We are having issues with Skype. Skype advised us to go into ~/Library/Application Support/Skype and make a change to a file.

We went there, but no Skype folder. Asked them again and were told to go to "Places/Library/Application Support/Skype.... We do not have a "Places"...

I think that I read somewhere that Lion has hidden these files.... How do we find them..... ?????

Thank you.

Here is a screen shot of our Finder...

Your Library folders are hidden by default in Lion. To get to your /Library or /Users/yourusername/Library (also known as the ~/Library) folders in Lion:
  • Launch Finder and click Go > Go to Folder and type: /Library or ~/Library
  • Hold the Option key while clicking the Go menu item, which reveals your ~/Library folder in the menu.
  • Make it permanently visible by entering the following command in Terminal, then press the Enter key:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library​
