Original apps missing from phone

I must have accidentally deleted a bunch of crucial apps that were on the phone when I got it. Now I don't know how to get them back as they are not for sale at itunes store. Do I have to restore original settings to get them back?

What apps?
The apps that come standard on phone cannot be deleted. They could be on another page, or you could have restrictions set.

Apps missing from iPhone 5s

There was discussion today regarding a blank screen when accessing the App Store. The App Store seems to be working fine now, but there are some apps missing from my iPhone (ie. Passbook, Netflix, Hangouts, etc.). I have tried powering off and rebooting my phone, but to no avail, the apps are still missing. I have also looked into downloading the apps again from the App Store. The App Store box shows that I can "open" the app from there, but when I tap on that icon, it does nothing. Is this a case where I have to re-sync my phone to iTunes, and hopefully the apps will show up again?

ok do this next
reset all settings
settings-general-reset-reset all settings
now reconnect to wifi
settings- wifi- click network name- enter password - join
Peace, Clyde

Apps missing from use cellular data list in iphone 6

So I got the new iPhone 6...and half of my apps are missing from the "use cellular data" list...those that are missing won't load when I try to open them...they just flash and shut down. I've tried turning off wifi...I've tried resetting the phone...nothing works. What's the point of the phone if you can't use the freaking apps when you aren't connected to wifi?? Anyone else having this problem?? Anyone know how to fix it??

Apps missing from iTunes. How to recover?

Suddenly, about 2/3 of my apps are missing from iTunes. Basically anything I bought in the last 16 months or so - the apps I currently actually use! I searched the iTunes folder on my laptop and the apps are not there either. Just very old ones. I tried to re-download purchases that I had already made and I get a warning that I will have to pay for the apps. I'm besides myself frustrated right now. What am I missing in the instructions to re-download something already purchased? I dont want to re-purchase all the apps again. Help!
Is there a way to pull the apps from my phone and put them back into iTunes?
Any help is appreciated.

I can confirm that right-clicking on the iPhone or iPod and choosing "Transfer Purchases" will successfully download the installed applications back to the iTunes library.
One thing to be aware - if you click on the iPhone and then "Apps", you'll see that "Sync Apps" is UNCHECKED. DO NOT CHECK IT and resync without doing a transfer purchases first or else it will also wipe the apps from your device!

Apps missing from itunes file

My iTunes apps file was corrupted, and I restored what I could. But now a lot of the apps are missing from iTunes.
They're on my iPhone 4S, and various other Apple devices, but every time I sync my iPhone, the sync deletes the apps from my phone that it can't find in iTunes. I've re-downloaded them onto my phone, but I can't find a way to re-download them to iTunes. So the next time I sync to add music to my iPhone that I've purchased elsewhere and imported into iTunes, all those apps get deleted again. More hours spent downloading apps back to my iPhone and placing their icons where they belong. Very frustrating. And one old app that is no longer available from iTunes, but one that I use daily, is now only on my old iPod Touch - so I can no longer sync it, without totally losing that app..
This problem first started when I tried to update to iOS 8.3 from 8.2. The update failed for some "unknown reason", and I had to restore my iPhone to the backup made just before that update. The restore dumped all my apps and all my music. When I tried to re-sync my music, it only restored about 1/3 of the songs. So I've had to re-sync again, and again, trying to get all the music back on the iPhone. And every time, it dumps most of my apps.
My questions are: Is there any way to get the old, highly valued app from my iPod Touch back into iTunes on my Windows 7 PC? And is there any way to get the missing apps back in to the iTunes file on my PC from my iPhone?

Follow the instructions here or here.

Apps disappearing from phone???

HI,
We were getting ready to go to dinner and I wanted to check a Groupon on my Groupon app when i noticed it missing from my phone.
I then noticed 3 or 4 other apps were missing. I went to itunes and they were all there, even showing on my phone. I tried for an hour to get them to work. They were showing downloaded and on my phone... but they were missing? Groupons, Pandora, Target, Walgreens... maybe more but those are the apps I remember. Any ideas? Thanks... Bama

if you are talking about folders on my phone, no... I don't have any folders on the screen? could they be hiding someplace else.
I can't find them when I'm doing a spotlight search...
They just disapeared and now won't download to the phone... i know they are on itunes and downloaded... hmmm
what's going on? thanks.

Now I'm just ****** off - original photos missing from iPhoto

Ok.
So I had this problem the other day after upgrading to iPhoto 6 (see here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=406534&tstart=0)
That seemed to get solved from the information provided.
OK, great. So today, I'm flipping through some albums, and I discover, much to my chagrin, that some photos (all of which appear to be from 2000/2001) have thumbnails, but no longer have the photos attached.
And before you say, "hey, do you have the apple support framework 1.4?" why yes, I've already checked.
And before you say, "hey, did you try rotating/exporting/dragging the photos to your desktop?" Why yes, I've already tried.
As a matter of fact, when I try to go into the iphoto library file structure itself, and open some of these older photos (after searching around for them because ever since the upgrade, I appear to have about 800 different files in my iphoto folder), I get a message that the image either doesn't exist or is corrupt.
Speaking of the file structure, This is a list of what I get now when I open the pictures folder in finder:
2000 (folder)
2001 (folder)
2002 (folder)
2003 (folder)
2004 (folder)
2005 (folder)
AlbumData.xml
bdayfun.jpg
Data (folder)
Dir.data
iPhoto.ipspot
iPhotoLock.data
iPod Photo Cache (folder)
Library.cache
Library.data
Library.iPhoto
Library6.iPhoto
Modified (folder - NOTE: THIS DOES HAVE AN INTERNAL FOLDER FOR 2006, BUT NONE FOR 2000 0R 2001)
Original (folder - same as "Modified")
Thumb32Segment.data
Thumb64Segment.data
ThumbJPGSegment.data
All of the photos (so far) that appear to not open are from 2001 and earlier. They are also photos that were taken with an old digital camera, and have file names such as "3 - 141" rather than the more current file naming conventions (but I didn't name these photos - iPhoto did, based on the original roll imports.
I'm finding it extremely frustrating that iPhoto wasn't upgraded in a way that took into account how previous versions of iPhoto itself worked!.
Nevermind that I've submitted multiple bug reports about the fact that iPhoto continues to crash every time I try to empty the trash folder, and have heard not a peep out of Apple.

Hi Samantha,
I know it must be frustrating. there is some info in the iPhoto Help files for missing photos:
"What to do about a missing photo
When you import or edit photos in iPhoto, they are saved in the iPhoto Library folder, located in the Pictures folder on your computer.
If you move, delete, or otherwise change a photo in the iPhoto Library folder, and then open the iPhoto application and try to edit or use that photo, iPhoto may not be able to find it. You will see the missing photo indicator instead (shown below).
To find or replace a missing photo:
If you have the original photo file, either on a CD or on your computer, just import it again into iPhoto. For more information, see Related Topics below.
If you don't have the original photo, or you are trying to find an edited version, try one of the following options.
Click your computer's Trash icon (not iPhoto Trash) and see if the photo is still in there.
Do a search.
To search within the iPhoto Library folder, open your Pictures folder and then open your iPhoto Library folder. From there, click Command-F, choose Images from the Any pop-up menu, and enter a search term.
To search all your files and folders, in the Finder, choose File > Find and enter a search term.
IMPORTANT: When you find the photo file, don't drag it directly into the iPhoto Libary folder. Save it to your desktop, then import it back into iPhoto from there.
If you don't know the file name, try going back to the original iPhoto Library folder and look at the other images. If one is missing in a numerical order, it may be the photo you're looking for and you can search for it. If that doesn't work, try searching on the date you think you moved the file, or the date you last edited it."
As far as your file structure, those loose year folders (if empty) can be deleted or dragged to the trash.
If the Year folders have photos in them that are missing from your library, drag them to the desktop and import the photos into iPhoto.
Here is how the library should look and what the folders contain.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.
As far as the trash is concerned, move most of the photos back into the library and delete a few at a time, then empty iPhoto's trash.
Some people have found success on making sure the trash folder is highlighted then go to iPhoto>empty trash.

Apps missing from Library sidebar after 10.1 update

Installed 10.1 yesterday and ever since the apps selection from the library is missing.
I experienced problems installing 10.1 yesterday, would not run via the update selection from within iTunes.
Instead, I manually downloaded and ran each component separately.
That was when I first noticed the problem.
I have completely uninstalled iTunes and all related programs.
Re-installed iTunes 10.1, no change.
I have reverted to a previous library file, no change.
All the apps still exist in the iTunes/MobileApplication folder.
Any ideas?

Sorted. In Edit/Preferences, General tab, Sources, the "Apps" checkbox was unselected. Lots of options there now - is this new?
Not sure why it got unselected...

Ios7 apps missing from purchased tab in app store

Hi all,
After a difficult - but successful - upgrade of my iPhone 4S to iOS 7 (I haven't restarted my PC after upgrading iTunes, put the device in DFU mode because it was not recognised by iTunes while remained in "connecting to iTunes" screen) I have another big problem: my previously purchased apps don't appear under Purchased tab in App Store app from iPhone. Nor the apps purchased on other devices (an iPad 3). I don't have any of the previous apps on my phone now. After I started downloading them manually, one by one, I noticed that they went in the folders I previously had.
Did any of you face the same/similar problem? How did you fix it?
Thanks!

I'm returning with an update: the apps now appear in Purchased tab of the App Store. Most like it was a problem with App Store servers at the time.
I've learned that I should have transferred all my purchases to iTunes when backing up the phone. That option is really hidden in iTunes, and after re-installing Windows on my PC I totally forgot about it. BTW, iTunes team: why back-up in iTunes does not include the purchases?
Oh, and after another restart (since upgrading), Facetime audio started working - previously I was getting only "call failed".
Good luck with your upgrade.

Camera lens missing from phone

I've got iphone 5. And the problem is that the camera lens is missing from back. My phone is under warranty. Will it be replaced or what..plz tell me

I guess it would depend upon why it's missing and if your AppleCare is still active.
If it is missing due to acciddental damage (drops, etc), then that would be considered an "Out Of Warranty" repair, and it would cost you about $269 USD (unless you have an active AppleCare+ where there are 2 "incidents" where you can get your phone replaced for $49).
If it is due to manufacturing defect, then it would be covered under the 1 year Mfr Warranty, so if you have proof of purchase, or have it registered with Apple, then it should be covered for a free replacement as long as you are within 1 year of the device's purchase.

Sample apps missing from new SDK

Hi Guys,
I just installed the new SDK and is it just me or are the sample apps missing?
Michael

Hi Michael,
Was this problem solved?
I double-checked and the SampleApps folder is there for me when I download the SDK Payload from our Production servers.
It could have been a bad download for you or something. You might want to try again.
I am attaching the sampleapps to this post for you in case the download doesn't work for you.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Best,

Why are some apps missing from 'background app refresh'?

I noticed Runkeeper (current version) is missing from 'background app refresh'. In order to start tracking a run, it has to be enabled in BAF...but it's not there. I've rebooted and reinstalled - no dice. Any advice?

Go to the purchased tab of the app store on your iPad and try downloading them from there. Unless these apps have been updated to only work with a newer iOS version than what you are running, you should be able to download them again.

Apps that became iOS 4-only are deleting previous app copies from phone

I've noticed that newer versions of apps that became iOS-4-only have been causing the previous iOS 3.1.x compatible version of the app to be deleted from the iPhone when syncing. I assume this is because the newer version of the app is not backwards compatible with iOS 3.1.x, so iTunes tries to replace the app on the phone with nothing, thereby deleting it.
Is there a way to prevent this? An example of this behavior is iPassword Pro 3.1.1 to 3.5 on an iPhone with OS 3.1.2.

got my apps back!! while my ipad was plugged into itunes i clicked on my device, selected the Apps tab. It listed the 5 pages of apps I should have on my ipad. I moved the last app i actually had currently on the ipad to the bottom of the last page of what I should have had on the ipad. I applied it, it went thru a Sync and they are all back on now hope it helps you!

FACE TIME APP MISSING FROM GULF VERSION I PAD 2

I bought an I pad 2 From Abu Dhabi (gulf) and after i realized that the face time application is missing from it.and later on i find out the face time is not available in any gulf country.so my question is if i take this i pad to Australia is it possible to install the face time application on my i pad?if any one could help me out please... thanks.....

FaceTime is disabled in the Middle East. You cannot get it installed. The best thing to do is return it, but i think they might not accept it as return policies only apply when a product is defective. Which your iPad is clearly not.
Still give it a try, Good Luck
