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?

Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

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 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.

Flash 7 where are the library contents?

I am using Flash 7 and I need to free some images out of the
library for some other use. So where are those images kept because
i am not seeing how to do that with any library menus. When I try
to launch an external editor for these pictures, it says unable
because the original path from years ago is not there, as you would
expect. I do not want the original path, i want the actual photos
that are now in the actual library. Please advise, thank you

hmm, those images were removed from the hd long ago cuz i
thought they were imported into this mysterious library. I'm a
little hesitant to screen grab cuz the resolution is dependent on
the screen. I like pristine files.

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 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.

It seems Adobe Bridge CS5 > Preferences > Cache offers a »Purge Cache«-button.

Where are the finder preferences stored?

I have an entry for a deleted folder in the "Places" section of the finder screen. I am unable to remove it. Rebooting doesn't help.

when in finder, go to finder then preferences in the menu bar at the top of the main display.

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

Authoring Tool - Where are the updated MPs for the Library After Applying Update Roll Ups

All,
Fairly recently, I took a client to SCSM 2012 R2 UR3. Today I dropped by to do some work for them on custom MPs, and when I attempted to open them with the SCSM 2012 R2 Authoring tool, I could not, because the 7.5.3079.148 MPs (UR3 version) are not in the
library. I have searched high and low to locate these MP files to drop them into the library, but I am coming up empty handed. Where are the .MP files? I am aware that we can just directly alter the referenced MP version number in the MP itself, but I want
to know where do we actually find these correctly versioned files for the authoring tool.
Thanks,
Z

Hey Everyone,
I have heard back a few times from MS, but with nothing substantially helpful other than they created a bug for it. Today they called again and said this is listed with a low priority, because not enough people are complaining about it, which has a several-months
time frame for resolution. He asked me to submit Connect Feedback and get people to Upvote it and state that they can reproduce the problem. So, I went out there, found one connect request already submitted (By Thomas Bianco above) and attached to the bug,
and I Upvoted and clicked the Repros link on it. Here is the link below, so please get out there and and Upvote and click the Repros link.
