Particle emitters have disapeared from library folder.

I opened motion day and all of the particle emitters that came with the program are gone. There are zero items in the folder! Does anyone know how to fix this?

hi
go to the preferences folder, which is in the Library folder in your users folder, find the one called com.apple.motion.plist and throw it away. Reinstalling the suite doesnt over-write preferences file.

Removed some files from library folder

moved files from library folder and attempted to put them back after experiencing major changes and problem. This is not correcting the situation what can be done to restore it back to what it was before I started?

Hi Ali,
Update, I did a verify permissions with disk utility and some stuff is where it should be now, (recovered iphoto yeah) but still a problem with other things as before.
So to answer your questions,
What is the exact path to this folder? And please post the contents of the folder.
I get to her old itunes by the following path;
home>music>itunes>itunes music - this folder contains folder icons of all her old itunes library, each artist has a folder, such as amy cook>list of albums>list of songs - if selected will than open itunes and will import to new itunes library.
I don't quite understand the heirarchy you are describing. Please post the contents of her Home folder.
Her home folder contains
Desktop
Documents
Library
Movies
Music
Pictures
plus 9 folders she had created over the past four years these are intact and accessible to proper application programs (ie documents open in appleworks, pictures are from the pictures library not iphoto, 3rd party software such as genealogy programs are intact and up to date)
"I find some old unchanged items such as itunes, imovie, email mailbox items, in a folder that she created before the change took place in her user
account."
What is the exact path to this folder?
As for this folder some things were moved back to proper places with the above mentioned verify permissions, some like, mailbox items, I was able to import to current settings to restore to how it use to be. From what I gather she created this file when things were going wrong and she feared messing the whole thing up. I access this by the following path;
home>library>(then the folder she created) Library do not touch.
When I compare the main library file to my account main library file they do not contain the same items in fact many of the missing items seem to be in this folder that she created. I assume the ones I need are in this file she created but I am really hesitant to just start moving things around out of fear of creating more problems on her side or messing up my side.
If you have sufficient available disk space, you shouldn't have any problem, but you need a reliable backup, just in case.
In regards to archive/install - sufficient available disk space meaning as much or more than what I am currently using? How do I check this to be sure?
Which brings me to a whole new question if you have time?
We do have an external back up system, which we used before a semi-recent move, (I plan on finding the box it is packed in believe me), however we attempted to use imacs backup program to do a quicker backup, were able to back up her side onto disks, but when I attempted to do the same on my side I received an failure error screen something about a drained buffer and being unable to perform a backup. Please tell me I have not fried my dvd drive!!!
Thanks again, hope I answered in a way that is helpful to you.

I would like to create the a swatch, add it to the library and import to the swatch panel. The help pages available relate to earlier versions of Muse, which does not work with the 2014.2 release version that I have. I have created a library folder, imported the colour swatch as just 4 colours as a mulib file. I drag the four colours on to the muse page in design view but that is as far as I get. Can anyone help? Thanks

I don't know since I don't share anything. You'll have to peruse the help files and check the permissions and ACLs on the Shared folder. According to the permissions on the Shared folder everyone can R&W. If you want those to be inherited by everything dropped into the folder, add an ACL for
everyone allow read, write
Details in the manpage for chmod. The actual steps are left as an exercise.

When trying to transfer book i have borrowed from library to my nook ...

when trying to transfer book i have borrowed from library to my nook using adobe digital editions 3.0 i get the following message.. CE_COPY_NOT_ALLOWED - No permission to copy book. why is this????

I logged into my account, then I synced all my songs onto the library using my iPod. All my songs are on there except the ones from CD's.

I appear to have a duplicate library folder which is taking up a lot of space (one outside my user profile and one inside). How do I know which one to delete?

I seem to have duplicated my 'Library' folder - one inside and one outside my USER folder. (additionally there is a Library folder in the systems folder - but that should be there!). I do not know which one to delete (both 8-10 GB) Help!!

There should be at least THREE Library folders:
1- Inside your "home" folder, the one with your user name.
2- At the "root" level of your boot volume.
3- Inside the System folder at the "root" level of your boot volume.
If it's one of those three, ignore them - especially if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
If it's some other Library folder just floating around somewhere, you can safely delete it. Note that every user account will have its own Library folder inside its "home" folder, and these you should also leave alone.

Seem to have an "extra" Library folder...huh?!

Hi all,
Up until recently I've been trying to figure out why my home>Library folder had mysteriously moved inside my home>Documents folder. Finally having the time to do some detective work I used Time Machine to see when the change happened....right around when I went from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.
In searching the forums, I discovered that my home>Library folder is still there; it's just invisible. However, it's now even more a mystery as to where the home>Documents>Library folder came from or why it exists!
As it is now I have FOUR Library folders on my iMac: 1) Library at the top level of the hard drive, 2) System>Library, 3) home>Library (invisible), and 4) home>Documents>Library (which appeared the same time my home>Library folder became invisible).
This "rogue" Library folder is like the middle of a Venn diagram of the top level and System>library; it shares some, but not all of the top level Library folders, and some, but not all, of the System>Library folders.
Does this make sense to anyone? I started thinking that my file synchronization app had caused the problem (I was using Chronosync to sync my Document folders between my iMac and my late 2006 MacBook running Snow Leopard), but there's no reason synching should have picked up a folder that usually resides outside the Documents folder. Since then my MacBook's HD took a dive and I don't have a backup of it that goes back to the period in question when the folders did their disappearing/reappearing act.
Any thoughts?
TIA,
Kath

Hi there,
So I am able to see the Library in my home folder after reading the option open in the "Go" menu tip in another discussion, but thanks also for making sure I had it.
So then, on comparing all 4 Library folders again, it looks like everything in the "rogue" home>Documents>Library is contained in the top level Library (the one that resides at the same level as the System, Applications, Developer and Users folders).
The rogue Library folder looks like a very incomplete version of the top level System folder, containing only 25 duplicate folders of the main level Library's 67 folders (opening those folders showed the rogue Library had the same, or fewer, nested folders and files within).
So perhaps I can just delete it? I definitely don't think it belongs....but it does bother me not knowing how it got there, especially in its "incomplete" state, unless it's been partially building itself since it arrived in the Documents folder.
Strange....

Had to reinstall OS and Itunes..Will not import songs from library folder

I reinstalled my Windows 7 OS and Installed Itunes 10.6 but when I add my ipodmusic folder to the library it does not import the songs into the library. I tries dragging and dropping a few songs but it deletes them from the folder.
Any ideas?

I think I'm having the same problem. This is what I get when I try to import songs:
The iPod “Ian” is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this I Pod with those from this library?
Yes No
What is this about? My buddy accidentally hit yes, and lost all of the songs on his iPod. I simply want to update my iPod with new material. This new material was obtained while using a different computer than what I originally used when I first got my iPod. Does anyone know how I can get music from a new computer on my iPod

Iphoto albums have disapeared from side bar? how do I recover them?

All my iphoto albums have disareared from the side bar how do I recover them?

To repair your iPhoto Library you basically select your iPhoto Library in the Finder, hold down the key-combination ⌥⌘ very firmly, then double click the iPhoto library to open the "LIbrary First Aid" panel. Select "Repair Database" to repair your database files in the library. You may also add an "Repair Permissions", if the first repair did not help.
If all fails, try "Rebuild Database", but that should not be tried without a current backup. Did you bring a portable drive with you?
You did not mention your iPhoto version; if your version is not the most recent 9.4.3, look at this document on how to run the repair: iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library

Some of my songs have disappeared from Library

I've imported more than a dozen CDs into iTunes and have been listening to them on the computer and with my shuffle. Now, I get error message on some songs from a CD (but not the other ones) that says, "...the original file could not be found." When I go to the iTunes music folder, I can't find some songs from the album.
Any suggestions? Is there a limit to how many songs can be in the iTunes Library? Would the songs be move to another place on my computer?

I am having the exact same problem. Strangely, the song that was non-existent and had an exclamation at the left, appeared fine the next time I opened iTunes to update my library, or create a playlist.
Play it safe and back-up all your songs, whether they're on iTunes or another application on your computer. If you've a DVD burner, the single layer DVD holds appx. 4.7 Gigs of data. Download all your music files onto however many DVD discs it takes. If you've an external hard drive, send them there. I don't trust iTunes quite yet.
As well, I keep duplicate song copies in my Windows Media Player 10. I've had no issues nor surprises.
Let me know what you find out. And vica-versa.

Can't move songs from library folder to new Nano

Just got a Nano and want to load songs to play for my newborn baby girl. I have an existing iTunes library of mp3s - When I try to move some into new playlists on my Nano they don't transfer. Sometimes I get that circle with a slash, other times when dragging them over the new Nano playlist folders they seem drop-abble but dont copy over.
Is there something I'm not understanding about copy-protection.
Anyone's guidence, suggestions or help is most appreciated!!

The easiest way to get tracks off your iPod will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed

Any idea what could have happened to profiles that seem to have disappeared from profile folder?

I wanted to experiment with profiles so I created a new profile called "temp". This seemed to work but when I tried to go back and reselect any of the older profiles I received an error message saying that this couldn't be done while any instance of Firefox was running (none were).
Also, when I opened the Profiles folder I only found the "temp" profile I had just created but none of the other, older profiles even though they were listed in Profile Manager.
I've lost my bookmarks and who knows what else. I did a search of my C drive to see if perhaps the missing profiles might have been located in a folder other than the profiles folder. I even did a search for .sqlite files. I did find some very old versions of my profiles that I had copied over from a previous computer but these did not have my up-to-date bookmarks. Any ideas? Seems crazy, I know. Thanks.

Thank you, cor-el, for this information. It certainly explains why I was getting the message that Firefox was already running.
I can see in my profiles.ini file (see attached image) the (4) profiles that also show up in the profile manager. The the question remains, what happened to the profile file, which I now believe was the "Richard III" profile, that was in use prior to my creating my "temp" profile (that I recently renamed "Feb 2011")? No attempt was made to delete the "Richard III" profile either with the profile manager or otherwise. Simply creating the "temp" profile seems to have blown the "Richard III" profile out of existence, leaving not a trace.
As you can see, the "Richard III" profile's path leads, as usual, to the Profile folder. But only the "temp" profile is found there.
One of the specified paths, the one for the "Richard" profile, leads to a folder that's not directly related to Mozilla. The "Richard" profile (which I used as bases for the "Feb 2011" profile) is a profile that's over a year old. I assume it became the bases, way back when, for the "Richard III" profile, the profile that's apparently vaporized.
I hope this makes sense even if the loss of the "Richard III" profile does not.

Gadgets all have disapeared from home page (google) and I when I add a new Gadget it doesnt appear, althought it they do show in IE in when I open it, including the new gadget. any clues?

Win 7 and recently upgraded to ff 4.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled but makes no diff.

If you want a specific webpage (like the Google page) to always open when you open a New Tab, you can use the following add-on to Open New Tabs with your Favorite Pages:
-> NewTabURL 2.2.3
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
* NewTabURL will not work until you set the page that you want to open in the Options for it.
* click Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to NewTabURL.
Check and tell if its working.
Not related to your problem but do the following:
-> Update Firefox to the latest version 10
* [[Installing Firefox on Windows]]
-> Update All your Firefox Plugins -> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
* '''When Downloading Plugins Update setup files, Remove Checkmark from Downloading other Optional Softwares with your Plugins (e.g. Toolbars, McAfee, Google Chrome, etc.)'''

All my plugins have disapeared from Logic ):

This is strange, i did not experience any crashing at all.
Basically i quit logic and installed Little Snitch. Later on i came back into the computer and started logic loaded a project that was completed and needed to be bounced to .wav and it while loading it said all my plugins were missing!
This has somewhat stuffed me up. Pretty lost, not sure what to do? I noticed the "Audio Units manager" under prefences doesnt work either. nothing happens when i click it..
has anyone else experienced this ?? ):
cheers

Hi, dgroyer.
A lot of 3rd party plugins are only 32 bit. After reading peoples letters to the forum, many state that they won't run properly in 64 bit mode. Try switching back to 32 and see if that solves the problem. Good luck. I hope you solve it.

Help! Photos vanishing from library....

I began to comb through my iPhoto library to compile a best of 2005 slideshow, and noticed that random groups of photos are gone. I've checked the trash (which has never been emptied), I've gone and looked through the entire library, and I've navigated through finder to the iPhoto library folder within the home directory to see if there are any trace of them there. Nothing. This, of course, is very irritating. It seems to be entire imports that are gone. I have about 10,000 images in the library...and have been backing it up by copying the library folder to an external drive. Unfortunately my last backup reflects what I am seeing on my library as well.
I'm assuming there is no magic fix (but if there is, please let me know). I was hoping someone might know why this has happened and how to prevent it from occuring in the future. I know that I've had to force quit iPhoto at times...but photos I'm missing had been well after a force quit occurred.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Alan

I just discovered a similer problem. I'm running a g4 powerbook with the lateset version of tiger and iphoto. I just opened my iphoto and discovered that a huge amount of my photos have disapeared from my library. They are still on my hard drive but don't show up in iphoto. All of my albums are still there but they all show up as empty.
Right before this happened all I did was open the program.
Please help.
