After today's updates, user/library has gone hidden as a system folder...huh?

After today's updates, user/library folder has gone hidden as a system folder...is that normal? Tried repairing permissions, but still is hidden. Should I worry? thx!

If you can't cope with the Option+Go method or need the Library during more complex operations, you can enter the following command into Terminal:
chflags nohidden ~/Library

Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates

Xfce shortcuts defined in keyboard settings doesn't work at all, even the default ones like alt+f2. They were still working in the morning, but they stopped after today's updates. I think it has something to do with kbd package, but I can't honestly say.
Anyone experiencing something similar?

Most probably you need to logof, go into the console and wipe anything related to xfce on your home folder and start xfce again. Its a pain to get everything as you want again but at least you avoid problems like the one you have now.
You may also see a problem with the icons, just pull tango-icon-theme and all will be well.

IMac looks like this after todays Yosemite Update

My iMac now looks like this after todays Yosemite Update. Is this iOS or Hardware issues ?

Well I managed to get the Snow Leopard disk out and restarted the mac using OS X Recovery. I've selected the option to reinstall OS X. I'm at a screen that is asking me to 'Select the disk where you want to install OS X'. I'm presented two options one labeled 'EFI' and the other 'Recovery HD'. I chose the later but it's been sitting on a spinning beach ball for 30 minutes now so I can't select 'Install' to proceed. Any idea what has happened to my mac? A hard drive failure I assume or something else?

HT1751 itunes library has gone

itunes library has gone after I added another iphone and backup it up onto the same computer even though through a different apple id and password, how do I get my old library back onto the orginal account. It just now appears to be the same liabary for both phones. Very confusing! Help

This is a terrible thing to happen
It happened to me last year, unfortuneatly I was unable to restore my library to what it was. I ended up using 3rd party software to move songs from the iPod back to iTunes. It worked but not all songs play. Using it also voids a warranty, so I don't recommend doing it in this manner. I think it best that you start from scratch and download all of the music back into iTunes.
I'm at a similar situation now, because all the songs do NOT play, I have restored my iPod back to Factory settings and attempting to empty my library and start over. A lengthy process, but I'll have the satisfaction of a fully working library again.
emac, but have a macbook pro as well Mac OS X (10.3.9)

My itunes library has gone following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date - can I transfer from the iPod to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I snyc?

My itunes library has gone and is empty following a laptop rebuild. I do have my iPod which is up to date with music, photos, apps etc - can I transfer from the iPod Touch to the library or will the iPod lose all its data if I sync to the laptop? PLEASE HELP!

I'm guessing you've got iPod touch 2nd generation
iPod touch 2nd generation only goes up to 4.2.1, so you'll need a newer generation...
iPod touch 3rd generation only goes up to 5.1.1
4th and 5th generation both go up to iOS 6.1.3, wich is the current latest version.
Hope this helps

After an automatic update my files are gone. How do I get them back?

after an automatic update my files are gone. How do I get them back?
Working on a Mac Book Pro OS 10.7.3
Missing files: pictures, photos, documents (written files)
All in the map documents; aliases on the desktop
The desktop was rebuild too, not the same anymore and all aliases gone.

I suspect you didn't back up your data before the update - that would have been your first insurance. At the least, you could have saved your most important documents. I realize you probably don't want to hear that, but it's a good way to avoid problems.
It would be great to get a few answers:
1. What did you update? Was it a software update, a firmware update, or something else?
2. Do you use external drives? Or is it just the HD on your MBP?
3. Why did you "rebuild" the desktop?
Provide as much detail as you can.

After an upgrade my itunes library is gone, there's more? how do I retrieve it?

Restore your iTunes Library from your time machine backup you made just before you did the upgrade.

Do you know the name of any of the files you are looking for? Do you have a Time Machine backup? Can you search (using spotlight) for any of these files?
Any chance they were in the trash when you started the update? Any chance they were on an external drive which is NOT plugged in at this time?

Since the latest apple update, voice navigation has gone away. Tried the Airplane mode fix, which worked, but now my bluetooth won't work in my vehicle. What's up?

Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply. Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself. I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues.
This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative. This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved. I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question.
BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.} No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you.
So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.

Pygame error after today's update

Solarwolf, a pygame game is not working after today's update.
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted
I have no idea what is causing the error. I tried reinstalling pygame and the sdl libraries. But that did not help.

The self test of pygame
python -m pygame.tests.__main__
fails with several errors.
Also, I am not able to run some of the examples that come with pygame: a data/ folder seems to be missing in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pygame/examples/ .

My current project in the events library has gone into list mode. ie a single clip on the left, one above another, so showing only about 7 clips. how can I get it back into normal horizontal mode

My current project in the Events Library has gone into list mode. ie a single clip on the left one above another, so showing only about 7 clips. How can I get it back into normal horizontal mode?

That's about what it's supposed to look.
How do You want it to look ?
a. You can change places by using this
b. May be You changed this top right symbol of an hard disk ?
c. or changed the number of frames to be viewed ?
d. OR - it can (at least for me) be so that You think of how it looks in iPhoto. (To me a very common mistake)

All of my itunes library has gone. My Music/video files are still there.

Can I put all of the tracks/videos on with the play count/playlists still there?
Hi,
I have just turned on my computer, then itunes.
What I found was nothing. I store all my files on an external hard drive and wasn't connected when I first loaded it up.
I have tried loading up itunes with the hard drive and even my playlists and videos have gone.
How can I reload all the tracks without manually putting all my music, videos, photos and podcasts?
Thanks

I had the same problem today, after spending DAYS updating the dates, genres, album art, and so on for over 13,000 songs. I noticed that the iTunes folder contained a bunch of files named Temp File 1.tmp, Temp File 2.tmp, etc. I renamed the iTunes Library.itl file to not_iTunes Library.itl, and then renamed the latest temp file of any size (i.e., 4 Mb rather than 4 Kb) to iTunes Library.itl. Then I launched iTunes. iTunes recreated the XML file, and everything I'd done up to the time the temp file was created was still there. The temp file had been created at the end of the day yesterday, so I didn't lose anything.

Anyone else having trouble w/ airport after today's update?

Got a message that there was an Airport update today so I downloaded it (unfortunately, I didn't write down what version it was and don't know how to see what I've recently installed). Suddenly an otherwise robust internet connection is plagued with dropouts and slow connections. I get bursts of normal activity followed by bouts of 2-3 minute pauses/timeouts. Airport strength has gone from a consistent "4 bars" to sometimes 3 and the router is only 6 inches away. This has not been a problem until just tonight and I only downloaded and installed the update 4 hours ago so I'm laying the blame diectly at the update's doorstep. I have cycled the power to both the router and modem as well as restarting the Macbook. No luck. Can I somehow rollback the update? Anyone experiencing this issue?

I think the problem is the Airport Uitlity version 5.21. I installed 5.21 on my Windows XP computer. After installing, I got a nice WiFi connection, but I could not obtain a DHCP lease. If I plugged in with a CAT5 connection, I did get a DHCP lease.
I un-installed 5.21, re-installed 5.0 from the CD that came with the Aiport Extreme Base Station, then upgraded to 5.1 from the Apple web site. After that, getting a DHCP lease over WiFi worked again.
I have not tried installing the Airport Utility on my Macbook, since ther are already so many WiFi headaches with the Macbook, I didn't want to add another thing to the mix.
