Change in Terminal Behavior

I upgraded computers and OSs - was using Terminal 1.4.6 on my G4. Now have a G5 with Terminal 1.5.
On the G4, when I entered "bbedit /file/location/" in Terminal, BBedit would automatically start up and open the file.
When I try this on the G5 I get a Command not found error.
I can't figure out why this would have changed (though I am at about the kindergarten level when it comes to Unix, etc.)
Is there a command I can use in the G5 that would do the same thing?
iMac G5 2.1GHz PowerPC Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Not the Unix scripting tools checkbox. When you install BBEdit it asks you if you want to install the command line tools. I'm guessing your path to the tools is messed or the tools are missing.
You can reinstall the command line tools by clicking on the 'Install Command Line Tools' button in the Tools section of the BBEdit preferences.

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

Undoing changes to Terminal to access Facebook in Vietnam

Hello everyone,
I've been having some problems with my Mac ever since I visited Vietnam. Facebook is blocked their, and so I followed instructions found here: http://www.travelfish.org/blogs/saigon/2011/05/18/accessing-facebook-in-vietnam- for-mac/ to make it so my Mac could access FB again. It worked perfectly well during my stay, but when I left and flew to Thailand my computer comes up with an error and won't let me access Facebook. The following comes up:
Invalid URL
The requested URL "/", is invalid.
Reference #9.54e0fc7d.1337522864.1c5fab6
I'm not certain the changes I made to Terminal are the cause of my problem, but as I don't know much about the program and really can't think of any of reason why it wouldn't work, I was wondering if anyone could help me undo the changes to Terminal, or of they know the cause of this error walk me through how to get Facebook to work for me again. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi! Can you share the wealth on how you reversed this? I am having the same exact problem. Followed some message boards on how to access Facebook in Vietnam, and now my laptop won't let me in Bali. Help! Thanks

Gordon, it looks like its been a while since you made this post. Not sure how valid it is now...   I am particularly interested in the LigatureLevel.NONE value. It seems that it is no longer supported.
How do I turn of ligatures in the font rendering?
My flex project involves trying to match the font rendering of Apache's Batik rendering of SVG and ligatures have been turned off in that codebase. Is there any way (even roundabout) to turn ligatures off in flash?
Thanks,
Om

Changing (overriding) default behavior of af:inputText

Hi all,
Is it possible to change the default behavior of the <af:inputText> or add a new one by overriding CoreInputText . e.g: like oracle forms, enter button to navigate to next item.
Thanks in advance,
Ahmad Esbita

InputTexts are more than enough for me, but I was wondering if I can add some kind of functionality to them and if yes, how ?
In my post the example was :"enter button to navigate" , some people are used to the idea of enter button navigation such as accountants ,they also relay on the mouse poorly when they are working,and what if we are asked to provide this property, and thats all.
Regards,
Ahmad Esbita

How can I change the termination character (Hex 00) in LabVIEW?

I'm talking to a 3rd party device over USB where I make function calls to their DLL. I send and receive Hex commands as Strings data type. I can send without problem however when I read back a string that should be Hex "FF 00 FF", I get back "FF" because LabVIEW sees 00 as a termination character so I don't get any data past the 00. Likewise if I'm supposed to read "00 FF", I get back nothing! The following KB linked below explains that LabVIEW sees 00 as a termination character. It shows where using Serial to change the termination character to something else. I don't have this option using my 3rd party USB device. Is there a way to change what LabVIEW sees as it's termination character?
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/9A3589A05F21A1B186256CE9006448D4

That article is talking about two things. The first has to do with the fact that in C strings are terminated using 0x00. The second part has to do with a serial port read terminating once it sees 0x00. Based on what you described, I don't believe the second part does not apply to you since you are calling a third-party DLL, so it's doing the serial port read. Is this correct? Or, are you actually doing the serial port read yourself using VISA functions? If you are just calling their DLL, then the issue has to do with the string being passed back from the DLL to LabVIEW. You're probably passing in a string datatype. You should simply change this to a byte array so you get all the values.

How do I change mouse button behavior in firefox to make new mouse shortcuts?

Hi,
For some time now I've wondered if it is possible to easily change the default behavior of mouse buttons in Firefox. What I'd like to do is define a new mouse button combination which replicates the function of an already-defined keyboard shortcut. In particular, currently, when one holds down the shift key while left-clicking the mouse while over a link, that link is opened in a new window. What I'd like to do is to have exactly the same behavior occur when I click and hold the left mouse button while pressing and releasing the right mouse button. This then makes opening a link in a new window a menu-less, one-handed operation.
Anyone have any ideas how this might be done? Thanks!

Hello,
Does this addon - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mousecontrol/ meet your requirement? Also, you can check the list of mouse shortcuts here [[Use mouse shortcuts to perform common tasks in Firefox]]
Hope this helps.

Pickyfont - change your terminal font on the fly

While I'm getting older my eyes are too. I looked for some way to change the
terminal font on the fly, like you can do with 'setfont' in the VT. I found
none, so I came up with this, nothing fancy but quite handy.

Handy tool, dmz thanks.
In my case I often specify both *font and *boldFont values in my Xdefaults since terminus doesn't include bold letters at the smaller sizes.
Pickyfont doesn't appear to set/change the boldFont if it was previously specified.
I found a different escape sequence to switch fonts at runtime:
# normal font
printf "\033]710;%s\007" "${font}"
# bold font
printf "\033]711;%s\007" "${bold_font}"
See http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt- … 00886.html for a urxvt perl extension.
Edit: it all in man 7 urxvt
XTerm Operating System Commands
"ESC ] Ps;Pt ST"
Ps = 50 Set fontset to Pt, with the following special values of Pt (rxvt) #+n change up n #-n change down n if n is missing of 0, a value of 1 is used empty change to font0 n change to font n
Ps = 710 Set normal fontset to Pt. Same as Ps = 50.
Ps = 711 Set bold fontset to Pt. Similar to Ps = 50 (Compile styles).
Ps = 712 Set italic fontset to Pt. Similar to Ps = 50 (Compile styles).
Ps = 713 Set bold-italic fontset to Pt. Similar to Ps = 50 (Compile styles).

Change keyboard tab behavior

This one is tough to search for, with so much duplicity of meaning in the words key, tab, navigate, etc.
I have a tabular form where the optimal way to navigate is to go down each column instead of across each row; i.e. when the tab key is pressed, I want the focus to change from the current cell to the cell in the same column but immediately below the current cell.
I looked at html tabindex, and I'm not sure how to make that work.
So: can tabindex be used to change the navigation behavior of the tab key? Or, is there another way to change the tab key behavior to go column by column instead of row by row?
TIA.
Rick.

Rick - I know that is possible (in theory) to trap the keystroke using JavaScript and replace it (or, do a focus() call or similar to move the focus to another element), but figuring out where you are in the table can get quite hairy.
To be honest, it's one of these things we've been meaning to implement on one of our apps (our issue is moving to the next element when the user presses ENTER), but haven't got round to yet.
I'd therefore be very interested to hear if you crack it (either using JS or some other method).
Cheers,
John.

Terminal Behavior

I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this question, but trust someone will direct me to the proper forum if not. I have a terminal program called MacWise that I use to connect to a remote Unix machine. I'm getting strange keyboard behavior, when I log in and type the password. I see the Edit tab flash and that messes up what I'm typing, I can backspace deleting what I've typed and reenter which usually works. When I'm logged into the remote machine, sometimes lower case characters are changed to uppercase.
I thought perhaps it was just the application, but today I tried to ping a site using Apple's terminal program and when I typed ping it automatically changed the p to uppercase.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on here?

Trying to make changes in Terminal but can't get past the password request

I am trying to run Piano Wizard from a managed accout but I get this: Data.pwf missing
I found these FIX instructions on their web site but I can't get it to work....
METHOD1: If you know the password of the owner account of the machine. Please follow only these instructions. The changes outlined below will modify only the Piano Wizard files.
Terminal: (These instructions are for a standard install with the game installed to Applications) refers to the user account that owns the machine – you will have to know the name of this admin user (i.e. bob)
1. Launch Terminal (Applications->Utilities->Terminal)
2. "cd /Applications"
3. "su "
4. enter the password and hit enter
5. "chmod -R 755 Piano Wizard.app/"
We are now done - close Terminal by hit COMMAND-Q (Apple-Q) That's it - launch Piano Wizard
When I launch Terminal I get - "computer name":~"admin name"$, I follow steps 1-3 not problem...
I get to step #4, put in my password then I get this "su: Sorry"
Please help, I only know of one password...is there another one somewhere?
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Run the following command:
chmod -R 755 Piano\ Wizard.app
Spaces and other special characters need to be escaped when entering commands into the Terminal; this can be done by putting a backslash in front of them, or enclosing some or all of the string in quote marks:
chmod -R 755 'Piano Wizard.app'

How do I change the download behavior so that the "save as" radio button is selected by default instead of "open with" in the download window?

For most file types whose download behavior is set to "always ask" the "save as" option is selected by default in the download window. However, for a few others the "open with" option is selected instead.
Note that Firefox is not automatically opening some files instead of saving them. I still get to choose between saving or opening them, but certain file types start with "open" selected whereas for others "save" is the default.
What I'm looking for is a way to change all file types to default to "save as" in the download window.

see : [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/change-firefox-behavior-when-open-file Change what Firefox does when you click on or download a file]

How to fix changes in Terminal due to blocked Facebook in Vietnam

Hello, all.
I recently went on a trip to Vietnam where access to Facebook is blocked by the government. I googled how to get around the blocks and came across this website:
http://www.travelfish.org/blogs/vietnam/2011/05/18/accessing-facebook-in-vietnam -for-mac/
After applying the changes as directed I was still unable to access Facebook, presumably because the loophole had already been closed by the government.
Now that I am back in Thailand, where I live, I am still unable to access Facebook. I get a "Network Error" message along with this description:
"A communication error occured: 'connection reset by peer.' The web server may be down, busy, or experiencing other problems preventing it from responding to requests."
I figured that the easiest way to fix the problem would be to go into Terminal and simply delete the changes I have made. However, whenever I input "sudo nano/etc/hosts I get the following message:
"sudo: nano/private/etc/hosts: command not found"
I would really appreciate if someone could help me fix this problem as I need to access Facebook to promote my business.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to respond.

The host file has been modified by someone (you?). Whatever application that was used to modify the file left Window's line endings (CRLF). If you are not comfortable using a unix text editor then download TextWrangler.
The following is an unmodified host file.
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1       localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1             localhost
fe80::1%lo0     localhost
You can attempt to replace the modified host file with the text above or re-install the operating system.

Employee Group Change after terminating an employee

Hi,
My company has SAP HR Configuration setup...
When I execute an action "Terminated" for an employee a group of ITs are triggered (0014, 0015, 0026) and after saving them i still see the employee Active in IT 0001.
Can any one help me out with this issue ?

Ajay,
Thanks for the reply.
Actually while urdergoing the action "Termination", IT 0001 is triggered and i changed the EE group to terminated but after saving the record its not reflected in IT0001.
It still shows the EE Group to be Active.
If this is not the field to be looked at, how can you differentiate Terminated and active employees.

Changes to mailbox behaviors not being saved.

Hey guys,
I have two Google accounts set up on Apple Mail. When I try to edit the Mailbox Behaviors (under Preferences>Accounts>Mailbox Behaviors) they are never saved. My steps are:
1. Go to Mailbox Behaviors
2. Uncheck Drafts & Sent
3. Click the other account, choose another tab, or close preferences
4. Dialog appears asking if I want to save the changes
5. I choose to SAVE.
6. Go back into Mailbox Behaviors - the changes were not saved (i.e. everything is still checked).
Any ideas? I'm running 10.9 on a retina Macbook Pro.

OK...my previous attempt didnt work as the settings came back after a full sync. However, I found another thread that solved my problem. Hope this helps!

Re: Mavericks Mail app and Gmail Drafts folder
Oct 24, 2013 10:30 AM (in response to Igor D.)
I had the same problem and it was causing dozens of versions of autosaved drafts to appear in my Trash. (Gmail autosaves drafts at the server level and trashes previous saves. The feature is not customizable.)
This fixed it for me, at least for the time being:
1) Quit Mail.app.
2) Log into Gmail in your favorite web browser.
3) Click on the gear menu and select "Settings".
4) Click on the "Labels" tab.
5) Under "System Labels", next to "Drafts", click on "show if unread" and uncheck the "Show in IMAP' box.
Now disable "Store draft messages on the server":
6) Launch Mail.app.
7) Select Mail > Preferences...
8) Click on the "Accounts" button in the toolbar.
9) Click once on the account name and then click the "Mailbox Behaviors" tab.
10) Uncheck the "Store draft messages on the server" box.
11) Close the window and opt to save your changes when prompted.
A few other Gmail / Mavericks Mail.app discoveries:
* You must enable the "Show in IMAP" option for the "All Mail" label in Gmail if you had it disabled before. (Google this tip for explanations and ramifications.)
* Mail.app now seems to automatically map the Sent, Junk, Trash and Drafts folders, i.e. you can't use this menu command anymore: Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For > Drafts / Sent / Junk / Trash
* I used to add the "[Gmail]" prefix under the "Advanced" tab of my mail account to eliminate it from the IMAP view, but it doesn't seem to be necessary any more, and might even have been causing some weirdness.
