Strange app icon

Hi all,
I am new to this community, hope everyone is well!
The icon of one of my apps has suddenly gone missing, as shown below. I have already tried the following but does not work:
Restarting iPad
Reinstalling the app in iPad
Reinstalling the app using my PC's iTune
General | Settings | Reset | Reset Home Screen Layout
I would really appreciate if someone could let me know how to solve this issue. If possible I would prefer not to reset my iPad.
I have been researching this problem for quite a while. Apology if this question has already been answered in an earlier thread.
Many thanks in advance.

Yes, this is a glitch in which some of my friends have been having lately With the iOS 8 update. I believe there is no solution to this at them time, but I am sure that Apple will release an update soon with millions of bug fixes.
Does the Application still function correctly though?

Strange app icon appearance in library

Hey there,
I noticed a strange difference between the appearance of the app icons in my library (1st screenshot) and on the iTunes store (2nd screenshot). Can somebody else duplicate this issue. Any ideas to solve this?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Grey App Icon Appears. Reboot and apps appear on different screens

I've noticed a strange thing happening on my home screen. Sometimes, and it seems when apps are automatically being updated, a gray app icon with a circle and an 'x' appears on my home screen. It will not go away and you cannot select it.
My home screen consists of 14 app icons, the rest of the screen is empty. I do this to declutter my home screen.
When I reboot my phone, the grey icon is gone, but it fills up my home screen with other app icons from a different page. When I move them back over to the second page so that only 14 apps appear again and the rest is empty space, I reboot my phone again, and it fills up the home page with more apps (different ones).
Is anybody else experiencing this issue? I tried to take a screen print of the grey icon to post here on my iphone, but when I looked at the photo, it wasn't there (very strange).
What does this grey app icon represent?
Is this a bug in the software?

Changing App Icons

Hi
I know how to change an App icon in OS X, show package content then resources, then copy the new icon and name it same as old one,
after giving the old icon a different name, but although I do that icons doesn't change, or they change randomly maybe after few days a week
or never, before it was ok but since I used some beta for Yosemite a year ago this problem started to happen, is there any solution ?
strange thing is still my new icon is there with correct name and old icon is there with renamed name but still icon doesn't change in applications
folder or launchpad
Regards

I found it much easier to have my apps on the last page and let the pre-loaded apps stay where they are on the first couple of pages. While I'd prefer to have my apps first, at least they are all together. I found it far too much work to try to move them around another way, plus it shifts some things around in a way that I did not intend.
BTW, I definitely prefer the Fascinate's arrangement of the icons over the Droid X2, which is always in alphabetical order in a vertical non-stop continuum.

I was on a website all of a sudden my screen freezes I was able to get out of that screen after a few second and then noticed all my app icon disappeared I have an IPhone 5. Has this happened to anyone before?

That is very strange! Have you been able to get your apps icons back now? Have you attempted a soft reset by holding the power button and home button at the same time until the phone restarts? Keep me posted with the results!

Curve 9300 - Strange App Appeared - "AlternateApp"

A strange app has appeared on the applications screen (press and hold BB menu key and 6 icons are displayed). Alternate App is a blank icon and does not appear to do anything.
Anyone know what it does and how I can get rid of it??
I wonder if it is anything to do with running Android apps on the Playbook as I have found a reference to "AlternateApp" connected with that.
Bold 9790/Curve 9300

Hello,
What happened just before this icon appeared? A new app? An update of some kind? Something else?
Does a batt-pull reboot cure it?
I've seen that type of icon before, and as I recall it had to do with QuickPull...for some reason, sometimes QP would not load up properly during reboot, and that icon would be left behind. Another batt-pull reboot would normally cure it. I'm not saying that it's QP in your case...it's entirely possible that some other app could exhibit the same behavior.
I doubt it has anything to do with your suspicion...your not running any Android apps on your 9300, are you?
Let us know.

An email sent from my iMac has a button linked to a clip hosted on Vimeo. When received, the link functions on iMac and iPad, but opens a window of app icons on iPhone and iPod touch. Any ideas what's wrong?

For anyone else reading this thread, it is worth knowing that sometimes an email is, or can be, corrupted thereby jamming the works. The solution above is good, but I just wanted to suggest another one.
If the problem arises, go to an online mail access service, such as Mail2Web.com and login to you mail account there and delete the offending message.
Problem solved.
And George, as this is all entirely voluntary, whinging about no takers may not endear people to you. Besides which, a few minutes of searching on Google would have found you a number of solutions.

Anyone know how to delete an app icon bookmark?

I'm using an iPhone 4 with the 5.1 iOS. I downloaded an app for LG which turned out to be just a Safari bookmark with an app icon. It looks like a regular app but when you click it - Safari opens and it takes you to the LG webpage. Now I want to get rid of it and I can't. It doesn't appear in the list of apps in iTunes in the Sync Apps area, although it does show up on the phone and in the phone panel in iTunes. When I click on the app icon in itunes (in the phone panel) - it highlights it, but there's no X, and right-clicking doesn't do anything and pressing doesn't do anything either. It does not appear in my list of bookmarks in Safari either. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Thanks!

nevermind - figured it out. thanks anyway.

Next time you accidentally use 3 fingers it will zoom again. Unless you need the feature you're better to turn it off

I downloaded AirPlayIt yesterday from the app store. It was on my iPad yesterday. Today, however, the app icon does not appear on my home screen. When I go into apps it is there but it doesn't have an "Open" choice. There is only a cloud with an arrow pointing down. When I click on the app it pops up but there is no open button. How can I remove it? Tapping it won't work as it isn't on my home screen.

You'll have to contact the developer about this. Apple doesn't make this app;

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon in my dock was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted all my emails in my Outlook inbox.

PLEASE help!! I use Outlook for my email and the Mail App Icon that is in my dock, that I know nothing about, was also storing all my emails. So, I tried to delete ONLY the emails in the Mail App but somehow (under Preferences maybe?) I also deleted ALL my OUTLOOK emails in my inbox. Can someone please please tell me if there is a way to get my Outlook inbox emails back OR EVEN the emails that were in my Mail app - because even tho I never use the Mail app, at least the emails would be there.
When I was trying to delete the emails in my inbox for the Mail app - I followed THESE directions. It did in fact clear my inbox for the Mail app. But then I went to log on to my Outlook account and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL was gone. And not in the Deleted box. Just gone. Here are the directions I followed that screwed everything up. Please help.
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors.
Uncheck "Store deleted messages on the server".
At the drop list for "Permanently erase deleted messages when", choose "Quitting Mail".
Next...
Top menu bar, Mail > Preferences > General.
At "When searching all mailboxes, include results from", uncheck "Trash".
Select All = command A

i found out my prob!
here is what you do.
go to the "system preferences" on your dock.
click "software updates".
click "installed software"
if it shows something about a recent update about "EFI UPDATE, FIRMWARE, THUNDERBOLT" or anything like that, exit out of it.
go to mail.
click "mail" at the top.
click "preferences...".
find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
its something with that update that effected mail, i hope this works out for you, if not reply back

Having a problem with Ipad2 IOS 7 itunes moving app icons

When trying to move or reposition app ICONS in iTunes for my iPad2 it is extremely sluggish or won't let me select a home screen or icon to work with.
Sometimes all the home screens "disappear" from the window.
Did not have this problem with previous iTunes version 11.x.x before updating to the new 11.1 iTunes and IOS 7 on my devices.
My iphone 4s with IOS 7 does not have this problem, but is a little sluggish.
Running Windows XP on a very fast PC.
Thanks

While downloading select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unchecked. This seems to help with partial downloads...
The other issue doesn't ring any bells.
