Apple Releases iTunes 11.2. to Fix the Hidden “Users” Folder
The Global nightmare is over!
In the early AM of May 17, 2014 Apple releases iTunes 11.2.1 to fix the hidden “Users” folder. After iTunes 11.2.1 is installed, “Users” folder is no longer hidden.
“Users” folder becomes hidden when the following conditions met:
- OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 build 13D65 is installed
- iTunes 11.2 is installed
- “Find My Mac” is turned on
The “Users” folder could be made visible again by changing the visibility flag using the Terminal command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Users/
Users are finding out that even after the “Users” folder becomes hidden again after reboot.
Video: OS X 10.9.3 Find My Mac Hides “Users” Folder
In OS X 10.9.3, turning on Find My Mac will result in “Users” folder to be hidden.
According to many reports, iTunes 11.2 must also be installed in addition to “Find My Mac” enabled in OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 for this bug to execute.
To make the “Users” folder visible again until next reboot,
login as an administrator, launch Terminal.App and type the command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Users
Type in your password when prompted. If you do not have a login password for your admin account, leave it blank.
By the way, why didn’t you assign a password to your admin account? Set a password already.

One Hot Day in May 2014
I was stuck on the I-405 freeway and the temperature was as high as 107°F according to my car.
When the traffic was completely at full stop, I snapped a photo. It said 105°F.
