Trying to find Library

My hard drive crashed, lost everything on it. I got a new one, and downloaded i-tunes back on it. Now my library is totally gone. I didn't back up any of my files. Can you help me to find all the music that I purchased from i-tunes and downloaded?

Emily,
If you didn't back up your music then your options are limited.
If you happen to have an iPod with the music on it then this post may be of help:

If any or all of the songs were purchased from iTMS, although Apple's policy states clearly that songs can be downloaded only once, at their discretion they have made one-time exceptions to this policy. You can
b ask
for an exception by submitting the form at the bottom of this page:

Short of that you would have to investigate data recovery options for your old hard drive although I'm not sure that would be practical.

I'm trying to find an easier way to import my music to iTunes. Even the most basic music player can scan your computer and import found music into your library. I don't want to move my MP3s into the iTunes folder, I don't want iTunes doing any conversion.

I'm trying to find an easy way to import my MP3 collection into iTunes without moving, copying or changing it.
I can't believe that iTunes doesn't have this feature, as even the most basic music players always have this.
I only use iTunes to sync my iPod, as I like Media Monkey to play my MP3s.
I have 137GB of MP3s, mainly from my ripping my CDs, LPs and downloading from Amazon. I've only purchased a handful of songs from iTunes,
Any ideas on how to do this easily?

It does have that feature. Why would you assume that it doesn't?

Okay, no problem.
If the top bar menu is not displayed in top left of your iTunes Library, use the CTRL+B keys to turn it on:
On that menu, use File/Add Folder to Library and navigate to the folder you wish to add:
If you wish to add just one song, notice the File/Add File to Library command on that menu as well.
Alternatively, you can drag-and-drop from the file's location into your iTunes Library.
That's all there is to it.
By the way, it is possible to have Amazon MP3s downloaded to your computer and then automatically added to the iTunes Library by the Amazon downloader. I do it all the time.

I lost an xcel doc a couple of days ago. Tried to find the Library folder in Users but not there when I use Finder (even when I do shift-command-G). But when trying to upload a photo in iphoto I found the library folder in Users. I can see my doc in Office 2011 Autorecovery, but can't access it! How do I get User to show Library then I can get to my long lost document?

The auto recovery dat should be in the Microsoft User Data folder in your documents folder, not in the Library. However, I Haven't had to look recently.

I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding library"...nothing happens. Help!

I'm trying to find a way to move pictures from Preview to iPhoto. Tried "rebuilding library"...nothing happens. Pictures ssomehow wound up in Preview after I needed to do a clean install (Snow Leopard) and moved files from an external drive. Help!

If you saw the images with Preview in the other iPhoto Library, than try to open iPhoto with that Library:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2505
If the Photos are there, replace the iPhoto Library in your Pictures folder with the one from the external. (posted by Keith)
My response:
The pictures don't appear in Preview in the other user account. They also don't appear in the external drive (!!!????). I discovered I can get the pictures into iPhoto by saving from Preview to the desktop, then importing into iPhoto, but only one at a time.
Clearly the files are on the hard drive somewhere, but where? The 'iPhoto library" icon that appears in my Pictures folder is a "package" which can't be opened on it's own....it's only able to be imported into Preview.
This feels like the Twilight Zone to me.....

Try double clicking your HD icon, then click on your HD Volume (under devices in the left side bar), then click on Library you should be able to find StartUpItems there.

HT204269 I can't find MobileSync/Backup/ in the Application Support folder in Library, I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day

I'm trying to find my phone back up from a few days ago before I bought my new iPhone, but when I searched on iTunes backup it has been replaced by the back up the day after that. Now all my data from my old phone is lost including some really important things. Also before that iTunes wouldn't let me sync my iPhone 5s data to my new iPhone 6 Plus, saying that the data is corrupt, that's where all this trouble started. I've been trying to back-up the old phones data so I can access it, but it's been replaced when ever I plug the new phone in, and no the 'sync automatically when connected' is not ticked. Please help me find my back ups.

Your iCoud account remains in iCloud even if your device is restored. (In fact, you can't delete an iCloud account from iCloud, you can only choose to stop using it.) If the device is restored, or it may no longer be signed into your iCloud account but your account will still exist in iCloud.

TS3276 The Finder doesn't find ~/Library/Mail, or even "library". I need to do some experimenting to get my mail back and want to back up but can't even find a file with my messages in it.

Trying to save my email prior to a wave of experimentation to get email working again but finder doesn't find "library". Has the library been omitted from Mountain Lion?

Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key to choose "Library".
After that you can drag it to your sidebar for easy access.

Trying to find a file that is not showing up on Computer!!!

I am trying to delete a file that i found on cleanmymac. I am trying to find the file on my computer, but it doesnt work!!! On CleanMyMac it even says the location of where the file is, But i cant find it!!!!

If the file is in your user Library, it's hidden by default in Mountain Lion. You can reach it on the Finder's menubar, Finder > Go > Hold the Option key down > Select Library.
Make sure you know what the file is before you delete it.

Sapinst /usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libclntsh.so.10.1'

Hi
Using Oracle 10.2 , HP-UX 11.23, ECC 6.0 SR3. I am running sapinst with homogeneous system copy option. Database already restored and opened properly. Getting error during backup/restore step -creating the password file. Looking at the sapinst logs it says /usr/lib/hpux64/dld.so: Unable to find library 'libclntsh.so.10.1'

I have checked OSS Note 819829. Verified the path /oracle/client/10x_64/
all the files look good. The permissions and ownership are all correct under /oracle
The sapinst is supposed to install the client.

Any idea experts why it cant find the library?

Thanks. Actually its the other way round. The 10.2.0.5 you see is the Client version. The database is at 10.2.0.2. But thats not an issue. This is resolved now. Issue was sapinst was running with root and trying to start the listener and create the password file which I could do successfully manually with oraSID but not with root. Not sure why sapinst did not switch to orasid to do that
Had to do two things:
1) Set the correct environment variables for root (it was already good for sidadm and orasid bu must be done for root as well)
2) Recreate the links (with ln -fs) for an older installation we had that was recently uninstalled.

Can't see photos, tried rebuilding the library

On my iMac G5 (flat panel) OS 10.3.2 iPhoto 4.03..I don't see my photos.
I can find them in the library under Users/Pictures. But not in iPhoto. I tried rebuilding the library. It said can't find the library, so I located it, but no pictures are showing. I tried reinstalling from my iMac CD - same results.
Should I first completely remove iphoto & the associates files first, reloaded iPhoto, run update, then rebuild? After I back up my libary?

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" bgcolor="#ddffbb">so I located it, but no pictures are showing.</table>
I take it you launched iPhoto with the Option key depressed and found and selected your iPhoto Library folder, right?
What do you see when iPhoto opens? If you click on a thumbnail where the photo should be what do you see? Did you by chance do any renaming of files or folders within the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder? Did you run any software updates shortly before you encountered this problem?
Off the subject but you might think about updating your system to 10.3.9 using the COMBO updater. It does have some very good improvements over 10.3.2. Be sure to repair disk permissions before and after running the updater.

Cannot find Library in Adobe Muse 7.02

I am desperatly trying to find how to use the library in Muse because I bought a muse-themes membership and the library files won't upload when I double click on them to Muse in order to use them...
I have the latest version of Muse (November Update) and when I click on Window to make sure the library is there nothing shows up where "Library" is supposed to be.

Very strange. It appears that someone your copy of Muse half updated. Please delete your copy of Muse and re-install using the appropriate link below. (Do you recall any errors during the original update process?)

Spent some time trying to find a Safari download site with no success. Where is the iMac Safari download site?

Spent some time trying to find a Safari download site with no success. I found lots of Safari sites but no Safari download site. Where is the iMac Safari download site?

(The following does not apply to users of Lion OS 10.7 or later)
If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have) and it is misbehaving:
N.B. Never delete Safari, never run it under Rosetta, don't use proxy settings, and don't change the application's name or move it from the top level of the Applications Folder to a sub-folder.
(If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall. Alternatively you can download Safari directly:
Safari 4.1.3 for Tiger can be downloaded here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1069
Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1422
Safari 5.1 for Snow Leopard can be downloaded from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1070
Make sure you download the correct version for your system.
Also, observe the recommended procedure for installing software: repair permissions and close all applications, install, then repair permissions again.)
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari. Remember: Tiger up to 10.4.10 used Safari 2.0.4, Tiger 10.4.11 uses Safari 4.1.3, Leopard uses Safari 5.0.6, and Snow Leopard uses Safari 5.1.x. If these latest versions of Safari are not the fastest browser you have ever used, then something is wrong!
(Trying to revert to a previous version of Safari can have repercussions, as previous versions of Safari used a completely different webkit on which other applications like iChat, Mail, Dashboard Widgets etc also rely, but if you really want to do this post back for instructions on the safe way to do so.)
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-ons that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet, and the dreaded CT Toolbar. If you have them, trash them, and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for the latest version of Safari on your current operating system.
You must also ensure that you have downloaded and installed all the correct version for your Mac of Security Updates. These require a restart and a permission repair.
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
Hard Disk/Library/InputManagers
Home/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates and updates to Safari (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Lastly, the Safari updates require a restart of your Mac, and sometimes even a double restart is required.
