Thanks. Just what I needed to find my Library folders after changing to Mountain Lion.

I get the following error when I try this:
chflags: /Users/…/Library: Permission denied

While most of the points you made are true, I simply hate borders. Drop shadows are more than enough to isolate the windows from each other.

Neither of these worked for me. I opened the terminal added the code. Nothing happened. I then tried the alt option and still nothing.

I am operating on 10.7
intel core i5

Thanks

Even easier. Really!
Hold down the option key then > Go menu and the Home Library is there!

(Let go of the option key and the Library disappears. Press the option key again and it appears. Magic!)

But unnecessary! Come on Apple! Stop treating us like children!

AND GET RID OF THE ‘REOPEN WINDOWS WHEN LOGGIN BACK IN’!!!

Thanks. Was going crazy trying to find a document accidentally saved in mail downloads, which I could find using search, but not anywhere else. As its a new computer and still getting used to set up, I thought I was losing my mind. Turns out Apple lost theirs by hiding a file that documents can get saved into. Had used saved as to change its location and just wanted to trash it. An hour later……. Thanks!

[...] That said, Apple being Apple, there isn’t to my knowledge a publicly listed download link on Apple.com for this sought after version of their WebKit-based browser. Yes, it’s buried inside the OS X 10.6.8 Combo Update — that’s a lot of extra downloading and a bit more work, too.

Thank you!
I experience many problems after I installed Lion OSX that I wouldn’t expect, it is even difficult to upgrade to Leopard. Lion brings too many problems for power users. I agree it is Apple’s Vista. The problem described here and also the problem of the absence of ISYNC, which I really need, as well as the problem of missing to insert special characters and glyphs from font files, the speed, the lack of supporting powermac programs, rosetta etc. are really not nice. I tried different times to downgrade back to Leopard because Lion brings to many problems for me but even with this I was unsuccessful by now.

At least thank you for showing solutions to some of the problems, I could not even make a update of my fonts because this folder is hidden by default… Apple seem to have stopped to post user experiences on their app store website too.

Thanks I need to have that not hidden. That would have really sucked. It’s actually a good thing they did that cause stupid people would probably go into it and accidentally delete or moves things that would mess up there programs. Good thing it’s an easy fix.

Even easier, in Finder go to GO > Go To Folder (or type Shift-CMD-G) and then in the popup, type “~/Library”.

simpler: Type “Library” into the help menu and the menu item is shown in the “Go to…” menu
