Thanks to Rich and Jean I "think" we have found the problem. When I went to
execute the Terminal commands suggested by Rich I couldn't find the
/VCTTools folder in Finder to drag it to the Terminal window.
I can get to /VCTTools because I had a shortcut to it in the LHS panel of
Finder where you save links to often-used folders. I have been clicking
that link to get to /VCTTools. When I do, the path shown is
/Volumes/Macintosh HD - Data/VCTTools
which Jean noticed. If I paste the above path into the Terminal commands
suggested by Rich I get
Neills-MacBook-Pro:~ neillsmith$ ls -laeO /Volumes/Macintosh HD -
Data/VCTTools
ls: -: No such file or directory
ls: /Volumes/Macintosh: No such file or directory
ls: Data/VCTTools: No such file or directory
ls: HD: No such file or directory
Neills-MacBook-Pro:~ neillsmith$
If I click "back" when at the/VCTTools folder via my saved Finder link, I
end up at
Macintosh HD without /Volumes as part of the path.
I see folders
Applications, System, Users
I see a lot of grayed-out entries including
Volumes
If I double-click Volumes, I see two folders
Mackintosh HD (has different icon, might not be a folder)
Mackintosh - Data
If I double-click Mackintosh - HD, I see the folder VCTToolds.
So VCTTools is not where thought it was.
So how and where do I move VCTTools?
Thanks,
Neill
