  • Adobe Pref folder is gone in Mac !

    Posted by Kazumi Hatori on November 30, 2010 at 11:06 am

    I’m using iMac, 10.6 and cs5,
    AE tried to crash and stayed crash, so what I did would be deleting the preference folder at
    \library\Preferences\Adobe\

    So I did a few times, and again this morning, and….it’s gone!
    no Adobe folder!
    What happened?

    Though, I can still trash the pref while opening AE with CMD+OPT+Shift

    Adobe preferences are not in /Library/Preferences — they are in ~/Library/Preferences. In other words, they are located within your user’s home folder (not directly off the root).
