Updated to IOS 5 and app icons are missing

I upgraded last night and now some of my app icons are missing. If I do a spotlight search and find the app I can then launch the app from there but I would like to have the icon back to use rather than a workaround.

After the IOIS 5.0 update my apps weren't showing on my device until I tabbed thru several screens on the phone. The only other issue was when I did a "restore" to new , not from backup because I was issues with the update (Bugs) Did a update and my apps didn't show until I did a " File" ................Transfer Purchases from Iphone.....with the device connected to ITunes...........then Sync................ Another possibility could be in the following link:

Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
2. Click "Download in the app store"
3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
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
8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

On my ipad, some of my purchased apps icons are missing. The app store indicates that the apps were purchased so i cannot install them again. How do I get the icons back?

- Are the apps missing or are the icons white?
- If missing have yu tried using the Spotlight search and trying to find them?
- Have you tried downloading them on your iPad and then syncing?
- Have you tried deleting them on the computer and then syncing? That might also delete them from the iPad so you can redownal them
- Have you tried reetting the iPad?
Reset iPad: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

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.

Some of my App icons are missing (Mail, iCal, Firefox)

Applications work, but they are missing their icons. It seem to be more and more icons with every restart. The icons are missing in Launchpad, dock and the Applications folder. Anyone having same problems

Try Rebuilding LaunchServices Database in OS X Lion to repair problems with incorrect icons
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt copy & paste in the following command in its entirety:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
You do not have to hit return
Just let the process run it's course, it will eventially put you back out at the prompt when complete (60-90 seconds.)
restart your mac.

I've tried resetting/restoring the iPod, and deleting and reinstalling apps, but still some show with no (that is to say only a white, blank) icon.
The same apps, synced fro the same Mac and account, look fine on my iPhone4.
Apps seem to work fine, it's only the icon that's missing.
iOS is up to date.
Any ideas?

My mail.app icons are missing

The icons (send, get mail, etc) at the top of my mail.app are missing.
If I click on the "search field", they will show up for a brief period, but then disappear again.

From the "View" menu > "Show Toolbar".
If you have selected more icons for your tollbar, than the toolbar can hold, click the ">>" to reveal the missing icons.
Or enlage the Mail window to make the toolbar longer.
Or customize it, to remove other icons.
Or set the toolbar to show only the icons and no text, to save space.

Forward and Back Icons Are Missing

I'm not sure what happened, I haven't been messing around with my settings, but perhaps one of my friends was when I wasn't paying attention. The forward and backward icons on the top left of the window are missing. I'd like to get those icon's back, but I'm not sure how.

Hi,
Right-click where the icons should be and choose 'Customize Toolbar...'. From the drop down sheet you can then drag the back/forward buttons back to where they were.
