My search returned hidden files.
Could you please show me how to reveal hidden files.
View | Show Hidden files IS checked.
Thanks.

Open the Script Editor or AppleScript Editor in one of the subfolders of Applications and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
else
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
end if
delay 2
tell application "Finder" to run
If you change your mind later, run the script again.

  • How do I get Firefox to show hidden files and folders. It should be available under help but help only gets as far as Open Containing folder and doesn't go on to show hidden files and folders

    I am trying to find the status of Adobe Flash Player on my computer. I am advised that it exists in Firefox's hidden files and folders but I cannot find such a folder

    You have an older version of Flash installed - Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
    You can see that for yourself in Tools > Addons > Plugins
    "Show hidden files and folders" is a function of the Operating System, not an application such as Firefox. Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > View - Advanced Settings

  • How to show hidden dot (".someFile") files under a specific directory

    Hello!
    I came across numerous ways to show hidden files and folders in Finder via a Google search, but I don't want to open the door to an accidental screwup with important files.
    However, I do want to be able to view the hidden .htaccess files in Finder in order to learn to use Apache web server modules. Is it possible to tell Finder to show me the .htaccess files only in my /htdocs directory?
    Thanks.

    AFAIK the Finder is either on or off for displaying hidden files. However, there is a Contextual Menu item that may do what you want:
    http://home.online.no/~stoedle/YLS/YLS-products/FolderGlance.html
    You set it up so when you control or right click on a folder it displays all the contents, including hidden files. FolderGlance is donationware.

  • How do you show hidden files

    I'm trying to copy ACL files from msword to get my autocorrect files installed and was given instructions which dont follw it- as all full the address train is not visible, thought if I could open them it would help?

    Show Hidden Files in Mac OS X
    Launch Terminal (in Utilities) and copy/paste the following line into the terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    Hit return.  The copy/paste the following line:
    killall -9 Finder
    Hit return.  You will see the finder relaunch and any invisible files should be visible.
    Note.  To reverse this you do the exact same thing except the TRUE on end of the first (defaults) command should be FALSE.

  • HOW TO VIEW HIDDEN FILES?????

    i have searched for days on my computer for some hint a program or option that allows me to view any hidden files in an application folder, but it has yet eluded me.
    I am having trouble with a program of mine, and the tech service there told me to send them the programs log file, which they named. i looked in the applications folder, and the only files i saw was the program icon, and the uninstall folder, which contained the uninstall icon. i told them this, and they replied:
    "i'am sure that these files are on your computer. Maybe they are invisible.
    Please search (automatic) the folder ".********" ."
    if anyone knows, eitehr what this means, or how to view hidden files, please let me know
    Thanx

    To see inside an application package select the application then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Show package contents from the contextual menu. You can navigate through the application package's content. It's unlikely you will find anything useful there.
    To see invisible files open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the command line prompt enter or paste the following command then press RETURN:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files substitute FALSE for TRUE in the same command line.
    Invisible files are invisible for a reason - to hide them from the prying eyes of novice users and ignorant tech support people. Perhaps it would be more helpful if you could detail the problem you are having.

  • Showing hidden files white screen upon restart

    I put in the command to show hidden files and restarted my iMac. It only shows a white screen. Completely blank. How do I fix it? It runs on Lion and has a Time Machine backup.

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
         a. Boot into the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Step 7
    Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a Time Machine or other backup.
    Step 8
    This step applies only to a pre-2013 Mac Pro tower, not to any other model. A dead logic-board battery can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

    how to see hidden files in folders

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't see by default hidden files through Finder. However, you can do it with a command that you can copy in Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities). Open this application and type:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE && killall Finder
    After doing it, you will be able to see hidden files through Finder in all the volumes connected to the MacBook Pro

  • Trashed files on a Toshiba stick , found by turning on show hidden files.

    I rescued a bunch of files from a memory stick by the above method. I dropped these into a new folder on the laptop.
    When I went into the folder , all were available. But After turning off "show all hidden files," I lost some , but not all , files. They are retrievable by using the switch again of course.
    I was wondering if there is some code that might be modified in these files to make them all be "not hidden."
    Thanks.
    8 gig TOSHIBA STICK. SNOW LEOPARD ON MBP.

    If you are not comfortable with the command line...
    once you have turned on "show hidden files," note the names of the now unhidden files.
    Each one should start with "."
    remove the "." and the files will be visible when you turn off the show hidden files flag

  • How to recover hidden files and folders from memor...

    When you connect your memory card to a PC or connect your phone as a mass storage device to a PC which is infected by a virus, the virus may hide all your files and folders.
    The virus also changes their attributes to "hidden" and "read only" and may move all memory card content to another hidden folder, though the size of the disk looks unchanged, files are still invisible.
    Steps to recover hidden files and folders:
    First, change the settings in "folder options" so that we can see all hidden files and folders,
    Open any folder > select organise > folder and search options, select view tab and under hidden files and folders setting, select "show hidden files, folders and drives", and uncheck the option "Hide protected operating system files" and click ok, click yes if a prompt appears for confirmation, now you should be able to see all hidden files and folders.
    Second, connect your memory card to PC using a card reader or you can connect your phone as a mass storage device and note down its drive letter. (L) is the drive in my case as shown
    1. If you have autorun.info file, you can manually delete it or use tools like autorun eater(or any other you like).
    If all the folders are moved inside a hidden folder, select all the items inside that folder, cut them and paste them to root directory of your memory card.
    If you select properties of any folder on your memory card, the hidden attribute might be locked as shown:
    To solve these issues, type cmd in the start menu, right click on it and click run as administrator.
    2. In the command prompt window, type the following:
    L: [Press Enter]
    Here, I assume L as your drive letter.
    3. Type the following code to reset the attributes of all the files and folders to their default:
    Attrib *.* -r -h -s /s /d   [Press Enter]
    After few seconds, all the files and folders will be reset to their normal attributes settings.
    Hope you enjoyed reading the post and was helpful.

    Check the formatting of the external hard drive. To do that, right click on the drive icon and select Get Info. (Or click once on the drive and type command +i ) The pane includes information about the drive format.
    The drive should be formatted as Mac OS Extended. If it is not, run Disk Utility (App;ications / Utilities) and format the drive.

  • How to view hidden files OS X Lion 10.7.3

    Cannot find some files (my templates folder in Microsoft Word, I know the location of the folder but it will not show in Finder), tried holding down option key when selecting folders to show hidden folders but it did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions please.

    Show Hidden Files in Mac OS X
    If the files you are referring to are in your home directory's Library then rather than enabling all hidden files just use the Finder Go menu, Go To Folder..., and enter ~/Library and click the Go button.
    If you want to make the Library visible then launch Terminal (in Utilities) and copy/paste the following line:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    The hit returned and relaunch the finder.
    You can reverse this operation to hide it again using:
    chflags hidden ~/Library

  • How to toggle hidden files

    With the new Mountain Lion, my previous keyboard short cut to toggle "show hidden files" doesn't work anymore.  There was also a widget that you could download to do the same thing, but stored on mobileme, which is shut down.

  • How to delete hidden files that I uploaded to Download folder

    I read posts on delete but am concerned I'll mess something up - I have never used Terminal and am hoping there's an easier way.
    I recently switched from Windows to Mac for my development computer.
    I wanted to edit an .htaccess file for a web site I downloaded it to the downloads folder and of course, because it has a dot as the first character it turns out I can delete it. I was able to edit the htaccess file with Fetch, saved it to a web dev folder and upload it. But I still have an .htaccess file in my Download folder that I would like to remove.
    What is the easiest way to do this?
    Thank you!

    The easiest way is to tell Finder to show hidden files. Open Terminal and copy this to Terminal window:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE && killall Finder
    Then, go to Downloads folder and delete the file. Finally, return to Terminal and copy the same text but replacing TRUE for FALSE.
    Alternatively, if you know the name of the file, you can move to Downloads folder in Terminal with the cd command and use the rm command to delete the file, but it's dangerous. Don't do it unless you are sure what you are doing, and make a backup

  • Show hidden files breaks "All My Files"

    I'm trying to get my AMP stack back up on a new Mountain Lion Mac, which has become a larger pain since they removed Web Sharing. First step to getting the AMP stack up was to show hidden files:
    defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
    Then a restart of finder (option + right click Finder in dock > Restart), but this has completely killed "All My Files" showing anything. It's not like I really care about this feature of Finder, but still, just wondering if there is a different terminal command now for showing hidden files that doesn't break this. Hiding hidden files back to default does not fix "All My Files" either.
    In addition, you can't double click any hidden folders, you have to right click and select "Open" or "Open Original" if it was an alias (ie etc).

    I can't reproduce the problem.
    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Enter "mdworker" (without the quotes) in the Filter text field. Post the messages that appear in the Console window — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.
    Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.
    Step 2
    Do the same with the search string "mds".
