Also, I have unchecked the "Allow use of You Tube" button because I want You Tube disabled, but Configurator still allows the use of You Tube through Safari. Is there any way to disable the use of You Tube without using the ridiculous "Web Content Filter", that when activated, limits adult content (good), which seems to include a lot of valuable educational sites (bad)? To me the only other option available seems to be to tick "Specific Websites Only" and spend the next year typing in all the possible sites that might have educational merit, ergo, my use of the word 'ridiculous'. Is there something I am missing?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

  • TS5181 Why is iTunes Radio icon gone from my iPhone 5?

    When opening music app, iTunes Radio is not visible? Why?

    What country are you in ? It's currently only available in the US - if you are in the US then try logging out and back into your account by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store, and if that doesn't get it to appear then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A little more info would help, such as do you have a PC or Mac ?
    What is your computer OS ?
    Assuming you have a PC, go to Control Panel, Device Manager, see if there are any yellow exclamation marks.
    If there are click the + to expand, right click the driver and choose update.
    If that does not work you can try these:  https://swdownloads.blackberry.com/Downloads/contactFormPreload.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB06...
    But I do think you may have some conflict on your computer.
    Are there any other issues with your computer ?

  • I used to be able to pull photos from my iphone into my itunes but something has changed. I dont remember how I did it before but I think an option is missing. Does anyone know what the process was for moving pics from your iphone to your itunes?

    I cant download the new iTunes soflware on my PC because I have not yet been able to sync my photos from my phone to my itunes. If I update to the new software on my pc, for some reason I can't then update my phone software. What Ive had to do the past few times is go the the Apple Store and have them load the new iTunes on my phone for me but then that means I lose all my pics. I dont remember how I used to get my photos from my phone to my itunes but i know i used to be able to. I think I lost some of my options. Does anyone know what this could be?  PS: I have the iphone 3g and Windows XP on my PC
