Where do i find my preferences folder

where do i find my preferences folder

Click on the Finder and use the Go menu and select Go To Folder
now paste this and press Go
~/Library/Preferences
The folder (hidden in 10.7) will open and you can drag it to the sidebar if you need to access it again.
Just a note, in 10.7 Apple has hidden this folder for a reason, so you better know what your doing mucking around in there.

  • Where do i find the startup folder?

    where do i find my startup folder?  Attempts to locate using finder are unsuccessful. 

    I think you're looking for something found in Windows. If you want something to run at startup, go to System Preferences / Users & Groups. Choose your login name, then login items. Click the + to add one, or choose the item and - to delete it.

  • I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?

    I recently upgraded to Lion on an iMac and I am trying to run Garageband but get message telling me that the instrument library is invalid and I should choose a valid Instrument Folder or re-install Garageband. Where do I find such a folder?

    Thanks very much. Yes, I am using the installer files and serial number from the URL you referenced above. I have spent many hours trying to get it to work. I would love some help!!
    The problem is that the instructions that come in the pdf with the downloaded files do not work, because the files that download from that page do not have the names referred to in the pdf, and most of the things that are referred to in the instructions do not happen. Here is what actually happened.
    When I downloaded the files from the website, these are the files that downloaded:
    I double-clicked each one and they extracted into two different folders.
    Then I read a message on the forum that said to move all the extractred files into the same folder, so I moved all files into one file at C:\Creative Suite CS2\Adobe Creative Suite 2.0 as was pictured in the forum message. Here are screen shots showing all of the files in that folder I have now:
    So then I double clicked the "Setup" file and I got this error message:
    So then I tried to install the programs separately from the installer inside the folders Photoshop and Illustrator. I got this far and entered the serial number from the website:
    But then I got this error message, even though I was using the files and serial number exactly from the website:
    I tried both photoshop and illustrator and the same thing happened.
    (I also looked at Solution 2 that you mentioned above but I don't have anything called VCOM on the computer. Also the error message that I got is not that one.)
    I think I really need a set of instructions that lists the steps in order to do, but based on the files that actually download from the website and what happens when you extract the files. I feel as if I have all of the proper files but it still doesn't work.
    Thank you very much!

  • Where do I find the preference plist for mouse

    Hi ALL,
    Where do I find the preferenes.plist file for mouse in Mavericks?
    I like to trash it because I have to click my mouse pointer sometimes 3 to 4 times before the pointer gives my any reaction.
    Thank you.
    Dimaxum

    You may have
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleHIDMouse.plist
    and
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.mouse.plist
    but other settings are in
    ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist
    and
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost.GlobalPreferences.-your ethernet id-.plist
    If you restart or logout right after trashing the files, you'll normally avoid the caching. You can also use 'defaults delete' on the files in Terminal, or use Activity Monitor or Terminal to quit (or killall) cfprefsd
    Test in a Guest or new user account first, to confirm that it's a per-user problem.

  • Where are the Finder list view folder expand arrows

    How do I do the same thing in Lion equivalent to the Finder List View folder expansion arrows? They're gone in the Application folder!

    Check the following:
    1. Go to Application folder (or any other folder with similar behavior)
    2. Chose "View" --> "Arrange by" --> "None"
    Guess this was it!
    Best!

  • Where can I find the Preferences for the Most Visited bookmarks folder on my Bookmarks Toolbar? I want to add more.

    In the past, I was able to add up to 15 bookmarks, but when I downloaded Firefox for my new laptop in January, and moved my files from my old computer, this folder only shows 10, and I can't find where to change it.

    Hi,
    I tried that, but it should be a folder in the toolbar (not a bookmark) that opens with a list of the top visited sites. Currently, it reverted back to 10 from 15 on my old computer after I downloaded Firefox to my new laptop in January and moved my files from my old computer to my laptop.
    When I created a new bookmark as you suggested, it opened up a window (not a list in a folder), and I got this message: Firefox can't find the file at place:redirectsMode=2&sort=8&maxResults=20. However, I'm not looking for a window to open. I already have a "Most Visited" folder with the 10 most-visited sites. I just want to increase the number of sites on the list in that folder.
    Thanks,
    Marsha

  • Where do i find the download folder on my pc

    how do i find the folder on my pc where all the files are downloaded?

    I'm having the same issue, and it's trying to find itunes.msi.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Where can I find the plugins folder when I have opened PSE13? I miss it in this version! If so why did Adobe removed it? Then this version has no use to me.

    I just purchased PSE13 and after installing I noticed that I can't find my plugins  while I could easily open it in my PSE11. Why did Adobe removed it???  If so I think I will install PSE11 again.
    Kind-a weird that this version doesn't have a plugin-use anymore.
    Oftwel: waar heeft PSE13 de plugins gelaten? In mijn vorige versie PSE11 wanneer ik met een foto bezig was kon ik mijn plugins bereiken, stonden ze er netjes bij maar bij deze versie kan ik ze nergens vinden. Mocht het zo zijn dat Adobe deze heeft verwijderd {wat erg dom is, naar mijn mening!} zit er niets anders voor me op om terug te gaan naar PSE11....
    ♥

    I have Windows 7 Professional X86 and I also noticed that PSE13 was installed in my  'normal' program files folder instead of the X86 program files folder. PSE11 used the X86 programfiles folder. I dunno why though!

  • Where can I find my preferences file please?

    Hi
    Director 11
    Win XP
    I've tried changing preferences then searching for files modified at that time/date, but can't find anything.  I want to delete the file because I think prefs are corrupt and I can't find any restore defaults option.
    TIA for your help.

    I think what you are looking for is probably in the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Director\11.0

    If you're using Safari 5 or earlier on a computer, the option is in the Safari menu.
    If you're using Safari 6 on a computer, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click on the Security tab.
    If you're using an iOS device, check the Safari settings from the home screen.
