How do you make invisible folders visible

how do you make invisible folders visible? My hard drive icon will not show up? I did not set-up this computer.

The instructions I provided have nothing to do with Time Machine. Did you try what I suggested? If you select the "alias" file then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Show Original in the context menu.
Maybe it would be helpful if you were to provide a more complete description of this issue.

  • How do I make hidden folders visible?

    sorry about the basic question, but How do I make hidden folders visible?
    thanks

    Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    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.

  • How do you make multiple folders in the photo app-

    the question speaks for itself.also, how do you sync multiple albums onto the phone?

    The way I sync folders is this (I know it may not be what you are looking for).
    But in iTunes you can pick a folder to sync to. For me I made a specific folder just for my iPhone.
    Any pictures I want on my iPhone I put in that folder (copies).
    And then in that folder you can create subfolders (to organize). Note though you can only go 1 subfolder deep. You cannot put a subfolder in a subfolder.
    So for example:
    C:\DATA\iPHONE This is the folder for my syncing.
    I can create
    C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY
    C:\DATA\iPHONE\FRIENDS
    C:\DATA\iPHONE\ABSTRACT
    C:\DATA\iPHONE\NEWYEARSPARTY
    But I cannot create
    C:\DATA\iPHONE\FAMILY\WIFE
    Then you just put pictures you want sycned into them. Sort of better to work with copies and have a folder specific for the iPhone I think. At some point you will want pics removed from your phone and far easier to just delete them from the iPhone specific folder than if you went to route of syncing to the folder you actually store photos you want to keep forever on your computer. Having a specific folder with copies means you can delete and add at will and know your real memories are elsewhere.

  • How to hide (make invisible) folders in Boot camp windows partition

    I just bought my parents a mac mini core duo and set up boot camp on it. I used FAT32 so the windows partition shows up in OSX as a volume called "NO NAME". I can also see all of the files and system directories in the volume as one would expect. I have 2 questions.
    1. can I rename the "NO NAME" partition from within osx to something more like "WINDOWS" or "XP"? or am I stuck with "NO NAME"?
    2. How Can I hide all of the system files and directories? I don't want other people in the house to be able to see anything on that partition except for 1 directory called "DropBox" (or something like that). This will protect the windows partition from being tampered with, and any files that need to be moved across partitions can just be placed in the "DropBox" folder.
    I would appreciate any help with this.
    thanks,

    Do you have the "Developer" folder on the main level of your hard drive? If not, you can manually install the Developer Tools from the install disk(s) that came with your iBook.
    I would be more than just a little worried about using the Terminal and command line codes to start hiding files & folders on your Mac if you're not already familiar with those tools.

  • Making invisible folders visible

    How do i make invisible folders visible?

    Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following exactly as written below:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    do shell script "chflags nohidden " & quoted form of POSIX path of (choose folder with invisibles)
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    To change the global setting instead of making single items visible, replace the second line with:
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"

  • How can I make invisible the menu "window" on oracle webforms

    anybody can tell me how can I make invisible menu "window" that appears on webforms?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Hi Andrew,
    Thank you for looking at my problem!
    Both my development system and test system are Window XP. The font size are all set to Normal. What other details do you need to know?
    The text on front panel shows well on my development machine. But when the .exe runs on my test machine, the text size was not adjusted by itself so the text body got cut off.
    I found a way to "fix" this problem: I had to drag the text box down and right so there is enough magin between the text body and the box on the right and at the bottom. I had to try it a few times until it finally shows well on my test machine. However, with those magins, it doesn't look nice on my development machine anymore. Also, I only tried on one test machine, if it looks good on one test machine, will it look good on all the other machines? Eventually my app is going to run on Window 7. I'll have to test that out and find out if it's still going to be a problem. Anyway, I don't feel this is the right way to do it. I hope someone knows what I'm talking about and have a soluction to it.
    Thanks very much!

    How do I make document folders in adobe reader app on iPad? Thanks

    First show the Documents list, and in the upper left tap the Edit button. A toolbar in the upper left you'll see a folder icon with a + superimposed. Tap that and you'll be prompted to Create a Folder. Enter the folder name and tap the Save button and your new folder will appear in the Documents list.

  • HT201320 How do I make new folders in mail?

    How do I make new folders in mail?

    If you are in desperation for folders you could set up an imap account such as Gmail or Hotmail, create whatever folders you want, add the account to your iPad, send the emails you want to categorise to your new email address and manage them from within. You could also consider gradually making the new email address your future one thus eliminating the need to be always forwarding and thus creating duplicates in a sense. Might be a bit clumsy but it is a work around!

  • How do i make new folders in the photo files

    how do i make new folders in the camera on the i phone

    If you are syncing from a folder on your PC, drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on your device, create folders inside the main folder and drag images into the new folders.
    If you are syncing from a photo application on your PC, use it to create albums and then select those albums to sync.

    Right-click on that saved image's thumbnail in Windows to bring up a menu.
    Select "Open with..." and from that "Choose default program"
    A box will open up with a list of Programs to  choose from. Photoshop CS6 64 bit should be in that list.
    Make sure "Always use the selected program to open this type of file" is checked.
    If you do not see it in the list, click the Browse button in this box and it will show folders in the Program Files directory. Double click "Adobe" then Photoshop CS6 (64-bit), then select Photoshop.exe and click "Open". It should add it to the list.
    Click OK and when you double-click on your saved file, it should open in Photoshop.
    Let me know if that worked for you or if you have other questions.

  • Supuid Question: How do you make a new Photo Album on iPhone 3g?

    How do you make a new Photo Album on iPhone 3g?
    When I press photos, it just goes to a screen with Camera Roll and no other buttons to press.
    I have read one article that states to click the "Add" button, but I don't see an Add button or a + button.
    Thanks in advance...

    Thanks for the response.
    So, is there no quick way to put the Camera Roll pictures into an album?
    It seems I have to click on those, send to Mobile Me, then download to my computer and put in the folders I am syncing.
    Not every intuitive at all.
    Thanks again.
