Invisible library folder

I upgraded to Mountain Lion and the 'Library' users folder has become invisible. I found it by doing a search for 'Other' file, but how do I turn back to be visible? There are a lot of files in there that I need access to and turning on folders hidden in the Terminal shows too much gray useless icons.

I could create a new folder to the library and spend countless hours to copy all folder by folder and trashing the originals, but I was wondering if there was any other way of any marking the folder "visible"?

Open the Finder Go menu, press the Option key and choose the library. Otherwise, choose home page in the menu reach, display Options in the view menu and choose show.

If you wish, you can instead choose Utilities in the menu go to, open the AppleScript Editor, paste is the following and run the script:

Tell application "Finder" to quit smoking

the shell script ' chflags nohidden ~ / library.

delay 2

Tell application "Finder" to run

  • Time Machine backup not my home library folder

    After having updated my system to El Capitan in Sierra, I decided to clean my external drive for Time Machine in order to launch a new series of backups TM Sierra.

    The problem is that Time Machine now stops back up when it arrives in the library folder in my home folder.

    He used to work flawlessly when I ran El Capitan.

    I then cancel the backup process which stopped at about half of employment (360 GB 201,85 Gb).

    If I dig in the time Machine ""current " file in the folder Backups.backupdb, I find my record library home tagged a red button with a sign less in its lower right corner."

    It seems to be a weird permissions issue here.

    No explanation of what's going on here? Any solution?

    I would like to launch utility disk-> first aid on the disk and partition just to be sure, it is not a file system inconsistency.

    If that doesn't fix it, I would check then the console logs (applications > utilities > console.app) to see if it is reporting the issue during the backup.

    If you still have no joy, I'd start to screw up files from your library folder (do not empty the trash so you can put back them) until I found what was causing the problem. Use menu bar to access the library in the Finder, and type in the library.

  • How can I delete a library folder?

    I moved all my media music on a server, that I then sync with my PC to guard against a drive failure. But iTunes now has the media server and my local copy in the form of folders in the library, and therefore most of the music appears twice. Is there a way to tell iTunes to stop registering the local library folder and look at the media server?

    The PC is a feature of Windows 7, I am running iTunes 12.3.1.23. Hacks registry, if any, welcome!

It only allows to choice very limited and inflexible to download folders. There always will be an update for this or is - this simple impossible?

  • Music library folder loses its display column settings

    Hello!

    It's strange and I thought about my question, in case anyone else has seen this behavior and maybe give me the solution.

    Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit SP1.

    Windows Explorer.

    I opened on the left of the Navigation pane.

    I'm going under libraries, where I have my music library and click on it.

    On the right, I have configured a Details view, with the columns set to display:

    Name, contributing artists, length.

    By right-clicking an empty space on the right and choosing Properties-> Customize. I have:

    Optimize this folder for:

    Music

    And also checked the: this model also apply to all subfolders.

    Now the problem is the following:

    Everything seems useful as I'd like. But then, after a few closed and the openings of Windows Explorer, the columns of this music library folder are lost.

    And it shows the value by default, or maybe some old personal settings of these columns:

    Name, the artist of the Album.

    Thus, artists to contribute and the length are gone.

    Do you know what is causing this weird behavior? I want to maintain my initial columns:

    Name, contributing artists, length.

    Or, for that matter, whatever the columns, I chose.

    SEE YOU SOON!

  • Invisible - Missing FOLDER - C:\Documents and Settings (not will appear in Explorer) in Windows 7

    Re: Invisible - missing FOLDER - C:\Documents and Settings (not will appear in Explorer) in Windows 7

    Hi all

    I have a stable working version of Windows 7 Pro.  (Yes sfc/scannow and chkdsk are 100%)  BUT here's my question and the problem...

    Recently, all of a sudden - my file C:\Documents and settings folder (and of course all of the many folders and files it contains) is no longer present in the computer of Windows / Explorer.

    Yes - I removed the skin system files in folder options (I'm relatively warned these basic commands) and all my other system hidden files appear perfectly.

    Moreover, I KNOW that this directory and the files are still there on the drive, and Yes, they are immediately, when I use the command line (back of the old black box window) in administrator mode.

    Once again all the folders and files in C:\documents and settings are always there (using the cd and dir/p orders) when you use the editor command line (cmd).

    I even tried to change the parameters of security using Icacls and delivered successfully as Administrators security settings: F and system: F but nothing appears in the Explorer.

    I also tried to change the command attrib to this directory with my very basic command-line skills.

    The computer still works fine - as many of you probably know the C:\documents and settings folder is really an older and former OS directory now used for programs inherited, replaced by C:\Users... etc.

    But why have - so MS put in the OS. There are of course good reasons so - I want show back again.

    I tried a system restore but I only got one and it can also have been corrupted since it took me a day or two to notice.

    In summary, when a directory and files 'all of a sudden disappear completely' use widely and all days 'window of windows Explorer normal 7' you know that something is badly broken in the operating system.

    BTW - Yes all Windows 7 updates made and successful... (no easy feat)

    Any ideas out there your technical assistants.

    Thanks in advance

    They do, but I do not really recommend yet.  But I at least trust him more than any 3rd party.  It is not a download if it is an online as part of the Windows Live Safety Scanner scanner.

    And as I went to look for a link, it seems that safety.live.com now re - headed the new scanner, which is a download :)
    I don't think that this news has a record cleaning component.  But as I said, is never necessary.  The invalid entries in the registry do slow down your startup time, or cause any problem, unless of course, you get an error message because another program tried to use an entry invalid.  But automated scanners are much too aggressive.  He thinks that an entry is not used, doesn't mean some program, somewhere, some time want.

  • The lost user library folder

    I am trying to rebuild my system on a second internal hard drive.  I often need items from my current user library but am not able to access while in the new system.  As a work around, I tried to copy the former library of the user towards a third hard drive.  But when I try to access it on the third hard drive it is still hidden.  The third hard drive has no system software other than the user library that I copied here.  Is it possible to access?

    There is Adware on a 2009 27 "iMac still under OSX 10.9.5 (for the 3rd party compatibility for example Adobe CS6 software suite).

    I followed the threads re. removal (thanks Linc Davis) and the problem does not come back.
