Iphone crashed and apps were deleted?

I have an iphone 4s and last night i was using my phone just like i usually do. I was on an app called vine when it crashed, (which is normal) but when my phone was on the home screen some of my apps were flashing white (the icons) and i couldnt open any without them crashing. So i restarted my phone and when my home page reopened i was missing nearly half my apps (such as app store, safari, itunes, i books, calculator, notepad, mail, instagram, and more). I can't reinstall some of the apps because I have no appstore, and some are utilities that can't be purchased from the app store.Id appreciate if anyone can help in anyway!

Try doing a restore plug it into your compuer open itunes and hit restore click ok to everthing and wait like 2 hours this should fix it

I'm no iPhone expert but i used to mess around with old ones a lot when i did an Apprenticeship scheme. It seems that what you're saying is that the Pre installed apps that come with the phone are missing. What i suggest you do is (if you have photo, music etc) do a backup onto your computer then I would reset the phone to its factory settings via a computer ( i will send you a link on what to do) if none of this works i would then immediately suggest taking it into an apple store or ask on an apple helpline. Try not to panic i'm sure it will all turn out smoothly
Hope it works

Weird

  • My Iphone four crashed mid update and now won't restart? I downloaded the latest update, and in the middle of it, my phone shuts off. Now, whenever I turn it on it just says plug into itunes, and I can't do anything else. It says I need to restore to original factory settings and lose all my data, which I Really don't want to do. Does anyone know if there's a way to solve this so I don't have to lose all my data? Yes I have apples site and they only have one thread about it for the recent crash and it is unanswered.
  • My iPhone crashed and it won't turn back on? So I have an iPhone 4s and it just blacked out or crashed earlier today. I have no clue why it crashed but I can't charge it or hook it up to iTunes. I don't know what to do so any help is better than none.
  • My iPhone crashed and is now loading forever? Help! My iPhone crashed and now it is just loading forever. I have no idea what to do. Will someone help me turn it back on?
  • My iPhone 4 crashed after jailbeak and All my apps disappeared. What do I do My iphone is less than a year old, and all the apps went away after my friends tried to jailbreak it. I don't know what to do! Also, it wasn't just the apps I bought, it was All the apps. (contacts, photos, messages, calling, ect.) All that's left is the dumb apps like Passbook and stuff that I never used.
