how do I show hidden files?
iMac 27″, macOS 10.12
Choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Script Editor, and run the following:
tell application "Finder" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
tell application "Finder" to run

do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
tell application "Finder" to run

Try the key combination ⌘ ⇧ .
(Command Shift Period)
It toggles between hiding and not hiding files with the "hidden" attribute.
Might not work on all Macs; I don't know.
This worked once I figured out how to run Script Editor! Thanks!
Didn't try this as the first answer worked for me. Now that hidden files are showing, don't want to mess it up. Thanks for your help.
