Mac OSX 10.10.5 does not Search inside the Library folder, that's a pity.
- All categories are selected in the Spotlight preferences in System Prefs.
- I tried the "System files - are included" trick, nothing.
- I tried the Search: "filename:the_actual_file_name" query trick, nothing.
Does someone know how to tweak Mac OS to perform Searches inside the Library folder???

Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite, Error Message: "The operation cannot be completed because an item with the name ".DS_Store" already exist"
I got this error message trying to do a basic thing: copy a folder from one drive to another.
Not sure how/why this bizarre error is showing up, in any case the workaround seem to be to simply copy again, at which point you're asked the usual: "A folder named ' ' already exists in this location, do you want to replace it with the one you are copying?", click "replace" and off you go.

G Drive 4TB USB3.0 crashes Mac OSX 10.9.4
I'm having problems with the new G Drive 4TB USB3.0 (Version 26.02)
When The drive is idle for a while, it goes into some sort of sleep mode, and when it has to wake up it invariably crashes the Mac on OSX 10.9.4
In Energy Saver I have turned off Every sleep mode, so the drive is doing this by itself, it's not ordered by the OS, and obviously this is creating havoc.
Note that the G Drive only holds Media, no system files whatsoever. And it's formatted HFS+ Mac OS Extended (Journaled) GUID.
I don't know what's causing this and if there is a remedy, but it is extremely annoying.
Are you experiencing this as well? Let me know.
Update: I received a second G Drive 4TB USB3.0 and it too is exhibiting this problem.

Show Library Folder inside your User Folder - Mavericks MacOS 10.9...
For some reason the Library Folder inside your Home Folder is hidden by default... Go figure. To show it again, double click your Home Folder (under "Users"), to open it into its own window.
From the Finder menu choose: "View", "Show View Options". There is a small tick box: "Show Library Folder". Check it, your done.
-- This option only shows when the Home Folder is open.

Radeon 7950 Mac edition on MacPro 3,1 early 2008 OS X Mavericks
Reporting Radeon 7950 Mac edition in MacPro 3,1 working fine.
---
Plain Mavericks, no drivers installed (Sapphire or others.)
No glitch,no flicker, no lag, no hang to report after over 40hrs. 400hrs. of use.
--- Update (May)
I do get the occasional "flicker" reported by other users, on single monitor config, odd.
It's more like a "zap" though. It really happens rarely, but I noticed it up to three times on a single day while working in FCPX.
It's very short, less than a second and I didn't notice it before with two monitors attached.
---
Graphic card working well with FCPX, Motion, and Adobe CC suite (Premiere, AE, PS, AME.)
