Remove non apple app from Launchpad

How do you remove a non Apple App from Launchpad without deleting it from the PC?

Place all of the non Apple apps into a folder within Launchpad.
At least... the non Apple apps won't be spread across Launchpad.

Removing apps from Launchpad

I'm trying to remove some apps from launchpad. I can't find them in the applications folder or anywhere with finder. Tried dragging them to Trash but they just 'fly' back to the Launchpad. Any ideas?

Have you tried using Spotlight to search for them? You can try using one of these programs.
EasyFind – Spotlight Replacement
Find Any File
Launchpad is affected by the Dock. Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
killall Dock

Yes, actually there is a free Nook app. It does not offer in app book purchases, but syncs to the Barnes and Noble account (book are actually purchased from the web site and then downloaded in the app).

Open the Settings App and change the ID in the following areas as they apply:

How to get Apple to remove a defective app from the App Store

The first app I paid for in the App Store turned out to be defective and is at worst incompatible with the iPhone 4 and is at best badly designed even for the iPhone 3. The developer has not responded to my e-mails. How do I get Apple to remove the defective app from the App Store?

What app?

Non-Apple apps don't open after iOS5 upgrade (with fix)

Hi, I thought I'd add this thread in case it's useful to someone else with the same problem.
I had a iPhone 4 on latest 4.3.5 and upgraded via iTunes to iOS5 this morning.
None of my non-Apple apps would open, they'd just open and close instantly. So Facebook, Tweetdeck, Things, BBC News etc wouldn't work but ones like Reminders, App Store etc would.
I did a restore and restore from a backup and this didn't fix the problem.
I removed the apps from memory (home double-click) and rebooted the phone and still the non-Apple apps wouldn't load.
So finally I thought I'd reinstall the apps from scratch, deleted Facebook and grabbed it again from the App Store.
This worked and fired up as normal, tried the others non-Apple apps and they all work too!
No idea why, not sure if it's specifically the Facebook app or if I could have done that too any of them.
All sorted now and iOS5 is lovely

Confirmed!
I had the same problem, deleted a weather app (so no valuable data attached to it) re-installed it and all the other apps seem to work again.
Which single app you delete & reload doesn't seem to matter, I think you just need to re-establish the connection between the device and your App Store account in order to trigger some kind of background authorization.
It might also work by deleting nothing and just grabbing a new, free app.

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.

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!

Since upgrading to IOS 6, the majority of my apps are crashing after a few seconds, including Safari, App Store, I Books and also non apple apps like BBC News etc.
I have:

Restored
Tried the date and time change (not affective)
I cant at the moment even add any new apps or reinstall as this crashes.
This is so frustrating! Any one have a fix?
Thanks, Nick

Removed all plugins in safari folder

Anyone have any suggestion. They would be greatly appreciated.

All Non-Apple Apps Keep Crashing

I updated the firmware on my friend's iPhone 3Gs from 4.1 to 4.3.3 using my computer. This is not the computer that my friend used to sync the iPhone and it was the first time when the iPhone was synced to my computer. I noticed now that all non-Apple apps crash when I try to start them. How could I fix this problem? Should I tell my friend to sync the 3Gs on the computer where it was synced before? Thanks.

Thanks. It worked, indeed!

How do I open non apple apps on my macbook pro

How do I open non apple apps on my macbook pro? I can't open ever since I downloaded os x maverick

If you already changed System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Allow apps downloaded from: to Anywhere then issue is not Gatekeeper which is the built-in service that prevents apps from unidentified developers from being executed. It's possible that you need to either reinstall the App or maybe is simply not compatible with Mavericks yet. In any event you should be able to at-least look for a crash log for more information.

Non Apple Apps not working with Not.Centre

I've restored my iphone 4 twice now, each time I've started a new phone and gone through the set up on the phone. I've tested my mail app, messages app and reminders app and they work faultless with Not.Centre but when I downloaded Twitter Inc. from the app store and got an @ reply, I didn't get a notification. I've gone through all the settings, in both the Settings App and even within Twitter itself and have TURNED ON all notifications but still nothing.
I'm not going to restore again, it's just a waste of time. Does anybody have a fix for this?
Cheers.

Hi Groovy32,
So after the iOS update all Apple apps work fine but no non-Apple apps work? I just updated my iPhone 6 Plus last night and haven't seen an issue so let's go further with troubleshooting as in
If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support
For example, check for App updates, try installing another app or deleting and reinstalling one that's not working.

How to remove an apple ID from my Iphone

How can I remove the apple ID from my Iphone and install another apple ID?

Remove it from where ? If for the stores then you can log out of an account by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store and you can then log in with a different account - but any content that was downloaded by the currently logged in account will remain tied to it, so only that account can potentially redownload those items, download updates to its apps and do in-app purchases in them.
If you mean for the cloud then Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and you can then log in with a different account

Starting apps from launchpad stops working

This issue is intermittent. All of a sudden, when I try to start an app from Launchpad nothing happens. But I am able to start apps via the Dock.
This happens on my Macbook Air but not on my Mac mini, although both have Yosemite. I have tried doing a clean install but the issue continues. Restarting fixes the issue. I am not aware of what triggers this to start. It appears to be random. Everything is working fine and then all of a sudden I can no longer start apps from Launchpad.
Through searching I can't seem to find any evidence of this occurring to anyone else.
Cheers

So I just now had an occurrence of the app-starting in Launchpad issue. I tried the terminal commands. I entered both commands. After the second one "killall Dock", screen went black except for the menu bar and the terminal window. I didn't see anything else happening so then I selected Restart from the apple menu.
So effectively, I ended up doing a restart as I have done before which resets the problem anyway. Whether or not the issue has been resolved permanently by issuing these commands is another question and will take time to get any certainty about.
But the person who found these commands was having a different type of problem with the Launchpad in Yosemite, so I'm not sure about this. I am tempted to try a clean reinstall of Yosemite, but this time doing absolutely no restoring of any user files with Time Machine/Migration Assistant in case that carries over some bad setups. I will only make manually copied backups of any user files that I want to carry over.
Cheers
