Starting Your New App from Launchpad

Mac Tips
When you purchase an app from the App Store, the download process places the new app in your Applications folder, and it is also accessible from Launchpad. Third-party apps (those not from Apple) appear in Launchpad on a secondary screen, not on the first screen (reserved for Apple applications) that appears when you enter Launchpad. To access the additional screens in Launchpad, click the Launchpad icon in the Dock, and then do one of the following:
  • On a Magic Mouse, swipe left with one finger on the mouse surface.
  • On a Multi-Touch trackpad, swipe left with two fingers on the surface.
  • Click one of the small dots that appears near the bottom of the Launchpad screen, but above the Dock. The white dot indicates which Launchpad screen is currently visible.
  • Tap the right-arrow key to go to the next Launchpad screen, or tap the left-arrow key to return to the previous screen.
