The lost user library folder

I am trying to rebuild my system on a second internal hard drive.  I often need items from my current user library but am not able to access while in the new system.  As a work around, I tried to copy the former library of the user towards a third hard drive.  But when I try to access it on the third hard drive it is still hidden.  The third hard drive has no system software other than the user library that I copied here.  Is it possible to access?

Open the folder that contains, choose go to folder from the Finder menu and provide the library as the path.

  • the profile user account folder can be renamed instead of create a new user account

    I noticed this issue posted everywhere that none got the answer, the person posting was looking for.  Basically, the question is "can the folder of the user profile account be renamed? '...  I have the same problem.  I sent a PC in for repair.  They reloaded the operating system and created the new test user account.  Rather than just create a new user account, I've renamed the test NAME user account.  I couldn't help but notice later that user account folder name has remained the same "TEST".  That's why you have people to ask the question "can the folder of the user profile account be renamed instead of create a new user account."  It of an easy fix but does not answer the question.

    It is not usually. If you have a computer, why not have just him take care of it for you instead of friction top yourself? ;-)

    Try this instead if you really must do it yourself:

    1. create a new administrator account. Call it 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar. You definitely want to have an administrative user account like this set up that you will use not except for emergency situations. You will use this in the elevation of privileges in your daily report - which will be a Standard account - but will not need to connect to CompAdmin after that company copy unless something goes terribly wrong. ;-)

    2. create a new user account Standard for your daily work. This called something that makes you happy. I don't know your real name, so I'll call it "HDXer". Connect to HDXer to create the profile files/folders.

    3. connect to CompAdmin and:

    a. Control Panel > everything on the control panel > Folder Options

    b. click on the view tab, click hidden files and folders, clear the Hide protected operating system files check box and then click OK. Now you can see everything.

    c. using Windows Explorer ("computer"), search for the file C:\Users\Test.

    d. Select all files and folders in this folder, except the following files: Ntuser.dat, Ntuser.dat.log and Ntuser.ini.

    e. click on the Edit menu and then click on copy. If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    f. Locate the C:\Users\HDXer folder.

    g. click the Edit menu and then click on paste. If you don't see the Edit menu, press ALT.

    Sign out and then sign back in as a HDXer. All your stuff should be there. You need to configure your icons and wallpaper (Control Panel > Personalize) and some preferences have been postponed, but really with the exception of the email all your data, Favorites, etc., should now be at the HDXer.

    If you have messages in an e-mail program, such as Windows Live Mail, Thunderbird or Outlook, you must import your e-mail messages and addresses to the new user profile before you delete the old profile. Because I don't know what you use for email, I can't give you the details about it. If everything is working properly, you can remove the old Test profile by using the user accounts applet in Control Panel. It won't hurt anything to make you leave the trial on the system for a while, or even forever.

  • How can I find the hidden in El Capitan user library folder?

    Situation; a friend gave me a Macbook Pro upgrade so that it can use it with the more modern software. The first time he came he worked perfectly, using his login credentials. Went through the process to get the computer upgraded to El Capitan, which went perfectly, right upward through the appropriate shutdown sequence. Tried to start again after leaving the Macbook Pro to sit for 2 weeks and now I can not connect to the user account, and there is only 1 Administrator account on the computer. Is be the account that can not be connected.

    I need to get into users home folder/library, and now that I can not connect, it is not possible to use the thumb... Utility of Finder window. I need to reset the user account, but disk utility is useless these days, even if it does not resolve broken Finder problems. Cannot reset on Admin account or the other. Yes, I know, security risk. But...

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  • How to share the specific user-specific folder?

    This looks like some sort of an old question, but I was working just by there myself. I managed to do work in doing this;

    1. go to computer files that you want to share (action)
    2. Right-click on the folder or files
    3. You should get a menu asking if you want to share with homegroup, so yes, it should be complete at this stage
    4. If you don't get this click with the right button on the menu, then the residential group is not defined in law. You must both PCs has joined the same homegroup and who needs to work before sharing specific files.

  • Open windows with the "preparing your desktop" and all the specific parameters of the lost user

    Original title: laptop charge no office

    Please bear with me, this is my first post and I'm not very computer literate. I have a laptop Packard Bell under Windows 7. Everything seemed fine until I turned it on the other day and after the login screen I noticed that the blue screen of windows had a message saying, preparing your desktop... it stayed for a few minutes and then he went to my office, but the screen was black and none of my usual icons were present. He has none of my usual icons in the taskbar either. My usual browser of choice is Chrome, but now there is only IE in the taskbar. I did a scan with Malwarebytes and it came with JS/Redir, I removed this and restarted the computer laptop, but had the same problem. I can't access the internet, but a strange thing is that the default fonts for things like email have been changed. Please help me get my usual workstation and familiar environment of return!

    Hello Maurice Mann

    Thank you for all the time and effort that you put in trying to help me with my laptop PC problem.  I think that all the trouble which resulted from a faulty AVG!

    I finally managed to uninstall this program, I started to make progress.

    I finally got back on the internet by following the tips as follows: -.

    Run the SFC system several times. Click Start, click all programs, and then accessories. Right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. Type or copy sfc/scannow then press ENTER. If it finds errors, but cannot fix try a couple of times again. If it still does not work, then restart.

    I tried a few times and nothing happened, so I decided to make one last try and after a reboot, everything was back to normal.  I had the help of Windows and pages of back Support, my office, and all of my favorite settings and I've been on the internet Wi - fi!

    Thank you once again and I hope my information helps in the future.

  • Mail application cannot find the user/Library/Mail folder

    Hello

    Recently my laptop crashed and I had to reinstall first OSX 10.5.8, so I've updated to 10.6.8 and now I have the latest version of El Capitan.

    In the first two versions relocated I could normally restart Mail with my backup files restored (had to reinstall all the good e-mail accounts), but now I want to open the mail application in El Capitan and it won't open, saying that it does not find a user/Library/Mail folder. But it IS a Mail folder and there all the restored items and folders inside.

    I also find the file com.apple.mail.plist in my preferences, I thought that maybe that was the problem, but it seems that it is not.

    Can anyone help please?

    If the folder you want is "user/Library/Mail" then the folder in fact does not exist.  Try instead "~/Library/Mail.

  • Where is the location of iCloud data from the reader in my user library?

    I use an application called Carbon Copy Cloner to clone my Macintosh HD on an external hard drive. I noticed that my iCloud drive is not on the backup to clone, and I want to make sure that these files are included in the clone. I'm guessing that iCloud drive data are stored somewhere in my user library. If so, can someone tell me the exact location in my user library? If this is not the case, how can I ensure that my iCloud drive files are included when I clone my Macintosh HD?

  • LION: Mail backup in the library not user/library

    Hello, fellow members of the Apple community. I'm in a little trouble and I hope you can help me.

    I read articles such as Re: not able to locate the folder Mail and Mail Downloads on the Lion OS X disk

    and I read all sorts of messages elsewhere on what and how to back up, but I have not found a definitive answer to my problem.

    My external drive for Time Machine crapped out and is not repairable. I'm trying to back up to flash or CD before trying to reformat. I'm saving up for a new laptop and the drive (mine is 2008 and Lion is what she can do), but in the meantime I'd like to keep my data.

    One piece that may be relevant to the news before going further: I was a user of cloud in the beginning and I have many goofy w/mail problems because I still have the ghosts of MobileMe. It's a mess, really, but I've been waiting until I go to a new system, because many trips to the local Apple stores did not resolve things, only complicated the more... Then...

    I know that I should find the files I need to back up here:

    Drive hard name/users/my name of user/library/mail

    and

    Name/users/my username/Library/preferences/com.Apple.mail.plist hard drive

    BUT

    Nothing is in those places. The plists are 'previous systems' and appear to be error or similar message.

    I found, and go back, which seems to be the files, but they are in hard disk name/library. This could possibly be good? How will I know?

    And dare I I reformat the hard drive or should I bite the bullet and get a new drive now? I can't afford a w/USB-C, but I could spring for the G-Technology G-DRIVE. I really mobile, but I heard that it does not run hot. I really would assess a guarantee of 3 years and, with USB 3, I think it will be retro-compatible with my old system and be a good solution for a new (which, I hope, I can manage soon).

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    If the/Home/Library/Mail folder is located in the folder/Library /, then move it back where it belongs unless there is already a folder/Home/Library/Mail /. In this case I would be throwing unless you want to import messages from him before throwing.
