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.

    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).

  • Where is the Library folder on HD

    I no longer can access the Library folder. It used to be on my HD. When I create a folder and try to name it as Library folder it says that the name already exist. So... its like invisible.
    Please help... this is bizarre.
    thanks.

    I found the solution on Google. For some strange reason my Library folder that is outside the user, became invisible. I found a program xRay, which finds it and makes the folder visible again. The program is only $1.99. The Apple support team suggested reinstall the operating system and reinstall all my software.
    Well after debating for an hour or two I have chosen the the solution #1, the xRay.

  • Where is the library folder????

    Not sure why this is so difficult to locate, but I've spent 10 minutes trying already...
    Thanks for any help.

    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.  Also works with Mavericks and Yosemite.
    For  Mavericks and Yosemite  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring up this window:

  • 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.

  • Where is the Services folder in Library in Lion?

    I used Terminal to make my Library folder appear, but there's no Services folder inside. I'm pretty sure there used to be one.

    Dan, there are two Library folders, one visible to all users, the other visible to the logged-in user, that is the one you do not normally see in Lion, must press Option/Alt Key.
    You may have Services folder in both, as you may have other folders with identical name inside the Library folder. The difference is that one makes things visible to all users, the other to the logged-in user only, the difference being important if there are more users with the same computer.

    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.

  • Where is the mail folder use/library in MacOS X 10.7.5 in a Mac Air?

    I would like to know how to find the folder wher the mail application is storing the mails in the MacOS X 10.7.5
    I know is somewhere in mail/ library, but I am unable to find it. Perhaps is hiden and I don't know how to locate it.
    Thank you very much.

    Actually it's in youruser/Library/Mail. The user's Library folder is hidden by default in 10.7 and later, but if you go to Finder, hold down the Option key, and select the Go menu, the Library folder will be shown in the dropdown list and you can open it from there.
    Regards.

  • Upgraded to Lion - where are the Library & Application Support folders ?

    Where are the Library & Application Support folders that were available in Leopard 10.5.8 ?

    They're in the same location as before, but you need to use a method such as choosing Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and providing ~/Library/Application Support/ as the path.

  • What happened to the Library folder?

    I did an upgrade to Lion this past weekend. Everything seems to work fine except the Library folder is not present. I clicked on two files from an email message and they showed up in the Mail Downloads folder, but I cannot navigate to that folder. All I have  as folders under "My Name" are: Desktop, Documents, Downloads, hob [?], Movies, Music,  Pictures. Public, Sites. Nothing else. Can someone enlighten me on where the Library folder might be?
    Thanks!

    Finder>GO  hold the option key
    You can change back to visible
