This morning 90% of my apps were missing from ipad2

Last night all of my apps were there, at last check I was using around 75% of the 32G memory. Some random apps remain and all data that's backed up on the Cloud is there as well.... any clue what this could have been and how to fix it? It's been a bit since I've backed up, so that isn't my favorite choice. Also, I swipped left and typed in some names of apps - nothing came up.....
Please help!

Backing up is what you SHOULD do and it is not something that you should avoid.
Have you tried rebooting the iPad just to see if this is some kind of a fluke? I just don't see how apps can disappear for the device.
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 - let go of the buttons.

All of my apps were deleted from my apple id

Somewhere between updating my phone, changing my gamecenter email and password, or transferring pictures from my phone to my computer, my apps were deleted from my apple id. I'm not talking about deleted from my phone, I mean from my apple id. I am 110% sure this is the same apple id that I purchased everything on.
It started with me trying to update 2 apps after getting done transferring pictures last night, and it wouldn't let me. I tried a bunch of solutions and none worked. I downloaded Spotify to my phone no problem, but still couldn't update Clash of Clans and Twitch. Then I went to updates>purchased>my name, and saw my only purchased app was spotify. I was confused because it was still my same apple id, I didn't log into a new one. Then I deleted twitch and clash of clans from my phone and was able to download them. I can use them no problem, but that's not really the problem. The problem is any app that is on my phone won't be able to update when an update comes out, which some of those apps I had purchased with my money.
Two or three days ago I had tried to update my phone from my computer, only to have it go into recovery mode. To make a long story short, the problem was the usb port on my computer, so I changed to another one and it updated fine. I figured that was the end of my problem, but I can't remember if I tried to update any apps since then (other than the 2 last night when I found out this problem).
Last night I changed my gamecenter email and password to the same email and password on my itunes account and icloud account (although I think itunes and icloud are the same thing but I'm not sure). No problems there, everything worked fine. Then later on I hooked my phone up to my computer and itunes told me something about this phone not being used with this computer before (it has definitely been used before). Then it told me to fill in my information, so I put in my address, state, zip. I didn't really think anything of it. After finishing with the pictures, I grabbed my phone and saw two updates (see paragraph 2 for what happened next).
I ended up just going to sleep last night to deal with it today. So today what I did was restored from the backup I did right after updating my phone a couple days ago. That did not fix my problem (I didn't think it would since even on my computer itunes is showing my only apps are the four that I downloaded today/last night (clash of clans, spotify, twitch, and alien blue)). The thing that angers me is when I go on itunes, click on the three dots on top left near music, movies, etc, apps, my apps, it shows all of my purchased apps on my phone. When I right click it tells me who purchased it (99% of them say the same apple id that I am logged into that is only showing the four purchased apps, the other ones are from family sharing). Also when I look at my itunes folder on my computer, it shows all of the apps saved to my computer.
Like I said, for now I can still use the apps, but once an update comes I won't be able to anymore. Sky guide, camera+, night cam, and true skate (and 2 maps on true skate) are what I bought with my money.
So my 2 questions are:
-What caused this to happen/how can I avoid this happening again?
-Am I just supposed to buy those 4 apps again even though I purchased them on this apple id?

Well I figured out my problem lol
Email a- original apple id email
Email b- original gamecenter id
Email c- the new gamecenter id
Email d- the temporary email for switching stuff
So originally I had Email a for apple id and icloud, and Email b for gamecenter. I wanted my gamecenter and apple id to be the same. Well today I went on my moms phone and saw that I was still on family sharing under Email d. That's when it hit me, your gamecenter, apple id, and icloud are the same account. By switching my gamecenter id to Email a, I turned that into my new apple id. Now my apple id is back to normal, and my gamecenter is Email c (I don't use Email b anymore so that's why I wanted to switch it).
Basically, my problem was being stupid enough not to think that your gamecenter was connected to your apple id. My problem came from switching my gamecenter email. So that's how to avoid this, don't be an idiot and think your gamecenter is a whole different account. For anyone who ever has this problem, that's why it happened haha.

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone number but only from my email address. When I go to the settings for my imessages to choose where they are coming from my phone number is greyed out....Is there a way to fix this

All of a sudden this morning my iphone will not send imessages from my phone....

Hi Chas869,
Hmm, that is strange that your phone number is greyed out. There are a few things that we can try. First would be to turn iMessages off, then back on. See if you are able to select your phone number. Then if that doesn't work, turn iMessages back off, then reset the network settings....settings>general>reset>reset network settings, this will reboot the phone. Don't worry, it won't delete anything from the phone, it simulates a battery pull. Once the device comes back on, then turn iMessages back on. Keep us posted if that works!

Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3

Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F37)
I just found an answer !
I had moved my computer into another room and had to turn up the brightness, as I have always had it on the lowest setting. In doing so it created the noise, I turned it right down and it stopped. I have now set it about level 3 so it's not so distracting.
thanks

I just updated and synced my phone and now all of my music and apps are missing from my phone and my computer! *** do I do?, I just updated and synced my phone and now all of my music and apps are missing from my phone and my computer! *** do I do?

i had the same fright
The update takes a LONG time... but with the new system, you can keep using your phone during the update, so it doesnt FEEL like it is updating...
you have probably interrupted the update, just like I did
plug your phone in... "continue the update" or hit the sync button to psh it in... and leave it there
unless you have enabled sync over wifi (which still only works when you are plugged in)
just be patient... and there shouldbe a flashing "synching" symbol at the top of your phone screen

I downloaded iOS 5 and then I found my Apps were missing. So then I looked it up on the web then found the fix. The only problem is that half the apps I downloaded are gone. One of my favorite, Angry Birds, which I bought is also gone.

I need help! I downloaded iOS 5 on my iPod 3rd generation after backing EVERYTHIGN up 4 times and I think I might have synced it. But just forget that I synced anything. So then when I tried to Restore Back-up it DID NOT work. This was my first time using iTunes, and I ALWAYS download throught the APP store. So then I found the fix online. I actually found 3 different ways:
A). Go to the App store and then go to 'UPDATES' then go to Purchased and download everything you need.
- This didn't work for halfmy apps.
B). Go to the iTunes store, go to File > Sync iPod then wait a LOOOOOOOOONG time.
- This also did not work, and not just in the case of my missing apps, all my apps were just sitting there. Nothing happened. I deemed this as USELESS.
C). I have a premonition that this option should work, but I can't find it. I have to go to the SUMMARY tab under device settings then click restore. The onlyproblem is, I CAN'T FIND IT! It probably should work.
BOTTOM LINE: Some of my favorite Apps such as Angy Birds and Madden NFL '11 are now gone. I have no idea what happened. And my backed-up iPod on iTunes only has like 14 apps out of 100sof Apps.
PLEASE HELP - SLL ANSWERS GET 5 POINTS

Have you looked on all the pages of your iPod? Have you looked in all your folders? Have you you tried finding the apps using the iPod's search page.
PS: Offering points in advance is a violation of there terms of service for this forum. Perhaps it's why you have not received any other answers so far,

Time Machine did not restore my MacBook Pro, many iOS apps were missing and replaced with "?" in the dock.

Hi all,
This weekend I had issues restoring my MacBook pro using Time Machine. I was left with question marks in the dock for the folloing apps in Bold, the others are not on the dock but they could not be found..
1. Safari
2. LaunchPad
3. Missing Control
4. Mail
5. System Preferences
6. Photo Booth
7. Terminal
8, Itunes
9. Disk Utility
10. iText Express
11. Notes
12. Maps
13. XCode
14. iPhoto
15. Calendar
They were not in Finder, and as the Lauchpad icon was not there I could not check there either. Spotlight was not showing them either. They simply were not there on the Mac.
I checked on Time Machine and they could not be found there either. I don't believe they were backed up by Time Machine in the first place. I do not have any programmes or applications excluded in the TM preferences.
Its interesting that all my 3rd party apps were there, all the missing ones are from the Maverics iOS.
I ended up having to reinstall Mavericks via a VERY SLOW internet connection and hey presto, everything came back to normal.
It was a very tense few hours as I thought I had lost the lot, photo's and itunes collections etc.
Time Machine is sold to us by Apple as the perfect solution to keep your data safe and recoverable.... Really?
I do like Apple products, but this has left me a little unsure about them now, its like the trust and confdence goes when you catch your child stealing and lying to you...The confidence will come back but I guess I will always be a little warey now..
Apple, please do something about this - I have paid through the nose for a robust system that I can rely on, not one that has aged me by 10 years...

It appears only the applications where missing. So your own data were safe all the time. However...
There appears to be a bug in Time Machine that causes it to exclude items that aren't supposed to be excluded. To check if that is the case, you can find more information here: http://pondini.org/TM/D10d.html
It appears the bug is very difficult to reproduce, mainly because in most cases it is only discovered when people try to restore an existing installation.

Did anyone have issues trying to watch or even see the final game of the playoffs this morning on the nhl app?

Hi
I've just purchased the apple tv.
I mainly purchased it for the NHL as I was fed up watching hockey via my mac on my tv.
I am using unblock-us.
This morning I wanted to watch game 5.
I switched on the apple tv, went to the nhl app and selected todays games, it gave me the option for last nights/early this mornings game.
I selected the game, but it did nothing. It did not give me the option for the game, condensed game or highlights.
In the end I found the game via the NHL on my mac and watched it on apple tv via my mac.
I checked just an hour ago and now the three game options are available to watch via the apple tv app.
Did anyone share a simular issue?
Does anyone have any good tips for using the NHL app on Apple tv? Would be nice to know in advance for next season.
Thanks in advance.

Apps tab missing from Creative Cloud Desktop

Hello and thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
I'm running Creative Cloud on Mac OS 10.9.5. A couple days ago I updated several of the apps through the Creative Cloud Desktop app in the menu bar. The apps updated and they all seem to run fine, but now the Apps tab is missing altogether from the CC Desktop Window, and it's even missing from the CC Desktop preferences. (Please see the screenshots.) Also, when I click on the "Install Adobe Apps" button in the CC Desktop window, nothing happens.
I've un-installed -> re-downloaded -> re-installed CC Desktop several times, along with trying some of the other troubleshooting suggestions I've found here on the Adobe site, such as:
restarting the computer
logging out of CC Desktop then back in again
deleting the opm.db file
deleting the CoreSync folder
deleting the AdobeAAMDetect plugin
Nothing seems to fix it. As I mentioned, the applications all seem to running fine, but I'd like to know that CC Desktop is functioning as intended and keeping me up to date. Any other suggestions?
Thanks again...

Many programs are missing from the computer, when new user account was created the icons were question marks and failed to do anything when clicked.
There are now 5 lines going vertical across the screen, the iSight has stopped working. Many different forums have linked the lines and broken iSight toghether as a massive hardware failier due to production errors. I can't figure out why all of these apps are missing and why Software Update refuses to update them and fix the problem. i would do a factory restore if the disk wasn't lost.

Do you mean your original install disk or the Snow Leopard disk is missing?
If it's the original install disk, you can call Apple, give them your serial number, and they should be able to send you replacement disks for a nominal charge. If it's the Snow Leopard disk, you could easily buy one for $29 or less retail.
Software Update will only update apps that are already on your Mac - if they are missing, they can't be updated. I'd normally suggest that you download the 10.6.7 combo updater from the Apple download site; however, since you are having multiple problems, updating a messed up system is not a good idea. So, it would be best to get either of the disks, back up your hard drive or, at least, your important files, and then verify/repair the hard drive and reinstall.

17 app rating missing from my settings so I can't check it off

17+ app rating is missing from my setting so I can't check it off.

Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Accounts
select account, at bottom is delete account.
This will remove the account, you may still have a security profile at Settings>General>Profiles. You should delete that as well.
Once removed, all base Apple settings should be available.

The Safari and Camera apps are missing from my iPhone.

I had a problem with restoring my purchased apps on my iPhone. With help I was able to get them restored. However, now the original apps are missing - camera and safari. It's possible there are more, but I can't remember all those that were original with the phone.

I would check your other apps folders and see if it was misplaced in there. IF you still can't find it, then go to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout.

TS4196 Messages app is missing from my Mac. What happened?

Pretty sure I used it earlier this week.
If I recall, I had a beta version. I THOUGHT I paid a modest fee, like $1 for it later. But now, it is missing from my Macs.
I DO have it on my iPod Touch.
But there was not announcement about it being removed from my mac. And I can't find anything on Google about it.

You are correct that Messages was in Beta. However, it was free. If you paid for it, it wasn't from Apple. As for it disappearing, Apple may have removed it in an update or you may have deleted it. Either way, I do believe that the final version of Messages will appear on both Lion and Mountain Lion.
