I can't find my "setting" folder on my Imac-- how do I get it back? I think it could be deleted

I'm guessing you mean the Preferences folder.
Hold down the option key and select
Go > Library
from the Finder menu bar.

I believe I had leopard and I was having issues getting errors of system not being supported. I contacted Apple and was advised I needed to upgrade to snow leopard. My laptop is from 2009 and I haven't done anything to it till now. The apple rep also stated I should do a fresh install when putting snow leopard on so my laptop would run faster. Apple rep told me to get a external hard drive to put my info on it so the fresh install would reset everything to like it was brand new. I had someone help me with getting everything on the EHD.. doing the right format and such and then once that was done I put in the CD for snow leopard and hit install. Which brings me to now, with everything but my pictures. I have the EHD plugged in... now what? What do I do? I have looked in the EHD in iphoto and it was all standard images *not my pictures but images of a check mark or an arrow again not actual pictures. I don't see a folder pictures and i looked for images and found nothing. I have Applications, Included Free Designs, Library, System, User Guides and Information and Users, those are my options and non of those have a "pictures"
I have iPhoto '09 version 8.1.2 & Mac OS X version 10.6.3

Hi micha164,
I am curious to know how did Flash Player get uninstalled from Chrome? If you can please share steps to reproduce how your Flash Plugin got Removed?
Also, Can you open chrome application Goto Chrome://plugins and See if Adobe Flash Player Plugin is Disabled? If yes, kindly enable Flash Player Plugin by clicking the [blue colored]enable link and restart the browser to see if the changes have reflected.
Because Flash Player cannot be uninstalled from Chrome using any uninstaller, as it is embedded part of the app installer/update and can only be removed if you remove the plugin reference from the location on disk. Possibility is that your plugin got disabled and did not get enabled after that.
Please see if it helps. If the above does not work then the only resolve is to update Chrome app. Please let us know if your query got resolved or not.

I accidentally removed my download folder from the dock, how do I get it back?

I accidently removed my download folder from my desktop, how do I get it back?

I accidently removed my dowload folder as well. Your tip easily put it back in the dock, but now the folder opens differently. It used to show the most recent downloads at the bottom of a vertical list of icons. Now, a huge folder opens up in seemingly random order. How do I get it to go back to the previous preferences?

PS I tried dragging it back to the dock to the right and the left sides, and nothing shows up - it acts as if I didn't drag anything at all.

I lost my music from my itunes music folder how do I get it back?

I have also lost my Music in my Library on my Ipod. All I was doing was playing the music, went to play an older song and everything was skipping through them. Next thing I know all of my music is gone. My account shows that I purchased them, but nothing is there. I am upset because I can't get an answer from no one and that I have to pay more just to get my music back. I already paid for the music I should not have to pay for them to download it back to my Ipod!!! Someone Please help us resolve this!!!

When i connect my iphone to itunes, the ringtones folder has disappeared..How do i get it back

when i connect my iphone to itunes, on the left hand side when my device shows up..i click the down arrow and the ringtones folder is not there....so i cant add custom ring tones...how do i get it back?

Apparently it does need to be restored because that is what it is requesting. You will need to restore it as New or from a recent backup if you made one.

1. It's gone. Shortcuts like it disappear without confirmation when dragged out.
2. Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu and drag it back.

Thank you for your help. Another questions. For a small business firm of 10 computers what would you suggest the best server. We now are all pc's but eventually I want to upgrade to Apple. I currently have the Small Business Server.
Sorry to say that Apple isn't the best choice in that department as they are primarily a consumer products company, they don't cater to business needs with their offerings.
Phill Scheiler actually said they are interested in the 50% share of the consumer market.
Apple has discontinued their X-Server and now OS X server is really just a hobbyist pursuit, not a serious business solution. The Mac Pro hasn't been updated in ages.
Mac's can be used on Windows, Unix and Linux servers, but on that side of things it's best to use the services of a local server technician. Linux costs nothing for the licenses and is very secure and highly configurable.
You also can go Red Hat Linux which is a commercial version of Linux which requires licenses, but you get the better security and reliability plus business support.
All I can suggest is evaluate your local offerings from many of those type local server business services in you area and go from there. You'll likely be a mixed shop for quite some time or perhaps forever as some won't give up Windows like some won't give up their Mac's.
Also Mac's are not very cost effective anymore, Apple changes the operating system annually which require new software/paid upgrades, Windows 7 will last another decade and offer desktop models that parts can be exchangesd or replaced in house, unlike Mac's which one has to bring it in and AppleCare expires in three years.
So buisnesss and profit speaking Windows is pretty good, but if your like Google who has a big bank account then replacing Mac's every couple of years is nothing.

I deleted a bookmark folder on accident. How do I get it back?

I had many important things in my folder. The folder was on my toolbar. Is there any way I can get my folder back. I deleted it on accident. There is no way I can get everything I put in the folder, in there again. It would take months.

If you have accidentally removed bookmarks then use "Organize > Undo" in the bookmarks manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) to get them back.
The Organize button is the first of the three buttons on the toolbar in the Library (Bookmarks Manager).<br />
That only works if you haven't closed Firefox.
If it didn't work then you can restore the bookmarks from a JSON backup.<br />
This will replace all current bookmarks and you lose bookmarks that were added since that backup was created.

Please provide more detail. How was your account changed? What changed? What errors do you get (if any) when trying to update an app? We are kind of going blind here with such vague description of your issue.

22find keeps returning to the opening page even after i remove it. i can't find the program anyware in my programes. how do i get rid of it?

this 22find open on the start page where firefox start used to be. i remove it from the properties of firefox but when i restart my computer the next time it reappears. it is very annoying. i have reinstalled firefox at least three times and it still comes up. how can i get rid of this.

it looks like some third-party software has hijacked your home page. See the following article for hints, how to get rid of it:
[[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]]

I have just upgraded from 2.0.20 to 3.6.8. The contents of my bookmarks toolbar folder have disappeared. How do I get them back?

1) The upgrade has not created a new profile. I still have only one.
2) I appear to have kept my cookies OK.
3) I have somehow managed to retrieve the old bookmarks list, though I can't remember how I managed this and can no longer find the instructions. What I have lost is the contents of the bookmarks toolbar, which is most important to me. My bookmarks.html file is still present and intact.
4)I have decided, at least for now to revert to Firefox 2. I had the sense to keep a copy of the setup file!

It is possible that the imported Bookmarks Toolbar bookmark folder shows as a folder in the Bookmarks Menu folder.<br />
If that is the case then you can move (Cut & Paste) those bookmarks to the regular Bookmarks Toolbar folder.
