Hi, do you mean the tmp folder?
Mac OS X: Cannot print, use Classic, start file sharing, burn discs, or update software if /tmp missing...
Thank you for the reply
I have a mac book with 10.5.8 i did something stupid and now not able to move, copy any file in my system, even the spotlight is missing.
After going through few post, i got to know that this can be rectify by creating tmp in macintosh HD but unfortunately I am not geting option to creat a new folder in that.
please help me...
And you Repaired Permissins in Disk tility?
What did you do step by step to try to recreate tmp?
For anyone who still cares about this, I just did the same, and fixed it.
/tmp is actually a symbolic link to private/tmp
The solution was to boot into single user mode, and recreate the symlink:
cd /
ln -s private/tmp /tmp
And set correct permissions:
chmod -R 1777 private/tmp
Thanks, it helped me.
