Show hidden files on Mac OS X

I'm eager to learn new things specially when it comes to computers. Now that Apple products are becoming popular here in the Philippines let me share to you some tips and tricks in order for you to enjoy these devices. Here I'm going to teach you some of OS X Terminal commands which will allow you to show hidden files on your Mac devices.

Just follow these simple steps:

1. Open the terminal window

• You can do this by clicking "LaunchPad" then "Utilities" then "Terminal".

2. Type the following commands on the Terminal

• defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE;\killall Finder;\say Files Show

3. Press return

4. Now explore and you should see all your files including some that are hidden before.

When your done exploring and want to change files and folders to hidden again, just type the following commands on the Terminal:

• defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE;\killall Finder;\say Files Hide

Thank you and hope you learn something.
