Can't see /Users/home/Library in Finder

I can see /Users/home/Library in xterm, but not finder, why?
iMac - Lion

Because it's invisible. To make it permanently visible:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.

  • Manual Migration to Mountain Lion: but can't see the home library folder.

    Hi,
    This is my first post in the Apple support community.
    I'm moving from iMac running Snow Leopard to my MacBook Pro retina running Mountain Lion.
    I only want to move what I really need, and leave all the old software and old files behind.
    I put the MacBook Pro in target disc mode and started moving things through a FireWire 800 cable, connected to a Thunderbolt port through an Apple adapter.
    Until I came to the items in the home library folder to move - and, of course - I couldn't see the home library folder on my retina MacBook Pro.
    The key question is: can I make it visible for the time of the move?
    Should I put the old iMac in target disc mode and handle the move from the retina Macbook Pro side and unhide the library folder using the Command + Shift + G keystroke?
    Or are the days of manual migration over due to the hidden home library folder?
    Applecare support noted I should use the migration assistant, and that I could chose the files I wanted to move.
    Can you really do it in such a detail as during a manual migration?
    Thanks!

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/ as the path.

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

  • After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window.  When I select Media - Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

    After I updated to Yosemite I can't see my Iphoto library in the attachments window.  When I select Media ->Pictures only my Photo Booth Library Comes up

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • Can't see iTunes Music Library in Aperture slideshow tool!

    Hi everybody
    I keep my iTunes Music Library on an external HD. Aperture Library is on a second external HD. Aperture doesn't show my playlists in the slideshow tool, therefore I can't play music to my slides.
    How can I make Aperture show me the playlists?
    I have the same problem with iPhoto.
    Thanks for your help, Rob

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.

  • My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    My iPhone 4s was stolen almost a week ago now.  If I can still see the phone listed in Find My iPhone but appears to be turned off does this mean the theif has not restored it to factory settings???

    Are you sure?  I have other devices at home.  The only way I can make them disappear on the tracking list is by turning off location or resetting to factory settings. 
    I just want to make sure I'm not tracking a phantom that I will never recover :-(

  • How Can I See My Entire Library?

    I created my library from the iTunes store and from my personal CD collection.   I created it on a Windows desktop machine.   Now, when using my Windows laptop, only my purchased tunes show in my library.   How can I see my whole library?

    Migrate your iTunes library from the desktop, or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if that is no longer possible.

    Do you see anything on the TV?
    If you just see your desktop, then your MacBook is defaulting to extended display mode. Try pressing the Command + F1 keys to see if you get the menu bar and other icons.

  • Can't see my Iphoto Library

    Just updated Iphoto. Now I can not see my Iphoto Library.

    Restore from your back up.
    For anythign else you need to explain more:
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Can't see the Home Sharing Icon

    I can't see the home sharing icon on the left hand itunes menu despite having activated the home share in the advanced settings tab. Can anyone help?

    Hey I had the same problem,
    Thanks to you I found it.
    It's not supposed to be there, once you activate it it goes away.
    If you want to see it, go to the advanced tab, click turn it off, then turn it back on, but don't say DONE on the last step or it hides it.
    If you go to other computers or laptops it should probablly be there if that's how you configured it...
    hopefully that helps, (:

  • Help. I downloaded the OS lion. Then I imported some photos with the "iPhoto". But I see only the photos in the "last import" but I can not see in the library or photos of events, although they are marked as a number.

  • Hello, I'm trying to transfer my old itunes library to a new computer using home sharing. It's switched on in both computers, but I can't see the old library in the new computer. But I can see tracks from the new computer on the old one. Please help.

    Apologies for poor syntax, my arm's a little sore. Yes, one computer (old) is vista, new is Windows 8. Shouldn't I be able to import the whole library using home sharing? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you in advance

    I am having the same issue.  I recently purchased a new laptop and I have spent the last 3 days using the home share to slowly transfer all 22,000 songs.  However yesterday morning when I turned on both computers to continue the process I am having the following issue:
    both computers are running the same windows OS (8)
    both computers are running the same version of itunes
    both computers are logged in with the same apple ID
    both computers have home sharing turned on
    Now however I can see the NEW computers itunes library in the drop down box on the OLD computer, however I can not see the OLD computers itunes library on the NEW computer.  I can no longer see "HOME SHARES" on the drop down LIBRARY list on the new computer.  I've taken the following steps to correct the error:
    reset the router
    completely shut down BOTH computers and brought them back up
    reopened itunes
    re-logged in on both PC's
    re-activated both PC's with home share
    The articles and help from the apple sites are worthless and it says if you can't see a library just turn home sharing off then back on - I've completed the above steps NUMEROUS times.  After spending 4 days on transferring my music I really do not want to have to start over by using an external hard drive and then importing that way.  I would like some help on discovering why the new laptop is no longer seeing my old library. (When it has been working up to this point) 
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can not remove users home folders from TM exclude list.

    Hi
    MBP mid 2012 10.9.3.
    Been away from my TM for some time. So adjusted exclusions I have in place for regular backups. For some reason I can not remove the users home folder exclusion. I have reset TM by removing the plist. Everything reset apart from the exclusions. Any Ideas?
    Cheers.
    PJRS

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a file named "com.apple.TimeMachine.plist" selected. Move the file to the Trash.
    Repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    A folder named "ByHost" should open. Inside that folder, there may be a file with a long name beginning "com.apple.TimeMachine." If the file exists, move it to the Trash.
    Restart the computer and test.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How can I see my iTunes library on my iPad

    How do I see my iTunes library on my iPad?
    I am in the same network but cannot find my songs in my library on my home computer.

    settings > iPod > home sharing. when you open the iPod app, there will be an additional entry "library" on the top left of the window (just below the volume slider) from where you can select your Mac's iTunes library.
    note that you can use the videos app to view videos.

  • Can't add users' home folders to Windows Libraries - "unindexed network location" error

    I am unable to add our users' home folders to their Windows Libraries on client PCs.  Windows is giving an unindexed network location error.
    This worked perfectly fine in WHS 2011, but is failing on WSE 2012 R2 Essentials.
    I've checked the indexing settings on the server, and the correct locations are in fact being indexed. 
    Since several of our clients have limited local storage, I can't solve this by turning on Offline Files.
    Is this behavior by design, or am I seeing a bug? 
    I'm guessing that on WHS 2011 the user folders are special-cased somehow, as normally one would need to include the share root in a library for federated indexing to work correctly.  What is it about WHS 2011 that makes this work, and is it possible
    to replicate these settings on our WSE 2012 R2 server?
    Thank you.

    No, our clients are not domain joined.
    To clarify, I'm not trying to redirect local folders, but rather to add the (automatically provisioned) user folder on the server to local libraries.  Federated search does support this scenario in WHS, so I assume it should work in WSE. 
    Trying to understand why I'm seeing the error.  Thanks.
