Setting app as well as others have disappeared

I have had multiple apps disappear from my iphone 4s. Some of which include the settings app, camera roll, app store etc. The phone cannot find these apps using the search either. I have done a factory reset and it has not helped. I cannot access the settings menu. Any advice?

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

4mccarthys,
If you are certain that iCal is no longer present on your computer...
To reinstall iCal:
1. Insert the Leopard Installation disk into the computer.
2. The disk will appear on the desktop.
3. Double click on the "Optional Installs" folder.
4. Double click on the "Optional Installs.mpkg."
5. Click on (Continue) in Introduction.
6. Click on (Continue) in Software License Agreement.
7. Click on (Agree) to agree to the terms of the software license agreement.
8. Click on the disclosure arrow ▶ next to Applications.
9. Select (✓) iCal.
10. Click (Continue).
11. After iCal has been reinstalled, download and install the Mac OS X 10.5.8 Combo Update to bring iCal up to the most recent version.

In accounts in hotmail except inbox all others have disappeared?

In hotmail account except inbox all have disappeared.

For now, we are not going to quit mail until we hear something back.
This is pure paranoia and has no basis in fact. Things don't spontaneously disappear when you quit an application, and since you later state that you've backed up the Mail directory, that's another reason why your reasoning makes no sense. Why don't you try a simple solution:
1. Quit Mail if it's running.
2. Go to ~/Library/Mail and delete the Envelope Index file.
3. Restart Mail and wait for it to import your existing messages. When it's done, check to see whether your mail is showing correctly in your Inbox for your accounts.

App Store, iCal and Contacts have disappeared from applications

Yesterday, I tried to purchase By Word from the app store on my mac mini, only to find that clicking on the icon in the dock turned it into an icon with a question mark on it. I rebooted, and updated, thinking that might be the cause, but no joy - I also noticed the same happened to iCal and Contacts (Mail and everything else in my dock works fine still).
I checked in applications and the missing apps are nowhere to be found. I also ran the combo update for 10.7.3 as I read elsewhere that this could reinstall the app-store if people have accidentally deleted it, no joy.
I haven't deleted any of these apps, and although I don't use iCal or Contacts on the mini, I'd like to understand how they've disappeared.
I've not used my mini for a while, and not purchased anything from the app store for a long time, so it's hard to tell what may be a contributing factor to the disappearance (I cleared a bunch of stuff from my trash before I realised they were gone too unfortunately, so I can't even tell if they were in there or not).
in the last couple of sessions, I've installed dropbox, anti-social.cc, handbrake, updated magic prefs, run a system update (now running 10.7.3) and installed the latest version of node.js
I've never deleted any application from this machine (not had it too long), but to see if I could have done it accidentally, I removed magic prefs and I'd have had to go into applications specifically to remove them - which I definitely haven't done.
I'm the only login for this machine, it's a personal one, so no worries there. I've even checked for flashback virus and no trace.
I'm absolutely out of ideas, and I can live without iCal and Contacts, but I'd like the app store back if at all possible. I've seen some non-apple sites where people have extracted the app store from a package for individual install, and if necessary, I suppose I'll have to go down that route, but I'd rather keep things official if posisble, and get some understanding into what's happening.
If there are any logs, or other information which can help with this post, please let me know and I'll dig them out - if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I'd be really greatful.
Thanks

OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this.

All of the app icons on my iPhone have disappeared...why??

Help! I ran an update on 6 apps in the app store and some were sat at 'waiting' for 5 hours. I tried to click on them but nothing was happening, so I switched off and then on again. This seemed to erase the icons but they could still be found using the spotlight search. I went to the app store but it wouldn't let me delete and reinstall as it needed the icon to do this, so I did a screen layout rest on my iPhone to see if that would help.....er, no - now ALL of my purchased iPhone app icons have been completely removed from my home screen. WHY???

Try resetting the phone:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
After that, try going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout again.

My apps and Control Center calculator have disappeared on my iPhone 5s!!

I just bought this phone in December and was having a lot of fun learning how to use it.
All of my apps have been working fine, but suddenly this week a bunch of them are just gone... and so is the calculator in my Control Center!
It is an iPhone 5s. Operating System iOS 7.0.4. Sprint.
I have not used anything called 'jailbreak.' It is a brand new phone, not a restored one.
I have researching solutions on forums and youtube and I have tried the following suggestions:
- Swipe my screen right --> Use the search bar to find my apps.
- swiping between different screens and folders where they may have been displaced
- Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset Home Screen Layout
- Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset All Settings
- Delete all of my apps. Plug the phone into my laptop. iTunes --> App Store --> redownload them from iTunes. (my laptop app store did not show iphone apps, just laptop apps)
All of these suggestions had no success. The Reset All Settings was a killer. I backed up everything I thought I needed on iCloud but missed some things. So now after all those trials, I lost a bunch of my info, my wifi and settings are reset, and I am still missing my apps and Control Center calculator
PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME!
I am not very technologically advanced, so if there are any new suggestions you can offer, I would greatly appreciate it!
And please explain them in layman's terms thanks

Is that the only option?
Why would I have suggesed it if there were a simpler option that you didn't aready try without success?
I'm afraid I will lose even more information.
Did you read the support article I linked for you - specifically the part about backing up and restoring the backup?

I have a new iPhone for work, set up on a new iTunes account (PC). I was told i can associate it to my home iTunes account (iMac) but don't know how. I want to save the work related apps as well. Any advice? Thanks

Thanks. I messed up with my husbands iphone because I was told the wrong thing. Now everytime I sync his phone it makes it look just like the other phone I had. Do you know how I can fix taht for his phone? Any settings I can turn off that will prevent all of my apps/contacts, etc from auto populating his phone?

2 New Ipads (Retina and Mini)(New to Apple) How do I share purchased apps, but others have each act independently? Mini is for the Wife the Ipad4? is for me. I want to use mine at work, etc. She's home with the kids. Can we set them up seperate, but share

--break--
So we are entirely new to Apple products. I'm an IT guy, but have always been a windows user.
So the Ipad with Retina Display is to be mine (and will use it at work for notes, organization, etc)
The MINI is for the wife.
But, are we allowed and can we.. buy an app and share that app between both devices? IE. Can I buy a copy of Angry Birds for the House and both Ipad's use that single purchase? and if so, can we still run the Ipads seperate other than to share the apps purchased. IE my facebook and email set up on mine and hers on her ipad mini?
When I finally find a note taking app I like, can I share it on her ipad, without her having all my work files, etc?
Thanks for helping out the apple noob. Hoping for a great experience, and anticipate droping $100 in apps the first day.. just don't want to do that twice. If this is against the usage policy, thats unfortunate but good to know. (I mean we can share stuff on PC as long as its in the same household)
thanks again (explanations or links are fine)

There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:
https://appleid.apple.com

Do you have a backup to restore from that would have included that in-app purchase?

After updating to iOS 8.0.2 the App Store and iTunes have disappeared, is anyone else having this problem? Help please!

Well, if they have truly disappeared then something is really messed up. For really messed up stuff, you need to set it to factory default condition, and then afterwards, restore it from your backup.

These icons have disappeared on my iPad 1; iTunes, safari,app store. How to restore???

These icons have disappeared from my ipad1; itunes,safari & app store. I cannot use the ipad because of these missing apps. How to transfer these app from my mac to the ipad?

They are built-in apps, so they can't be deleted, though they might be hidden (you also can't copy them from your Mac, they are different operating systems). If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (pull down the centre of the home screen down in iOS 7, swipe your first home screen to the right in iOS 6 and below), then are thet hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Installing Apps, Safari, and iTunes being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output andWi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Help please with FaceTime. The built in app seems to have disappeared from my iPad2. Bought it in Australia

Help please with FaceTime. My built in app seems to have disappeared.

If K Penguin's suggestion doesnt work, you will have to go to you iTunes and do a reset, that is if you do not have it in your back up library.

Hi, I set up my new iPhone S4 with iclouds. So the data of my old S3 should move to the S4. However, some applications could not be loaded on the S04. Now some apps are loaded and others not . How can I progress?

Thanks. I can change the forwarding settings in Gmail to be either POP or IMAP. That is quite simple. I just looked at those settings on the Gmail server and, to my surprise, both are enabled. In order for outlook client on my computer to receive IMAP emails I have to change the email account settings in my current outlook from POP to IMAP. I don't need to be using the Exchange version of Outlook to receive IMAP. I guess I'll do a little research tomorrow on Exchange so i can figure out what, if anything, it might do for me.
I glanced at the link you sent me and it looks like it might be very helpful - another project for tomorrow.
BTW: I hit "This Solved my Question" by accident. I meant only to "like' your response so you would get some benefit from the help you've given me so far. I hope I haven't discouraged others from taking a shot at helping me. I suspect there is more than one way to approach this and, as you know, my problem isn't really solved until I have what I need all set up and running smoothly.
