Screen flicker on rMBP (in launch pad)

Hi all, I've recently installed Mountain Lion and am getting a screen flicker in launch pad. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue?
The problem arises when you try and access a folder of applications in launch pad.
I have a MacBook Pro retina. 2.3Ghz; 16Gb ram; 250Gb.

I'm having a similar problem with the dock when I'm using my 720p television as a second monitor through the HDMI connection on my rMBP. I've attached a couple of screen shots for your information, and to show the apple reps when I call them back ...
Up to this point, I clean installed Mountain Lion and started a fresh user account. I didn't notice the "jitter" at that point. So, I reinstalled ML for a second time, using the account migration feature without transferring my settings. The jittering dock returns.
What next?

I have the magic mouse, don't know whether it is something to do with that? Any ideas?

If gumsie's suggestion isn't the answer, try logging into another account, like Guest, and see if you get the same behavior. You may need to clean the windows on the bottom of the mouse.

How do you limit the content of Launch pad screens

How do you limit the content of Launch pad screens - mine is cluttered with many applications - which are all valid - but many are so raely used they are causing me to have two screes - I want one screen possibly half filled. Can anybody help...

I believe you need to manually delete them one at a time..
Are the emails from an IMAP account(s)

Bought a mac for my sons bday present of eBay :( it starts up in osx utilities screen, iv never seen the actual desktop(launch pad) I dnt know how to access the systemI know the basics for start up but says to delete files so I can dwnload the software?

AS above states the computer seems to run normally as far as turning it on, tabs & pages are fine. But I can't access the system to delete some files.. Which is what the 'error' keeps saying everytime I tr and download a helpful link/app or software.. The instal disc that seems to be stored on the comp says its mountain lion 10.8 install disk 'read only' & this is the only disc it gives me to select to startup.. I have the full software on USB as its very large.. So .. PLEASE TELL ME finally,
HOW to ... Access comp files to delete required memory for software install?? If this is the best option..
HOW to ... Erase everything on computer & install 10.8 via USB?
And when or what enables me to see and use this computer correctly..ie, launch pad? Etc..
PLease reply back in 'normal terms' as I'm already exceeding my boundaries of imac knowledge

First: no, you cannot use someone else's install DVD unless it is a retail version; all others are machine specific. It will not work and would be illegal.
Is this what you bought?
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_cd_2.0_20.html
IF that is correct, then you are not on 10.8 because the highest OS it can go to would be 10.6
So, you'd either need the original install disks (preferred) or buy a retail Snow Leopard (10.6) - that is as high as you can go with that machine. And, your maximum RAM is 2 GB, so you couldn't go higher with the OS because of that either because it would not run well on 2 GB.
If you do get 10.6, then I'd suggest increasing the RAM to the max. of 2 GB.
If this is not the machine you got (maybe the seller just used any old box), then I'd suggest taking it to an Apple store/Genius Bar to have them sort out how to get out of this mess.

13" MacBook Pro - Screen Flicker / Windows 7 Bootcamp

I have a 13" MackBook Pro with Retina display that I purchased last December (8 months old). I am running Windows 7 in Bootcamp and the last few months the screen flickers on occasion (becoming more frequent). I launched the Mac OS to ensure I have the latest updates and I believe I do (nothing new to install within the Mac OS). Majority of the time I'm hooked up to an external monitor / lid is closed, but obviously that is a challenge when traveling.
I did do some searches and see other posts around screen flicker issues, but those appear to be on the Mac OS side. What is odd about my scenario is that it only seems to appear on the Windows 7 side. I can't seem to find a fix for this / really would hate to have to reload the machine.

Running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 on my brand new 15" MBP right now.
The only problem I'm having is the USB controller issue that is reported in the following thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2411685&start=30&tstart=0
I ran the Boot Camp assistant, made the partition, rebooted with my 7 DVD, formatted the partition, performed a clean installation, & then installed the drivers from the OSX DVD when Windows booted the first time.
Replaced the NVIDIA drivers with the latest Verde release. 258.96notebook_winvista_win7_64bit_internationalwhql.exe
Everything seems to be running just fine at this point.

Why do some Apps(programs) appear in my dock, but not in my launch pad?

I recently downloaded Open Office and Adobe Photo Shop 12 . Photo shop appears in both my dock and launch pad. However Appace Open Office just appears in my dock, but not my launch pad, and also the open office little disk or cd reader icon (white 3d rectangle with image of black slot in front) appears on the right side of my screen. I can't eject it because I get a popup that says it is being used by "Open Office" and I have to quit the application to eject it. My question is if I quit the application using "Command" Q and then eject "Open Office" will I loose open office and have to downlad it again?
I think I answere my question.
I clicked on the Open Office Icon in my dock, had it go to "Finder" then ejected the "Open Office" disck reader icon and it went away from my screen.
I then went to "Finder" and opened it up and Lo and Behold "Open Office" disappeared from there too. Boy that sure is crappy.
So I downloaded it again.
Is there anyway to clean up the desktop so I don't have those silly images hanging around?

There have always, well for the past few years, written installers that just create a mess. All installed applications should appear in Finder, Applications. Not all of those will appear in Launchpad. When you encounter one that does not appear in the correct way, all you can do is manually move things around so it is consistent with the way apps should work.

I accidentally deleted launch pad icon, how can I reinstall it?

I accidentally deleted the launch pad icon from the bottom menu bar when I downloaded a game. How can I put it back in?

Go to Finder>Applications and then click on LaunchPad. It then should go to the Dock. The Dock is the row of App icons usually at the bottom of the screen.
Then right click on the LauchPad icon and go to Options and select Keep in Dock

BI 4.0 Launch Pad will Freeze When Attempting to Schedule a Report

I recently set up BI 4.0 Edge series onto my server running MicroSoft server 2008 R2. The install completed without error so I began implementing 'Best Practice' Crystal Reports. When attempting to schedule these reports within the BI 4.0 launch pad I ran into an issue.
After clicking 'Schedule' the IE browser freezes with the schedule options available to be seen but not interact with and the loading pinwheel frozen in the center of the screen.
I am running IE9 but I have run both IE8 and IE9 on other systems without fail so I don't think that's the issue. I've also tried resizing the APS to allow more RAM to the platform processes as well as split the services into separate servers all without success.
The browser also freezes when I attempt to click the 'Preferences' button on the launch pad home page, but I can open the Web Intelligence Application with no problems.
This is a particularly frustrating issue since I can navigate within the CMC with excellent response time from the system. The rest of the launch pad is as reponsive as the CMC. I can navigate in and out of folders fine, but when I try any command by right-clicking on a report
If anyone has any suggestions on what could be causing the browser to freeze during these transactions I would greatly appreciate it. Iu2019ve tried to run a Repair on the Edge series application and I would like to avoid a complete re-install.

Only IE8 is supported, how about another browser like Firefox on same machine. No need to re-install, you can try to undeploy -> redeploy the web app using WDeploy but it seems to be machine specific.

Enabling of collaboration launch pad

Hi All,
I have recently installed portal and knowledge management
I need to enable the collaboration launch pad and also the search box in the Tools Area of the portal inorder to search data repositories
Can anyone tell me the procedure how to enable these two things in the portal
Thanks in advance

Hi rev,
To enable Collaboration Launch Pad you have to
1Select the Tool Area iView checkbox.
2.Choose Open. The Property Editor page displays.
3.Choose Show All in the Property Category drop list menu.
4.Choose Enable Collaboration Lauch Pad properties.
5.Select Yes radio button.
6.Choose Save
7.Choose Close.
8.Choose F5 to refresh your portal screen.
To activate the RTC Session Manager, perform the following steps:
1Go to the default framework page.
Enterprise Portal     Portal Content u00AE Portal Users u00AE Standard Portal Users u00AE Default Framework Page.
2Double-click Default Framework Page.
3Select the Tool Area iView checkbox and choose Open.
4Choose Show All in the Property Editor drop list menu.
5Expand the Enable Real-Time Collaboration properties.
6Select Yes radio button.
7Choose Save.
8Choose Close.
9Choose F5 to refresh your portal screen.
To Enable searching you have to install Trex. Below are the steps to register Trex with portal.
To register TREX hosts with the Portal, you have to first locate the name server and port of the TREX Installation. This is located in sapmsg.ini. You have to then set up the TREX name server in the J2EE Engine with the Visual Administrator.
Procedure
To locate the name server and port
1.     Log on to the server with Administrator privileges.
2.     Navigate to the installation folder of TREX (that is C:\usr\sap\trex_00\).
3.     Double-click sapprofile.ini to open the file in Notepad.
4.     Make a note of the port number. The default is 30001. You will need to enter this port number to the J2EE Visual Administrator in a later step.
To set up the TREX name server in the J2EE Engine
1.     Open Windows Explorer in the server.
2.     Navigate to J2EE Admin installation directory (that is C:\usr\sap\[SID]\JC##\j2ee\admin).
3.     Double-click go.bat to start the J2EE Visual Administrator.
4.     Log on to the Visual Administrator.
5.     Choose Global Configuration  Services  TREX Service.
6.     Select the nameserver.address properties field.
7.     Enter the server name of the TREX instance and the port number.
8.     Choose Update.
9.     Choose the Save button.
10.     Select Yes to restart the TREX Service.
11.     To exit the J2EE Visual Administrator, choose Close  Exit.
Check the connection to the Enterprise Portal
1.     Log on to the Enterprise Portal with super-administrator permissions.
2.     Choose System Administration  Monitoring  Knowledge Management  TREX Monitor  Server Status.
You should see the status of the HTTP Server, Name Server, Queue Server, and Index Server is Available.

Parth
**Points will be welcomed**

Collaboration Launch Pad Link dissapeared from Toolbar

Hello,
I need help with the Collaboration Launch Pad.
According to the SAP Help I have configured the CLP, so that it shows the link on the toolbar in the top portion of the screen. It worked fine, until some time ago, when it stopped showing in the toolbar. We installed a TREX Patch somewhere around that time, but I cannot imagine that that could be the cause.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I already found out, what the problem was. The delta-linked iView Tool Area in the Default Framework Page got somehow corrupted (don't know why - it had two instances of the parameter "Enable Collaboration Launch Pad"), I deleted it and copied the original Tool Area iView into the page again. Then I have set the "Enable Collaboration Launch Pad" property to true and voila, the link was here again

Can we increase size of launch pad dots

We're teaching seniors how to use Mac OS X. We've already increased the size of the cusor (either Accessibility or Universal Access depending on whether you have Lion or Mountain Lion) so now the seniors aren't having too much of a problem finding their mouse pointer.
However, when we go to Launch Pad, where we have two screens of applications, many of them can't reach the second screen. Normally, the tip of the mouse pointer arrow is the "active" part of the pointer but not when you've increased the size of the pointer. The dots on the Launch Pad screen are so small, many of our seniors haven't been able to find the correct location to have the arrow on the dot in order to display the second screen, or to get back to the first screen if they're lucky enough to get to the second screen.
We're now resorting to having them use the keyboard shortcuts because using the mouse just isn't time effective and it's frustrating to the seniors. Is there an option that we haven't been able to find which would allow us to increase the size of those dots so it would be easier for our seniors to click on them?
Now, I know someone is going to respond about using the two finger swipe on either the Magic Mouse or the Magic Trackpad. We're a SeniorNet Computer Learning Center so we teach both Windows and Apple classes. We're using Mac minis and Windows style mice and keyboards. We can't afford to buy either the Magic Mouse of the Magic Trackpad for our Apple systems.

Launch Pad Icons appear small on my MacBook Air

How do I change the size of my icons in the Launch Pad. My icons appear a lot smaller then the icons I've seen on the new MacBook Airs at the Apple stores.

There's not a setting to change the size, they should autosize for an 8 x 5 matrix that fills the screen.

When i open launch pad it shows many applications open how to close these

when i open launch pad i have many screens open showing all applications how can i close these

Launchpad is not a listing of open applications, but rather ones you can launch. command-tab is what shows the actual open applications. Also if you configure your Dock settings in Apple menu -> System Preferences, a dot will appear under each open application. The rest are just shortcuts to applications in your Applications folder, or wherever you dragged them from.

IPad 2 screen flicker when quickly sleep then wake. can people test this on their iPad 2?

Hi.
As the title says if i quickly press the sleep/wake button a few times quickly there will be a screen flicker with lines on the screen for a split second, can people test this for me to see if it's software related? 3 of the 5 ipad's i've tested this on has the issue. Does your iPad 2 do this? thanks

This is happening to a lot of iPad 2's. Glad it wasn't just me.
I had my first iPad 2 from the uk launch day and I was disappointed when I realised mine was showing significant lines on the screen when it was activated. It gradually got worse until the point I had to take it back tothe retailer I bought it from (comet uk). I was appaled with their 3 DAY retun period. But, after a loooooong phonecall to their head office and AppleCare and with a great deal of arguing they gave my money back. I then bought one from the apple store. Got home and found that the SAME THING was happening. But worse.
Took it back yet again and got another that finally works.
Just to let you all know it is a hardware fault and it isn't normal. Take it back to wherever you got it. It isn't a software glitch either as I updated to the latest at the time with no luck. Tried wiping all my data off it too with no luck.
I've lost my respect for my iPad 2 and apple as it's ridiculous that everybody hypes the products and then when you spend all that money it doesn't work. Third time lucky though, eh?
