Uninstalled App Icon Displays in Launchpad

When I updated to Lion, Launchpad added an icon for Adium to Launchpad. I have not used Adium for over a year, and I can find no trace of it anywhere in the Applications or Library folders. A search for "adium" returns no results and I followed all the uninstall directions from the Adium website.
I cannot drag the icon to the trash, and no "x" appears in "jiggle-mode" (not an App Store purchase). Very frustrating, anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

ITunes App icon displays incorrect number of updates

Am currently running iTunes 11.03 but this issue has been around for several months. The App icon in iTunes indicates there are 38 updates available. After downloading them and syncing with my iPhone 3GS, the icon contiues to indicate 38 updates being available. Is there a way to reset the update counter?

When the export conversion completed, the correct number of songs was displayed on both libraries. Thank You.

Can I hide an app icon on the launchpad?

Can I hide an app so that it doesn't show up on the Launchpad?
Can I change the icon for an app?
Thanks!

If you have several such items in the Launchpad, you can combine them into a folder-type (collection) icon. To do that, just drag one of them on top of another; when the second one highlights, let go. You can add more icons to that same collection. To use one of the items in a collection, click the collection's icon and it will open a sub-field in Launchpad, from which you can select the item you want.

App Icon Displays Wrong Date

The icon on my Mac for the application today is displaying yesterday's date (August 4) but when I open iCal it shows August 5 (the correct date). When I close iCal it goes back to displaying August 4. It looks like a script for the icon is being told to display a different date then my computer is showing in the menu bar next to the clock.

Hi! This bug is related to Leopard Time & Date underliying system and Apple Time server (Apple América/EE UU (time.apple.com)) and everything web based, not just Dashboard widgets... I tried to report this bug a while ago, but I cant find on Apple Web page the correct site to do this.
The problem symptoms are that every web page and dashboard widget that does a date calculation with results not localized, seem to get a 24 hour + result. I first tought it was a Webkit problem, but the problem is exactly the same on Firefox browser... Try this simple web page http://www.javascriptmall.com/jsc/jsC4Udate.htm with Safari and Firefox AND Timezone set to "Caracas - Venezuela". Opera does not show this problem but dashboard widgets does.
So this problem is symtem wide.
Hope this help! and someone report this bug to the correct people or point me to the correct site to report this myself!
Thank you very much.

Why my uninstalled apps still shown on launchpad?

please show me how to remove them,...

Oh, MY BAD! You are correct - the only ones that have the "x" are the ones from the App Store. I was thinking I had downloaded my Kindle app from Amazon....but it is in the App Store, so that is why it has the "x". My Microsoft apps....not so much....
Glad you got sorted, though! And sorry about the confusion!
Cheers,

The problem that app icons have a low resolution in Launchpad Screen

Here is a screenshot.
In Macbook pro with retina display, app icon often have a low resolution in Launchpad screen.
If the app install again after restarting the mac, the app icon in launchpad screen has normal resolution.
Do anyone know how to resove this problem?

Had this problem from time to time, at random, with Lion. After Mountain Lion it is a lot worse... many icons, non only personalized but also system icons, look blurry and pixelated...
I have done EVERYTHING I read on the many threads about this issue here at apple, as well as on other sites, but nothing helped... (removed thumbnails.data, delete caches, deleter .DS_store files, finder preferences, etc. etc. etc.).
This happens on both my macs, an iMac 2011 and a MacBookPro 2010...
How is it possible to have this BUG since the last 3 version of the OS, with Apple not solving the problem but rather getting worse?

Why are some app icons hi-def in the App Store, then pixelated when downloaded? (Even after uninstall/reinstall)? Any way to fix this?

Just as an example, TSN. The icon always appears as hi-def/Retina display in the app store if you search for it or it asks you to update, then when it updates it goes back to being pixelated. I can see if it is an app-specific issue but there are other apps like Bank of America which do the same thing. I don't think it's because they haven't updated the icon because they have, it appears perfect when viewed in the App Store. Uninstall/reinstall did not fix this. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated! It may sound minor, but it makes all the difference visually!

How pixelated could the app look like? The only reason why the app icon could look pixelated, is if you are using the iPhone 4 or iPod Touch 4th generation. They obviously have an upscaled resolution, so the apps could not have been upscaled when downloading... I am not sure about this issue...
Like you said, it is a minor issue...

Displaying Help Button \ Icon in Fiori Launchpad

Hello experts,
I have read that it is possible to display contextual help for different Fiori applications in the Fiori Launchpad header.
Question: Where do you define the Help URL that enables the Help button\Icon in Fiori Launchpad Header area?
thank you.
Rob.

Hello Masa,
I have a quick question.
As mentioned in the Adding and Removing Custom Items to the Options Menu - User Interface Add-On for SAP NetWeaver - SAP Library,
the following lines of codes needs to be added to create custom Buttons in the Fiorilaunchpad menu.
<SCRIPT language ="JavaScript">
var button1 = new sap.m.Button();
var rendererExt = sap.ushell.renderers.fiori2.RendererExtensions;
rendererExt.addOptionsActionSheetButton(button1,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Home,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Catalog,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.App);
rendererExt.removeOptionsActionSheetButton(button1,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Home,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.Catalog,rendererExt.LaunchpadState.App);
<SCRIPT>
Can you please tell, where these lines of code need to be added ?
should one directly modify FioriLaunchpad.html ?
Regards,
Anil

Calendar app icon is displaying the wrong date

For some reason on my iPhone's homescreen the icon for the Calendar app has today started displaying the wrong date.
It should show today's date, Monday 6th but instead it reads Sunday 5th.
What confuses me is that the phone does know the date is Monday 6th as the lock screen shows it correctly and also when I actually load the Calendar app it starts on the right date. Also, when I load the multi task bar the Calendar app icon there is correct. See the attached photo, which shows the Calendar app on the home screen (faded, middle left) displaying yesterdays date Sunday 5th, while the app icon in the multi task bar is correct, Monday 6th.
Syncing the calendar with my iMac does not correct the error. Equally, turning the phone off and on again has not sorted it.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing the fault? And more importantly how to correct it?
Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion DaVBMan, sadly it didn't work. The only thing that did work was to wait until midnight and it corrected itself. In the mind of the phone it lived a whole day twice and then skipped one completely in order to get back on track. Very odd and also I have since discovered it has happened to a few of my friends too.
It's not happened again so I have no idea what so ever what caused it. Fingers crossed it never recurs.

Cinnamon taskbar app icon not displaying properly for Sublime Text

Cinnamon is displaying Sublime Text's icon in the taskbar as a question mark. This is the only app it does it with and I'm having trouble finding out what's causing it to attempt to fix it. Different themes have no effect. Other programs installed from the AUR display just fine. The icon displays just fine in the main menu, but when I open it, the taskbar icon is just a '?'. Also I've tried this on Linux Mint 17.1 (also running Cinnamon 2.4) and the issue is not present there.
The closest I have come to figuring out what is causing the problem is through the looking glass. Under the Windows tab and the Application column, my other apps that are displaying fine have .desktop values, but Sublime Text is showing up as "<untracked>". However I can't right click, double click, or otherwise edit this value.
I have included two screenshots, the first shows that Sublime Text shows up fine in the main menu but not in the taskbar and the second shows Looking Glass.

I think I got the solution,
On the Desktop Entry tag of the .desktop file add the following
StartupWMClass=subl3
By running, as in one of the references,
$ xprop WM_CLASS
and then clicking on the Sublime Text application the following will show
WM_CLASS(STRING) = "subl3", "Subl3"
In my case it was subl3 so, replace with one of the results from command.
Here is the reference:
The .desktop file from libreoffice-writer as it in previous iterations it also had a similar problem
Add WMCLASS to desktop file in linux http://support.mendeley.com/customer/po … e-in-linux
Check which process it needs to track http://superuser.com/questions/142318/h … xorg-linux

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

I have just updated to ISO 8 and my app icons are not displaying the correct icon but just a generic icon. Anyone had a similar problem?

That happened to me for a short period of time after I updated. It didn't do it with all apps, but it did it with a few here and there. Try a few basic standard troubleshooting steps. Close all apps and reset the iPad.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can also try resetting all settings. You will not lose any data, but most of the device settings will have to be entered in the settings app again. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
Hopefully it will be something simple, but don't rule out restoring the iOS software, if nothing else works, but start with this easy stuff first.

What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word "installed" next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes list of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display?

What is the meaning, or significance, of the greyed out word “installed” next to the iBooks app icon in the iTunes lists of apps on my new iPhone6, or slightly older iPad mini, retina display? Both devices have iOS8.0.2 installed. Both are having problems downloading some books that had been purchased previously for other devices. And, before installing iOS8, the full list of had been downloaded to the iPad mini with iOS7.
Finding out what the greyed outness means may help me figure out how to get all my books loaded on both devices. Any suggestions how to do that also would be appreciated.

Thank you. Your explanation of why the word "installed" is greyed out makes sense. But that raises the further question of why then is it shown at all. There are other apps on both devices that can not be removed,and they are just not shown. This is the only app that has the greyed out "install" notation. All of the other apps shown are either identified by "remove" meaning it is installed and can be removed; "install" meaning it is not installed but can be; or "update" meaning it has been replaced by a more current version which can be installed.
All of the books that I want to install have been on an iPhone4 that was replaced by the iPhone6, and were on the iPad Mini with iOS7 before iOS8 was installed. Installation of iOS8 on the iPad removed all of the books and only a few of them were later added by syncing with iTunes. Since most of the books I am interested in are free or of small cost, I would be happy to delete all of them from iTunes and then reinstall the ones I want directly on the devices. But I have not been able to delete them and when I try to install them on a device I am told that they already have been downloaded. Very frustrating.

I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons. The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped.

Can anyone help please?

Have you checked to see if the Apps have been placed in an App folder?
Try swiping down from the middle of the screen so the search bar appears. Type the name of the App and if the App appears it is indeed on your phone.
You could also try restarting your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears.

How do I stop Launchpad renaming my App Icons with the wrong name

How do I stop Launchpad renaming my App Icons with the wrong name (E.G. Evernote is now called Google Chrome). Also, how do I change the name back to what it is supposed to be.
Why do some of my app icons dissappear altogether? This feels very buggy to me.

It sorted itself out. A glitch?
