Why are people making such a big deal over something that can easily be accessed by holding down the OPTION key. Sheesh, I thought this place was comprised of many talented computer users. It's really not that serious.
That won't survive a reboot either.
The permanent fix is in this post by leventozler. (copied below)
Aren't you thinking of showing/hiding the library folder? I thought people here were complaining about the user home folder being invisible, which I've come across before and needs a terminal command to fix.

Mine did
Well yes, what I was referring to does open up the Library folder. But when you look down on the Path Bar you can easily access the Users folder. Understandable that it's hidden but it's not inaccessible without a terminal command.
UPDATE: I was also able to drag my Home Folder from the Path Bar to the Finder side bar.
Yes, but I think people were referring to a bug where your home folder becomes invisible. It's still visible in the sidebar (and maybe in the path bar), but it's invisible when you command-up-arrow from wherever to the actual "Users" folder in the Finder, where it should show. That bug needs a more involved fix. The terminal command I quoted works for me, and over reboots as well.

Where is that in settings? - I was just at gmail.com online in settings, and I don't see it under any of the tabs.
I am probably just missing it, so any help is appreciated
And here Today another example why cloud computing as against local apps is not a finite science yet:
Adobe has apologised for a system failure that knocked its Creative Cloud service offline for users around the world.
Creative Cloud is the firm's subscription model for businesses or individuals using its Photoshop, Premiere Pro and similar products.
With the system down for around 24 hours, many businesses were unable to carry out some work.
The company has not offered any form of compensation for those affected.
In a blog post, it said: "We will do better."
Users who had already downloaded the software and were using it offline were not affected.
Nope - Apple added Exchange support first for iOS, then for MacOS, apparently when you weren't looking.
It most definitely does do push.
Well I don't know if we're on the same page here. Okay so what I did (as mentioned in my earlier post) is dragged my Home Folder to the Finder side bar. I've been able to access it even using Command Up/Down. I just rebooted my iMac (which now boots faster after this update
) and my Home Folder is still accessible. What exactly is the problem people are having?
Well, I'm in the 'hanging on to my 17" until death' camp. The last time I ran Geekbench, I got 11,123 on my 2.3GHz Sandy Bridge, and I ran that test in 2012. New MacBooks barely edge that out, since the processor upgrades are all about power-savings and battery life, not raw power. There hasn't been a processor release since Sandy Bridge that was as much about horsepower as SB was/is.
Also, I've purchased many retina MBPs and used them as daily drivers, but even that hi-res display doesn't compare with the color reproduction of the 17" IPS matte panel. If releases an antiglare rMBP, I'll be all over it (once it's in an open-box store, of course). For now though, a SATA3 SSD, 16GB of RAM, and a BD drive + the raw horsepower of Sandy Bridge just make upgrading non-essential.
Also, the speakers on the 2011 17" are better than any other MBP speakers released to date.

Hey Henry maybe we're at cross purposes here. Sorry if that's the case. I got the impression that some people are seeing the bug that I've come across before where your user home folder becomes invisible (i.e., your user home folder entitled with your name or whatever name you give it). It gets invisible in the "Users" folder, not in the sidebar or the pathbar). I had that bug once - I went to look for it and couldn't see it. The terminal command:
chflags 0 "/Users/YOUR_USER-NAME-HERE"
.. fixed it for me.

On a more serious note, Safari seems ........ doesn't it ?
Is there a way to check which build the OS X installer on MAS is, without downloading it?
The actual build available does not always correlate to the version number on the MAS info page. I would like to make a USB installer with 10.9.3, but would prefer not to download the >5GB installer just to see if it's still 10.9.2.

I'm updated both Mac's smoothly, but why does Apple keep bundling/un-bundling Safari all the time ?
Similarly, I also think Apple actually WANT'S you to your Location Services, because after every update its turned on and i always turn it back off.
Same with Bluetooth on iOS. It's god Apple wants you to use these things, but don't they respect the user to a degree ?

I'm asking something else...
The info on the App Store page does not necessarily mean the build you get when you download the installer is current. The info page is usually updated before the installer actually gets updated.
I'm asking, if there's a way to check the actual build number without downloading the installer.
It definitely doesn't do push for me! I have the mail.app configured to check for messages "Automatically". I have an Exchange Server provided by my Office 365 Developer account.
OSX Mavericks mail.app receives mail when it decides to check and can be up to a 30 seconds to a minute after my iPad and Android devices get the push notification. Sometimes it can seem to happen at the same time but not very often.
Apple hasn't licensed and implemented ActiveSync that I'm aware of. I just read that Microsoft won't license it to anything but mobile devices so it's really not Apples fault, but that could be misinformation. Without it you can't do push unless you use IMAP.
FWIW: Outlook 2011 for Mac doesn't do push either.

Calm down? Did I sound frantic? No. So YOU calm down.
Page after page people are making deal over something small.
If I am recalling correctly (not a given), some previous MAS versions have showed a build number on the MAS?
At any rate, for this version, I have downloaded the full installer, made the USB stick, and fresh-installed it onto a spare drive. It is build 13D65.

I downloaded the installer, and its info.plist has the build number 13D46. Strange.
Well, I'll make the USB installer, most likely it's actually 13D65.
Thanks
Edit: Duh, 13D46 is the build of the OS this package was built in...
