How do I access my user profile in finder under favorites?

On my new macbook pro, in finder, I am not able to see my user profile with all of my documents, downloads, music, pictures, etc. under favorites in the sidebar. How do I get my user profile to show up?

Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu and drag the folders to it.

  • How to make my iPhoto Library appear in Finder under Favorites

    I have recently istalled the 10.8 on my iMac. The hard drive has been formated new. At that occasion the old iPhoto Library has been copied (and updated later on). It´s location is in Pictures folder. My question is : can I have it separately as an icon - the way it was before - in Favorites.
    This is how it looks now when I open the Finder.
    [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/10h7ec1.jpg[/IMG]
    The iPhoto appears as "a document" and not as an icon.. there is no way I can attach a photo from the Library to an email.. or anywhere else.
    How to make this work right?
    Many thanks.

    Well you click the attach file button and then follow my detailed instructions
    When sending from a browser based mail use the media browser (in the attach window in the lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto)
    For all supported access methods see the user tip on accessing your iPhoto files -https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents
    Or open and read the link I provided which as states included all supported access methods

  • How to setting the root user profile?

    It seems that I can't fine any complet manual to introduce how to setting the root user profile file which locate at /etc/profile? Who can help me find out or figure it out

    first /etc/profile is a global profile for the system
    its not only specific to root
    from here you can configure the system wide paths
    Regardless of the shell you are using, when you first log in your system generally runs the system profile file, /etc/profile. This file is generally owned by the system administrator and is readable (but not writable) by all users.
    After your system executes the system profile, it runs the user profile. The user profile is one (or more) initialization files that define your working environment. For example, if you're in the CDE environment your system checks this file (or set of files) each time you start a new terminal or window.

  • How do I access my *.Nef files in finder and aperture?

    How do I access my *.Nef files in finder and aperture?  What are the key strokes to finding these files.
    BACKGROUND:       I shot jpg and nef during recent trips overseas, but can only see the jpg files in finder and aperture.  Are the original, the raw or NeF files?

    Kirby Krieger wrote:
    Unfortunately, that horse is in the clover.  The distinction would force "raw" to be understood as an adjective (which designates a family of image file formats) and not as an actual image file format, which in turn would help many better understand what raw camera files are.  Alas.  I suppose one could substitute "one of the raw file formats" in place of RAW.
    Alas indeed, Kirby. On the other hand, if mentioning it now and again *does* help someone understand the distinction, then I'll continue to mention it, um, now and again.
    And if it prompts someone to ask a question, all the better - I can then ride this particular hobbyhorse around the forum, slaying linguistic sloppiness in my path.
    That Apple are guilty of the same error is disappointing though. As you say, Alas...

  • I have some magazines subscription on my iphone5S, how can I access the same in my ipad under the same Apple ID?

    I have some magazines subscription on my iphone5S, how can I access the same in my ipad under the same Apple ID?

    Well, if it's that annoying to you, I'd go to the nearest apple store, but before you do, you should make reservation to see the genius there. I'm sure they will help you. Just show them where the stuck pixel(s) are.
    But honestly, though I don't want to be a downer here, but even if you get it replaced, the possibility that you might get more stuck pixels when you get a new one. But of course, you can also be lucky that you can get a perfect one too. Usually stuck pixels should fix it self (not all the time tho).

  • Can't access old user profile data (folders with - signs)

    Hi,
    My iMac (model below) running 10.6.8 would not load from the start-up screen, so I reinstalled the OS from the instalation discs.  After doing so I was able to gain access the desktop, but had been assigned a new user profile.  My previous music, email, photos etc. were stored in a "previous system" folder, and while I can access the overall folder many of the sub-folders have a in the lower corner which keeps me from being able to open/access them.
    Is there a way for me to open or move these files?  Or perhaps reinstate this "previous user" to the system?
    I am further stuck because I purchased the upgrade from 10.4, to 10.6 electronicially and now can't access the information needed to return to that system.
    Any helpw would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Scott

    Thanks Again Niel, you are super fast!!! 
    I went to the system preferences and then user and saw that the only user currently was also marked as "Admin".  So I tried it again with my photos folder and entered the longer name and password I set up and it worked.  What was different was that I changed the Admin name from the "short" name put in the field automatically to the "longer" name along with the password.
    Not sure how this going to work with my email or how to get back to my upgraded version of Mac OS, but I guess I can keep playing with it and see.
    Thanks again,
    Scott

  • How To Properly Delete a User Profile on Windows 7 in a Domain environment

    I have not been able to find an answer that matches the issue I'm facing. I had recently setup a laptop for a user and soon after, he was experiencing issues that I thought might be profile related. So, I did what always worked for me on prior versions of
    Windows without any fuss or side affects.
    Logged in under the local Administrator account, I went into: System Properties>User Profiles>Settings and removed the user profile from their. When I do that, I get an error message:
    Profile Error
    Profile not deleted completely. Error - A required privilege is not held by the client
    Ok, no problem I think. I just need to delete the user's profile directory under the users folder right? So I do this and figure when I try to log in again as the user that a new profile will be created. However, this is not what happens exactly. I login
    with the user credentials and it logs in successfully. However, I get a pop saying:
    You have been logged on with a temporary profile
    You cannot access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log off. To fix this, log off and try logging on later.
    Please see the event log for details or contact your system administrator
    So my question is; why did the profile not delete completely after both deleting the user profile under System Properties and after deleting the actual profile directory? What did I miss and what is the proper method of deleting a user profile completely
    without running into these other issues?

    Hi Womprat,
    According to your description, I understand that you want to delete user profile but display an error in Windows 7.
    Please use other user (with administrator privileges) login this computer, then open Properties for Computer--->Advanced system setting--->Settings for User Profiles, then select the profile you want to delete.
    More details about Delete a user account, please refer to:

  • How do I prevent "The user profile service service failed the log on" error messages?

    I work for an organization with approximately 60 staff members across ~80 Windows 7 Professional PCs. Users log in with Active Directory accounts.
    Approximately once per month, a random user will get an error message while attempting to log into their machine that says "The user profile service service failed the log on."  The solution to resolve this issue is here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215?ppud=4&wa=wsignin1.0.
    The problem is that I want to PREVENT this issue from happening, as it is incredibly inconvenient for the user. I had one staff member board a 5-hour plane trip expecting to do work, and once she got in the air she logged in and
    received the error message and was unable to use her computer for the trip. I've had others locked out of their computer with deadlines to get things done, while I am at home off the clock. Editing the registry is not an easy fix, and so it's not something
    I can just post instructions for in a knowledgebase article.
    Does anyone know how to prevent this issue from occurring? I believe that it has something to do with a network-based startup script, or a service trying to connect to our file server, or the computer trying to connect to our ad server. All of these
    are blocked by firewalls (unless the user is off-site), and I suspect that the services may be timing out, causing the user profile service service failed the logon error message, but I can't seem to eliminate it, after nearly a year of trying.
    90% of the time this problem occurs when the user is off-site, but it has happened while the user is in the office too. Once the user gets this error message, the only way to resolve the problem is to log into their computer as a localadministrator account
    and perform the method #1 fix in the knowledgebase article.
    Thanks

    Have you checked the logged files in event viewer around the time when problem occurred?
    Is there any suspicious events like error or warning related to this issue.

  • How can I access the user library of the other users on my iMac?

    I am in the process of changing the HDD on my iMac (Seagate 1 TB - free of charge exchange from Apple). As I have had some problems with my kids' user accounts I want to set it all up as new when I get it back.
    Challenge is ofcourse that they have played some games and they want to keep their levels etc, and this is stored in their users' Library. How can I access this from my own account or from a back-up? I have both a Time Machine back-up and a CarbonCopyCloner.

  • Accessing Portal User profile info from report

    Once the user logs into portal, I would like to access some of the user profile information (personal or organizational details). I need to find the stored value of the employee number, e_mail and department. This is needed to restrict the information that will be returned to the user in portal reports.
    ie. Access the portal users department and only show them information fo that specific department. If I can access I can store the value in a session variable or cookie.

    Just have a look at <portal_schema>.wwsec_person$
    There is also an API <portal_schema>.wwctx_api.get_user to get the user currently logged in.
    Thanx,
    Chetan.

  • How to schedule hourly incremental User Profile and Audience compilations?

    Can this be done in CA?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    The incremental UPA Timer Job can be changed in Central Admin's Review Timer Job definitions. If you do set the job to hourly, you'll run into this issue with how the job is displayed: http://thesharepointfarm.com/2012/12/setting-the-upa-incremental-timer-job-to-hourly-results-in-no-schedule-set/
    You can also change the User Profile Service Application - Audience Compilation Job from Weekly to hourly, but I'd discourage it. It is set to weekly (even on SharePoint Online) as it is a fairly expensive operation.

  • How do i consolidate two user profiles?

    My MacBook Air has two versions of my user ID - only one of those I use. I fear that all my files are duplicated, because my startup disk is full. How can I consolidate these two profiles? And, are my files really all there twice and taking up lots of room? Thanks for your help!

    Well, mostly you don't. Most of us eventually wind up with at least two.

  • How can I access my user folder on a second boot partition?

    Hi there. Thank you for reading this. I am at a bit of a loss although I have searched several forums to find someone having the same problem:
    I use my Macbook Pro in the office and at home. To keep things strictly apart and have to separate Time Machine backup procedures, I have divided my harddrive into two boot partitions ('office' and 'private') and installed Mountain Lion on both of them. Now occasionally when I am at the office I would like to access my  user folder on 'private' to retrieve a file from the documents folder there (e.g. a paper I gave in my free time but would like to send to a colleague). Now although I see the 'private' volume, and the other user folder and the Documents folder in it with a red 'No Access' badge, even when I  set read/write permissions via Command-I > Permissions for my current account, I do not see any files in it apart from Microsoft User Data. I have tried enabling the root user but with the sam result.
    Do I really have to shut down the computer and boot with the 'private' boot volume in order to access the files on 'private'>user?
    Looking forward to your suggestions! Thank you in advance!
    Christian

    To solve this issue permanently, is to first disconnect both TimeMachine drives.
    Boot into one partition and consider it history, make a note of everything, apps, export bookmarks, serial keys and files to a regular external drive. (non TimeMachine)
    If on a hard drive, consider the first partition for performance, the second one is going to be slower. (SSD no need)
    Next what you do is boot into the first partition and use Disk Utility to erase (with zero option if a hard drive) the other partition. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the first partition to the second. (should be about equal sizes or tweak before cloning.)
    Repair permissions on both partitions in Disk Utility.
    Next boot into the second partition and install/uninstall apps and files. etc and set it backup up the way you had it.
    Once your sure, then update TimeMachine for each one.
    Now you will be able to easily access the other bootable partition as long as your logged into the same account name on the first partition., in other words you can access the same named account on both partitions and trade files without rebooting.
    Because it's a clone, you have the same access privileges to the files on the other partition.
    If your a power user, your going to find bootable clones are a much superior option than TimeMachine
