Parallels, Terminal Command & lost Memory

Recently Bought Parallels Desktop Running MacPro with 4Meg Ram
Riser A 512,512,1G,1G
RiserB 512,512,0,0
Application will not run with more than 3.5 megs installed but noticed in the Offical Blog http://parallelsvirtualization.blogspot.com/
a workaround where you can run a terminal command
sudo nvram boot-args="maxmem=3500"
And get the app to work.
It does.
System profiler now says I only have 3.42 Megs of Ram.
The blog also says to return your Computer back to recognize all installed memory.
Run Terminal again: sudo nvram boot-args="maxmem=YOURMEMORYTOTAL"
MemoryTotal is 4000
Computer will not acknowledge a certain pair of Apple 512 Dimms regardless of which riser or slot I install them.
Also zapped Pram
Have I fried them??
In way over my head.
Thanks for any input
MacPro 2X2.66 Dual Core Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7) 4Meg Ram 667 DDR2 FB-DIMM
MacPro 2X2.66 Dual Core Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7) 4Meg Ram 667 DDR2 FB-DIMM

Thanks again. Took your advice moved 2X1Gigs to Riser A.
4X 512 to Riser B.
No luck with this or new Terminal command.
Played with different configurations on Riser B
Original 512 Dimms and Purchased 512 Dimms.
I'm begining to think it's one Dimm that's the problem not a pair.
I think I'm just going to have to have it serviced.

Hi,
The APs image is LWAPP and to access the config t command we need to convert the IOS to Autonomous.. here is the step by step procedure that we need to follow to get the issue resolved..
C1130 Software (C1130-RCVK9W8-M)
I request you to do download any image from the below link and perform the conversion from LWAPP image to autonomous..
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=279537722&flowid=6775&softwareid=280805680&release=12.4.25d-JA&rellifecycle=ED&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=latest
the method to convert is..
download TFTPd32 from google and install it on ur PC.. point the image that you have downloaded in the TFTP server..
connect a ethernet cable between ur laptop and AP.. both should be in the same subnet.. and connect a console cable and get the hyperterminal console access and issue the command..
AP>en
AP#debug lwapp console cli or debug capwap console cli
AP#config t
AP(confg)int fa 0
AP(confg-if)ip addr (same subnet as that of the laptop)
AP(confg-if)end
AP#archieve download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp:///
eg-
Assuming tftp ip address is 10.0.0.1 and the image is c1130-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA.tar, then..
AP#archieve download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.1/c1130-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA.tar
The AP will reload and it will come up with IOS image and you will be able to enter the config mode
lemme know if this answered your question..
Regards
Surendra

Help, i made a terminal command and i don't know how to undo it.

i found my long lost folder of terminal commands.. and i forgot what this one did, so i clicked it (i made the commands into a "unix executable file").. and all my files on my desktop are now hidden.. the only way to find them is to type in the file name into finder.
the command i typed in was
while (true) do
chflags hidden ~/Desktop/*
done
and now everything on my desktop is gone, and i dont know how to undo it, I undid once about 3 months ago when i wrote it, but i forgot what i did. I tried counterering the command with others but it isn't doing anything. thank you
edit: i know this command cant destroy my system because it wasn't a sudo, but still, i had all my class work on my laptop and now it's all invisible

Hi, try this...
while (true) do
chflags nohidden ~/Desktop/*
done

I've used a terminal command to change default send keyboard shortcut and now it doesn't work at all!

My friend provided me with a Terminal command allow me to use Cmd+Enter to send an email (muscle memory from Outlook, hard to forget!)
Command was:
defaults write com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents -dict-add "Send" "@\\U21a9"
Did that, and it didn't add the Cmd+Enter instruction but removed the Cmd+Shift+D instruction, so I had NO keyboard shortcut. Then Cmd+Enter started working. For a while. Now I'm back to getting the irritating error bleep sound, and having no functional keyboard shortcut for sending mail.
Does anybody have any advice?

Try
defaults delete com.apple.mail NSUserKeyEquivalents
Then, relaunch Mail.

Terminal Command to Re-Mount an Unmounted Local Disk Partition?

Hello,
Does anyone know a terminal command (or applescript command) to re-mount an unmounted local disk partition? I know it can be done using the DiskUtility, but I would like to do it from the Terminal without launching another program.

Hi Tom,
   AppleScript will execute anything that you can exectute from the command line that isn't interactive but it won't execute it in the same way. By that I mean that the environment will be more vanilla. In this case the problem is that the path is rather basic. All you have to do is to use an absolute path to the script and it should work. Apple has a pretty good reference for the mechanism, Technical Note TN2065: do shell script in AppleScript.
   Is wakeonlan basically the same thing as waking upon receipt of a "magic packet"? I think you can easily make Mac OS X do that by itself. Just open System Preferences and the "Options" tab of the "Energy Saver" pane. Check the checkbox beside "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access".

Terminal command for tabs to open in same window

anyone know the terminal command to have all links open in tabs instead of a new window - why does mac call it tabs when it does not even actually work - any help would be great - i had the command and i deleted it......driving me nuts

Greetings,
There is no such command; there is a command to force targeted links to open in new tabs, but it will have no effect on links that are controlled by JavaScript. Open Terminal and enter:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClickCreateTabs -bool true
press Enter or Return, then quit Terminal and restart Safari.

I get "App Store Disabled" on my MacBook Pro due to profile issues. What Terminal command can I use to reset profile settings?

After transferring documents from one MacBook Pro to another I get some weird errors due to settings that seem to have transferred over. One is that the Mac App Store is disabled.
Are there any Unix / Terminal commands I can use to reset these?

How can I change the "Ask to join new networks" option using a terminal command?

We are currently switching to a new wireless network throughout our school district and I have pushed commands to connect to the new and remove the old. However, any Macs that have "Ask to join new networks" enabled are jumping over to our unsecure guest network, even if that network has been removed from the list of Preferred Networks. So far the fix has been to remove the guest network from the list of Preferred Networks and then disable Ask to join. The only issue I'm running into now is I have been unable to find a terminal command to change this setting. Once I have the command I can write a script and send that out to all of the Macs.
So is there a way to disable "Ask to join new networks" using command line?

sed -i "" 's/Prompt/DoNothing/' /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist

What are the terminal commands to list all plugins, extensions, etc?

I remember a while ago reading a thread on diagnosing kernel panics and such, where someone listed a number of commands (I think there were four separate terminal commands) which produced lists of plugins, daemons, background enhancers, extensions etc which could sap resources or drive up temperature without necessarily showing up in activity monitor or anything like that.
Anyone know what these commands are? I'm having some serious overheating problems at the moment when doing nothing but for instance watching a youtube video with no other processes running so I'd like to get these dumps and see if there's anything installed which could be causing trouble.

How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

How do I back up the music and apps etc. I restored my computer and I reinstalled iTunes, I was told something about a terminal command line, what does that mean? Please help

- Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

How to reset the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OSX?

Do anyone knows how to set the network IP address from terminal/command line in Mac OS X?

how about a GUI, ever heard of a GUI? it's this really neat thing, where you don't have to worry about remembering long strings of text to do something. Mac OS X actually has a rather decent one (that was sarcasm by the way, Mac is the best) you could have it done in like 30 sec, if you use the network pane of system preferences.

Can't seem to sync my phone with iCal because I get a message that says:No writable calendar. I tried the suggestions I found in Help including a Terminal command to no avail.

Can't seem to sync my phone with iCal because I get a message that says:No writable calendar. I tried the suggestions I found in Help including a Terminal command to no avail.

I can only suggest you now need to somehow link your mobile to sync with the new calendar 'On my Mac'.
I have a work Blackberry whose calendar I sync with an iCal calendar 'On my Mac' using a usb lead and the Blackberry Desktop Manager for Mac. This free piece of software from Blackberry, automatically starts up as soon as I connect the usb to the iMac and it then prompts me to select which calendar 'On the iMac', which is writable, that I want my Blackberry to sync to.

Terminal command to refresh USB peripheral device

I'm running OS 10.7.5, and I have a recurring problem with the USB ports on my Mac mini. After several days of up-time, one or more of the ports will sometimes become non-responsive. This seems to be software related, because logging off and logging back into the machine always fixes the problem (as does a restart and a cold-reboot). I was thinking maybe the "checklist" of device filenames somehow gets corrupted over time, and needs to be recreated.
Does anyone know how to refresh the list of peripheral devices without restarting, rebooting, or logging off? Ideally a terminal command? I'm hoping not to have to keep shutting down the session each time this happens to get my list of connected devices back.
Thanks very much for your suggestions for the newbie.

Hi Korby,
If you are having difficulties with USB devices such as you describe, I would suggest resetting your Mac mini’s parameter RAM, as described in this article -
About NVRAM and PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
Specifically -
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

How to make Apple Script do a terminal command

Hey,
I am wondering how can I make an AppleScript do the following command :
"networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
Please mention step by step since I'm new to AppleScript
Best Regards,
Nadav.

To run a terminal command it is usually sufficient to use do shell script. So for your command it would be
do shell script "networksetup -setdnsservers Wi-Fi 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4"
note if the command requires administrator privileges you would need to do
do shell script "command" with administrator privileges
will prompt for the password when the script is run.
do shell script "command" user name "me" password "mypassword" with administrator privileges
will store the password and username in the script. More convenient but much less secure.
