Ray,
You had the command correct the second time, but there's no space between the tilde and the slash, so the command would be: Chflags nohidden ~/Library After you type that, be sure you type exit to log out of terminal, give it a few seconds between commands, and then check again for the folter. Hope this helps!

The Library folder off the route is not hidden. I'm a little confused as to the instructions one needs to put in to Terminal to unhide this. Here's the first string I tried. "chflags nohidden / Users /< Ray >/ Library" OF course, I left out the quotes. I figured that the instructions meant that "Username" was to be substituted for by my actual home folder user name. that didn't work so I tried this: "chflags nohidden / Users /< Username >/ Library" No luck with that either. So, I tried a method recommended as the shorter way: "chflags nohidden ~ /Library After all that, the c/Users/Ray/Library folder remains hidden. Can't help but get the feeling I'm typing something wrong here. Any advice? Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!
