I need to open disk utility. My utility folder is not inside my applications folder, nor can I find it anywhere on my computer! How can I get it back? Locate and click on the 'Spotlight' icon on the upper right side of the menu bar. It looks like a white magnifying glass in a blue circle.
Enter 'Utilities' without the single quote marks. When the search is completed, a drop down sheet will appear. Locate the 'Folders' section in the resultant drop down sheet, and look for 'Utilities'. If you see it the 'Utilities' folder' , move the mouse cursor over it 'Utilities' and click once. The selected 'Utilities' window should then open.
You should see such applications as 'Console', 'Disk Utility', etc. Assuming that the above steps worked, you now want to place the 'Utilities' folder back into the 'Applications' folder - of your boot hard disk drive. Press and keep pressed the 'Command' key there is one on each side of the 'spacebar' key as you click on the title 'Utilities' of the window.
A drop down sheet will appear. Typically, 'Applications' would be the second name listed. Regardless of the second items' name drag the mouse down to it, and release the mouse button. A window will appear with 'Utilities' folder listed in it.
Move the resultant window to the left side of your screen. Locate the upper right hard disk drive icon on the 'Desktop', and double click on it.
You should note the 'Applications' folder in the window. Move the window to the right, so as not to over lap with the left side window. Carefully, click on and keep the mouse button pressed and drag the 'Utilities' folder from left side window onto the 'Applications' folder of the right side window, and release the mouse button.
Do not worry if the 'Applications' folder automatically opens - just release the mouse button, when the mouse cursor is over any area of the window - that is not a folder you do not want to accidently move the 'Utilities' into a folder of the 'Applications' folder; but, into the 'Applications' folder itself. If so, apply the steps provided above.
Yes, thank you for your help in that search, there were only 2 utilities folders found, 1 for scripting guide and 1 for X-code. The disk utility doesn't exist. It must have been deleted.
Please, How do I perform what you described? Thank you! Satcomer In Geostationary Orbit. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. I noticed my Utilities folder is in my Applictions folder on my iMac I have made an alias and it rsides next to the Application folder, Library, System, etc on my Hard disk.
Every thing appears to be working. Sould I worry about this? If it's a potential problem How do I move? I don't remember the message, but I believe it can be copied not moved. I am running OSX My Mac Book Pro, running What do you think? Posted on Feb 14, AM. Generally I would avoid messing about too much at the top level of drive because then you really start getting into things with specific permissions in specific locations.
Feb 14, AM. Page content loaded. Thanks very much. I quickly scanned the link you gave me, I'll study it later. Am I correct, trashing preference files will not harm anything , since they will be recreated when the app is opened?
In most cases you can trash preferences for a re-set to default.
