Is the User library gone with the release of Lion?
Is the User library gone with the release of Lion?
Used to have ~/Library and Mac HD/Library.
It's still there, just invisible. You can find it by holding down option and clicking the Go menu in the Finder (a Library item will appear that goes to your user Library folder). Or you can run the following command in the Terminal to turn it visible again:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
The Library folder at the root level of your hard drive should still be there and visible.

Where has the User Library gone in Lion?
The User Library, ~/Library, is no longer viewable in a normal Finder window.
How does one access it now?
There are times when I want access to it to make a copy of my Address Book database, empty the User cache or in transferring data from an old computer to a new one without using the Migration Assistant.
There must be a way other than using Terminal... I hope.Finder>GO hold option key
Additional note, since this doesn't say what should happen... Holding the option key while clicking the Go menu in the Finder causes a Library item to appear. Choose that to open the hidden user Library folder.
chflags nohidden ~/Library/ && killall Finder
There is no need to "killall Finder" to make this work. Simply doing "chflags nohidden ~/Library" is sufficient. -
User/Library Gone After Software Downloaded
Back in May 2012 before I upgraded to Lion, I downloaded this software called ViewOne onto my computer. It is a Java based software to use with Java. Well, apparently it corrupted something on my HD because starting in June 2012 I had no User/Library. The ViewOne software was supposed to be installed in the User/Library folder and was not. Instead it replaced the User/Library folder. Very odd. At least that is what I see occurred through viewing the Time Machine.
I only discovered a problem when I wanted to save my MacJournal files to a CD. The only way I could find the MacJournal files was to go into the preferences for that software and tell it to find the files. When I searched my HD for the User/Library I found it was gone.
Can I restore only the User/Library from Time Machine?
I have saved those MacJournal files onto a CD.
Found the answer.Found the answer to my question.

I took part of the iMac HD replacement program, and when I restored from my last backup my computer did not recover properly. There are broken aliases all over the place: my Dropbox folder, my application folder, the Google drive folder. And I can't seem to find their location and when I do try to fix the aliases, it says that I do not have the proper permission. I have no clue what happened to all of my stuff!
That answers my question, thank you. Time Machine is only one of many possible backup methods.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. You can demote it back to standard status when this step has been completed.
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 icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:20 ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ 2> /dev/null
Be sure to select the whole line by triple-clicking anywhere in it. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2
Boot into Recovery 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 OS X Utilities screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar. A text window opens.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) 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. -
Numbers does not open with the main user after installing mountain lion. It works flawlessly when I use the second account on my mac. What got corrupted in the admin-account, something in the user-library? How can I fix it? I´m kinda desperate... (the same happens with the other iWork-Apps!)
Looking forward to hearing from somebody with a littlemore expertise than me, Chrisyou can remove preferences files by navigating to the Preferences folder for your user as follows:
0) Quit ALL iWork apps (Keynote, Pages and Numbers)
1) from the Finder select the menu item "Go > Go To Folder…". This will bring up a dialog:
2) enter the path "~/Library/Preferences" (no double quotes)
3) find the files:
com.apple.iWork.Keynote.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
and move these to the trash. I would NOT empty until later.
4) restart Numbers -
I want to open a domain.site2 file outside the default folder (User/Library/Application Support/iWeb) with iWeb11, but iWeb only opens the domain file in the default folder. If I delete the default domain file, iWeb wants to create a new site. Does anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it?
In Lion the Finder folder is now invisible. To make it permanetely visible enter the following in the Terminal applicaiton window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an applicaiton.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate

How do I open the User Library on a "Firewire" Mac?
I recently replaced my trusty 2008 MacBook Pro with a new one. Not my choice, the video board or some such has tapped out. The new one is working great but I now have to retrieve some old emails. I can use the old Macbook as a "Firewire" drive using a connector I got at the Apple Store. But, as usual, I cannot get into the User Library on the old machine. I have the old boy backed up to Time Machine but I can't get to the User Library there either. I do not need a complete restore as I actually like the clean install of the newbie, but I do need to find these old emails. I have tried to import the email from TM through Mail but it just freezes up.
Amy suggestions? Can the geniuses at the Apple Store retrieve this stuff?
And by the way, why does Apple feel it necessary to hide the User Library when I can go into the System Folder and Library and gum up the works there? What are they protecting me from. Currently I have used a Terminal command that allows me to see my User Library but it won't work on the Mac that is used as an external drive. Unless someone can tell me a Terminal command that would activate that too.
Thank you.
KBThey are protecting you from yourself who likes to go in and gum up the works.
Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
Pick one of the following methods:
A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN.
B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
~/Library
Press the Go button. -
How can I use a shared library made with the application builder?
Hi,
I am using LabVIEW 7.1 running on Slackware 10.1 (kernel 2.4.29) and I am trying to call a graph display from a C program that I use for debugging VME access from a VMIVME controler. So using the application builder I built the VI as a shared library (graph.vi -> graph.so) containing a function called "graph". In my main program the call to the dlopen fails with the error: "graph.so: undefined symbol: UninitLVClient". When I examin graph.so with nm I see that UninitLVClient and other LabVIEW functions are indeed undefined and using ldd shows that graph.so has dependencies only on libc.so.* and *linux*.so.* but not on LabVIEW related stuff. Those functions are defined in the liblv.so that's in the cintools directory but I have no idea if the user is supposed to use that.
So I think I am missing an important concept here. Can somebody help or direct me to some documentation (I found lots of information about how to link external code to LabVIEW but nothing about how to link LabVIEW code to an external program)?Thanks Watermann,
your message has been very useful so now I am linking to the proper library but I still have problems when trying to load dynamically the shared library produced with LabVIEW. It is strange that I could successfully load the lvrt library at loading time but it does not work when I am loading the library at execution time.
I made a small LabVIEW program that prints a hello window and I am calling it from a C program. In the first program main.c I am linking to the lvrt library at loading time and it works but in the second one I am linking dynamically at execution time and it does not work. For my work I need to be able to load code done in LabVIEW at execution time. Any help is appreciated!
Program main.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include "hello.h" // got this from the LabVIEW builder, i.e. when I made the hello.so
int main(void)
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
hello();
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main.c, i.e. linking shared library lvrt when loading main program:
gcc -Wall -I /usr/local/lv71/cintools/ -o main main.c hello.so -l lvrt
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been defined and exported:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
IT WORKS!
Program main2.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include
int main(void)
void * h_lvrt;
void * h_hello;
void (* hello)(void);
char * error;
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
// open LabVIEW RunTime shared library
// in my computer located at /usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so
h_lvrt = dlopen("/usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
printf("error : could not open LabVIEW RunTime library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// open hello shared library
// in my computer located at /home/darss/lv_call/hello.so
h_hello = dlopen("hello.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not open hello library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// get function hello from library hello.so
hello = dlsym(h_hello, "hello");
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not get the hello function\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// call hello function
hello();
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main2.c, i.e. dynamically linking library lvrt at execution of main2 program:
gcc -Wall -o main2 main2.c -l dl
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH still defined and exported.
IT DOES NOT WORK!
Program output:
Hello from C!
Lets call LabVIEW now
error : could not open hello library
/home/darss/lv_call/hello.so: undefined symbol: WaitLVDLLReady -
How can I access the user library of the other users on my iMac?
I am in the process of changing the HDD on my iMac (Seagate 1 TB - free of charge exchange from Apple). As I have had some problems with my kids' user accounts I want to set it all up as new when I get it back.
Challenge is ofcourse that they have played some games and they want to keep their levels etc, and this is stored in their users' Library. How can I access this from my own account or from a back-up? I have both a Time Machine back-up and a CarbonCopyCloner.Hi Jonie,
See if these help...

I am trying to back up my mail (5.1) directories but I can no longer locate them. They used to be in the user library. Would be grateful for some assistance.
They're stil there; Apple decided to hide your Library folder. Hold the Alt/Option key while selecting Go in a Finder menubar and select Library.
Do you have other backups, made with a proper backup app? If not, that's the best way to back up your data, rather than doing it "piecemeal" via drag & drop.

How can I refer to the PhotoShop Object library dynamically depend on the release of PhotoShop?
Recently, I make a program, now I face a big program:
I make the program by visual basic and photoshop script , but my client have different release of Photoshop, for example : photoshop 7.0 cs and cs2. I know every release of PhotoShop have ist own Object library, but in visual basic 6.0, I can only refer to one PhotoShop Object library. for example: if I refer to Photoshop 8.0 Object library, if my clients release of Photoshop is 7.0. there will be a error message : Run-time error '429 ( cant create object) Run-time error '430(Class does not support Automation or does not support expected interface), How can I refer to the PhotoShop Object library dynamically depend on the release of PhotoShop?

"User" Library in the FontBook is "Off" and I cannot enable it. Help!
Few weeks ago I decided to speed up my new Mac little bit by turning all fonts in the "User" Library "Off". Yesterday I needed some fonts which are in the User library, so I opened FontBook and tried to enable "User" library, but I could not. I cannot enable it anymore. I can click on "Enable "User"", but nothing changes. It remains with the "Off" label, and shows no fonts in it, while in reality there are 50 fonts there (~/Library/Fonts). Any ideas how to enable it again? Please help. Thanks in advance!
Guntis Bukalders:
Unless you have a good reason for having FileVault turned on, I suggest you turn it off. I can cause a lot of grief i get a bit too much on our HDD. It utilizes your HDD space for a sparse image approximately the size of your Users Folder.
Is there a reason why you wanted it turned Font Book off?
I enabling User in the Edit menu doesn't do it try this. Shut down your computer completely. Then try starting up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash, retart computer and log in normally. Open Font Book and try enabling user again.
Good luck.

I have just downloaded the trial After Effects CC. I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on my Macbook Pro.
When I try to launch After Effects, this message appears:
"After Effects warning: Could not create the file '/Users/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/13.0/dummy'"
I have followed the advice from other posts on this issue regarding resetting all of the permissions in the Adobe folder in my library to read and write , but it doesn't change anything. I still get the same message when I try to launch the program. Moreover, there is no After Effects folder in my Adobe folder, even though it's clearly in my Applications folder.
I also uninstalled After Effects and tried to reinstall it, but to no avail.
I sure would like to give it a try, as I was planning on purchasing it, but this is just one more issue in a long irritating line of issues that have arisen since trying to download it from CC.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.
