Why doesn't my library folder show up in my home folder?

I suddenly realized that my library folder does not show up in my home folder. I can find items in the folder if I search for them, and if I navigate upwards I can see the Library folder. But if I do anything else, the folder disappears from my home folder. As an experiment, I duplicated the folder to my deskptop. It appears to have duplicated (I can search for items and the finder located them) but the folder is invisible on the desktop. If, however, I navigate to the Library from within an FontBook it is visible, otherwise not. Any ideas?

That is a result of Lion...
For Lion:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Not a good idea to move system folders !!!!

  • Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items?

    Why doesn't Mail for IOS show sent items with an IMAP server account. Everything else works okay but there is two sent directories and no contant in any of them ...
    Trouble is the same in both iPhone4 and iPad.
    Exactly the same account shows everything on my Macintosh. Including Sent items.

    Using the method described above I see outgoing messages that were sent from Mail on my iMac in the correct mailboxes for 2 different MobileMe accounts.
    You seem to be having and issue where your database/setting are corrupted if your messages are in the wrong outbox. I would suggest deleting the accounts from your iPad and the reconfiguring them.
    While viewing an email at the top of the screen, left of the trash icon, you should se a Folder icon. Click on that to send the message to another folder. Page 59 of the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_2_user_guide.pdf

  • Why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?, why doesn't notes in Mavericks show the notes i had on iCloud in mail in Mountain Lion?

    Ask a fifth time, and maybe the answer will appear.
    Are the notes actually in iCloud?  If you go to iCloud.com and log in, do you see them there?  If so, it's an issue on your computer side.  If not, then the notes don't exist on the server.

    Why doesn't my lost iPhone show up on the 'find me' map?

    Many things can prevent this: the phone is out of battery power, the phone has been wiped out and is no longer connected to your mobile me account, and many more.
    The full list of possible issues according to Apple is here:

  • Why doesn't my iTunes content show in Library? Also, How can I sync music purchased on my iPhone to my PC's iTunes Library?

    I have been having several annoying problems with iTunes for the past several months...
    1) Library content not showing after folder relocation:
    First, in order to free up space on my C drive, I wanted to relocate my iTunes folder to a new 1TB hard drive (F) I installed. I did so according to Apple's instructions online, but despite setting the new location to be my library in my iTunes preferences, the content never shows up in the iTunes Library in the actual application. This is my most annoying problem, so please someone help me to resolve this! Thanks.
    2) Albums purchased on iPhone 5 only sometimes sync with PC
    I have purchased a few albums on my iPhone 5 and only some of them have synced to my PC when I connect my iPhone via USB. They don't even appear under the "Purchases" playlist in the iTunes Store. So, I have content right now on my iPhone that I can only access via my iPhone, and some of the music has gone missing. One or two tracks from albums are not there despite me purchasing full albums at a time... This is also pretty dang annoying and prevents me from trying a solution I'd looked up to fix my third problem...
    3) Album artwork mixed up/mismatched on iPhone 5
    This is pretty self-explanatory. Ony day my album artwork decided to play musical chairs. So now, for example, it shows Andrew W.K.'s bloody face when I listen to Zedd, and shows Skrillex when I listen to Symphony X. I read online that if you desync your content on you iPhone so that none of the music is there any longer, and then resync content from your computer, it will fix this issue. I'm hesitant to apply this solution until I can fix the ones above though, because I don't want to lose content that I have legally paid for.
    My final problem:
    4) Apple charges $20 for a support phone call for iTunes
    Seriously, WTH? I hope the community can help me out. Thanks all!

    1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
    If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
    2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
    3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
    4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

  • HT3819 why doesn't alL the songs show up from the shared library

    I am trying to transfer my itunes ibrary from one pc to another. Home shaing is enabled and the library is showing. However, only 9 of the over 200 songs are showing up in the shared library. Does anyone have any idea why? Thanks for any and all help

    Jack, you should realize that 10.1 is the current version. 10.0.4 is ancient. There is no reason to stay there.
    There are substantial improvements, and significant differences, so not all in the book is up to date. But it does not make sense to start learning and ignore all the improvements.
    The material about editing is still true, for the most part, and you can make up for the differences with a little help here and there.

  • Why doesn't my Sent mail show up in iCloud on my iPhone?

    Why doesn't mail I have sent from a MacBook show u in the Sent folder of my iCloud account on my iPhone ? There isn't anything in the Sent folder on the phone. Aren't they supposed to sync?

    Does your MacBook have "Store sent messages on the server" set in your iCloud account? It should, if you want the iPhone to be able to see messages sent from the MacBook.

  • A message is marked as unread - so why doesn't the Inbox count show it?

    There is a message marked as unread (the little blue ball) in an IMAP account's inbox.
    So why doesn't the Inbox show a (1) next to it to indicate there are unread messages?
    doug

    Thanks for your replies, people.
    I actually just created this IMAP account about a week ago.
    Yesterday I deleted a separate, POP3 account and recreated it as IMAP. At that time everything got re-indexed (at least the activity window was going on forever about rebuilding and reindexing this and that).
    Rebuilding from the Mail menu doesn't help.
    I might try removing and re-adding the IMAP account or the entire re-index later if I find this behavior annoys me too much. Will that lose my replied-to indicators?
    So anyway, what I am seeing is not normal? If you go to a message and mark it "unread" does your Inbox for that account go up by 1?
    Thanks,
    doug

  • Why doesn't the Radio option show up in the Library in iTunes 11?

    Everything else selected in preferences shows up in the Library (Movies, TV Shows, Tones, etc) but not Radio.  What am I missing?
    I also verified that there is no conflict with Parental Controls.
    BTW, I'm not a fan of the new look of iTunes at all.

    Radio is now grouped in with the Music section and appears on the right side of the list at the top.

  • Why doesn't the "sent" folder show shared emails of photos through iphoto? on iphoto?

    Every time that I share photos from iphoto to friends/family through the share button//email option, I end up with no record of it in my email.  Why not?  Where would I see a record of what I have sent out to friends and family?

    When you send from iPhoto you're using iPhoto as an Email client. It's a very basic one of those and has no sent box. Neither does it sync with your other Mail applications, so they have no way of knowing anything was sent. That's why.
    Options: bcc yourself when you send from iPhoto. (There's an option to do that automatically in the Preferences) or use a different app. Mail, for instance, has a Sent box and many, many more templates than iPhoto. (Check out the Stationery feature)

  • Why doesn't Quicktime 7 Pro show in my Applications Folder or in my Dock?

    I installed QuickTime 7 Pro (Leopard) on my iMac and registered it. The program does not appear in my Applications Folder or in my Dock. How do I fix this?

    QuickTime Pro is not a separate application, so you won't find it by searching your system. A Pro key just unlocks the extra features of QuickTime Player and the QuickTime browser plugin. If the Pro labels have gone from the menu items, then your key is correctly registered and you should be good to go.

  • Why doesn't APTS FCP X show up in my Event Library?

    I have had Final Cut Pro X for over a year now and recently decided to really dive into it. I got the book "Final Cut Pro X Second Edition" and want to go over it step-by-step. I followed the instructions loading the tutorial DVD and when I try to launch FCP X, I get an errror that reads "The operation couldn’t be completed. One or more projects or Events were created with a newer version of Final Cut Pro X. These projects and Events will be ignored."
    When I click "OK", FCP opens up, but but APTS FCP X (which contains the tutorial information and files) is not there.
    Can anybody help?
    Thanks in advance.
