Settings icon with IOS 6

I recently updated my iPhone 4 to IOS 6.  I no longer can find the Settings icon on my desktop.  I can find Settings by swiping to the right to the blnak desktop and then key Settings into theSearch iPhone field.  How can I retore it to y desktop?

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto another screen or into a folder, check the Utilities folder if you have one.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app is still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Can I get rid of the red color "1" reminder on the Settings icon for iOS 6 update?

    I have my apps working good on iOS 5.1.1 and I know for sure the update to iOS 6 will mess up more things than worth the upgrade.  I was wondering the red "1" reminder will go away if I uncheck the box for "check for new software updates automatically" in iTunes and do a recovery on my iPad2.  I have backup my iPad2 on iCloud and on my laptop.  Your help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

    There is no legit way at all to go back.
    Have you tried reset?
    Restore from backup?
    Restore as new?

  • Hi, I bought an iPod 2 and I jailbreaked it before. I tried to download the iOS 5.0.1 from the Settings icon on my iPad 2 and then my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore and it kept on showing a screen with an arrow pointing to an iTunes symbol.

    Hi, I bought an iPod 2 and I jailbreaked it before. I tried to download the iOS 5.0.1 from the Settings icon on my iPad 2 but then my iPad wouldn't turn on anymore and it kept on showing a screen with an arrow pointing to an iTunes symbol. I later learned that this was the recovery screen so I tried to put it out of the recovery mode by pressing the home button and power button simultaneously, but the screen kept on returning back to the recovery screen. I could not restore the iPad 2 on iTunes either, so I downloaded Tiny Umbrella 5.10.01 and tried to save the shsh. However, under the recovering devices section on the left side, my iPad did not appear and I only got a device titled ?18092..... I tried to save the shsh of this ?18902... anyways but this did not work. So, I clicked on the device and pressed the exit recovery but then my iPad2 screen went black with a white apple logo in the middle. This logo keeps on dimming and disappearing and even when I plug my iPad 2 to the computer, neither my iTunes nor the Tiny Umbrella notice it. I need urgent help!

    At this point only a restore will fix your issue.

  • Contacts icon blank in Twitter settings on iPad with iOS 5

    If you are using twitter on iOS 5 with an iPad and go to settings ---> twitter.....there is a list of apps that have been approved to access your twitter account. These could include Safari, Photos, Maps, YouTube, and Contacts.  Each has an icon of the app along with an on/off toggle switch. For some reason the Contacts app icon is the only one that's blank. On my iPhone 4 with iOS 5 it shows correctly. My wife's iPad has the blank icon as well. Anyone else?  I know it's not a huge deal, just an OCD thing with me. I've tried restoring but nothing seems to fix it.  Hopefully it's not just me and my wife anyways.

    Hello everybody,
    I spend several hours last night and finally get it back to work.
    First what did not work:
    I connected the iPad with iTunes an click restore. But when it asked I choose restore from last backup. Even before any app or data where restored, the contacts crashed again.
    What works for me:
    Disabled all apps and data from synching with iTunes
    Click 'restore' in iTunes.
    I the middle of this process the iPad (not iTunes) asked about the restore mode.
    Choose option 'as new iPad'
    Then I got a new blank installation without external apps or data. But with working contacts.
    I set up my connection with exchange and other mail accounts.
    Then I enabled all apps and data (photos, music, podcasts) one by one and synch.
    Note: I am running a german version, so I dont know the exakt english names.
    Hope that helps. Good luck.

  • IOS 6.1.3 installed on iPad but no red circle with 1 on the Settings icon

    Hi,
    Looking at an iPad to buy on ebay and specifically want to get one with version 6.1.3 still installed. I emailed seller, they sent pic of the About screen in Settings which shows it's on this version (also, it's an iPad 4th Gen, 128GB, if that helps), but in pics of the item, displaying the icons, on the Settings icon there is NO red circle with the 1 in it. Why would this be? I've never seen this before (everyone I know still on this version, on either iPhone or iPad, has this little red circle with the 1 in it, obviously indicating the update, which none of us diehards wanna do, til we absolutely have to of course). Does this mean that this iPad is NOT upgradeable, ever? Would love some help on this, don't want to purchase this iPad until I know why that red circle ISN'T there.
    Thanks!

    Hello mom_5_01,
    The following article should be quite beneficial in your endeavor to update your iPad.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097
    You may encounter the following symptoms while updating or restoring your iPad:
    iPad continually restarts but never displays the Home screen.
    An update or restore did not complete and the iPad is no longer recognized in iTunes.
    iPad stops responding, showing the Apple logo with no progress bar or a stopped progress bar, for over ten minutes.
    If this occurs, you can place iPad into recovery mode and attempt to restore again. If iTunes displayed an alert with an error code, see this article before attempting the steps outlined here.
    Cheers,
    Allen

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

    Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied. 
    Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time.  My problem is now solved.
    The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.
