3 Libraries

[MM07]

I am trying to figure out how to get my 1.3 upgrade of Growl to work.

Under my Mac HD I noticed that I have 3 Library Folders. Is this normal?

I have one under Mac HD, one under System, Library, and one under (my name), library.

Please advise an TIA.

Mac OS X and certain applications purposely use multiple levels of libraries.

* Files under yourdisk/Library can be shared by my multiple users, e.g., yourdisk/Library/Fonts for fonts everyone can access.

* Files under yourdisk/System/Library are used by the operating system itself, e.g., yourdisk/System/Library/Fonts for the critical Mac OS X fonts. You shouldn't mess with files in there.

* Files under yourdisk/Users/yourname/Library are your personal files, available only to you, e.g., yourdisk/Users/yourname/Library/fonts for fonts just for you.

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned that I had some "extra" stuff on my MacBook.
