I can't find the folder my documents.  I get my iMac... any ideas on where it might be?

A few days ago, I tried to drag & drop my "Documents" folder on a remote drive (for quick backup) and now this file seems to have disappeared!  Not only it did NOT land in the backup, but now he is not even on my Mac!  Help!  I have subfolders in place with tons of documents in each of them and even if I tried specific documents that I KNOW have been included, I can't find them!

normally it is located in

/Users//documents

    How can I copy the folder my documents in my iCloud drive and then I sync the two after that?

    You can simply drag in iCloud reader, but I pass and move documents in their files app instead. It will probably take a while to download all documents.

    It is not a way to sync without some third party software that synchronizes folders, or learn how to use rsync in the Terminal.

    Instead of synchronization, simply use the iCloud drive in the 'Documents' folder after you move the files.

  • can not find the folder under brushes in the finder

    Hi everyone im trying to clean my presets in Photoshop CS5, I recently saved the brushes that I created in photoshop and I clicked on the new folder button at the bottom to create a new folder named "My brushes" and I saved the brushes, which was ideal because he has created a line of separation between my brushes and photoshops built in brushes to keep things neat and make searching for my brushes less complicated, because before he confused them in alphabetical order with the brushes included in the drop down menu in the control panel shapes.

    But now, I can not find this folder "My brushes" or its contents any where except in photoshop, so I can't rename the folder, delete it or backup my brushes someone know where photoshop is hiding? any help greatly appreciated

    If the library folder in your user name (the' home ', no library folder on the top level of your system disk) contains any Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5/Presets/brushes?

  • I can't find the tab to see what version I'm in help. Where the tab?

    I need to be able to find what version of Firefox, I am, at a given time. One source of help that I found via Google says I should "click Help, then select about MOzilla Firefox. The version of the browser will appear on the Info screen. "But I can't find the help tab. Where is he?

    There seems to be a lot more layouts possible these days that there was once.
    Your Firefox is outdated - you will always have the Firefox icon orange in the upper left corner. Help is at the end of the list; About Firefox is the end of the list to help.
    Now, most people will access help via the question mark in the three Bar icon.
    Or, right-click in the toolbar space and check the menu bar. When indicated, the help is at the end of the menu bar.
    To get a more precise answer to your version, go to Options > Advanced Options > update > view update history.
    I have no keyboard shortcuts, but I think that the previous method of help no longer works. Someone may be able to bring us up-to-date.

  • Can not find the folder in which a bookmark is in

    Before coming here, I read the instructions on the help page, http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20find%20which%20folder%20a..., under the subheading to find the bookmark folder , but there is a problem. When I do as explained and click on the star on the address field, the folder of bookmarks displayed is always Unsorted Bookmarks.

    I have a lot of favorites in many folders and subfolders, and I don't always know their location, so this tip is very useful for me. I placed the Firefox profile on anther, not the same with the OS disk to avoid losing any operating system failure, but I do not think that it will cause a problem because otherwise Firefox works as expected.

    Is this a problem? How can I fix it please?

  • Unable to install printer, can not find the folder c:\windows\system32\drivers can anyone help im new to computers. Thank you

    nothing other than follow install wizard interrupted because usbprint.sys msg

    All of the C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers folder is missing?  If this is the case, I don't know how your system boots.  Otherwise, look for usbprint.sys in C:\WINDOWS\system32\ServicePackFiles\i386 if you are running an Intel-based system.  Look in \amd64 so it's an AMD based system.  You can also find it in C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache.

    The easiest way is to copy (but you will have to do it in safe mode).

    The best way is to use the System File Checker (SFC) by using the "sfc/scannow" command from the run (start-R) menu.  Note that this requires that you have your Windows XP installation CD and the CD for your current Service Pack level.  Note that you might have trouble with the Service Pack CD-ROM will be accepted.  Read KB900910 if this is the case (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900910 ).  This procedure should work for Service Pack 3, too.  (I think that the biggest problem with the CD of Service Pack incompatibility is that Windows Update installs a multi-language version, while most of the CD are unilingual and therefore have different product IDS.)

  • Bridge says it can't find the folder of Photoshop CC 2015

    When I browse in Bridge and locate the image I want to double click on the image, says bridge that it cannot open because it cannot find the file Photoshop CC 2014. Yesterday, I installed Photoshop 2015 and had to remove the folder from 2014. How can I fix so that the Bridge opens Photoshop CC 2015

    Thank you

    Mike Waddell

    Hello Mike,.

    Please, go to Preferences (Ctrl/Cmd-K) and edit Photoshop CC 2015 file associations in the tab "file type Associations. Because you deleted the app folder rather than uninstall it, bridge is still watching for Photoshop CC 2014.

    I hope this helps...
