HOW CAN I SEE THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE WITH FINDER?

Hi Folks,
I need an help. How can I see everything in my hdd, the exact content of it, using Finder and not an 'easy view'? For example, in the hdd root there are folders like 'tmp', 'var', 'usr' and so on but I can't see them from Finder just using the command prompt. How can I do?
Thanks in advance.

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
tell app "Finder" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
delay 2
tell app "Finder" to run
This script will not allow you to access anything which is set not to be readable by your user account. The /dev/ folder on the startup disk is hardcoded to be hidden to the GUI and cannot be revealed in the Finder by this or any other method. To turn it off, replace the 1 with a 0.

  • How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ?

    How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ? My husband has an ipad and he can see the whole week and the whole year... is it possible with iphone 4 ?

    What you see is what is available.
    Turning the iPhone into landscape mode with Month, Day, or List view selected provides the closest thing to seeing an entire week.

  • How can I see the entire "title" of a page (now truncated)?

    I see that Firefox is now truncating the "title" of web pages. I cannot see any good reason for this because the space to the right of the title is blank. I think it was done in the "do anything to make changes to Firefox" department but in this case it is not an improvement and provides the user with less information.
    How can I fix the browser so I can again see the entire "title" as provided by the web page designer? I don't want to take extra steps (if any) to see it. I want it to display automatically each time.

    That is on the tab. A tab has a maximum width because otherwise a long title would cover the full tab width.
    You can make the Windows title bar visible again in the open the customize window via the 3-bar Firefox menu button (Customize is at the bottom left).<br />
    There you will find the choice to have the title bar visible.

  • How can I see the entire mail message without making it smaller font and not having to scroll to the right?

    when i open a message in hotmail i have to scroll to the right to see the entire sentence. I did not have to do this before what has changed? Me or you?
    Thanks

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
    *Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    *NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
    *Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

  • How can I see the entire url in the address bar in Mountain Lion including the http or https?

    I recently updated Safari and now when the url of the site I am visiting shows up in the adress bar...it is minus the http or https so I am unaware fo whether the site is secure or not. How can I enable Safari to show me the entire url each and everytime I visit a webpage? Like before??

    Users can revert to the old behavior by setting '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs''' to '''false''' in '''about:config'''.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    To change this preference:<br>
    <br>
    type about:config in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.<br>
    if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)<br>
    Filter: browser.urlbar.trimURLs<br>
    in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false<br>

  • How can I see the entire page on ebay?

    I cannot view the entire page on ebay. I can see the photo and the first list of items on the specific page but am unable to see any further information such as what other options are available on an Apple laptop or any additional info until I get to the bottom of the page and then I can see the number of times the page has been viewed or additional items like the one I am currently viewing. I have set my options to accept cookies but continue to have this issue. HELP

    Hello Becky.
    Although possibly not related to your problem, I will remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. Furthermore, it has known bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum stability, performance, security and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your issue, is this a problem with all browsers (for example, does it also happen on internet explorer?) or just with Firefox?

  • How can I "see" the folder structure behind the iPhoto-library?

    Within iPhoto (iLife 8) I can right click on a picture and, through Show File, find it in its respective subfolder. BUT, when I go to finder and highlight the iPhoto library in Pictures, I only get information about the total library (size, location etc,) but not its underlying folder and subfolder structure(as was customary in iPhoto6). What changes in settings do I need to make to show the folder-structure?
    Thanks in advance

    What changes in settings do I need to make to show the folder-structure?
    None, you can't do it.
    With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. You can look inside there simply by right-clicking on the iPhoto Library and going 'Show Package Contents'.
    However, It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. There are no user serviceable parts in the iPhoto Library.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Regards

  • How can I see the entire image date in Metadata EXIF DD/MM/YY?

    I cannot see the full image date under metadata EXIF, just the day and month. Could you help me to see the year the picture was taken? Thanks a lot.

    Where are you not seeing the full date information?  If it is on one of the Browser Metadata Overlays, you may have to increase the size of the thumbnails or remove some of the other data being shown (and/or the metadata labels).
    On my Metadata Overlays for Browser, Viewer, and Tooltip, as well as on the Metadata tab of the Inspector, the full date-time stamp is shown, e.g.:
    10/26/11  4:23:41 p EDT

  • How can I see the entire screen on my Sony HDTV?

    The top and bottom of the display is cut off when viewing the screen on my Sony HDTV using DVI output with mirroring on.  I've tried changing my display resolutions for the Sony from my Mac display preferences as well as changing the display format on the Sony side to no avail.

    Does your TV remote have "Picture Display, Picture Size" or something to that effect?"

  • Pages: how can I see the structure of a document?

    Hi, I'm a new user, I just bought my first mac last week.
    I have a problem with Pages. How can I see the structure (organization) of the document I'm working on? I mean headings, headings 2, etc? In Microsoft Word you see it on the left. I don't mean thumbnails, but the construction of the document.
    I know how to mark headings and other parts of a typical document but how can I see the structure afterwards?
    Thanks in advance.

    What you are asking for is Outlining, and that has been removed from Pages 5.2 along with 110 other features.
    Use Pages '09 if you can.

  • How can I see the windows 8 contacts in outlook 2013 with groups preserved

    I an see my windows 8 contacts.
    they are all nice and some are broken down into groups.
    (I double clicked an old .wab and they imported nicely into windows 8, preserving groups)
    now how can I see this same structure as an email lists with groups in outlook 2013?  I see the emails, but no groups.
    can you help?
    thanks

    Those groups are not supported in outlook - outlook uses a different format for groups. You'll need to import the individual contacts into Outlook and recreate the groups.

  • How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac?

    How can I see the old backups of my previous Macbook done by Time machine in a Time capsule with my new iMac? I've changed from a Macbook to a iMac because that one stopped working and I cannot use it anymore. I've been able to import all the data of the last backup of the Macbook when setting the new iMac, but I cannot access now to the old backups of the Macbook and there are information that wasn't in the last backup and I would like to recover. Thank you very much.
