MacBook G4 SUDOERS File at Command Prompt - Can't Exit

So someone gifted me with an old MacBook G4 - and now stuck in Command Prompt.
I just tried to create a new admin - just to clean things up. I'm a complete newbie though  and got stuck in Sudoers command prompt with --INSERT-- at the end and it's not letting me exit. Help??

There is no such thing as a MacBook G4.  If it says iBook G4 on the screen, that is the name of the computer itself.  And that's not to be confused with the name iBook given to the iOS and Mavericks software for reading Apple published electronic books.  Apple when they changed to the Intel chip renamed their consumer machines MacBook.  Now the line between MacBook, MacBook Pro, and MacBook Air is more blurred as the 13" MacBook Pro has many of the features more expected of a consumer machine than a Pro machine.
iBook G4's with a minimum of 867 Mhz can handle Mac OS X 10.5 retail.   Otherwise they need Mac OS X 10.4.6 retail or earlier.  If they didn't have the original discs, you won't be able to run the old Mac OS 9 from 2001 on them.

    Hi,
    How to search specific text/string in pdf files from command prompt?
    Will be great if you can refer to any adobe provided command base utility to achieve the above target.

    You can't. The commandline parameters for Acrobat and Adobe Reader do not allow any type of commands to be run.

  • Disabled command prompt  (can't compile without batch file)

    i am a student and am having constent troubles from the administrator disallowing all access to the command prompt and i need to know how to gain access to it because we have had to compile using batch files, and it is rare that we have a chance to use the command prompt to compile instead.
    and when i say restricted i mean i open it and it says "disabled by administrator" and i don't know if it matters but we are running novell
    i know some of you know how to hack and would not have any problem with this but there is only 4 of us studing java (none of us know how to hack) and have ran out of ideas on how to unrestrict it so if anyone knows how please post and thanks and sorry for the typos i was in a hurry.

    "... we have asked the teacher and he says the administrator says that restrictions will not be lowered for anyone"
    This is such horsesh!t and I do not see for the like of me why you should have to tolerate it.
    See the steps above.
    Try [url http://www.scintilla.org]sKiTe you can do most command line stuff with the text area on the right such as appletviewer the -deprecation option and so on. Its a deceptively simple IDE that has a whole bundle of tricks that comes with it - very good not just for newbies - me too, I probably write 80%+ of my app development with it. Its also very, very lightweight at around 700KB so it can be easily moved about with floppies etc.
    Other than this, I would still judge that you have a right to kick up a storm about this and would further inform you that - without doubt - your instructor is a complete knob.

  • Executing .sql scripts file from command prompt

    I had created the .sql scripts for
    --Create Database
    --Create tables
    --Create Stored procedure
    I am using SQL server 2008.
    Now i want to deploy it into the target server using the command prompt.
    How can I call to execute that script on the target server?

    with few errors as "Incorrect Syntax near "GO"".
    Hello,
    GO is a command, which is only known & interpretted by SSMS + SqlCmd.exe; SQL Server engine / data access components don't know this command, therefore you get an error.
    See
    Query Options Execution (General Page); for SSMS you can change it from GO to any other term.

    have you tried typeing
    "cmd" or "command" into the dialog box produced by the Start->Run menu?
    If this does not work then try modifying the registry setting
    (win95 98 and me)
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
    WinOldApp]
    or
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\
    WinOldApp]
    to "1"
    If you do not have permission to do this. Then you might try downloading and installing one of the
    substitue command interpreters.

  • Macbook Air won't boot command prompts

    So, my friend bought a macbook air from another friend and that friend cannot remember their admin password. I tell her no problem I can reformat it for you since I have the boot disk by using utilities. Here is where I run into my problem. I hold down the option key on startup and the screen comes up with only a lock and a spot for a password, that I dont' know.
    So I try to enter single user mode (Command + S) so I can enter the commands to reset the password that way, but it does nothing and boots the computer as if I weren't pressing any buttons. My next thought was try resetting pram to make sure there are no problems there, well I booted with all the keys pressed but to be 100% hoenst not even sure if it reset.
    Long story short I need to reformat w/o knowing the admin password and/or reset the admin password so I can reformat. Any thoughts or ideas?
    Mac is a MacBook Air with OSX 10.6
    1.6 GHz intel core 2 duo processor
    2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Thanks in advanced for any advice.

    The seller implemented a Firmware Password. You need that password to boot the computer as well as to remove the firmware password. This is not the same as the admin password. Ask the "friend" what the password is.

  • Running a Program in JDeveloper using Command Prompt

    Hi,
    I downoladed Oracle JDeveloper 10g. I had written a simple java class called Echo. java. I want to run the file using command prompt. My JDK has the following path:
    F:\Sowmya
    My java file has the following path:
    F:\Sowmya\jdev\mywork\1\1\src\pkg1
    So, in order to compile the file, I gave the following command:
    F:\Sowmya\jdk\bin>javac F:\Sowmya\jdev\mywork\1\1\src\pkg1\Echo.java
    It worked and the Echo.class file was created.
    But, when I tried to run the file using the following command,
    F:\Sowmya\jdk\bin>java F:\Sowmya\jdev\mywork\1\1\src\pkg1\Echo
    Iam getting the following error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NOClassDefFoundError: F:\Sowmya\jdev\mywork\1\1\src\pkg1\Echo
    This didnt work either:
    F:\Sowmya\jdk\bin>java F:\Sowmya\jdev\mywork\1\1\classes\pkg1\Echo
    Iam getting the same error.
    Can any one please help me regarding this.
    Thank you,
    Sowmya.

    Yes, my class contains a main. It runs if I click run in JDeveloper. But, there is no output displayed. The following is the code:
    public class Echo {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
    for (String s: args) {
    System.out.println(s);
    }

  • How to call the javascript through Command prompt?

    I need to call the .js file through command prompt. And also through programming language like c++, java. Could you please advice me with samples.This is for "illustrator cs".

    You can also look into use of COM scripting interface to the Adobe programs. Unfortunately, this means you have to do some programming/scripting to create a (command line) script that you can execute like
    cscript C:\somePath\myScriptLauncher.vbs  C:\somePath\anAdobeScript.jsx
    or
    cscript C:\somePath\myScriptLauncher.js  C:\somePath\anAdobeScript.jsx
    the scripts can be written in VBScript (*.vbs) or Microsoft JScript (*.js) which can access COM objects thus the Adobe program's COM APIs.
    Nothing purely simple as a command line option in this solution. But it does offer customization as an advantage.
    This might be a slightly useful reference.
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3846626/is-it-possible-to-execute-jsx-scripts-from-outs ide-extendscript
    there's one post mentioning COM in there.
    And of course, you can also use COM through C++, Java, C#, Visual Basic, etc. as well, not restricted to VBScript and JScript, though I've found it's easier to use the latter two for COM.

  • Javac command in Command Prompt

    When I compile a .java file in Command Prompt I have to write the whole path to javac.exe - "C:\"Program Files"\Java\jdk1.5.0_07\bin\javac.exe PROBLEM.java"
    What do I have to do to so I could write just "javac PROBLEM.java" no mather in which directory I am?
    I also have to say that I can run java.exe from any directory but I can't do so with javac.exe
    Message was edited by:
    vedex

    I believe the location of "javac" inside jdk must be
    specified in systems variable so that he/she can
    compile it and run. His problem is that he wants to type javac MyClass.java rather than C:\jdk\bin\javac.exe MyClass.java In order to do this, he has to alter his PATH variable.
    This has nothing to do with Java. This is true of any executable you want to run without specifying the full path.

  • I have iMovie '11, and I am unable to access mpeg HD video files that I want to edit.  The files are fine (I can open and watch them using VLC), but I cannot seem to import the files into iMovie. File Import does not work.  Any suggestions??

    More detail: I have a bunch of mpeg HD video files that were shot on a SONY HDR-HC3 Handycam camcorder.  I would like to edit these into a single video production.  I can access and view the mpeg files using VLC (Quicktime does not work with them).  However, I seem to be unable to get the mpeg files to interface with iMovie '11 -- I cannot use the File --> Import command, nor can I drag-and-drop them into iMovie.
    Is there something anyone might suggest to get this to work?  Or are these files incompatible with iMovie?  If so, I assume I must purchase a different video editing software program (e.g. Adobe Premeir Pro).  Suggestions???
    Many thanks in advance for your time and consideration

      Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time  from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each. 
        To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation?  Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet. 
        Thanks
