I got all my stuff in Launchpad just the way I want it but after a Restart, everything got completely re-arranged! Ker-blooey!

I don't usually turn off my MB, only when I need to bring to school then it's off. Well, when turn it back on, the items on desktop are not in the same place, I have to rearrange them. Preferences are set.

I use Spaces often and really want to be able to customize/rearrange my desktop items unique to each Space. I keep all my work/school items in one space and media applications in another - I'd like to do the same with my desktop icons.
I want to re-arrange files on my desktop. When I use 'drag & drop' the file I moved just snaps back to its original location. How do I get 'drag & drop' to work properly?

Running 10.6.4 on a 27" iMac 3.06 GHz C2D. I was irritated by sometimes not being able to empty items from my trash(message that file was in use when it wasn't). I found on lancelhoff.com a command for terminal(cd ~/.Trash && sudo rm -rf ) followed by directory/filename which allowed these pesky files to be deleted which worked great. I was showing my manager the trick I'd found and while doing so, it stopped deleting the files.
Now when I put items in the trash I get a message 'Are you sure you want to delete "xxxx.yyy"? This item will be deleted immediately. You can't undo this action" instead of putting it in the trash. The files I was trying to delete when I was doing my doomed demo will not delete even after a restart. I did a fix permissions on my drive with Disk Utility which was no help in this regard.

I have a variety of apps in Launchpad and I have them arranged just how I like them but then I shut down my MacBook Pro at the end of the day and the next day my apps are in completely different locations. It is really quite annoying to have to rearrange them manually after I boot up my Mac.

I upgraded to CS6 yesterday and could install the programmes properly. Once I launchpad to start using the new Phptoshop though, I couldn't find it anywhere. I moved the app outside the CS6 subfolder and placed it into the actual apps folder. It didn't appear anyway and this way I wasn't able to launch the app neither.

I downloaded a couple of apps that I decided I didn't need, so I moved them to the trash. When these apps were downloaded and installed, their icons were added to Launchpad, but when I deleted the apps, the icons remained in Launchpad. These were not downloaded from the Mac App Store. Is there an easy way to get rid of the icons? It would seem that when an app is deleted, the respective icon should be removed at the same time.

I have two rows of installed apps packed in folders at the moment (and still so much space left on the first page), but Launchpad is putting every App I purchase over the MAS on a new (second) page. Is that a known issue? How can I fix this?

Every time I restart my machine the first page of the icons on Launchpad moves around. There is no obvious pattern to this, just a general shuffling of the icons. Anyone identified a cause/solution for this?Â

It is called "how to remove app from launchpad" but actually talks about deleting the app by means of launchpad. So how these actions are actually done? I mean, there's a lot of apps I do not need in the launchpad - like small utilities I rarely use. Yes, i know I can arrange them into folders and move these to some pages of the launchpad, but still. If they write "remove from launch pad" there must be a way to do exactly that.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently installed an application to my macbook pro. However when I installed it the uninstaller also shows in the launchpad. It is so unattractive and I was wondering how to get rid of it? Everytime I open lanchpad I see it. Dragging to the trash does not work, it only works if I want to uninstall it.

For some reason a whole bunch of new icons showed up in my Launchpad all of a sudden. I haven't installed anything new that I know of, but I'm wondering if this happened after an Apple update. Here is a screencap: [URL]. What these little script icons are for? They do not exist on my other Macs.

I want to change the effect of the background of launchpad. I know it is somehow possible... But I don't know how again. I found some websites and they told me to press Command + B, but that does not work for me!Â
And if you know how: Is it also possible to change the folder background of Launchpad?

If I open the Launchpad and start to move between its pages, Launchpad loses its smoothness after 4-5 scrolling between its pages. I thought it was because the new update, but just do not notice it before. The more icons, the more noticeable slowdown. But I have a powerful IMac and no running applications. Only 28 icons on the first page and 22 on the second. If I add 5 more icons on the first page, then the slowdown will be even worse. I have reinstall Lion to 10.7.2 but problem will not go away. I tried to reset Lauchpad but it did not work.
