Magento 2 - Admin Icons won't load + backend not functional

Question

My backend won't load properly. How can I get it to do this?

Magento 2.0.7 on local MAMP install. Have cleared pub/static and the di/* Using Grunt to compile my LESS commands by 'Grunt watch'

Previously did, "grunt clean", "grunt exec", "grunt less" and then "grunt watch". Compiled all of the LESS files

Answer 1

Delete pub/static/*

Deploy static content by below command.

php bin/mangeot setup:static-content:deploy

Then You have to compile with Grunt!

Now you will see without any issue in admin.

Answer 2

Replace

Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Symlink 

to

Magento\Framework\App\View\Asset\MaterializationStrategy\Copy

This worked for me.
