How do you add icons to Launch Pad

I just installed Lion and want to add icons to the Launch Pad, removing them from the dock.  How do I do that?  And, will it work with icons of apps that are not purchased from the App Store?
Cliff

I am back.  I have now sorted out my Launch Pad to be organized the way I want it. I have decluttered my Dock.  Very nice. 
Now I want to add some of the remaining icons for apps that did not automatically show up in Launch Pad.  So, again, how do I do that?
Thanks,
Cliff

  • How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    The only new icons you can add to your home screen are webclips, which can be added by using the "+" button in safari on the desired web page.
    You won't be able to add new apps until February when the SDK is fully seeded to developers.

  • Lost icons on launch pad

    I have lost most of the icons on launch pad.  Anyone know how to restore them?

    Ohh, sorry my mistake. I sometimes make up words in my head and mix sentences around. May I ask what is missing from your launchpad and what disappeared? Is it possible that you accidently put an icon over anothericon? Doing that can start a folder in your Launchpad. Also if you hold your click for a few seconds, the icons start skaking and allows you to delete icons. I am pretty sure to add applications to your Launchpad is drag it from the finder to the Launchpad logo on your dock. If you are missing those applications, I recommend reinstalling the ones your are missing. If its from the app store, reinstall it from the app store by going to the purchases tab and downloading the apps in there that you don't have anymore. If it is from the internet or disk, download however you downloaded it before. Also, if you have a Time Machine backup, I advise that you restore to the last time you can remember you haveing those qapps in your launchpad. If you don't use Time Machine, I highly advise you go and pick up an external hard drive that is time machine comaptible (ask a store employee for which ones work with time machine) and set up time machine so if this happens again, you just have to restore from your last backup and it will make the process much easier. So to sum up, if you have time machine, restore your mac to the last time you remember having those things in your Launchpad, if you don't use Time Machine, then reinstall everything you are missing manually and get a time machine compatible external hard drive from an electronics store and setup Time Machine. It is very easy to setup, only one or two questions and it's fully automated.

  • How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

    How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback?  I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
    To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8.  To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads.  Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked. 
    However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1."  And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute.  Instead, nothing comes out at all.  I can't imagine why this does not work.  Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming.  Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments.  Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
    Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual.  The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
    What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max.  Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
    On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind!  To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project?  Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue.  I'd sincerely appreciate it!  Thanks all!

    David,  you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
    That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
      May I offer you advice?
    Go here:
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
    Open "Exploring Logic Pro"  (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
    I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

    How do you add an application event to the Applications Panel.
    My previous post referred to .ashx files, and the problem seems that Firefox, by default, does not recognize a .ashx format being read by Adobe Acrobat.
    Therefore there needs to be a way to add Applications and Events into the Applications Panel under Preferences

    Gotcha... But actually its limited to 9 icons in the L theme as the Profiles icon is always present. From that screen hit the Menu key to display the bigger list of icons. Arange them so the first 9 icons are the ones you want to see on the L theme.

  • How do you add a voice tag to a contact

    how do you add a voice tag to a contact i phone5

    You don't need to add any sort of tags to call by voice. It's built into the system. Go to Settings>General>Siri and make sure it's set to On.
    To use Siri, press and hold the Home button. When the microphone icon pops up and there is a beep, say, "Call <name from your contacts>"
    Consult the manual for more information on Siri.

    "Add Folder to Library" is still in the file menu, but you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the file menu.
    If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
