How To Unhide the Library Folder in Mac OS X Lion

How To Unhide the Library Folder in Mac OS X Lion

How do you unhide in a Time Machine File?
What are you trying to do?
If in the Time Machine interface you wish to restore something in your Library, type cmd-shift-g, then type ~/Library into the path field and hit Go.
If you are browsing the Time Machine backup using the Finder, I hope you never wanted to use that backup again as you are more than likely going to corrupt it to the point of it not working any longer. If that is the case, you can do the same thing with the Go to Folder command above, just use the full path to where your backup is mounted. The easy way to find the path would be to open another Finder window and navigate to your home folder on the backup. Drag that home folder to an empty Go to Folder path field and it will fill in the full path, then add /Library on the end.

HT1222 How large is the up date for Mountain Lion?

How large is the up date for mountain lion for my mac in mega bites?

Here are the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
You need 8 GB of available hard drive space (plus another 10 GB or so to have empty and available at any time for the OS to operate properly). The installer itself is just over 4 GB (all the numbers are in Gigabytes, not megabytes).
And it is considered an upgrade (you need to pay for it) rather than an update (which would be free).

How to: Exculde the library folder located in the shared user folder.

Ive been told this is a hard concept to grasp. I am sharing my home folder, I want to exclude the "Library" folder from being shared. How do I do this? -Thanks you

In theory, you should be able to select the file in Finder, then use Finder -> File -> Get Info. Then under the "Sharing & Permissions" section, change "everyone" to "No Access".
This would prevent anyone except yourself from accessing your HOME -> Library folder tree. Of course if you mount your home volume using your username and password, then you will be able to access Library.

How to show the Library folder in an external hard drive

Hi there,
I am trying to restore the Skype Chat History to my new computer.
My old hard drive crashed and had to be replaced. Unfortunately my back-up Time Machine file was corrupted due to fact that this is a VERY EASY thing to happen and hence I DO NOT recommend that anyone uses Time Machine through a wirelessly connected hard drive, such as a Time Capsule - a very bad design flaw!
Luckily I am able to access some of the files on the old hard driave that was removed from my laptop. However I can not find a Skype folder or the Application support folder under my user name. Because it is an external drive, I can not use the techniques that have been suggested in other posts (such as using Terminal to permanently show the Library folder or using the Option key).
Can you please help me!?

Open a Finder window and choose the external drive with the user folder in the Finder sidebar. Then, make sure you see your user folder in the Finder window, because you will need it.
Now, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
chflags nohidden
After typing that, press the Space key and drag your user folder from the Finder window to your Terminal window, and after dragging it, now type after the dragged folder (without space):
/Library
In Terminal you should see:
chflags nohidden (yourdraggeduserfolder)/Library
Finally, press the Enter key and the Library folder will show up

How to reinstate the library folder in my user file

I am trying to look up my templates for powerpoint but I can not find the library folder in my user portion.
I can not find it anywhere on my mac.
Did it become invisible?

you can test by showing all hidden files, run the following commands in terminal to show hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
the following commands will hide them again:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder
if you still cannot locate the folder, Id recommend restoring from a TimeMachine backup.
cheers

How to dictate the word comma in Mountain Lion

I have scoured the Internet trying to find out how to get Mountain Lion's Dictation to actually dictate a word that it normally produces as punctuation. For example, how would I have it say the following?
"Insert a comma instead of a period."
In other words, I'm looking for some type of "escape" feature, like the backslash often is in coding.

Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.

I cannot find the minecraft folder on mountain lion.

I've been searching and am having some extreme difficulties attempting to find my minecraft folder (to add mods to the .jar) ever since I updated to Mountain Lion (10.8.3). Whenever I do an overal search for Minecraft all I get is the client and nothing else. I have no problem finding the Library and Application Support files that once homed Minecraft but now it's not showing up. Anyone else having or had these problems? How did you fix them?

Open up Java Preferences and it will offer to download and install Java for you.
Otherwise you can open up a Terminal and type:

You have to reinstall OS X. Open App Store > Purchases, and download and install Mountain Lion, so Recovery HD will be created.
Also, if your Mac is compatible with Internet Recovery, you don't need Recovery HD. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4904

Has anybody figured out how to fix the battery consumption with mountain lion (using a MBP 13")?

I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and yes despite all of the warnings posted in the App Store reviews about the battery life being cut in half, I upgraded my MBP anyway. Chalk this one up to the Black Cloud of "I Told You SO!" My MBP could hold a charge for almost 6.5 hours. Now I'm luck if I can get 3, but in most cases I may get 2.5 hours if I'm conservative.
Has anyone figure out how to fix this battery problem? Even now after having it unplugged for almost 2 hours...I'm getting the "You are now running on reserve battery power" message. What a freaking joke!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Open /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. Click %CPU until the triangle points down beside it. Make sure it says All Processes in the upper right. Check for applications taking up lots of CPU time.

How to change the library location because i don't have enough memory in my internal hard disk

can i change the library location because i don't have enough memory in my internal hard disk

Hi ahmedmagdyelrasheedy,
It is not clear what library you are trying to move, but if you are running out of space on your internal hard drive the most likely culprits are your iTunes music and your iPhoto library. Either of these can be moved to an external hard drive making room on the internal.
For the iPhoto library see this article -
iPhoto: How to move the Library folder to a new location
To move the iTunes music see this article -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
