I want to restore the hidden user Library folder from Time Machine but I am unable to see it when I enter Time Machine. Read on.
I thought the hidden Library folder would appear if I used the Terminal command to either reveal the hidden Library folder AND/OR to show all hidden files and folders. Both commands work outside of Time Machine but they don't show any hidden files or folders when I am in Time Machine space.
Is it possible to see and/or restore the hidden Library folder in Time Machine?
I appreciate any help? I'm stuck.
P.S. I am using 10.8.1 if that is helpful to know. And the Time Machine backup that I am trying to restore my Library folder from was from my previous hard drive in which I was also running 10.8.1. I switched to a new hard drive.
open /Users/username/Library
and start TimeMachine from there.
