completely reset Launchpad customization. that’s pretty frustrating…
When I installed DP4, I can only login FaceTime 1.1 on MBA, it failed when I was using MBP. After upgraded, I can login FaceTime server on both machine.
I agree. It’s making me want to start locking my computer just so I can see it. I love the linen theme sewn throughout iOS and now Mac OS X as sort of representing a layer that lies beneath the UI.
Seems that after update, you get a error when try to config mobileMe account, so I will want to see more reviews, because I’m using a mobile me account and at this moment I don’t know how I can replace this service with iCloud, having a iPhone 3G…
Not only did the Preview update reset the Launchpad, it also refused my user password on all three Macs. After trying 6 times it finally worked. Don’t yet know if it will do it again after Macs go to sleep or Screen Display. Something very wrong here
I like it that launchpad was reset.before, half the time I was not seeing icons – just the text would show up.
If you want to refresh the icon of a particular app in Launchpad, I’ve found the following method works:
1. Duplicate the app to give “Angry Birds 2.app” or whatever.
2. Check that this copy has shown up in Launchpad; with the new icon.
3. Trash the original, and rename the duplicate to the original name.
Bit of a fiddle, and hopefully something they’ll fix before the final release, but it should work for now.
I can’t download……I get an error message.
I am struck at Version 10.7 (Build 11A459e)
i found these bugs
2 finger swipe doesn’t work properly
can’t delete apps on launchpad anymore
rarely from sleep you can log in without needing a password
mobile me doesn’t work
iCloud has gone missing
i deleted my parallels but on launchpad all windows apps are placed on there but unable to delete
did a restart and turning off takes 10 seconds longer than lion dp2
from startup it takes 30 seconds longer
