Unhide folders in OS X
January 01, 2013
I frequently find myself having to copy or dig into the Library folder on my Mac. Apple has decided to make the folder hidden, so I usually press CMD-SHIFT-G
on the keyboard and type out my path. But here is another option:
Open Terminal, and type:
$ chflags nohidden ~/Library
This will work for any folder that is hidden, and if you change your mind, just change nohidden
to hidden
to hide it again.
