How To Show All Files on the Mac
There are two ways to show the hidden files on your Mac. First, the hard way: Using the Terminal. "Terminal" is a program that advanced users typically use... If you click Go in the apple menu bar (finder), and then you click Utilities, you will come to a folder that has the Terminal application. Start Terminal by double clicking the icon. Next, Type the following into the terminal:
defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
Press Enter, then type:
killall FINDER
Press Enter again.
The above procedure isn't too much of a hassle if you have to do it once... but why not make it easier? If you find yourself regularly toggling between showing all files, and hiding them, try downloading our free program that switches back and forth with the click of a button.
