Mavericks Launchpad, missing icons

I used a Launchpad editor program on 10.8.5 and earlier, and it worked great. Unfortunately now I have no icons on any of my Launchpad items. I tried the reset command from the editor to no avail. Anyone find a Launchpad editor that works with Mavericks?

OS X Mavericks (10.9), * Links may give me compensation

I don't have an editor program, but when this happened to me earlier today and nothing seemed to help, I shut down my MBP and then restarted. It repaired itself.


This had not happened to me before today and I am a long time Mac user. I didn't know if it was Mavericks or something I had done. In any case, shutting down and then restarting worked for me.

I can "open" Terminal, as in I can see Terminal in the upper left corner and push the dropdown menues. But I can't use the program. There is no windows open, and nothing happens, when i push "new window" or "new command". The program doesnt respond, I've tried everything!


willbiggz >> That solved the problem with the icons - thank you! But many of my apps still doesn't work. I can't launch Maps, Messages, Facetime, Photobooth and several others, and many of my apps doesn't respond when they are open. Contacts can open like Terminal, but no windows appear, and I can't do anything in the app.
