How to restore application organization in launchpad

I don't know what I did but my applications are no longer organized in launchpad. Tried restoring the dock database but it didn't work. Is there any file I can restore that will let me restore the old organization?
thanks for your help

  • How To Restore "Application" Under "Places"

    Hi,
    I accidentally removed the "Application" from both the "Finder Places" and the "Dock". How do I restore it to the original situations?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Do you mean "Drag The Application Folder" from Devices -> "Macintosh HD" to Places?
    And "Drag The Application Folder" from Finder's sidebat to the "Dock"?
    Thanks.

  • After upgrading to Firefox 4 in my Windows XP desktop, how do I restore to Organize Bookmarks... selection, which is no longer visible in the Bookmarks menu or in any other menu?

    Typo; should be "how do I restore the Organize Bookmarks... selection". This selection also does not exist when I manually change Firefox to show the new "Firefox" orange menu tab at the upper left corner of the Firefox window.

    OK, that works. In addition, just before receiving your response, I discovered that History --> Show All History brings up the identical "Show All Bookmarks" Library popup that includes the export and import Bookmark options (which is what I was looking for all along).
    If anyone from the Mozilla-Firefox organization reads this, please update Firefox Help concerning the Bookmark maintenance functions. Help still refers only to pre-Firefox 4 versions, and is no help here with respect to Firefox 4 (which is why I had to post my initial query).

  • How to restore the application icon

    I need to know how to restore the application icon back to my Macbook.  I need to download firefox and can not do so becuase the application icon is not showing up. 

    In the first place, the Firefox installer has an alias to the Applications folder in its window - you simply drag the fox icon onto that.
    I'm assuming that the missing icon you're looking for is the one from the Dock?
    If so, select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, find the Applications folder and drag it into the Dock (to the right of the line), being careful not to release the mouse until the other icons move aside for it. If you do that right, the Applications folder will remain in Macintosh HD, and you'll have shiny new alias to it in the Dock.

  • 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.

  • Had to restore my Mac Book with Snow Leopard. My i Life disc appears to be damaged, and I can't restore my iPhoto application. I have searched for downloads but all appear to be upgrades. Any ideas on how to restore iphotos

    Had to restore my Mac Book with Snow Leopard. My i Life disc appears to be damaged, and I can't restore my iPhoto application. I have searched for downloads but all appear to be upgrades. Any ideas on how to restore iphotos

    Given what you describe you will have to upgrade Snow Leopard by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade your OS. Then purchase the latest upgrades for the iLife applications which includes iPhoto.
    Or you can go on eBay, Google, or Amazon and purchase another copy of the DVD based iLife.

  • Applications folder is empty--how to restore?

    For some reason, my Applications folder in the finder is empty. All the applications exist, but i have to use Find or Spotlight to get to them (except those in the dock).
    Any idea how to restore this?
    Cheers

    A couple of things:
    1. The only thing Terminal shows as hidden is the custom icon for the /Applications folder itself, which is perfectly normal and shouldn't be changed. There is no reason to run the sudo command.
    2. OS X has not used nor automatically created a .hidden file in...umm...forever. Not since Panther, although the Finder in both Tiger and Leopard will actually read a .hidden file if one exists. But unless one has been just running update since Panther, or you have created a .hidden file yourself, there won't be one.
    I suspect the poster is simply opening the wrong Applications folder, that there is an Applications folder in the home folder, and that is one being opened. To check:
    1. Type the name of a program in Spotlight in the menu bar
    2. The "Top Hit" will be the program
    3. Press and hold the Command key and click on program in the Spotlight list
    A Finder window will open with that program high-lighted. You should see all the other programs as well, and you should be in the proper Applications folder. Change the View of the folder to Column view. In the Sidebar your startup drive should be select, in the next column the Applications folder will be selected, and in the next column all the applications will be listed, with the one you entered in Spotlight selected.

  • I accidentally removed some ms office files from macbook through app cleaner . now they are in trash . how to restore them as some applications are not opening

    i just downloaded appscleaner from net and accidentally removed some of the ms office files like database utility , entourage ,etc. now when i open word, excel , it shows some message . how to restore the files. i tried by dragging them to the desktop but  don't know how to reinstall them at original place.

    Dragging them to desktop was not a good idea. Now you need to know where they came from.
    For any still in the Trash right-click on the file and select "put back" from the context menu.
    What version of Office, and what are the file names? We may be able to help you trace where they should be.

  • How do I delete unused application shortcuts from launchpad?

  • IPAD restores applications but not data or files associated with applications

    1) Today Itunes prompted me to update the OS on the IPAD.
    2) It warned me to back up IPAD before I did.  I did
    3) I updated software.
    4) It returned with an error saying it could not install software and I must restore to facotry settings
    5) I resotored to factory settings
    6) After that I attempted to restore contents of my IPAD from Itunes on my Windows 7 machine. 
    7) It restored only music but no applications and no other information
    8) I spent all day on the phone with Apple Support who managed to get the applications restored by going through one by one and syncing.
    9) It took a few hours
    10) After I finished I noticed that files/documents associated with various applications like Kindle, Goodreader, Penultimate Notes were missing on the IPAD.
    11) I have made a few phone calls to Apple and thy claim the following: "Apple is not responsible for restoring files or data associated with any applications, only the application itself.  It is your responsibility to contact the application developer to get your files restored."  This sounds patently absurd to me. I spent half an hour explaining the absurdity of this claim to the Apple representatives but they are firm and non-wavering in this opinion.  One even claimed that restoring does not restore applications which of course is not correct.
    12) I gave them the example of MS Word on MacBook Pro. If I save/back up on another machine and then restore back to the original machine I would expect to be able to see the Word files I had created and saved.  That in particular the failure to view them would not be Microsoft's responsibility but Apple's.  They disagreed saying it would be between me and Microsoft and the Apple devices had nothign to do with saving or successful restoring.
    13) So I have lost all e-books purchased on Kindle, plus all documents saved on Goodreader application, notebooks on Penultimate applications, and my children’s drawings on their drawing applications.  Apple Support say I should contact each application vendor to try and recover the missing data.  They refuse to tell me how to get it from ITUNES backup stored on my Windows 7 machine as they say it will not be there. 
    They have asked me to write to

    Did you try restoring from a backup of the iPad? If you have a backup with all of your app data and files, that should restore all of that content to the device.
    No - restoring does not restore applications. You have to either sync the applications back from iTunes on your computer, or you can download them again, BUT ... All of your data, files and device settings are stored in your backup. Do you have a backup in iTunes .... Edit>Preferences>Devices - that should show you all of your iDevice backups.

  • My iPod touch (5th gen) doesn't list some albums in the artist's section. But still lists the individual songs in the music list. How can I better organize this?

    I recently bought an iPod touch 5th generation, I had a few CD albums here that I wanted to put into my new iPod, just like my old one. But with my old one I put them all in and it organized them all as the same artist (which they are), so under artists I just had to click on their name, then pick the album. In the 5th gen one, it puts the songs in my iPod, but I can't find the actual album under "Artists". I put 2 albums by this artist, but it only shows one, and the other is nowhere to be found, but it's still in my iPod, just as individual songs in the songs section. I don't think this'll be the only time I'm running into this problem on the 5th gen, I had trouble organizing some other songs. How can I better organize these albums, show them all under the same artist? I tried to re-write the artist name to be exactly the same, but that doesn't do anything.

    I would either say that the iOS is correpted due to a software glitch or y have have a hardware problem like bad memory locations that are corrupting the iOS.
    - Restore from backup via iTunes. This will install a fresh copy of the iOS. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.   This will elimate corruptin in the backup causing the problem.          
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How to restore documents after a clean install when location is not known?

    I have had some troubles with my computer recently and the person at the genius bar said I should wipe my drive clean and include everything except my library folders and system folder. The only thing I don't know how to restore is documents that aren't stored in a known location in the finder. What I mean is programs like LittleSnapper or Macjournal that have their files contained with the application (in another words I don't go to the Finder to save or open these documents.)
    I did a search for some files from "Things" and it looks like these get stored under the library. Therefore if I choose to not restore the library (like the Genius said) wouldn't I lose access to these files?! LittleSnapper appears to save it's files in a hidden folder on the hard drive called "private". How can I restore that folder if I don't even have access to it?
    Do I just export the files from these programs to the finder and then reimport them later? "Things" doesn't even appear to have a way to export it's files that I know of.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide in this matter.

    "No program keeps stuff in the private folder."
    The reason I thought that is if you open a LittleSnapper screen shot in Photoshop or where ever and then command click on the windows title it shows the private folder on the file's path.
    "Before you do reformat, try creating a new user account. See if you're problem still exist within that new user."
    Yes I still have the problem with the new user account.

  • How to Restore iPhoto Library from BackUp?

    My iPhoto library has gone blank, although its trash has the 4,555 images. And all organization, albums, keywords, photo names, gone. Recently my backup storage, where library kept, went blank. I got a new backup, and a pro restored most of old data, and transfered to new one. So, I have the Library on the new backup, and need to restore it in the iPhoto Library, rather than create a new one, which as I understand will lose albums, keywords, etc. A friend says that way to hold down a key when opening iPhoto that will have it look for old library and restore? Not in Help or elsewhere.
    I had a MacBook Pro, when this first happen. Now have iMac and have iLife 09, but don't want to instal it until photo library restored.
    Sounds basic, but how to restore.
    Thanks,
    Armando

    Armando
    The simplest way to restore is to put the Library in the Pictures Folder and launch iPhoto.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' To select a Library.
