Hi all, You might need to view hidden files on a mac at times. Here is the command which you can use to view hidden files on a mac. Open a terminal window and type the following command and press return. defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE After that, you need to restart your Finder to make the changes visible. killall Finder Now you can view all the hidden files. If you want to hide the hidden files back to the original settings, simply run the same command with parameter to FALSE defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE Again restart the finder by typing killall Finder That's all for now folks :)
