Pages app disappeared from iPhone

Setup: I have an iPhone 5S, iPad Air, and two Macs (mini and 13" Retina MBP) all running latest iOS and Mac OS X respectively. I always download all updates. I have just downloaded (two days ago) the latest Pages, Numbers, Keynote updates. On my iPhone I have 'deleting apps' turned off in restrictions and I have all three iWork apps in a folder.
Issue: today, when I looked at my phone the Pages icon has disappeared. Searching for pages doesn't show it in search. When I go to the App Store it says 'Open' but when I touch that, nothing happens. I have tried switching the phone off and on again but the situation persists.
Next step: Go to restrictions allow deleting apps. Download app and documents again.
I will try this and see if it works but it doesn't fill me with confidence as this could theoretically happen on the iPad too and I need all three apps for mission critical work on a daily basis.
I will report what happens next here.

OK just went to Usage and deleted it from there. Saw this unusual image with the icon showing but no name next to it:
Its OK this time because its Sunday afternoon/ evening here in the UK and I have WiFi to make it all pretty painless but it would have been different in a work or  mobile situation where I needed the Pages app and my documents.
Also, since this happened after the last update, I hope this isn't going to happen on all my other devices too...

  • Calendar app disappeared from iphone ios7

    Just noticed that my Calendar app disappeared from my iPhone 5 - ios7.  It was visible after upgrade, although I hardly use it, but noticed today that it had disappeard.  Anyone know how to get it back, or what happened?

    I did a Spotlight Search, and it's not there.  The "Gadgets" I'm talking about is "Gadgets by Esteve Fiol Sastre" and it's a bunch of tools like level, flashlight, protractor, etc., and that one is not in the App Store.  If something is removed from the App Store, does it automatically disappear from the iPhone?   Thanks,  fselce

  • Downloaded Apps Disappeared from iPhone 5S

    All downloaded apps disappeared from my iPhone 5S. The restriction setting is off and I don't have hidden apps. I tried to reset my phone, but did not work either. When I checked from App Store, it said "open", but I couldn't click open. When a new app finished installing, it also disappeared. HELP!

    Assuming you don't have any restrictions set on your apps (Settings --> General --> Restrictions, Apps)
    If the app has suddenly disappeared, but when you go to the App Store can it says "Open" instead of insta//download, that means the app is still there, but iOS seems to have lost track of it.
    You can try backing up and restoring from a backup.
    Or
    You can try deleting the app and re-installing:
    Settings --> Usuage (wait for the app list to load) and then you delete it there, and then re-install.
    (You WILL lose ALL data that was saved under that app tho!)

  • Safari app disappeared from iPhone screen

    Safari app
    disappeared from my ipone screen

    You can't delete it.  Look through all your screens and in all your folders.  If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.  This will restore it (and other iOS apps) to its original location.

  • Apps disappeared from iPhone 5 when I downloaded ios 7.

    When I downloaded ios 7 to my iphone 5, many of my apps disappeared.  I can find them by using the search on the phone, but there are no icons.  When I go to the App Store and pull up those apps, the "Open" button is where the download button usually is.  How do I get the icons back?

    Hey there Daizon!
    I have an article for you here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
    Battery life seems short
    Click ( www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html) for tips on how to prolong iPhone's battery life.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Connect iPhone to iTunes and restore iPhone.
    If the screen shows a low-battery image, the battery is low on power and needs to charge for up to ten minutes before you can use it.
    When charging iPhone, make sure to leave it charging until it is fully charged. You'll know the battery is fully charged when the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen looks like this .
    Note: When charging using a computer, don't connect iPhone to a keyboard. Also, the computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPhone battery may drain.
    Note: Charging with a FireWire-based power source is not supported, except on original iPhone.

  • I purchased the Pages App on my iPhone. Does that include the Pages Application for my Mac Mini? If so, how do I get it onto my Mac?

    I purchased the Pages App on my iPhone. Does that include the Pages Application for my Mac Mini? If so, how do I get it onto my Mac?

    No it does not. The 2 are separate.
    To get Pages on your Mac mini purchase it from the Mac App Store. The icon is on your Dock.

  • All podcasts disappear from iPhone whenever I sync with iTunes

    I have a very annoying issue whenever I sync my iPhone with iTunes.
    I download all podcasts on the iPhone directly, never in iTunes. But I still want to sync music etc. with iTunes.
    I have not checked the checkbox for sync of Podcasts in the Podcasts tab, but everytime I sync the iPhone, all podcasts on the iPhone are removed. Why is this? This is not very consistent with how the rest of sync works, I have also left sync for Applications unchecked, and this does not result in all apps disappearing from the iPhone.
    Has anyone else experience this?
    Btw, I am using iTunes on WinXP, at work...

    Hi,
    Try resetting your Sync Services. See here to reset your sync services.
    Let us know how it goes.
    Best wishes

  • Pages has disappeared from my Doc. I recently installed Open Office, is this why Pages has gone missing?

    Pages has disappeared from my Doc and from my systems preferences.  I can't find Pages at all.  I recently installed Open Office, is this the reason my Pages has gone missing?

    I know iBooks aren't backed up and that iCloud just backs up the purchase history, but I'm not sure about pdfs being backed up. Some people say they are:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23211222#23211222
    It's probably safer to assume it doesn't backup pdfs. You could store your pdfs (for safekeeping) in an app like Dropbox.

  • ITunes Festival app disappeared from my Apple TV menu screen...

    My iTunes Festival app disappeared from my Apple TV menu screen, does anyone know how to bring it back again?
    I restarted my Apple TV and everything but nothing is happening... please help!

    I may be wrong but I suspect the festival was a limited time free extra not directly advertised on the AppleTV page.  I agree it's a shame it's gone - I browsed it and there were a few artists I might have watched who were not available as they had not played yet.
    There may well be licensing/contractual limitations for how long Apple can broadcast the material set up by the music studios and artists.
    If things are added for free temporarily it would be nice if they gave some kind of expiration date warning.
    Send some feedback to Apple:

  • Apps store from iPhone lists in French

    When initially activated, my apps store brought up apps in English (my specified language on iPhone). When I went to apps store from iPhone over the weekend, all listings were in French. How do I change back to English (all other iPhone info is in English, including in my settings)?

    You can only sync to one computer at a time. If you switch to a new one all apps and other media files will be erased. Transfer your purchases before you sync to the new one. To do this, disable autosync, connect your phone, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases"
    Backup manually the same way. Before you start, make sure to sync again with your old computer and you have at least one contact and event set up on the new one to be able to merge data after the first sync. Restore the rest of your data using the backup you made before.

    Not long ago my wife signed on to my Apple ID so she could get some of my songs. Maybe that has something to do with it? I double checked that my apple ID was the one that purchased the songs and is the current ID signed on to my phone. Also, just to see if it made any difference. I signed out of my ID and signed back in, now all of the songs that were listed and needing to be downloaded are gone completely. I went to iTunes and they are showing as purchased but not able to download. any suggestions?
