Where is the root folder for pictures on OSX? I need to transfer to an external harddrive.

I have an older Pro and want to transfer the pictures to an external hard drive. I cannot find the root folder. I know they say it is hidden, but can't find it! Help!
PS My DVD drive is broke, or I would just burn a DVD.

Pictures is the folder within each User's Home directory.
/Users/YourUsername/Pictures
It is not hidden in Mac OS 10.6. (as shown in your profile)
In Finder click on the User's home folder with the house icon, to see it.
There is the possibility that you can't find it because it no longer exists. It could have been accidentally deleted.
EDIT: If you are referring to the photos in iPhoto, these are contained in the iPhoto Library folder, which is located in the Picutres folder.
Copying the entire iPhoto Library folder, to an external will make a backup of your photos.

How can I change the root folder for .dtc?

After I installed the DS, I find the root folder for .dtc is my local directory such as:
C:\Documents and Configuration\WChen\.dtc
How can I change it to:
D:\Projects\.dtc

Gangadharayya. That points to the workspace used by Eclipse. The '.dtc' folder is used if you're working with DCs and, I'm pretty sure, has nothing to do with the Eclipse workspace.
Wei, just curious. Why do you want to change that path? Don't misunderstand my question. SAP has given me the "Why would you want to do THAT?" response plenty of times whenever I brought up a situation that was different than they way they thought developers would create apps or use their product(s).
So I'm not asking "why do you want to" because I think you're wrong in wanting to do that. I'm just curious.
I can't say for sure but I suspect that it might be not so easy to do that. I've installed Netweaver several times and I don't remember EVER being asked for a path for the '.dtc' folder structure.
From my personal experience, the whole NDS, J2EE engine, install process, etc. is so touchy that once I've got it installed I don't want to mess with it. So I was just curious if there was some technical reason or just personal preference for changing the folder.

Where is the extension folder for Adobe Bridge? (Mac)

I am trying to install the output module on Adobe Bridge. I am totally new to Creative Suite and photoshop. I can't find any information on bridge extensions at all. Here's the page I found on installing the output module- http://helpx.adobe.com/bridge/kb/install-output-module-bridge-cc.html
I downloaded it but after that is says to copy it into the extension folder. Where is the extension folder? Is it is Bridge? Is it in Finder? Any information on extensions is much appreciated! What exactly are extensions? What is the difference between the extension folder and extension manager?
Thank you!

At first sight I can' see anything wrong about the correct locations you used.
There was no need to delete all workspaces but that also should do no harm I would think.
You once pointed at the bridge6.plist file but it is not clear to me what you did with it. Personally I would quit Bridge and delete this plist file manually and then restart with again holding down option and use reset preferences.
And you did also use the reset to standard workspaces instead of the reset workspace to only reset the selected workspace. I don't know for sure this will make a difference but it is worth a try.
And while you are in the user library to delete the plist file for Bridge also look in the folder caches in this library.
User / library/caches/adobe/Bridge CC and inhere find and delete both the plug in and cache folder, then restart Bridge.
Finally it might be also worth a try to download CS6, it should not be needed to do so but it was one of the earlier solutions that worked. In your ACC menu click on any app that shows blue and this brings you to the CC website. Choose download center and find PS. Click on the icon and this gives you the detailed download page. Inhere you can change CC to CS6.
Download PS6 it and install it (this also installs the CS6 version of Bridge which was not a separate download in CS6). Then try first start CS6 and start the AOM which is installed by default in this version.
Then when having used this once quit CS6 and try CC (or even combine with restarting your Mac).
Hope this helps, because I'm running out of options

Where is the 'Goodies' Folder for CS6?

Doing a fresh install of CS6 Extended on a new computer (Windows 7). In an earlier version of PS there was a folder called Goodies and it contained the HSB/HSL filter. When I upgraded from those previous versions the plugins and filters migrated automatically or I simply copied from the Plugins>Filters folder of the old version to the new. Looking at the extracted files for CS6, I'm not seeing the 'Goodies' folder. Further, when I look in c>Program Files>Adobe>CS6>Plugins, there's no Filters folder, just a Panels folder.
Assistance appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
You can find information regarding the optional Ps CS6 content here:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/plug-ins-photoshop-cs61.html
We no longer distribute or include a 'Goodies' folder on disk. For the HSB/HSL filter, you'll want to grab the 'OptionalMultiPlugin' plug-in, which bundles of a couple plug-ins. Also the shipping plug-ins have been moved from the directory you might expect to find them. Any additional 3rd party plug-in or optional plug-in can still be installed to these path without needing to add /Filters:
Windows 7 and Vista (32 bit): Program Files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Plug-ins folder
Windows 7 and Vista (64 bit): Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 bit)/Plug-ins folder
Hopefully this answers your questions.
regards,
steve

Where is the Ringtones folder for iTunes?

I've created some ringtones and now I need to place them in the correct folder so that iTunes will load them.
Can anyone point me to where the folder should be?
Thanks,
David
Message was edited by: macnbmwuser

I don't think the problem lies in the iTunes programme. Try turning off the iPhone then turn it back on and plug it in the computer. If it doesn't work try resetting it. Go to Settings>General>Reset. Choose the option to keep your data and reset it. Plug your iPhone in the computer.

Where is the Shared folder for the Themes?

While I know that the official position is that the calendar themes can not be changed, I see a reference to Shared/Backgrounds/Solid/aged-paper-cover.jpg in the vintage theme.
Where can I find this and other images to edit? I tried looking for it in the contents of iPhoto to no avail.
I know I'm doing this at my own risk. I know to make backups first. I just want to know where the theme template images reside.
Thanks.

I've not been able to find any editable files that are associated with a calendar in either the Application Support/iPhoto folder or the application itself. What version of iPhoto was the reference referring to? Can you provide the link to the reference?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Use 3rd party apps like Photo Manager Pro.

Where is the stamps folder on the mac for Acrobat Pro Xl?

About a month ago I downloaded dynamic stamps for received and paid and "installed" them on a team-mates mac running OS X.
It was straight forward. I did some forum searches and it gave me instructions to copy the .PDF file with stamps containing java scripts to a folder on the mac.
Now a month later I find I need to do it on my mac. I am looking for the stamps folder on where to "install" the .PDF file again and can't seem to find the stamps folder on the mac. I tried creating the stamps folder to see if it would take and acrobat did not recognize it.
I tried using the console to find the stamps folder for user and application with no luck.
Any help would be great. I know it works because I was able to install it properly on one mac in the past, I just did not copy down the instructions and can't reproduce it.
Thanks.

It's in your user (Home) > Library folder. In recent versions of Mac OS X, this is hidden by default.
In the Finder, hold down the Option key first while choosing Go > Library so you can see it.
Then find it in:
Library > Application Support > Adobe > Acrobat > 11.0 > Stamps

Finder: Changing from thumbnail view to column view takes me back to the root folder.

Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me with this as it's getting a bit tedious having to re-navigate back to the folder I was in. This problem is only occuring when I am working from an external NAS Drive.
I need to switch between thumbnail view and column view regularly, but whenever I change from thumnails to column - finder jumps back to the root folder, meaning I have to work my way back to where I was.
I can't figure out how to stop this happening! It doesn't happen when changing from column to thumbnails, only the other way round..
Thanks for any suggestions!
Sarah.

Hi Barney,
Thanks for your reply Unfortunately though I already use AFP on the NAS drive and still have the problem, so it seems this is an issue with both AFP and CIFS..

Where is the library folder in Lion?

where is the library folder in Lion?

I recommend all frustrated users to make LIBRARY permanently visible by following Tom Reed's instruction, namely, going into Terminal and typing the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library Otherwise, next time you need to access Library, if you are like me you will have forgotten the "Option-Go" trick
You´ll ask next: "but how do I access Terminal?" If you search for "Terminal" in the Finder, it shows up. Make sure the Search is of "This Mac" and not "All my Files". Once you see it, click on it and the terminal window opens up. The background inside the window is white and not black as sometimes pictured.

Publish the website to the root folder (without creating a new folder)

Hi there! Sure this problem has already been discussed here many times and I'm not the only one who's interested this question, but how can I publish my website using FTP without creating a new folder, just to the root folder of my web hosting? Is that even possible or should I each time drag all the files from the folder created by iWeb and put them to the root folder manually? I'm a little bit confused. Guys help me with this, please! Many thanks in advance!!

Yes, you're right, it has been discussed for the past several years and yes, you're not the only who's interested in that question.
A simple googe search confirms it : avoid iweb sitename
Try it, if you haven't done it already.
Here's my answer :
