Can't find Application Support from System in time machine

I played minecraft for quite a long while. The thing is, i clean installed mountain lion, and so i backed up. But in time machine folder i couldn't find Machintosh/Libarry/Applications Support and minecraft saved folder is inside =3= can anyone help me. Thanks for helping

Perhaps the file you are looking for is in your own Library/Application Support? Macintosh/Library/Application Support is the folder for all users. It's quite possible that it was saved there, but I would think a program would store individual user save files in the users's own Library.
To get there, hold down the Option (alt) key and select Library from the Go menu in Finder.
Once you have the Application Support Folder open, Enter Time Machine and restore the file from the Minecraft support folder.

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;

I can't find application support!

Help! I am trying to do some work for a game, and I need application support. It's not under Library. I have OS X Lion, so does that make a diffrence. Is it possible to accidently delete it? Can i reinstall it or get it again?

There are two Applications Support folders. One in the /Library/ folder and one in the /Home/Library/ folder which in Lion is invisible. To see it open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.

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.

Specific for User
Open the Finder

Hold down the 'Option' key on the keyboard
'Library' should appear in the menu between 'Home' and 'Computer'
There you will find the 'Application Support' folder.
For System
Click 'Go'
Click 'Computer'
Open 'Macintosh HD'
Open 'Library'
The Application Support folder should be there.

Address book disappear, Application Support folder can not be opened

My address book disappear from my MacPro, I know it is in the User Library-Application Support folder, but when I try to open that folder, it has a red tag on the folder and it said I have no Authority to open that folder, I am the only one using this machine, never have this problem. And it will not allow me to restore the address book from Time Machine back to this folder. What's wrong? I think I need to figure out why it wont let me open the Application Support folder, could anyone help? thanks.
One Symptom: when I run the address book App, and try to import address file, the Menu bar- File-the Import dialog was greyed-out and can not be used.

Could you please check the Sharing &permissions of these two folders (command +I). Check to see if you have "Read&Write access to these folders. It should be your user name with read&write privileges.
     You will have to open the lock on the bottom right and it will request the admin password. Should your name not be there, select it by clicking on the plus sign on the bottom right and selecting your user name. Select Read&Write privilege and under the gear wheel beside the plus and minus signs,Make sure you apply to enclosed items.
      It sounds like you somehow got them buggered. Rebuilding the permission table should of cleared up the problem. This could be a case of booting with your install DVD and rebuilding permissions from there.
                                                        Food for thought.
Next time you even think of modifying anything in you user library, Duplicate the whole folder and then you have a reference to go by. Just make sure that it is deleted after you are finished. This should be a standard step when troubleshooting. Changing something.....make a copy.

Cannot find most of my applications in the Application Support folder

Whenever I open my Application Support folder, folders for apps I use regularly, like Minecraft, aren't there. How do I find them?

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

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.

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.

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.

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
* http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90947.html Access hidden user library files
