Why is launchpad so user unfriendly and why has launchpad control been blocked?

Launchpad control is well known to be user unfriendly, with the whole deleting non app store apps not possible (inluding uninstall packages...) but now a recent update even seems to have blocked Launchpad control from working. Why must you abuse us so apple? It wasn't a perfect solution but it was a **** sight better than the nothing offered officially. It has now rendered my launchpad so cluttered as to essentially be useless...

But why is being able to organise Launchpad not included as a basic function of OSX Mountain Lion like say, Dashboard. It seems unfair that a German student should have to spend his time trying to fix this most basic of useability issues and then be thwarted at every step of the way by updates that appear to deliberately seal the method previously used by his solution?

  • Why my Apple ID stopped when I buy and why the supporter can't help and why they don't reply to any email I send

    As I said in my above reply we are fellow users, we won't know why your account is disabled.
    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why is my account being blocked from buying diamonds inthe iron force game. I am trying to buy the diamond mine for $ 99.99 and the system has blocked me for the past 3 days and itunes has not resolved the blocking problem. I see many other complaints her

    Why is itunes blocking my and others accounts from buying diamonds and cash in the iron force game. I have been blocked for the past 3day April 28_29_30from being able to buy the diamond mine 1650 diamonds for $ 99.99 and another package of diamonds for $ 49.99' this looks like the old bait an d switch game where a great deal is offered and then you adore forced to buy something less expensive. I have been in computer business for over 30 yrs and all iyunes needs to do is reset the accounts on their system yet they don't want to do that. Also of note I was allowed to buy small amounts of diamonds only to see that some were taken from my account when I was signed and no message as to why this was done. I had 1230 diamonds and did. Not play the game an the next thing was I had only 1170 diamond?.? What's that all about. Itunes is not respecting customers or. Good business practices. And very. Stupid for not selling uds , the customers the products so itunes can really make more money. I have spent many hours on the phone to resolve this only. To get the run around
    Nd.  Come on itunes reset set our accoummnts and let us buy.   We will all have more fun and you get more money. Can't remember ber the last group who turned their back on nmoney but itunes you are the best at doing that fix things pl ease

    Contact iTunes and ask them. This is just a user to user forum so no one here has any ability to answer your questions with anything but a guess.

  • Why cant i restore my iphone and why does it keep turning off and on by itself

    hello all
    i just would like to know why my phone keeps turning off and on by itself
    and why i cant i restore it on itunes
    many thanks
    al

    What worked for me, is going to the camera app, switch to video, turn on flash, and record.  Let the phone record for about 10 minutes.  (your phone will probably keep reseting itself) but that is okay, let it reset, and go back the the camera app and repeat.  what you are supposed to do is let the phone sit there and wait for the back to feel sort of hot. stop recording at about 8 minutes and plug your phone into itunes, it should be charging, and once you do so you can then set your phone into DFU mode.  This might not help you, or it will.  I just fixed my iphone today, that had the same problem as you.  so keep trying and it will come back to normal again!  Cheers!

  • Why am I always asked 'this Apple ID has not yet been used in the iTunes', when I want to download something

    Why I am being said 'This Apple ID has not been used in the iTunes Store' when I try to download free application

    Hi Abdul5,
    This prompt is usually displayed when your Apple ID needs to be configured for the iTunes Store. We'll need to run through the additional steps to setup your country, and payment information. See Step 10 and above on this resource (For iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch):
    iTunes: How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2731
    Tip: If you are trying to create an account using an existing Apple ID, like your iCloud email address, you will receive a prompt telling you that your email address is already an Apple ID. Simply tap Continue, and then tap Use Existing Account on the following screen.
    - Next, you'll be required to enter your billing information. To choose a different Credit Card type, tap one of the available options, and then tap Done. You will not be charged until you make a purchase.
    - Once you've filled out all of the fields for your billing information, tap Next.

  • Forgot User Name and Password for Parental Controls

    I apparently have forgotten the user name and password for the parental control feature in itunes. How do I recover the information or unlock the controls?

    I tried entering the same information as my computer user name and password and it does not work for locking Parental controls. What is weird is I can Log on to Itunes and my computer but it will not lock parental controls. What I am trying to do is keep anyone from changing the settings. Again I enter the same information as my computer but it DOES NOT WORK!!!!

  • Why won't the user name and password for my podcast save when I click "Remember this password?"

    I have to enter the podcast log in information every time I update my podcast even though I click the box to remember the password.

    You should have received a small booklet with the router that contains that information. however, when the Verizon tech installs the router, he/she usually logs into the router during the installation, and the router requires the password to be changed at first login. So there are two answers:
    1) If nobody has logged into the router, or you have used the reset button to reset the router, the login should be : admin and password
    2) If the tech did log in, they normally change the password to: password1
    If you can't get in then reset the router using the reset button and use option 1.
    Note: Actiontec routers include a "security" feature (a big joke!!!) that when you type the password two or three bullets appear for each key pressed. Just ignore that crap and type the password the way it should be.

  • All I want to do is upgrade two phones ... WHY IS THIS SO HARD?  And, WHY CAN'T VERIZON DO THIS???!!!

    In the past month, I've spoken to dozens of Verizon reps on the phone, been disconnected a few times, been at 4 different stores, been told several different things by EVERYONE, been told "oh sure, we can do that" only to be told by someone else "no we can't" ... how can you run a business like this??!!!
    I AM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW I COULD SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    First, it was because our account was listed as a monthly paid cash account,
    then, it was because we were trying to get phones at a franchise store,
    then, it was because our account was set up as a business account (according to the Verizon rep I met at Wal-Mart, even though the Vz reps on the phone tell me it's listed as a personal account AND I sign onto our account as a personal account)
    then, we were told to order our upgrades on over the phone (but then we were told we would have to pay for the phones and wait for a debit card rebate to be mailed to us, which my husband does not want to do)
    then, we were told to order the upgrade phones online, but every time I try I get a processing error,
    then, the computer tells us to call a specific phone number if we believe the error was not right,
    then, the phone recording message repeats itself through multiple options TWICE and then hangs up on me,
    then, I call another Verizon number and get a "helpful" rep who tells me we can order them on the phone ... only to come back to me after being on hold and telling me they have gone home for the day,
    then, I try to get help online at Verizon.com and NO ONE IS AVAILABLE TO HELP ME.
    I've been to Wal-Mart 3 or 4 times, been to the local franchise store, been to a store in the Chicago area, and have spoken with Verizon reps on the phone until I'm blue, and, still ... STILL ... I don't have new phones.
    (removed) ALL I WANT IS TO UPGRADE OUR 2 PHONES ... WHY IS THIS SO HARD???!!!
    We have been a Verizon customer for over 16 years, apparently that means NOTHING.

    That is because the people who edit the posts are NOT CS agents but instead are people who are employed by the vendor Verizon has contracted to host the forum. I don't even believe they are Verizon employees, but employees of the Jive forum platform.
    For example, if a Verizon store had an electrician repairing the lighting in one of their stores, you wouldn't necessarily walk in and expect them to get off their ladder to assist you with information about a phone since they had nothing better to do than to work on the lights.  First of all, they aren't salesmen or CS agents. Second, they may not even have the capability to give you the assistance you are requesting.

  • Why are my browser pages white. and why can't I change back to the theme I had before ?

    I can't get my yahoo page or any other to change back to the theme I had for a background and it seems that all my web sites have a white theme and it will not change back. any page or web site that I go to is white, strange. Anyone know what is going on.

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is
    and what it does. Also, check the programs that are on your computer
    '''Windows:''' Start > Control Panel > Uninstall Programs.
    '''Mac:''' Open the "Applications" folder.
    '''Linux:''' Check your user manual.
    Go thru the list. If you find something that you don't
    know what it is, use a web search.

  • For wls 8.1, what is PointBase, why is it installed by default and why do I need it?

    Can I turf it? That's really the heart of the question. Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply Joseph. I am more concerened that it's installed on
    the classpath in the weblogic bin cmd scripts. So when I try to append
    MySQL to the classpath from within the newly created domain cmd scripts, the
    oracle drivers are first. That is my understanding, is that correct? If
    that is correct, that's where my question was coming from, and I turf it,
    and if yes, then it looks like I can. Cool. Thanks.
    Thanks.
