Mail complaining Mail folder missing in the User Library
Has anyone encountered this issue? I ran a recent update for Mountain Lion and after the update Mail could no longer find the Mail folder in the User Library even when the folder is still there and coughs up the Mail folder missing error message. I've tried rebuilding permisions even replacing the Mail Folder to no avail. can anybody help?
Bee,
Thanks for the reply. Bee, I am aware that the user library is hidden. That isn't the issue I'm afraid.
What is happening is that when I launch Mail, it coughs up an error message saing that it cannot find the Mail folder in the ~/user/library. The weird part is that the folder does exist but Mail just doesn't see it.

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.

Where did the User Library folder go?
I installed OSX 10.7 yesterday and was quite excited to do so, and by day two I am regretting it. whether it is the uslessness of launchpad, to all of the old things i find missing. One thing i just noticed was that i cant find is the User Library folder. The system Library folder is there but not the user. am i missing something? oh and getting rid of front row? why? i watched trailers there all the time!...sorry sorry...off topic. grr
Lion 5 out of 10 StarsUse the following:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
Generally, ~ should be used instead of manually providing the home folder path.

Where is the user library folder
Where did Apple put the users' "Library" folders in Lion?! If they no longer exist, where should I go to find the user's "Application Support" folder (which I always used to find in the user's "Library"). Am I missing something? Am I blind? I never used to have this trouble. I need to change the default file for a program and that file resides in the "Application Support" folder within the user's "Library" folder (at least, it always used to reside there!)
I can't seem to find anything about this in the help files that come with my computer.To Find Library folder
In Finder...
Press and hold Option key
Click Go on the menu bar
Choose Library -
Is there any API to obtain the current Folder ID where the user is located??
how can obtain the current folder id where the user is?
tks in advanceFolder Id is one of the attributes you can pass to a custom item
type procedure. In the custom item type, go to the Procedures
tab. At the bottom of the page, under "Pass Attributes as
Parameters" select Folder Id from the list. Under "Pass As" you
have to provide the name of the parameter in your custom
procedure.
For example, here is a procedure that displays a list of
subfolders for a given folder:
<pre>
create or replace procedure SCOTT.DISPLAY_SUBFOLDERS AS
p_folderid IN VARCHAR2,
p_siteid IN VARCHAR2)
as
begin
for c in
(select '<a href="PORTAL30.wwv_main.main?p_cornerid=' || f.id
|| '&p_siteid=' || f.caid || ">'
|| f.display_name || '</a>' theURL
from portal30.wwsbr_all_folders f, portal30.wwv_user_corners c
where c.id = f.id
and c.parentid = p_folderid
and f.caid = p_siteid ) loop
htp.p(c.theURL || '<br>');
end loop;
exception
when others then
null;
end;
</pre>
This procedure takes both the folder id and the site id as
parameters.

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. -
Access the user/library from a Time Capsule File
Ich habe vergessen die Mail-Library und das Adressbuch zu sichern, bevor ich den alten Computer entsorgte. Die Dateien sind aber noch im Time Capsule vorhanden. Wie kann ich die Benutzer-Library hervorholen, unter OSX Lion ist sie versteckt und ist nur mit <alt> Gehe zu sichtbar.
I forgot to save the User/library ie the addressbook and the mailfiles of my old LapTop. Now I got the Bakupfiles from Time Capsule but the Lybrary is hidden in OSX Lion! How can I manage this problem?
Thanks for hints.

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 -
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. -
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. -
Accessing the Users Library in Time Machine?
To access the User Library in ML you hold down the options key and click the Go menu.
I want to access my Snow Leopard User Library stored on my Time Machine.
How do I do it?When I opened TM there was no Users Library.
However, by opening the Finder I was able to navigate to the HD with TM on it and open the TM folder structure just like any other folder.
I never realised you could access the contents of TM without actually opening it. -

Mail shows no folder location in the All Mail list
This is a Classic View for Mail - All Mail
You see to the right the Mailbox column. It shows All Mail instead of showing the folder location of the mails
How can I make Mail to show folder location ?All Mail isn't a Mail mailbox. It is a Gmail Label/folder/mailbox. It has nothing to do with Mail.
You haven't seemed to comprehend what we have been telling you and what is stated in the multitude of links we have provided.
If you want an "All Mail" folder in Mail, Create a Smart Mailbox which has the criteria:
Date Received is after <some date well before all of your email>
Check the boxes to include Sent and Trash if that is what you want to include.
Ok, now hold on because you brain is about to explode.
A Smart Mailbox does not move any emails. It does a search of all your messages and lists the ones that meet the criteria you set. Again, NONE of the email is MOVED or COPIED. -
Yahoo mail remebers my password but not the user name. I've checked the remember box.
I've checked the remember box but Firefox is remembering the password but is not remembering the user name when I sign in to my email account. I'm not having sign in trouble with IE nor am I having trouble signing in on my laptop with either Firefox or IE, so the problem would seem to be with this computer.
* Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
