How to view hidden files in Mac OS X

[Fahad]

There are two ways to do this, the 1st one which is the geeky way is by using a terminal, the other one is by downloading the application.

The 1st method:

1) Open Terminal (Application => Utilities => Terminal.app)

2) Type in this code:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder

The 2nd method:


1) Download the application Houdini

2) Press "Toggle File Visibility" to turn off/on file visibility.



That's it!

Enjoy
