Are you sure in the using of 'library/application support'? There is of the matter is that one is designed for the app data not for the user data. Maybe you should save such files in a directory relative to the bundle or in the bundle itself (not good idea). In this case you can launch your app from your drive.
If your app is in /Users/user/yourapp, your files in /Users/user/yourapp/Application Support, it looks: NSString *appSupport = [[[[NSBundle mainBundle] bundlePath] stringByDeletingLastPathComponent] stringByAppendingPathComponent: @"Appication Support"]; 2010/9/29 Amy Heavey <a...@willowtreecrafts.co.uk> > > I'm writing an app for personal use, using core data. > > At the moment it's set up to save the data file in the library/application > support/myapp folder on the machine.
