Q: Hidden Library Folder in Target Disc Mode?
I know that this question has been asked before but after searching I haven't been able to come up with a successful solution to my problem.
I have an unbootable MBP (Maverics) which I have managed to get into Target Disc Mode so that I can transfer files over to my MBA. I have managed to get most files (iTunes, iPhoto, etc) but there are a few files in my "hidden" library folder on the MBP that I can't seem to access. I have tried the command through Terminal (chflags nohidden ~/Library/) which didn't make any difference. I am able to see two folders named "Library" (User-Mac HD-Library OR User-Mac HD-System-Library) but they seem to be a generic folders that don't contain any of the files that I am looking for. I know the files are there because before the MBP became unbootable I was able to (Open Finder - GO - option key - reveal Library - access files) there were many more files in there than there is available in the Library folders that I am able to open. Any suggestions as to how I can find the files that I am looking for? Thank you in advance...

Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the AppleScript Editor, paste the text below exactly as it's written into it, and run the script:
tell application "Finder" to quit
do shell script "chflags nohidden " & quoted form of POSIX path of (choose folder with invisibles)
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
