Is There a Terminal Command to Mount the iMac's DVD When in Safe Mode?

Hi. The DVD won't mount on Safe Mode but is there a workaround to enable he DVD drivers to enable even if it's on Safe Mode. It's on Safe Mode because I'm fixing something.
Thank you in advance.
God bless. Rev. 21:4

Mine doesn't make a sound when I do this.
I presume you have unchecked the "Play user interfacesound effects" > in System Preferences> Sound. The other OP wants to disable only the infamous boing. I found both the files you wrote of. Thank you very much !
I just needed to summarize this & then undoing if so desired.
Bill, please what would the command be for undoing this action ?
Launch Terminal and type this: sudo gzip
enter ~~
password prompt,
then this : /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework/Versions/A/Resources/S ounds/SpringForward.aiff
Is this correct ?
Thanks so very, very much for your expertise, patience and sharing it with me.~ Eme

  • Is there a terminal command to disable the "Boing' sound ?

    Hello, Everyone
    I was wondering if any one knows if there is a terminal command that can
    be used to disable the "boing" sound that folders and files make (in Tiger)
    as they are being moved about the desktop and or into finder windows.
    A couple of people have looked in the System preferences,usual areas but
    can not locate the file for this "Boing" sound. If any one knows I would love
    the answer. TIA for reading this & any help.; )
    Regards , Eme

  • Is there a terminal command that shows the size of the VM swapfile?

    Something like the "uptime" command?

    Something like the "uptime" command?
    How about
    ls -l /var/vm/swap*
    ? Works for me.

  • What's the terminal command to insert the text that appears when I send mail to Bcc addresses?

    I remember there was a cool add-on to some mail clients like Eudora years back where one could juggle the text that people receive instead of the addresses if you send mail in Bcc... Is there any possibility to change what Apple Mail sends?
    What if, insetad of the usual "undisclosed recipients" I want something else like "omissis" to appear?

    (1) you can't insert a sheet in Pages. Only tables !
    (2) before pasting your table in Pages, you may resize it so that it may fit in a page.
    (3) the users which took time to look in Pages User Guide are aware of a feature described as : Linking Text Boxes.
    It's a good answer to your problem.
    In a Word Processor document, create a text box and paste your table in the new tex box.
    At the bottom of the box you will see a small square with a symbol plus. It's a flag warning you  that the box contents is too large for the box.
    No problem, insert a page break to force the opening of a new page then read carefully the user guide :
    Applying what I highlighted, you will create a new box linked to the first one so that your table will flow in it.
    If it's not sufficient, you may link a third box …
    More, we are allowed to rotate the text boxes so you may edit them a way allowing them to host your landscape table.
    From my user's point of view, it's absolutely intuitive.

  • Is there a Terminal command that will pick up DNS numbers?

    Hello all,
    Is there a Terminal command that will pick up the DNS numbers utilized by a router?
    The router options don't show any, though the router is set to use PPPoA to pick them up.
    I kindly TIA,
    Eme '~[ )♥♪

    Hi, Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
    What do you mean by "pick up"?
    I mean to show what the DNS numbers are that the router is using.
    They are not entered in the DNS server field in Networks, TCP/IP tab.
    If you mean refresh the client settings, the DNS settings are obtained as part of the DHCP lease (or PPP connection in the case of PPP).
    The user/ OP is actually using PPPoA, when i googled PPPoA.. seems he is using Cisco perhaps.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-PointProtocol_overATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
    "PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It is used mainly with cable modem, DSL and ADSL services.
    It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. If it is used as the connection encapsulation method on an ATM based network it can reduce overhead slightly (around 0.58%) in comparison to PPPoE".
    Essentially the original poster removed the OpenDNS #s from his DNS server field in the TCP/IP tab (b/c they seem to make Adobe.com inaccessible to him)
    removing them & allowing his router to "pick them up from the ISP" seems to solved his problem.
    However he can not, find what the numbers are that are being utilized,
    b/c they are not entered as usual in the Network, & part of the DHCP lease,
    or in Airport admin Utility.
    I/ we wondered, if there was a Terminal command that will show what the
    numbers are that are being used .
    Does that help clarify what I mean? Sorry to be so long winded.

    Ya, I'd love to have the computers connected to the Xserver, unfortunately against my heeding, I was ordered to take them off of the Xserver, so they only have a local account that automatically logs in on startup, and even though I have Parental Controls set, I can not stop them from going to Safari, selecting an inappropriate image and setting it as the background, so now I’ve been ordered to fix all of the backgrounds that people are messing with.
    My Xserver is running OS X 10.4.11 Server Edition. Yes, I would love a new server, but that’s not happening due to budget cuts.
    So what I am hoping for is a command that I can put into Apple Remote Desktop v3.5.3 and push out to all of the computers via its Unix commands and reset all the desktops to their default image.

  • Is there a Terminal command to eject disk?

    My MBP wont start up and I used my friends install disk to try and reboot it, bnut it would not work and I cannot eject the disk.
    Is there a Terminal command that will eject the disk.
    MY MBP won't boot so it os booting from teh Install disks.

    In researching this I discovered that you can put a permanent eject button on the top menu bar as follows:
    go to System->Library->Core Services->Menu Extras
    There you will find a veritable treasure-trove of extras, one of which is the eject.menu.
    Double-click on the item to install it on the top menu bar.
    Extra bonus:
    There are many other items in the Menu Extras folder that you can install on the menu bar the same way.
    To remove a menu bar item, hold down the Command key and drag the menu item onto the desktop. You will get a "poof" as it disappears. Only the link is "poofed" not the actual item.

    Reset the TC to factory and start again.
    Use all SMB type names for wireless and base station.. Not apple type names.. this is more important since Mavericks.
    I also recommend different names for the different bands.
    So for example.
    TC name.. TCgenx (I use whatever the generation number is for the x.. eg TCgen4 or latest one TCgen5)
    WIreless name.. TC24ghz for 2.4ghz
    TC5ghz for 5ghz
    You can also set the channel manually.
    If you still have issues.. start with no security and then if it fails to connect there is something seriously wrong with the laptop. Did you upgrade install Mavericks?? That can lead to driver issues.. I would recommend a clean install.

  • When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    When exporting to a DVD from Final Cut Pro X, what settings are there to make sure you making the highest quality DVD possible?

    There have been a lot of recent reports of difficulties sharing to DVD, but haven't been hearing about unreadable disks. Posibly there was an encoding error. Or it could have been bad media (blank disk).
    Does it play in your Mac?
    What brand of disks are you using?
