How not to show hiden files

Hello
A Mac Book Pro under 10.8 is showing all the hiden files (this appeared after the data were transferred from a time capsule following the carsh of an iMAcalso operated by 10.8).
Where can I choose the option that will only show files in bold ie not the hiden ones?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best
Pierre

hidden files in Finder
terminal:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE ;killall Finder
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE ;killall Finder
MIGHT NEED TO Relaunch finder to exit  hidden files- the killall command will relaunch the finder
To unhide the user/ library ( ~/Library)
chflags nohidden ~/Library

  • How can i show gif files through reports

    I have blob column in a table and i store text with some gif files there ...i made a report for that and i set the property of blob item like ..file format as "text" and containes html tags "yes" then i generate the report on html but when i see the on html i can see only text not any picture like .gif file ..
    if any body have the solutuion to show .gif files with text then tell me ...
    Thanx..

    hello,
    you say, you store text with gif images in a blob. the question would be, in what format. if you store HTML text there, the images are actually not stored in the document but only references to them. you might then check the src attributes of your IMG tags if they point to valid destinations.

  • 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 NOT to import selected files in FM book to RH?

    I have some files in my FrameMaker book, that I do not wish
    to include in my RoboHelp help system.
    Any ideas on how to handle this the best?
    - Is the best idea just to create a new book in FrameMaker,
    where I have deleted these files?
    - Or is it possible somehow to apply conditional text "not
    for RoboHelp" on file level?
    ... Suggestions are very welcome ...

    FrameMaker 8 books don't support conditional text - you can
    create two books.

  • How not to show tree-root record

    Hello again to everybody! Maybe someone can answer to my question.
    I want not to show the tree-root record. CODE:
    select "PAGE_ID" id,
    "PARENT_PAGE_ID" pid,
    "DESCRIPTION" name,
    null link,
    null a1,
    null a2
    from "#OWNER#"."DEMO_ABOUT"
    So, I want not to show the record "About this application", but tree-root at the same time must be =1.
    Thanks,
    Vera.

    If you could be more clear on that question some one might even help you. With information provided it is very hard to guess what do you want to do. Why don't you say what you have and what you want to get.

  • For some reason, when I access FINDER I only can see my files alphabetically, by kind, date etc. In can't see the "tree" of the folders. How can I show the files contained in a folder as a group?

    How can I:
    - Display the tree structure of the folders.
    - Display my files grouped by folders

    Do you mean when you do a Save, or when you click on the Finder icon on your Dock?
    If it's the former click on the arrow to the right of the Save to reveal full finder.
    If it's the latter show the Finder Sidebar and choose your Home folder.

  • How can I show the file name of the photo?

  • Overall results row - how not to show some columns

    Dear Experts
    I have set results rows enabled at a certain characteristic level.
    So, at the rows level, the results row is showing.
    But at the right-hand-side results columns, some of the keyfigure columns should not be displayed , for example, price should not be summed.
    How can this be achieved using a  query only?
    regards
    Pascal

    HI,
    As i dont have your report layout based on my assumptions i understand that you have put one char in rows column above the strucutre and thats why you are getting result in rows and column as well.
    Now you need to hide the column result which indeed seems no to me i tried same on my system but i can only make the value and result blank but cannot hide the complete result column.
    Please correct me if my understanding is worng or your requirement in something differnent.
    Hope it helps.

  • How can I show the "file," "view," and "format" drop down menus on my tool bar?

    I am a new mac and Pages user.  So far, I think I have a handle on the inspector, but a lot of what I have been looking up requires clicking on the "insert" drop down menu...I don't show that on my screen.  How do I get those menus to appear?  I have discovered how to place the different icons on the tool bar, just not those drop downs.
    I took a screen shot of how it looks.

    For details of how to restore it, see the [[menu bar is missing]] article.

  • How not to show intervals in the extension screen

    hi All.
    I need to have a field where the users can type in several values, but not intervals.
    If I use a select-option with NO-INTERVALS, it will not show the intervals on selection screen, but is still possible to enter intervals in the popup extension screen.
    any help will be welcome.
    thanks,
    Hermes.

    Hi,
    If I use a select-option with NO-INTERVALS, it will not show the intervals on selection screen, but is still possible to enter intervals in the popup extension screen.
    Yes, user still can enter intervals in the popup extension screen.
    Why don't you use two parameters to replace select-options?

    I cannot see the Presets folder. 
    I am assuming this folder is hidden.  How do I go about being able to see/access this folder?

    Are you sure the path is not ~/Library/ ?

  • *MUST READ!!!* HOW NOT TO ERASE YOUR FILES WHEN SYNCING ON A NEW COMPUTER

    Oh my GOD!! This is the biggest breakthrough since the discovery of fire.
    Ever have a time when you had to erase ALL your files on your ipod/iphone/ipad because you are changing computers or your computer was destroyed?
    There is a  solution.
    ****This is needed by ONLY those who was syncing with the itunes on AT LEAST one category.(ex : music, video, app, books, pictures...) on the previous computer you were using.
    If you had not synced with itunes on NO categories at all, and were doing EVERYTHING manually, you will not have any problems on a new computer, so you do not need this information.
    Also, the ones who are trying to sync automatically(Seriously? you want to do that?) with itunes will not need this post. Do not read further.
    So... the ones who are still reading are, 1. Have synced with itunes on at least one category. In my case, I was auto-syncing the application. 2. Have experienced enough frustration with itunes, therefore NOT thinking about syncing with itunes automatically.
    ok. here it goes. When you go to a new computer, CHECK 'manage musics and videos manually'. And other categories(apps, pictures) should NOT be checked 'sync with itunes'. However, when you click apply, it will not work and require you to erase everything on your phone, even though you have pressed manage musics and videos manually. What I am saying is, even if you want to manage it manually, when you connect with a new computer, it will erase all of your data just for fun. Anyway, What you should do when this happens is, click yes. Then, itunes will start to erase all your precious info.
    This is tricky now. 0.2 seconds after you click yes(yes, I will erase all my previous info), PULL OUT the usb cable!! HEH....
    Then, when you put it back in, your iphone data will not have been erased, and the computer thinks that it erased all your files, and will give in to your command and follow your orders. Now you can manually manage your iphone on a new computer without erasing everything.
    I am so happy now.
    ***Disclaimer*** I will not take any responsiblitiy of the happiness caused by this post. Also, I will not take any responsiblity for any data-corruption or any other problems caused by implementing this method, although I am quite confident that as long as you don't take more than 2 seconds to pull the usb cable out after you pressed 'yes, i will erase', it will be okay.
    P.S. If your life became better by this post, please say something below. Heh. Have a nice day.
    P.P.S. Apple. Why do you erase everything on the phone when we decide to no longer sync with itunes? Is it THAT hard to make the option to let the user decide whether to erase the existing data on the phone?
    P.P.S. Just a joke, but, I have once heard that the reason itunes is a memory hogger and take up so much space though it has really few options is because the programmer of itunes copied and pasted the source code 1000000 times.

    Step 1. Backup your library regularly.
    Step 2. After rebuilding/changing computers restore the backup.
