User template folder moved to trash how to put back in sytem library

moved user template folder to trash by mistake how do i put it back in the system library

Then, you should have gotten an authentication dialog box, assuming that the account is an admin one. If not, then you'll have to change the permissions on the folder. To do that, launch the Terminal.app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy and paste in this one-liner into the window that pops up, hit the return key. at the Password: prompt, carefully enter your admin password (since nothing shows up in the window), and hit the return key.
sudo chmod -R root:admin ~/Desktop/Library
When the normal $ prompt returns, copy & paste this one-line in and hit the return key:
sudo mv ~/Desktop/Library /System/
That should do the trick, moving the correctly permissioned folder back to its normal place. If so, it should be safe to restart the machine. If not, then my next suggestion is to reinstall the software.

  • I accidentally deleted user template folder

    Soooo, I accidentally deleted the locked User Template folder in the Mac Library. Yes, I am an idiot. Not sure why. I unlocked it thinking it was something for my Adobe Photoshop that I recently got rid of and I'm trying to free up space on my computer.
    It hasn't effected my computer YET, but I am a little afraid to turn the computer off.
    What do I need to do?
    I have a 10.7 Mac OS X Lion. It's a Macbook Air, 11', Mid-2011.

    Since applications are much smaller generally then the data is their deletion is usually not very productive. A far more productive way is to delete data files such as movies, videos, music and photos.
    How much free space do you currently have on your disk drive?

  • New account not picking up template from "User Template" folder.

    With past OS'es I've successfully managed to create a new "Staff" account on my main staff image-maker Mac, drag and copy all of that account's folders into: System>Library>User Template>English.lproj
    This is very helpful when a staff member leaves, I can simply create a new account, and the Mac would/should pick up all the settings and items found within the English.lproj folder in order to complete the creation of a new "Staff" account.
    This is not working for me in Snow Leopard for some reason. I'm assuming it's a rights issue on either the User Template folder or the English.lproj folder...or both.
    Problem: The original "Staff" account and all new "Staff" accounts pick up a generic set of folders for that account, even though my self-created account folders are still located in the English.lproj folder mentioned above.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, Gramps.

    Can you share which permissions you ended up looking at? I'm having the same issue. I'm doing exactly what I've always done but for some reason 10.6 is giving me grief.

  • Long log in times after copying profile to User Template folder

    I am having a devil of a time deploying 10.9 and 10.10.  I am deploying Macs in a lab environment which sits in an AD world.  I usually followed the same pattern of image creation: 1) create a test profile, 2) Install and configure the programs and the dock, 3) Copy the profile, and 4) then test with both a local and admin accounts.  With Lion and Mountain Lion, everything worked fine.  The new user was able to log on with the default user template profile that was copied.  Now with 10.9.5, the network user (with a network Home Page) takes 5 minutes to log on when I copy a profile to the User Templates folder.  I can't create a new user from Users and Groups because the system preferences wont close because it is still busy creating the user.   I use Deploy Studio and Profile Manager to push out images.  I followed my procedures to the core including repairing the permissions, deleting the key chain, and clearing out the application caches.  Is anyone else experiencing this?  Is there anything new in regards to Active Directory in Mavericks and Yosemite and OS X?  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hi, you might want to repost this in Server forum, or maybe 10.9 o 10.10...

  • How to put back onscreen keyboard

    how to put back onscreen keyboard?

    Hi,
    I also wanted to get a number of files back out of the trash, but the Put Back option wasn't available.
    I tried everything I could find in this forum with no success, then I found something that WORKED:
    1/ Open Trash window
    2/ Open another Finder window with the folder you want to return the items to (maybe create one if there are multiple destinations - sort out later)
    3/ Select the files in Trash that need putting back, then drag them to the other finder window.

  • I accidentally removed the trash can from the dock. Where do I find the trash app to put back on the dock

    I accidently removed the trash can from the dock. Where do I find the trash app to put back on the dock?

    I know this is pretty old but I wanted to add this for anyone else who might come across this thread.
    I have PathFinder on my system and there is an option to add the "Remove from Dock" contextual menu items to the Finder and Trash. I accidetally removed the Trash icon, and to get it back do this:
    1. Open Terminal.app from the "Utilities" folder in the main Applications folder. Or simply open Launchpad or Spotlight and start typing Terminal.
    2. Copy and paste the below command exactly, be very careful with Terminal as it can cause terminal damage to your computer if used incorrectly.
    killall Dock
    Your Desktop background may flash and the Dock will disappear and will repear after a short pause.
    You should now have your Finder and Trash icons back.
    Hope this helps,

  • What is the User Template folder in the /System/Library? Can I delete it?

    hi, looking for a little help. i was just perusing stuff on my macbook pro and came across this in finder:
    macintosh>system library>user template. it's a folder with a little red circle and minus sign in the corner and the dates it was created, modified and last used were before we bought the computer. clicking on 'more info' tells me i don't have access to it. does anyone know what it is and if it can be trashed without adversely affecting my laptop? the size says 'calculating size' but it never gets off of that. thanks.

    does anyone know what it is
    The source files for all newly created user accounts.
    if it can be trashed without adversely affecting my laptop?
    No, and nothing else in System can be unless instructed otherwise.

  • Question regarding "User Template" folder in system library

    Hello everyone,
    I was cleaning out some files that were no longer needed on my computer and I noticed a folder named "User Template" in the System Library. This folder had a small, red "minus" sign in its lower right corner. I tried to open the folder and it said that I did not have permission to view its contents.
    I am the administrator on my computer, and the only user.
    Can anyone tell me what this folder contains, and is it normal to be denied access to it?
    Thanks much!!
    joe

    I was cleaning out some files that were no longer needed on my computer
    Consider everything in the System folder to be necessary.
    Can anyone tell me what this folder contains
    The default settings and files for each new user account created on the computer.
    is it normal to be denied access to it?
    Yes.

  • User Template folder on server

    We have changed in the office from 10.6 -10.8 with Pages 09 to 10.9 and Pages 5.2
    With the old pages we had an alias of the server folder containing the templates in the template folder in teh users library.
    I tried everything I found with google but didn't work.
    Is there any possibility to get the templates from a shared folder?
    Thanks in advace

    Hi Peter,
    I have thought about that before, but all new iMacs came already with Mavericks.
    That is not an improvement, before I was only struggling "ONLY" with the Numbers templates which didn't work with the server share and now it is Numbers AND Pages...
    That is a step back...
    Or is there any other solution (and my boss hates MS Office.....)?

  • Downloads folder moved to trash.

    My downloads folder was moved to trash and now my Macbook is frozen.

    1. Move the file to a folder not in the trash bin
    2. Open the file with preview
    3. Once open click edit, then delete. This will ask you to convert the file into a .png file. click convert.
    4. Move the new converted sync.png to the trash then empty the trash bin.
    It worked for me.

  • Where's the My Templates folder in Yosemite, or How to delete a Numbers template.

    I have Numbers 3.5.2 - where'd the My Templates folder go? I don't see it in Library/Application Support. .... In other words, I'm trying to delete unwanted templates. Could it be that it's now easier to find than in earlier iWorks, but I'm missing the obvious???

    When in doubt, check HELP. (duh).............
    Rename or delete a custom template
    After you install a template, it appears in the My Templates category in the template chooser.
    In the template chooser, Control-click the template name, then choose Rename or Delete.
    If you’re renaming, type a new name, then press Return.
    You can’t rearrange templates; they always appear in the order in which they were added.

  • I accidentally deleted a folder in the trash and need it back

    I had a problem where my local folders were located under Trash and have been trying to fix it. I deleted the local folder while in trash and can't get it back and it had a lot of info in it

    Ask the app developer. That's not an Apple product. I suspect that if it wasn't backed up, it's gone.
