Apple Mac Pro I can't find folders to store information.

You will have to describe this in more detail. "Can't find folders"? What folders are you looking for? Maybe you need to create your own personal folders to stick whatever it is in there.

Can't comment without more details.

You would need to use their account to see their home folder

Assume you use mac OS X

/Users/personal_acct/

would then have

Documents

......

Video

all inside the user's home folder, and only there

Would be hidden or blocked w/o their account logiin credentials.

Depending on what application as to where the default Save location will be.

Does not tell me/us where or what the problem is or what you see when you look at the

Disk drive ("Macintosh HD" or whatever)

Or if you open to User (forget what the command key is)

There will be on the Dock your home folder, Applications, Utilities, System Preferences and others

you can't write or save to a folder or location to which you don't have permission or ownership

Thanks. I have always been able to select a new folder under file. It comes up Untitled Folder and then I name it whatever and place relevant owrk in it. I regard them as manilla folders and keep them in what I would call relevant drawers. They are under File on my Mac Book.

Yes, you create new untitled folders in the finder and save or stick stuff into them. So I still don't understand your problem.

Ok. Now I see. Of course I don't know why it wouldn't be in the finder's File menu on that machine.

Try creating a new account and see if the Finder behaves normally in that new account.

Also try booting in safe mode to see if that shakes things up a bit (clears a few caches and suppresses third party additions).

And then there's the "ever popular" com.apple.finder.plist in the Preferences which you might try removing.

It might depend on where you are as to what is in File menu.

I never use menu, I just use command keys for New Folder.

I was also thinking of how in SAVE or SAVE AS dialogue box when you are ready to save a file and want to create a new folder - all from within the application. Not in Finder.

Hard looking over someone's shoulder from 2500 miles distance too <g> !

I've been assuming all through this that he's in the context of the Finder (i.e., it is the current active app).

I never use the menu either but it's easier to specify that sometimes to posters.

I couldn't understand the problem either which is why I kept asking for more details. Finally he said "New Folder" was missing in the finder. Hence my more specific reply for that context.

A quick way to be sure you are in the Finder is to click on a blank part of the Desktop (not on a file). Or use the Finder icon at the head of the Dock.
