Does anyone else have double icons in their LaunchPad? If you look in the picture, I have two iCals, two iTunes, two chess, etc. Only one of them works. The other always closes with an error message. Is there a way to fix it manually, or do I have to wait for an update from Apple?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
I have 2 Civilization V icons ever since I updated it 2 days ago. Again, it only shows up as 1 icon in the finder. I tried the terminal option. All it did was organize my icons, but both Civ V icons are still there. 😟
Same thing with me. Updated Civ 5 and I have two icons on launchpad.
I tried the terminal option that Mr Seeker put and it worked great:
I found this really works for me
================
1. Run Terminal
2. Type sudo rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db to remove the problematic Launchpad database
3. Enter user password to permit change
4. Type sudo killall Dock
to recreate a new database
5. Exit Terminal
=================
Mr. Seeker - you sir are a genious. Not going to lie, that took a bit of faith. A small part of me thought my computer my just die after typing in my password, but it worked like a charm. For those who don't have an aliasing problem, try Mr. Seeker's steps. It's legit. My doubled icons are gone!
Your solution worked.
➕ This is what actually solved my issue.
