macusers Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I have Lion installed and everything seem to work fine except my user's Library Folder was hidden, of course I can run a Hide and Show command to get to it but i wonder if anyone had this issue and how you get it to work properly. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noam AA Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 you can google for this you know it seems like apple decided to be annoying, they made the Library folder hidden by default with Lion, they Also decided to remove your Lion partition from the finder sidebar, of course you can drag it there easily, but they just decided to be annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smartie77 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 The Library now contains stuff that Apple thinks no user should see. For example the data that lets Lion know how you left your open apps ( "resume" feature ) . But also "sandboxing" profiles ( "containers " ) and other. Obviously Apple seems to think that this is to "geeky" or "techy" for OSX users .. here is a look inside the "Application State" folder. For every app I ever opened, Lion can read the window-position, the documents that were loaded in every app and so on : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macusers Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 Well, after dig around a little I found this Terminal Command to unhide that Library folder in side the Users. Here you go for whom may need it : chflags nohidden /Users/<Username>/Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
