Hello, my university has a bug called houdinni which hides the file on your USB, not delete them , just hides it... On Windows is very easy to see them again as you just need to open the properties from the USB and click "Show hiden files" but on mac no one knoes how to do it.. Is there any way on mac to access to the hidden files on the USB? Thanks a lot

When I was having the same problem, I solved it with the shortcut given in that address. I hope you will also benefit.

Try this terminal command to show all hidden files on mac os x.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
This will show all files on and drive connected to the system. To turn that off, if you want to after you find what you ar looking for, replace the true with false. Restart the system after you do that command or type in killall Finder in the terminal window and hit the enter/return key after those commands.
I do not recommend downloading what appears to be a program from "just some guy" on the Internet. His example of how it works shows microsoft Windows.
