Case Sensitive file names on MacOS in innodb db

For many years I have used innodb for my databases. My table naming convention has been camel case. I recently upgraded my Macbook and I now find that MySql cannot find any of my tables that are camel cased. I now have hundreds of tables, spanning dozens of databases, that are inaccessible .

MacOS: Sierra
MySql: 5.6.35

SHOW TABLES displays all tables as named in mixed case.
Directory listing in the file system shows all the files as named in mixed case.

SELECT * FROM myCamelCase --> displays error: Table 'mycamelcase' doesn't exist . (Note that the table name in the error is lower case.)

I tried renaming the files to all lower case in the file system. SHOW TABLES and the directory listing show the all lower case table/file names as expected. But a SELECT statement still yields the same error.
