1)Open your Home then open the next folder named Library folder and the Home then open the next folder named Library then open the next folder named Library folder in separate Finder windows.
Help ! please . could some one talk me through step by step .
please !!!
There are folders with the same name but in different locations. The routes described makes sense, just open the folders in the route described and you'll wind up in the correct place.
Let me reword the instructions for you.
Disclaimer: I'm just rewriting the directions you pasted above. I'm not familiar with this area of the OS, so I'm not making any endorsement that this is a good solution. I also may've misinterpreted my rewritten instructions. If this operation is done incorrectly it very easily could erase the data you're trying to recover. So make sure you back up your data before performing these instructions, and it'd be a good idea to have someone knowledgeable review these instructions first to verify they are correct.
----------------------------
reworded instructions
----------------------------
Open 2 separate finder windows. Move one window to occupy the left side of the screen and the other to occupy the right side of the screen. Resize the windows so there is no overlap. When the instruction say to open a folder, do it by double clicking the folder name. (so that only the contents within that folder are now displayed in the window.)
1L) In the Left window: open the folder Home > Library
1R) In the Right window: open the folder Home > Library > Library
2R) In the Right window: select all files in the window (Command-A)
2R to L) Option-drag the selected items in the Right window, and drop them on to the Left window. (while still holding down the option key)
*** make sure to drop the files into the window area and NOT into a folder that's displayed in the list of items. ***
3) When prompted if you want to replace a folder, select Replace.
