The iTunes app has suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5s on 7.0.2

The iTunes Store app has mysteriously vanished from my iPhone 5s running 7.0.2. It was literally there one minute and gone the next: I checked the phone, locked it, then had to check something else and when I unlocked the icon was missing.
So far I have tried:
A full system search - the app does not appear in the universal search list.
Tried getting Siri to launch it - Siri replies that it cannot find an app called iTunes.
Checked restrictions in the general settings - restrictions are off.
Done a full wipe and restore from a backup prior to the app going missing - iTunes app still not present.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Well, just to tie this one up I'll say that the problem resolved itself. About three weeks after posting this question the iTunes app mysteriously reappeared. I did not do anything to try and get it back and the phone had not updated any software for a while. I have no idea why it disappeared or why it reappeared but there we go; maybe it fancied a holiday?

  • HT204266 my facetime app has mysteriously disappeared from my iphone screen I did not remove it can someone let me know is this common and can I still use facetime?

    My facetime app has disappeared from my iphone screen.  I did not do anything for it to disappear so what happened?

    On the iPhone there is no FaceTime app or icon for it.
    FaceTime is integrated into iOS.
    You access it through contacts.

  • Yahoo mail has suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5 inbox

    I've had Yahoo email on my AT&t iPhone 5 for a year. Yesterday, with no action on my part, and no changes to the settings on my iPhone, all my Yahoo emails disappeared from my iPhone inbox, and no new emails sent to my Yahoo email address are appearing there. The Gmail inbox on my phone is fine. I can access my Yahoo mail on a browser, but not on in my iPhone inbox. I have reset network settings, deleted my Yahoo mail account, re-booted the iPhone, and re-added the Yahoo account. Nothing helps. I have no idea if the problem resides with Apple, Yahoo, or AT&T. Has anyone had the same problem? What can I do?

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously bad. Yahoo will have to fix the problem. It's not an Apple problem, or an AT&T problem (except for the fact that AT&T chose to contract their email service out to one of the worst providers on the planet).
    Try downloading and using the Yahoo mail app from the app store.

  • The Camera app is suddenly missing from my iPhone, how do I get it back?

    My camera app is suddenly missing from my phone.. how do I get it back or find it? it's not in any 'folders' -- Same with my Safari app--  Not sure if my 2 yr old deleted it? I didn't think those were deletable apps.

    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.

  • My youtube app has suddenly disappeared from my home screen of my ipod 5g. How do I get it back?

    Suddenly I can no longer find my youtube app icon. If I search my ipod it does show up and I can open it. If I go into the App Store it shows under purchased and I can also open it from there. But the icon is missing from my home screen. I looked in settings under restrictions but youtube is not listed. I even looked under utilities to see if I accidentally dragged it there but it's not there. Where could it be?

    SInce in iOS 6 YouTube is now not included in the iOS there is not Restriction setting for YouTube.
    I would connect the iPod to your computer and then go to the Apps pane for the iPod in iTunes and find the YouTube app and move it to where you can find it. 

  • FaceTime icon suddenly disappears from my iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    I have noticed that the FaceTime app has suddenly vanished from my iphone 4S. I have seen few similar posts on the Apple Support community about the same issue and have tried most of the solutions but none of them seem to address the nature of the problem that I have. Can anyone help.

    Unfortunately, Apple has no official presence in Pakistan. Therefore, support issues
    must be worked out with your wireless provider. As mentioned above, there are reports
    of wireless providers updating their settings to disable/remove FaceTime. Pakistan is one
    of the locations mentioned in these fora.
    Suggest you work with your wireless provider or see if Google can point you to a potential
    solution.

  • My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer. When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist

    My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer.
    When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist anymore. I did not have time machine set up, so there is no back up. Is there any way i can retrieve my library?
    Here is a picture of what appears when i click on iPhoto:

    In terms of searching i have searched for photos on my finder. However, none of the photos that appear are from my iPhoto Library.
    Search with FindAnyFile. You can download it here:   http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    Search for any file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the name. If you added at least one image to your library, the library should contain a file with this name, see OldToad's post: Re: Since I updated to iPhoto 9.5.1, my library is not listed or available. How can I find it? Can I use the time machine to restore it?

  • Why has safari suddenly disappeared from my iPhone

    Why has Safari suddenly disappeared from my iPhone?

    It is not possible to delete Safari, it may have moved to a different screen.  Do a search for the app or you can click on your settings>general>reset then select reset home screen layout. 

  • Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

    Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

    A new version shouldn't do that but it does seem to happen on occasion to a few unlucky ones.  Restore your library from the backup you make of your computer before you install new software.  If you don't have one, this is a learning experience.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • HT204023 The personal hotspot has been disappeared in my iphone 4s when i turned on it. how to retrieve it again....

    The personal hotspot has been disappeared in my iphone 4s when i turned on it. how to retrieve it again....

    What phone company do you use. There needs to be more information about what is exactly going wrong. Becasue if you are in the USA then the hotspot feature can be turned off and on by the carrier, Such as what Verizon does, if you do not pay for the feature. If that is not the issue then there would have to be a software problem, which there are a few solutions to. One being take it to the apple store and letting them fix it, if it is not an issue with your phone company

  • Why has FaceTime disappeared from my iPhone 4?

    I've had an iPhone 4 for a couple of months now and I've used FaceTime several times. It has completely disappeared from my phone. It is not available A's an option from any contact. I also told a friend of mime to FaceTime call me and he called but I never received the call. Someone please help.

    I too had this problem for a few months till I figured it out.  If you once had FaceTime and now FaceTime has completely dissapeared from your setting, then you might want to try going to:
    settings--->General----->Restriction---> and making to allow Camer and Facetime, ( turned ON) .  By not allowing camera , it automatically turns off facetime.

  • My Notes for 2013 just suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5

    NOTES app: All my notes entered for 2013 have disappeared from my iPhone 5 & my iPad 2. What happened? Can they be retrieved?

    There is no way to retrieve something if it doesn't exist somewhere. But from the way that you describe this situation, maybe it is just a fluke kind to thing with iCloud. I assume that's how you keep your notes in sync if the same thing happened on both devices. Before you start trying iCloud fixes, try this.
    This is a stab in the dark, Close the notes app and reboot your iPad. See if the missing notes reappear.
    Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the Notes app then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
