How to view and manage hidden files in folders.

Hi all, my question is: How to view and manage hidden files in folders?. I see hidden files in other computer but no in my Mac.
Some of you can help me?
Thanks..

Most hidden files are hidden for a reason.   Tampering with them can seriously affect the stability of the system.
The software Tinkertool can

Can manage the invisibility, which I would only do after backing up your system.

    You cannot encrypt files and folders w/OS X. Create an encrypted disk image, mount it, and store everything in there. Unmount it when finished. BTW, don't forget the password or the data's toast.

    Hi,
    In SharePoint Designer 2010, we could not save the workflow as a template directly except the reusable workflow.
    However, in SharePoint Designer 2013, we can just save all the types workflow as a template, then you can import the workflow into the new environment.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/workflows_for_product_catalogs/archive/2012/11/02/deploying-a-workflow-on-a-different-server.aspx
    In SharePoint Designer 2013, every time we publish the workflow, we would get a newer version workflow, and the old workflow version would be overwritten.
    So, when you deploy the workflow in the environment, the workflow would the newer version.
    Thanks,

  • How can I see the hidden file and erase it?

    I had to make a file starting "." and had to put it on my FTP client. I made it by Text Edit and Microsoft word and save it. Since it is hidden file, I can't see on my Mac but when I use the FTP client and click post, the file listing was showed up and I can check as "Show Hidden file". Then I could post the files on the FTP client. However, since I don't need it on my computer, I'd like to erase it but can't find the files. How can I find the hidden files? Thank you.

    if you know the folder then navigate to that folder. Open the Terminal application in your Utiities folder and do the following::
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

    I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

    Here's an easy way:
    Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
    Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
    That should do it.

  • How can I view and manage disk usage from all user accounts at once?

    I need to clean up the internal drive on my 2009 MBP.  We have 6 accounts on that machine.  Rather than go into each account separately and do some house cleaning, is there some kind of Admin option to view and clean up files for all accounts from one central location?
    Thanks very much,
    Bo

    I guess I am trying to find out if there are any admin tools available for "regular" OS X.  Not OS X server.
    Thanks
