This forum is completely legit, and while I'm not arguing or judging one way or another, what you describe sounds eerily akin to downloading commercial software, then replacing some kind of registration file or support file with a hacked version to bypass registration or to artificially extend a trial period.

If this doesn't pertain to you at all, then I apologize in advance -- I'm simply stating the rules for a new forum member so they don't have unrealistic expectations of the kind of help they can receive here. Don't shoot the messenger -- just saying that this forum doesn't discuss non-legitimate things At any rate, to answer your question, it seems that you are performing the correct procedure, but if the file is not "replacing" the other file, then there is one and only one answer to that: the files do not have identical names.

If you wish to replace a file with another file, an extremely simple way of doing so is to highlight the file you want to replace and press enter Then, perform the same procedure on the file you want to use to REPLACE the original file, and paste the copied name as the file's new name. Then, drag the file to where it's supposed to be and you will be prompted to replace the existing file. If you are not prompted with this dialog, then the names of the files do not exactly match.

Copy a file or folder locally In the Terminal app on your Mac, use the cp command to make a copy of a file. See the cp command man page. Copy a file or folder remotely In the Terminal app on your Mac, use the scp command to copy a file or folder to or from a remote computer.

Turn on your Mac and continue to press and hold the power button until you see the startup options window. Click the gear icon labeled Options, then click Continue. If you're asked to select a user you know the password for, select the user, click Next, then enter their administrator password. After installation is complete, your Mac might restart to a setup assistant. If you're selling, trading in, or giving away your Mac , press Command-Q to quit the assistant without completing setup.

And it seemed that I had replaced some files in the folder. Is it possible to undo the file replace and recover overwritten files on Mac? If yes, how can I do it? Normally, you'll only lose the replaced files. And yes, the chance to retrieve overwritten files is still null. If you are an early bird who creates a backup of important files on your Mac computer, and when you find you replaced or overwrote an important file or folder on Mac, your best choice is to recover overwritten files from Time Machine backup.

Once again: the precondition of restoring replaced files from Time Machine backup is that you've created a backup of those files in advance.

It's easy! You can simply find the containing folder of overwritten files from the backup by using Time Machine:. Step 1. Step 2.
