Mt Lion

[WharfRat]

Against my better judgement, I upgraded my Snow Leopard to MtLion (just to install Quark 10 - of all things)
Now my machine is basically hosed and I will buy another SSD to re-install 10.6.8.
But, until then, ... can anyone tell me how to find the "Hidden folders" in MtLion.
It seems Apple has hidden the "User > Library"

Got it - thanks.

From the Finder click the "Go" menu. Hold down the option key and you should see "Library" appear in the list. If you release the Option key it will disappear so keep holding the option key down and click "Library".

Also you can click the "Go" menu and select "Go to folder..." and type in "/Users/joe/Library" (without the quotes and replace "joe" with your user account name).

WHAT? An upgrade broke everything? Weird!

[Possum]

Ohh, great. I may have to do the exact same upgrade soon as my boss suddenly is entranced with CC. Well, he was warned. At this point, something is bound to break somewhere along the line.

[gnubler]

Well, he was warned.

You did what you could. My advice was also ignored and it basically took down all CS apps on the owner's Mac. Not my problem.

CC runs on 10.6.8. I'm soaking in it right now.

I, too, dread leaving 10.6.8 because that means Preps 5 won't work anymore. It might mean dropping down to only 1 license for Preps 6 because I'm using my own personal dongle (don't ask) for Preps 5 currently and we have 2 operators. It's much easier for us each to have a license to run Preps rather than switching workstations or having one person handle all the impos.

Let's get personal about your dongle. Tell me more.

When it comes to personal dongles, the less I know, the better...

It's not broke. Just different. :laugh:

It's huge. And by huge, I mean tiny.

[gnubler]

That's all that matters (the size). :laugh:

CC says it works on 10.7 and above, so that already means replacing one printer. Still trying to find else what may or may not need upgrading/replacing. I've gotten terribly tired of this business. Just stick me in a corner doing accounts receivable or whatever until I drop dead.

I'm in the hate prepress mode too. Files are total shit but you now has less time to get it done because you are running the digital press copier, helping out in bindery, making deliveries, cleaning the toilets.... or at least I am.

You have to make do with 5 year old computers but the secretary gets a brand new laptop every 2 years. Because of said 5 year old tech you get things working because that is how prepress is. Since you got one file through you are now expected to get every file through with the same equipment. Everyone gets upgraded before prepress, need the fastest gear to run solitaire and check facebork.

Prepress is like mushrooms. Kept in the dark and fed shit.
