Show hidden files Mac OS X 10.7 Lion and 10.8 Mountain Lion - The home of Mike Hudson So, prior to my upgrade to OS X 10.7 all of my OS related hacks where done using third party tools such as Secrets Prefpane. However, I have decided to try and avoid third party apps as much as possible, and actually try and keep my Lion install as slim as possible. Although this article was originally written for OS X Lion, the command has been tested and proved to work in Mountain Lion and Mavericks as well So here’s my first of what will soon be many OS X terminal commands to do what the third party apps do, without the bloat/overhead. To enable hidden files/folders in finder windows: Open Finder Open the Utilities folder Open a terminal window Copy and paste the following line in: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES Press return Now hold ‘alt’ on the keyboard and right click on the Finder icon Click on Relaunch You should find you will now be able to see any hidden files or folders. defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO Like this: Like Loading...

Unveil Hidden Mac OS X Features With Secrets Everybody knows that tinkering with hidden configurations of any system is not for newbies. Regular users should stay within the boundary of “just using and no screwing”. There are so many disaster stories caused by those who step out of their territories, that we often hear sayings like: “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it” and “If something could go wrong, it will”. But despite the endless warnings, we just can’t keep our hands off. Tell me your Secrets Secrets is a Mac OS X preference pane developed by Blacktree – the same guys who brought us Quicksilver. To download the app, go to the developer’s website and click on the “PrefPane” link. Using it is fairly simple. A window full of modifiable items will appear, ready to be tinkered with to access hidden Mac features. You could go through the applications list one item at a time and change the settings of each one by one, or you could also use the search function if you know which settings that you are looking for.

QEMU Mac OS X… Success! - Mike Levin It’s time for for me to create an up-to-date QEMU on Mac OS X. I had wonderful success yesterday getting QEMU compiled and installed on my Commodore 64x running Linux Ubuntu beta 12.10 yesterday. I’m working from home today on my Macbook Air laptop, so I’ll today, I’m doing it for Mac. My goal is to make the best portable Linux for USB drives that works across Mac, Windows and Linux. I did this before in a proof-of-concept Levinux, cobbling together QEMU binaries from different sources, with inconsistent versions and unencapsulated dependencies. First, we look at the options for getting QEMU on a Mac, and inevitably you end up on the website for a project named “Q”, which has a lot of great characteristics in how it was made to look and work well with the Mac—except that it’s old, and the self-contained packages it creates are very difficult to follow and organize side-by-side with the files required for the other platforms. First thing is what compiler I’m going to use. …on Mac. . ==> .
