Editor's note: The list is now up to 19, thanks to a great reader tip.Inside your Home folder is a ( /Library), accessible only to you, that's used to store your personal application-support files and, in some cases, data. The files and folders in /Library are generally meant to be left alone, but if you’ve been using Mac OS X for a while, chances are you’ve delved inside. Perhaps you wanted to tweak something using a tip from Macworld, or elsewhere on the Web. Or maybe a developer asked you to delete a preference file, or grab a log file, while troubleshooting a program. Whatever the case may have been, you simply opened your Home folder to access the Library folder.But if you’ve just, try accessing your personal Library folder that way now.
Go aheadI’ll wait.What’s that? It seems so, doesn’t it?
But rest assured, your personal Library folder is right where it’s always been, at the root level of your Home folder. But in Lion, Apple has made the folder invisible. The reason for this move is presumably that people unfamiliar with the inner workings of Mac OS X often open /Library and start rooting around, moving and deleting files, only to find later that programs don’t work right, application settings are gone, or—worse—data is missing. This is the same reason Apple has always hidden the folders containing OS X’s Unix underpinnings: /bin, /sbin, /usr, and the like.(Why hide /Library but not /Library, the similar folder located at the root level of your drive, which holds systemwide support files?
Most likely because only admin users can modify /Library, and Apple assumes that a user with admin-level privileges will know what he or she is doing. Yes, I realize that’s a questionable assumption, given that the first user account on a Mac is always set up as an admin account. But that's fodder for a different article.)While I understand Apple’s motives here—I’ve had to troubleshoot more than a few Macs on which an inexperienced user had munged the contents of /Library—there are plenty of valid reasons a user might need to access their personal Library folder. Luckily, as I mentioned, the folder is just hidden, using a special file attribute called the hidden flag. You just need to know how to access the folder or, if you prefer, unhide it.
Hey everyone at CLZ, just wanted to say thank you for making ‘Extras’ from the desktop edition a part of the web edition. This is where I was keeping info like if it was signed. I would get a list of books from a bookseller and some of them would be sighned. I knew I already had some of the books but I couldn’t remember if they were signed.
I would have to wait until I was home to see if my book was signed or not. Now I can see this info from anywhere! — Sherri Reid (USA) on Book Collector.
