Newgrp command missing from Apple's implementation of x11

Hi,
Please excuse me if I've sent this to the wrong forum. I'm new to the Apple discussion groups.
It seems as if Apple has left the newgrp command out of their x11 implementation (this is not specific to hardware and I've seen this in both Tiger & Leopard). I have several groups established on my Macbook Pro and need to changed between them in my shell. Can someone tell me how to do this?

I don't usually use X11, but I do use the terminal a lot, and I just checked -
newgrp
works in both X11 and terminal
Have you tried
man newgrp
??

  • "show in itunes store" command missing from video library

    updated to itunes 11.1, and ios7.
    This isn't a pro or con diatribe, just a list of the minorish bugs that i have noticed:
    First (probable?) bug:
    With the latest update, the (control click) "show in itunes store" command is missing from all video layouts (unwatched, shows, genres) except "list".
    I assume this is just a temporary bug, as it limits easy access to purchasable store content.
    This is especially important since "check for available downloads", while still around, has been, as far as i can tell, completely nonfunctional for months.
    I now have all my email notifications for passes turned on, and just manually click on the emails to download new content.
    However, especially for shows with extra content, sometimes the email doesn't download the actual show, just the extra content.
    for this reason, and for non pass shows, and just for general shopping and impulse buys, I liked to use the "show in itunes store" to easily check shows that i am currently interested in.
    except that now it is gone.
    Another (probable) bug:
    I have a lot of purchased content, so i have the cloud turned off to control the flow of menu information.  i don't need to see everything i have purchased all the time, only the newest shows that i actually have loaded onto the ipad.  I still just load in the shows i want to watch from my main computer after i have downloaded them from apple to the hard drive, which i guess is now a bit old fashioned.  ios7 doesn't seem to like this very much, as it initially displays the cloud content when opening the "video" app, before blanking and replacing it with the edited down version. But the real bug is this:
    Now when i delete a video on the ipad, it crashes the "video" app.
    And, instead of recognizing the delete when i sync to the computer, it ignores it and reloads the video onto the ipad.
    ......And finally:
    There is still a tendency for the ipad and itunes to throw up the "sign in" pop up, often multiple times in a row, anywhere and for no reason, even when i am already signed in. Sometimes i can just hit "cancel" and it disappears, other times it forces me to retype my password.  It's gotten a lot better and less frequent than when it first started earlier this year, but it's still around. 
    Having said this, I'm still, of course, a huge fan of the change earlier this year that keeps track of purchases and allows me redownload, instead of the old "lose it and its gone, tough luck" policy. 

    Ha.  Maybe it's just me then.  When i control click on a show, i'm getting:
    In Library/TV Shows:  Unwatched, Shows, and Genres:
    play "[show]"
    mark as watched
    mark as unwatched
    [depending on blue dot]
    get info
    rating
    show description
    show in finder
    reset plays
    show in playlist
    copy
    as opposed to, in List (and everywhere else):
    play "[show]"
    mark as watched
    mark as unwatched
    [depending on blue dot]
    get info
    rating
    show description
    show in finder
    show in itunes store
    get album artwork
    reset plays
    consolidate files
    new playlist from selection
    add to playlist
    show in playlist
    copy
    delete
    uncheck selection
    apply sort field
    I have my sidebar turned on, but it doesn't seem to make a difference if it is showing or not.
    I looked around in settings, view, and window for a way to modify the control click menu, but couldn't find anything.
    It's a very minor issue.
    If your menu is working, maybe I just need to delete my copy of itunes and reinstall.  Or change a setting somewhere.

  • Why is the "Send to iDVD" command missing from the share menu in iPhoto 9.4.3 when trying to send a slideshow to iDVD?

    How come the "Send to iDVD" command is missing from the share menu? In iPhoto I used to be able to send my slideshows to iDVD simply my clicking on the slideshow, selecting the "Share" menu at the top and going to "Send to iDVD". Now in iPhoto 9.4.3 that option is missing.
    Further i am also using iDVD 7.1.2 and running OSX version 10.8.3.
    Thanks!

    Export the slideshow via the Export button at the bottom of the slideshow window with Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, choose a theme and drag the exported movie file to the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the  File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • Why is the macbook missing from Apple online store ?

    Why is the Macbook missing from the Apple Online store ? Can someone let me know what's going on ?

    Gone, *poof*.
    I miss it and I think Apple should have kept it around as it's low key machine, great for kids and adults who didn't like a lot of flash.
    Now the 13" MacBook Pro is considered the equivalent on a similar performance basis, however it has the bright silver rich looking case that draws thieves attention and really isn't a "Pro" machine at all with it's inferior low performing integrated graphics.
    Heck most $500-$800 Windows laptops are just the same in performance and has a larger 15" screen.
    If you need a anti-glare screen you have to opt for the 15" or 17" MacBook Pro and pay $50 more for the anti-glare, but it's worth it. The 13" doesn't have a anti-glare option, but we are petitioning Apple to include that option.
    I think Apple considered the MacBook as a educational computer, thus replaced it for a line of iPads which make considerable more margins and provides less hardware benefits as all the hardware features, stand, keyboard etc. are separate purchases.

  • Help needed! GMail sent items missing from Apple Mail!

    I need your help to solve a problem that I've identified recently in Apple Mail with a GMail account:
    I have a POP-enabled GMail account in Mail, but also with IMAP functionality enabled through GMail's webmail settings (probably because I access it also from my iPad).
    However, I notice that my local "Sent" mailbox in Mail only contains some 140 messages, even if a visit to GMail's webmail page shows me that I have at least 1200 "sent" messages.
    I must note that my advanced mailbox settings in Mail do NOT allow for automatic deletion of sent items.
    So my question is: how to make sure that I do not lose ANY sent items from GMail or any other account for that matter (i.e., that whatever is sent remains in the local "sent" mailbox in Mail)? Am I missing something?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help.

    Or am I saying something stupid?
    No I don't think so. But from what you're saying, the only copies of sent messages on your computer will be what you are sending from the computer. The messages sent from the iPad or website are not stored on the computer. If it were all set as IMAP, they will be available on all devices.
    Thanks a lot for your attentive reply - my only concern is that, when I activate IMAP, I won't be able anymore to have a steady copy of all items in my sent items folder on Apple Mail, nor to delete what I want at will.
    Changing it to IMAP will make the all sent items available on the server to your computer, website, and other devices. They will always be there as long as you don't delete them from the server. The messages you manually delete will delete them from the server and all devices. If you want a local backup, then copy them to a local folder which will not remove them from the server or move them to a local folder which will delete them from the server.
    Auto syncing does not in any way interfere with local folders on the Mac. The only IMAP folders you can sync are the inbox, sent, drafts, and junk. Inbox is the only mailbox that has to be synced (it's done automatically and you can't change it). I also sync the Sent and Trash. I don't sync (store messages on the server) the drafts or junk mailbox.
    I don't understand what you mean by not being able to delete messages from the Inbox. I do it all the time. What happens when you delete it depends on your settings in gmail. Gmail has some peculiar settings like having a deleted items folder besides the Trash folder.  The default is to delete from inbox, it goes to the deleted items folder. Delete it from there, and it goes to Trash. Delete it from trash to get rid of it. The fact is that the All Mail folder shows the message no matter what folder it in. I have mine set to move it straight to the trash when moved from the last visible IMAP folder. So, when I delete it from Mail's Inbox, it moves it to the trash just as local messages do.
    If you plan to do your email from the computer only, then POP is fine. If you plan to use the website and iPad also, then IMAP is the way to go.
    That way everything in mail is available no matter where you look at it. The only things you won't see is what you move to local folders.
    Seems like you should go to gmail's website and read the help files to become more familiar with it. Also look at all the settings available (expecially the Labels Tab, Accounts tab, and Forwarding Tab. These settings will be what you will use mostly to customize how it works and flows with the Mac. If you're going to use IMAP, you need to understand what they do exactly and what you want them to do for you.
    My sole objective: to keep ALL messages in Apple Mail (except those I expressly delete), as well as ALL messages in Google.
    IMAP does exactly this for you already. By leaving it on the server, they are on the computer. In Mails preference settings in the Accounts / Advanced Tab, for IMAP accounts keep the setting for storing messages for offline viewing. That way Mail actually does store a copy locally until you delete it from the server. And that will be backed up with your computer backup.
    And what you do delete from any device will duplicate it elsewhere.

  • TV Show Episodes on iTunes Missing from Apple TV

    I've got Apple TV 2.0 and iTunes 7.6.1. Apple TV is set for automatic sync.
    I bought six episodes of a TV show two days ago, but only the first two episodes appear in the list of shows. If I expand Apple TV in the devices list and look at TV Shows, it shows those first two episodes as being on the Apple TV.
    Now, I've watched both episodes and I'd like to watch the 3rd, but I can't figure out how to get to it. Apple TV seems to be syncing fine with my Mac (it shows up as syncing every so often in iTunes). How can I view more episodes of this show?

    Whether iTunes has synced all six episodes to your Apple TV or is planning on streaming them, all six episodes should appear on your TV. (When iTunes is running on your Mac, otherwise +only synced+ items appear on your Apple TV.) Do you have "Show only the synced items on my Apple TV" selected in iTunes, under the Summary tab?
    Although I don't have a definitive answer, what I'd try is:
    1) Quit and restart iTunes. Ensure that your Apple TV can see iTunes, perhaps by downloading some podcast to your Mac and verifying that you can see it on your Apple TV.
    2) In iTunes, switch to Custom Sync and then go to the TV Shows tab and sync All Episodes of just that one show. Remember to press the Sync button.
    3) Try restarting the Apple TV by holding both the Menu and Down arrow buttons for several seconds (six?).
    4) Try playing the troublesome episodes in iTunes. Ensure that they're marked as Not New (right click the episodes and select "Mark as Not New" from the context menu).
    Good luck!

  • A huge amount of businesses missing from Apple maps

    Hi all,
    I like so many other people am posting up about the new Apple Maps that have been forced upon us. I've been aware of the major mistakes on the news, ie misplaced towns and railway stations but I think there is a bigger problem that isn't being as well addressed. That is the massive amount of small scale data that is missing all together. Over the last two hours I've been testing a few places I know very well and had some really shocking results. I live in Sale (Manchester) and we are lucky to have lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops. Out of the six long established coffee shops only one appears on Apple maps! Out of all the many restaurants (40+) six appear. Also many businesses that are on the map with the icons Apple have used are in completely the wrong place.
    So I also did a search for pubs in a place called Longridge I know very well and out of the ten pubs one appears as a result but if you zoom in a further three can be seen using the icons. I have also noticed that the M60 doesn't have any junction numbers which made travelling to a venue on Saturday difficult, I ended up looking at Googlemaps through the safari browser but ofc it's now sluggish and difficult to use as its not integrated.
    So if Apple maps perform as bad as this across the UK then it's no even close to being as reliable as I'd need it to be, I just don't feel I can trust what it's telling me and that's the worst situation to be in when you rely on a map to get around so much.
    I am a huge fan of Apple products but am very aware they are not perfect, but even with the no flash support thing, you know there is a reason behind what they are trying to do. However for the first time in a long time I'm now wondering what the **** Apple are playing at. Surely they must know how bad this software is right? I would love to know how it all panned out, ie did Apple get pushed by Google or did they jump? I mean its just insane, Google Maps is already doing everything the customer want so why not carry on using them? Are Apple so stubborn that they would rather nobble every one of their loyal customers than hold hands with Google. I don't know, if anyone out there has any info on what actually happened here then please post up.
    As far as I can see Apple Maps is nowhere near ready (although the 3D cities are very nice) and so I'm really hoping they realise this isn't on.
    Cheers,
    Lee

    Nokia did the same mistake several years ago stop listening customers!
    Now apple is doing the same thing.. if the management has any common sense they will give people to option downgrade (old users) and option to choose between map google and apple maps...
    Challenge for apple maps....give your customer choice to choose between maps google and maps apple
    then make apple maps so much better that people want volunterily to choose to apple maps?
    Is this too much to ask?
    Apple are you realizing how much corporate customers you are forcing to move to android phone because of this?
    We want our maps google back!

  • HT200126 "TV Shows" icon missing from Apple TV Main Menu

    It appears that the Apple TV software update 5.3 has removed the "TV Shows" icon from the main menu.  Now, I no longer have AppleTV access to the TV shows I have purchased and I am unable to search/purchase other TV shows.  Has anyone similar findings?
    Note:  Parental Controls are confirmed to have not hidden the "TV Shows" icon; in fact, the "TV Shows" icon does not appear in my Apple TV's Parental Controls settings.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    There appears to be a large increase in this type of problem at this time, it seems that that there is a problem at Apple's end, but I couldn't at all be sure.
    There are no issues being reported at Apple’s System Status page, but this status may yet be updated and it may be you need to try again a little later.
    This isn't affecting me here in the UK, where exactly are you.
    So far I have noted users in the following locations having similar problems:
    USA
    If this is a problem at Apple’s end, it rarely happens, however when it does only Apple can fix it. When this has occurred previously it has usually been resolved in a few hours or slightly more.

  • CD DVD print size is missing from Apple print menu options

    Hi all,
    I wonder if anyone has this same problem I'm trying to fix. Thanks for you input, is much appreciated.
    When I bought my Canon Pixma MG 5350 that can print over blank printable CD or DVD, there was an option to choose the CD / DVD size. You could even choose to print 120 or 80 mm sizes. But after a while when I went back to print a DVD, those sizes were gone for good and there was only one size labeled something like "Disk tray G" (my system is not in English so it can be different for you).
    I tried it although I didn't know how would this succeed if I had to print a small DVD and it failed. A portion of the DVD was not printed and left blank because the DVD position was moved away from the real tray size, so there was this portion not printed in the DVD but printed over the tray plastic!
    I reseted the printer configuration, tried to update it and everything possible but CD / DVD sizes are just gone. I can print using the Canon software, however I'd like to use Apple printer dialog as I'd like to print from Photoshop, Illustrator, Pages etc. directly. My solution now is to export an image and print using the Canon software but this is not how it worked before.
    I contacted Canon about this and they are "investigating" this. As the problem is in the generic print options in the System maybe this can be a driver problem or a change. It happens in both an iMac and a Macbook with OSX 10.9.4, everything is updated and working normally. Printer has the latest firmware and software and I reseted the print configuration in the Mac, also reseted the printer to factory defaults, etc.
    Does this happen to anyone trying to print CD / DVD from the System print options? Thank you.

    As far as I know, you can only print CD/DVD's on Canon's MG and MX series from Canon's Easy PhotoPrint or Image Garden applications. I've never seen a way to print from non-Canon applications. So I would say that what you are experiencing is specification and I would be interested to read if Canon came back to you with a solution.

  • Role-based view commands missing from config

    Hi All,
    I set up a 2960G with IOS 12.2(44)SE6 and created a role-based view to be used by our helpdesk.  One of the things they need to do is add rules to a MAC ACL on the switch.  I've successfully created a view for them and can include and exclude most commands, however, when I try to include the "commands mac-enacle include all permit" command, I get no syntax error, and there is no line in my configuration reflecting the change. As it stands, from the helpdesk view (named smco) I can get into mac acl configuration mode, but I can't issue any of the sub commands.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  I tried upgraded to 12.2(55)SE and had the same result.
    The current configuration for the parser view is as follows:
    parser view smco
    secret 5 hashed_pw
    commands configure include mac access-list extended
    commands configure include all mac access-list
    commands configure include mac
    commands exec include configure terminal
    commands exec include configure

    After I issue the command "commands mac-enacl include all permit" there is no line in my startup or running configuration that says: "commands mac-enacl include all permit" or anything that closely resembles that.
    I've tested with multiple local accounts.  After authenticating, I issue the "enable view smco".

  • HT2534 Verification missing from apple id email

    I have received email after making i d infact 3.  To 4 times but no link for verification was send what do i do now

    If you are trying to change the iCloud ID ("email") on your phone, you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted.  If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Sudo command missing from Terminal app

    Its not missing, it simply cannot determine if your user is allowed to sudo since it can't find any sources. This is usually an indication of a corrupt installation.
