Serious trouble inserting image in MacTex

So I was using the online editor Writelatex and inserting images there is pretty straightforward. However, it's quite slow so I began to use MacTex.

I'm using the \usepackage{graphicx} but I guess the nucleus of my problem is that I don't know how to create the folderpath on mac. My two images are on my desktop. Here is what I've tried:

\graphicspath{{/Users/david villarreal/Desktop}}

and when I have to insert the two images I say

\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{B.png}
\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{A.png}

Can somebody tell me what it is I'm doing wrong?

When I ask the program to tell me what error I have it highlights the following:

enter image description here Thanks.

Try adding a / after Desktop – eider Oct 11 '14 at 17:46

You don't actually mention what the problem is or which error and warning messages (if any) you get. Please consider posting a full [MWE](I've just been asked to write a minimal example. What's that?) rather than just some code snippets. – Mico Oct 11 '14 at 17:47
I've added the exact section MacTex highlights for me when there's an error. – DLV Oct 11 '14 at 17:50
Problem solved. I have to eliminate the space between my user name. thanks. – DLV Oct 11 '14 at 17:52
Welcome to TeX.SX! You can have a look at our starter guide to familiarize yourself further with our format. – Martin Schröder Oct 11 '14 at 18:00

Also note that the red squiggly lines aren't LaTeX errors—your editor thinks that they're spelling mistakes :) – Sean Allred Oct 12 '14 at 02:09
