Enable or disable hidden folders in MAC OS X

Enable or disable hidden folders in MAC OS X


  • For Enable/show


Open a Terminal 

Execute this command 


defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true



  • And to hide/disable


Execute this in the terminal


defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false

And if it didn't take effect, try logout and login

But if you are not comfortable with Terminals, many apps are available , which helps to do this from UI itself 
ex: invisiblix
