How to fix “macOS needs to repair your library to run applications” after High Sierra upgrade? (OS X 10.16.x) and I don't have Clean My Mac 3. Sep 27, 2016 A lot of Mac tutorials mention the Library folder, which is where your macOS applications store things like settings and caches. Some settings can only be changed by editing files in the Library. But the Library is hidden by default.

There are multiple ways to look at Mac OS X and take it apart. Each way makes its own contribution to your understanding of the OS. In this sample chapter, Ted Landau looks at the major ways to 'take apart' Mac OS X.

There is more than one way to think about dividing up a pizza. First, there is the familiar method of dividing it into slices. Alternatively, you could divide it into layers: topping, cheese, sauce, crust. Theoretically, you could also divide it into its basic ingredients: flour, water, tomatoes, garlic, milk. Each method makes a different contribution to your enjoyment of the pizza. The first method (slices) is best when you're getting ready to eat the pizza; the second is best when you are deciding what to order (such as pepperoni with extra cheese); the third is best if you are concerned about nutrition (needing to know the exact ingredients to calculate calories).
The same is true for Mac OS X. There are multiple ways to look at it and take it apart. Each way makes its own contribution to your understanding of the OS. In this chapter, I look at the major ways to 'take apart' Mac OS X. Having at least a minimal knowledge of Mac OS 9 will help, as I occasionally make comparisons between the two OS versions. But even if you've never used Mac OS 9, you'll be able to follow along.

The Layers of Mac OS X: Aqua
Aqua is the name given to what most users think of when they think of Mac OS X: the user interface, the Finder, the Dock, the windows, the translucent buttons, the high-resolution icons, the menus, and all the rest. Many users may never explore Mac OS X beyond its Aqua layer.
From this perspective, a user upgrading from Mac OS 9 will feel quite at home, at least initially. Much still works the same way. You still double-click icons in the Finder to launch them; you still choose the Save command from an application's File menu to save a document; you still open a folder icon to see its contents.
But you will soon notice some significant differences: a new column view, a very different Apple menu, the Dock. I discussed the basics in Chapter 3, when I presented an overview of Mac OS X.

Macs have tons of keyboard shortcuts that let you jump from one place on your Mac to another within milli-seconds. While the apps that you install on your Mac have their own keyboard shortcuts, the default system also has its own shortcuts to help you switch between various system panels on your Mac.

One of the commonly done tasks by many users on a Mac is opening the Library folder. There are various reasons as to why you may want to do so and it varies user by user. If Library happens to be the folder you visit too frequently, you can set up a keyboard shortcut that will take you there with a single keystroke.
It is one of the great features of Macs that lets you define your own keyboard shortcuts for your own tasks.
Let’s see how you can create a keyboard shortcut to open the Library folder on your Mac quickly:
Quickly Launching the Library Folder using a Shortcut on Your Mac
You don’t need a third-party app to do the job as it can be done right from the settings panel on your Mac.
Click on the Apple logo in the top-left corner of your screen and select “System Preferences” to be taken to the system settings panel for your Mac.
When the system settings panel opens, click on the option that says “Keyboard.” That is where you can see and define keyboard shortcuts for your Mac.
Once you are inside the keyboard settings panel, click on the “Shortcuts” tab on the top to view the shortcuts settings.
From the left-hand side menu, you need to click on the option that says “App Shortcuts.” Since you will be launching the Library folder using the Mac’s built-in file explorer app called Finder, you will define its shortcut here in the app shortcuts panel.

Click on the + (plus) sign at the bottom of the shortcuts to add a new shortcut to the list.
On the screen that follows, you will be required to enter three values for the fields.

From the Application drop-down menu, select “Finder” as that is the app that you will launch the Library folder with.
In the Menu Title field, enter “Library.” Make sure you only enter that word, or it won’t work.
In the Keyboard Shortcut field, define the shortcut that you would like to use to get to the library folder on your Mac quickly. Make sure this shortcut is not already used on your Mac with other items.
When you are done, click on “Add” to add the shortcut to the list.
From now on, you can simply press the keyboard shortcut that you defined above to get access to the Library folder on your Mac. As soon as the shortcut is pressed on your keyboard, Finder will quickly launch the Library folder on your screen.
