Where does "Library" directory location belong.

Where does Library directory location belong. Had to move things around and not sure it got back in the right place.. /Users/forister/Documents .. forister is the administrator and only user now after trying out profiles.
Then I wanted to install something and it said to put it in this location, but it isn't working. Did I screw it up?
New Mac user.
thanks.

"~/Library" refers to a folder (directory) in your home folder, not in /System/ or elsewhere. (The tilde is UNIX shorthand for the current user's home folder.)
You haven't said which version of OS X you are using but if it is Snow Leopard (10.6.x) or older, ~/Library should be visible in Finder views of your home folder (the one with the house icon). If you are using Lion, you won't see it there but you will see it from the "Go" menu if you hold down the option key when you click on that menu.
Another way to get to the folder in Finder is to type Command + Shift + G, then type "~/Library/Services" (without the quotes) & press the Go button.
As the Read Me for QuickFiles says, you may have to create the Services folder in ~/Library/ if it doesn't already exist. To do that, open ~/Library/ & type Command + Shift + N, then type "Services" to name the untitled folder, then press return.

Where is my Directory Location in my HHD ?

when we do this :-
CREATE DIRECTORY log_dir AS '/appl/gl/log';
where suppose can i find this[b] directory '/appl/gl/log' in my Hard Disk ?!

logical database directory when created goes directly to the oracle database and does not automatically creates the operating system physical directory you have to create the physical directory if that does not exist on the machine/server as to where your oracle database is installed at.
                |          |
                | DBServer |
                |   unix   |

assuming that you have the typical client server architecture illustrated above. on the upper level shows the server which is running on a unix operating system represents the machine as to where the oracle database is installed. on the second level shows the clients PC 1 and PC 2 are running on a windows operating system while PC 2 runs on a mac operating system.
physical directory such as the /appl/gl/log should be created on the dbserver as the server where the oracle database is installed. it is in that machine where the physical directory is accessed by the oracle database.

Where does my Workspace file belong?

For years, I have been using the same workspace by copying the file an pasting it in the workspaces folder in the Photoshop directory. Well, in CS5, that folder does not exist as far as I can find. So where can I paste my workspace file so the workspace switcher will see it?

I know that, but I don't want to make a new work space every time I upgrade versions, or get a new computer. Originaly, I did just that, but was able to save the workspace to a location of my choice so it could be shared with others, or copied and pasted the file for use in future releases. Where is that "new workspace" file created?

Where does Siri get location info? How can I get listed?

Where does the iPhoto library reside?

Where does the iPhoto library reside on your hd? when I go to the search bar above, it shows 2 libraries! I am about out of hd space so I am hoping that it has been duplicated somehow. It's about 36GB. =)
Thanks for your help!
MK

By default it's in your Pictures Folder.
If space is an issue you can move the Library to an external disk:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...)

Safari History Location - where does Safari store its history? (unfortunately I deleted it when running CCleaner...) Now I would like to restore it via Time Machine

Hi..
If you deleted your Safari history, you may not be able to restore using TM but give this a try...
Go to ~/Library/Safari
Look for the History.plist file.
Best to not use third party utlities such as CCleaner. They tend to do more harm than good.

How can I find out where the Library files currently used by iTunes are located?

I have had a bit of a nightmare sorting out my iTunes files so I have various versions of Library files all over the place. How can I tell where the Library file that iTunes is currently using is located? In Preferences I can see the Library "Name", but I don't think that is much help. Preferences also shows where my i-Tunes media folder is but not where the Library files are.
Any help greatly appreciated.
J

Ah, I was assuming you would search in Finder and display some details. All alternative approach is to Option start iTunes and click the Choose option. It should show a file selection box targeted at the folder of the currently active library.

How do you locate the file where iPhoto library is kept? I moved iPhoto library from hard drive to external dedicated photo drive.

I am trying to restore some elements of my iPhoto library using time machine.
Apple instructions call for locating the file where iPhoto library is kept, and tells you where it is on your hard drive. But I've recently moved my iPhoto library to a dedicated external hard drive, and copied my i photo library there. when i click on it, all the photos are there, but it's an iPhoto library, not a file.
When I go into time machine and click on the date i would like to enter, most of my apps have a circle with a line through it, unaccessible. So: a related question, how would i retrieve a photo file from time machine's previous backup? thank you.

Thank you!
I am trying to retrieve photo uploads from my Android phone. When I last updated my OS, most of these vaporized, leaving only thumbnails. I have had two lengthy sessions with Apple phone support, but still haven't solved the problem.
Apparently I can't go back to July '14 iPhoto in time machine and browse files; i have to copy the entire library.
Which I just did, taking 2 hours.
In order to open the iPhoto library from July '14, I had to first update iPhoto.
When I went into the files, the same problem existed -- photo files gone, only thumbnails there. So now I'm thinking that it's the update that was the problem. This scares me to death, because when we're asked to update, we don't get a menu of preferences to make sure something has been unchecked, like the copy option i had enabled when opening photo files from my phone, which i store in a dropbox folder.
No one at Apple could tell me why this happened, so I have no idea how to prevent it from happening in the future.
That's why I'm trying to create better backups...but i can't figure out deja vu, because it won't open and sync the iPhoto library folder -- it wants me to find the file, and i don't know where it is on the external dedicated photo drive.
I realize this is about six issues, not one. But I'm really appreciative of any help i can get!

Where does iWeb store its library file

where does iWeb store its library file

~/Library/Application Support/iWeb
~ represents the User Library. To open this in Lion hold down the option key while using the Finder "Go" menu.

When an iPad is connected to the MacBook And the option says it will make a full back of the iPad to the computer does that mean ALL the files associated with apps on the iPad? If so where is the backup located on the computer?

Where does iphoto put the library?

where does iphoto put the library?
i thought it would be put in the pictures folder but at least in my case it is not there! the folder is empty.
I can import pictures and they show in iphoto and frontrow but I would simply like to know where on my harddisk they end up.
anybody?
thanks

Chris
No! Don't make anew library it will overwrite your old one.
It's there somewhere, it's just that it's visibility status has changed (why??)
Anyway try the following:
go to http://www.cocoatech.com and download Pathfinder. This is an alternative to the Finder - and it has extra features, among them a View-> Show Invisible Items command. This might help us find it.
Pathfinder is shareware, but you can use it for a trial period without paying.

Started iTunes without external drive where library is located

I accidentally started iTunes without my external hard drive turned on (where my library is).
(Now play lists, etc. are gone even if I option-start iTunes and select the external library.) Any way to go back to the way things were ten minutes ago?

The XML file is not required by iTunes but is there for other applications to examine. If this file only is corrupt you can safely delete it letting iTunes rebuild it on the next run. iTunes uses the *iTunes Library.itl* for it's database. If this file is corrupt iTunes may be able to rebuild it from a valild XML version, although some data such as ratings, playcounts etc. may be losts. In general it would be better to restore a recent backup. If you don't actively backup your library files you may still find a recent(ish) copy in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder.
If you elect to rebuild your library from scratch then you can leave the files in their current locations by making sure the option to *Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to the library* is turned off.
