It is a STUPID bug that rim does not think matters as nobody including your grandson and the dozens of other folks who have done it, should do it according to rim. A Rim i*d*i*o*t* (each time I read about this happening, I lose more patience) does not care. BUT every BUG should be snuffed out when reported. Maybe it will be fixed in the next major OS update and maybe, because they don't think it important, it won't be fixed!
Shame on RIM!
Thanks. I too managed to lose my dock apps, but thanks to you they are all back where they belong. Many thanks.
Thank you as well,Drew. I lost icons & followed your advice( I admit holding my breath as I moved ALL my icons into oblivion) but it worked!! every thing came back as it was. Crackberry is now on my home screen!
Thanks again
Dale
I was merely translating into civilian, the advice of the mega lords of the tech world. Glad it helped and yeah I held my breath when I did my last icon....lol
That totally worked! Very impressed and glad I found the thread. Thanks!!
ALL of my icons apart from the web have disappeared and i have tried holding all three top buttons in at the same time and nothing has happened what do i do?!
Hello.I have tried your instructions to get the icons back as all of my icons apart from browser has disappeared and it has not worked,i have turned it on and off 3 times holding the three top buttons and it has not done anything :mad: what should i do i really need help seeing as i have borrowed the playbook and this happens?:crying::cant-watch:
You need to DRAG ALL ICONS to the DOCK. They ALL need to disappear. So if you still see the Browser, drag that one, too. Then restart. Oh, also swipe LEFT OR RIGHT and make sure that no icons appear on the Second Pane or Panel.
If the unit is borrowed, I'd contact the owner and make sure that everything they want is backed up. Then they could do a Security Wipe or Debrick.
I'm so frustrated with this!!! I feel your pain. I was cleaning up my playbook, and then i went to put them back, and then it said the exact same thing error_ something. (still don't know how to fix it ):) but, yeah, it has been like this for about 2 weeks now. I've tried everything. Restarted it plenty of times, looked everywhere and waited for ever!!! I lost my messages, contacts, browser, and my favorite game and i don't want to completely restore my whole playbook ): just get them back. If you find an answer,can you please reply to me. Thxs :) i feel your pain):
Read F2's post above yours.
Okay, what is your problem?
If Icons disappear as dragged to the dock, then you have to as noted above:
"You need to DRAG ALL ICONS to the DOCK. They ALL need to disappear. So if you still see the Browser, drag that one, too. Then restart. Oh, also swipe LEFT OR RIGHT and make sure that no icons appear on the Second Pane or Panel."
Aside from the "dock bug" the PLAYBOOK shows only a browser icon when setup is skipped.
Make sure your issue is one and not the other.

My kids just both did this to their Playbooks and the fix worked like a charm. Thanks everyone!!
Glad this thread got folks going again.
Now I have a question which maybe someone can answer. In BB-More's Reply 38 he says:
"Sent from using Tapatalk"
I see "Send from" and a small symbol "" then "using Tapatalk"
It looks like a box with what look like the characters
F8
EB
stacked like above but enclosed by a box.
What is that small symbol, if anyone else see it - maybe its a coding issue with Firefox. I see it in various places. And, no, I don't see Dead People!
I'ts pretty sad that RIM doesn't have any real tech support and we have to rely on forums like this for information on bugs and fixes from other piers rather than certified Blackberry engineers!
The Knowledge Base has a reference article, KB33078, to the disappearing icon problem.

Note that this KB article was released 11/15/2012 and it is doubtful that the investigation mentioned is being continued.
