Preferences (.plist) files are still in the ~/Library folder, where they always have been.
In Mountain Lion, Apple chose to make the User>Library file more difficult, but not impossible, to access. Protecting us from ourselves, I presume.
With Finder as foreground app, click/hold on the “Go” item in the top Menu bar. Hold down the “Option” key.
You will see the Library folder revealed, just below the “Home” folder in the list.
Once open, the~/ Library folder icon can be dragged into Finder window sidebar for quick access. -
“KFTB 15.6,” (a branding name- “Fort Bend County”, not real FCC call letters) is a sub-channel of KVVV, a low power station which is running SEVEN sub channels, so the available data rates to each are by necessity extremely limited. Don’t expect even fair quality Standard Def. over the air.

Scott mentioned he tried that approach but had glare issues. Wonder if there’s an 85-ish clingy film, like e-film or auto glass darkening film. I did use some gel to correct on set rear-screen projection with some success. Took a few tries with different combinations of colors and densities to get an acceptable look, though.

I’ve had frequent instances of this problem. Ideally, the solution is an RGB color corrector inline with the video feed to the monitor. Unfortunately, as you say, this is not available to you. You correctly note that no available monitor tweaks (“warm” color temp settings, or, on some monitors, being able to change Blue and Red gains) are able to do the job even close to being satisfactory.
If you are feeding graphics made in a character generator and/or Photoshop, you can apply a bit of orange/red mask overlay to all of them, determined mostly by trial and error. Of course this won’t help with moving footage. The other method, if you have enough switcher available, is to do a very transparent matte key, again, of orange/red color, on a spare M/E or keyer, and feed that via an AUX bus to your monitor. You have to use a combination of scope and your eyes to determine correct values of color, saturation and transparency of the mask. If you have multiple monitors, it will be true that the settings for one will not result in correct color on the others, especially if the set monitors are from different manufacturers or are different models or ages.
There is a very nice tutorial on how to do this- Monitor Pre-Correction Methods -from Xintekvideo, a manufacturer of color correctors made for this purpose. -

Try this.
go to ~/Library/Receipts folder
look for “MacOSXUpdateCombo10.x.x.pkg” or whatever corresponds to last update you downloaded.
move it out of that folder, close the folder.
Try running the combo installer again.
If that doesn’t help, then put the file you moved back into the Receipts folder.
Disk Warrior deals with corrupt directory issues. There could be some other issue with your drive that might warrant full backup, wipe, and restore. -
