So this is my first Mac and I'm starting to get frustrated with the Launchpad. At one point I could rearrange everything in it just fine and it would remember their location. But now every time I rearrange anything once I reboot they return to their original location. Is there anyway to fix this?
 
  1. Open Terminal
  2. Type: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Dock/
  3. Type: rm *.db
  4. Type: killall Dock
  5. Quit Terminal

This should fix and arrangement issues by re-creating the file where the Launchpad icon order is stored.
