I tried the Terminal solution (chflags nohidden ~/Library) both on my MacBook Pro and on my MacBook AIr, but nothing happens! I open Terminal, enter the command (after the username$), press enter ... and nothing happens, I just get a new line with username$ ... Am I missing something???


Holding down Option key with the Go menu of course works, but I want to make to permanently unhide the user Library

Without resorting to Terminal commands, and the accompanying possibility that the next time you log out or restart that the Library disappears, try this:

Command-Shift-G

In the resulting window type:

~/library

and click the Go button (or press return/enter)

The Library folder will open:

The bar at the very top of the Library window has a small folder icon:

User uploaded file


There. No messing with Terminal, and the Sidebar or Dock icons will remain in place unless dragged out of the Dock, or right-clicked or Control-clicked in the Sidebar to produce a pop up menu which has a removal option.:

I hope this helps.

Interesting thread. I have spent frustrating hours trying to add a new suite of sounds to my Stylus RMX. This thread revealed that the key folder i.e. Library was hidden.


Whilst I do not understand terms like 'Cold Key' I found that by clicking on MacDrive/Users/<My Name> and then from the top menu in Finder - Go - Go To and then typing in Library the full path became visible.


For any other frustrated Stylus RMX users out there, put your new RMX sound packs into

Hi there,


this action doesn't work for me. I keep getting the same answer from Terminal:


chflags: ∼/Library/: No such file or directory


But it's there, I know cause I can access to it, but I can't get to see it permanently in my "username" folder. It's like I don't have permission to show it. Here's how it appears (grayed):

Can anybody help me with that ?
