DVD no more and Terminal window woes?

Two issues here:
#1
Today I updated my OSX 10.3.9 with the very latest updates. (I bought iLife '05 and the instructions recommended this). After this update I can no longer mount any DVD discs [data, (not even iLife '05 install) movie's, etc.] DVD's do not appear on the desktop, the Finder side bar, or in the Disk Utility window. CD's work fine though. For the last couple month's, (actually since moving up to 10.3.9) movie DVD's have been problematic ... frequently needing force quits of DVD Player, restarting with the DVD inserted to force it to mount, etc. Today's update has killed it altogether.
#2
After doing everything imaginable (repair permissions, dump caches, zap pram, etc.), I went to the terminal to update prebinding as a last ditch effort to find a solution, but now the terminal window apppears as only the very top left corner of the window with just a close button and enough room to double click it to minimize it into the dock. I cannot expand the window to see anything. I've again repaired permissions, dumped cache files, run MacJanitor, zapped the pram, you name it.
Summary:
Now I've lost DVD capability (and hence cannot boot from my old 10.3.3 install disc because it's on DVD) and my termial is non accessible.
The plea:
"Help, I've updated ... and I can't get up!"
Help would be so appreciated!
G4 MDD Dual 1.25ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Thanks for the help!
The font issue sounds likely since I also recently went through all of my fonts with Font Doctor and reorganized everything with FontAgent Pro. I thought I had left system fonts untouched but maybe something happened inadvertantly. I'll check it out.
Regarding the DVD, I tried, as you suggested, restarting w/ option key and the OSX 10.3.3 DVD did not show up. I'm wondering though, CD's (both data and audio) mount just fine. It seems if there were truly a hardware issue, CD's would not mount either. Thoughts on this? (I'd just hate to buy a new DVD drive if it's is not the real problem.)
Thanks again and happy New Year!

Closing Terminal window tabs shrinks Terminal window height

Open a Terminal window, press Command-T to create a tab, and then Ctrl-D to close that new tab, the Terminal window height decreases by one row.
This most certainly appears to be a bug. How do I report this to Apple?

I am also experiencing this problem, however if you use the Basic setting the problem doesn't exist.
I am using Novel and I have the problem. It's quite annoying.
I noticed that if you set the fontsize to 12 then this problem exhibits, however if I change the size to 11pt or 10pt (10 is the default for Basic, 12 is default for Novel) then I don't have the bug.

If I have a program that runs in windows under the command prompt and on Mac in the Terminal window, can it be run in iOS

I have a program that is ran using the command line in windows and the terminal window on Mac or LInux. Is it possible to create an app for the iPad that could run this program. This program does require admin rights.

No.

I think there is a problem with the latest version of Firefox. When you minimize one window (doesn't matter how many tabs) on Mac, it automatically minimizes all of the other open windows. This never used to happen.

Whenever you have multiple windows open - say one is your Gmail account and the other is a bunch of pages you're using at work - and then you go to minimize the window with Gmail but intend to continue working on the other open windows. Using Command-M (the minimize shortcut for Macs) unfortunately now sends all open windows to the minimize bar in the lower right. Which means - every time I go to look at Gmail, then put it away, I have to reclick to open all of the other windows I was working in. Can this be fixed? It never used to happen.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to the latest version of Firefox

Because OS X 10.4* does not have what is needed by Firefox 4.0 and newer.
Linux users are in a similar boat also as they need certain package versions within the last few years as LTS distros (with outdated packages from 4+ years ago) like CentOS is a bit screwed on newer applications like Firefox 4.0. By your logic Mozilla should also support Linux packages from 10 years ago also which would be a really ridiculous thing to do.
I think only the 64-bit Windows Vista and Windows 7 is really supported or will be rather when it comes to 64-bit builds (still not officially supported yet).
Mozilla is still supporting Firefox 3.6 with updates, in which 3.6.16 can be found at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Keyboard shortcuts: adding service to open a Terminal window not being saved

Hi
Objective: A shortcut to open a terminal window with the path of the 'in-focus' Finder window (Mavericks).
Solution (that doesn't work): Apple Menu/System Preferences/Keyboard
Select: Shortcuts
Select: Services
Check box for: New Terminal At Folder
Close System Preferences
This approach seems to be advised on quite a few sites. When I do it, the service I add simply doesn't get saved. I go back into the System Preferences and look under the path above and see that the box for New Terminal Åt Folder is unchecked.
Any help in being able to achieve my objective would be greatly appreciated :-)

Those things are saved as part of the workspace. It sounds as if the current workspace file has become corrupt. Close ID, then go to your user profile and you'll find the workspaces folder under \Application Data\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\<language>\Workspaces. Delete the "current" xml file for the workspace and restart ID. The workspace will be restored to the conditions set when it was saved, but hopefully will remember changes again when you close the program.

Code to close terminal window?

I am running code in an IDE and want to be able to have any existing terminal window close before the code is run. This way I don't have to keep closing them manually every time I run the code again. I'm coding in C. Any ideas?
Thanks

What about setting the
Terminal -> Preferences -> Settings -> Shell -> When the shell exits: Close the window
Now just make sure that the last thing your script does is exit from the shell and your window will be closed.
Then again, do you "Really" need a Terminal session to run your code?
That is to say, running programs and scripts can be done without needing a terminal session. The Terminal session is just a window to the command line, and you do not need to display anything via the Terminal display, then there is no reason to have it open to run your program.
You can use Applescript ("do shell script" statement), or Automator ("run shell script" action), or you can use a 3rd party utility such as Platypus that will put your program or script in a double clickable app that does not need a Terminal session.
Another option is to use a different Terminal emulator, such as iTerm which also has the ability to close the window when the shell exits. It can even automatically quit iterm when the last window is closed.

(SOLVED) Closing a terminal window

When I am through using the terminal window, I hit the X at the top right corner but get this message: There is still a process running in this terminal. Closing the terminal will kill it.
Why do I get this? I think I have nothing running. is there a bug?

It is complaining because you are still running su. That's a fair warning, not a bug.
If you don't like it, use sudo instead. It's safer anyway than leaving a terminal sitting around in su-mode for arbitrary lengths of time.
Edit: btw, if you have run su to gain root access, and you want to close the terminal, you can get out of su by typing "exit". Then you should be able to close the terminal.
But really, don't use su. That's just asking for trouble. Sudo is your friend.

'Run' terminal window not closing

I have an Java application which I have created an installation package for using InstallAnywhere.
On Solaris when launching the application using the alias from a terminal window it works fine. But, when I launch the application from the File Manager, by double-clicking, it creates an 'extra' terminal window called 'Run', this terminal window doesn't terminate when I exit my application.
How can I prevent this, can I prevent the 'Run' window from starting using some sort of setting, or can I somehow make sure it is closed togheter with the application?
On Linux (SuSE10) the OS asks how I would like to run my application so I don't have the same problem there.

Terminal Window asking for password when opening

I don't know what happens but everytime I open a terminal window its ask me for password. If I type my admin password it starts saying that can't found my ~ directory and starts in :/ instead of :~
It is also showing ttys001 instead of 000 as usual.
I don't know what it is, I think it have some relation with closing terminal windows without logging out of a ssh section, but I don't know how to resolve it. I tried reboot, "exit", delete com.apple.terminal
Any sugestion?

This is just a wild guess, but might there be a "sudo" command in a file in your home directory that's run when you launch a Terminal session, such as .bash_profile, .bash_login, or .profile? (This list assumes that you're using bash as your shell.)

Terminal window jumps on move

If I have a terminal window open, am working in a different program, and I immediately move the terminal window, the terminal window will initially follow the pointer, and then it will jump back to the original position. It will then continue to move following the pointer, but will have a separation of anywhere between a fraction of an inch to several inches, depending on the speed of movement with my mouse.
It is almost as though it jumps back.
This will not happen if I change the focus back to terminal and then move the window.
It happens even with multiple tabs.
I can't find anything searching the web, so I decided to post.

Hi game,

Terminal window blinking cursor will not accept keyboard entry

Have SunBlade100 w/ Solaris8.
This is probably a dumb beginner question...
When I enter certain commands at the terminal window - in this particular case
# cat /dev/cua/a
and I hit <return> the cursor skips to the next line, and
continues blinking , and will not accept any keyboard entries.
1. What is the significance of this? Is the cursor waiting further action, and if so, what?
2. How do I get back to the prompt?
3. Under this condition, is it safe to exit the terminal window by closing from the Window menu? (I can't type "exit" because the cursor won't accept keyboard entries, and Help for "closing the terminal" warns against closing from the Window menu because any background processes will not be terminated (and this may cause problems).
Thanks in advance for any info on this.

Thanks again for the info. <control>+C was exactly what I was looking for. It's coming back to me now-- the last time I had contact w/ UNIX was back in '85 at UC Berkeley (no GUI's back then!).
I'm assuming that <control>+C is a graceful (i.e. relatively harmless way to exit the command.

Closing active terminal window with applescript

I made a very basic script to lock my screen, and I like how it works. Some of my co-workers would also like it but it has one problem.
When the script runs, a terminal box pops up at the end saying [process complete]. I can click through this and I don't care, they do.
I can't just killall terminal because we use terminal and that could kill our work.
We sometimes need to see output from a script and like the process complete, so don't want to reconfigure our systems to never display it.
I'm trying to find a way to use applescript or something to kill the active terminal window, or the window with the title of LockScreen or something.
Anyone have an idea?
I was hoping something like this would exist but it doesn't seem to: tell application "Terminal" to close window

Here is an easy approach. Start Applications -> Automator
Select Application
In Automator search for "Start Screen Saver". This should be under Library->Utilities
Drag "Start Screen Saver" to the right side panel.
Save the Automator app.
If the user has System Preferencs -> Security -> Require Password ... set, then one the screen saver has started running, it will require the user to enter their password before getting control back.
This Automator app can be double clicked, it will not require the terminal.
With respect to your script. If this is a shell script, AND if you wish to continue using it, then you could create an Automator app that uses "Run Shell Script" under Automator Library->Utilities. This will also NOT require the use of Terminal, however, be aware that when Automator runs a shell script it DOES NOT have the same environment as when you are running a shell script at your Terminal prompt. There are very few environment variables set, and for example the USER, HOME, current working directory, PATH, etc... may not be the same. If you have dependencies on specific environment information, you may want to write a simple automator script the using "Run Shell Script" to output various environment information into a file so you can see what you have to work with
(id -a
pwd
echo "$#"
echo "$@"
printenv
) >/tmp/automator.environment.txt

How to open a terminal window in a path currently visible in the Finder?

I often need to open a terminal window with the current visible folder (a long, deep path) as the working directory.
In Windows I used to have the little "Open command window here..." hack available in the context menu in Explorer.
How can I achieve the same on OS X to avoid tediously typing the path?

open a finder window and navigate to one-level above
this visible folder.
open a terminal window.
drag the folder of interest from the finder window
into the terminal window. now you see the whole path
to that folder has been typed out for you....
so, if you wanted to 'cd' into that folder in
terminal, you'd type cd, then a space, into the
terminal window, then drag that folder in there from
the finder, then hit return.... viola!
If the folder you want is already open, you can drag the icon at the top of the Finder window. You don't have to go one level up.

Whenever I launch a new Google window, Google immediately re-opens all other windows I happen to have open but minimized. I then have to either close or re-minimize each window, one at a time. What a pain!!

Just to address the last point: check your History menu to see whether you have the Restore Previous Session option and use that if you can. If that is grayed out or doesn't restore everything, check the Recently Closed Windows and Recently Closed Tabs lists for other pages.
The unwanted window may be generated by an add-on. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Here are some other things to check:
(1) user.js file that changes Firefox startup behavior and overrides your preferences. This article describes how to track that down and delete it if you have one: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
(2) Possible hijacked shortcut. Check the "target" of the desktop icon you use to start Firefox to see whether it lists the unwanted page. To do that:
right-click the icon > Properties > Shortcut tab
For 64-bit Windows 7, the Target should be no more and no less than this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
(3) Possible undisclosed bundle items. If you have installed any free software recently, check your Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a program for surprises. If you click the "Installed on" column head to group by date, it is easier to spot bundled junk. Remove everything suspicious or unrecognized.
(4) Supplemental clean up scans. Our support article lists tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
Hopefully that cures it.
