How to reset Launchpad ordering in OS X Yosemite?
Previously I can remove the files end with db
in ~/Library/Application Support/Dock/
to reset the ordering of apps, but now doing the same thing doesn’t help. Do anyone know where the new path that organizes the Launchpad is located?
Solution 1:
Enter this line in the console:
defaults -currentHost write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
Removing the db doesn't seem to do the trick any more. So this two steps are necessary to reset the Launchpad in Yosemite:
- rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db ; killall Dock
- defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
Solution 2:
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/*.db
rm "/$TMPDIR../0/com.apple.dock.launchpad/db/db*"
defaults write com.apple.dock ResetLaunchPad -bool true; killall Dock
Solution 3:
Here Launchpad resets, when deleting the three database files in...
/private/var/folders/02/yff1cxtx61v3y1pydkt96j2h0000gn/0/com.apple.dock.launchpad/db/db
/private/var/folders/02/yff1cxtx61v3y1pydkt96j2h0000gn/0/com.apple.dock.launchpad/db/db-shm
/private/var/folders/02/yff1cxtx61v3y1pydkt96j2h0000gn/0/com.apple.dock.launchpad/db/db-wal
...and restarting the Dock: killall Dock
I get there by opening
open $TMPDIR../0/com.apple.dock.launchpad/db/
