Mac Os X Unhide Library Folder On Mac

I am getting 'permission denied'. I am the administrator so I don't understand why I am getting this.

You might have to sudo. On my Snow Leopard, I see that the directory is root:admin, so you shouldn't need to sudo, but you might as well try it anyway.

sudo did the trick. Thanks.

Alternatively, after opening the library folder, using the Go menu, you can drag the folder's icon in the title bar to the Dock, Tool Bar, and/or the Side Bar.

Let me rephrase for clarity:
After opening '~/Library' using the 'Go..' menu, you can drag the proxy icon (the icon in the titlebar) to the sidebar, etc.

Freeware for that - allows you to temporarily (or permanently) hide / unhide files and folders. Basically, a GUI for those who don't want to mess with terminal.

Mac Unhide File

That utility is for globally turning off and on the behaviour of hiding files. I don't have Lion yet, but I imagine by showing hidden files globally that way, you'd be able to Get Info on a file and turn off its individual visibility.

All you need to do, on a per use basis, is hold down the OPTION key while selecting GO from the FILE MENU; Library automagically appears in the list.

To save Snow Leopard users time: this doesn't work in Snow Leopard.

There are a few ways to transfer your iTunes library from one computer to another: When you get a new Mac, use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant, if you’re switching from Windows) to move files—including your iTunes files—from your old computer to the new one.

I tried it and got this result: dyld: shared cached file was build against a different libSystem.dylib, ignoring cache

This is a simple but important hint. Thank you.

What would be a good way to check visibility of a folder, so visibility can be toggled?

UnhideMac
This works for toggling visibility of the user library folder. Is there a better way?

how do i install Quartz Composer? i can't find it in installer.

Works great, thanks for the hint. I did run into one hiccup though. I think this was just a random isolated instance but just in case anyone else gets weird behavior, repair your permissions. I changed the permissions of my Library folder and my downloads folder would appear empty (it wasn't empty before) and random files ranging from resource folders to language files and pretty much anything else you can think of was constantly appearing and disappearing.
I performed this hint on a fresh install of lion and it worked perfectly.
End result: Hint works as described, if you run into weird behavior just repair your permissions and try again.

A pure AppleScript way to toggle user library folder visibility:

Thanks! I've been looking for this folder for weeks.

Once that’s done, click Ok.Let’s go ahead and close out iTunes, because we no longer need this app open.Now insert a USB flash drive or an external hard drive into USB port on your computer system, that has a large enough capacity to handle all the music files that you want to copy and transfer over to your new computer.After that we need to copy our music files from the iTunes folder. It doesn’t touch or disturb existing files. In the following window make sure to put mark on Consolidate files. What this going to do is locate all the music files that you have on your computer and make a copy of them to place them into iTunes library for you. So go ahead and click on File - Library - Organize Library. Copying itunes library from windows to mac os.

It's worth mentioning that installing the system update from 10.7.2 to 10.7.3 resets the user Library to be hidden again, so you'll need to run this command after any system update.
