Someone may have already had this, but here's the problem: APPS DISAPPEAR FROM THE LAST PAGE Try this, even if you have hardly any programs installed, you can recreate this problem. First rearrange apps so that page 10 is full (16 applications). Even if you have only a single app on each of the other pages, if you drag a 17th app to page 10, the last app on page 10 will disappear. I even did this with Notes- which is a native (not able to be uninstalled) app - and now it is nowhere to be found. I can still access it by seaching for the word "notes" from Spotlight.

Others have recommended resyncing the app, but Notes is not one of the apps able to be sync'd so I'm SOL. Still looking for a way to get it back without having to go a complete restore. This is VERY LAME. Come on Apple, get it together!!!!

My AppStore icon is missing ever since original 3.0 update (still with latest) .. I restored factory defaults and I got the icon back but as soon as I sync my last backup (with all my messages, contacts, etc.) the app store icon disappears again. So glad Apple doesn’t have bugs [sarcasm]

I had this problem and the eaiest way I have found is to go to SETTINGS>RESTRICTIONS>ENABLE then go back and DISABLE. Poof!! They all re-appear. Hope this helps?

Follow the tip in link from post #55. Works fine without the need of any restore or app data loss.

I started having this problem after i upgraded too. maybe it doesn't like certain apps? so i deleted the latest apps that had caused the problems... still problem was there... so i took wolfmore's advice: I went into settings, General, Reset, and did a Reset All Settings and that fixed it.

worked like a charm.
