The app store is missing form my phone

is it possible for someone to remove the app store from a phone

No.
It is likely on another page, in a folder, or you have restrictions set.
Check all of these.

  • How do I get the app store icon back on my phone?

    I accidentally deleted the app store icon on my phone and can't figure out how to download it back on to my phone

    Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted.  Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
    Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
    If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • HT204266 How to purchase something from the app store using multiple forms of payment at one time?

    I am trying to purchase Final Cut Pro from the AppStore in multiple forms of payment. And I am just a bit confused as to how to accomplish this. I recieved an Apple Gift card of half the cost of the program, and I wanted to use that then pay the difference of the cost with a credit card. How do I set this up? I need to download the program tonight, so if someone in the community could get back to me ASAP, that would be greatly appreciated.

  • How can I make the app store charge purchases to my phone bill?

    I just switched from an android to an iPhone.  In the android market it gives you the option of charging app purchases to your billing account, but I can't seem to find that option on iPhone, it only let's you pay through credit card.  Is there any way I can change the settings so that it charges to my bill instead of me having to enter the credit card information?

    No means to do so.

  • My icon for clock and APP Store are missing. How can I restore them?

    I think a family member  inadvertently deleted several built in apps. I tried.syncing with I cloud and my PC, but was unable to restore them. I know the clock app and the app store are missing. Do I have to reset to factory defaults or is there some easier way to recover these?

    There is no built in clock app on the iPad.
    Check Settings>General>Restrictions and if you have restrictions enabled, you may have disabled installing apps and the app store icon will not be present on the iPad.
    Swipe from screen to screen to look for it if it isn't restricted.
    You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • App Store is missing in Snow Leopard.

    I am running OS X 10.6.8 and the App Store is missing. I have tried multiple reinstalls but it does not help. I want to upgrade to Mountain Lion but can't do without the App Store. I have contacted support and they are of no help. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Then I would advise that it is time to backup your stuf and use the Snow Leopard install DVD and erase your Mac, install Snow Leopard and then use the update combo in the link above to bring it up-to-date with 10.6.8. Migrate your stuff from the backup. Then use the Mac App Store to buy either Mt Lion or Maveriscks which should be out by the and of the month and upgrade. If your Mac can run OS X Mt Lion 10.8.x, then it should be able to run OS X Maveriscks 10.9.

  • Can't search in the App Store

    When I try to search for anything in the App Store, nothing will ever show up.
    When I'm on Facebook and there is a "suggested app" if I click it to go to the App Store, it just freezes my phone!.
    Just want to know if I'm the only one having this problem
    Thanks

    I am from Wisconsin and just got my ipone 5 on Oct 10th and I was able to search for apps but then all of a sudden on the next day, it wouldn't do any searching nor does it still search today. I've restarted my phone many times and it doesn't work. I've read some other posts online and they say it might be a server problem.

  • I lost my iphone can I get my apps back that I purchased at the app store?

    I lost my iphone... How do I get the apps that I purchased at the app store  on to my new phone if they weren't backed up on my computer?

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    From that link...

    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer

  • HT201269 I thought I had a problem after my iPhone suddenly lost an app, I restored from a back up and am now missing some apps. They appear on my I tunes page and say 'open' in the app store, but aren't on the phone. Help,

    I was using my iPhone and 'lost' an app. I restored my phone from an earlier backup, but now can't see some of my apps. They are shown as being on the phone in both iTunes and the app store, but clearly aren't on the phone.
    Where have I gone wrong.
