how do i get to my user library? it is not in finder in mountain lion.

For one-time access, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Library/ as the path, or press the Option key with the Go menu open and choose Library.

For lasting access, open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run:

do shell script "chflags nohidden ~/Library/"

Hold down the Option key and select the Go menu in Finder. You'll then see and be able to select the entry for the Library. If you want to keep it permanently accessible, you can drag the Library folder into the Finder sidebar, or there's a terminal command you can search for that will set it to be visible.

Regards.

Option key is the Alt key.

For the Go menu, click on the Finder icon in your dock, then look in your top menu bar next to the , it will say Finder, File, Edit, View, then Go.

1. The Go menu is at the very top of the computer's screen when the Finder is in the front.

2. The ~ is a reference to your account's home folder.

3. Copy and paste the entire line into the AppleScript Editor window and press the Run button.
