  • Launchpad icons rearranged at start up

    Every time I restart my machine the first page of the icons on Launchpad moves around.  There is no obvious pattern to this, just a general shuffling of the icons.  Anyone identified a cause/solution for this?
    thanks

    Thanks.  Having footled about with this a bit more it seems to be something to do with the order in which they are placed.  I can get them to stay pretty stable between reboots having moved them into place in turn, starting at the top left and working along each row to the right before going on to the next one.  The only thing which is now baffling me is why the final two keep switching round when I reboot.  Hopefully this will help someone work out what is going on and FIX it.  In the short term, hopefully this work around might help others.

  • Launchpad icons moving

    Since updating to OS X 10.9.2, my launchpad icons are rearranged every time I log in or restart.  I can see a number of threads about this happening in Lion, but I don't see any reports of it for Mavericks.  I've tried some of the solutions suggested in 2011 and 2012 but these didn't work.  E.g. the terminal cmmand to delete the database resulted in a file not found error. 
    Anyone else getting this problem?  Are there any fixes?

    More on this: I have forced the OS to rebuild the launchpad config.  It did so, sort of, with a mix of old and default layouts.  Now I also find the search box in Launchpad is inaccessible (something that happened intermittenly in the past), and it is no longer possible to rename folders in Launchpad.  It is well and truly pooched. 
    I have to say, other than Folder tab, I've found Mavericks to be a frustrating washout.  Problems other than Launchpad, I've been able to fix, but the maintenance required on this version is time consuming and annoying. Reminds me of Windows 2000.

  • 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.

  • Icons rearrange move after resetting / rebooting

    Every single time i reboot / reset my phone my icons rearrange / change order! how can i stop my phone from doing that? the older version OS didn't do that....it takes so much time to rearrange everytime i reboot, i am using the BB today plus theme .... i need this theme but don't want my icons moving everytime i reset phone...i have to reset phone constantly to delete messages that won't remove from home screen

    You can RE-Arrange each icon Individually by simply pressing the BLACKBERRY BUTTON then select MOVE and use the ball to Re-Arrange to where you like them ( Note this is done just on the phone itself the blackberry button is located to the right of the Green SEND button) Also make sure your NOT connected to the MEDIA MANAGER,DESKTOP or DEVICE Manager USB or BlueTooth.
    After the icons are set the way you like them connect the USB or BlueTooth with the Manager Program and perform a BACKUP.
    Now everytime you Restore or Backup again it will remain the way you placed them.
    Hope this helps

  • What does a double line underneath the launchpad icon mean?

    What does a double line underneath the launchpad icon mean?

    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

  • Launchpad randomly rearranges apps

    For some reason my launchpad will rearrange some of the apps/folders. It isn't all the time and it doesn't move a lot of apps, just a few apps and only a few spaces from their normal position. No one else uses the computer so I know it isn't someone else. Is there a way to stop launchpad from rearranging my apps?

    I am definitely having this problem as well. I was beginning to think it was just me, as not many people are talking about it. Not a very serious problem, I know, but it can impede my workflow when I have to search for an app that has decided to move places for no apparent reason.
    It seems to happen every time I restart, and possibly on some other random occasions. It really likes rearranging MS Office apps for some reason. I usually put Word next to Pages and they like to switch, causing me to open the wrong app and curse at my screen while I do a force quit. It even moved the MS Office folder I created full of those apps.
    It would be nice to have a fix for this, but in the mean time I'll just keep grumbling at my screen unpleasantly.

  • How do you restore the Launchpad icon to the Dock?

    Having deleted the Launchpad icon from the Dock during a "tidy up" - can it be restored?

    OMG. The one thing I didn't try & of course it's that simple.
    Thanks MacJack.

  • 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.

  • 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.
