I broke the terminal
Hey guys, I have a major issue with the terminal, I'm afraid I broke it ><.
Anyway, I was learning how to compile flash code using the terminal and the flex sdk. The tutorial had me add a path to the .bash_login file which pointed to the flash compiler. That way I wouldn't have to type out /Developer/SDKs/flex_sdk/.... etc to get to the compiler everytime I wanted to compile code. So I added the path using nano ~.bash_login, now whenever I open the terminal, a program called xquartz also opens. I get two messages on the terminal "Could not init font path element /Library/Fonts, removing from list!", and "Could not init font path element /System/Library/Fonts, removing from list!". I can type into the terminal, but nothing I type does anything, as if it's currently working on a process. If I force-quit xquartz, the terminal says process completed, and won't let me type anything. Is there anyway to somehow reset the .bash_login file without using the terminal since it's broken?
Thanks,
David
is
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysql
a directory containing lots of mysql related executable commands?
Or is that the actual mysql executable?
PATH contains colon separated directories where the directories contain executable commands.
What utility did you use to edit the .profile? The file must be a line feed terminated file. And the last line should end with a line feed Not all editors honor that rule.
file $HOME/.profile
It shold come back
.profile: ASCII English text
If the output says CR line terminators, or CRLF line terminators, then the file does not have proper line feed terminated lines.
If you want to post the contents of your .profile, you can do that by enclosing it in
where the {code} statements will protect the contents from the forum messing with its contents.
Did you try rebooting to clear the hang situation?

What is the terminal command in OS X SL for enabling my touchpad?
When I boot into the install disc I can use the terminal, but not the touchpad. I can't get past the choosing of a hard disk w/o using my touchpad. Thanks!
If your touchpad is not working in the installer, it is Broke!
The Installer software is an incorruptible, "one size fits all" software, provided you are using an Installer appropriate for your Mac.
Installer Software older than the version that was on your Mac when it was new will not work.
Installer Software for a different Mac will not work because it will not contain drivers for your Hardware. -

I bought in a galaxy note 3 in January. I signed up for a month to month contract. I was offered a free iphone5c with a 2yr contract. My daughter in law needed a new phone so I took the offer. Unfortunately she broke the phone and gave it back to me. In the meantime I decided to upgrade my phone since I signed up for a 2yr contract I figured I might as well get a new phone. I got the lgg3 for free with a2yr contract and with that I was offered the LG tablet for free for 10$month with a 2 yr contract also. I am not happy with Verizon at all. The fees, service and even my lgg3 device. I wanted to know what would be the cheapest was to end this contract. I should have thought about the agreement before I signed I know. I just want out. Thank you for any help

First off I have a 3tb fusion drive.
I created a 200gb bootcamp, I tried deleting the bootcamp because I thought I messed it up and googled how to delete a mac partition which told me to use Disk Utility, did that and then erased it and somehow it got locked and wouldn't let me do anything to any partition on my hard drive (everything was greyed out)
After looking up and googling for hours I found a post saying the only way to fix it would be to go into CMD+R and go into the terminal window and type out disklist and then find the first UUID number and do something along the lines of disklist delete (UUID) i forget the exact formula. I did this, and then I had 3 separate untitled hard drives.
One in the size of 1.9gb on in 800gb and one in 121.3gb (which is the SSD), I put my time machine backup onto the 1.9gb untitled and now my computer is booting slowly (because it's no longer running off of the SSD and the original bootcamp is still there.
To be honest I am absolutely confused on what else to do!
Is there anyway I can fix this?How do I go about deleting and then re-adding the hard drives? Completely lost on how to make it back to being a 3gb fusion drive.
Thank you for all your help, I honestly really appreciate it.
I followed your instructions and got the following

i have an iphone and an ipad (which are connected by the same apple id) i broke the phone and sold it but i didnt get to factory reset it because it was broken, is there any way for me to wipe my iphone from my ipad?
Try this:
Open the "Find my iPhone" app on your iPad, fill in your AppleID and password at the start up screen, and you should see a list of all your devices and their current location, if connected to a Wi-Fi or mobile data network. Devices not connected will be shown as "offline". But you can still trap on the icon and hit "erase iPhone" in the right hand window.
If your iPhone is not listed, you did not activate this feature during the setup of the phone and it can't be erased remotely.
If the phone is listed, even as offline, tap on "erase" to send the erase command. The next time your device will be connected to any kind of network, the content will be erased. -
how can I acess my ipad content from the pc, without enter the security code on ipad? I broke the screen and it doesn´t work. theres a way to enter the code on the pc? thank you
No. Get it fix by making an appointment with the Apple genius bar.

I tried to type in details but unable to do so. we lived in a gated apt buildings in Hi with 24-hour security guards and cameras. This false sense of security led us to foolishly leave the computer on all the time, not log off even when out shopping. Never expect people would open our locks (three locks) and walked into our apt while we were out. We have dishes, clothes and corning vision cookwares missing. We have all our important docs including computer serial numbers. We noticed our computer not respond and files and applications move around. We know they are not done by themselves and looked into console log list. The person who remotely logs or links with our computer thought that we are old folks and knew little about how to discover their act. Tried many times to get rid of it but was not successful. Finally today we hauled our imac to the apple store and explained the need to get rid of remote desktop. All went well and we thought our computer is at a factory installed state. We forgot to start firewall, probably did not disconnect third party help status (apple store third party). Forgot to write down cable provider IP and resulted in using wi fi. Look into system log list and other diagnostics messages and found an mac book pro and went back to see if I can write down the entire message but this time it went blank. system log blank, library logs blank and /var/logs blank and so is user log. Activity monitor froze would not open. We had it clean up in apple store today november 18, 2013. We have an Imac and don't know anyone who owns mac book pro with log message dated on oct 22. The question is how it still hangs around after reset at the apple store and how to get rid of it and if it is possible? greatly appreciated.
The Terminal is letting you type it in. It just doesn't display anything when you do.

Good afternoon, I would like some information I have an ipod nano 6th generation and has the same one-year warranty is only 2 months of use, and it fell down and broke the glass of the display, I called technical assistance in Brazil and informed me that Brazil has no repair services for Apple, which was the basis of its price change in the exchange is not worth half the value of the product.
I wonder how I do to change this device without the expense of 50% for the same product is in warranty?
Thanks in advance.yes agree, plus a multinational seeing a product and has no technical assistance to do the maintenance then it's no use I buy a new product if it is damaged I will always be because it has no prejudice in this maintenance.
sorry but even more products coming from China to Brazil in technical assistance. -
Help with Ruby on Rails and mysql - I just don't get the terminal...
Let me just start by saying I'm pretty new to using the terminal and unix commands. I've been trying to teach myself how to use Ruby on Rails (ror) over the pasy couple of days and have had some luck but I'm struggling with the terminal.
For instance, when starting a new ror project I need to use the terminal to creat a new database schema (I think this the right terminology) within mysql. The tutorials I'm using suggest that I use the terminal to create the database with a command like:
mysqladmin -u root -p create expenses_development
no matter how I try I cannot seem to find the way to make this work. I contunue to switch directories in the terminal, but am not getting anywhere. Can someone shed some light on where I could be going wrong?
thanks in advance

Please help, I broke the Finder
I think I broke the Finder. I was trying to transfer some photos as my disk space was running low and I was trying to clean up and back up stuff so I could install Leopard. I had a bunch of photos I was trying to drag and drop from one folder on the desktop to another. My hand slipped and suddenly it said that it was copying the 1700+ photos to the desktop. Then my finder had a breakdown. Spinning beachball, had to force quit the finder, then had to push button because nothing was happening. When the computer came back up my dock was there with some apps still on it, but the hd icon, some folders and the ext. hd icon were gone. Finder would not work, could not open a new finder window. I unplugged hd manually, and got told that was bad, which I knew but if it had no icon on my desktop, I could not eject it.
Anyway, I ran disk utility (it is in my dock). It sees nothing wrong. I was going to run it from the install disk, but when I put a cd or dvd in the drive it does not show. The finder toolbar (or whatever it is called--File, Edit, View, Window, Help--at the top of the screen does not function. Trying to get a pull down menu results in more spinning beach ball. Apple menu seldom works.
I have turned the computer off twice with button, and unplugged it for a few minutes after one of those times.
I am at my wit's end. Is there any help? Closest apple store is 70 miles away, so if there is something I can do, I need to.
Thanks in advance.You want to run Disk Utility from the Tiger install disk. Reboot from it, select your language, and once the menu bar appears go to it and select Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk function. If everything passes, fine. If it finds something to repair, run it again until the disk is reported fine. If it finds something it CAN NOT repair you'll have to invest in a specialized repair utility, Disk Warrior is one that many people recommend.
The hardware check is specific to each machine. To run that you would need to use the disks that came with the computer. The exact way to do it depends on the machine. There should be instructions on how to do it in the documentation that came with your computer. If you can't find that, do a search here on the Apple site for the appropriate computer.
I doubt you have a hardware problem, but wouldn't be at all surprised if Disk Utility finds something that needs repair in the directory structure. If it does, and is able to repair the damage, then you're fine. When you boot up normally into Tiger, launch Disk Utility again from the Utilities folder, and this time run Repair Permissions. You should then be set.

How do I increase the width of the first column in the Terminal ls -l command?
I am now running 10.9.x, but I've experienced the problem described in the question over the last several iterations of OS X.
I use bash as my interactive shell. When I display the "ls -l" command in Terminal the output is often very difficult for me to scan, because the columns in which are displayed the several fields of the records for the listed files are misaligned (different left-hand first-letter starting points for left-aligned text-valued fields; different right-hand low-digit alignment of numerical fields).
When I look more closely at the mess displayed in my Terminal window, it appears that the cause of the problem may be that no minimum width, or an inadequate minimum width, has somewhere been set or defined for the first column of each record, containing the file's "mode" string (permissions, etc.); for all records in which this string is of equal length, the succeeding columns for all fields in those records are themselves aligned.
It has not always been thus for me in the Terminal with OS X, or else I might not dream that the world could be a better place in this one respect. But if I launch an interactive csh-shell instead of bash in Mavericks today, the columns of the ls -l command there align no better.
I've found no help in the Unix man pages for the ls command. There is a COLUMNS environment variable whose value is supposed to be used by the ls command to set the width of every column displayed, but this is not what I want to do, and in my shell "ls -l" seems to ignore the exported variable anyway.
There is also an LS_COLWIDTHS environment variable that is described as setting column widths on a field-by-field basis, at least for some fields, but the the mode column is not included among those whose width is supposed to be adjustable, and my shell seems to ignore the value of this variable as well.
I've looked in my rather simple ~/.profile and ~/.bashrc files for anything that I might plausibly suspect of producing or perpetuating this behavior, but there is nothing there. Any suggestions about how to remedy this problem?
Randy MillerJohn,
I would like you to perform a safe boot. On reboot, press and hold the shift key at the chime, until the grey horizontal bar appears. After you type in your password, press and hold the shift key again, then click the right arrow to login, and release the shift key when your desktop appears. Move the contents of your local ~/Library/Caches into the Trash. Reboot normally. Empty your Trash.
Re-evaluate your Terminal behavior. If it now works ok, great. Otherwise, here are a sequence of screen shots of my Terminal preferences for comparison. I can use both Courier fonts without formatting issues. Click to enlarge. I use the free IR Black Terminal theme as a personal choice in OS X 10.9.4. In my ~/.bashrc file (triggered from ~/.bash_profile), I export TERM=xterm-256color, and invoke /usr/bin/tput init. Click on the following images to enlarge. -

HELP How to rescue data from a HD with only the Terminal utility working
I can no longer access the hard disk on a 2008 unibody Mac Book after an failed OS upgrade (?). Running the original OS 10.5.5 from the grey CD-ROM that came with the device and using the "Terminal" utility, I find all data in their place and within the correct structure.
I tried to make an image of the HD or to copy the files to the external disc using the Hard Disk utility, but all attempts have produced an "operation not possible" message. Target mode will not work, as the device has no firewire connection implemented.
How can I access the files (I know they are there, I can see them...) and e. g. copy them to an external disc or rescue them with an other method?
PLEASE HELP ME
Thank you, Martin
PS Please don't tell me that experienced users will always have backups of their files: It is my wife's device and that's exactly what I have been telling her for years. Still, it's my wife...Click here and choose 10.5 from the menu for usage instructions. Installing the OS on an external drive is done the same way as doing it on the internal drive, but it needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Hey, me and my friend are writting a program which I will eventually put into a nice GUI but for the beginning develpmental stages I running it in command line. I am using BlueJ to program, I am not sure it matters, but the point I am getting to is, I have spend nearly a week pulling my hair our trying to something I thought would be as simple as some of the other languages. I just want to clear the screen of the terminal and I have searched the web near and far and tried everything i could find and I still came out with nothing. So if someone could tell me how to clear the screen and put the cursor back in the upper-left hand corner I would be incredible grateful.
I dunno that i neccesarially need to be able to do it because like DrClap said it is more important to make the GUI look nice but it was more of a this should be easy... why isn't and how can I do it. I appreciate the help though but I am using windows Xp so the I can't get the ASCI thing to work and the brute force thing puts the cursor in the bottom left hand corner instead of the top... Is there a command to make the cursor go back to the top?
