Prepping computer to migrate from Catalina 10.15.7 to Monterey on new machine. Just noticed there is no Library folder for this user on the Catalina machine. Not sure why this is. This machine had been migrated several years ago from another Mac, could have frogged up then?
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
It does seem to be possible any more in macOS Monterey. An option would be to display all hidden folders (Command + Shift + .) but this would clutter the Desktop and Finder with all the hidden folders (and there are quite a few.)
I chatted with Apple support. It is possible. Place your user (the one with your name in the Users folder) in Favorites in the left sidebar. Select it there. In the View menu (top of screen), select Show View Options. Select the box Show Library Folder. Voilà!
The Library folder is hidden by default. To view its content, open Finder, in then menu click Go, press the option key to see the Library entry in the sub-menu and click it.
In the past there was a way to change the default so that the Library folder is always visible. How does one do that in Monterey?
Excellent tip !!! I just tried and it works like a charm. Thank you for sharing and happy holidays 🍾🎉 !!!
no user Library on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7?
