Hold down the Alt (Option) key when using the Go menu. The user Library folder is listed below the current user's home directory.

Note: After you open the Library folder, you can drag the Library icon from the top of that window to the Dock, sidebar, or toolbar to make it readily accessible.

One of the many perks of upgrading to OS X 10.9 Mavericks is that it’s now much easier to make your user Library folder visible. Since Lion, Apple began hiding users’ Library folders. Being in IT it's natural to be concerned with the state of our network and the devices on them, but also the proverbial 'weakest link in the chain' -the end-user's account and access. With the release of Mac OS X Lion way back in 2011, Apple removed easy access to the user’s Library folder. Although arguably well-intentioned, this change was frustrating for longtime Mac power.

Over time, not only does it slow down the performance of your web browser but also of your whole Mac. Thus, experts suggest that clearing system caches and browser cookies can help improve browser and Mac performance significantly.All of this sounds quite straightforward, but in reality, it requires caution. Mac user cache files. As a result, some system apps can start behaving unexpectedly. When trying to manually delete cache and other log files that aren’t required by the Mac, many users inadvertently delete system files that are needed by other applications. In such a scenario you either need to uninstall and reinstall those apps or reformat your Mac.

A simple thing I did was to unhide the Library folder and then drag it into my Sidebar. Even if an update hides it again, it's just one click away.

Or make an alias of the '~/Library' folder called '~/Library .'

I thought this was a big deal until I actually got Lion and found that option-clicking on the 'Go' Menu item it was there in the list. that's easy enough for me.

This should be the hint.

Podcast #128: We chat with Kent C Dodds about why he loves React and discuss what life was like in the dark days before Git. Mac Mar 03, 2017  I tried to import GPU Tensorflow; it failed to find the CUDA libraries. I checked the process.env environment variable and found that LDLIBRARYPATH and DYLDLIBRARYPATH had not been added. After further digging, I found that the shell-env package doesn't import them because it just calls the env command, which doesn't include them in its output for some reason.

I simply can't imagine that a person needs to access that folder often enough to justify un-hiding it. You can easily access the Library when you need it by holding 'option' and choosing Library from the Finder's Go menu.

As a software developer, I definitely need immediate access to this folder, preferable in the way I have always had access to it, by simply double-clicking the folder.

Mac Os Mojave Show Library

This is interesting. I made my Library folder visible when I first installed Lion, and it has stayed that way through every update. I can't remember what method I used though.

Here's a launchd plist that will do the same thing, but without the need for AppleScript, login items, etc. Just drop it in /Library/LaunchDaemons and set the permissions properly.

Mac Os Mojave Unhide User Library In Windows 7

Using the Option-Go menu is fine for the occasional use, but that doesn't work in File dialogs. VERY irritating that they reset this flag for updates or even feel the need to hide it in the first place.

Mac Os Mojave Show Library Folder

All I do is run the command: $chflags nohidden ~/Library/ There is no need for //usr/bin/ (as mentioned in the previous hint) Then, browse to the folder in the Finder, drag it over into the sidebar, then do the command again. Only this time making it hidden: $chflags hidden ~/Library/ Then, it won't be visible in my ~ folder anymore, but it will still be perfectly accessible from the sidebar.
