Uhh... My iPhone just deleted essential apps?

Can you give a little more detail? What essential apps? How were they deleted? What did you do just before this happened? Where have you looked for them?

My iphone just deleted all of my future calendar events and I am unable to retrieve them via icloud or anything else???

My iphone just deleted all of my future calendar events and icloud and any other method has failed to bring them back...any help would be great!

Have you checked that all of the calendars were checked, so they displayed? In the Calendar app, select "Calendars" at the bottom and make sure they are all checked. In the IOS Settings, make sure the right accounts are there.

Hello there, SamanthaYikwai.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps to try for reinstalling an app:
iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
Reinstall the app
Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
Delete the app.
Press the Home button.
Go to the App Store and download the app again.
Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
If the download stops, you can resume it.
If the issue persists, then you may want to try and sync the application to your iOS device using your computer by following the information in this article, under the section "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC":
Download past purchases

My iPhone randomly deleted all apps! What's going on? :-/

My iPhone 5 randomly deleted every app after it ran out of battery - but when I check the storage it only has 212mb available... What's going on?! Where did my apps go? I can't even redownload as the phone flags up there's no available storage space!

Set it up as new device, as explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device

IVE TRIED EVERYTHING IT LOOKS LIKE THIS

The newest iTunes update for the iPhone just deleted at least 15 paid apps

I'm not here to be scolded or have any of the sarcastic or "holier than thou" replies said to me. So cut it out and be serious and save me your self righteous indignation.
Problem: In the middle of updating I experienced an error at the VERY last second of updating that showed me a usb plug and the iTunes image. I researched what this was and found out the problem.
*Item 1.)* all songs lost. So what, I am through with you iTunes, I've backed up and saved so many times without you even validating that fact. I've backed up and without fail somehow all songs have been lost in one way or another so I've come to terms I can't be happy when it comes to having songs. If I don't update I'll never get the new features, if I do update I'll lose all songs on my iPod. (also don't give me the "you need to back up" speech, I know, I accidentally deleted my backup hd and now it is serving as my time machine, however this also permanently makes it useless for windows even after "de-activating" it as a time machine)
*Item 2.)* all applications lost.
*Item 3.)* Able to recover 3%out of 100% of applications:
a. For some reason I've backed up my iPhone every time I've connected and also for some unknown reason it decided to tell me my most recent backup was from two months ago. Negating all paid applications I've made for the past two months. This, to say the least is very agitating. Not only am I angry because I lost all of them, I have no way for the iTunes store to have a shred of sympathy and replace the paid applications even though I have all of the email receipts. (if you know a way to contact them so that I can plead my case, although I've done this before and they basically told me to shove off, please direct me to the proper places to inform them)
I'm not trying to be so mean/mad/uninformed on these subjects but I love apple and their products but their failure to help me every time I mess up is disheartening because their system is set up so that I can't mess up. If I do I'm screwed and need to start over. This will be the 30th or so time I've had to start all over and I'm sick of it. Bloody sick of it.

UPDATE: For some reason it specifically elminated 4 applications, twitterfon pro that was updated to ecofon pro, camerazoom (which was $12.00), and my reddit application.
I'm thinking it failed to finalize the most recent update which resulted in deletion of my applications.

On the way to work this morning my iPhone just deleted all my contacts.

I was using it the next this i know all my numbers had been deleted and my favourite contacts page just has the number as do all my texts.
What's happened? Why has this happened?
I can't just back it up because it's an old phone im using until i can afford to get my iphone4 fixed as the thing just stopped working one day aswell and wanted restoring which would be great had it been backed up in 6 months, which it had not...This was due to my main computer being in storage from a house move.
Quite fed up of 'just restore it' they shouldnt really just fail sporadically and frequently in the first place...
Thank you if anyone knows anyway of bringing them back or explaining that would be great.

All contacts on your iPhone should be available in an address book app on your computer - an address book app that is supported for syncing contacts with your iPhone. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for your contscts, which can be lost or stolen or have a software problem with all contacts randomly being deleted. First I've heard of this.

Did Apple just delete my app remotely?

I had an app that I hardly ever used on my iPhone, but when I went to look for it today it was gone. I checked my iTunes app library and it was gone from there as well. Then I checked my previously purchased apps and it was gone from there as well. Finally I checked the app store for the app to no avail.
This was an app that I paid money for no matter how small the amount (99 cents).
I've heard that Apple has the code in iOS to do this (the "kill switch") so I'm guessing Apple had some problem with this app developer, but am I getting a refund?

It is doubtful Apple remote killed your app. Though there is a kill switch I am not aware of it ever being used; it is surmised it would only be used if malware ever got through the screening process for apps. I have a copy of the "banned" Netshare available for a short time a couple years ago and it has never disappeared (and yes, I did just check in case!) Do you have any kids? My 6 year old just told me he has helped me out by re-organizing my iPad; I have so many apps that I could easily be missing a few from accidental hits of the "x" during that process, perhaps your app had a similar fate? But I guess that would not delete it from your iTunes. What was the app?

IPhone backup deleted purchased apps

ok, new laptop. realized my apps weren't being backed up. Checked off that tab in Sync section.
iTunes asked, transfer from iPhone to computer? Yes.
Then iTunes deleted half the apps from my iPhone, saying they weren't authorized, and backed up not a single one.
My .me account shows purchases for every single one of the apps.
< Edited by Host >

But will you not be charged again? I downloaded RDM+ ($15.00) to give me remote access to my desktop and it worked fine for a month. I then downloaded the Premos game calling app for fun and now it's not working as well. (.99)
Why is Apple making it so hard to maintain these apps? The RDM+ is very important that I be able to use.

So when I first got my phone I had kik and tumblr on it but when I tried to update it my phone just deleted the apps . Now when I try to re install them it won't let me and has a box in the corner that says 17 Ireset my phone,deleted all my apps plz help

I reset my phone , made a new account even deleted all my apps but nothing works . How do I remove the restrictions if any for the 17+ apps ? Pleasee help !

It's set in Settings/General/Restrictions. You will need the Restrictions passcode to access the setting. Presumably someone placed the restriction on your phone. You need to talk to whomever set the restriction if it wasn't you.

HT3702 I need to get a refund on a app that I have deleted over a month ago that I was just charged for! I thought that by deleted the app and going to the app to unsubscribe that I would stop geting charged for it but I'm still being charged

I need someone to refund me my money

Hi Denise ...
iTunes Store: Purchasing and managing auto-renewing subscriptions
Just deleting an app from a computer or device doesn't unsubscribe the auto renew function. That is the buyers respsonsibility after purchasing the app.
And, Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" > iTUNES STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS

For some reason my email inbox has just deleted everything in my inbox on my phone!!!

I assume you've entered your password correctly? But it keeps popping up or time out?
What type of email account is that? Gmail, iCloud, Yahoo, or some individual domain/host/whatever, or an Exchange account?

How to delete an app permantely from the ipad

does anybody know the answer to this question

Do you mean more than just deleting the app, where you hold your dinger on the app until it jiggles and you tap the x to remove the app from your home pages, but also from your purchased list in the App Store? If that is your question, once apps are purchased, they are yours forever, which is why they stay in the purchased list. But, if you want to hide it, you can hide it in iTunes on your computer. This link will show you how:

If you want to delete a native app, such as Videos, Music, iTunes, etc., you can not do that.

Backup Assistant just deleted 900+ contacts from my iPhone4s

Downloaded the app. allowed access and it up loaded 37 contacts, deleting the other 900+ contacts.
It also deleted the last year's worth of notes.
Suggestions on how I retrieve all of the information I've been so careful to maintain for the last ten years?

I just deleted the app, restarted my phone and no contacts were restored.
However, after waiting another ten minutes they showed up again.
Notes have now reappeared as well.
I am relieved, but still disappointed that the "backup" works so poorly.

PLEASE HELP; Updating iPhone 4 without losing apps or data

Hi,
I want to update my iphone 4 but when I try it notifies me that I will lose the apps that are currently on the phone. This is after I've synced my iphone with the iTunes on my mac in order to back it up.
If I click to sync Apps through iTunes, it tells me it will delete what is on the phone to match what is saved on my computer (there are apps saved on the computer which I have since deleted off my phone..!) So how do I back up my phone apps and save them from being deleted when I update the operating system?
I remember when macs were quite straight forward and simple to use, but now I am almost always confused when I try to do something!!
Will be grateful for any advise, thanks!

Sync Apps under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes should have been selected from the start and remain selected. This way after downloading an app direct with your iPhone the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. And you can download an app with iTunes on your computer, select the app under the Apps tab folllowed by a sync to install the app on your iPhone. To remove an app from your iPhone without deleting the app, deselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app on your iPhone again later, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. If you restore your iPhone with iTunes if wanted or needed, all apps are in your iTunes library to be reinstalled on your iPhone.
With your iPhone connected, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
After confirming all apps on your iPhone are now in your iTunes library, select Sync Apps followed by making sure all apps on your iPhone are selected below before sycning.
