Where are the FCP 7 preferences?

I've seen notes on the web about deleting Final Cut Pro 7 preferences:
on your MAC internal hard drive, navigate to
/users/yourloginname/library/preferences, and delete this file -
com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
navigate to
/user/yourloginname/library/preferences/FinalCutProUserData
and delete these three files -
Final Cut Pro 7.0 Preferences
Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
BUT I don't see those files (or folders) including com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist anywhere on my system. I've searched for it with no results. Any idea what's up with that?
thanks
Scott

You are looking in the wrong place, I think. Your /Home/Library/ folder is invisible. You need to make it visible:
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.
Now navigate to the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder and look for the required files to delete.

Where are the FCP preference files???

Is it possible to delete the preferences in FCP 5 without the program opening? If so how do I get to there?

Get yourself fcprescue for your version of fcp.
It trashes all the prefs (which are stashed in a couple of places.) It also allows you to save a good set. Then it's a matter of two clicks to trash bad prefs and put your good ones back.
It's a must have.

Help, where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop CS6

Okay, I admitt, .... I am an idiot that is new to Adobe Photoshop.
But help the new girl out, here.... Please...
Where are the render preferences in Adobe Photoshop Extended CS6.
I searched Adobe Help in Dutch already but they point me towards options that doesn't excist.
Maybe they were there in Adobe CS5 and I am reading an older version of the documentation...
But in CS6 I can only find the option Render and no Render Preferences...
Thanks !!

Adobe changed the way video is rendered in CS6. Adobe Media Encoder in now used in CS6 only a subset of the Adobe's full Adobe Media Encoder is included in CS6 is a dll. I do not think you can add new Rendering Presets however you can change some setting when you use the supplied Reddening Presets. Perhaps if you have the Adobe suite and have the full Adobe Media Encoder you can create some presets and add them to Photoshop Rendering presets. I seem some compliants about CS6 Quicktime rendering presets lack the power of CS5. The Rendering presets seem to be stored in sub folders in "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder" and "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Video\Adobe Media Encoder"

Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located

Hi
Where are the swipe preferences for calendar located? Is it two fingers swipe down to goto the next month?
Thank you in advance.

I don't know that there are any preferences for setting what swiping does in the Calendar.
Two finger swipes left and right skip months in month view. They skip weeks in week view. Two fingers up and down scroll up and down (which does nothing in month view).

Where are the font preferences in Safari 7.0.3?

There are alternatives and it's always a good idea to have a backup browser installed.

Where are the settings/preferences for firefox?

I am trying to find the settings/preferences for firefox but I updated my firefox and now cannot find them.

Why didn't I think of that .... In any event, I found the answer. The issue lies within the "automatic proxy detection" selection. If its selected and OSX cannot determine the proxy, this causes a cascading failure on upgrade websockets using ws:// protocol headers. You need to uncheck the automation, and the manual HTTP and HTTPS proxy settings will be used for all protocol headers that originate from HTTP/S including the WS handshake upgrade and connection protocol.

Where are the system preferences for internet access?

I had to re-install 10.6.2 with a disk formatting... all went well and I manage to go online .
But I notice that my old system preferences are not back in place... I don't have all the connection settings I used to have and in which I had a manual IP address for a school ethernet network connection.
Where can I find them?
Can I just drag them back into my computer?
Thanks for your help.

If you have a backup of your entire previous system, you could try looking at /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.network.identification.plist . I'm not 100% sure that's where the information would be stored, but it looks promising. If you think you would recognize the IP address when you see it, open that file from your backup with a text editor and scan through for the IP address. Then enter it in your network settings.
If you don't think you'd know what you were looking at, you could try moving that file from the backup to the new system, but I'd take some precautions. Move the newer copy of that file to the desktop temporarily, then restart and see how things work. If anything goes wonky, put it back, replacing the older file. If after a few days all is well, trash it.

Where are the library/preference folders?

I changed to Lion. Because the OS I started from had corrupt files I opted to partition and create a clean instal; and because of the corruption on the old system I do not want to use file migration. The only two things I need to move are my .plist files for iTunes and iPhoto, which I can find on the old system but not on Lion.
I unlocked the hidden files but I can't find the library or the prefernce folder in which to place the old .plist files. Where is it? Does anyone know?

Where are the security preference files in SL?

Some apps (e.g. iTunes) keep asking me if I want to Allow or Deny incoming connections when they're launched.
In the Security > Advanced window/list these apps definitely are properly set (i.e. to allow/green) but some apps still keep asking me if I want to allow or deny every time they are launched.
I deleted the com.apple.security.plist file, but after rebooting, the list remains for the Allow/Block apps... as well as the Security > Advanced boxes either being checked or not.
So... it appears there must be more than one plist file (i.e. com.apple.security.plist file) that I must delete to reset the Security Advanced window.
I have also deleted apps from the Security > Advanced list (via the ' - ' button just below the list) and for the first launch of these apps the display of the dialog box asking to allow or deny disappears, but upon the second launch they again display a dialog box asking whether I want to allow or deny connections. And yes, I looked and they are properly set as to whether to allow or block (green or red respectively).
This began after one of the last updates many months ago. I'm only now posting because it's getting on my nerves and I haven't been able to figure it out.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
Ron

Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail?

Where are the emoticons in Mac Mail 5.2 on OS 10.7.3?

I used colon parentheses with the smiley emoticon which is the normal code for a smiley. It works on this forum. I used to type these in all the time on Eudora so I'm familiar with the different combinations.
I added a space after it in the system preferences/language popup and sent myself another letter with it included and it still doesn't work in Mac mail (I added a space before and after it in MacMail). but it does work in TextEdit now.
Yes, "use symbol and text substution" is clicked.
The checkbox is ticked in the replace box; in the next box is the colon/parentheses with a space, and then the smiley in the next box.
Thanks for trying to help.

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?

Where are the files for the Backups that show up in About This Mac - Storage?
My new Macbook Pro 13 retina has 1TB flash drive. But despite my TimeMachine being in a TimeCapsule my Macintosh HD shows 277 Gb of space has Backups. What is this for? How can I delete it?

OS X Lion and newer Mac OS X versions create local snapshots in portable Macs if Time Machine is enabled. See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html
You don't have to worry about. They are stored in a kind of volume named "MobileBackups", but they appear as stored in your hard drive. To delete them, open System Preferences > Time Machine, and turn off Time Machine. Then, turn it on. However, you don't need to delete them, as they will be deleted when your hard drive gets full

HT2500 Where are the files of past mail kept in the Mail program.

I want to do an additional backup of my email on Mail. Where are the files of stored past mails kept? In the same Mail.app?
Thanks
Gil

Hi Gil,
On Mail...
First Quit Mail, then I'd backup these two Mail folders, by right clicking on them in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail
Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail Downloads
(Could be a different folder here if you chose such in Mail Prefs)
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place, same for the Mail Downloads folder... only the plist is separate.
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
