Maximum number of icons/apps in Launchpad folder??

I've just installed OSX Mountain Lion on my system, and I'm not sure if I like it yet.  While Launchpad is a great idea, it seems very limited in terms of what it can do.  Specifically, I can't put more than 28 items (apps / icons) into a Launchpad folder.  I've got a utilities folder created, and I have more than 28 apps that fit into this category which I would like to go into that folder.  Is there a preferences or settings for Launchpad that one can use to manage it with?

I am talking about folders, NOT pages.  When you create a folder in Launchpad, it seems you can only put 28 apps into a folder...MAXIMUM!

  • Maximum number of emails supported in a folder

    Hi Guys,
    What is the maximum number of emails you can in one folder on iPhone 5S?
    We have a user whose Exchange mailbox is around 16.5GB and he has about 93K items overall and around 20K in the sent items. Intermittently he loses emails from his Sent Items going back to March 2010. Then it takes days to re-sync the Sent Items folders. This happens on his iPhone 5S(iPhone6C2/1104.257) and iPad2C1, we use Exchange Activesync.
    Thanks

    The theoretical limit is the NTFS volume limit. This is provided in the below article.

    However the practical limit depends on your application and business scenario. You can read about FILESTREAM and FileTable internals and about performance considerations from the below excellent article

  • Maximum number of files supported in a folder for FileTable feature

    Hi,
    I have implemented a solution using SQL 2012 FileTable with an expected workload of 150K files a year. File's size is not that big, just a few KB EDI file but I am wondering what is supported/recommended limit of number of files in a folder for FileTable?
    Thanks

  • How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.

    How can I delete an app from launchpad, that doesn't have the little cross in the left top corner. The app isn't an App Store app. The application is also not present anymore in my application's folder in finder.
    I tried to use the attached command through TERMINAL :
    sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';" && killall Dock
    sqlite3: Error: too many options: "DELETE from apps WHERE title='Help';"
    Use -help for a list of options.
    But i didn't work as I got the above error message.
    best regards

    I'm in the same boat as you -- except that I manage both a school lab (volunteer job) and macs in the enterprise (pay job).  What I think we need is the Education Volume Purchasing Program
    http://www.apple.com/education/volume-purchase-program/faq.html
    Unfortunately this all seems a little rough around the edges -- for example, I have found updates for AppStore apps on the support.apple.com updates download site, but then when I install them via ARD they don't actually update the software.  (The AppStore icons still show as needing the updates, and the version info reports the old version.)  The documentation is also vague about which AppleID to use in which circumstance.  I think they just haven't finished thinking through the implications of the various procedures and policies upon the various kinds of customers.  When we deployed Mountain Lion on the school lab, we made an install usb and went around and installed it on each computer -- and it appears that you are on the honor system as far as paying for all of the licenses that you install.  We did!  But they appear to have no way to enforce it.
    So far, I have only deployed 9 Lion macs in my day job, and our "solution" to the AppStore showing updates problem has been to drag the AppStore icon off of the users' docks so they don't see them!

  • My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.

    My Mavericks upgrade crashed my hard drive and I had to reinstall Mountain Lion.  Now I cannot get any of the apps that I purchased to download.  The icons on the launchpad just say "waiting" no matter what I try.  My app store ID is fine.  What do I do?

    Are you now using a different username from the one you used prior to migrating? If so that is the reason for the problem. You might, then, give this a try:
    To fix Home folder permissions
    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder.  At the command line prompt enter or paste the following command line:
    sudo chown -R `id -un`:`id -gn` ~
    Press RETURN.  You will be prompted to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.

  • Maximum number of app folders

    Can anyone tell me what is the maximum number of app folders one can have in the iphone?
    Thanks

    You can create up to 11 Home screens and you can put up to 12 apps in a folder, you can create up to 16 folders per home screen.  You will of course be unable to move some of the preinstalled apps into folders so you should bear that in mind.

  • Maximum number of files in a folder ?

    Hello, what is the maximum number of files in a folder OS X can handle ?
    I used a file recovery software called FileSalvage to save some files of an external 300GB with a corrupted disk directory (unable to repair with the usual repair/recovery programs).
    FileSalvage recovered about 435,000 files and sorted them by extension in individual folders, unfortunately it does not recognize the file names and just sequentially names the files per extension.
    The .jpeg, .gif and .html folders had up to 75,000 files. After recovery the external FW drives started to behave very strange, unresponsive, just hanging, time-out. I tried on a Mac Mini, iMac G5, an iBook and PowerBook, OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.3, FW400/800 and USB 2.0 interface, they all had pretty much the same failure mode after a while.
    Running Disk Utility on the drives with the recovered FileSalvage folders showed a corrupted directory (invalid file count) and unable to repair, although I could copy most of the folders of the disk (deleted the folders with more than 10,000 files per folder).
    I suspect that File Salvage copies more files in a folder than OS X allows, causing unpredicable problems.
    Any ideas ?

    From "Mac OS X: Mac OS Extended Format volume and file limits"
    "Maximum number of files (or files and folders) in a folder … up to 2.1 billion"
    According to a note in the document, the above is subject to the drive's size (maximum 16 terabytes in "Tiger") and block size, ie. the number of available blocks.
    So it would appear that the number of files you mentioned would be well within theoretical limits, although I suppose there could be a bug in some other part of OS X. Otherwise, maybe there is a problem with the drive...

  • When I try to put the icon in the applications folder, it says it can't install it because this file is in use: libsoftokn3.dylib. Ihave closed all apps and I have no idea what this is.

    When I try to put the updated Firefox icon into my applications folder, I see this message:
    The operation can’t be completed because the item “libsoftokn3.dylib” is in use.
    I have closed all apps and don't understand what this refers to.
    Thanks!

  • Launchpad Icons/Apps randomly change position

    Trying to get used to using Launchpad and initially spent a lot of time getting the location of each icon/app where I wanted them.  Randomly through the day though - and for no common reason I've come up with, they seem to the layout gets all messed up.  Anyone seeing the same?  Any ideas on how to maybe lock these in position once I get all where I want them again? -- B

    Same problem. The icons aren't on the position, I gave them.
    Since upgrading to Lion, I have 3 big problems: Launchpad, Black Screen of Death, Magic Mouse doesn't scrolling after BSOD.
    Sorry, but Lion was failure. Thanks Apple!

  • Syncing & maximum number of devices for one app?

    I am setting up five iPads for a small business.  They are supposed to be identical -- same Apple ID for all of them, same apps, files, settings, &c.  I am still working out some of the syncing and access restriction settings.  However the business posed a question to me, and I haven't been able to find an answer online:
    If an app is purchased once, on how many devices may it be installed?
    That is, if an app is purchased for this business on one iPad, can it be downloaded onto the other iPads without further payment?  Is there a maximum number of iPads onto which an app can be installed, with additional devices incurring extra fees?  Would this number vary by app, and if so, is there a way to find out the maximum before purchasing and installing the app?

  • I've a Single Folio app with 1526 articles. Its there a maximum number for articles per Folio?

    Helo! I've created a Single Folio app with 1526 articles.
    It works in the generic Adobe Content Viewer, but does not work on my custom App.
    It shutdowns after splash window.
    Could someone help me?
    Elismar

    Changing settings? What part of setting?
    My guess is that if you have so many articles, and each article need some particular files in the .folio file, then the Viewer make a mistake trying load all files in the same moment, causing auto shutdown. And, I'm using the iPad 3 to test it.
    So, would be fine if someone could give me numbers about the maximum number of articles suggested to put in a Folio Issue.
    And yes, I'm publishing the Bible!

  • What is maximum number of tables that can be used to create HTMLDB app?

    What is the maximum number of tables that can be used to create an HTMLDB app? There seems to be a 10-table limit?
    Thanks.

    I have over 200 photos in my book and it was accepted. There is a limit on each widget though. The interactive widget seems to have a limit of around 30 or 40.

  • What is the maximum number of 263 byte text files that can fit in a folder?

    what is the maximum number of 263 byte text files that can fit in a folder - on a windows 2000 operating system?
    I created a java program that creates these text files.
    It was set to loop 30,000 times.
    It created a total of 21874 html files before throwing a null exception.
    I tried to copy and paste 10 more html files manually and it said not enough disk space.
    however, I made a New Folder in that same folder and I was able to successfully paste the folders in
    there.
    That's interesting.
    It appears there is a size limit in each folder, BUT I can make another folder within that and successfully paste more html files in there
    Does anyone know the rules governing this feature.
    Stephen

    Whatever the answer is, it has nothing to do with Java programming. Microsoft might know, though, and that's where you should look.

  • Maximum number displayed files in Folder in Dock?

    One of our users has over 800 files saved directly in her Documents folder. We keep this folder in the usual location, and also have it displayed in the Dock as a "list". When she clicks on the folder, about the first half of the files show up - if displayed alphabetically for example, she gets A - M.
    Does anyone know if this is fixable? I'm assuming here that there is some maximum number of displayed files which maybe I can fix by editing a .plist or something. It drives her nuts to have to do the "open in Finder" thing half the time, but not the other half of the time (obviously, when she opens this folder as a Finder window everything is there, it is only the display in the Dock which refuses to show all items).
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the info. There is indeed a maximum number of files that the dock will show in the contextual menu. Yeah, it would be best if the user wouldn't keep everything organized like that, but it isn't possible to lean over someone's shoulder all the time...

  • Maximum number of Folder tabs??

    Is there a maximum number of folder tabs you can have on a form?  If I add 12 folders to a form (and open the form in B1), I am not able to click on any of the folder tabs past the 9th folder.
    To see what I mean, open the ComplexForm sample project.  In the "Adding Folder Items" section, change the number of loop iterations to 10 (or higher).  Then try to click on that 10th form when you run the project.

    I'm currently having the exact same problem with using more than 9 folders.
    I've managed to create a new set of folders so that when clicked they now look as if they are selected however as they are not grouped with the other folders when clicked the selected folder from the other group of folders doesn't deselect. Another problem I've got is positioning the new folders so it looks as if they are in the same group as the others as currently I can place them in the correct left position however you can see where they overlap.
    Thanks
