Why does LaunchPad show some of my applications to be in folders that just don't exist?

I had a crap ton of apps in my Applications folder, and I just noticed that in LaunchPad many of those applications are grouped in 'folders' that simply don't exist as subfolders of my Applications folder.  Is there a limit on the number of screens that LaunchPad can have?  if so, this might explain the organizational compression.
Below is a screenshot of what I'm seeing.  In the top row, there are a bunch of 'Script Debugger 4.5.6' folders that just plain don't exist in my Applications folders.  And yet LaunchPad shows them holding a bunch of apps.  Those apps ought to appear along with all the other non-foldered apps on my system.
Am I doing something wrong?  This is pretty much a stock system, right now.  It was set up using migration assistant with a 10.6 system.
Thanks for any advice on 'fixing' (or 'coping with') this that people can shoot my way.

run this script in terminal. It will reset to the default (it funtions like the reset homepage layout funtion in IOS)
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db

  • Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer?

    Why does firefox show up as a plugin on volume mixer? After updating a flash plugin into firefox (when it had requested me to update it), it no longer shows up as firefox in volume mixer. It now shows up as some plugin icon. I really don't understand this, and wish it to be the firefox icon again. What is going on and what happened? It names itself "Plugin Container For Firefox" What does that mean? It has been this way ever since, and nothing I have done has fixed this. Restarting, refreshing, reinstalling, clearing cache, etc. Can anyone think of something please? :(
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == This happened just a couple days ago (june 25, 2010 exactly)

    I have this, but my volume on firefox doesnt work at all

    Download it again, don't install again and the file (Lion Installer.app) will be in your applications folder.
    It is deleted after installation, that's why it can't be found.

  • The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type.  Why does it reject some and accept others?

    Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
    I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
    The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
    Any advice gratefully received!

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album art only on my ipod and not on itunes? Is there any way I can fix it?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen. why does it show the wrong album artwork on my ipod and it's fine on itunes. why is that and is there any way to fix it? please help!

    I think it can't find the right or any artwork and ends up putting junk in there.
    And can happen with artist and other tags.
    probably fine with commercial media but otherwise....? I think you have to manaully go in and edit
    I also don't like how it handles and stores non-Apple iTunes store content.

  • Why does listener show +ASM1 as BLOCKED

    I did a lsnrctl status on the listener and it showed that +ASM1 status as BLOCKED. Why does listener show ASM instance as blocked? How does the agent connect to ASM instance if it is blocked?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I assume the ASM entry that you are showing refers to what should be in db_1/network/admin/tnsnames.ora?
    My tnsnames.ora does not have an ASM entry at all, and I am experiencing the same issue as the original poster. Should I add one and restart ?
    Thanks,
    Colm.
