Safari icon is no longer visible on iPhone
I can no longer find the Safari icon on my iPhone.
Could some tell me what things could have caused this and how could I fix this?
Check Settings -> General -> Restrictions. If restrictions are enabled, the icon will be hidden.

My podcasts icon is no longer visible after swiping the "more" tab. Any assistance on how to recover it on my ipod touch? Anyone encountered this problem and been able to resolve it? Thanks
Hi,
did you install the Apple's PodCast app? as soon as you install the PodCast app, it is remove from the iTunes apps. if you want your podcast back in iTunes, delete the PodCast app from your iPod. -
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the software but the clear recent documents icon is no longer visible as formerly experienced.
Hi,
The 'Clear Recents' button which was provided in previous releases only *cleared* the Recent list and did not delete the files. The files stayed in your document hierarchy. This button has been removed in the latest release. For deleting the files, you can go to the Documents/Acrobat.com tab and delete the files individually. However, please note that the files will be permanently deleted from your device. Please let us know if this is not a viable option for you. We would like to hear more about your use case.
Thanks,

HT3582 the camera icon is no longer on my iphone screen
My son has been playing with my phone again and i now do not have the camera icon. How do i get my camera back?
To prove it is there. Go the first iPhone screen, slide screen all the way to right. This is the Search Screen, in top bar type cam, or if you want type camera. There it is. You can now look for it on the iPhone. If you want the iPhone to find it by organizing all your Apps in order. Then, Settings App>General>Reset, near bottom of list, Reset Home Screen Layout.

'show icon preview' not working, Icon preview no longer visible
I have lots of folders full of jpg files. The preview icon do longer appears and all i get is the genetic icon. This happened randomly yesterday and I don't know how to fix it. I have the 'Show Icon Preview' enabled yet I only get the generic icon. Any ideas why? (OS X 10.5.8). I have tried a restart, permissions fix, and reindexed my hard drive with spotlight. No luck. Please help!
Simply: I don't know how to get the preview back even after selecting the "show icon preview" box on the options. HELP!There probably are some hidden probable causes for this behavior;
while not knowing if you perform any general maintenance in a
preventative way for your OS X system, some of the suggestions
I could provide here may mean little or nothing to some users, or
to others, who have done them for years as a matter of course, to
suggest those could be the same as an insult; or a laughing matter.
You could try rather basic things, a few steps above 'repair disk
permissions' in Disk Utility. That's been around since OS 10.1.5.
And it has a place among other steps one can do to help out.
Sometimes, you can start up into SafeBoot mode; then choose to
run Disk Utility, and repair disk permissions. When done, quit D.U.
and restart the computer normally. - Other repairs to the system may
be performed by booting up from the OS X installer and run Disk
Utility from the menu drop-down options in the main Installer window.
You can repair disk, verify disk (SMART verify), repair disk permissions
and verify disk permissions. Plus other aspects of Disk utility that are
tools to set up partitions and other things beyond a basic simple fix.
SafeBoot mode, basic:
+Hold the Shift key down on start-up, keep holding it until you get a login+
+screen, enter admin password, then when desktop appears, you can+
+use GO in menu bar to find Utilities folder, and run Disk Utility's repair+
+disk permissions. When done, quit the Utility and restart.+
There probably may be some .plist file controlling the view of image icons
and since I haven't followed that issue (experienced it in the past, forgot
what I did to fix it) I am not sure what preference file to suggest trashing.
But you can be very selective, when knowledgeable, and do that. Then,
later on, when you restart the computer the default setting would return.
You could set that to whatever (if not the default) & that may fix the matter.
{One preference file location that probably would contain your user account's
.plists would be in the Macintosh HD> User folder> Library> Preferences>
...Now, the correct one among these becomes important. There is a desktop
plist, a finder plist, and others. Since each user in a Mac with their own setup
account can change these, yours should be in your booted user account.
However, some time has passed since this kind of issue occurred and I didn't
need to delete a .plist to resolve it. Yet that may be a short fix.}
These issues usually have a cause; sometimes it may be due to other items
not quite right in the user interface and symptoms of that sometimes show up
in odd places and they may not be directly related. Subtle and dismissed, a
few of those quirks are not show stoppers in OS X. A 'safeboot' & disk utility
may resolve some; to find a correct .plist preference file & trash it may, too.
If the computer's hard disk drive is getting full of content you have added, it
may be time to archive image libraries and/or music libraries off the Mac's
internal hard disk drive and then thin out content on the computer. That can
help a computer run better. Damage to data on the computer drive may be
a result (or outright is) of over-filling the hard disk drive. Overwriting content
is sometimes an issue; it could be subtle, too, for awhile. Checked into it?
For some preventative maintenance chores, I have and use OnyX which is
a free running utility tool (which I refer to as a utility interface tool) that pulls
the strings in OS X that some users would not think of the Terminal utility
ways of making them work; this gives you a GUI format, an application to
run various sets of items rather easily. If done without concern, these tools
can do bad things (same as booted Disk Utility, drastic tools are onboard.)
OnyX is a free-running downloadable app from Titanium Software; and since
I only use it maybe once every several months (or sooner if bored or if active
in using one computer more than usual) & have it run in Automation selection
having chosen all the check-box choices, so it will do those. I also have OnyX
set in its preferences, to restart the computer after it is done running those.
This may do more than you need in this selection of Automation. I have never
had any issues with this; but some preference choices system-wide may need
to be set back to your choice, as it can be also set to wipe caches or other old
logs and misc stuff. A few settings won't make much different to default from.
Usually, I prefer not to shut off or restart my computer until such time as when
Activity Monitor shows some issue with virtual memory and swap files or space
on the hard drive being excessively allocated as Virtual Memory. At times, a
restart may be required. My Mac can run a few months without restart, but it is
left to sleep or I will put it to sleep. Even so, some basic background OS X items
may not automatically run as they should. You can force the maintenance cycles.
If the 'show icon preview' does not work even after performing catch-up maintenace
and including OnyX, SafeBoot, and others; and if you have at least 30% of the total
hard disk drive capacity open or free from use, then you may have to consider a few
other ideas. (Removing the plist file may be the only thing you'd need do.) Another
idea in a few cases of more severe odd behavior, and if you updated your Leopard
10.5 to your current/last level through use of the Delta or small update file, would be
to get the larger Combo (last version) and after repairing disk permissions, install it
over the similar system in your computer. 10.5.8 over 10.5.8. Then restart and go in
and repair disk permissions again. Perhaps later on, safeboot and do them.
That much effort is seldom needed. Preventative maintenance and care to not over-
fill the hard disk drive, helps to almost never see such a problem in your Mac OS X.
{In a few cases, people who have upgraded from an earlier OS X version (Tiger-to-
Leopard, for example) and had a problem, may still have a similar problem later. So
it is best to fix issues and not hope to upgrade over them. Unless it is a totally new
bare-bones secure zero-overwritten drive, correct partition map, reformat, new install.
Then, there should be no doubt if there was an odd problem in the software, only.}
Hopefully some of this late night rambling may be of some help.
+Answering a question in these forums can be like replying to a+

Apple TV icon its not longer visible & no sound
Hi,
I do not know what I did wrong but since today the apple tv sign its not longer existing and I can select it and additional I have no sound any longer.
Maybe somebody can help? I do not know what I should do.
Many thanks
N.There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

My safari icon is gone from dock on iphone 4
I can't get any tech support on the phone, nothing interactive online
You cannot delete it.
It is likley on another page, in a folder, or you have restrictions set.
If you do not find it in these places then reset your home screen layout.
All of this is covered in the manual:
iPhone User Guide (For iOS 4.2 and 4.3 Software) -
I have a iPhone 4 8GB. I have three greyed out safari icons that doesn't say safari but a web link. It's like a bookmark to your homepage but not in your homepage. I noticed it when I deleted all my web pages and on that one web page where it says "search or type in a address" right below it where it's just all white, there's three grey looking safari icons with each one with a different web site that's attached to it. When I tap on it it goes to a specific website. For ex one if them says www.longchamp.com, the other macys.com. There's no way to delete it. The wired thing is each one in color it like three shades of grey . Light, med and darker grey icons. When I hold down the icon you can move it around but can't delete, nothing just nothing. It's been there for the longest time I can remember. Do you know what this is? I took a pic of it. I don't know how to attach it to this discussion. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

My iPhone 5 is no longer visible to my PC via Windows Explorer
My iPhone 5 (running iOS 8.02) is no longer visible to my PC (running Windows 7) via Windows Explorer. In the past, I have been able to see the phone listed as a Device in Windows Explorer when connected via USB cable, and could navigate to the DCIM folder to see and copy photos just like any other hard driver.
Since installing iOS 8.02, the phone no longer appears in Windows Explorer.
If this is no longer possible, how can I transfer photos from iPhone to PC? I have tried clicking around in iTunes, but can't find any relevant functionality there, either - am I missing something?You're welcome. There are many blurred lines with respect to iOS 8 photo management -- i.e. is the photo actually on the device, or only in iCloud? If it is in iCloud only, and you put it into an album on the iPhone, does it get downloaded to the device and is it still full resolution?
Part of the problem may be that there are still some unfinished things with respect to photos. The "iCloud Photo Library" feature seen in pre-iOS 8 release is still in beta form, so whenever that gets full release there could be some sense in all this. There's also the pending replacement of iPhoto and Aperture on the Mac platform, slated to be replaced by a new "Photo" app, so that may play into the big picture on photo management.
But for the time being, I don't feel that the changes to photo management in iOS 8/ iCloud have been for the better. I can only hope that we get a more elegant photo management process with these pending changes. -
I did a force close on Safari and after rebooting my macbook pro, i no longer see the Safari icon on the dock. How do i get i back?
If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

I have been using FIREFOX since a long time back and am quite happy with FIREFOX 4.
But a little uncanny situation since release of FIREFOX RC is that 'Reload which used to come under view option is no longer visible,but appears as an icon(button) in toolbar...which sometimes doesn't work(becomes blur and sometimes firefox hangs)'.
Please try to fix it if its only my problem or include it in next release.Thanks!I have been using FIREFOX since a long time back and am quite happy with FIREFOX 4.

I got a iphone yesterday and today I was rearranging the icons and now I can't find my camera or safari icon any ideas what happen?
They can't be deleted so one of 3 things happened:
1) You moved them into folders or to different pages. Reset the home screen layout if you can't find them. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
2) You set up restrictions on them. Settings>General>restrictions.
3) You added an Exchange account for which the administrator has specifically prohibited the use of Internet browsers and cameras on phones.
The only thing you can do in case 3 is remove the Exchange account and appeal to your IT department to change the policy. -
I can see the Safari icon on my iPhone screen, but the program doesn't run. I have checked the settings and it is on and not restricted. It seems that the application has simply stopped running. The little "searching" icon just spins and spins. Can I delete the application and reinstall it?
You can't delete it. you will need to do a restore.
