I Don't Have a ~/Library Folder!!!

Just upgraded to Lion 10.7.1, trying to find my Safari prefs file, which should be at ~/Library/Preferences, but I can't locate my ~/Library folder... it's not there! I thought the Mac would have problems without it, but everything, all my apps seem to be working fine.
I'm not blaming the Lion install for this... I don't know if the Library folder was there before...

Finder > Go To > Hold down ALT key and viola there is an entry for the Library
It's still there, but Apple decided to hide it from the user.

  • On my Mac, on my folder I don´t have the library folder as I should ???!!!!

    on my Mac, using the Finder, on my folder, I don´t have the library folder as I should.
    I think it is strange.
    When I go to the time machine, the Library folder it is there, but the folder has not the same colour as the other folders (it is light grey)  !!!!

    Starting in Lion Apple made the users Library folder invisible. If you want to see it in finder go to Go->Go to Folder and enter ~/Library, or hold down the option key while in the Go menu or else to make it permanently visible open a Terminal window and enter:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library

  • I've installed Firefox but don't have the Firefox folder in Application Support (but I need to access this to edit my profile since Firefox won't open)

    Online troubleshooting tells me I have to go into my profile to edit something in order to get Firefox to launch. For now, it's telling me that only one copy of Firefox can be open at once. However, I don't have the Firefox folder in my Application Support, even though I've installed Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I reformated my computer and wanted to download Firefox ==
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16

    I get the same thing with Firefox, IE8, Opera, and Safari. It isn't a Firefox only problem.
    Are you new to that webhosting service? <br /> Have you ever uploaded web pages to that same web hosting service previously, pages that worked after an upload? <br /> Are those pages listed as ''' "public" ''' pages in your web hosts control panel?
    My suggestion is to "download" your homepage and associated files & images from your PC, up to the server, using your web hosts control panel and see how that works.
    Beyond that, I suspect that you might have missed an important setting in Dreanweaver for uploading to the web host's server. You might try asking about this issue at a Dreamweaver support forum.

  • HT5333 why i don't have a dvd folder in the settings?

    why i don't have a dvd folder in the settings?

    Got it.
    The options have changed in the latest version – reduced from six to one.
    But easy enough to make the presets. Just duplicate; change the bit rates  and save as custom.
    Here are the 3 settings for Best Quality from C3.5, 120, 150, and 90 minutes respectively.
    The difference between the above settings and Fastest Encode is 2 Pass vs 1 Pass.
    Fame controls are off for SD sources and on for HD sources (to activate the Resize Filter).
    The Dolby Digital preset for the audio stream is the same for all 3 settings.
    hth.

  • How come I don't have a trash folder? If I accidentally delete something it's GONE!!! Everyone deletes something they don't mean to but it's not recoverable

    I don't have a trash folder? If I delete a message it is GONE!!!!! I want a trash folder please!! Thank you

    See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_how-to-find-your-profile to locate your profile.
    Using your File Explorer, go to your profile and the look at the level below that for Mail, and below that for Local Folders. There should be a file named 'Trash' and another named 'Trash.msf'
    If either the 'Trash' file or the 'Trash.msf' file is there, delete them (!). Then restart TB. It should recreate the Trash.

  • TS3899 I have an iphone 5c. I swiped an email from right to left and it disappeared ? It's not in archived or deleted folders?? Where will it be? I don't have a trash folder?

    I have iphone 5c. I swiped email from right to left and it's disappeared? It's not in deleted or archive folders? Where will it be? I don't have a trash folder either?

    Hello Kizzyk,
    I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.

  • How do I add output module to Bridge if I don't have an extension folder?

    I tried adding the output module to Bridge (why didn't it come with this???) but it says to put a folder in the Bridge Extensions folder.  I don't seem to have one.  What to do now???

    There are two different Libraries on the Mac
    The wrong one is located in users>Library (Hidden hold option)>Application Support>Adobe> No Bridge Extensions folder
    The Correct one is Located here: Macintosh HD > Library (Not Hidden) > Adobe > Bridge CC Extensions > Workspaces
    Two very big differences in folder location and the instructions found here: Install Adobe Output Module Only show the Library folder not which one it is. Problem solved.

  • How to restore when you don't have a library

    I use my work computer as my main/only computer. I do not have a library for my songs because I cannot leave the music on my computer because I may get in trouble at work. My iPod is the only place I have the music stored (I have a 30GB ipod w/video that's about 1/2 full). Recently, when I plug the ipod in I get an error message comes up that says, "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use the updater to restore iPod to factory settings"
    I have done the 5 R's except for restore because I house all my music just in my ipod because of the whole work computer situation and I do not want to lose all my music.
    When I go through "My Computer" to see my music (in "music") and to try to pull it off temporarily so i can restore the ipod, when I looked at the file it said I had O kb of music in there.
    My iPod works fine on its own and all my music is there, it's just that music won't play on the computer and iTunes is not recognizing the iPod or the songs. So there's no way i know to fix it through iTunes.
    Is there a way to temporarily take the music off the ipod and put it somehere without going through iTunes, restore it, and then put the music back when it's done?

    Thanks Mikey,
    I was looking for a program like yamipod to help me out, but when i tried yamipod it didn't let me open my ipod up and said that it had "bugs." I'll keep looking for a similar program

  • I don't have a locked folder to unlock it

    Hello,
    My ipod classic 3 generation this morning was on lock, which it has never been since I got it. So I went online and found a way to unlock it. But unfortunately the only way to unlock it is to have a "locked" folder on my ipod which I do not have. How am I suppose to unlock it when the only way to is not there? Please help!!

    I have restored my ipod and tried to restart it, but that doesn't seem to work either.
    I saw online that you are to make your hidden files known and than you delete the locked folder and than my ipod should unlock, is it a lost cause to get it or do I need to get another ipod?

  • I don't have a Mobilesync folder

    Hi! I recently got an iPad mini. I'd like to delete the Mobilesync folder on my Macbook because the iPad takes so much space.
    I know Mobilesync is supposed to be under the "Application Support" folder but Mobilesync wasn't there when I checked out the Application Support of my laptop.
    Help, please! Thanks in advance!

    No you don't want to delete the MobileSync folder because that is where your backup is stored.
    You probably have way more junk on your Mac than that MobileSync folder accounts for in storage capacity anyway. Get an external drive and copy some of your infrequently used files onto the external drive and leave the MobileSync folder in place.
    If you insist, this is where the folder should be.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

  • Don't have Window Library menu option. [was: Getting Adobe Shape into Photoshop cc photography bundle

    The Shape tutorial says to open a new document in PS, go to Window tab and select Library.  My Window tab doesn't display Library as an option.  Help!

    I have an active subscription to the CC photography bundle, and my photoshop toolbar says Photoshop CC (no 2014) so I assume I have the straight-up CC version.  Any thoughts on why the Library option does not appear under my Window tab?  I understand from the Shape tutorial that this is where I access My Libraries images.  Thanks for your help!

  • TA38571 I can STREAM, but I cannot SYNC (I don't have another library linked to my Apple TV)

    I can only STREAM, but I cannot SYNC
    Note: I do NOT have another itunes library linked to my Apple TV
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Your library has become a secondary (streaming only) library only (it is possible to turn syncing off by ctrl-clicking on the Apple TV listing in the device list and choosing 'Turn Off Syncing" from the contextual menu) and you need to reconnect your library as a primary library.
    Navigate to Settings > Computers > Your Library on the Apple TV, you may be told you will lose all synced content, but you can sync it back afterwards, you won't lose any purchased content that has yet to be transferred. Then select Settings > Computers > Connect To iTunes, note the passcode that appears on screen, click on the device in iTunes and enter the passcode when prompted.

  • How to importing AVCHD if I don't have all the folder files?

    Hi,
    I have to cut a few videos. I have been given an external drive with .MTS files. However, all the files regarding the structure of the folder... are not there!!!!!
    Now, when I import them to Adobe, they are glitchy and out of sync.
    - Do I have to convert them?
    - If so, to what codec/format?
    - With what program?
    Thanks a lot for your help.
    Kind Regards.
    Robert

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, when I import the plain MTS, the audio is out of synch. However, it plays nicely on the Windows Player.
    I have also copied to an internal drive, without success.
    I have also used the recommended codecs in the guide you mention: DNxHD... nothing seems to work.
    I am using: Premiere Pro CC 2014, on an intel Core i7 with 8Gb RAM lenovo.
    Any other ides?
    Thanks.

  • I don't have the Library panel in Illustrator CC

    Anyone encountered this issue?

    Additional info...my version says 17, and I know now it should be 18. But Creative Cloud says I have the latest so I can't seem to update it further to version 18. I have these choices in Creative Cloud, but only the middle one (Illustrator CC) is clickable.
