Where to find application support folder?

Just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and I'm unable to locate my application support folder. I remember having to go to library then application support folder was in it but now its gone missing. Just need a step by step tutorial to locate it. Thanks,
                                                                                Todd

NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Once it's visible you'll be able to see the Applicaitons Support folder. 
Or in the Finder hold down the Option key and use the Go ➙ Library menu option;

  • Where is the "Application Support Folder"?

    OK, apparently, I did something stupid.
    I had both Master Collection CS4 and CS5 on my MacBook Pro. I decided to uninstall CS4. I did some research and did it the way I think I was supposed to. First, I deactivated it. Then I used the CS4 Uninstaller. So far so good.
    But, when I boot us CS5, I get the following message:
    "One or more files in the Adobe Applicatoin Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
    Here's where the stupid part comes in. I am on the road and, naturally, do not have the disks to reinstall my Master Collection.
    However, here's the less stupid part. I do have a complete clone of the drive BEFORE I did the uninstall.
    So, where can I find the Application Support Folder and can I just drag it over?
    Thanks.
    sjh
    PS. I'll be on the road for a month and really need this to work.

    Anyone wishing to uninstall a previous version of Photoshop should do so BEFORE installing a newer version.  Always.
    That being said, I advice against uninstalling previous versions.

    Sorry I don't have specific remedial advice that meets your not-altogether-reasonable requirements (I cannot do a new clean install because I do not have my new disc's [sic])  in your situation.

  • Where SHOULD the application support folder be?

    on My 2009 imac it is in the library folder. on my late 2008 MBP it is in the finder when I double click the hard drive, its just above "applications".

    The Applications folder should be at the top level of the hard drive.
    Not sure what you mean about the application folder being above "applications".

  • Where so I find application support on iOS 10.8.4

    I know where to find application support on about another mac but not my mac which is so updated. If anyone could give me input soon that would be helpful.

    You might need to explain in more detail what you are after - it's not quite clear.
    Do you mean the Application Support folder?
    There are two.  They can be opened by pasting each of these paths into the "Go to Folder..." dialog in the Finder > Go menu.
    /Library/Application Support
    ~/Library/Application Support
    (The tilde tells your mac to start in the Home folder of your account.)
    You can also highlight each of the paths (or triple-click them), then control click, then Services, then Reveal.

  • I can't find any themes in iPhoto '09. When I look in the application support folder there's nothing for iPhoto.

    I'm trying to make a photo book using iPhoto 09. I get an error message stating no themes are available. I've read online to look in my application support folder but there is not listing for iPhoto there at all. I don't know where to go from here. I've tried reinstalling the software.

    > Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation.

  • Cannot find most of my applications in the Application Support folder

    I've tried spotlight search, but the folders still don't come up.
    I have this problem with two specific programs: Minecraft and Audacity.

  • Missing application support folder or how to recover a folder

    Hi,
    I've searched the forum and see a lot of information on missing files/photos/operating systems/applications, but I've been unable to find information to help me recover my "Application Support" folder. It is usually in System>Library but now its not there and I have no idea where it went. I've searched in finder and nothing has come up. I've tried the same within Time Machine but I suppose its possible that the folder has been lost since before my backup.
    Does anyone have any advice?
    Thanks!
    C

    It is usually in System>Library but now its not there and I have no idea where it went.
    It should be in /Library/ and ~/Library/, but not /System/Library/.

After I updated to OSX Lion there are only a FEW applications listed in the Application support folder. iTunes and Mail and iDvD and all these things ARE in there.. but how bout all my games.. like minecraft? There used to be a minecraft application support folder. But no longer. It just doesnt seem to exist.. or handbrake or even googlearth. Where can I find these folders?? They really used to be there before I updated to OSX Lion.

    Note that the user Library folder is hidden by default on Lion. You can get to it by holding down the Option key in the Finder's Go menu, use the Go To Folder command and paste in the full path, or use Terminal to make your ~/Library folder permanently visible.

  • How to find Application Support from external hard drive backup.

    I have an external hard drive which I used with time machine to backup my old computer. I've got a new Mac now, and I want to restore the Skype chat logs to my current computer. To do this I need to find the correct Application Support folder which contains Skype, however I can't navigate to it using Finder's "Go to folder" feature as that only searches locally and not on the external hard drive. How can I get to it?!
    Thanks!

    Open the copy of your home folder on the external drive, choose Go to Folder, and provide exactly Library as the path; ~/Library is limited to your current home folder.

  • If I no longer have the old application Backup installed on my Mac (part of the .Mac subscription), do I still need the folder called Backup, that is in my Library in the Application Support folder?

    If I no longer have the old application Backup installed on my Mac (for performing scheduled backups of data on the computer), do I need the folder called Backup, that is in my Hard Drive, to Library, to the Application Support folder?  (There is no Backup folder in my Home Folder, to Library, to the Application Support folder.) 
    Backup was part of the .Mac subscription I used to have, and I have not used it since I gave up being a .Mac subscriber many years ago.  In fact I recall Apple saying at one point that they no longer supported the Backup Application.  I assume the Backup folder is just remnants from when I used to have that application, however I could be wrong, and don't want to trash the folder unwisely.
    As I looked through the various items in the Backup folder, nothing appears to be modified since 2007, which further confirms that this folder is from long ago when I used to have that application.  I did notice that the main Backup folder itself was the only thing that had a more current modification date on it.  That date coincides with the date that I installed Snow Leopard on my Mac earlier this year.  But I'm assuming that any operating system software installation will place a modification date on all the various folders of one's computer, with the date the new OS was installed.
    Any insight will be appreciated!  Thank you!

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.

  • Firefox profile is not showing up in the application support folder (under library) on my Mac.

    Lost my bookmarks when I upgraded to new OSX Lion.. Can't find them and don't find firefox under the application support folder.

    In Mac OS X v10.7, the $HOME/Library folder is a hidden folder.
    Open Finder and use one of these:
    * Go > Go To Folder (Shift-Command-G) and in the dialog type: ~/Library
    * Open the "Go" menu and hold down the Option key to make the Library appear

  • No Logic folder at Application support folder

    Hi,
    Related to the following article, I want to move my logic content to an external harddrive.
    http://music.tutsplus.com/articles/how-and-why-to-move-your-logic-pro-x-sound-li braries-to-an-external-drive--audio-19567
    1st question: There is no HD/library folder on my harddrive. The only library folder I got is HD/user/username/library
    Is this normal? Becaus in the youtube video in the article there is.
    2nd question: I don't find the logic folder in HD/user/username/library/application support
    And I need it to move my content? Does mavericks have a different location for logic?
    I'm runing Mavericks OSX version 10.9.2
    I installed all of logic additional content.
    Please help! I'm looking in to this for hours.

    At the root level of your hard drive folder, you should see a folder simply named "Library" - inside that you will find an "Application Support" folder:
    You just double-click the name of your boot folder (usually "Macintosh HD" unless you've named it something else) and you'll find the Library folder.
