No icons on bottom of home screen just grey bar.

I just installed the latest software, backed up and totally restored my ipod touch and there is no icons on the very bottom of the homescreen. Where there used to be Music, Photos, Videos and Itunes it is just a grey bar. How can I rectify this?

Does that happen after you double click the Home button? After you double click it the bottom shows the last four opened app. Scrolling to the right shows more apps if opened and scrolling left shows the screen lock and music controls. If you click the Home one the screen returns to normal.

I updated my 3GS. It goes through the updating process then at the end a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode and cant finish. My phone has lost everything and doesn't even have the home screen just the iTunes symbol. What can I do?????

I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do

sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

Accidentally deleted an App Store app. how can I get the icon back on my home screen? when I search for it in the App Store it comes up 'open'. thanks.

What happens if you tap on open?
Remember, if you ever want to find an app quickly, you can slide all the way to the left (iOS 6 and lower) or pull down (iOS 7 and later) to get to an app.
If you know for certain that you have deleated the app, please try restarting your phone. There are many ways to do this, but the safest way would be to hold down the power button and then slide to power down.
Once powered down, restart and try to find the icon on your screen. If you still can't find it, go into the App Store and then find the app you were trying to access. It should have an iCloud download symbol since you've purchased it before, rather than saying "install."

No such app exisits or can exist. Apple doesn't allow 3rd party apps to access core functions of the phone. Time to get your phone replaced or repaired if assistive touch doesn't needs your needs.

How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen?

How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen? I don't know how I managed this - but my lovely 'happy' photo icon is gone from my home screen and I can only access it through the double click - I would like it back on the home screen...any ideas???

You looked on every page & in every folder(if you have folders)? Still don't see it? If so: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

I have just uploaded the new software and a strange app has appeared on my home screen ( a grey target, panorama thing without the man) there is no title under it and I can't seem to delete it. What is it? Do I need it? How do I delete it?

Icons on top of home screen

Can anyone tell me where I can find the meaning of all the icons on top of my home screen? The newest one that showed up is a bright red square with a white asterisk inside it. Some of them worry me. Thanks

I have Accu-weather, and their severe weather symbol is a red triangle with a yellow ! in the center. I believe that Weather Bug also uses the same type of symbol. It just may be from a weather alert. If you live in Florida and along the east coast, you just had a tropical storm visit you.

Unknown and unrecognizable icon on iPhone 5 home screen

This icon has appeared on my home screen. It is not included in my applications list. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Are you using a 3rd party app to check your battery usage?
If you are contact the app developer or look at their support site.

My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

(IOS 7 update trouble) My music app icon is missing from my home screen and I have to go through the search to find and use it. How do I get the icon back on my home screen

Find which screen, folder it was moved to, and hold down the icon until the icons start shaking. Then drag it to the left or right edge of the screen, and it will allow you to move it to which ever screen you want it. When you have it there, tap the Home button to stop the icons form shaking.
Or do what hannahsage said above.

I have downloaded what's app but icon is not on home screen and i have to search every time i want to use it ..anyone got any ideas pls

I have downloaded what's app but the icon is not on my iphone i have to search for the app everytime i want to use it has anyone got any ideas please???

This makes no sense... if it's not on the phone, it's not on the phone. A search of the device would never find it.
Is the issue possible that the app is simply on another home screen or in a folder? Have you possibly filled the 11 page max of home screens?

Lock icon at bottom of iTunes screen when iPod connected and selected -grey

I'm a longtime Mac and iPod man trying to get ipod working for friend who has Dell laptop and XP.
Have downloaded and installed latest Windows software for both iPod and laptop.
Problem
iPod is recognised, but I can do very little with it in iTunes. Items get greyed out, iPod screen often returns to internal menus (that is appears as if iPod is disconnected) and strangest of all (for me ) is that a lock icon appears at bottom of iTunes screen in line where iPod capacity is shown. Have reset iPod, restarted computer, iTunes etc. no change.
Here's the thing - same problem when connected to my iMac G5!
Any suggestions welcome.

Got my answer from nice chap with a Windows machine!
It was because iPod was in autosync mode which I have never used myself since I have way too much stuff in iTunes.

Changing Mobile Website Icon When Added to Home Screen of a Mobile

Does anybody know how to change the icon on the mobile layout when a user 'Adds to Home Screen'? Also, is it possible to add the mobile website to the users homescreen by having a button or code in place? Any help would be hugely appreciated people!! Thanks a lot!!

Bookmark saved in phone homescreen would be favicon of your site , which you can change from Site properties.
Regarding adding site favicon in homescreen , you can add the browser bookmark in homescreen first and then from browser settings , add bookmark with site name in home screen.
Thanks,
Sanjit

I have no home screen just white light blinking. What to do?

I plugged my droid razr Maxx to my computer like I always do for charging. Now droid home screen or light won't turn on. I have a white blinking notification light but that is all.
Please help.

sugiedfried949,
A non-responsive device is a scary place to be. Let's see if we can get that to respond to you again. Disconnect the phone from the USB port. Press and hold the Volume down button (located on the right edge). While continuing to hold Volume down, press and hold the Power button until the device powers off and the notification stops(approximately fifteen seconds) then release all buttons. If the device does not power back on automatically within a minute press the power button for 3 to 5 seconds as you normally would to power back on. Let us know whether or not you get the device back in business.
