Where is my library folder after Lion install?

I lost my library folder under user after intalling the Lion...
What happened?
Actullay I experienced several times before,
First sign is I got a messege my backup was not working due to volume insuffcient volume.
and I realized Suddenly my used volume of hard drive was increased up to near 1 TB from 600G.
I've checked and found the mail folder under library had 300G file due to some reason...
I removed it, and backup was working.
At this time I experienced same thing, but this time I cannot find my library folder or mail folder,
and mail was frequently down.
What should I do?
At least I retrieve my library folder....

It's hidden, in Mac OS X 10.7 see this link, http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/

  • Where is the library folder in Lion?

    where is the library folder in Lion?

    I recommend all frustrated users to make LIBRARY permanently visible by following Tom Reed's instruction, namely, going into Terminal and typing the following command: chflags nohidden ~/Library   Otherwise, next time you need to access Library, if you are like me you will have forgotten the "Option-Go" trick
    You´ll ask next: "but how do I access Terminal?"  If you search for "Terminal" in the Finder, it shows up.  Make sure the Search is of "This Mac"  and not "All my Files".  Once you see it, click on it and the terminal window opens up. The background inside the window is white and not black as sometimes pictured.

  • IPhoto 8.1.2 Double Library File After Lion Install

    Hi, After Lion install I'v got a double iPhoto Library File in iPhoto 8.1.2 whil I have only one library.
    Is this normal ? Is there a way to get rid of one of the two files or to combine them ? On other Macs only one file shows up.
    See screenshots.
    In the Finder only one iPhoto Library appear in the images file.
    This is the content of the IPhoto Library package :

    That's an issue with the Dock. I would trash the Dock caches. I would post on the Using Mac OS X forum for more on that.

  • Where is my Library folder in Lion?

    When I open a finder window, and click on a user, I cannot find my Library folder.
    Any help would be appreciated,

    Once you've opened that Library folder, if you want to have it available in the Finder window Sidebar, note the small representation of a folder that sits just in front of the word Library in the title area of the window. Drag that small icon into the Favorites area of the Sidebar, and it should then be available anytime.

    My situation may be different from yours since all mu music is ripped from cd's not bought from iTunes, but I would think the premise is the same.
    Doesn't matter what is in your library.
    When I moved computers I literally dragged and dropped the music where I wanted it to be. THen when I opened iTunes I imported the files back into iTUnes
    This creates a new library with all the same items but you lose a lot of info: Ratings, comments, date added, custom EQ, playlists, etc.
    If you simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder, it is the exact same library, not a new library. No info is lost.

  • Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install.  What to do?

    Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install.  Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
    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.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
    Step 2
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
    This time, 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.
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
    Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
    You can then quit Terminal.

  • Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

    Have an original iPhone 3G. Can you still sync iTunes (10.6) and Contacts after Lion install?

    An older iTunes will not open the library once used by a newer version.
    iTunes 10.6.3 will work with iOS6 as long as the hardware doesn't post-date the release of 10.7  Use iTunes 10.6.3 on both machines.

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • Tie Machine  no longer backs up after lion install

    After Lion install, Time Machine no longer backs up-will start to back up but freezes after a few kb's-spinning clock will spin 24/7 but backup is stalled

  • Time Machine not working after Lion install

    After Lion install at first Time Machine would not back up-then it did, but backed up the entire HD-now Time Machine will no longer function in trying to retrieve any data from Mail or anything else

    After consulting with maker of back up drive (LaCie) I opted to format the drive. Lost some stuff but nothing critical. I then backed up and now all appears to be working, i.e drive is backing up and Time Machine is now functioning.

  • No sound in garageband after Lion install.

    No sound in garageband after Lion install, can anybody help please?

    12 hours ago my midi played through Garageband with no problems. Today it does not play. The Garageband window shows that the keys are being played.
    In the moments following I turned on iTunes and all was fine so I burned a disc in my usual factory installed burner, late 2008 iMac, and the message was "no disc burner found". I turned iTunes on and off and same message. Ran Disc Utility and no flags. I am using the Disc Utility that is on my desktop. Is there a hidden Lion disc utility? Nothing worked unless there is a hidden function.
    I was able to burn using Toast. This would indicate that the problems is with iTunes 10, OS 10.7.1

    Users are not qualified to use the library anyway.
    When it's following the Windblows lead, there should also be an option to revert this, to be able to switch the hidden files back to visible. Haven't been able to find that option yet.
    Furthermore, I despise your remark about users not being qualified. When I buy something I have all rights using any and all part of it. Whether that's a sensible choice for each and every user is a whole other question, but to treat all users as one dumb-*** group is not good (IMHO).

  • I can't find iSync after lion install

    I can't find iSync after lion install. I try too sync with my N8 Nokia. The program iSync dont appear in program mapp.

    It's Apple's software not yours and as shown by it's exclusion on the OS X Lion pages is not part of the new OS. Upgrading to Lion is optional.
    It's a trivial matter to copy it back from your Snow Leopard backup, but using it under Lion is not supported at all and WILL stop working sooner or later.
    Why would it be sensible for Apple to include software in their new OS that they know will stop working?

  • Office not starting after Lion install - PowerPC issues?

    I have an Intel MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 duo)
    It was running OK on Snow Leopard.
    I had Office (do not remember exactly which version, but recent).
    After Lion installing, I cannot open any more any of the Office applications.
    This is the message I get
    You can't open the application Microsoft Excel because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    What is worse is that not even the Microsoft Autoupdater opens up as well.
    I never used a powerpc chip. I am surprised to read in the System Information that this is the setup for Excel

    As the last line (above) states, you are using Office 2004, and that will not run on Lion, upgrade to Office 2011 or Open Office or Neo Office or Libre Office.
