How to I get the launchpad icon to install in the dock?

Lion apparently installed ok on my macbook air but did not install the launchpad icon in the dock.  How can I get this icon to show in the dock
Thanks

1. Click on the Finder (first icon in the dock)
2. Find your applications folder. It should be showing in the left menu, but if it isn't, open "Macintosh HD" from the left (assuming that is your hard drive name), scroll down until you see "Applications," open it, find "Launchpad," and drag it to the preferred position on the dock.

  • How do I get rid of "Acrobat is installed" in the CC-App?

    I was very dissatisfied with Acrobat XI (slow as hell) so that I immediately deinstalled it with the Acrobat uninstaller in the utilities folder.
    After reboot of the Mac and even after deinstallation of the creative cloud app, using the Adobe Cleaner tool and so on, now, in the CC-app "Acrobat" is still displayed as "Installed".
    If I had to (I tried to get rid of this entry) reinstall Acrobat there is no possibility to do so. Because the App-download on the ACC-site directly forwards me to the CC-app which shows no further reaction, except it displays that "Acrobat is current(installed)" (whatever it reads in english; German system here). It is not. When I quit the cc-app it warns me that this also stops the update process – but there is no update process running, neither in the background, nor is there any download or anything else.
    I tried to remove everything associated with acrobat from my system. But the CC-app stands strong telling me that Acrobat XI is installed. :-(
    How do I repair this??
    Thanks,
    Olaf

    Now, I cleaned the whole Creative Cloud. Reinstalled Creative Cloud. No program is shown as "Installed", although Photoshop IS installed. One exception: That f******** damn Acrobat XI still is shown as "Installed", although it is not. ANd I can NOT reinstall it. Neither trough the ACC site (which directs me to the CC-App, nor through the CC-App, which tells me it is intatlled. Described problem with Acrobat X cannot be installed is still there.
    This is soooo exeptionally anyoing! Do I really have to set-up my whole Mac completely new? Would be the first time ever for years, thanks to creative cloud.

    I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?  Thanks to you from the UnTechie

    The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
    You cannot reverse the upgrade.

  • How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro?

    How do I get the Airplay Icon to show on the System Preferences of my MacBook Pro? I want to be able to connect to my AppleTV.

    I looked at that already. I've done everything it says: check to make sure wireless is working, make sure airplay is enabled, make sure device and apple tv are on the same network blah blah. The icon just isn't there. Unless I skipped a step. AirPlay works when I use it in the music app and in the video app, I jus can't get mirroring to work. I was looking at some other threads and mirroring doesn't seem to be working for a lot of people. Maybe I jus have to wait for an update =\

  • How do I get the website icons to be in the bookmark entry?

    The bookmark sidebar used to automatically insert the website icon in front of the bookmark entry for most sites. I upgraded to Firefox 9 and now it doesn't seem to do this even for sites that used to get the entry. How do I make the icon attach itself to the entry? Maxine r.

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

    You can try the CheckPlaces another time after you've deleted the places files and that still didn't bring the favicons back.

  • Camera already on from lockscreen on iPhone 5c. How do I turn it off? The camera icon is running in the lower right corner and when I swipe up from the bottom of the lockscreen it brings up the camera running.

    My camera is already running from the lockscreen, the camera icon is displayed in the lower right corner and when I swipe up the control center it brings up the camera first. If I swipe up again I get the control center.  How do I stop the camera from staying on and coming up first?

    I thought the feature was for it to be available for me to use, not to swipe up and have the camera already going. The control panel is not coming up first, it is the camera. In order to get to the control panel I have to swipe up again and the camera is still going. Annoyingly, I have had to disable the camera from the control panel so it isn't coming up first, and now it is unavailable to use quickly.

    How do I get my FaceTime icon back on my iPhone 5 after accidentally deleting it

      Obviously I need to speak another language for you.... AGAIN my intentions were to answer the original post... Obviously more than one person has had this issue... I didn't create the post! If you take the time to read what I have said, I in fact wasn't the one asking the question, I was answering it! It's funny your on an Apple forum stating that information given by APPLE is incorrect.... Mind boggling! When answering a question on a forum, there are those that will disagree with the answers you have provided..SO WHAT! My life goal is not to answer to you or anyone else's satisfaction... Get over it.. You call it splitting hairs, I call it stating my opinion...I would have had to provide a service in order to provide a disservice, to which my opinion is not!  If you don't agree with what I or APPLE has said, shrug and move on....
