How do I re-hide the USR folder which appeared out of no where?

Hi all
for some reason my UNIX usr folder has become visible on my Macintosh HD. I know how import this folder is so I want it hidden again. I'm not sure what has caused it to appear, I haven't installed anything like Cocktail because I don't believe in messing around with such things - especially when I don't know what I am doing.
I have tried the Terminal command to show and the hide the invisible items in the Finder, but the USR file remains visible.
Can someone help me to re-hide this folder? I'm not a techie, and don't know terminal that well, but am happy to type in the commands as they stated.
Please help if you can
Jordy

Hi there
I tried the terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
And then False to hide them again, but that didn't work.
I don't currently have the developer tools installed, but I could do if needs be?
When typing the command: ls -l /usr/bin/SetFile /usr/bin/GetFileInfo
I get the following:
ls: /usr/bin/GetFileInfo: No such file or directory
ls: /usr/bin/SetFile: No such file or directory
I'm guessing that's because I don't have developer tools installed?
Thanks for your help thus far

    Yes it sounds like you have a corrupted preference file.
    The setting you make in individual programs get saved to a Preference file in your Users/Library/Preferences folder.
    All you have to do is drag out the old file to the desktop, reboot and load the program and the preference file gets rebuilt without your preferences which you reset.
    For your case I beleive the preference file is
    com.apple.desktop.plist

  • Hide the document folder in GW7

    Since I don't use the document management option in GroupWise, can I hide
    the document folder in GW 7 client?
    I asked that question with GW 6.5 and was told NO.
    Thanks
    Gina

    That's what I thought but hope it will be different for GW 7.
    Thanks

  • How do I temporarily hide the horizontal scroll bar ?

    How do I temporarily hide the horizontal scroll bar ?

    cor-el: I have re-read your posts and have attempted to follow the instructions with these results:
    Firefox>tools>web developer>scratch pad(deleted the instructions so as to have a blank box)>inserted your code, vis. javascript:void(document.body.style.setProperty('overflow-x','hidden',));
    The result was: syntax error
    I then performed the same steps as above but inserted your code: javascript:void(document.body.style.setProperty('overflow-y','hidden','important'));void(document.body.style.setProperty('overflow-x','hidden','important'));
    The result was that after clicking on 'run' nothing at all happened. The cursor just kept blinking.
    I'll bet that there is just some small syntactic error.

    How do I temporarily hide the scroll bars ?

    I assume that your post in [[/questions/906990#answer-291125]] ended up in the wrong thread and should have appeared here.
    The only thing that changes if you run the code in the Scratchpad is the disappearance and reappearance of the scroll bar in the current tab. You do not see anything in the Scratchpad. So you need to switch back to the browser window.
    You can test it with this code, that should make both scroll bars appear:
    <pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow","scroll",""));
    </nowiki></pre>
    [[/questions/906990#answer-291125]]:
    <blockquote>In Scratchpad I ran both:
    <pre><nowiki>void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
    and
    void(document.body.style.setProperty("overflow-x","hidden",""));
    In the 2nd one I got:
    17:48:57.826 |x unexpected end of XML source
    @ Scratchpad:1'''
    For the 1st one I got no activity, only a blinking cursor.
    any other ideas ?
    Good luck and merry Christmas, Bill

    I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
    Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

    Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

    When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.
