buoo Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 There are at least two different ways to do it. You can use one these simple applications: ShowAllFiles or InVisibles The second way is to use the Terminal in two steps. 1) Open the Terminal /Applications/Utility/Terminal and type: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true 2) Now type: killall Finder Mission accomplished, the hidden files are now visible. To re-hide the files again: 1) Open the Terminal and type: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false 2) Now type: killall Finder 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/277558-how-can-i-show-hidden-files/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
