Where are the files?

On macs where are the ootp files on our computers? It's driving me crazy and I usually can find stuff like this relatively easily. not in application support or in documents

Library something or other? I emailed my bud Kev24Fan to respond to this if no other MAC users respond soon.

File locations for all OS

Open Library folder, next open Application Support, next open Out of the Park Developments, then OOTP Baseball 14 then you will see all the folders.

Apple keeps changing it every year and can't make their minds up . We keep Tring to out then in the logical spot or least the same spot each year but apple just wants it their way which is changing each year so we have to comply each year to get the game to pass their standards it sucks. I can tell you we tried but end the end its up to them.

To clarify this, you need to look in the User's Library folder, NOT the main Library folder of the computer

The file path looks like this:

"Computer Name" --> "Hard Drive" --> Users --> "Your User Name" --> Library --> Application Support --> Out of the Park Developments --> OOTP Baseball 14

A post from my beta thread about mac and ootp




As has been stated, the patch process is so slow with the app store compared to getting it directly from OOTP that it really makes more sense to just get it from OOTP. It's not that much harder to install, you just have to open the installer and drag an icon to a folder and you're done. Granted, the app store does that for you, but that's not a hard step.Apple has had changing policies in terms of where approved apps have to have their files located. This is fairly well documented on the OOTP forums, as OOTP has gone back and forth on this over the past four versions.OOTP11: Installed the game and stores data in your user account's Documents folder.OOTP12: Installed the game and stores data in the hidden Library/Application Support folder.OOTP13: Installed the game and stores data in your user account's Documents folder.OOTP14: Installs the game and stores data in the hidden Library/Application Support folder.The easiest way to find the Library folder is to click the Go menu while holding down the Alt/Option key in Finder. Finder is like a Mac combination of the Windows desktop and Windows Explorer. Once you've found the OOTP saved_games folder, everything works just like on a PC, you put the league folder in there, add an accounts file to the settings folder if you need to, install your add-ons and all that. The only difference is the location of the folder, and that Apple doesn't give you a choice on it.Since I've never purchased from the Apple store, the only thing I can guess is that with OOTP13, it put the files in Library/Application Support even though the installer from OOTP Developments didn't do that. The real issue is that your GM's just need to be educated on where to find the data. If they can play OOTP, there's no issue accessing the right folders and installing an online league file there. They may just need to go to a different place then they're expecting.The important thing to remember is that the app store doesn't control your ability to access folders like the Library/Application Support folder. Just because the file locations are different with different versions of OOTP, doesn't mean that they don't function the same way. Hopefully, this helps.
