How to restore Launchpad icon to Dock

I removed Launchpad from the Dock by mistake. I want to put it back. 'Help' says things are added to the Dock by dragging. Fine - but where/how can I get Launchpad up so I can drag it to the Dock?

If you removed Launchpad from the Dock and you want to recover it, just open Finder, select Applications in the sidebar, and drag the Launchpad icon to the Dock, so it will appear again in the Dock

  • Restoring OSX icon on dock

    Hi: I lost my Apple-OSX icon (the one with the little spring and "@" symbol) from the dock. It accidentally went up in smoke and can't find where to retrieve it from. Any suggestions on how I can restore this icon to the dock would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Gavik

    Easy, peezy!
    In Safari, go to the following address:
    http://www.apple.com/macosx/
    Then drag that URL down into the Dock, next to the Trash icon.
    Did it work?
    Cheers, S.

  • How to reset launchpad icons to default size?

    MacBook Pro 13 inch
    OS-X Maveriks (10.9)
    Mid-2012
    Good Conditions
    Recently restored to factory settings
    No illigeal softwere
    My launchpad icons keep getting smaller and it looks very bad, I liked how they look in big size because they were the deafult but got smaller and any fix would help. I had this issue before with Mountian Lion (10.8) and resotred my Mac to factory settings when did Maveriks (10.9) but still with the same problem. I can be caused by Logic Pro X which I downloaded from the AppStore but I don't know any help would be welcome.

    cmd - (smaller) or cmd + (bigger) !!

  • How to restore box icons to desktop of ideatab s6000

    I accidently deleted the box on the desktop for games. How do I restore it or add a new box that I can add the apps and widgets to? Thanks

    If Apple wonders why iTunes users abandon the program and move elsewhere this is a fine example.  Once a strong devotee I no longer feel that way and my next machine won't be a Mac.  Apple could have simply made it a toggle but no ... you do as Apple demands and it is that thinking (our way or the highway) that makes people bristle and walk away.
    They are blind if they think they've "improved" iTunes.  Today it is more annoying than anything they have previously offered.  Appreciate the response.

  • How to change stacks icon in dock?

    I love the stacks feature in Leopard. However, it seems to choose the first application in the stack alphabetically as the one to show in the dock. This is logical (if you stacked all the apps by alphabet, the top one would be the first in alpha order), but I as a user remember a group of apps by a particular signature app. For me, the Graphics stack is more immediately recognizable if the icon is of GraphicConverter than if it is of DigitalColor Meter; don't ask me why.
    Is there a way to change the default behavior of stacks icon display in the dock, letting me select the Graphic Converter icon for my Graphics stack? (This would be similar to the "Make Key Photo" command in iPhoto.) I understand that if I ever were to remove my chosen application from the stack, the displayed icon would revert to the default alpha selection.

    Actually, I may have spoken too soon. I did as directed, setting it to Display as Folder. Then I went to the actual folder, invoked the Get Info command, and pasted the Graphic Converter icon into the icon preview. This worked just great in the Finder window, but the dock icon remains a folder icon.

  • How to restore finder icons to default?

    Somehow I ended up with these weird icons in finder for things like folders as you can see here
    They're really annoying and I can't figure out how to revert them back to the default icons.

    In Finder "Go" menu, hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences and trash these files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    com.apple.FolderActions.plist
    com.apple.FolderActionsSetup.plist
    Then, restart.(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

  • 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.
