When fixing problems on a Mac, sometimes you need to roll up your sleeves and directly modify the system configuration files in your Library folder. Apple hides the Library folder by default, so it can be difficult to locate. Here's how to find it.
Be careful with your library folder
Apple hides the Library folder for good reason: contains essential configuration files for both macOS and its applications. If you accidentally delete or modify those files, can cause serious problems in your system. Because, before diving into the Library, make sure you have a current Time Machine backup and plan for what you will be doing.
It is also a good idea to keep a backup of the files that you will be moving or replacing in the Library folder.. As an example, if you plan to overwrite a file named “email.plist”, you must first rename the existing file “email.plist.old”. If something goes wrong with your replacement, you can delete it and restore the old file by renaming it to “email.plist”.
Method 1: use the Go menu
A Finder, when you click the Go menu at the top of the screen, “Library” in general it is not present in the list. But if you hold down the Option key when you click “Ir”, will appear “Library”.
From there, New account “Library”, and it will be taken directly to your Library folder.
Method 2: “Go to” the library folder directly
Alternatively, if you like to make things a little more complicated, you can also visit your Library folder by switching to Finder and selecting Go> Go to folder from the menu bar.
In the text box that appears, enter “~ / Library” and press “Ir”.
A) Yes, will be taken directly to your library folder.
Method 3: a keyboard shortcut that shows hidden files
If you are browsing the home folder of your user account in the Finder and the Library is hidden, press Command + Shift +. (that's a point) on the keyboard. All hidden files in the folder will appear as translucent icons, including Library folder.
From there, you can double click on the Library folder icon to open it.
If you want to hide the library folder again, just press Command + Shift +. and the hidden files will disappear as fast as they appeared.
How to make the library folder always visible on macOS
If you access the library folder many times and you just wish you could always see it, also there is an option for that. To see, open a Finder window and navigate to View> Show View Options in the menu bar at the top of the screen. Or you can press Command + J.
In the little window that appears, find the option that says “Show Library Folder” and check the box next to it.
Thereafter, the library will always appear both in the home folder and in the Finder's Go menu. Be careful and good luck!
