Re: Launchpad, what is it?

OK Mike, Launchpad is an app which makes all the apps on your mac appear in a icon grid view. Basically, it makes the apps on your system appear as if you were looking at an iOS home screen. And yes, it is accessible. You either arrow to, or use first letter navigation to find the item you'r

RE: Launchpad, what is it?

Hello Michael, This is an excellent question. If you have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, the grid of icons you encounter when the device is powered on, is called the Launch Pad. The Launch Pad in Mac OS, serves the same purpose. It's just another way to interact with your Mac. Some people,

Yeah and apparently they also have VO-less to drop the item before the cursor and VO-greater to drop it after. Not sure about that or why one would want to, but there you go. And I've found that dragging and dropping does work better, I tried it in Finder just for the fun of it last night and it

Ok, pardon my total and utter ignorance here, but are we *really* supposed to be able to move applications around? After all, they are all placed in the same folder and the launch pad should reflect that folder, right? Or is there something obvious i have missed as usual? /Krister 21 jul 2011 kl

Re: Launchpad

Ok, so if you have a bunch of applications on your mac, I would think you'd want to organize those in the launch pad like you can with the IOS devices. It has been stated that drag and drop doesn't work in there, nor does the familiar double tap and hold to move an app. So how do you move apps?
