View Hidden Files and Folders on Your Mac With Terminal

Configurare noua (How To)

Situatie

Your Mac has a few secrets, hidden folders, and files that are invisible to you. Many of you may not even realize how much-hidden data there is on your Mac, from basic things, such as preference files for user data and apps, to core system data that your Mac needs to run correctly. Apple hides these files and folders to prevent you from accidentally changing or deleting important data that your Mac needs.

With Terminal, a simple command is all it takes to get your Mac to spill its secrets.

Solutie

  1. Launch Terminal, located at /Applications/Utilities/.
  2. Type or copy/paste the commands below into the Terminal window, one at a time, pressing ENTER after each one.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
4. Entering the two lines above into Terminal will allow you to use the Finder to display all of the hidden files on your Mac. The first line tells the Finder to display all files, regardless of how the hidden flag is set. The second line stops and restarts the Finder, so the changes can take effect. You may see your desktop disappear and reappear when you execute these commands; this is normal.
