Refreshing the user library without restarting?

Does anyone know a way to refresh the user library without restarting Labview?  I've searched the forum and LV help, but I'm not seeing that feature...
Thanks,
Chad

    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, Chris

    you 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    They 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.

  • 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.

    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.
    You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • 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 Stars

    Use the following:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    Generally, ~ should be used instead of manually providing the home folder path.

  • When I upload any photos from iphoto or a folder it overwrites all the existing photos. is there a way to add to the existing library without deleting what's already in the library?

    When I upload photos from iphoto or any other folder it overwrites all the existing photos in my ipad. is there a way to add to the existing library without deleting what's already in the library?

    No, apart from using the emailing them, to yourself or using a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (in which case the photos will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album) or the camera connection kit (Imported album). You need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go, as only the contents of the most recent sync remains on the iPad - not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad

  • How to restart the Netweaver Server without restarting the whole OS (Suse)

    We are setting up the SAP Netweaver Java on Suse Linux Trial in VMWare.
    We require to restart the Netweaver Server several times. Is there a possibilty to restart the Netweaver Server without restarting the whole Suse Linux Server Operating System?

    Hello Deniz,
    startsap and stopsap have the folllowing syntax :
    startsap [db|r3|j2ee|all|check] [<instance>]
    you could use startsap/stopsap to start/stop any of the db or r3 or j2ee or any particular instance.
    e.g.
    startup db
    startsap r3
    startsap j2ee (just j2ee part)
    similarly for stopsap
    if you have multiple instance you could use the instance ABC as
    startsap ABC
    If you just want to restart any particular process of j2ee engine, you could use jcmon.
    Hope that helps.

  • 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 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Is there any way for additions made by one user of a shared library to be visible to the other user of the same library, without having to always "add file to library"?  This was the whole reason we consolidated the library into a public folder

    My wife and I share a computer but have separate Windows ID's.  We also each have an iTunes account, using two separate Apple ID's.  We have always struggled with the headache of getting music that one of us added (via purchase, downloading CD, etc.) to the other person's music library.  A friend suggested we consolidate and share the same library.  Sounded like a good idea so we moved the libraries to a public folder, consolidated them, etc.  But now when one of us adds music to the library, the other person still has to do an "add file/folder to library" in order for them to be able to see it.  This is exactly the step we were hoping to eliminate by this consolidation.  Does anyone know if there is a way to make this happen automatically, or will we have to continue to do this every time?
    Also, ended up with a lot of duplicates in the process of consolidating.  Is there any way to identify and "mass delete" these?  It will take a while to go through them all individually as the library is somewhat substantial (approx. 16k songs)
    Hardware is Windows 8, one iPod classic, one iPod Nano (obviously only selected playlists on this one).  All hardware and iTunes running latest software.
    Any information would be appreciated!

    It sounds like you are using two independent libraries with a common media folder, whereas the plan would have been to ensure that both profiles were using the same library library database. Although you can place this within the Public folder I would normally create a shared library at the root of a drive, e.g. at X:\iTunes where X: is the drive that you want to use. See Make a split library portable for information on moving the library around back into a standard shape.
    As for duplicates, Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning
    to backup your library before deduping.
    (If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
    The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

  • Why does iTunes not refresh the Music Library if files are updated?

    What if have already a nice library SYSTEM built for my music, and every time I add 30-50 files to 30-50 different locations, iTunes requires me to add the same song again... What if I am doing this updating for 3 hours and I can't remember anymore which songs I added to my Brazilian compilation folder? Why can't iTunes update the library with added files? I see this question popping up on a lot of forums. This is very cumbersome. I keep my international music collection organized by country of origin. If I let iTunes consolidate my music, it will put everything into one big folder organized by name of artist. I definitely don't want to let the program do that. I would lose all my work and all my system.
    Once I imported the folder system into iTunes though as a reference, it does not recognize if there was a change, music added, music deleted, music reogranized. It doesn't make sense to delete everything from the iTunes Music Library every time I update my music collection.
    Where is the solution? I want iTunes to find the changes and apply it to my Music Library automatically.
    I can live with my iPod only having the files in one big library, since I mostly use it for shuffle play anyway, but I want to keep my originals in an orderly manner based on style, country of origin, etc. I don't want to end up having all my files renamed and moved.
    So I need iTunes to refresh my Music Library by looking at the original folder I imported the list from, and make the necessary changes.

    I guess then this is a serious shortcoming of iTunes... Up till this point I owned an RCA Lyra MP3 player and it had no problems whatsoever doing these things. I guess, after seeing how iTunes and iPod works, I'd rather return to Lyra if it had an 80 G version. The only thing that still keeps me with iPod is the capacity.
    It seems like that iTunes is a very cumbersome program and it tries to be so much user friendly that it even tries to eliminate the human element. Sometimes, it makes sense to keep files organized in specific manner. Especially when there is work involved and productivity.
    I guess I will just delete everything from the play list and read in the main folder every once in a while, leaving the machine working on it during the night or something, then another night, it will refresh my iPod. That's the only solution I see right now.
    It is interesting that a huge program like iTunes cannot do what a small one like Lyra can. And I even read in user groups that some people created programs for this problem, but those programs don't work with iTunes 7 well yet, so I am stuck with the manual updating or the brutal deletion and re-reading.
    Thank you for the answer. At least I know what not to expect from the program. I just use it for only one purpose: load music onto iPod, then forget about it. It quite an unuseful program for me otherwise.
