unless i'm mistaken, that's a mac... removing that space would likely be very hazardous as it is a system folder...

Good point, my point was put scenery in a location that doesn't have a space in a path name. That may no longer be an issue, but I have had it cause issues in the past, with what I don't remember for sure.

Well I have finally been able to load scenery through terrasync and this does work. It does seem odd to me that the Application\ Support folder should give trouble. If that were the case everyone with a OSX and default installation would have the same issue...

Anyhow, I can fly (or at least try to). Thanks for helping me out everyone.

Might we ask what your solution turned out to be for anyone else that might come across this problem?

I don't know that it does. But if it were me, I would rule it out.
