May 12, 2012I was frustrated with Google Chrome quiting whenever I accidently pressed command q, so I tried out some terminal commands I found online. One was defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSUserKeyEquivalents '{"Quit Google Chrome" = "@Q"; "Preferences..." = "@;";}' I don't know what the other was. They stopped chrome from quiting with command q, but now I can't quit chrome AT ALL. Is there a way to undo everything I've ever done in terminal? I should not be touching it...

Any nifty terminal commands?

Jan 22, 2009I know on windows allows you to run batch files without actually logging into the OS. This allows you to put an base image onto a PC and use batch files to change settings, place on active directory, and other things without having to log in.
How do I do this with a mac? I want to be able to run 2 command line commands, one after the other once the other is finished, and then add it to Active directory. Would I do this in perl? and how do I get it to run without logging in so I can start it and then move on to other stuff?

OS X :: Hidden The Admin Account From Some Terminal Commands?
Nov 5, 20101) I had two user accounts: one standard, one admin. I had "hidden" the admin account from prying eyes using some Terminal commands (see here if you're interested some months later, I enabled the Open Firmware Password (hence, I can no longer boot into single user mode, boot from CD, etc)3) at some point, I inadvertently reinstalled OS X (don't ask... or do, I'll explain if necessary)4) when logging in, I ONLY have my standard account. My hidden admin account seems to be gone. OS X won't even accept the admin login/pwd when attempting to execute admin-only commands from within the standard account

View 1 Replies View RelatedMacBook Pro :: Undo An Update For It?
Jun 6, 2012I recently bought an M-Audio Fast Track Ultra 8r to use with Logic 9 on my MacBook Pro, but unfortunately it is not compatible with OS X 10.7.4 , and the latest version that it works for is OS X 10.7.3.
I really need this audio interface to work as if I can't get it to work then all the money that I have spent on recording equipment is wasted. Is there any way of me reverting my MacBook Pro back to the 10.7.3 version? And if so, is it going to cause compatibility issues with any of my other software? (I have a horrible feeling that it might)
Applications :: Unable To Use Terminal / Terminal Stucks At Blank Login Window
Oct 20, 2009Anybody see this before? I opened up Terminal.app and the window is completely blank. There is nothing in it whatsoever. Looks as if bash never started. The title bar simply says "Terminal — login — 80x24". I can type whatever I want in the Terminal window like it's a text document and nothing happens. If I restart the computer, this seems to fix the problem, but it seems to only be a temporary fix as the issue happens again soon after.

MacBook Pro :: How To Undo A Content Specific Zoom-in
Jun 6, 2012I'm working via Safari on an online jigsaw puzzle at http://six.flash-gear.com/npuz/puz.php?c=v&id=3274406&k=25952437. The computer zoomed in on the puzzle...a Mac-based zoom-in menu appeared and accidentally flashed on "zoom in"...and now I cannot undo the zoom. All normal methods fail, and part of the puzzle is off-screen. I don't know how to see the rest of the puzzle now. I thought perhaps deselecting "show all" would help, but it won't let me deselect either.

OS X Server :: Processes Started In Terminal End When Terminal Closed?
Jan 29, 2008I'm running Symantec Backup Agent on our mac osx server. I start the agent in the terminal (./agent.be). It returns a notification that it started the service, however, it doesn't return to the prompt. Closing the terminal gives a warning that the process will be closed if the terminal is closed. Closing it does kill the process. Ctrl+c to return to the prompt also kills the process. So it's as if once the process is started in the terminal, nothing can be altered.
I am not much of a mac guy so please forgive me if this is a stupid question.
Anyone have any advice on how to handle this so the process is ALWAYS running?
MacBook :: Slow Running Commands?
Oct 5, 2010I've messed up my MacBook and it's now running really slowly (even just clicking on icons, going into folders and suchlike) and I need to find out the best way to sort out the following issue:
I wanted to back up my pictures and (now realise, foolishly) moved them from iPhoto to my desktop so I could transfer it to an external hard drive. It was hanging and had the spinning beachball. This was 7 days ago; it looks like it's done it and is now running very slowly, I know it's lagging because the clocks shows it is sometimes 10 minutes slow and it's whirring and doing something.
I had unplugged the hard drive in case it was slow due to that and from researching other forums for advice I have been able to check the Activity Monitor - the CPU is fine but the disk space is almost zilch (all blue and no green). I now want to delete the pics off my desktop as I'm sure this is the root of the problem. Is there a simple/easy way or do I really have to be patient, delete and trash them one by one?
As you can tell I am not a full on techie but understand simple instruction, so please if you can help me resolve this, I'd be very grateful.

OS X :: Unable To Install Terminal App - Run Terminal As Admin?
Aug 19, 2010I'm on a standard user account and I would really like to install icalbuddy which is a terminal app. When I install apps normally I simply have to provide a admin name and pw, but this doesn't work when it is a terminal app because it requires that the 'su' command be run.
So I thought that I could run terminal as admin through 'su - admin' and then install. But of course the admin account doesn't have access to the user folder where the installer is located. I just can't win.
