Why can you never see a crescent Jupiter from Earth?

Jupiter always appears as a full disk or a nearly full disk when viewed from Earth because it is much larger and closer to the Sun than the Earth. This means that the angle between the Sun, Jupiter, and Earth is such that we always see most of Jupiter illuminated. A crescent phase, where only a portion of Jupiter is illuminated, is not possible due to this alignment.

Which planet in the solar system shows the giant red spot as viewed from the earth?

It was only during spacecraft missions to Jupiter that crescent views of the planet were obtained. A small telescope will usually show Jupiter's four Galilean moons and the prominent cloud belts across Jupiter's atmosphere. A large telescope will show Jupiter's Great Red Spot when it faces the Earth.

Why is ganymede hidden?

Ganymede isn't "hidden"; it is just too close to Jupiter to see it without a telescope. When Galileo pointed his telescope at Jupiter, he was astonished to find four other small things that appeared to stay close to Jupiter. They were named Ganymede, Callisto, Europa and Io, and are sometimes called the "Galilean moons". Day by day, you can see them orbiting Jupiter, their positions different each day.
