just bought a new mbp and am trying to get my old wallet.dat(old mbp died) into my new mac's bitcoin file.. but I go lib/app support/ there is no bitcoin folder...


any idea where i can find it so I can replace it with my old wallet back up.

open the terminal application

type in:
find / -name "wallet.dat"

or if you want to get rid of all the permission problems:
sudo find / -name "wallet.dat"

may take a while...

/Users/{yourUserID}/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat

Note: Library *may* be a hidden directory, you might not find it by browsing in the "Finder", but if you choose "Go to Folder" in the "Go" menu in the Finder, you can enter the path to bring up the contents.

You can also just make your Library folder visible too if you want.

I just got a new MBP this weekend too, congrats on the new 'puter!
