user template folder moved to trash how to put back in sytem library

Steve,

you wrote

Just put the comand in terminal:Is -I ~/desktop/library and got No such file or directory

That should have been a Capital D as in Desktop and probably a Capital L in Library

Also from terminal run

ls -ld /System/Library/U* (that is a capital U followed by an asterisk)

I'm just be extra cautious here I'd hate for you to copy somehting where it doesn;t belong.

Copy and paste the results of those here.

only the user template folder. its in trash, moved it to the desktop then back to trash. it had a little red circle on the folder.

If you mean the User Template folder that resides in /System/Library/, then the commands should be:

sudo chmod -R root:admin ~/Desktop/"User Template"

sudo mv ~/Desktop/"User Template" /System/Library/

Right click on the folder on the desktop, (put it back on the desktop if it is in the trash) and select Copy, then navigate to the correct destination and select Paste. Reboot, confirm whether it worked and (if it did) delete the copy on the desktop.

Admin rights WILL be needed for this, have your password ready.

Well you are definitely missing User Template from the Library folder. Before copying back what is in the Desktop I'd sure like to se what's there.

So how about

ls -ld ~/Desktop/U*

what does that show?

And if it shows the User Template folder do a

ls -l ~/Desktop/User\ Template

Ok lets give this puppy a try 😉

From the Terminal:

sudo mv ~/Desktop/"User Template" /System/Library

You can triple click the above line to select it and to copy and paste it into a terminal window and then run it.

That should do it.
