MacOS – How to rename a folder in Lion’s Launchpad

folderslaunchpadmacosrename

I created a folder by dropping one icon on top of another.

Now I want to rename that folder, since the default name, "Utility" isn't the one I want.

According to all advice I find on the internet, I should open the folder and then double-click the title in order to rename it.

But, when I double-click the title, nothing is happening. Is there a lock somewhere I have to turn off?

This is what I tried:

  • Double-Clicking
  • Right-Clicking
  • Ctrl-Clicking
  • Option-Clicking
  • Command-Clicking

What else?

Once the folder created (with the name Utility) you click (once) on the folder to open it, once opened the name of the folder appears in bold + the different apps inside that folder.

To change the name, click on the name (shown inside the folder) to change it.
