iPod app gone bye-bye

**JimmyTheSaint** · 06-02-2010, 12:03 AM

After I installed and used Categories, I noticed iPod no longer appeared in the dock. I never hid or categorized iPod. I checked Hidden Icons and iPod isn't hidden, but its icon in the Hidden Icons list now shows a white question mark on a black background. The only other app with this icon is WebSheet, but I don't know what that is. I've tried hiding and unhiding the iPod from Categories and also from SBSettings, but no change. Before I do a restore and then have to reinstall all my jb apps, are there any suggestions how to recover my iPod app?

It's actually remotely possible that iPod disappeared before I installed Categories and I didn't notice, but I don't think so. I tried looking for iPod in the file system, but I could only find apps I installed, not the pre-installed ones. I did find everything in order with the music directories, which I was able to find after using PwnTunes. iPod's icon is also missing from the apps that iTunes shows. I've done a few iTunes syncs, but iPod has never come back. wtf?

EDIT: I just tried starting in Safe Mode and--voila--iPod is there. Any ideas how to get it back when using unsafe mode?

EDIT: I just installed CategoriesSB too, but no change.

EDIT: So when I go to Springboard's search page, I can find the iPod and load it from there. But where's the dang icon?

there is an option in poof, its called someting like fix missing icons try that and then poof and un poof and do a restart and see if that works

Thanks, but it didn't work. I tried hiding, quitting poof, then unhiding, but poof didn't unpoof iPod. Inside poof, iPod's icon again showed as a white question mark on a black field, not the normal orange icon, so it seems like something's missing or broken at the system level. Yet iPod works fine when I search for and run it from Springboard's search.

Did you forget the fix missing icons button

I just added iPod to SBSettings's dock, and it shows up and launches fine from there, with the proper mini-icon. When I toggled it in the dock settings, though, it still showed up with the question mark icon.

This happened to me once too. No matter what nothing happened. What I did was go to Cydia and install mobilemusicplayerswitch which turned my iPod into a music and video app like iPod touch

Sweet, that worked, thanks.
