Library Missing From Home Folder

[Pndrgnsvc]

I no longer have a Users/myname/Library within Lion, but it is present in my Snow Leopard volume.

How do I get it back?😕

Open Terminal and type: chflags nohidden /Users/<Username>/Library

Replace <Username> with your username.

-- There's lots of threads on this 🙂

I must be doing something wrong, I keep getting "no such file or directory."

In Finder click on the Go menu and then press the Alt key, you'll see Library appearing as an option in the drop down.

That worked just as you said, many thanks.

But is there a way to add it so that it is always visible when in List or Columns view?

And just curious, is that normal and why did Apple do such a thing?

copy and paste the following into a terminal window, then drag it to the left pane to have it in there

chflags nohidden ~/Library/

Just type this into Terminal:

chflags nohidden ~/Library/

and then press enter.

The library folder should automatically reappear.

And I suppose Apple did this to prevent users from deleting important files from it.

That worked exactly as designed. Bravo!

And all is again, right with the world. Well, thank's to you kind souls.😀
