Where is the Messages icon? How can I get it back?

Hi -
I have an iPhone5 running iOS 6.1.4.
Today I noticed that the Messages icon was gone. If I double hit the Home button it still shows as a recently used app - so I still can send and receive texts but the icon is not on the Home screen where it usually is.
I performed a Sync but Messages isn't on the list of apps anyway inside iTunes.
How do I get the Messages icon back?
TIA your input

The Messages app is a native iOS app and as such cannot be deleted. If you go to search screen and type it in, over to the right, does it identify a folder it is in. Usually this is what happens, it gets accidently dragged into a folder, or on another page. If you cannot find it that way, try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. After the phone restarts, see if you find it. If not, then go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Home Screen Layout. That should bring it back.

The iCloud setup is done inside the Settings app.

In mail, my attachments, both photos and documents appear in the body of the message. How can I get my attachments to appear as a separate attachment and not as part of the message. Thanks for your help, Karen.

Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
I completely agree.

In Mail, my message preview used to be shown to the right side of the messages. Now it is showing below the messages. How can I move it back to the right?

Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, so unless you copied it over to the Books part of your computer's iTunes library before you deleted it (in which case case you could sync it back to your phone), then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download of it : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I no longer have any albums on ipad - where have they gone and how can I get them back.

I have "lost" my photo albums on the ipad. They were they and now they are gone. How can I get them back.

Albums are logical entries in the iPhoto database - you need to restore fromyour backup to get them back

Hi all,
I purchased a iphone 4 and replaced my iphone 3. I started using the 4 before syncing the 3 because I didn't know how to do this. I just figured out how to sync and was successful however, I have now lost all data (list of to do's, calendar, photos (etc...) that went on the 4 before the sync. How can I get the data back?
Best!

YOur data maybe gone, unless you did a backup of your phone, which doesn't sound like you did.

In elements 11 all my icons are missing under the expert tab in the panel bins, How can I get these back?

I'm using Photoshop Elements 11 and I'm wanting to add some effects and graphics. I went under the expert tab and the panel bin for the effect and graphics seems like it's not loading the icons/options, it's just blank. How can I get the panel bin to display the effects and graphics options?

Go to
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0
and delete the
ThumbDatabase.db3
Then go to
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\11.0\Locale\en_us
and delete the
MediaDatabase.db3
Then start the photoshop elements 11 editor and wait till the effects database rebuilds, which could take awhile, like 10 to 20 minutes, so just pse 11 idle so to speak until it completes.
