Easily View Invisible Files in Mac OS X’s Finder
Exactly one year ago, Cal wrote in to ask, “I once had ‘hidden files’ on my mac – running tiger. Now every application and file is visible, but ghosted back. How can I undo the view hidden files?” I am sorry, Cal, that I am only responding to this question now. I recently bought a 5th generation iPod nano, and I spent an hour last night troubleshooting a problem that was preventing me from uploading my recent runs to the Nike+ website. To properly solve this problem, I needed to manipulate invisible/hidden files and folders. I normally do this through the Terminal, since it is easy to access any kind of file there. The reality, though, is that most people using Mac OS X want a way to access invisible files through the Finder, and luckily this is quite easy to do.
First, you need to download a great Dashboard widget called “Hidden Files.” This widget is ultra simple: it has one button that toggles between the words “Show” and “Hide.”
All you need to do is open Dashboard to access this widget. You can open Dashboard by pressing F4 (or a different F-Key if you have changed this setting), selecting Dashboard from your Dock, or opening it from the /Applications folder.
When you press the button while it says Show, Hidden Files will enable the Finder setting that shows invisible files. It then restarts the Finder so that you can see these changes. You can then see all of your hidden and invisible files!
As you can see from the above screenshot, I can now see the dozens of invisible files and folders in my home folder. These files are “grayed out,” which is how the Finder indicates that a file or folder is invisible.
Once you are done viewing the invisible files, you can return them to their natural, hidden state by opening Dashboard again. This time, you will notice that the button on the Hidden Files widget has changed from “Show” to “Hide.” Press the “Hide” button. Hidden Files will change the invisibility setting and restart the Finder to make these changes take effect.

I have already written a guide on how to use Mac OS X’s excellent Spotlight for file searching, but that guide assumes that Spotlight is working properly. Sometimes, though, the Spotlight engine can stop indexing new files and emails. By the time you notice, it may have been weeks or even months since Spotlight updated its database. Luckily, there’s an easy way to get Spotlight’s engine back up and running.
Most people don’t mess with Spotlight’s settings — and for good reason: it just works. But you can change which drives, folders, and types of files Spotlight indexes. When Spotlight stops indexing your hard drive (which is probably called “Macintosh HD”), make these changes in the Spotlight system preference to fix the problem:
Open System Preferences and click on the Spotlight preference.Click on the Privacy tab.Now check to see if your hard drive is listed under “Prevent Spotlight from searching these locations.”If it is, click on your hard drive in the window and then press the minus button to remove it from the list. Quit System Preferences, and you’re done. Spotlight light should go back to indexing your drive (which could take some time).
If the drive is not listed here, add it to the list, either by dragging the hard drive icon into the window or by pressing the plus button and adding your hard drive. Then quit System Preferences.Reopen System Preferences now, select Spotlight again, and again click on the Privacy tab. Now you want to remove the hard drive you just added to the privacy list (click on the hard drive in the list and press the minus button). Quit System Preferences, and Spotlight should begin reindexing your drive.It may take some time before Spotlight begins indexing your drive (and even more time before it finishes). While Spotlight is indexing your drive, do not expect to get accurate search results! Wait until it finishes.
If the above steps do not solve your Spotlight indexing problem, you can delete the entire Spotlight index and reindex your drives — if you’re willing to perform commands in the Terminal.
Warning! Performing commands in the Terminal as sudo can cause damage to the contents of your hard drive if typed incorrectly. Be careful.Run the following commands in the Terminal:sudo mdutil -i off /sudo rm -rf /.Spotlight*sudo mdutil -i on /sudo mdutil -E /If, however, you are using File Vault on your user account, the Spotlight index is stored in your user account, so you would run the following commands instead. Replace username with the name of your user account:
sudo mdutil -i off /sudo rm -rf /Users/username/.Spotlight*sudo mdutil -i on /sudo mdutil -E /These commands turn off Spotlight, remove the Spotlight index, turn Spotlight back on, and then ask Spotlight to immediately begin indexing your drives.
