Problem with Terminal.app - unable to input '^' (Shift + 6)

Hello everyone,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with Terminal since this morning: I'm not able to input symbol '^' (Shift + 6) in any terminal application. Both Terminal.app and iTerm.app show the same problem. I'm able to input '^' in all other applications, as you can see, without any problem. Is it something related to key bindings? Anybody with similar problems?
Thanks,
Luca

What terminal emulation are you using? Which shell? I suggest you look into whatever terminal emulation you are using. Try googling for the type of terminal emulation you are using to see if that sheds any light on this issue.

Problem with Terminal.app after upgrade

Hi,
I just installed Tiger over Panther. Everything went and seems just fine, except:
When I try to run Terminal, I see:
You are not authorized to run this application.
The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.
I am not sure I understand from the message what is the problem:
a) Not authorized should mean Unix user permissions, right?
(In Finder's info window, I see :
- you can read/write
- Owner: system
- Group: admin
- Access: r/w
Seems bad as I am supposed to rwx, but that I guess is just Finder-specific simplification:-).
From the other hand,
b) an "illegal value" (whatever it is - say /bin/mabooka) should be possible to just change - ?
How?
The Terminal is not giving me any options except "Quit".
The box is single-user, the admin is myself...
Please help if you saw something similar... Thanks!

Thanks Ali,
It was hard to find the solution in search list, but it was there.
The correct answer is:
================
Re: Terminal: Not authorized to run app... shell has an illegal value?!!

Click on Terminal.app to select it, CMD+I, and check the ownership and permissions. It should show that you have R&W. If so, then drag ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist file to the desktop, log out and back in, and try launching it again.
================
Also it was entertaining to read and then use Netinfo Manager:
Using this utility, I've found that my shell was set to "bin/tc" (instead of /bin/tcsh, as I set it years ago on Panther).
Apparently:
1) there is a bug in installation (who else could change "tsch" to "tc"?!?);
2) there is a bug in the message ("You are not authorized..."): -- nothing to do with authorization.
In any case, the problem's been solved, many thanks.

Problem with Terminal.app

I was messing with Privoxy a little while ago. While executing the "StartPrivoxy.command" file something must've gotten corrupted or changed because now everytime I start the terminal or open a new one I am unable to do anything.
This is the text I get:
"Last login: Sat Sep 8 22:15:21 on ttyp1
/Library/Privoxy/StartPrivoxy.command; exit
Welcome to Darwin!
Kamui:~ Kypt$ /Library/Privoxy/StartPrivoxy.command; exit
Sep 08 22:18:25 Privoxy(000000a0) Info: loading configuration file '/Library/Privoxy/config':
Sep 08 22:18:26 Privoxy(000000a0) Fatal error: can't bind to 127.0.0.1:8118: There may be another Privoxy or some other proxy running on port 8118
logout
[Process completed]
As you can see, as soon as the shell opens up the command gets inputed and then logs out, leaving me unable to use it. This seems to be shell-agnostic since I've tried the other shells that OSX comes bundled up with and they all start w/ that. I've checked /etc/profile and the individual shell's configuration files to find something which may be burnt into a configuration but I can't find the culprit. Any idea of where to look? I'd hate to have to do an archive install just for this..
Thanks

Found it, needed to delete the .plist. Thanks

HT1933 Has anyone else had a problem with the app " Storage War$" it costs £1.99 and doesn't work???

Hi I have been having a problem with an app I have purchased, it cost £1.99 and does not match the description
This was a waste of time and I am outraged that Apple have not checked the game after it's reviews. However I want to get my money back as I could buy a different app with the small sum of money. This app did not clearly state that it wasn't a game to play just to watch. A review quote " I want my money back worst app ever! Every button does the same thing home, shop, my items and the actions all take you to the auction. Plus it's the same 5 pictures over and over some worth 900 some 250 just buy 250 absolute joke of a game save your money people"there are 26 others like this how many is enough for you to take action. the only reason for this app purchase was because it was an impulse buy what if there is another 27 impulse buys and it then continues
How can I try and get that app off the AppStore and get my money back as I have not been given a receipt yet ?

What a terrible coincidence, nick70! I can assure that most updates go smoothly. I'm sorry to hear that yours didn't. If you're unable to power your device back on, we may need to get a replacement device out to you. Please follow/DM me ( Chauncey_VZW ) with your contact information, and I'd be happy to resolve this for you! I look forward to hearing back from you.

Problems with n97 apps connecting to network (Voda...

Problems with n97 apps connecting to network (Vodafone UK – 3G)
Recently a number of my apps which used to connect automatically to the internet (which ever was available – known wi-fi or 3g) have stopped doing this. They now only connect to one known wi-fi.
I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling each app, but this hasn’t solved the problem. I’ve checked for software updates and do not believe any have been applied or are available. All apps have been downloaded via Ovi on the phone. I still am able to access the internet by the web browser which was installed on the phone and via google maps (which also still manages GPS position, search, etc).
The apps which I notice causing a problem are:
Sainsbury’s/nectar
Tesco
Map my tracks
Snaptu
Opera Mini
Any one got any ideas???

I have the same problem since i updated my mac to 10.5.6.
Each time I have to do a diagnostic and retype the WEP password to have the internet connection.

Problems with Remote App on iOS 4?

I have a new iPhone 4 and tried to use the Remote App in Connection with Apple TV. While I'am able to pair the remote app with Apple TV, I cannot use it properly. It works for a while, then it get's disconnected with a message that maybe a Firewall might be activated in the Router.
I have no problems with Remote App connected to my iTunes Library. I also tried it with a iPod Touch which is still on iOS 3.1.3, no problems to connect to the Apple TV from there as well.
Are there any known problems with iOS 4 and Apple TV?

i have the remote app on my iphone4 and it's connected to 2 appletv's.
i don't experience any dropping of connection etc.
May I ask what wifi hardware you use? It might be an wifi issue, but one which is only related with the "Bonjour" protocol which seems to be used for the Remote App. I found this thread which is older (iOS 3) but describing exactly the same problems:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2048555&start=0&tstart=0
bear in mind that the iphone4 is now "n" wifi compatible (2.4Ghz), so could it be that the "n" part of your network is poor and thus why you only see the problem on the iphone4 ?
At least it is not poor when using it from other devices or moving a lot of data in other Apps. It is all Apple Hardware (nothing older than 2 years), and maybe that's the problem. I never had network hardware which made so much trouble, as Apples Airport series. I wouldn't wonder if it is an incompatibility between a new wifi chip in the iPhone 4 and a older Revision of an Airport device. But I don't know how to check - is there a system.log on the iPhone which I can access somehow?

Hi,
I am trying to Set/Get Volume level of Input device which has only single channel but no master channel, then it fails to retrieve the kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo and intermittently kAudioDevicePropertyVolumeScalar for each channel. But this works well for Output device.
So is there any difference in setting/getting the volume of input channels?
I am pasting the downloadable link to sample.

Thanks in advance.

That works but the the game will not be in full screen, it will have an empty strip at the bottom.
I actually found out what's the problem. I traced the stageWidth and stageHeight during resizing event. I found out that when it first resized, the stage width and height were the size with the notification bar. So when I pass the stage into startling, myStarling = new Starling(Game,stage), the stage is in the wrong size. For some reason, I can only get the correct stage width and height after the third resizing event.
So now I need to restart Starling everytime a resizing event happened. It gives me the right result but I am not sure it is a good idea to do that.
And thanks a lot for your time kglad~I really appriciate your help.

Check to see if there are Updates available... If already up to date...
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

You are right, but how could i send it to Apple? when the phone company first replaced my iphone they had in stock alots of iphones and they just sent mine back to Apple and gave me a new one, so all i did is to give them my phone, but now how could i sent it to Apple? and i cant send it by myself, and the store wont do that, its a lost for them.. so sending it to Apple wasnt an option from the begining.
and for the record, i dont think the store where i bought it is an authorized shop.. its just a store who boughts phone's from Apple in a low price and sells it in much more money..

Have you tried signing out of your iTunes & App Store on your device and then back in again - Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on Apple ID, then on Sign Out. Then sign in again and see if it accepts the password.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, try resetting your device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the reset is complete, the Slide to Unlock screen will display. See if the problem is resolved.
Cheers,

Do you have a lot of apps? Did you use a lot of apps recently? If so, many of them may still be resident in memory even if you aren't currently using them. Double-tap the home key and you should see the app tray with a list of most recently used programs. Press and hold the icons in the tray and remove the ones you don't use often to remove them from memory. Powering off and then back on might also help.
My wife's iPod does that sometimes, and it's usually because we run out of memory due to apps remaining in memory even when not used. The suggestion above is how we normally fix the problems.

Hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing

hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing & registration process its says error on system mainternance. can you please help me out?
thank you.

OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee. You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.
A list of supported carriers can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937
