• How can I remove Wifi.app from Launchpad?

  According to the online instructions for troubleshooting wifi (which didn't work), I dragged Wifi.app system > library > Services essential to the Launchpad.

  Now, I have a generic icon for Wifi.app ap in Launchpad that I can't remove.

  When I click on it and hold the mouse, there is no "X" in the upper corner.

  How can I remove this icon Wifi.app from Launchpad?

  First of all, go to/System/Library/CoreServices , and ensure that the app is still there. If so, just go to the Applications folder and delete "Wifi.app", so it will be removed from the Launchpad.

• How to rearrange apps on the front of my printer?

  I was helping a friend with an application problem, and after that we had understood, he wanted to know if you can change the order applications without having to delete and readd all of them.  We discovered that some printers allow you to change the order in the ePrint Center account.  If the printer does not have the function, you will see a message under my Apps that you can drag and drop apps into the order you want.  The image below will direct you to the area and show you what look like the exact message.

  

  I hope this helps.

• removal of app Launchpad?

  Is it possible to get rid of apps in launchpad? There are two that I don't know how they got there that I don't want. I tried to move it to the trash, but it does not work.  El Capitan, 10.11.4 9.1 Safari OSX

• Having all the icons app pinned to the docking station

  It affect the performance or memory available to other programs if you pin all the application icons in your dock (just for the look)?

  I'm not sure about the memory, but keeping all applications in the dock reduces the execution stack, so it is wise to keep apps in launchpad (you can keep finder and trash in the dock) and also to reduce the size of the icons.

  Thank you!

• How do you get pre installed apps

  I recently bought a Macbook Air through QVC and when I ordered it, it says that the laptop would come with things such as: resume maker, photoshop, etc. I can't seem to find these additional applications/software anywhere on my laptop and I paid close to $500 extra for them

  Normally, you should be able to find all the apps in Launchpad (the rocket icon in the Dock) and also in the Applications folder (go to the Finder menu named 'Go' and in this menu, click on Applications). Another way to easily find things is Spotlight search (magnifying glass icon to the right of the menu bar or combination of control keys space bar).

• Screw spaces assignments app 'desktop '.

  So, I love the 'spaces' in OSX, being in particular functionality to assign different applications to different workstations. I configured it in El Capitan on update of last week, with shortcut key to switch to each of the 5 '' bureaus '' Fortunately, I've created. I then assigned different applications for the different jobs by opening the app, open spaces, by dragging the application to the correct desktop and right click on the application in the dock and its assignment to this computer"desktop" on the tab "options".

  However...

  Whenever I re - start, El Capitan decides to change which Office I assigned an app for. I have Mail assigned to the office 2. But he was variously assigned to one of the 2, 3, 4 or 5 depending on what she decided when I rebooted the computer, which means that I must seek in every office (via a shortcut at least) in order to find the right one. This seems to be a bug that is important for me is to play with my workflow

  Does anyone know how to fix this? Should I simply delete the preferences 'spaces' in my library and see if it will fix itself?

  Seems weird that it would reset every restart if...

  By default, Mission Control will revamp desktop computers based on usage, just like the application switcher function rearranges Apps. You can turn off the in the system preferences of Mission control.

  After update through creative cloud CS6 versions to versions CC yesterday and today, the Photoshop icon does not appear in Apple's Launchpad, even after a reboot. It is installed but I can't open by going to the applications folder. Suggestions?

  The iMac's hard drive has failed and needs to be replaced. They can't be repaired.

  Genius Bar Reservations: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

  You can replace it yourself, but it is a tedious procedure. Hard drives themselves are inexpensive.

  Back up your Mac if you have not already done so. Read https://www.apple.com/support/backup/to learn how to do this. To learn how to use Time Machine read to use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

• How can I add an application to the dashboard

  Don't know if this post belongs in this thread, but I didn't know where else to say... I recently had to install Photoshop CS6 to use a plugin required, which was not available in CC2015. When I did, PS2015 disappeared launching-CS6 area was in its place. I have CS2015 drugs to the dock, where I can access, but is not quite as convenient... It is not a huge thing, but I when I am busy often opened CS6 by mistake. I need two versions... is possible that I can add Photoshop CC 2015 in Launchpad? Thank you.

• Rearrangement of the app becomes broken after long pressing some applications

  I have a 6 s with the newest iOS (9.3.2) iPhone. When I long press certain applications (those that do appear a menu "contextual"), if I long press another app after that, I can't get the apps to "wiggle" mode to reorganize them. The phone vibrates briefly and then nothing, is more how long I press the application icon. There don't seem to be a way to solve this problem once the phone is in this State outside its restart. Put the phone in mode 'sleep', close all background applications, etc. does not solve the problem. Is there a way to fix this without having to reset the phone or is anyway to disable those menus "pop up"?

  Your iPhone 6 contains a tactile 3D feature - newly introduced with the 6s iPhone and iPhone 6s +.  It is described here:

  http://help.Apple.com/iPhone/9/#/iphcc8f419db

  This explains why you see a menu "contextual".

  To rearrange icons, tap and hold an icon with less pressure that you use to display the "pop-up".
