I assume this is on iTunes? I do see an App tab but don't see nothing else. I have the latest iTunes.
You obviously posted this thread in iPhones, but meant to post in the Mac forums.
You can go into Finder and then open the Applications folder. Drag the safari app to the Dock and you'll have it back. Then right click Safari>Options and choose keep in Dock.

no...this is an iPhone issue...
I accidentally deleted safari from my iphone, hence why I asked about iTunes because I figured that it can be restored through iTunes once I plug my iPhone to my Mac.
how did you delete it in the first place? I didnt even know you could delete the preinstalled apps from Apple.
^^^ What he said
unless the poster accidently enabled parental controls and flicked the switch to restrict access? Does that remove the icon?
You couldn't find Settings on your iPhone...? Um.. here's what I thought when I read that

Thank you. 
My Safari icon and iPod icon disappeared. I think it happened when I picked up my iPhone and realized all the icons were wiggling and 2 of the icons on the dock had disappeared. I must have accidentally deleted them.

He didnt. He either messed with parental controls or he moved it past the last page of apps.
Actually I did the exact same thing the other guy did I mustve accidently deleted the safari app while the iphone was in my pocket. The reset home screen layout did NOT work for me!! Can someone please help me find another way to get safari back on my iphone?
You have to be jailbroke and use ifile or a file explorer but I wouldn't do it, it really messes stuff up
