How to view hidden folders on a Mac

Dec 30, 2008 04:11

No juicy information here. I'm mainly just posting this because I know I'll need to know it again later, and I feel like using livejournal as my receptacle for useful information.

Anyway, how to view hidden folders on a Mac:
1. In finder, go to Applications/Utilities/Terminal and launch Terminal.
2. Enter defaults write com.apple.finder ( Read more... )

No, I think this is pretty juicy.
Maybe not juicy like a ripe pineapple...but definitely like juicy fruit gum. Or maybe fruit stripe gum.
mmm.

I think it's more Bubblicious (Lightning Lemonade flavor) juicy. Juicy Fruit and Fruit Stripe taste amazing, but they lose their flavor too quickly (especially the latter).

You know, just yesterday I was trying to figure out how to get music from an ipod to a computer. Seriously.

But it doesn't help, because I can't find Terminal.

Ah well.

If you're using Windows, you don't use Terminal. When you're in your iPod folder, go to Tools, Folder Options, and click the View tab. There'll be a long list of options, so find the one that says "View Hidden Files and Folders" and check it. That's for Windows XP. I've never done it in Vista, so I'm not sure if works the same way or not.
