Delete folders in verbose mode?

Hi. My laptop won't boot properly because the disk is full. I can boot in verbose mode to type commands. What is the command to delete the main Movies folder? Or main Downloads folder?

Actually it's Single User mode, it's Verbose when it's booting and you can see it but have no control.
What you want to do your better off doing this. Single User mode is dangerous and can have unexpected issues from human error. Also you can keep the files.

Can't delete folders in Library mode

I cannot delete folders. I have selected a folder in Library mode but I can find not way to delete it. It seems that I can remove it from the catalog but not delete the folder and the files. Is there a way delete a folder and all the files contained in it?

Yes, but you have to delete images in the folder first. You can delete files within Lr. When the folder is empty Lr will allow deletion of the folder.
I have no idea why Lr requires you do it this way. I suppose it is a safety feature. Mass deletes of folders and their contents could be dangerous.

10.4.9 Server Starts in Verbose Mode

When I restart my G4 Server, it looks like it is starting like normal, shows the blue startup screen and says Mac Server is starting up, but when the bar reaches the end, it briefly goes to an all blue screen and then moves to a black screen with white text(verbose mode I think).
After searching the forums, I tried forcing the mac os x startup by holding command and x during startup, but nothing changes. I have also tried entering:
sudo nvram boot-args=""
to boot up normally, but still no change. I have tried repairing the disk in disk utility, booting from an external hard drive, but still boots in verbose mode.
Any help would be great.

Hi Dan-Cherokee:
What happens if you boot from the installer disk?
In the meantime try resetting the PRAM (ParameterRAM). Restart the server and hold down the command, alt, P and R keys at the same time. You should hear the start-up chime, keep them depressed until you hear the chime again, keep them depressed for a further start-up chime, now release the keys and immediately hold down the shift key. You will have to keep this depressed for some time as you are now booting in safe mode/boot. Eventually you will see the log in window with Safe Mode/Boot (in red) displayed, release the shift key and log in as normal, wait a few seconds and click on the trash icon, you should see a folder that has a long number for its name or possibly be called recovered items, delete this folder and reboot as normal. Safe Mode does a thorough check of your drive and directory as well as flushing system caches (this is what gets dumped into the trash).
Hope this helps – Tony

SSRS error - verbose mode

We have a SCCM and use SQL 2012 server for reporting. Recently we have started experiencing a problem where we can browse to the reports and once we do run the reports, it tries to run forever and eventually halts with the following error
An error occurred within the report server database. This may be due to a connection failure, timeout or low disk condition within the database. (rsReportServerDatabaseError)
I have enabled verbose mode on the sql server and restarted the reporting service. Below is the log file where I am hoping someone will be able to tell me what the issue is:

This was to do with NIC settings on the SQL server. There was a mis-configuration where data was taking long time to copy. Once we have corrected this, all started to work just fine.

How do I delete folders listed in Time Machine that are no longer good?

I AM TRYING TO DELETE FOLDERS ON MY TIME MACHINE THAT I NO LONGER NEED:
MY TIME MACHINE FOLDER SHOWS AT PRESENT:
DIGI FILES_PE
DIGI FILES-PE-ACDS
DIGI-ACDS
HARD DRIVE
IPHOTO-PHOTO-PREV-PE
PREV-ELEMENTS
WORKING
I WANT TO DELETE:
PREV-ELEMENTS
DIGI FILES_PE
DIGI FILES-PE-ACDS
When I checked the Help INstructions it tell me to Highlight the file and click the Actions menu (Gear icon) from the toolbar.
Select “Delete all backups of <this file>”.
BUT...when I do that the Gear icon only shows "Move to Trash" Not “Delete all backups of <this file>”.
So when I try to move the old folders to the trash it tells me that the operation cannot be done?

HELP! MacMini starting up in Verbose Mode

Hi,
My Mac Mini seems to be sarting up in Verbose Mode (black background with white type). Any ideas why this is happening? and how do I stop it?
I've run Disk First Aid off the installion CD and its fixed all the problems that it found, but it still happening. Do I need to wipe the HD and start all over again, or try to just re-install the OS?
Any words of wisdom?
Thanks!
Su
Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.9)

also download and install onyx
http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs2/english/download.html
once installed, open onyx and go to the parameters tab, then go to the tab under that named login. find the one that says startup mode. select normal mode and it should reset it to normal.
hope this helps

Suddenly, Macbook doesn't boot up in single user mode or verbose mode

Hello, I use the single-user boot up quite often to check permissions and do a fsck after my mac crashes.
I do this by pressing Apple(Command)-S at startup or cmd-V for the verbose mode. I do this all the time.
But now my Mac won't take it anymore. It just refuses to accept any key combo. Any ideas why this is happening?
thanks.

Hi Jose, actually you don't have to boot to single user and repair permission all the time. Just perform that after you update your software and or hardware.
Can you start up normally and then use your keyboard as usual, or is the keyboard refuse to do so?
Try to reset your PRAM and or PMU to refresh your hardware behavior.

IMac won't boot up. Stuck in "verbose mode" ??

I've had this problem on and off for a few weeks now. I either restart my iMac after installing some new software-or for other reason- and my computer won't boot up. Sometimes it will stay at the white screen with the grey apple for hours if I leave it there. I've tried all the tricks with key commands. I even reinstalled my software, which worked, but now its happening again. Today, I restarted my iMac, and the same thing is happening, except sometimes it will go into what I've heard called- "verbose mode." The screen is black and white command text appears in the upper left hand corner. Here are some examples of what appears...
No Airport driver found.
Exited abnormally. Bad system call.
Repawning too quickly! throttling
10 more failures without living at least 60 seconds will cause job removal.
Will restart in 10 seconds.
(this will continue until it has restarted and failed 10 times. After this is done, it will display one of the following...)
too many failures in succesion
OR
local:/root# (continuously flashes on the screen)
OR
localhost:/ I have no name!# AppleYukon- eno link active, 100-Mbit, full duplex, flow control disabled.
I really don't know what to do. I'm really frustrated with my iMac. I've had to replaced a dead hard drive within the 6 months of my purchase, and now it is acting crappy again.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I tried using the disk utility on the grey disks, but
they can't repair the error on my HD. I can't restore
the original software from the disks either... there
is an error when I try.
No, you can't restore while the current OS is in place, due to the fact that your 10.4.8 isn't compatible with the older version (10.4.4) that's on the install DVDs. Once a Mac OS is in place, it can only be upgraded, not downgraded. You'll have to choose either:
to "Archive & Install" which would set aside your current system unerased until the new installation is completed and your current settings are transferred over - at which point you can erase the archived OS.
to entirely erase and reformat the HDD, then install a fresh OS.
Use the install disc's version of Disk Utility to perform either. First, though, you probably need to do a PRAM reset - that often clears things up so that you won't get an error message.
To reset the PRAM:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following four keys on the keyboard: Command (Apple logo), option, P, and R. You will need to hold these four keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Start up the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination after the startup chord sounds, but before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold all four keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup chord for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Freezing at startup - weird message when starting up in verbose mode

My macbook pro, only about 2 months old, freezes a lot while its starting up. i have to keep turning it off and on for it to work. It gets stuck at the grey screen with the apple and the loading icon.
I decided to start up in verbose mode and maybe i can see what the problem is. So i did just that and i got this error message:
SATA WARNING: completing a zero block transfer.
it keeps repeating that message and scrolling down the screen forever.
I have no idea what that could be.

Most likely a problem with the disk and/or some corruption of the directory. Be sure to back up your own data if you haven't done so already. Then boot from your install disk and go to the menu bar and select Disk Utility and then Repair Disk. If it reports a problem and fixes it, run it again until everything comes up clean. If it reports a problem it can't fix you could invest in DiskWarrior, or, if you have AppleCare I believe you got a free copy of TechTool, you could try running that.

How to permanently boot up in verbose mode?

Hi,
I want to always boot up OS X Mavericks (10.9.2) in verbose mode (debug mode) as I pressed Cmd+V everytime.
I remember an old command which I used on Snow Leopard for doing this:
« sudo nvram boot-args="-v" »
but I don't know if it's still valid on Mavericks!!
The command « nvram -p » works and doesn't show any "-v" verbalization in the "boot-args" section, so I'm currently thinking my command is still valid (it does still show other commands, though).
But I need your help, Apple experts! Can you confirm this?
Thanks in advance,

Restart the computer. At the chime press and hold down the SHIFT key until you see the spinning gear below the Apple Logo. You should also see a progress bar appear. Booting into Safe Mode takes much longer than a normal startup.

Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added

Every time I right click on an image and select Download image Firefox crashes . I have reinstalled; uninstalled and deleted folders and then reinstalled; added no plugins; checked I can DL the same images in IE-works good.I use Win7 pro and it works in other profiles in Windows 7. I created a new profile in Windows and that worked for about 2 months and now that has gone the same way as my admin profile has done. I deleted the sqlite download file-still same prob..Please help. I use Firefox 13.0.1

That sounds very frustrating.
By the way, does it say "Download image" or "Save Image As"? Just checking whether you have an add-on downloader in the mix that might be relevant. If you do have an add-on, try using the built-in command.
Do you also crash if you save from here:
right-click page > View Page Info > Media tab > (select image) > Save As
I assume you have seen this article and tried these things: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
Have you tried the new Reset feature in Firefox 13? This duplicates certain key data from your active settings folder into a new one, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins will still be active, but could be disabled manually if you like.
More information in this article: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]].
If the new settings folder has the same problem, you can switch back if you like using Firefox's Profile Manager.
Does it make any difference?

When I delete folders off of this through Finder, Finder shows as if they were deleted, but when you read the card on a Windows machine, or in my vehicle, the folder was not really deleted and remains.
I have found that it seems like you can only WRITE to the compact flash. You can't erase.
I had to reformat the entire card to fat32 and then rewrite everything just to change the contents of it.
Is there a workaround to this?

I deleted the folder by Command + Delete (trashing them?).
I believe I then just pulled the CF card out of the attached reader this particular time, without ejecting it.
I then noticed this same folder was still on the card when I put it in my vehicle.
From what I am reading, it seems that trashing the file leaves a .Trash folder on the CF card. I did not see this, I saw the full folder name, as if it had not ever been touched.
I will test tonight if emptying the trash truly removes the folder.

TS2570 iMac won't boot, GSOD with Flashing Question Mark, safe/verbose mode not possible

I have an iMac 24", just over 2 years old running OS X v10.5 (Leopard). Mighty Mouse and bluetooth keyboard, no peripherals.
It slowed enormously over the last few weeks and has now ceased to boot.
On switching on I hear the chime (blank grey screen initially), the grey screen hangs for approx 30sec before the flashing folder/?mark icon appears.
There is no further progress.
Boot key combination results:
Can reset NVRAM (Option-Command-P-R)
Cannot boot to safe mode
Cannot boot to startup manager
Cannot boot to verbose mode
Cannot boot from target media (DVD etc)
Cannot boot to AHT mode
Cannot boot to single user mode
I have followed the steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables - done - de-powered and rebooted. No difference.
Perform a Safe Boot- this does not work. I am familiar with the boot combinations and timings. The safe boot leads to the same flashing folder/?mark icon. I have also tried verbose, single user, AHT and startup manager with the same result.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM - done - this worked and kicks the system into an auto-reboot after 3-5 seconds. This also demonstrates the Keyboard is fine. The subsequent boot fails at the same point via normal, safe or verbose boot instructions.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility – I never received an OSX install disk. I have the original box with receipts etc, the only disk present is an unsealed version of iLife (yeah thanks Apple). Where would I get one?
Check your cables and power source – done - all fine.
Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware – not applicable.
Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
To me the problem looks like a HDD failure. I had windows (dual boot) professionally installed when I bought the iMac and since the Windows boot option is also not visible (startup manager itself does not work) I suspect the system can’t find bootable media because the HDD isn’t spinning.
An OS corruption would generally affect one or the other but presumably not both Operating Systems simultaneously.
It's hard to be certain, but I’m sure it used to make more noise.
I had a look into opening it up and troubleshooting the physical components but it’s hard to know where to start. There are no obvious ways in and I’m not a professional so decided to post a question here rather than hack it open.
I'd be grateful if you could suggest next steps here, or is it time to go dig a hole in the garden? I certainly expected more than 2yrs life from a £1200 unit.
Many Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for the response,
I bought the iMac new, 17th Jan 2010, all receipts intact but no extended warrenty. I declined the Applecare Plan for two reasons.
(1) The sales rep seemed very confident in the product build. In fact the main justification of the price tag was the quality of the device. I'd also never had an apple device malfunction at that stage.
(2) The incumbent EU regulations are quite fair in so much as legislation dictates electrical goods should be manufactured to function for a 'reasonable' lifetime. I would be morally uncomfortable paying for rights I theoretically already have.
I triple checked on the OS X disks you mentioned but no joy. Unusual as it may be, the box has not been used and it's contents reflect the day of purchase.
I'm happy to order the OS X v10.5 DVD and attempt a boot to the disk utility, I don't mind risking a few bucks on a potential fix. I'll need to figure out where to order the disk, the call centre is closed ATM so watch this space.
What I'd really be interested in is; (a) is there a known diagnostic routine to determine the HDD functionality and (b) it is possible to replace/upgrade the HDD? This for me is where the iMac loses ground against a conventional PC in terms of motherboard/component access. It's far superior from an asthaetics perspective while things are running smoothly and the OS is great but the first sign of a hardware malfunction and there seems little or no scope to self-medicate the device.
The disk has around 40-60 GB free space.
I don't have a second Mac, nor any friends or family with a Mac to 'borrow' for the disk utility test you mentioned. I'll hunt around this afternoon/week but my instinct tells me finding a locally accessable Mac running 3 yr old OS X might not be possible. Again, watch this space, I'll post any further developments.
In the meantime any further assistance or answers to the above questions on determining HDD status would be much appreciated. No progress has yet been made on the original issue of failing to boot.
Many Thanks
Ryan

Turned on fileVault AND firmware password, can't boot into verbose mode?

Just out of curiousity, I turned on fileVault AND firmware password on my retina macbook pro,
and when I boot up holding command-v, instead of getting the firmware password screen, I get the filevault password screen.
Is this normal and expected behaviour?

The firmware password disables that shortcut; verbose mode can still be used by using the Terminal to change the NVRAM boot arguments, which requires an administrator password.

How to disable the verbose mode in HTTPS ?

Hello Everybody,
I'd like to know how I can make an https connection in which the text of the transaction with the distant server doesn't show in the console
here is my code :
URL rawURL = new URL(url);
if(rawURL.getProtocol().startsWith("https"))
     System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
     System.setProperty("javax.net.debug","ssl,handshake,data,trustmanager");
     Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
     TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{
     new X509TrustManager()
          public void checkClientTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) {}
          public void checkServerTrusted(X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) {}
          public X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
               return null;
     HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier()
                     public boolean verify(String urlHostName, SSLSession session)
                          return true;
     /*Initialisation de la connection*/
     try
          SSLContext sc = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
          sc.init(null, trustAllCerts, new java.security.SecureRandom());                         HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultSSLSocketFactory(sc.getSocketFactory());
          HttpsURLConnection.setDefaultHostnameVerifier(hv);
          HttpsURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);
     catch(NoSuchAlgorithmException nsae){}
     catch(KeyManagementException kme)
                     kme.printStackTrace();
     /* creation de la connection */
     urlCon = ((HttpsURLConnection)rawURL.openConnection());
urlCon.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);
urlCon.setReadTimeout(12000);
urlCon.setConnectTimeout(7000);
urlCon.addRequestProperty("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Firefox/1.0.7 (Debian package 1.0.7-1)");
urlCon.addRequestProperty("Host",urlCon.getURL().getHost());
urlCon.addRequestProperty("Accept-Language", "fr,fr-fr;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3");
switch (urlCon.getResponseCode())
}Thank's !

     System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");You don't need that unless you're running 1.3 or earlier.
     System.setProperty("javax.net.debug","ssl,handshake,data,trustmanager");You don't need that unless you want verbose mode.
     Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());You don't need that unless you're running 1.3 or earlier.
     TrustManager[] trustAllCerts = new TrustManager[]{You don't need this thing at all unless you like (a) code that doesn't implement its specification correctly and (b) insecure code. If your truststore doesn't trust the server certificate, that's the server's problem. Get them to fix it, by getting their certificate signed by a recognized CA.
     HostnameVerifier hv = new HostnameVerifier()Much the same remarks. This piece of code is insecure and it just addresses a problem with the server certificate. Get the problem fixed.
Otherwise in both cases you may as well not be using HTTPS at all - there is no security.
     catch(NoSuchAlgorithmException nsae){}Never ignore an exception.
urlCon.setInstanceFollowRedirects(true);If you have that you don't need the global setFollowRedirects call above, so you should remove it.
