User/Library/Application Support folder empty

I had to hard restart because of a frozen screen. Could not force anything to quit. iWeb was open at the time. On restart, my iweb came up asking for a Domain account as though there was never one created.
I checked my home folder/Library/Application Support - it is completely empty! Nada! What the hey?! I pulled a Domain.sites.2 file from an external drive and clicked it, and it started fine (from my last save point several days ago).
I opened "Backup.app" and it opened in default mode as though I had never set up a backup. Only yesterday morning it had automatically backed up my Home Folder and my Personal Settings - now nothing?
I clicked on the most recent iLife backup file on external - it would not open. Ditto with the last Home Folder backup file. Ran Permissions and it corrected a Library file, but that didn't help.
reset PRAM (two bells) still no files. LIbrary/Application Support is completely empty. Any ideas.

It sounds like some Hard Disk Corruption.
First see if this happenned...
Return to default desktop, apparent "loss" of home directory...

Could be many things, but it's best to start with these two steps, which may fix it also...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc , then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, *you must select your language first.)*
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

Where do I place third party plug folders for effects in Final Cut 10.1 under Mavericks? The /user/library/application support/final cut directory doesn't exist on my computer.

I can't seem to find the proper directory to copy third pary plugins for use under Final Cut 10.1. The ../library/appliation support/final cut pro directory doesn't seem to exist. Where do I put these files?

Um - they didn't go there with 10.0.x either. All the effects, titles, transitions, and generators in FCP X are Motion templates and get placed in user/movies/motion templates, into the appropriate folder depending on the type of effect.

Where is the user library folder

Where did Apple put the users' "Library" folders in Lion?! If they no longer exist, where should I go to find the user's "Application Support" folder (which I always used to find in the user's "Library"). Am I missing something? Am I blind? I never used to have this trouble. I need to change the default file for a program and that file resides in the "Application Support" folder within the user's "Library" folder (at least, it always used to reside there!)
I can't seem to find anything about this in the help files that come with my computer.

To Find Library folder
In Finder...
Press and hold Option key
Click Go on the menu bar
Choose Library

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Help please

I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?

In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate

Share files from the Library/Application Support folder between user accounts?

I am using Mac OS 10.10.2, and am having trouble with allowing my son's user account to see his Minecraft files which are on my user account (User/Library/Application Support/Minecraft) how do I make it so that Minecraft will find and use these files rather than the empty folder on his own user account?
thanks!

Thank you! I should have thought of that. So, what I actually did was go into finder, "get info" on the Minecraft folder, and check the "share folder" box in the info window. I was then able to open his saved worlds on his account, and doing it this way will mean any changes to them can be accessed from my account as well.
Thanks again!

Here, let me explain the way you use the word "crap" in a sentence like this, especially when I'm asking for help from a total stranger such as yourself. It's rude, obviously I know now not to do something like download something like that to my computer. It's not the difficult to figure out, and obviously I'm suffering the consequences for it now. So are you planning on helping me? Or should I not reply to your next reply if it has the word "crap" in it? I'm sure this whole discussion board was created to be used in a professional way, which is how I would like to keep my responses.

I go to the User/Tim../Library/ Application Support folder and it's empty ?

trying to download and install an application on OS 10.3.9 looks okay but I get message: "Can't write User/Tim../Library/Application Support/"specific App"./.license: No such file or directory"
I have used utilities and verified and repaired permissions multiple times. Any ideas about what might be going on here?

Well.. I have had some success. I went to my 3rd partitioned hard drive 10.3.9 (HD-3) which was fairly empty and clean. Checked the applications support folder there and all was cool, just like the 10.2.8 HD (HD-1). I placed this econ-portraits & prints, application in the apps folder, used key code and checked things out - all worked fine got entry in the apps support folder for that HD-3. Then I went back and started up in the troubled 10.3.9 (HD-2)went and opened that same application from within the 3rd HD and low and behold, after entering the key code I finally got something to appear in that "B" hard drive's library apps support folder (empty till this point in time). I don't know what is wrong but at least I'm functioning and can print some photos. Like sausage, maybe I don't really need to know how it made it. But there must be something weird in the electrons. Maybe I should think about eliminating some HD's or getting a newer rig and just converting this into the digital juke box I plan for the future. I might also attempt to reload 10.3.9 as a clean install but I worry about loosing all my iTune (6,000 songs)and iPhoto stuff. Thank you all for your help, I went to macworld in Jan. and tried the apple techs but they were somewhat preoccupied with iPhones at the time and had no answers. This is what the mac community is all about. My question is not answered but I am happy to be using the app. again. Sorry the this short story & One more big Thank You to All..

Lion 5 out of 10 Stars

Use the following:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
Generally, ~ should be used instead of manually providing the home folder path.

How do I find user/library/application support

I want to back up my Yojimbo Database. BareBones tells me it is in the Application Support Folder in the User Library. How do I find the User/Library!

The User (meaning your name)/Library is now hidden in 10.7+ so you need to use the Finder > Go and paste
~/Library
and press enter, then open the Application Support folder.

Where has the User Library gone in Lion?

The User Library, ~/Library, is no longer viewable in a normal Finder window.
How does one access it now?
There are times when I want access to it to make a copy of my Address Book database, empty the User cache or in transferring data from an old computer to a new one without using the Migration Assistant.
There must be a way other than using Terminal... I hope.

Finder>GO hold option key
Additional note, since this doesn't say what should happen... Holding the option key while clicking the Go menu in the Finder causes a Library item to appear. Choose that to open the hidden user Library folder.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/ && killall Finder
There is no need to "killall Finder" to make this work. Simply doing "chflags nohidden ~/Library" is sufficient.

Where is the user library folder in lion?

I don't have one.
Also, what is the lion download file called because I can't find it.

The dorks at Apple made it invisible for some reason, to make it un-invisible:
Launch Terminal and at the prompt copy/paste this command
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Dear Apple, please give us some options to turn off all your "nifty" new features like abolishing "Save As" and forcing all windows to reopen on restart.

Address book disappear, Application Support folder can not be opened

My address book disappear from my MacPro, I know it is in the User Library-Application Support folder, but when I try to open that folder, it has a red tag on the folder and it said I have no Authority to open that folder, I am the only one using this machine, never have this problem. And it will not allow me to restore the address book from Time Machine back to this folder. What's wrong? I think I need to figure out why it wont let me open the Application Support folder, could anyone help? thanks.
One Symptom: when I run the address book App, and try to import address file, the Menu bar- File-the Import dialog was greyed-out and can not be used.

Could you please check the Sharing &permissions of these two folders (command +I). Check to see if you have "Read&Write access to these folders. It should be your user name with read&write privileges.
     You will have to open the lock on the bottom right and it will request the admin password. Should your name not be there, select it by clicking on the plus sign on the bottom right and selecting your user name. Select Read&Write privilege and under the gear wheel beside the plus and minus signs,Make sure you apply to enclosed items.
      It sounds like you somehow got them buggered. Rebuilding the permission table should of cleared up the problem. This could be a case of booting with your install DVD and rebuilding permissions from there.
                                                        Food for thought.
Next time you even think of modifying anything in you user library, Duplicate the whole folder and then you have a reference to go by. Just make sure that it is deleted after you are finished. This should be a standard step when troubleshooting. Changing something.....make a copy.
