Computer not obeying terminal commands

I've been trying to eject a disk using the Terminal command "drutil tray eject" (the eject button isn't working and the computer is in denial about the disk being there- except iTunes which crashes every time I tell it to eject the disk). The Terminal is pretending that it is Text Edit- it sends me no responses to anything I type (I tried several other basic commands- nada). I tried changing my preferences in Terminal and got a response which told me what my command was supposed to do, but didn't obey the command. I got the disk out using the mouse method- but I just want the computer to obey my commands. What should I do?

1.dragging and dropping the icon for the CD into your trashcan
2. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the left mouse button until the disc ejects.
3. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
4. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
5. Press COMMAND-E.
6. Open the Terminal application in your Appl/Utilities folder. copy & paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into single-user mode (hold down ⌘ -S through the boot process.)  At the prompt copy & paste:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
Restart the computer enter reboot at the prompt or shutdown
7.  restart hold down trackpad button

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music

  • Dock vanished uncommanded - Will not obey commands to reappear.

    Hardware MacBook Pro
    Software Mac OS X 10.6.8
    This problem followed hard on a software upgrade to 10.6.8
    That may just be a coincidence but shorly after this upgrade was installed, the dock simply vanished!
    I have powered off and rebooted the MacBook.
    The  Apple Dock commands and System Preferences Dock options are not obeyed.
    It appears that the dock has somehow been corrupted and requires to somehow become reconstituted.
    Just for interest I created a new account on the computer and a new default dock was created.
    I would be grateful for any input from the experts out there.
    All the usual means of restoring the dock do not seem not to work.
    Hope someone can help.

    Step one is to move all dock preference files from your user's /Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and see if that fixes the issue. If so, delete the moved files. Note that you'll have to reset the Dock.

  • Basic Terminal Commands Not Working

    I'm having trouble using basic commands in terminal that I've been able to use in the past. For example, if I type "dir," I get "-bash: dir: No such file or directory"
    I'm know sure what "bash" is, or if that has anything to do with it.
    I'm also trying to use the tar command, which I've not used before. Again, I get a similar error: "-bash: tar: No such file or directory"
    Hope you can help. Thanks!

    Hello I am on a macbook pro (retina IOS 9) i have installed xcodes and command line tools but codeblocks does not compile, terminal gives this message /Users/MacPc/Desktop/Untitled1: Permission denied      any one has a solution?? please...

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
    Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
              Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
    Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
               ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • The majority of Terminal command, "not found"

    When I was trying to mess around with my Kinect camera on my iMac today, via Terminal, I noticed a peculiar thing occurring when I tried to use even the most basic of Terminal commands.
    For example, I typed in "ls" to try to list the directories and files of my current directory, but was presented with the following instead:
    "-bash: ls: command not found"
    Without the quotes obviously.
    Why is this happening? Should I be concerned?

    Is there any reason why I don't have a ".profile saved.profile" or a ".bash_profile saved.bash_profile"?
    It just displays:
    "No such file or directory".
    Ouch! By default there are no shell initialization files. I was assuming that the MySQL installation created either a .profile or a .bash_profile, or the instructions had you manually creating one of them.
    If you do not have a .profile nor a .bash_profile, then I'm not sure where the MySQL installation put them.
    But just to be on the safe side and make sure we are looking in the correct directory try:
    echo $HOME # just want to make $HOME variable is properly setup.
    /bin/ls -l $HOME/.profile $HOME/.bash_profile $HOME/.bash_login $HOME/.bashrc
    I apologize if I missed some of your explanations, I don't mean to be fussy!
    Your Terminal sessions are not working. I would be more than "fussy" if that happened to me! Then again, I live inside of terminal sessions
    xurizaemon had an earlier post where he listed some additional places that PATH could be modified.
    /bin/cat /etc/profile
    /bin/ls -R /etc/paths.d
    You might go back and re-read what xurizaemon wrote in that post.
    Another thing you could try is, using System Preferences -> Accounts, create a new account, and see if that account has the same Terminal problem (this is an experiment, not a solution). If it does, then it would seem the changes were global, so the /etc/profile, and /etc/paths.d locations are candidates. If the problem does NOT occur for a new account, then this would point to $HOME/.profile, $HOME/.bash_profile, $HOME/.bash_login.

  • Terminal does not recognize spell command

    I am teaching myself UNIX and messing arround with the terminal and noticed when the book I am using stated you can us
    ls | spell
          to pipe the cpommands and spell check the list tht the ls command gets yet when I try to use the spell command it says it is not recognized and when I try and pull up the man page for it says it does not exist....any reason why it is not working?

    Actually "spell" is not the first command you're going to find missing from a regular Mac OS X installation.
    Each major Unix brand, style/family or distribution come with their own "standard" or default apps, commands or programs.  You'll soon likely want to get a hold of something like MacPorts [ MacPorts FAQ ] to manage the installation and update of a myriad of Un*x or Linux tools that you can still add to your Mac and enjoy.  Some of these package managers, like Fink [ Fink F.A.Q. ], offer a graphical tool to manage said installations.
    As for getting something like "spell" on your Mac, for the command line, try adding "aspell" to yout system using one of the above managers.
    Hope this helps!

    I installed new hard drive and I am trying to restore from time machine external back up. I restarted the computer and held the Command key and the R and the restore utility does not appear. what can I do

    Command + R keys are for Macbooks running Lion and Mountian Lion only. ( i could be wrong on this)
    you have a couple of options:
    Do a clean install of Snow Leopard via Install DVD.
    Clone your old hard drive to your new hard drive via Carbon Copy Cloner
    Or click on the link below to give you a better idea.

  • Javac not a recognizable command on my computer after i installed JDK SE6

    I am trying to compile my java code so that i can execude it but my computer is telling me that this is not a recognizable command even after ive installed JDK SE6. any ideas?

    You need to update your Java registry variable.
    Go to start> control panel> system> advanced> environment variables>
    Now find the variable called "Path". Click "edit", and after everything else already there, put a semicolon if there isn't one, and the following:
    C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_03\bin
    The _03 is for update 3, if you have a newer one, put 04 or whatever it is now.
    DO NOT DELETE WHAT IS ALREADY IN THE EDIT BOX!
    If you delete all of the other things, it will really mess your computer up. This is a vary sensitive process, so be careful.

  • Terminal command to refresh USB peripheral device

    I'm running OS 10.7.5, and I have a recurring problem with the USB ports on my Mac mini.  After several days of up-time, one or more of the ports will sometimes become non-responsive.  This seems to be software related, because logging off and logging back into the machine always fixes the problem (as does a restart and a cold-reboot).  I was thinking maybe the "checklist" of device filenames somehow gets corrupted over time, and needs to be recreated.
    Does anyone know how to refresh the list of peripheral devices without restarting, rebooting, or logging off?  Ideally a terminal command?  I'm hoping not to have to keep shutting down the session each time this happens to get my list of connected devices back.
    Thanks very much for your suggestions for the newbie.

    Hi Korby,
    If you are having difficulties with USB devices such as you describe, I would suggest resetting your Mac mini’s parameter RAM, as described in this article -
    About NVRAM and PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    Specifically -
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • What Is The Terminal Command For PRAM & SMC Reset?

    Hi Folks - Cant get my Macbook Pro to shut down (instead it does a re-start) thus the key combination for these re-sets doesnt seem to function (no chimes). I saw in another thread a terminal command entry "sudo nvram boot-args=”-p -r” but I also saw it mentioned that entering that casued the following to pop-up "Note that resetting the PRAM will wipe out the contents of the boot-args environment variable, which means the command would need to be reissued each startup." Whats with "reissued each startup"? Also would like a an SMC re-set command. THANKS in advance!

    I dont know of a terminal command but here is how to reset the SMC:
    Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery (to remove the battery - click here: MacBook or MacBook Pro).
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.

  • IChat 5.0.3 video connection problem one computer not another

    I have MacBook Pros about same age, both upgraded to SL, running 10.6.5 and side by side. Airport Extreme home wireless network. iChat bandwidth set to 500kbps on a Comcast cable internet. MBPro#1 can video/audio chat (one way) with PPC in the house and its Connection Doctor setting is "Router type: Full cone". MBPro#2 cannot connect for video/audio chat to MBPro#1 although the camera comes on and you can select "Accept" in the video window; however, the connection thingie just spins until failure. On that machine the Connection Doctor setting is "Router type: Unknown" with its message about something up with the network preventing video/audio chatting. Both machines have Sound input and Sound output settings identical. Text chatting is fine. Video chat attempt to the [email protected] also fails due to connection error. Other wireless activities, such as downloads, internet, etc. work fine on both machines.
    - I have reinstalled SL from the install DVD and then upgraded to current OS version from the 10.6.5 combo upgrade .dmg.
    - I have replaced the plist files with ichat in their names from MBPro #1
    - As far as I can see, settings are identical in all the System Preferences locations (including firewall), but the two machines differ of course in the iChat Connection Doctor readout. Applications on the two machines are not identical.
    Perhaps there are other files I need to find or change but I am at a loss to get MBPro #1 video chatting -- MBPro #2 in contrast was absolutely smooth to get going.
    I've looked through a number of the iChat Discussion topics but did not come across this particular situation of two machines, one working and one not with the same router -- forgive me if my search terms did not find them. Any help will be appreciated.
    Peter

    Hi Ralph
    Thanks for the reply.
    The Terminal command is certainly showing something significant. The log for the iChat AV incapable machine is pasted below per your instructions. The end of the paste is as far as it goes. I see that it is different from the iChat AV capable machine ie for that computer there are positive tests to BWD commands and checks for audio and video network come up positive, plus more data come after the CommNAT line.
