Show lightroom presets folder wont open!

Hello.. I was hoping someone could help me.
I just bought an iMAC... 3 days now... still trying to get it going and up and running.
Well I finally got my presets downloaded, by importing on the left side of the screen.. which is great.
But I still need to dowload my adjustment brushes...
When I go to preferences, and go to "show lightroom presets folder"
IT WONT OPEN......nothing comes up.. I click and click and click.. I restarted LR, over and over.. nothing comes up.. what am I doing wrong?

Most likely adminstrator permissions on your Mac OS is not configured to give you access but you can find the folder location in this document: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-4.html

Lightroom 5.7 for PC. Will not open the 'show lightroom presets folder' ,so I cannot upload some presets I have bought.

This is driving me mad... I have re-booted my computer, restarted the programme and it will not open. This was not an issue with 5.6, so am wondering if the installation of the update did not complete properly? any suggestions or solutions folks?

Develop Module > left side panel > Presets > User Presets. Right-click and select Import. Navigate to presets (*.lrtemplate files) and click Open.
If you really want to know where they are stored, it is C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets\User Presets

You aren't the only one, and neither is going away any time soon.

Office 2013 applications cannot be made to show the "Documents" folder when opening and saving files

(Windows Server 2012R2 and Windows 8.1 PRO)
We are redirecting the user's "Documents" folder to the network (using Folder Redirection). The OS hides this fact however, and most applications simply see the "Documents" folder when opening or saving files, including Office 2003.
Office 2013 however displays the actual path, which in this case is:
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Even if you forcibly set the "Default local file location:" in the Options Save area to the 'Documents' folder in, say, Word, Word immediately converts the local path to the network path.
Is there anyway to get Office 2013 to follow the virtual path? All of other apps follow it and expose the users only to "Documents".
Thank you so much.

There's nothing in my FAQ concerning screen savers, so I'm unsure why you decided to take that approach. From your description, it looks like you only tried a few of the suggestions before throwing in the towel. That's fine, it's your call.
I don't have the problems you described with 10.4.7. Usually when folks have problems after an update, these are caused by either installing an update on an already-corrutped system or they've installed third-party applications or hardware that have been rendered incompatible by the update.
Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
Good luck!

Presets folders wont open

When I have a picture open in lightroom and click on presets, the folders won't open. I can put each preset in individually and they will work, but if they are in folders, they won't open.

How deep is your nesting of folders?

One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. If the logo is already there, keep holding for at least 20 seconds. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow if it appears. If you are successful, the iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.
If that does not work or help, see if this article helps: <iOS: Unable to Update or Restore>.

Trying to install presets but can't find presets folder

I just upgraded to Lion AND purchased Lightroom 4. I'm trying to install a set of presets by going to lightroom preferences, presets and clicking on the "show lightroom presets folder" but when I click the button nothing happens at all. In fact, I can't click on any buttons in the preferences menu or click on the tabs at the top or anything. I tried to search for the folder on my computer but nothing came up either. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong or if there's something wrong with the way lightroom is installed on my computer?
Thanks

I dont think that you need to reinstall. Apparently, Mountain Lion hides the Library folder. It appears when you look at the main HDD, but when you click on users and then your main account it is hidden and this is where the presets are. Here is a link to help reveal the library folder.
http://mac.tutsplus.com/tutorials/productivity/how-to-reveal-your-library-folder-in-lion-o r-mountain-lion/
Once you have the library revealed you should be able to find the presets at this path USERS/%User%/Library/Appplication Support/Adobe/Lightroom
I thought I did something wrong as well. I hope this is helps you out.

Preset folder location in Win 7

I need to move the preset folder to a new Win 7 computer and I cant find the
Win 7 location to move it to. help? jc

I guess you have "Store Presets with the Catalog" checked in your Preferences and your catalog resides on an portable HDD?
If you want to stay with presets individual to different catalogs, they'll always reside where your catalog resides.
If not, you can
uncheck the "Store Presets with the Catalog" in your Preferences
copy the preferences stored with your catalog to the location you'll see in "Show Lightroom Presets Folder..." after unchecking the switch
From then on, you'll see the same presets with all your catalogs.

Where are Lightroom presets found in Finder on my Mac?

I recently had to wipe my hard drive clean and start over. Before this I had backed up my files on an external drive. I have reinstalled Lightroom 5, but now I want to restore all my presents. When I go to Time Machine where do I find those presets so I can restore them?

Do Lightroom > Preferences > Presets > Show Lightroom Presets Folder.

Missing print templates - Lightroom preset ones

All the preset Lightroom PRINT templates have disappeared. I see the folder on the left that says Print templates and Lightroom templates and user templates. If I import templates they show up in user templates as expected but the Lightroom Templates is completely empty - just pops up new folder box. I have checked preferences and looked for the template folder. I just has a folder for user templates which seems to be what the problem is. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. I also went back and deleted old versions (3,4) and the preferences files and every other file/folder I could find relating to lightroom including catalogs. I have lightroom installed on both my laptop and Imac. The problem is occuring on both so it seems that accidently deleting something is unlikely. I've never looked at the print module before so this may have been going on for a long time.
Any ideas on how to get these.
<moved by mod from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

I assume you mean, Edit / Preferences... [presets tab] Location: [Show Lightroom Presets Folder]. If you haven't yet saved any print presets of your own, then LR has not yet had any need of a User folder to contain such. So one may not yet have been made.
The easiest way to get LR to do that, (and to be sure that you are looking in the right place) : click the + icon next to Template Browser in Print module.
IOW: save a dummy print preset, doesn't matter about its contents, but enter some very distinctive name and then click Create. By default this should go into "User Templates", which is made as necessary, though you can choose to make a differently named folder if you prefer.
Full path on my Win8.1 is C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Print Templates\User Templates
Then take a look in Explorer and see what has changed - if there's any problem, you can always disk search for whatever distinctive template name you have just entered. Copy your other bought templates alongside this new dummy print preset, restart LR and you should be able to start using any of those. Delete the dummy preset in due course.
(Note that it is quite usual for built-in LR presets to be held somewhere quite different, than user created or user added items. The provided choices such as "(1) 4 x 6" and "custom 1 over 2" may not be findable anywhere on disk, for example.)

Lightroom presets help

How do I get my presets that I purchased to go into Lightroom? I followed directions and about 20 times no result.

in Edit - click preferences
CLick Presets then double click Show Lightroom Presets Folder
Double-click on Lightroom
DOuble click on Develop Lightroom presets
these are just a few of my purchased presets. I got to this page by clicking on User Presets that appeared on previous page. I have selected all of these files and tried to move them to documents, downloads and Lightroom repeatedly to no avail. I have also unzipped other preset files and they seem to disappear or show up in a file not within Lightroom 5
i really don't know what to try next. It should not be this complicated.

Question: Where can I locate the preset folder for Lightroom on my Mac Book

Question!
I am trying to locate the Lightroom preset folder on my Mac?

Go into Preferences and select the Presets tab. Click the button to open the Presets folder.
Locations.

Where is the LR5 export presets folder located on Mac Mtn Lion?

I cannot find this folder?

On Windows I can get to this folder with:
LR -> Edit / Preferences / Presets (tab) / Show LR Presets Folder (button) and this highlights the Lightroom catalog folder because I have my presets stored with my catalog.
Once I click into this highlighted folder, the Export Presets subfolder and all the rest of the presets subfolders are under a folder called Lightroom Settings.
With LR 5.2 RC, at least, it appears that the Adobe presets are internalized in LR, and only the User presets are in this folder structure.
