Strange Problem: Apps disappeared for no apparent reason

I updated my 3GS the first day the 4.0 update came out. I didn't have any problems. This Tuesday (the 6th) I woke up after my alarm went off on my phone and all of my apps were gone! I hadn't done anything weird to my phone... I didn't plug it into iTunes or my computer the night before or even the week before. So I'm not sure why they mysteriously disappeared. Does anyone have an idea why this happened?

Was this phone ever jailbroken or hacked?

  • TS1702 What if permanent apps disappear for no apparent reason?

    I have the 3rd generation iphone and i have a very little number of apps.
    I've been looking for my youtube, safari, itunes and app store on my iphone and cannot find them on any of my pages.
    I've tried searching for them and cannot find them that way either.
    I can still access the wifi through google but if i wanted to save a webpage through google
    i'd have to go through the safari app and the missing safari doesn't load.
    I've also noticed my boughten apps i can move around like normal but i cannot delete them on my iphone.
    I've tried turning it off and turning it back on while holding the home button the ^volume button and the power button and it's still the same.
    On my computer, my itunes is updated.
    In itunes i have all my apps all updated and same as my iphone software.
    My iphone still is missing the 4 apps.
    But just a few hours ago ive decided to restore it,
    and even after restoration the 4 apps are still missing,
    and i cannot sync any of my purchased apps onto my iphone.
    But everything else, music, movies, photos, calenders, contacts, etc. are all there.
    How do i get my phone capable of syncing purchased apps from my comp again?
    How do i get my missing 4 apps back?
    What's wrong with my phone?
    How can i prevent it next time?

    You're welcome

  • TS3276 I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.

    I have no sound on my MacBook Air for sending and receiving messages. All sound settings have been checked and are OK. This problem has arisen many times and is intermittent in the sense that the sound returns and disappears for no apparent reason.

    Open System Preferences > Sound > Sound Effects
    Select:  Play user interface sound effects
    And make sure the Mute box is not selected.
    Now open Mail. From the Mail menu bar clik Mail > Preferences then select the General tab.
    Make a selection from the:  New messages sound  pop up menu.

    Hi perriejunn!
    They might actually be the same Apple ID. When you have an email and use it to log into iCloud it will create an iCloud alias for you. I have an @live.no appleID, which also has an @iCloud.com alias that are otherwise identical.
    If you log into applied.apple.com with the @gmail.com account you should see the @iCloud.com as an "alternate" email address.
    You might also have created a new iCloud account/Apple ID when you used iCloud the first time. Then this @iCloud.com will not be connected to you @gmail.com address or any other mail addresses. You can then log out of that Apple ID at Settings>iCloud and log in with this @gmail.com Apple ID and sync contacts.

  • I cannot hear callers unless using speakerphone. the phone is not on mute, the problem has started for no apparent reason and rebooting has not resolved the problem. Any ideas?

    My iphone 4 (Model MD128B/A) running iOS 7.1.2 has developed a problem when receiving calls, for no apparent reason. The caller can hear me, but unless I switch to speakerphone, I cannot hear them. The mute button still functions normally. I have rebooted the phone but this has not resolved the issue. Any ideas about how to resolve this problem? Thanks.

    Hello manleyjohn,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are unable to hear callers though the receiver on your iPhone 4 unless you change the sound to the speaker. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article and verifying that the troubleshooting steps have been completed. If the issue continues, it may be necessary to follow the link towards the bottom of the article and contact Apple Support. 
    If you can't hear a person on a call or voicemail or if the sound quality is poor on iPhone - Apple Support
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • No sound on HP Envy 14 Beats Edition. Sound disappeared for no apparent reason.

    HP Envy 14 Beats Edition laptop (product QE295UA#ABA) running Windows 7 Home Premium version 6.1 (build 7601, service pack 1).
    I don't recall running any software updates.  I've confirmed that  no mute buttons  are on.   I've tried the Windows troubleshooter for Playing Audio/Speakers and Headphones but the software does not detect any problems.  I've tried reinstalling the driver to no avail. 

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53001-53500/sp53281.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, shut down the notebook.
    Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f9 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f5, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
    Regards,
    DP-K

  • Drive space disappearing for no apparent reason.  what could be causing?

    As the subject says, I have an issue with space on my drive being filled by something throughout the day. If I restart, some but not all of the space willl come back and eventually I need to restart again because I'll have 0kb of available space. At that point, I can't get incoming mail, IMs etc. Any ideas as to what is going on? Any additional information I can give to help figure out the problem?
    This morning I had about 600MB free, it dropped to 0kb in the afternoon, I restarted and it was about 480MB and iit was empty again this evening. If you "get info" on the drive you can watch the space disappear. Please help!
    Thank you in advance

    That's a disaster waiting to happen! You need to keep roughly 15% free at all times!
    You need to delete some stuff immediately or you'll start losing data (if you haven't already), or worse!

  • Iphoto notification showing on the iphoto app icon for no apparent reason

    I can't get rid of the Iphoto notification showing on the iphoto app icon.  It shows "1" yet I have no accounts set up and therefore no photostream switched on.  The photo library is empty.   Any ideas?

    This is going on for me, and I've done this:
    http://i.imgur.com/ePrfAGP.png
    to fix it, with no results.  I'd like control over that icon, as my OCD is making me keep it out of the dock.  I know I can check on photostream to remove the icon, but I'd rather not have to.

  • Why are my photos disappearing for no apparent reason?

    During a recent project of putting our best family pictures from the past five years in a photo album, I noticed some of them are not really there. The small image is there, but when I click on it I get an error message that the picture is gone. Where did they go? And can I get them back? At first it was just a few pictures. Now it seems to be a lot of them like it's continuingly happening. Help!

    but when I click on it I get an error message that the picture is gone.
    So the exclamation point is the error message? I ask not to be pedantic, but you can get different error messages along with the exclamation point.
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

    I have a  iPad, 32g, and for no apparent reason, the screen goes black and whatever app I am using is closed on me. It seems to be happening more and more frequently, especially when loading apps, or trying to watch a YouTube video. I try to open safari or youtube again and it will often crash several times before it may or may not decide to load for me. It is extremely annoying and getting to the point where I can not use it

    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
    Power the iPad off and on.
    An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
    If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.

    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Stoe and sign out and then sign back in
    - Power off and then back on the router.
    - Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    Could just be an Apple problem. So far I have seen another post today with same problem.

    The buzzing stopped and I have the home screen up again.

    Whatever. Again, many thanks.
