my samsung tv apps disappeared! i'm assuming you didn't delete them all. that would let me delete one app, like netflixor hulu, not all of them. my first suggestion is to turn off the tvand turn it back on, in case an update to the firmware made them disappear except thedefault ones.
How To Activate Iphone Kill Switch, tvs rarely ever update firmware. if your tv lost the internet connection, youoften won't see any apps at all. i can access the internet via other devices,so this isn't because i forgot to pay the phone bill.
you still may need to make sure the tv hasan internet connection via wifi or switch to a cable connection. next you'll be telling me to unplug it all. you can try unplugging it from the wall, waitingfive minutes and plugging it back in to hard reboot it. that's sometimes necessary aftera firmware update. i could try accessing the samsung websiteand see if it lists new firmware for the tv; if not, it hasn't updated firmware. and if you can access the internet via thebrowser in the tv but not the apps, that means the tv's internet access isn't the issue.
i haven't tried browsing the web on the tv. back in 2013, samsung had a server problemthat caused the apps to disappear from everyone's systems for a while. i bought my tv after that point, so i can'tsee how that's relevant. samsung could have server issues today. andafter issues like that, the apps reappear after a couple of hub updates. i can't make them reboot their servers. you can power cycle your own router, in caseit is a connection issue on your network. i've heard of factory resets fixing this problem.
that only works if the latest update of thetv's software screwed stuff up or the tv's firmware got hosed. i've heard that updates to the smart tv killapps. if an update for samsung smart hub causesyou to get server errors when the app tries to start up, the issue could be that the tvisn't compatible with the app. the apps all worked before. then the update to the smart tv could causethe apps not to work, and you may need to uninstall and re-install the apps. how do i do that, assuming i can get to thatpoint?
open smart hub, go to the apps panel, samsungapps, menu, purchased. pick the app to install, select accept and download, and install it. i may have to do that just to get the appsback. you can still do a smart hub reset to tryto fix things. go to menu, smart features, smart hub reset, enter your pin, smart hub,select smart hub, start, confirm settings, next. that's where you can see the network status. if that screen says you aren't connected tothe network, that's where you can pick a different network.
or re-add the one it can't see. once you see the network, click next, agreeto terms and conditions and privacy, confirm tv configuration, enter your zip code, pickthe service provider and set up the set top box if you have one. so that's how you reset the tv. and if there are particular apps you don'tsee at that point, you should be able to go back and download them individually.
