I accidentally deleted my app store icon. How do i get it back? I've tried syncing to my computer, but that's not working.

Oh, it is not impossible. I deleted mine. I have been trying to get it back for a very long time and nothing is working! I search....it is not there. I turned off getting new apps in parental controls, and I forgot the passcode, and now I can't figure out how to reset the passcode or get the app store back.

Have you gone into Settings > General > Restrictions and checked to see if you have 'Installing Apps' set 'off' ? That would hide the App Store app

This solved the problem! The only suggestion which worked!

I followed the advice but it didn't wotk

Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.

If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.

You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions.

This was MOST helpful!

Can't delete it.

It's on another screen or in a folder.

On the Home screen, swipe left to right and search for it.

HI wyowoman 1971

IM just wondering if you managed to get an answer to your post bec I've done the very same thing and for the love of god I cnt remember my passcode I've tried over 50 times and the best thing about it is I use the same passcode for everything it's doing my head in

Just deleted the App Store app but followed your instructions and ....it's back. Thanks ...

Go to the settings icon...then go to general...then go to reset...Then go to reset home screen layout. This will not delete any of the apps you have added and will get you back your app icon.

will it change anything?
