How can I see the folder "Library"?

What do I press to see the folder "Library"

There are multiple options since Apple decided to hide the local Library folder.
Select the Finder's Go menu. Now press the option key and the Library menu entry will appear. Use your pointing device to then select the Library menu entry and you land inside the Library folder in your login directory.
On the same menu without pressing the option key, you can select Go To Folder... or simply press shift+command+G. In the pop-up dialog, you can type ( the following character is a tilde) ~/Library and then choose Go. This too will land you in the Library folder.
There is a way to unhide the login directory Library folder until the next operating system update hides it again. This step requires using the Terminal application. The following command is non-destructive to either your nerves or OS X.
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Here's what you do.
Triple-click on the above command to select it.
Press command+C to copy it to the clipboard
Change your keyboard focus to the Finder by clicking on your desktop.
Press shift+command+U to open the Utilities folder.
Double-click the Terminal application - a window will appear
Change your keyboard focus by clicking anywhere within the Terminal window
Press command+V to paste the above command into the Terminal window
Press return to unhide your login directory Library folder
Quit the Terminal application and close the Utility folder.
Open a Finder window and confirm that the Library folder is visible

  • How can I "see" the folder structure behind the iPhoto-library?

    Within iPhoto (iLife 8) I can right click on a picture and, through Show File, find it in its respective subfolder. BUT, when I go to finder and highlight the iPhoto library in Pictures, I only get information about the total library (size, location etc,) but not its underlying folder and subfolder structure(as was customary in iPhoto6). What changes in settings do I need to make to show the folder-structure?
    Thanks in advance

    What changes in settings do I need to make to show the folder-structure?
    None, you can't do it.
    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. You can look inside there simply by right-clicking on the iPhoto Library and going 'Show Package Contents'.
    However, It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. There are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Regards

  • I used Time Machine to recover my Pictures folder. This created a folder called Pictures (original) but I cannot open it.  There is a do not enter roadsign, red disk and white bar on it.  How can I see the contents?

    I used Time Machine to recover my Pictures folder. This created a folder called Pictures (original) but I cannot open it.  There is a do not enter roadsign, red disk and white bar on it.  How can I see the contents?

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

    Photos in iPhoto album are only a hash-marked outline the image only shows when scrolling how can I see the image and open the photo?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I locate the file /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.cer to reset my master password? Thanks!

    How can I locate the file /Library/Keychains/FileVaultMaster.cer to reset my master password? Thanks!

    The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

  • On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture.  How can I access the Aperture Library  on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup?  I can only access the application but not the library..

    Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
    If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
    If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

  • How can I see the relationship of tables in Microsoft SQL Server?

    How can I see the relationships of the tables? Exactly like what we see in Access. In Access if we select Database tool and then relationships, we can see how the tables are linked to each other. How can I find this option in SQL Server Management Studio?

    Thanks,
    I could verify what you explained here. how can I overcome this message and resolve it when my database owner is not there:
    Message while starting with database diagrams of a attached/restored database
    If you have just attached/restored a database from another SQL Server instance. While accessing its database diagrams folder, you may get the following message
    It is an informational message and would prevent you from working on database diagrams. The message says that your database has no valid owner currently. Reason for this error is that database owner on a previous SQL Server instance does not exist here.
    To overcome this error just add the valid database owner through T-SQL or SSMS. Also verify the compatibility level of your database is correct for your SQL Server instance.
    I appreciate your help.

    Hi Siva,
    Reporting statistics data is only written to the database table if BW statistics have been manually activated for the corresponding InfoProvider first. If this has not been done, it is therefore not possible to display any reporting statistics in transaction ST03.
    Therefore activate the reporting statistics for all relevant InfoProviders. To do this, set the OLAP flag in the BW Administrator Workbench (transaction RSA1) in the area Tools ® BW Statistics for InfoProvider.

  • How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    Caching server is backed by an sqlite database.  If you want to see what you currently have downloaded, you can glean some information by accessing the database.  Use this command to connect to the database:
    sudo sqlite3 /Library/Server/Caching/Data/AssetInfo.db
    Once connected, you can use .tables to see the tables in the database but the one with the most information appears to be ZASSET.  Use:
       select * from ZASSET;
    To list the current contents.  You will get a series of records similar to the following:
    26|1|5|0|868991341|402440412.42114|402507221.969799|ffaf18a45cd5dd5e853233629036 5767|30B9108D-ABE4-4061-A2E0-42E91301249B|Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:34 GMT|/content/downloads/14/11/091-9722/ognnjd4fno85m4pbapjtnv23b7rf1mkufx/OSXUpd Combo10.8.5.pkg|
    Note that the final value is a human recognizable name of the package.  However, you may also see items like this:

    This is an iOS application.  There is no real way that I know of yet to match the package name (mzps6227198657217312566.D2.pd.ipa) to a product name.

    A ref cursor doesn't really contain rows but you can use them to reference a SQL statement that fetches the rows.

    Apple will not provide that information unless order to do so by a court order.  Your only option at this point is to return it to the intermediary and get your money back.  They should not have sold you a locked device.  Then don't buy another device without confirming that it isn't locked, as explained under "how do I check for activation lock before buying a used device" in this article: Find My iPhone Activation Lock.
