Re-Enable Your Library Folder In OS X Lion [Video How-To]

While OS X Lion offers many improvements and new features, it also takes some away. One that jumped out to me right away was the missing Library folder. By default, Apple now hides this folder to prevent users from messing up their system. While this might not seem substantial to the average user, more advanced users might not like this change. Fortunately, this change can be reversed, as I’ll show you in this video.

    Couldn’t you just post what you actually do as text so I don’t have to listen to you blabbing about it?  I know what the problem is I want to know what to do!

    To bad your solution didn’t work. Got the message no such file.

    Called Apple, they gave me a very easy solution:
    Open finder
    click on “go”
    push the “ALT”key and the library folder pops up in the favorites bar.

    peace of cake
