I was using sudo and it wouldnet let me type pass word so i quit terminal. And know terminal wont work
Now it dosent say blah blah blah macbook pro and it wont open any commands
Exactly what do you mean it wouldn't allow you to type in your password?
If you mean it did not show up as you typed it that is the way it works. It never shows any characters, no stars or letters or anything, when you are typing it in. you just type it in and hit enter. If the command works you are back at your username$
If it doesn't for any reason it will post an error.
when you say terminal doesn't work that may be because you never really closed terminal. You just closed the window terminal was using. Enter terminal and if its name is in the menu bar it is active. Go to Shell, New Window, Basic.
Does a new terminal window open?

My iphone cut off while using itunes and now it wont work. it cuts on and off and it wont restore.
while putting music on my iphone from itunes my iphone suddenly cut off. it wouldnt come back on unless hooked up to charger and even then it turns on and off.. i have tried restoring it but it wont work. it actually restored once but it just started doing the same thing within an hour. every other time it errors out. what can i do?
Hi emfletcher!
If you have already tried restoring the iPhone, then the next troubleshooting step to address this issue would be to try putting the phone into recovery mode and attempting a restore from there. I have an article for you that can help you perform these steps:
iOS: Unable to update or restore

In order to fully troubleshoot and isolate issues, I would recommend not restoring from your backup after you finish this procedure. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

I just recently downloaded the free trial of LIghtroom 5. One day i was using it and it was on my desktop and the next day it was gone, almost like it crashed and will not let me re-install. Please help
Scrappy1 what do you mean exactly by doing a scan?
Under Windows 7 you will want to use the Programs and Features Control Panel to remove your installation. I would recommend verifying that Photoshop Lightroom is removed from the list of installed applications. -
My ipod shut off while i was using it and now will not come back on what do i do
My Ipod touch shut down while I was using it and will not come back on. Any suggestions on what I should do??
Have you tried holding the Home and Power buttons at the same time? You should let them go when the Apple logo appears.

Hi,
I lost my airport connection when I was using internet and when I wanted to re-reconnect to airport it gave me connection timeout error, I changed my password on router but still doesn't work. How can i fix my problem?Hello there hastibahreini,
It sounds like you were using your Wi-Fi network from your Airport base station and the connection cut out. You have reset the password on the device but the issue persists. I would try the 3 resets outlined in the following article in order to help resolve the issue. If it persists, is the Wi-Fi connection issue happening on more than one device or computer?

Ive just upgraded to Mountain lion, I was using Safari and tried to use iCloud tabs. When I open it up there are no tabs there, anyone have any ideas on how to get it working?
Can you check system update? I think I did a system Update 1st, a day before installing OSX Lion and there is a Safari update. If not try logging in iCloud.

inbuilt isight camera is detected in system profiler but no image is being detected only a black screen shows up. I have tried all of the troubleshooting instructions and it still wont work. The iMac im using is OS X 10.6 and was an ex-floor model
Hi,
I would try a Safe Boot first. (This will take longer than a normal Boot and you will need to Restart afterwards).
If it were an older OS I would also suggest going to System Preferences > Displays and making sure the display is set to Millions. (My MacBook Pro does not have this option in Snow Leopard so I did presume Snow Leopard does not have it).
With some laptops there have been some issues with the cable up the back of the screen pulling loose with regular and frequent use of the lid, but this will not apply to you based on your specs. (it does take time to appear and is also somewhat rare). However it seems enough contact with the camera can make it appear in System Profiler and power it on but not give a pic.
If a Safe Boot does not work I would also try a PRAM reset.
Shut down the computer.
Restart it holding down Apple/CMD (or ⌘)+ALT( ⌥)+P+R Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
This is actually "less" destructive in that it clears less memory items than Safe Boot but they are different enough to warrant trying.
Do you have an older version of iGlasses installed ?
The one for Leopard does not work for Snow Leopard.
Do you have Web Browser open ?
This may point to Google Video Chat Plug-in and Flash Conflict. It would be rare to allow another app to access the camera even if not displayiong a Pic.
(Chrome Installs the Plug-in as does the standalone download).
Knowing what "any application" exactly you are trying might help us pin it down.
Any additional downloaded apps that can use the camera ?
Do you happen to have something balck in front of the camera ?

I had Snow Leopard and was using iWeb and Filezilla for my website (not MobileMe). Wanting to move to single-click publishing (supported by MobileMe), I now find it is not supported by iCloud and Mountain Lion. I feel cheated, having bought it mainly for this purpose! The other thing they don't tell you is that Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac, and I am considering uninstalling it for that reason - do I get my money back?!
You stated; "Mountain Lion disables OfficeMac"
That is not true.
Mountain Lion does not have Rosetta so it is not capable of executing PowerPC code. If you have MS Office 2004 that is coded in PowerPC code and will not run in Mountain Lion. What you need to do is upgrade to an Intel version of Office.

I own the iphone 4 and i was using safari and went to google something and my phone froze. My computer is not recognizing my phone when I plug it in, and my charger is not allowing my phone to charge. What can i do to get my phone unfrozen?
Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons 10-20 seconds until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), then release. If it won't reset you may need to put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Hello.
I am having much difficulty using any software drum program. I am trying to use EZ Drummer and the drum programs in Logic, with limited success. I was using them, and they were working, but this is no longer the case. Please help me navigate my way through these issues, if possible.
Thanks.
EricAha! I have sorted it.
For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin -
Was using ps6 and lost power. now its locked up. how can i get it back?
Was using ps6 and lost power. Now it's locked up. How can I get it back?
Try resetting your preferences.
Hold down Ctrl Shift Alt keys, then start Photoshop. You should get a reset dialog.
If that somehow doesn't work, use Windows System Restore to go back to an earlier system state before this happened.

Hi, anyone knows how to using airdrop between mac and iPhone 5? My mac was using mavericks and my iPhone was using OS 7. There is airdrop icon in my mac. And already on. But it is searching constantly. Even my airdrop in iPhone already on for everyone.
Yes, you can use it for Mac computer > Mac computer or iDevice > iDevice. It's because they have different operating systems.

You will have to go down the route of a Restore. Please read carefully the links therein with regard to using a different different computer from that with which you normally sync.
[You may also have to put your device into Recovery Mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 ]
