Making alias in the library/application support

Hello,
I'm trying to find out all the folders in my library and application support that I can make alias, and send to my external hard drive. Can I make alias of my entire libraries (Macnitosh HD and Home account), and move them to my external?
And how do you clear ALL caches? Please contact me at <Edited by : Host>
Thanks.

Hi, Abdul. You can make an alias of almost anything and put it anywhere you like. It's what you intend to use it for that will determine whether an alias in that location will serve your purpose. What are you trying to accomplish with these aliases?

    I can't find in maverics the library/application support/aperture/plugins folder... someone knows how to install pt lens plug in?

    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.

  • Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

    Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

    They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

  • Where can i found my Domain of iWeb in the new OS X Lion? Also i can't find the iWeb folder in the Library/Application Support. Help Please

    I want to copy my Domain of iWeb to work in another computer, but since the new OS X Lion, i can´t found it in Library/Application Support/iWeb like in Snow Leopard.
    Help please!
    Thank you!!!

    Can you get to the Library folder via the Go menu?
    Or download and run  Find Any File  to search for the library with the following settings:
    That will give you the following results:
    Are you using a different Terminal front end than the default one for the Terminal applicaiton?  I'm asking because of the "clicked on RUN" statement.  I get no RUN item in my Terminal application.

  • Share files from the Library/Application Support folder between user accounts?

    I am using Mac OS 10.10.2, and am having trouble with allowing my son's user account to see his Minecraft files which are on my user account (User/Library/Application Support/Minecraft)   how do I make it so that Minecraft will find and use these files rather than the empty folder on his own user account?
    thanks!

    Thank you! I should have thought of that. So, what I actually did was go into finder, "get info" on the Minecraft folder, and check the "share folder" box in the info window.  I was then able to open his saved worlds on his account, and doing it this way will mean any changes to them can be accessed from my account as well.
    Thanks again!

  • Install error on Mac "could not create ~/library/application support/adobe/coresync"

    Any reason why this would be happening and what I should do?

    I'm getting this same error after trying to install on my mac pro.
    I see that the cloud installer was able to create the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder and a bunch of folders in side that, but it complains
    about not being able to create the CoreSync folder.
    I ran into this, then uninstalled everything, and nuked the ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe folder completely and started over.
    The installed created the Adobe folder and "AAMUpdaterInventory", "AdobeApplicationManager", "Extension Manager CC", OOBE, SLCache, SLStore, Vulcan
    folders just fine.  but it can't create the CoreSync folder in the same location.  
    I'm stuck.

  • I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

    I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

    In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible.  To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate

  • Trying to install AOM in Bridge CC but can't find the "Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions" folder - where is it? Thank you!

    After updating to 10.9.2 the Finder changed and I feel something is hiding - for example, I no longer seem to be able to "GET INFO" about my hardrive... only my drive and "my documents" etc... maybe this has something to do with not being able to find this folder:  Mac OS: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions

    Jeff... Yes. I meant to mark this solved - found another thread recommending using FINDER-GO TO- and /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Bridge CC Extensions.
    It worked easy.
    That little bit of info would be a great addition to that install AOM instructions.
    Thank you for asking!

  • I have installed Adobe Lightroom CC.  In the process of launching, a popup appears, that says:  "AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED.  Cannot create the required folder:  /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets."  So e

    I have installed Adobe Lightroom CC.  In the process of launching, a popup appears, that says:  "AN INTERNAL ERROR HAS OCCURRED.  Cannot create the required folder:  /Users/(my user name)/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets."  So even though Lightroom CC is installed, it will not launch.  What do I need to do to allow it to launch?

    The problem was solved today.  Here's the full story.  I'm a Mac user.  At first I installed Lightroom CC on my iMac (desktop).  I had this problem so I called Adobe, and was referred to a "special unit" .  After about an hour the tech solved it for me ... we did a screen sharing and she took control of my computer for a loooong time.  Because of language difficulties, at first I wondered if she knew what she was doing but she eventually solved it.  Although she couldn't explain exactly what she was doing, she summarized it by saying "it was a permissions problem."  I asked if I would have the same issue later when I installed it on my laptop (Macbook Air).  She said probably not.
    But I did.  The same internal error popup arose on launch and launch did not complete on my laptop.  I tried chat but no joy so I eventually called Apple Care.  I had noticed that on my laptop (and the iMac for that matter), that there was no Library folder after my user name.  The Apple tech explained that the Library folder is actually there but it is hidden because it's very easy for users to do some very nasty things to their computer by going astray while in the Library folder.  The folder is actually there, but they hide it.  I did remember seeing that the tech helping me with my iMac had typed the work "Library" while she was controlling my computer.  Basically she had activated the hidden Library folder so she could open the path that Lightroom was trying to follow to create that "Develop Presets" folder.  For some reason, the inability to create that folder in the launch process was preventing launch from being completed.  The Apple tech said she didn't actually have to do that and activated the Library folder by use of the Go selection on the menu bar.  Anyway, once that complete path was replicated and opened, the next step was to go to the Lightroom Permissions field and add my user name to the user categories already there and enable "read and write" permissions to my user name.  Once done, I shut down my laptop, and then rebooted.  I launched Lightroom and then boom, voila, heavens to betsy, etc. it launched and suddenly a dismal weekend turned into a great one. 
    I am not a geek, so I hope this makes some sense.  I also hope Lightroom launches again tomorrow and beyond! 

  • Safari does not support community toolbar ive searched my computer for the following like people have said in similar posts but none seem to work /Library/Application Support/Conduit /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader /Library/Receipts/ctloa

    hey all i know that there have been many post about this community toolbar thing that pops up when opening Safari
    i have searched my computer for the things that have been posted in the other posts to delete
    /Library/Application Support/Conduit     (no conduit in folder)
    /Library/InputManagers/CTLoader         (i dont have input managers i have input methods but still no CTLoader)
    /Library/Receipts/ctloader.pkg                (no ctloader.pkg)
    /Library/Receipts/<Toolbar name>.pkg      (nothing in this one either)
    /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/CT2285220.bundle         (NADA)
    /Users/<User name>/Library/Application Support/Conduit           (NOTHING EITHER)
    where / is the root library on your Hard Disk.
    If you are running Snow Leopard you should also look here:
    Library/launchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
    Library/Application support/conduit plugins
    i have pretty much looked everywhere i dont even know where this thing came from
    can anyone lend some advise i really do not want to take the 2 hour ride to apple to get this off my computer
    thanks so much

    When you see this path:   /Library   That is your root Library.
    Open a Finder window.
    Select MacintoshHD in the Sidebar on the left then open the LIbrary folder then the Application Support folder, then InputManagers folder, the Receipts folder.
    For this path:  ~/Library/Application Support  (your Home library)
    The Tilde character ~ represents your Home folder.
    From that same Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar. It has a small house icon. Open the Library folder then the Application Support folder.
    Move all the Conduit/CT associated files you posted above to the Trash.
    Try Safari.
    I've yet to find the launchAgents.plist file in any Safari crash report in years. I don't think that's a problem.
    Another way to find files on your hard drive is to go to your Finder.
    From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Go / Go to Folder.
    Example. Type in:  /Library/ApplicationSupport   click Go
    Or type in:  ~/Library/Application Support   click Go

    I installed LR CC , but when i try launching it flashes & it is gone. I tried the solution in the Adobe Site - which says search for the folder Library/Application Support/ Adobe/ Sl Store ...., but i can't seem to find the SL Store or SLCache folders ( i use the Mac). Only then can i apply the solution. I just cant seem to find the folder in the first place

    That did not work for me & as per adobe site help if signing out does not help- we are supposed to go the above folders & do some additional steps, but i could not find the folders & hence the question

    The link Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ doesn't seem to exist on my computer.

    Thanks.

    Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

  • Where is the library with Library/Application Support/Adobe?

    PhotoShop Preferences / Additional Plug-Ins gives this path: Mcintosh HD: Library: Application Support: Adobe: Plug-Ins: CS6: File Formats.
    But I can't access this library in any of the ways suggested: neither Option-clicking on Go nor ~/Library take me to that library.
    Where is it?

    You want the global /Library folder, not the user ~/Library folder. Leave out the ~
