A quick note to mention is that IBM also announced the plan for the version of Sametime that Notes/Domino customers is entitled to...
"On September 10th 2013, IBM Sametime 9 was released and IBM Sametime 8.5.x was withdrawn from market. Current IBM customers with an entitlement to IBM Notes/Domino that do not have a separate full entitlement to IBM Sametime are entitled to a limited use version of IBM Sametime that is bundled with Notes/Domino. That entitlement continues with IBM Notes/Domino 9.0.1 which was released on October 29th 2013.
IBM Notes/Domino 9.0.1 currently includes IBM Sametime 8.5.2 IFR1. IBM intends to make available an IBM Sametime Limited Use 9 release for IBM Notes/Domino 9.0.1 customers on the IBM Passport Advantage website. This will provide the functional equivalent of IBM Sametime Entry 8.5.x. This update will be provided as soon as possible - further details on the availability date will be posted to this technote when available."

Lotus Notes Data on Mac OS X Lion

So, I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion the other day. Took a while to get used to the user interface, but I'm getting there.

As I use Lotus Notes (currently version 8.5.2) on the Mac as well as in multiple VMWares, I do copy and paste my ID file quite a bit.

So, when I changed my Notes password I went to look for my Lotus Notes Data directory under:
Home > Library > Application Support > Lotus Notes Data.

To my surprise, the Library directory did not seem to exist.
So I went on a hunt!

It turns out the Library directory is still there, but hidden.
The way to get to that directory is the following...
1. Make sure your in the Finder app;
2. Select Go in the top bar;
3. Hold down the Option key (alt), and the Library directory shall magically appear.



Hope this helps!

Addition:This can be made permanent by opening Terminal and entering the following command:
chflags nohidden ~/Library/
