Newbie:Cannot cd into Directory from Terminal

Hi,
I have installed Postgresql 8.3 for Mac. How do I cd into Postgresql 8.3 directory in Applications Directory from Terminal? Does Mac OS terminal allow space in Directory Name?
My command is:
cd /Applications/PostgreSQL 8.3
output:
-bash: cd: PostgreSQL: No such file or directory
But in Finder>Applications>PostgreSQL 8.3, it shows itself as a directory.
Regards,
Terence

In the future, please ask Terminal/Unix command line oriented questions in the Mac OS X Technologies -> Unix forum. There will be more people with Unix answers seeing your questions.

Change the home directory from terminal for another copy of the OS.

Mac Mini OS X 10.8.1
Main drive for OS Vertex 4 SSD
Data on other Drive Seagate Goflex Thunderblot 3TB on a 1 TB Partition.
Backup of both Main drive and Data drive on a 3rd drive.
When i boot into the back it uses the data from the thunder bolt drive and not the data drive backup.
If the orginial data drive ever became damaged and i need to point to the other data backup drive can this be done from terminal on another boot drive.
let says Drive A is the OS X 10.8
Drive B is the main data drive.
Drive C has 2 partition C1 for OS X and C2 for Data backup.
When booting from Drive C it gets its data from Drive B because its a clone of A.
If drive B becomes dmaged I will not be able to boot from drive C. ( This has happend )
With a Clean install on drive D I can boot. How can i use terminal to Tell Drive C1 to use data from C2 instead of Drive B?
Hope I explained this well.

Can you explain exactly what "the issue" is?
You can use dscl from the command line to change a home directory (as described in this hint), but that still requires you to be using that startup volume. Hence, it is no different than using System Preferences. If System Preferences won't work for you, then dscl probably wouldn't either.

Cannot remote into server from outside the network

I have two laptops that all I want is to have them able to VPN to my server. When the laptops are on my network, they are able to network in and see the server.   But when I go to Starbucks or McD's, I can connect to their network but I cannot VPN into my server. I am getting a message that LT2?? - VPN, of course I cannot remember exactly what the message said but, it does not work. I have changed the ports on the time capsule to 80, 1723 and something that is 4500. As you can tell I am NO expert but would like to understand what I am doing wrong.
I have CenturyLink and a time capsule that I have to pass through just to get to the server. What else am I missing?

Good advice from ebrind
I'll add to it:
- what IP address does your time capsule have?
     If your CenturyLink provides NAT and your Time Capsule is also setup for NAT, you will need to reconfigure either the TC or the CenturyLink to bridge mode and set the port forwarding in the device providing NAT.
- do you see any activity in the VPN Log?
- Your VPN server address which you set in your laptop should be the public address of your network, not the LAN address
- If you do make a successful VPN connection, don't expect to see the server like you do when you are on the LAN. If the LAN address of your server is 10.1.10.2, you'll need to connect to:   afp://10.1.10.2 (after a successful VPN connection)
- Lastly, do you need VPN? If you just need access to your files from the server, you can do this without VPN. Depending on your security requirements, you can simply map port 548 and access with: afp://[public-ip]   or use webdav with SSL.

I can access web but cannot sign into email from my laptop. I can sign into email from explorer, don't like it. Does anyone know what might be causing this?

I have always used Firefox and for web browsing and accessing my email account. During the last 2 days I upgraded my email home page and had to sign on again.
Since then, I can access the web using Firefox but cannot sign into my email, the sign in button seems to be locked
I can access my email account through Explorer, and from an alternative PC.

From your description that sounds like absolutely nothing happens, nothing moves I'd guess Adblock Plus extension might be blocking something, try disabling ADP at its toolbar icon, if you have the extension.

Cannot sign into Revel from PS Elements 12

I am having trouble signing into my Revel account from Photoshop Elelments 12. I have tried changing my Adobe ID and can get into my Revel account via internet and on iPad. I get a message saying that there is a problem with the internet server.

joanchops,
If I could get your problem right, you are able to signin from Revel app from iPad and adoberevel.com. However cannot signin from Elements. Could you try the follwoing:
1. Check your system date to ensure it is set correctly to today's date. If not, change it and restart revel agent.
2. If your password has some special characters like &, >, < etc, you might face issues signin from Elements. Suggest you to retry after changing password. For details you may refer to: http://helpx.adobe.com/elements-organizer/kb/invalid-characters-password.html

Cannot import into iMovie from iDVD

I have started to save my movies from my Sony Camera onto DVD using iDVD OneStep. But now I have discovered that I cannot use these DVD's to import the into iMovie.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks

probably you misunderstand the concept and workflow of the diff. iLife apps:
iDVD is the Disk Maker of iLife. no editor, no Movie Maker (allthough you're allowed to do basic things as slideshows etc...)
for editing, you have to import from camera via iMovie..
when editing is done, you share to iDVD, which finally produces the disks.. end of the road.
have you seen the tutorials?

Cannot log into Pinterest from Firefox

For the past few weeks, I've been unable to log into my Pinterest account. I use Firefox as my primary browser. I've gone back and forth with Pinterest tech support, to no avail, and they sent me here. <eye roll> I've tried all the easy things...deleting cache and cookies, trying in safe mode, trying with another browser, making sure the browser is up to date, etc. Pinterest won't let me log in on IE or Chrome either, on this computer; yet on my Windows Surface tablet, I can log in with no trouble.
Here's the error message I get: The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I didn't add any software right before this happened. I have always been able to get into Pinterest with no trouble, up till now. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Cannot log into T61 from remote computer with wired network and Windows Explorer.

Hi,
I am using a T61 7662-cto with Windows 7 Professional
When the T61 is connected on the home network with the wired network, I am not able to log into it remotely from another computer. On my second computer, I see the T61 with Windows Explorer but instead of getting the login window, it appears a Network Error with the message:
“Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network.” With a error code 0x80070035, “The network path was not found.” I tried the “Diagnose” button but it doesn’t give solution.
When the T61 is wireless connected, there is no problem. I can access it from my second computer.
I never have problem to connect to the second computer from the T61 with any connection type . I just updated the Intel Wireless LAN (bg, abg, abgn) for Windows 7 – ThinkPad, with the drivers required but it changes nothing.

Do you have a hint for this issue why the wired network gives problem?

Cannot log into WGM from remote machine

I have tired on two separate machines to get into WGM to my OS X Server 10.4.10. It is an OD Master. When I enter is the valid diradmin and password I get the following error message:
"The server failed to accept the login information you provided. Check the Name and Password and try to log in again or contact your network administrator."
I can log on to the server directly and it all works. I am rather miffed.
No solutions when googling.
Any ideas?

Ended up calling Apple and the brilliant David solved it. He had me go in as root using WGM from my client machine, which worked! It seems that both the diradmin and administrator accounts had the "administer the server" boxes unchecked.
I promise I didn't uncheck them. He did tell me that this sometimes happens, so root is the backup.

HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail. I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud. How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

I set up .mac, including email, around 2006. I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013.
I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11. I'm still using that machine.
In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account.
When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
Thanks,
William Postman

Cannot ssh into Mac from outside - help, please

Cross posting from another forum as suggested
This is a networking / DNS / Airport / SSH issue

Well, just for yuks, I would try configurating the
AEBS to forward port 22 rather than "another port
number", and see if that works.
The log snippet you posted says "Accepted password
for igor"; did you get prompted for your password
before ssh timed out? If so, that means that your
ssh client did manage to connect to your main
home Mac -- so maybe it isn't an AEBS
configuration problem
I suspect it is more of a How the Newer OS X Implemented SSH issue -- like turning on the reverse lookup by default.

Cannot get into itunes from my computer

Itunes previously worked for me and now im getting the error message, Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close we are sorry for the inconvenience. Then it asks if I want to send an error report or not. When I do it takes me to a troubleshooting page, the problem with that is, nothign on that page works for me. I cannot delete quicktime either. Any step-by-step suggestions? I want to get my new music on my ipod. HELP!!

top fixes for a new iTunes install/upgrade are
- turning off security software such as Norton before the install as Apple suggests
- installing QuickTime standalone, not regular
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html
- setting up Norton to allow iTunes
- scanning for malware with ewido (Free at www.ewido.net/en/)
- last but not least, using MSCONFIG to find Windows conflicts

I cannot get into the iTunes store. I keep getting error message 0x80092013

I have spent hours trying to get into the iTunes store without success. Error message 0X80092013 keeps appearing. Someone has suggested maybe a driver is missing. Please help if you can. (I can get into the store using my laptop. I cannot get into it from my desktop.) I'm using Windows Vista.

many thanks.
I am in my iTunes application and when I press the link to connect to the iTunes Store, it starts churning, and churning, but never connects. It has churned for hours and when I finally click the "X" to close it, I get error code 11222.
I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Can ssh into client iMac but cannot mount home directory ...

I've got a server running 10.4.11 and a bunch of client iMacs (10.5.n). If I ssh into a client iMac it lets me log in but cannot mount my home directory (which lives on the server). Obviously ssh is getting my credentials from the server but isn't getting (or cannot get) the information to mount my disk. If I log in through the gui on the client it all works fine. I suspect this is less of an error and more of a design. Is there a way to get the clients to mount my home when logging in with ssh? If not then Apple presumably has a reason for disallowing this behaviour. Is there a way around this? Perhaps with mount_afp?
We want to be able to log into many client iMacs at once to run computations on them. Eventually we want to do this on a suite of XServes and XGrid. This is all very easy with linux and nfs and I was expecting the same sort of ability through OS X. I know that I can export everything from the server with nfs (though that may not solve my problem) but I only have the one system and multiple users and I can't really experiment while they are connected.
Suggestions? Comments? If there are obvious examples of this elsewhere please point me toward them.

Well it's never worked that way for me. Do you actually use this method to log in?
I've gone through all of the server logs, watching what gets added as I log on to a client. I don't see anything there that suggests it is even attempting to mount the home directory. I also watched on the client and didn't see any errors. When I ssh into a client I see the following message on the terminal, "Could not chdir to home directory /Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1/username: Unknown error: 118" This suggests that the client knows where my home should be but doesn't know how to mount it.
I have enabled the basic setup on my server. User accounts have Home URLs like "afp://server.some.place/UsersR1/username" and Full Paths like "/Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1" (R1 is a RAID disk). UsersR1 has been made into a Share Point and Server Admin tells me that the disk "will be automatically mounted using the AFP protocol as /Network/Servers/R1 on client machines". This part doesn't seem to be true as when I log into a client through the GUI the actual path that is mounted as my home is /Network/Servers/server.some.place/R1" (pwd in my home directory returns /Network/Servers/server.some.place/Volumes/R1/UsersR1/username which is a actually rather inconvenient).
Under the Advanced tab in the Workgroup Manager, Accounts pane, I've got "Allow simultaneous login on managed computers". This seems to work but also seems only to apply to the GUI, that is I can log onto several clients at once.
How do I ask a client machine what home directory information it is getting from the server for any particular user? Is there some setup on the client machines that will enable automatic mounting of homes through ssh? On the clients, the Directory Utility, which I have used to connect the client to a Directory Server, has a Mounts pane which allows me to "Edit automatic NFS mounts for this computer". I am not exporting any NFS from the server, but perhaps this is the way to make it work?
Perhaps what I want to requires Kerberos? I don't have that enabled.
When I have done this on a cluster of linux machines I exported the home directory from the server with NFS (exportfs) and then, using NIS and automount on the clients it "just worked". It was very simple. If it is supposed to work with Macs and OS X, it may be simple but it's not obvious.

9.2.0.6 runInstaller cannot write into its own installation directory

I would like to install the 9.2.0.6 patchset on a freshly installed 9.2.0.4_linux_x86_64 (AMD). The system is RedHat EL AS 3. I have installed j2re1.4.2_07 (because the Java brought by Oracle does not even start the VM ...) and edited the ./install/oraparam.ini to use our own JRE.
runInstaller tells me that all system requirements are met. But - alas - OUI says that it cannot write into the directory that it created itself (tmp/OracleInstall...). The rights matrix of this directory is drwxr-xr-x oracle oinstall, even if I set umask to 0000. There are several GB free.
The last message is
: file or directory not found
What is going on here (or rather what isn't)? What file is OUI looking for?
Thanks in advance for kind replies

Ivan,
the rights for /tmp were already rwxrwxrwt. Even if I remove the sticky bit, the error remains. I have the strange feeling that this is not a rights problem. Do you have any idea what
: file or directory not found
is supposed to mean? What file is OUI looking for? Does OUI 10.1.0.3.0 check for temporary files of other OUI versions (e.g. OUI 2.2.0.18.0 bundeled with Oracle 9.2.0.4)?
I think I will start from scratch: remove and reinstall 9.2.0.4 and then try the patch installation again.
Frank
