Hidden Folders showing up in Color directory browser
Are the hidden folders supposed to show up when i browse my directories from within Color?
is this the way the program is supposed to work?
Anyone know is this is a bug and if it is will there be a fix for it soon?
thank you in advance,
~X
Yep, they do. Color's not alone in this of course, but it does add to the clutter of navigation that's difficult enough without endless scrolling.

I installed Leopard (10.5) on a 1.8 G5 tower. I now see folders that should be invisible. I have updated the OS to 10.5.8 and I still see these folders. This has happened a few times now on different Machines, all 1.8 G5 PPCs. Folders include, "bin", "cores", "private", "sbin", "usr", "Volumes" and aliases to "ect", "tmp" and "var".
Any ideas on why this is happening? And can I make these folders invisible again? preferably without reinstalling the OS? I do not want users accidentally deleting them or saving files into them but I already have these machines loaded with software that I would prefer not to have to reinstall.
ThanksOpen the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
Click on the Finder in the Dock with the Control and Option keys held down and choose Relaunch. Some third-party utility software will also do this.

Showing/ Accessing hidden folders and files
Hi,
In order to reinstal an application (Trend Micro sync), I first need to remove a selecion of hidden files that I used on Leopard to find under the account/library/ Application support.... They are "hidden folders and files". Under Lion I don't know how to set the finder to show them to me, especially as I don't remember the name !
Thanks for your help
Stéphane[What Should Be Invisible Isn't|http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/toovisible.html]
[Invisible Finder 2.1|http://www.versiontracker.com/php/dlpage.php?id=9867&db=mac&pid=7198&kind=& lnk=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ragedownload.com%2Finvisfinder.sit] lists just invisible files. JuhOS X lists all files and flags invisible ones. Some applications let you toggle invisibility, though this doesn't take effect until you restart the Finder.
The other thing to do is verify your drive with Disk Utility. Your computer isn't likely to be suddenly deciding to hide files, but aberrant behavior could be an indicator of a corrupt drive. -
Catalog Tree doesn't show hidden folders
Hi,
I have set some folders in the presentation catalog to 'hidden' to hide from all users but for some roles Administrators & Authors I have permissioned the 'Show hidden items' privilege so they can see the folders. Both the Administrators & Authors can create new Analysis & dashboard prompts and see the hidden folders. However when i create a new dashboard and attempt to add content the hidden folders are not shown in the Catalog tree on the left hand side when in edit dashboard mode.
Is this an known issue?
Any help would be great
Regards
AdrianHi Veeravalli
I have tested it for an Administrator user and an Author user and the same issue applies (i.e. can't see the hidden folders in the catalog tree in dashboard edit mode)
I'm running 11.1.1.6.1 on Linux 64
Thanks
Regards

Browse other time machine disks and hidden folders
I recently did a clean install of Snow Leopard, and used the "Browse other Time Machine disks" option to restore my documents from my backup. Now, however, I want to restore a folder that resides in the hidden /usr, and can't figure out how to do so. Normally, the solution would be to open a Finder window go use Go > Go to Folder and type the path to the folder, then enter Time Machine. However, when using Browse for other disks, once it enters Time Machine, it resets the Finder window to Macintosh HD. Does anybody know how to restore hidden folders from a Time Machine backup on another disk (from a different installation of Mac OS X)? Thanks

it should not reset the finder window when you enter TM. open a /usr in finder. enter commandshiftg and enter /user in popup. this will open /usr in a separate window. enter TM from that window. provided you did not exclude system files from backups you'll see past backups of /usr and the view will not reset. if you did exclude system files from backups then the view will reset. -
I have 2 hidden folders in my Users directory
I have 2 hidden folders in my Users directory. I am unable to access them through the terminal. Can someone tell me why I have hidden folders in my users directory and how I could look at what's inside them? Could they be safely deleted?
If they are hidden then they are probably there for a reason not to be messed with. Deleting them may cause system errors. If you would really like to view what is inside them, you can download a free application that would let you view them.
Houdini works great for me. -
Hi;
I am trying to get my iPod Touch backup on an external drive, but the folder is hidden. How do I show hidden folders? (new to Mac)
Thank you.To show hidden folders on your mac, open terminal and type (or copy/paste):
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
To hide the hidden folders change the true to false. Hope this helps! -
How can I get Finder to show me hidden folders I know are there?
Does anyone know how to make hidden folders visible like in Windows, or if there is even a way at all?
A few weeks ago my iPod kind of crashed and I lost my library, but the files are still on it. Anyone who is familiar with Windows knows you can just goto "folder options" and make hidden folders visible, which is how you can get into your iPod to access the individual music files.
I need and want to format the iPod but can't because I need my music off of it first and I get Finder to allow me to see the hidden folders. Please help!Since I use the Terminal frequently I use it to transfer songs that are on my iPod back to various computers. However, if you aren't used to Terminal there are better options.

Uninstall MacKeeper:
Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper. Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 required more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
If you actually used MacKeeper to alter your system, e.g. "remove excess binaries" or such, you will need to reinstall OS X as well as all your additional software. Uninstalling MacKeeper is insufficient to reverse the corruption it is capable of - once again, that is if you used it.
If you merely installed MacKeeper but did not use it to perform any particular action, the following instructions will suffice.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk. -
Fresh Install: Hidden Folders in Finder not Hidden... Need Help.
I just did a complete reformat/install of 10.5 and did a completely standard install, didn't modify anything. Ran all the updates to 10.5.2, and now folders on the root of my hard drive that are normally hidden are showing up for some reason... it's the "bin" "core" "etc" "private" "bin" "tmp" and a few others. I've tried everything to get them to go away (ran Disk Permissions, booted from the install DVD and ran Disk Utility, etc) and they refuse to go away. Even tried logging in as root and changing the visibility of the folders with File Buddy and that didn't work.
Anyone else have this problem and have a solution?Hello
I had to reinstall a new hard drive and experienced this problem myself, here is the fix I found at
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071107023334449
I can confirm that this WORKS.
"Have you just reinstalled Mac OS X Leopard? Are you one of the unlucky ones that now has visible Unix files in your root file system? I sure did, and after digging around a little, it seems to be a bug in the Mac OS X installer -- but it only happens when you install a clean copy of Leopard (not updating). The question however, is how to get rid of them.. Obviously, deleting the folders is NOT an option.
Here's how you hide them:
Insert your Leopard DVD
Choose Open Apple Install Discs in Pacifist
Choose the Leopard DVD
Find and Extract the following two files to a directory of your choice:
Resources » OSInstall.mpkg » OSInstall.pkg » Scripts for hidden_MacOS9
Resources » OSInstall.mpkg » OSInstall.pkg » Scripts » Tools » SetHidden
Open Terminal and cd to the folder you extracted the files to.
Run this command sudo ./SetHidden / hidden_MacOS9.
Enter password and reboot your Mac once the command has executed.
After rebooting, the unix folders and links should now be hidden from the root file system again, just like in Tiger. "
Please download Pacifist first.
Cheers

Hi,
Since upgrading to version 11.1.2.1, all Financial Reports and books that were existing in the Root directory are showing as Hidden when a user logs into Workspace. In order to see the folders/reports under the default directory (Root), we have to check the "Show Hidden" option in the View menu.
Recently, when we were trying to create a Scheduled Batch in EPMA, an admin user was not able to see any of the hidden folders when trying to select the batch file. Does anyone know how to make the report directories not hidden, so we don't have an issue with the batches? We did not have this problem in the previous version (11.1.2.0).
Thanks in advance for any help!There are patches for 11.1.2.1 release.Please check the patches and downloads option in my oracle support.There will be patches for Foundation and FR.\
The latest for FR is Patch 13558484: Patch Set Update: 11.1.2.1.118 for Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting
Foundation:Patch 13704010: Patch Set Update: 11.1.2.1.119 for Oracle Hyperion Reporting and Analysis for Foundation

I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac). For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always. I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

How can I add a folder of MP3s to Final Cut so they show up in the media browser?
I have a collection of royalty free audio clips in MP3 format. I would like to get them to show up in the media browser, so I don't have to go to the finder each time to get them into a project. Any idea how to do this?
If you want them in the Music and Sound media browser specifically, rather than in your Event Library, then you could easily just add them to your system's iTunes library, then access them via FCP X:
http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0/#ver549f1ed1
Or if you want to avoid adding / organizing them in your iTunes library then you can just drag and drop your already organized MP3 folder directly into the Sound and Music media browser pane inside FCP X and the app will add that folder to the browser inside a new "Folders" category. -
New files not showing up in Adobe Bridge browser
Since mid-October all new images added to "My Pictures" file refuse to show up the Adobe Bridge browser box. This is infuriating!! I've got Photoshop CS2 and run Windows XP prof. Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks, but My issue isn't with the thumbnails..... the new folders are totally missing from "My Pictures" folder, when viewed in Adobe Bridge. I can get around this by opening individual images in the program provided with my camera, and then stipulating I want to edit it in Photoshop... but what a time sucking pain!
