[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1289644, member: 24160"] Found the basic problem. The MBA I got about 3 weeks ago, indicated it was 20 weeks old. Which means these things had been sitting on a shelf somewhere for awhile prior to their announcement. After doing everything I could figure out to do, blew it away and did a fresh install. I have now found out the version of Lion that was on this MBA was not the same version as the download version in the App Store. There are several discrepancies. The biggest was the jumbled mess of Launchpad. The second, which I kept wondering why people kept talking about a 4 finger swipe, was that the version of Lion preinstalled on my MBA used a 3 finger swipe for everything this newly installed Lion uses 4 fingers to do. I tried using Migration Assistant without importing Settings and it still brought back the same things, so have had to blow that account away and start fresh with everything. [/QUOTE]
