Your user library is hidden by default in Mavericks.
You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu in the main menu bar:
Finder > Go
Then hold down to options-key ⌥, until "Library" appears in the drop-down menu. Select it and open the Library. Then look for the folder "Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins".
Alternately you could install the plug-in for all users in "/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Plug-Ins", in the "Library" folder directly on your sytem drive.

I can't find preferences for the notes app. and every once in awhile some of my notes just disappear at start up, I see the name and then it refreshes and they are gone, very annoying. Can anyone tell me why it does this and how to stop it? thanks

Hi again, I am on an iMac using OSX 10.7.5, I"ve taken screenshots to show you I think my settings are correct

Added iPod movie to iTunes - can't find it in the library

I converted a movie for my new iPod, and it seems that the only way to add movies to the iPod is to add them to the iTunes library.
Well, I did that, and the weirdest thing happened. I could add the movie to iTunes, but I couldn't add it to the library, the "plus"-sign didn't show there, but I could add it to one of the playlists. It also got transferred to the iPod, where I can watch it.
Since this was only a short test-clip, I wanted to remove it afterwards. Oops! it was in the library, and iTunes wouldn't even find it with the search-feature. So I re-synced the iPod with iTunes, to see if it was still there....and it was, but where? It was on my iPod, but I still couldn't find it on iTunes.
A search on spotlight revealed it: in the "Recently Added" playlist, but not in the library. Why is that?
After that I tried to delete it, but I couldn't delete it from the playlist. I had to use Spotlight again, and delete it from the finder.
Has anybody an explanation for all this? For now, I'm not adding anymore movies to the iPod, scared to lose some content with this unexpected behavior.

iTunes sorts all of your content into different Libraries depending on how it has been classified, e.g. Movies you download from the iTunes Store go in the Movies Library, Music and Music Videos go in the Music Library, and TV Shows go in the TV Shows Library. In Preference under the tab General there should be some options to show or hide certain Libraries. Make sure that the Movies box is checked and it should be fine.
If that doesn't work, or if it does, please come back and let us know.

How can I find out where the Library files currently used by iTunes are located?

I have had a bit of a nightmare sorting out my iTunes files so I have various versions of Library files all over the place. How can I tell where the Library file that iTunes is currently using is located? In Preferences I can see the Library "Name", but I don't think that is much help. Preferences also shows where my i-Tunes media folder is but not where the Library files are.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Ah, I was assuming you would search in Finder and display some details. All alternative approach is to Option start iTunes and click the Choose option. It should show a file selection box targeted at the folder of the currently active library.

IMovie 2014 frozen at startup... tried everything, can't find "preferences" file in Library

Hi there. I have never had any problems with iMac until a few days ago. It freezes at startup.
Nothing turns up in Preferences under Library. There's no "com.apple.imovie" anything. No "iMovie" files. So nothing I can delete there.
I've repaired permissions.
I deleted iMovie. I reinstalled iMovie.
I tried deleting "RobWedding001" without emptying the trash, and loading the program up.
I've tried just letting the program loading and it's still frozen.
I've restarted my computer to see if anything would happen.
I'm stumped.

Hi
You say: problems with iMac until a few days ago. It freezes at startup.
Is this when Yo start-up Your Mac from being turned OFF
or is it when You try to start iMovie ?
If first one - I would go to Apple-Shop/Genius and get help.
If iMovie - Try to start it - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key and cmd-key down during upstart.
You ara aware of that there are at least two kinds of Libraries on You Mac
- Root level Library - the one You find when opening Macintosh HD (or Boot Hard Disk - first window)
- User Library - Hidden - and the one where You find the faulty referens files.
On top row menu (Apple symbol top Left hand Corner
followed by Finder / Archive / Edit / Content / Go / Window / Help
Select Go and now keep alt-key down - and in some versions of Mac OS X.7 onwards - the User Library link will show up.

My PC crashed and I can't find the download email to use in my new PC. Ideas?

I bought & downloaded Adobe XI. My PC crashed and I can't find the download email to use in my new PC. Ideas?

Sorry, I meant to say it was....I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong and I hate their support pages or lack thereof!!! I just want to install my stinking Adobe Acrobat XI that I bought in 2013...I got the serial number from my account. If XI doesn't exist anymore, is Adobe DC what replaces it? How do I upgrade with my serial number? Do I have to pay anything? I don't do anything fancy with Adobe, I just open pdf, print or convert to word. Any help!!!!???

Saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit Preferences Privacy "I can't find prefernces under the edit menu"

Firefox V30.0
I saw a poss solution to my prob of loosing tab groups when closing firefox It read ". Edit > Preferences > Privacy "I can't find references under the edit menu" so cannot attempt the fix offered?

Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there.
You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
See also:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved
App (pinned) tabs and Tab Groups (Panorama) are stored as part of the session data in the sessionstore.js file in the Firefox profile folder.
You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

The older version allowed me to save all open tabs by giving it a name, i.e. April 29, but I can't find it in the new version. Is there anything like it available? If so, I really want it back

Tonight, for example, I have many tabs open which I'd like to close but re-open tomorrow.
I'd like to save them all as "April 30" in my Bookmarks... the 0ld version allowed me to do this, but I can't find this in the new version.
The only way I don't seem to lose those open tabs I'm working with is by doing "Contol + Delete", but I know this shouldn't be done all the time...
There must be a better way, but if there isn't, would I be able to get back and work with the old version?

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

TS2518 how do I update my Aperture 3? I can't find where to download it.

how do I update my Aperture 3? I can't find where to download it?

What is your current Aperture version? And how did you buy Aperture originally?
If you bought it from the App Store, you should see it in the "Updates" tab of the App Store window; if you bought it differently use "Software Update" from the "Apple" menu.
Software update will only work, if Aperture is installed in the Applications folder, not a subfolder of this folder, and if it has not been renamed. It must simply be called "Aperture".

Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades

Final Cut Express installed when I bought my machine will not open, can not find any upgrades. I am working on Mac Os10.6.8.
It always worked before.

There are no upgrades to FCE any longer. Apple has discontinued the product. If you need to reinstall the version you have from the original install discs, use this app to uninstall it first: http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/

you haven't lost anything, it's virtually impossible to delete your Zotero library by accident.
You may just need to show your add-on bar (View --> Toolbars ---> Add on Bar).
To check if Zotero is disabled, go to Tools--> Add-ons --> Extensions.
Make sure to check for Zotero updates, you may need the newest version (2.1.10) for FF6 compatibility.
As a general piece of advice, if technical problems make you frantic, don't perform major software upgrades in the middle of a project. Also, support for Zotero is better on the Zotero forums than here.
