For some reason my launchpad will rearrange some of the apps/folders. It isn't all the time and it doesn't move a lot of apps, just a few apps and only a few spaces from their normal position. No one else uses the computer so I know it isn't someone else. Is there a way to stop launchpad from rearranging my apps?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)
I am having this same issue. I love Launchpad, but this is annoying. Have you had any luck fixing this?
Unfortunately, I haven't had any luck with it. I've tried wiping out the Launchpad database but it still does it.
I am definitely having this problem as well. I was beginning to think it was just me, as not many people are talking about it. Not a very serious problem, I know, but it can impede my workflow when I have to search for an app that has decided to move places for no apparent reason.
It seems to happen every time I restart, and possibly on some other random occasions. It really likes rearranging MS Office apps for some reason. I usually put Word next to Pages and they like to switch, causing me to open the wrong app and curse at my screen while I do a force quit. It even moved the MS Office folder I created full of those apps.
It would be nice to have a fix for this, but in the mean time I'll just keep grumbling at my screen unpleasantly.
same prob... why no fixes?!?!?!?

Click the link in the description to go to the article and copy the code into terminal. All I did to reload launchpad was logout and then back in and it loads them in automatically, no need to drag and drop them onto launchpad's dock icon.
Worked great for me!
