Where is the Preferences Folder in Mac OS X 10.9?

Hi,


I'm having some problems learning the new operating system Mac OS X 10.9.1. I'm looking for the Preferences Folder or the Library Folder for a User Account. Can anyone tell me where to fine it, please?


Thank you in advance of your time,

Mel.

In the Go menu you can reveal your user library with the alt key.

You can make it permanently visible by going to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.


Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.


You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
