ok so hope this isn't a stupid question, but how do i unhide a folder, i copied my iPod music from my iPod to the mac, but now the folder labeled music, is hidden, i found a way to unhide all the folders on the mac, but i don't want that i just want to unhide one specific folder, is there a way to do that?

if the folder has a period at the beginning of the name it will be hidden, taking out the period should make it appear as normal

To Hide, Do this in TERMINAL

chflags hidden <path to directory>



To Reveal, Do this in TERMINAL

chflags nohidden <path to directory>


To access terminal, go to UTILITIES then TERMINAL.
To know the <path to directory> of a particular file/folder, open terminal then drag and drop the file inside the terminal window. The <path to directory> will reveal.

Hope this helps
