  1. Hi. You can try these steps:
  2. 1. Open Terminal found in Finder, go to Applications, choose Utilities
  3. 2. In Terminal, paste the following:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
  4. 3. Press return after that.
  5. 4. Hold the ‘Option/alt’ key, then right click on the Finder icon in the dock and click Relaunch.
