Apple on Friday released a minor version update to its iTunes content management software for Mac, bringing a fix for the recently discovered bug introduced in OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 that inadvertently hides the "/Users" folder.

Apple's iTunes 11.2.1 carries the same release notes as version iTunes 11.2, which was released on Thursday alongside the latest OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 maintenance update.

Not listed among the modifications, version 11.2.1 contains a fix for a bug discovered in the Mac operating system that hides the system's "/Users" folder at the top level of an affected machine's hard drive.

The issue is easily solved with the routine Terminal command sudo chflags nohidden /Users , while a less permanent fix can be had by using the following method:

Open a Finder window and select the "Go" menu, then choose "Go to Folder"

Once the dialog appears, type "/Users" (without quotes) and click the "Go" button

Control-click on the "/Users" folder and select "Make Alias"
