I am using ArcMap 10.2. I used the following code to turn all the layers on for the Main Map data Frame.

dFrame = arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(current_mxd,"Main Map")[0]
    for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(current_mxd, "", dFrame):
        lyr.visible = True

Does anyone know how to use ArcPy to turn every layer on for all the data frames?

    for dFrame in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(current_mxd) will cycle through the data frames.. the wildcard is optional.

    All you need is a for before dFrame, an in where the equals is, empty quotes in the ListDataFrames, and to remove the array index.

You use the same coding pattern for looping through your data frames as you do for looping through your layers.

for dFrame in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(current_mxd):
    for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(current_mxd, "", dFrame):
        lyr.visible = True
