Add app launchpad

Could you tell me how to add an application located in a folder inside Application folder, to the Launchpad.
I tried a lot of things i.e. dragging the icon of the app. from the folder onto the launchpad icon, but nothing.
Please help me
Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor english ...

A .jar isn't an app. It is the data for a Java program. When you "launch" it, you are launching Java, which is the App, and it loads the jar.
You'd have to use something to create a wrapper around the jar, not just a plain jar.
I believe you can do that in XCode.
You could use Automator to create an Application:
Put the jar file somewhere that it will stay put (ie don't move it), then add it to the Get Specified Finder Items.
If you want a custom icon, get info on the application you made and paste an image into the icon in the top left of the Get Info window.

  • Toshiba 46TL968G HowTo add apps and Problem with flash in Webbrowser

    Hi all,
    I have 2 problems regarding Toshiba 46TL968G.
    1) is that possible to install apps on this TV? I searched online that TOSHIBA ePortal could be used to add Apps, but I cannot find it in 46TL968G. Is it supported by this model?
     - If yes, how can I access.
     - If no, how can I install Apps. The Apps found in TOSHIBA Places are fixed and not really helpful. I prefer to install more.
    2) Does the web browser support adobe flash? When I open youtube media, it shows "please install adobe flash". I cannot see any media on web browser. It is interesting that Youtube works fine in TOSHIBA Places.
    Regards

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!
    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • How can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

    how can i add apps to my ipod touch 2 with ios 4.2.1

    Same way as always. Purchases directly for the App store on the iPod or download on your computer and sync to your iPod. To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

  • Cannot add apps to iTunes Wish List for my ipod

    When using iTunes on my Macbook, I cannot add apps (for ipod, ipad, etc. NOT for computer) to my Wish List.  When I try, a pop up error alert box says that "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed., to try again later."  The odd thing is that I can add music albums to my Wish List.  I am not trying to add previously bought apps, but new ones that I find that I might want later.  I used to be able to do this, but not as of recently.  I even updated my Itunes to see if that would help.  No effect.  Is it my wifi network,?  Any ideas of how to remedy this?

    thanks.  I opened iTunes this morning and miraculously my wish list seems to be working.   i see one app i had added to be downloaded.  I am able to remove songs from wish list and add songs and preview all.
    last i heard from the customer service person was that they referred the issue to a senior level support person.  this after i sent them several screen shots of my wish list and the error about unable to add to existing wish list because ittem was already there.
    I have not heard from them that my issue is resolved.  I will give them a day or so to get back to me to confirm they fixed the problelm.
    very strange.  at least they acknowledged the problem did indeed exist as they referred me to the online user forum for possible solutions.  I indicated the problem persisted as early as June 2010 and as late as Jan 2012. and I had upgraded to ver 10.5.3 as well as remove and re-install even AFTER they kept telling me they removed my wishlist.

  • My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine.  How do I get my account back?  Tried plugging it into his computer again.  No prompt to change account back to mine.

    Hi Trishw,
    At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

    Hi Prasad,
    A very similar conversation was recently discussed here:

    Although not advisable to add webparts directly to masterpages but there are options using delegates to do so.

  • Can you add apps to iPad open in list

    Can you add apps to the open in list of an iPad

    As far as I know, you cannot add apps to the Open In list using any setting or built in feature in iOS. This is controlled by the iOS itself. IIRC, you can delete apps from the iPad that appear in the Open In list in order to make room for apps that you would like to appear in there, and if you continue to use the apps that you want to add to that list, eventually they will appear in the list. I believe that the more that you use one particular app, the more likely it will be for it to appear in the Open In list.

    I am trying to use apple configurator with ipads. I have been successful with preparing and supervising all ipads but one. When preparing it in configurator, I receive an error that it is refreshed but with an error. Under supervise, I am not able to add apps. I have erased all content to start over but this does not work either

    Are you trying to restore a backup, or just sync some apps? Do you have profiles installed on the device?
    Have you plugged the ipad into iTunes, and did a fresh install? I'm assuming the device went through the prepare setup properly. You many have to unsupervise it first, then plug it into iTunes to wipe it completely.
    I'd then do each step seperately. Prepare it, then install 1 app, if that works, try another app, then maybe a profile.
