Photo App Icon On Startup Screen

Hey Folks,
Anybody know how to make the Photo app icon NOT show on the locked screen? Not the Home screen, the screen with the slider.
Thanks,
Robert

I thought you had solved my problem, but come to find out that this only works if the Passcode lock is turned on. I turned it on to set the Picture Frame to "off" and then turned the Passcode lock off. The icon is still on the startup screen. If I turn passcode lock on, the icon goes away, turn it off, it is back. Sure would like to find another way to get rid of it.

I don't have the Photo app icon on my home screen. Where do I get this from in order to see all my photos from photo stream?

I don't have the Photo app on my home screen. Where do I find this? I think this is what I must use to view photos from my photo stream?

My photo icon on icloud.com did not appear until I went to my device (ipad in my case) and went to settings...Photos and Camera and toggle on iCloud Photo and Library (Beta) then refresh the icloud.com page.

Accidentally deleted the photos app icon from my iPhone 4s.

I've read the previous threads on this topic but none quite fit the bill. I need to re-install the Photos icon, which has disappeared.
This happened while I was holding my phone but not paying attention; when I looked again the icons were all shaking. I don't know how the icon disappeared because the factory defaults don't offer a delete option, but the icon definately disappeared at that time.
The app itself is still there and, because it was running when I deleted the icon, I can currently still access it by double clicking the main button, where app (and icon) is still accessible there at the bottom of the screen. But this is not convenient for general usage, and if I hard close the app from there then I will have no way to open the Photos app.
I can't re-download the app because it is a factory default app and not available anywhere (and as such shouldnt be deletable!).
The icon isnt hiding anywhere amongst my subfolders, and I've checked for restrictions but there arent any.
Restetting the home screen layout to factory defaults presumably means I will lose all the other app icons I have, and their sub folders etc, which I dont want to do either.
I have now backed up my phone and all my photos etc, but if I restore my phone from a previous backup, I will lose the data and messages I've acquired isince then.
All I want to do is re-install the icon and make sure it links to the photos app that is still installed - surley that can't be so hard?
All help appreciated.
I don't have a Mac and run Windows 7 on a Sony VAIO. All versions of iTunes and IoS are up to date.

PROBLEM SOLVED
ANSWER The exact same thing happened to me today. I accidently deleted my Photo app (with over a 1000 photos in it) but I could still access it by pressing the home button twice. This is because it was with the background running apps (when you press the home button twice it shows all the apps running in the background) but it would not let me drag it to the Home screen.
Well so I was anxiously reading this thread at church to see what to do (I did a search for, 'I accidently deleted my Photo app' and how I came across this thread). Anyway, I searched all my subfolders and everywhere IT WAS NOT IN ANOTHER FOLDER AND THE PHOTO ICON WAS COMPLETELY GONE FROM ANY OF THE DESKTOPS.
Anyway, my phone was dying and no way to charge it so it died at church and so I connected it to my car charger in my car when leaving church and after the iphone came on again, there was the Photo App on my desktop!
So my advice is to let it completely run out of it's charge then later plug into a charger. I have the iPhone 4S going on almost 2yrs now and this is the first time this has happened to me! I was in a hurry getting ready for church and pressed it accidently so I know exactly when it happened (when all the apps have x's and you can delete them ...).
I always delete the backgound running apps to save battery power but I thought now I can never delete the Photo background running app or will lose everything! Hope this works for you all. I know I can connect it to my desktop and all but try this first - much easier...

How do I move or delete App icons from my screen?

I'm tryng to eliminate most of the icons on my phone screen. On my 4, I used to be able to do it by holding my finger on the icon and either editing or just moving. But I can't move anything to page 2 of my screen and page 1 is full. HELP

Press on and hold any one app on the home screen(where it shows all your apps), they'll go into a "wiggle mode", you can then use the x's in the left top corner of the icons to uninstall the apps or drag them around to rearrange them. Also dragging an app icon on top of another one and holding it there for a second will create a "folder" or group, which will allow you to organize apps better. You can also put groups in the dock on the bottom.

Missing App icon from iphone screen

I am missing an app icon on my iphone screen. how can i get it back? it says that the app is already downloaded, but the icon is gone.

On your iPhone go to the search page (slide the home page to the right) and search for the app's name. Note that the name you're searching for should be the name under the icon - official app names are often a longer version. If the search finds it, it's somewhere on the hone, possibly inside a folder.
If the search does not find it, it's not marked for sync with this iPhone. Check the selection box in iTunes and re-sync. Note, however, that if the app is not compatible with your particular phone, it will not be synced.

Guided Access makes some app icons on Home screen dark

Hi,
I've found that when I've used Guided Access on my phone, almost always when I come out of it some of the apps on my home screen are darkened. The screenshot below shows an example (please excuse my ridiculously colourful wallpaper!) You can see some of the apps that are greyed out are iBooks, YouTube, App Store & all the ones in the bottom bar.
It seems very random which ones go dark. It's not that the app need an update or anything, and the apps still work. Sometimes if I open one of the darkened apps & use it a bit, the icon will go back to normal, but not always. Anyone have any idea why? I know it's not a problem that causes any practical issues, but it just looks wrong & is starting to niggle me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Yep!
And that involves moving them manually, which is what I do.
The OP wants it automated, I don't know that I want the device doing that.

Had the sudden appearence of a "books" folder that contains the Kindle app. How do I get rid of this folder and return to just the Kindle app icon on the screen?

I have an iTouch. I do not remember exactly what happened, but I now have a folder labeled "Books" that contains my Kindle app.
Previously, I simply had the Kindle app on the home screen.
How do I remove the Books folder and return to the previous setup, i.e. just the Kindle app on the home screen?

Is there another app in the folder like the iBooks app? Yu can move two apps together and when they combine and be placed in a folder. Itunes will guess/suggest a folder name and you can change it. If there are tow apps in the folder just go to that folder and touch and hold the an app and after they start wiggling mode one app out side the folder and folder will disappear if there were only two apps in the folder. To stop the wiggling depress the Home button once.

New Photo app stuck at startup

I have a Mid 2011, 27" iMac. With the recent update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on April 24, 2015, Apple replaced iPhoto in my Dock with the new Photo app (The original iPhoto is still in my Applications folder.). When I opened the new Photo app [Version 1.0 (209.52.0)], it came up with a dialog box suggesting the use of the iCloud Photo Library. I clicked on the "Use iCloud Photo Library" button and found I have too large of a photo library and there would be a cost involved to use it, so I decided to go back and select the "Not now" button. However, that "button" is not (or no longer) a hotspot and does not work. Finding no way out, I thought I'd close and restart Photo, but I get a dialog box that "Photos is creating or opening a library. Cannot quit Photos while it is creating or opening a library."
Suggestions?

I executed a Force Quit on the new Photo app, then restarted it. At the Welcome window, I clicked on the Get Started button and a spinning gear started just below the button. That gear is still spinning two days later. Can I safely Force Quit the Photo app. again? Then what? Can I continue to use the older iPhoto app? Thank-you for any further suggestions.

I'm having the same problem. Has anyone contacted Apple about this? Does anyone have a fix for it?
Some basic steps to see if it's a software issue:
1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
3) If still bad, try a restore from itunes. This reinstalls the OS and all standard apps.

Apps icon on home screen - POOF!

Brand new iPod touch bought for my daughter yesterday. We downloaded some apps and now the icon on the homescreen disappeared!
What can I do to bring it back? Should I reset the whole thing?

Can you find the app using the Search feature?
What "icon" disappeared?
Try going to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Screen Layout.
I would also recommend looking at the manual

ITouch5 no app icons just home screen wallpaper

I am unable to move app icons from one screen to the next, after 2.1

Can any one verify this?
I have restarted the phone, just in case and the behavior continues.
While on the subject, it would be nice if Apple could supply a MAC interface for rearranging the iPhone screens as it is not much fun on the phone itself.

Figured it out last night. it does work but you now have to kind of over along the boder before it jusmps over. I am pretty sure that before it sufficed to push the icon to the border in order to move it over.
I guess this new way is better as you really need to want to move it in order to switch screens.

Blackberry curve won't show any app icons in home screen

I have a curve that isn't registered because my dad gave it to me, but it was working fine until I took a picture and put it as my background. Then in the home screen no apps(even preloaded ones) will show up.
