User Library Import

I want to be able to share my user libraries with other team members. I tried hacking the libraries.xml with no sucess (I eventually was able to get them to show in the list, but not as importable items, they were greyed out).
What is the best way to share them?
Thanks,
Mike

Keith - I'm not sure if you're looking to just share the library or truly duplicate it. So a good starting point would be to look here and see if this solves the issue since it's the easiest thing to do:

  • How do I open the User Library on a "Firewire" Mac?

    I recently replaced my trusty 2008 MacBook Pro with a new one. Not my choice, the video board or some such has tapped out. The new one is working great but I now have to retrieve some old emails. I can use the old Macbook as a "Firewire" drive using a connector I got at the Apple Store. But, as usual, I cannot get into the User Library on the old machine. I have the old boy backed up to Time Machine but I can't get to the User Library there either. I do not need a complete restore as I actually like the clean install of the newbie, but I do need to find these old emails. I have tried to import the email from TM through Mail but it just freezes up.
    Amy suggestions? Can the geniuses at the Apple Store retrieve this stuff?
    And by the way, why does Apple feel it necessary to hide the User Library when I can go into the System Folder and Library and gum up the works there? What are they protecting me from. Currently I have used a Terminal command that allows me to see my User Library but it won't work on the Mac that is used as an external drive. Unless someone can tell me a Terminal command that would activate that too.
    Thank you.

    They are protecting you from yourself who likes to go in and gum up the works.
    Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
    Pick one of the following methods:
    A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN.
    B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
    C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
    ~/Library
    Press the Go button.

  • I desperately need to access my User Library folder in Time Machine (Lion so = not visible).

    Hi. I installed Lion a few months ago and got a new external drive to back up Time Machine.
    Nobody told me the User Library would be made hidden in the new OS. I have been backing up regularly in the belief that all my work, settings and so on was safe.
    Yesterday my iMac (27" 2.8 Ghz Core it with 4 gib memory) suddenly went mad. Message saying finder had quit whilst trying to restore windows. Desktop was flashing, no icons clickable, no external disks readable. Could access some progs and terminal, but nothing else. Could not get into the history folder to trash various plists and so on as the folder is hidden and the alt Go wouldn't work. The Finder just wouldn't do anything.
    I have sorted it out BUT I have lost my address book entries, my browser booksmarks, my desktop shortcuts and my iCal entries. I need to access my User Library on my Time Machine. Is there a way?
    I cannot believe I have been religiously backing up my stuff but Apple has made it so I can't access my backup of one of the most important folders on my Time Machine???
    Is there anyway of getting into this from Terminal or something? I will never be able to get back all the bookmarks and stuff I've been researching for years. I have it backed up on two different hard drives, both of which have 'invisible' library folders. I have make the folder visible now, for future backups, but it's after the horse has bolted. I am furious, and just feel like bursting into tears because of all the time it's going to take me to get all my work back. I can't tell you how stupid this was, Apple.
    If someone could help I'd be really grateful. I've got older backups but they are so old they won't get back my recent stuff.
    Thanks.

    select Finder
    hole option key and select Go in the menu
    Select Library
    Enter Time Machine
    You should be seeing all the versions of you Library folder.

  • How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was  not backed up or exported

    How to get existing library imported to new itunes install, old library was not backed up or exported.  This occured due to Win 7 user profile was corrupt.

    I know that in Mac OS X one can pick which library to use by holding down the option key while starting iTunes. What's the Windows equivalent?
    Press the Shift key.
    WIll the fact that the music is now on another physical drive make a difference
    No.
    I know the previous install is at least 7.0, but I have no idea about which point release.
    Try checking the content of the iTunes Music Library.xml file.
    Finally, what's the expected behaviour (or required procedure) with respect to reauthorization of this computer to use the same ITMS-purchased files?
    You will be asked to reauthorize the computer.

  • User Library Taglibs Not Detected

    It seems that NitroX only detects jarred tag libraries if they are in the lib folder. I have, for instance, an Eclipse user library setup that includes the JSTL jar files. NitroX does not detect the JSTL taglibs, even though my deployed application works just fine. If, however, I copy the same jar files into the lib folder then suddenly NitroX detects them.
    Is this a bug?
    Thanks.

    Sorry about the incomplete information.
    We just released NitroX version 3.0 M1 (stable milestone build 463) which supports taglibs imported using "External JARs / Add Variable / Add (user) Library" method.
    Use any of this method(s) to include the external taglib jar file(s) and then follow below steps:
    - Close & reopen the project
    Note: By default tag libraries imported from external location do not list in the Tag Libraries view
    - The "Tag Libraries view" displays the respective tags that are defined using taglib definition
    Ex: <%@ taglib uri="http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs/datetime" prefix="dt" %>

  • User Library - User Roles RoboSource 3

    When using RoboHelp Server 7 and RoboSource Control 3.1,
    there is a short help topic that describes the User Library - User
    Roles - and each permission (what it enables or disables). This is
    pretty brief information. I'm having many different issues with
    getting permissions set up for each of the authors on my technical
    writing team at my company. Does anyone out there have any more
    information (more details) on what each permission does and
    enables? I don't think I should have to assign all rights,
    especially admin and subadmin to all of my users just to get
    everything working the way I want it to.

    Finally got an answer from Adobe customer support. Having
    gone back and forth for a while with a web case and getting no
    where fast, I called and talked to the customer support
    representative on the telephone. A couple of things helped clarify
    my issue. First of all, the difference between X5 and RH7 source
    control is that the default behavior when deleting using the client
    is now to "hide" topics rather than delete them from the database
    permanently. You can keep users from bringing those topics back by
    not giving them the unhide right. The only way to actually delete a
    topic from the database permanently now is to use the RoboSource
    Control Explorer, which breaks the project. Of course, I just check
    out the folder fpj file, modify it myself, and check it back in to
    fix that issue. But who wants to do that all the time? And not all
    of us understand XML and are able to do that. OK, so that is the
    first issue. One has to understand that hiding is deleting now. But
    on to the second issue. Why was the topic I was deleting only being
    hidden from me and not all of the other users are our team? Turns
    out I should not be giving Admin and Sub-Admin rights to myself as
    an authoring user. Only the "Admin" user account should have these
    rights, and only for administration, only use the Admin account.
    After removing these rights, I was then able to delete topics and
    the topics would then not show up for any of my team. I also found
    another issue resolved by taking these rights from my authoring
    user account. When I had the admin and sub-admin rights, I could
    not re-import topics another time. I would get a message that said
    the topic already existed in the project. After removing the
    rights, I could then choose to overwrite the existing topic or not.
    Thus, my other post in this RoboSource Control forum about wanting
    more than a one-liner on user rights is even more important. I
    submitted a feature request for better documentation of user
    rights. Let's hope someone listens!

  • Can''t see inbox.mbox file in user library

    For some reason, I can't see a .mbox file for my inbox when I look in my user library Mail folder. I can see a junk.mbox; I can see a deleted messages.mbox, but no inbox.mbox (or sent.mbox, for that matter). Can someone tell me where those messages live in the library? They must be somewhere, but I can't seem to find them. I am about to migrate to a new Mac Pro, and want to make sure everything gets to the new machine. I am currently using my laptop as my main machine, because my aging dual-867 mhz. MDD machine is nursing a dying hard drive, and nothing has been able to repair it, so I stopped using it. Of course, I still have a lot of mail on the old machine, and I wanted to archive the inbox contents to a .mbox file that I could import to the new computer. Are these mailboxes different from other mail folders? Thanks for any help.

    Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate...

    Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
    Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chris

    you can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
    0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
    1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…".  This will bring up a dialog:
    2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
    3) find the files:
    com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
    com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
    and move these to the trash.  I would NOT empty until later.
    4) restart Numbers

  • How do I move users, including my user library (which is invisible) to a different hard drive?,

    I have two 750 GB hard drives in my new mac mini.  Lion is installed on hard drive A and I want to move users to hard drive B.  I have dragged the user files from HD A to HD B and have re-mapped the users to the folders.  Turns out, in Lion the users libraries are hidden and won't copy.  I can unhide them (using Finder, go to folder, ~/Library, GO).  But it will not let me copy the library folders because it is invisible. 

    Open the Terminal application in the Utilities folder and paste this to unhide the user library:
    sudo chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Hit enter and put your password in.

  • How to get a color profile stored in a user library from within Photoshop CS5

    Hi!
    I have a specific color profile that I want to load int PS CS5 color settings. I've placed it into my user library/application support/adobe/color/settings folder and all was good. Now i'm in PS and can't find the user library to load the settings. (Interestingly enough, I have no problem getting into the system library. Go figure) Any ideas?
    -Marcia

    Apple has hidden ~/Library starting with Lion. You can put Adobe Color Settings files, *.csf, into /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Color/Settings instead of the user folder; and ICC profiles belong in /Library/ColorSync/Profiles.
    Or you can unhide ~/Library with this command in Terminal:
    sudo chflags nohidden ~/Library/

  • How can I access the user library of the other users on my iMac?

    I am in the process of changing the HDD on my iMac (Seagate 1 TB - free of charge exchange from Apple). As I have had some problems with my kids' user accounts I want to set it all up as new when I get it back.
    Challenge is ofcourse that they have played some games and they want to keep their levels etc, and this is stored in their users' Library. How can I access this from my own account or from a back-up? I have both a Time Machine back-up and a CarbonCopyCloner.

  • Error while running User Profile Import - Stopped-extension-dll-load

    Hi guys,
    I'm receiving below error message in event viewer while running user profile import for the first time with event ID 6166:
    The management agent "MOSS-" failed on run profile "MOSS_EXPORT_". The run step stopped because a configured extension for this management agent could not be loaded.
    User Action
    Verify that the extension is located in the Extensions directory. If the extension is present, confirm that the version of the .NET framework  that can run the extension is installed on the server and that a supportedRuntimes  entry in the configuration
    files specifies that version. The synchronization  engine will not be able to load an extension that is built with a newer version  of the .NET framework than the version of the .NET runtime it is hosting.
    At the same time , in miisclient "stopped-extension-dll-load" message for MOSS_EXPORT,MOSS_FULLSYNC, MOSS_DELTASYNC. Can any help to let me understand what will be causing this issue?
     Farm version: 14.0.6137.5000

    Hi Sarath,
    For this issue, I recommend verify the things below:
    Check if the connection name of the Synchronization Connections created in User Profile Service Application has more than 55 characters. If yes, please rename the connection with less than or equal to 55 characters.
    Check if the length of the full path to the dll called “Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ManagementAgent” is
     greater than 160. If yes, then we can move the extension Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.ManagementAgent.dll to the folder c:\windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL and then do an IISRESET.
    If above cannot work, please check ULS log for more detailed error message.
    Best regards,

  • I am trying to back up my mail (5.1) directories but I can no longer locate them. They used to be in the user library. Would be grateful for some assistance.

    I am trying to back up my mail (5.1) directories but I can no longer locate them. They used to be in the user library. Would be grateful for some assistance.

    They're stil there;  Apple decided to hide your Library folder.  Hold the Alt/Option key while selecting Go in a Finder menubar and select Library.
    Do you have other backups, made with a proper backup app?  If not, that's the best way to back up your data, rather than doing it "piecemeal" via drag & drop.

  • Where did the User Library folder go?

    I installed OSX 10.7 yesterday and was quite excited to do so, and by day two I am regretting it.  whether it is the uslessness of launchpad, to all of the old things i find missing.  One thing i just noticed was that i cant find is the User Library folder.  The system Library folder is there but not the user.  am i missing something?  oh and getting rid of front row?  why?  i watched trailers there all the time!...sorry sorry...off topic.  grr

    Use the following:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    Generally, ~ should be used instead of manually providing the home folder path.

  • Photoshop CS6 files saved to User/Library/Caches/Temporary Items

    Many of the users on my school network cannot save their Photoshop files to a specified folder. Instead the files are automatically saved to User/Library/Caches/Temporary Items folder.
    I've changed the File Handling Preferences with no results in changing this issue. Since a couple users did not experience this problem, I'm wondering if it might be a permissions problem.

    With the new versions, you have to be more precise with Folder redirection :
