Launchpad Icon Arrangement

Hi,
     I was wondering how you go about arranging the icons in Launchpad. I lov e the new feature, a bit like my iPhone, and I was just wondering how you can personalise the icon arrangement and hide some that are rarely used.
Thank You

Launchpad's folder structure is completely separate from the Applications folder's structure. So making in folders won't make them in Launchpad, or vice versa. For example, I don't use Launchpad currently, so nothing in there is organized, but in my Applications folder it is, because that's what I use. Pretty much organize whatever one you want - they don't affect each other.

  • Re-arrange launchpad icons

    Using Yosemite (10.10.1), how to re-arrange launchpad icons?
    The technique that worked in my earlier version on OS X is described in this article:
    http://www.maclife.com/article/howtos/how_navigate_organize_and_delete_apps_laun chpad
    That technique no longer works. After re-boot, the launchpad icons appear in the original order, with my changes thrown away.

    Hello again, johncla.
    Thanks for the update on your issue. If you've not seeing the above functionality, then due to the nature of your issue you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action to get a more hands-on response.

  • Is there a way of displaying  the various item in my Downloads folder as icons arranged in order of Date Created, such that the most recent items appear at the bottom, rather than the top?

    Is there a way of displaying  the various item in my Downloads folder as icons arranged in order of Date Created, such that the most recent items appear at the bottom, rather than the top? I know this can be done when they are displayed as a list, but I want icons!

    Hi geezer,
    when you open your 'Downloads' folder choose 'View'  in the Menu bar and choose:
    'as List'
    'Show View Options'
    In 'View options' window you tick:
    'Always open in list view'
    'Date Modified', or
    'Date created'
    Now inside the 'Downloads' folder click on 'Date Created' (or 'Date Modified')
    column to get items alined from oldest to newest date (or reverse)…

  • How do I remove launchpad icon from the launchpad itself?

    So after using Clean My Mac 2 for the first time I deleted 3.25GB of space from my macbook air. What was also deleted were the iconds in the launchpad, by icons I mean that when I openes launchpad you could see a space and the name of the app but you couldn't see the icon. The way to fix that was to drag all the apps from the application folder in the finder to the launchpad icon in the dock. Now all of my apps are back and launchpad is also in the launchpad now and I want to get rid of it because it is useless there. Is launchpad supposed to be inside the launchpad anyway or did it appear there because I dragged all the apps from the applications folder to the launchpad icon? Any help will be accepted. Thank You.

    Hold down the COMMAND key, select the icon and drag out of the menubar. It should away.

  • Upgrade to Lion issues: Missing launchpad icon

    I upgraded to Lion recently but I cannot find the launchpad icon. I checked as well the Keyboard shortcuts and it still shows me "Dashboard and Dock" as opposed to "Launchpad and Dock". Can someone please help?

    Do you have, or can you get, a Lion installer. If yes, then try for a fix by doing a repair install of Lion. If you don't have the installer, then see if you can download the installer by going to the App Store and holding down the "Option" key while selecting "Purchased." If you see "install" on the Lion line, then you can download by selecting "Install." If you get the installer, then do the repair install by running the installer from within the deficient Lion installation. For more on the repair install process, check this link out. Be sure and read about my test of the repair-install procedure on Lion on page 2. Be sure you are backed up adequately.

  • My launchpad Icon has vanished how do I get it back ?

    My launchpad icon has just vanished how do I get it back ?

    I take you want the icon on the Dock?
    Navigate to the Applications folder in your hard drive. Look for the item called Launchpad. Drag and drop it on the Dock. The icon is usually placed immediately after the Finder Icon.

  • 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.

    This is the downloading part of the icon: one of your programs has not downloaded correctly. Start launchpad and search for a grey icon and try to download this app. After downloading the the double line should disappear

  • 10.7.2 launchpad icon size is ridiculous huge :(((

    I updated to 10.7.2, everything is fine. The iCloud is great but the launchpad icon size is annoying me. They are ridiculously too big, maybe this is the first tim Apple disapointed me for their update. I've been searching for the solution to resize the icons' size. But probably there is none temporary. APPLE PLEASE BRING THE ICON SIZE BACK!!!!!

    How on earth did you figure that out?
    That worked fine for me on my macbook air, but I had to borrow the system file from my other computers time machine drive.
    I guess without a time machine backup, it can't be done.
    What is strange is, I actually like the 10.7.2 launchpad on my iMac, it looks much better,  the icons are well spaced, probably because it has a 27" screen, not a 13" one. It looks horrible for laptops!
    Apple Really really really need to add a preferences pane for launchpad.
    I'm glad my launchpad looks as great as it did before!
    Thanks for this amazing solution, if I have any issues with it I will post them here.
    So far so good though.
    Thanks!

  • I suddenly do not have the launchpad icon on my iMac What to do?

    I suddenly do not have the Launchpad icon on my iMac. What do I need to do?

    Probably you removed it from the Dock. To see if Launchpad is still in your computer, open a Finder window, choose "Applications" in the sidebar and look for Launchpad. If you find the icon, drag it to the Dock (the bar you can see at the bottom of the screen) so you can access to it easily.

  • Application Folder Icon Arrangement

    After updating to 10.4.10, my arrangement of my icons in the application folder always jumbles after a restart. I have renamed the finder preferences file, created a new finder preference file...still experiencing the "jumbled" look after restarting.
    This is a nusance because I have to rearrange the icons in the folder after each restart.
    Anyone else experience this? Any recommendations to fix this small issue?

    Thanks for the quick reply Kappy. Unfortunately the icon arrangement did not keep. I rebooted and the icons were out of tilt again. I immediately check the settings in the view options..."snap to grid" was still selected...
    At least I can say that I can replicate the problem...the culprit icons always seem to be Popcorn, Turbo Tax Premier 2005 Folder...they always end up on top with an additional blank space.

  • Launchpad icon flaw?

    My 'Launchpad' icon on the 'Dock' has what appears to be a scroll bar running across it.
    A folder inside 'Launchpad' also shows what appears to be a scroll bar.
    The 'Launchpad' icon on my 'Applications' folder looks just fine.
    This could be nothing, or it could be something very small that gets adressed. Either way, im curious to find out.
    I'm posting this not because i'm really concerned or as a complaint, but simply because little things like these can happen to all of us and it's the little things that make Apple products amazing, so reporting strange little things matter; In my opinnion.
    Snapshot of the issue:
    The two 'Launchpad' icons: Normal / Wierd
    link to snapshot : http://cl.ly/1C203k0K0A2D2Y3C2b2S   using 'Cloud' Utility App from App Store

    To the first question: try restarting. To the second: Yes, they show that the app is open.
