How to add an App to launchpad from applications
my iPhoto is gone from launchpad due to the fact it had a huge grey question mark on it and it would not function as an App in launchpad only applications in finder..
how to put an app in launchpad...
2nd try at trying to get this answerered..
Oops, sorry. In #1 I meant to say, "Can you successfully launch _iPhoto_ from its icon in the Applications folder?"
The reason I suggested my two steps is that I've seen situations where Migration Assistant had been run (after the purchase of a new computer and a subsequent data transfer) where iPhoto did indeed seem confused when opening it from the Dock. After running it from the Applications folder, it would then successfully open when selected in the Dock. I thought that a similarly successful launch of iPhoto from the Applications folder may indeed help the problematic launching from Launchpad.
As babowa said, icons are automatically added to launchpad. However, Launchpad only references the Applications folder (as I recall). If iPhoto had been moved from /Appllications, then _perhaps_ a question mark may have been present or remained in Launchpad. And a simple restart can often correct such oddball behavior.

How to add an app to the 'recommended applications' list for 'open with other' in finder?
How can I add an app to the 'recommended applications' list for 'open with other' in finder?
Specifically, I have Final Draft 8 and Final Draft Tagger 2.
Final Draft Tagger 2 is used to manipulate and create scheduling information for movie scripts written using Final Draft.
It is NOT on the Recommended Applications list when using Finder to open a .fdx file using 'Open with Other'.
I've modified the info.plist for Final Draft Tagger 2 by copying the entry for Final Draft Documents from Final Draft 8 and removing the original entry, which differed. I then rebooted the machine and was saddened because it did not work.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
MikeThat's not useful.
I want to add a app to the recommended applications list so I don't have to waste time doing this every time I want to use the app on a file.
I thought my question made that clear.
Any suggestions for doing this? -
How to add iCloud app to my iPhone 5s
how to add iCloud app to my iPhone 5s
There isn't an iCloud app. You'll find iCloud in Settings>iCloud, where you can sign in with your Apple ID to create your iCloud account (see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html). There is only a Find My iPhone app (available through the App store), which you can use to track your other devices from your phone.

You can do it with Automator, although it's harder than in Windows.

I like to press the Spotlight keyboard shortcut and then use type-ahead and Enter to launch. When Spotlight is open, if I start typing "wo" Microsoft Word will be highlighted and then I just press Enter to launch it. -

How to uninstall my app or programm from mac
how can i uninstall app and program from the imac?
Most programs (Applications) can be dragged from your Applications folder to the trash, and that will effectively delete them, with the exception of some remnants that no longer have a part to play.
These applications are usually installed simply by dragging them from a disk image into the Applications folder.
The other kind of installation is where applications require some ancillary files to be written to deeper parts of the operating system, and these will usually come with an installer. Such an application that is well written will also come with an uninstaller, to remove all of the bits and pieces that were initially placed. For such applications you would use its uninstaller.
In summary, how you remove an application will mirror how you installed it to begin with. -
Instructions How To Add Web Apps
Can someone tell me how to add web apps like the games and flashlight. I'm having a mental block lol Theres no download button on the apple site or in itunes that ive found.
Thanks!Hi Jraps39
Currently there are 2 answers to this question.
The first applies if your iPod touch hasn't been updated with the January Software Upgrade which you can purchase through the iTunes music store. If this is the case then there is no official supported way of adding buttons to your home screen to those web apps. You can however bookmark them in Safari.
If you have downloaded the January Software Upgrade through the iTunes Music Store then you will be able to tap the plus sign in the middle of the button bar at the bottom of the webpage in Safari and it will give you the option to "Add to Home" which will add an icon to your home screen.
Some users have found alternative methods that are unofficially supported and cannot be mentioned on this forum however I hope the above answers your question. -

Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?
You connect the iPad to the computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes to put them on the Mac's internal drive. They can't actually be run on a Mac.

How does one delete apps or files from iCloud Permanently so I may re-download without retrieving existing cloud file?for example the U2 Marketing fast , an Album I have no interest in...is now in my Cloud.. How can I remove this File from iPhone & cloud
Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling -
