Teminal App

This is a weird one... Don't know if anyone else is having the same issue. When I first start OS X up it runs fine. I can open up the Terminal App and copy files from one place to another on the hard drive. But after about 20 minutes, I can no longer open up the Terminal App or copy files. There are a few other things that stop working too, like the Disk Utility will open but it won't run any of the checks. But, I can still browse the web and read/reply emails and such.
I booted to Single user mode and ran a fsck and it seemed to repair a few things, I've disabled all unessential services, www, mysql, etc. I've combed over the system logs with nothing out-of-the-ordinary.
A really would like to avoid a reinstall of OS X
MacBook Pro 15   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

Well, I decided to do a reinstall and using the archive install method. All is good now.

  • Bizarre address book problem

    About 80% of my address book entries have lost their phone numbers. Names remain, but no numbers.
    Unfortunately, I didn't know about this problem until the machine went through a full cycle of of online and offline backups, so all three of my address book backups along with .Mac all have the same catastrophic problem!
    I have used Macs since 1984 and am quite knowledgeable about backup, software, etc. I cannot begin to understand what might have happened.
    Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.

    Try something to see if they are really lost or just temporarily(?) invisible:
    1. Launch Address Book, and export one of the entries, that is missing its phone numbers, to a .vcf card
    2. Launch Terminal.app
    3. In Teminal.app, type cat, but don't hit the return (⏎) key just yet.
    4. Type a spacebar character after "cat", and still don't hit the return (⏎) key just yet.
    5. Drag the newly created .vcf card into Terminal's window; now type ⏎
    6. Are the phone numbers still in there? Hopefully, they are.
    7. Back in Address Book, go to Peferences (⌘,)
    8. You should see several icons across the top of the preferences window: General, Template, vCard, Phone, LDAP, and Sharing. If you don't see these icons, click on the oval-shaped (capsule-shaped) button in upper-right-hand corner of the preferences window -- that should make them become visible if they are not.
    9. Click on the Template icon. If "phone" not shown there, goto the pulldown menu and see if it is a selected field (if purportedly an active field, it will be grayed out in this menu)

  • App store won't open  and itunes store won't accept my apple id.

    MY macbook pro, running Maverick  10.9.5 will not open itunes store (12.0.1.26) software updates or app store or icloud, (which may be the culprit). I can log into this forum  and my ID works on my Imac itunes, so it is not an identity or connection problem. IT is specific to the Macbook. I have spent a couple of days trying to sort this, but  I am not very good at code sort of stuff. I have double checked  all the date time location stuff.  I have tried doing the utility- teminal  stuff.  When I try to login to store it just doesn't open. and Apps and Updates is a grey screen with no response. Icloud just whirligigs out and doesn't open either,  when I try to log on. sort of annoying as I cannot get updates. I had this problem  before and sorted it by getting the serial number added because it was missing from an earlier repair. Please can anyone tell me what is happening,  I can go into my Apple  account and check details and stuff like that I just cannot access through itunes or app store on this computer.

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.

  • How do I localize Flash CS5.5 iOS app to one language

    What method or process do I use to set an iOS app to only one language?
    I recently had an iPad app written in Flash CS5.5 approved at the iTunes app store. I noticed at the iTunes store, it indicates that my app is localized in 14 different languages. I never set this up; it seems that there is a process that automatically adds several default language localizations to the ipa binary when the file is published. I tried the strings panel, used a var to set the localID, went into the SDK for flex and flash builder and deleted the locales (could not find anything similar for Flash itself), but none of this seems to prevent Flash from adding the language defaults. I have found many examples on how to localize my app for several languages, but nothing on how to set it to only one.
    Thanks much, Jon

    Well, I followed the iOS language list in iTunes thread   in this forum and was able to get rid of them all. I have to say that not any single reply in the thread was exactly right. It took a combination of Saumitra Bhave's and spinlight's replies and mass of trial and error to get it all to work. Even the App loader utility came up as obsolete! I have uploaded the updated binary to Apple and am awaiting their approval. The biggest issue is the placement of and actual coding in the entitlements plist; spinlight had the right idea, but, at least in my case, was coded out a bit different. Also, it was not exactly apparent that you had to use the teminal untility to recodesign the app after tearing it apart. Thank the heavens I have a least a basic understanding of how things work on the Mac and was able to puzzle it out. If Apple approves the app and all things look good, I will follow up here with what I did. Of course, if Adobe would kill this bug with a giant can of bug spray, this crazy work around wouldn't be needed...
    Thanks much,  Jon

  • My phone wont let me download apps

    I tried updating apps on my iphone. When I click update all it acts like it's going to download. Then it tells me there's an error. I put in my billing information but it still won't download them. I don't know what to do.

    What is the error?

  • Looking for Daily Calendar At-a-Glance App

    I'd love to find an app that will post an alert to my iPhone each morning listing out my day's calendar events. Anyone know of one? For what it's worth, I have 4 active calendars in Calendar app.

    I don't know of any apps like the one you want; however, there is probably something out there that will do the job. I did want to suggest Google Calendar, which will send you email and SMS reminders about events and things you have put on your calendar. You might already be aware of this, so if you are, just disregard. I just wanted to suggest it in case you weren't aware of it. I use it all the time, and it's very handy. 

  • Use one account for apps and other for itunes match

    Hello everybody
    My question today is quite simple. I use one account for apps and tv shows, but inwant to use a different itunes account for purchasing itunes match. How can I use them both on my devices? Will it be asking for my user-pass each time i play a song? What other thing should i consider?
    Thank you in advance

    I would strongly recommend you not do this.  You will regret it.
    I have played with this issue a lot.  You have to remain signed into match in order for it to show up on your phone. If you sign out to purchase an app or redownload one from your appstore id you use then match will be removed from your phone and when you go into your music app the icloud will not be there.  You then have to go sign back out of the store id you used for your app purchase and then sign back into match and everything will have to go though the download to your device process again.  This really is not what you want to do.
    Sign up to match with the apple id that you know you will use the most or has the most purchased items and use that for all purchases, i.e. books, apps, movies, and music.  You don't want to go though the other process.
    Plus apple will start not letting you sign into match because you signed out and back in, in to short a period of time.
    all store purchases on an iphone are linked to the store id.  if you sign out of your match id on the appstore and sign into another account to purchase an app then itunes match will sign out in the music app.  You can't have two store id's signed into your iphone at the same time.  They are all linked together.

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • Download error in (osx) adobe desktop app (corrupted download link).

    Here is a discription of the problem. Please consider that some of the wording might not be correct, as I do have to translate the error message from German into English.
    Using OSX 10.9.2, when clicking inside the adobe desktop app (top of the screen bar) on the tap "apps", the following screen (screenshot) appears, which states, translated from top to bottom:
    download error
    download error. Please contact support.
    (link) contact support
    (link/button) download creative cloud -> This button unfortunatly leads to the following error page "http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html"
    All apps, like Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. are installed and work just fine. So no problem here. I seem however unable to redownload the desktop app (in order to reinstall). As stated above the provided link inside the desktop app itself is coruppted and within the (online) web-based download centre (user logged in) I am only adviced to use the desktop app. This is a dead end and I do not know what to make of this error, let alone solving it. Please help!

    I am sorry Romsinha but this doesn't really help.
    I already restarted the desktop app and while I am obviously online and connected the problem (error message) remains the same. Information within the "home" tap is recieved/loaded  (little blue spinning wheel) stating that various apps recently have been updated. Yet the same loading wheel within the "apps" tap results in an error. My best guess is that some internal link within the app is corrupted, leading to a source on a server that can not be reached.
    UPDATE
    I clean uninstalled adobe creative cloud as discribed in the article you provided (using the cleaner tool) and even uninstalled the browser plugin. After downloading and reinstalling creative cloud the problem however remains the same. "Apps" tap still shows the same problem. "Home" tap now displays the following:

  • App-V 5 SP1 Creative Cloud Enterprise Illustrator 213:19 Error

    Hello, I'm currently working on creating an App-V 5 sequence for Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise. Firstly I'm trying to create a sequence for CC Illustrator, however I'm running into what appear to be licensing errors.
    From what I understand in Adobe Create Cloud Enterprise, the licensing restrictions which tie the license to the machine have now been removed so that packages can be created with serial numbers included for deployment and imaging purposes.
    I've created a package for Illustrator using the Creative Cloud Packager and included the serial number and then sequenced this in App-V 5.
    When I deploy this app-v sequence, Illustrator loads but I end up with a 213:19 error. Looking in the amt3.log the full error is

    I've also tried creating a package using a trial licence and then using the adobe_prtk.exe tool to serialize the product at launch with no success.
    I've read the support statemnt at http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/technical-support-boundaries-virtualized-or.html, but would appreciate direction from adobe as to what would be causing the above error.

    Hello, thanks for the reply.
    I have read those articles (multiple times :-)) I've installed the required c++ redistributables on the sequencer and also on the test machines.
    I'm not getting any errors being reported in the App-V eventlogs.
    I initially used the adobe_prtk.exe tool to serialize the app-v application at launch via startprocess in the userconfig file as shown. This runs but it doesn't work around this issue.

    Following that I read that AAMEE 3.1 removed the (http://blogs.adobe.com/oobe/2012/09/aamee-3-1or-why-puffer-fish-is-a-delicacy.html) machine to license issue
    therefore allowing packages to be created using serial numbers and to be included within build images.
    As I'm packaging Creative Cloud (not CS6), I'm assuming this has been carried into the Creative Cloud Packager for Enterprise which now must be used.
    Any other ideas appreciated.

  • App-V 5 Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) Enterprise Licensing Error 213:19

    Hello, I've posted this on Adobe forums but also posting here to see if anyone else has experienced/overcome this issue.
    I'm attempting to create an App-V 5 sequence for Adobe Creative Cloud Enterprise software, but I appear to be getting licensing errors when launching the App-V sequence.
    From what I understand in Adobe Create Cloud Enterprise, the licensing restrictions which tie the license to the machine have now been removed so that the base packages can be created with serial numbers and can be included within build images etc as opposed
    to creating a trial package and then using a serialization file at install/launch time.
    To start with I've created a package using the Adobe Creative Cloud Packager tool (CCP) for just the Illustrator CC application which includes the serial number. I've  then sequenced this package using App-V 5 SP1.
    When I run this app-v sequence on a test machine , Illustrator loads but I end up with a 213:19 error. Looking in the amt3.log the full error is

  • Cannot send email from the Mail App?

    I've had an izymail subscription for 1 year and just renewed it last week. I could never send an email from my Mail App without a window popping up stating "izymail cannot connect to the server" and the sending bar (along the bottom of the screen) just freezes and will not send.
    I've a Hotmail account linked up to izymail. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

    I fixed my problem - I deleted my email account on my iPhone, then tried to setup a new account. I had a few problems setting it up. It wouldn't recognize the incoming or outgoing servers and I lost my email altogether for a few hours. Then I changed every setting possible and finally figured out that I had 2-3 "Other SMTP Servers" as well as my "Primary Server". Once I deleted the Other SMTP Servers, my email worked and i'm able to send emails now!
    I also think changing the "Server Port" number helped solve my problem also, and making sure "Use SSL" was turned off.
