Show hidden files in MAC OS X

December 5, 2008 by John Tran · Leave a Comment 

If you would like to show hidden files in MAC OS X then launch terminal and type in the following commands

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

It can get a bit annoying when you can see all files so if you would like to hide the files again then just replace TRUE with FALSE
