By default, the User Library folder is hidden in Mac OS 10.7 and above. We'll cover a few different methods to easily access this hidden folder. The User Library is home to many 'under the hood' files and folders that correspond to the various Apps and system processes in your computer.

In attempting to make life easier for their customers, and to help “fool-proof” Mac OS X Lion, Apple made some user-level changes, such as defaulting to hiding the user’s library directory. While this may be best for inexperienced users, some of us want or even need access to the user Library directory.

Several methods surfaced that work to show the user Library folder in OS X Lion and Mountain Lion – but Macworld’s Dan Frakes points out that there’s an even easier way to show the user Library folder in OS X Mavericks – just open up Finder, navigate to your user folder, press Command+J to bring up the folder’s view options, and select the Show Library Folder.

It’s that simple – and I’m glad to see someone at Apple recognizes that people want access to the Library folder without having to jump through a lot of hoops!

Receipts

Every time you install a Mac OS X update, a receipt .pkg file for the update is stored in this folder. In certain situations, as discussed in Chapter 2, the OS (especially Software Update) uses these files as a means of knowing that a given update has been installed.

StartupItems

This folder is the equivalent of the StartupItems folder in /System/Library. The main difference is that this folder is used for third-party software, as opposed to the preinstalled Mac OS X items stored in the /System/Library folder. If you install Timbuktu Pro, it will install a Startup Item in this folder. This item is needed for the Timbuktu software to be active at startup, no matter which user logs in. The actual Timbuktu application is located elsewhere, most likely in your Applications folder. Similarly, the Retrospect backup software also installs an folder, called RetroRunHelper, in the Startup Items folder.
