Terminal command to disable "You have forced ****to quit"?

It happens often enough to be a pain. I have gone to Console prefs and selected "Automatically send diagnostic and usage data to Apple"
I still get the dialog box with the choice to Ignore or Report.
Is there a terminal command that would rid me of having to make that choice, as I always choose "Ignore"?

I did change My Settings. Thanks. Something I didn't think of. The force quits are from Mail, Aperture, and Safari. They're not frequent, and a force quit fixes the problem, but I'd like to avoid the dialog.
For example, here is an Aperture freeze from Console:

Is there a terminal command to disable the "Boing' sound ?

Hello, Everyone
I was wondering if any one knows if there is a terminal command that can
be used to disable the "boing" sound that folders and files make (in Tiger)
as they are being moved about the desktop and or into finder windows.
A couple of people have looked in the System preferences,usual areas but
can not locate the file for this "Boing" sound. If any one knows I would love
the answer. TIA for reading this & any help.; )

Mine doesn't make a sound when I do this.
I presume you have unchecked the "Play user interfacesound effects" > in System Preferences> Sound. The other OP wants to disable only the infamous boing. I found both the files you wrote of. Thank you very much !
I just needed to summarize this & then undoing if so desired.
Bill, please what would the command be for undoing this action ?
Launch Terminal and type this: sudo gzip
enter ~~
password prompt,
then this : /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework/Versions/A/Resources/S ounds/SpringForward.aiff
Is this correct ?
Thanks so very, very much for your expertise, patience and sharing it with me.~ Eme

Terminal Command to disable/enable Safari Sound?

Does anyone know of a command (or even a 3rd party utility) which would allow for sound control/mute for Safari only?
I do not like to be disturbed by the sound of animated gifs/popups etc. when I am listening to my iTunes while browsing the internet.
Thank You!

You could hijack Safari's sound with Audio Hijack Pro.

If you are just going to mute the sound, you can use it without buying a license key.

Terminal command to disable airport 10.7

I have a couple labs that need to have Airport turned off. I would like to just push a command through ARD.

Removing a terminal command

I would wish to remove this command
defaults write com.apple.finder NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool true
What would be the terminal command?
Thank you.

Eric,
I guess I just want to make sure in my start up defaults write com.apple.finder NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool false line is not appearing/in use. So, maybe my request to completely have the line gone from the start up.
Thank you.

URGENT - Terminal Command to replace Global Prefs?

Hi folks, I was reading how to repair Entourage with the continuous EXEC_BAD error I'm getting and followed this advice on mac osx .com http://macosx.com/tech-support/mac/entourage-excbadaccess-error/27991.html where it says to :
*6) Type the following command (for all of the following, copy and paste):*
*cd ~/Library/Preferences/*
*7) Type this command:*
*rm .GlobalPreferences.plist*
*8) Type this command:*
*sudo cp /Users/NewUser/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist .*
The problem is when you do this, instead of copying the file, Terminal wants you to choose options I don't understand:
*cp /Users/Temp/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist*
Password:
*usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-pvX] source_file target_file*
*cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-pvX] source_file ... target_directory*
I now have no global prefs for my main acct and am concerned if I shutdown, I'll lose something important... How can I complete the copy of the clean prefs to my user acct now?
TIA!!!!!
Jeff

my guess is you didn't quite follow all the steps in the instructions. did you type the dot at the end of the command line? you have to.
anyway those instructions seem way too excessive. if your global preferences file is corrupt, all you need to do is delete it an log out/in. that file will be recreated with default contents. this will achieve quite the same purpose as the hint in that link.
As you've already deleted it in step 7 just log out/in and see what happens.
I can not promise that any of this will help but it will achieve what this hint is trying to do.

Terminal command to reactivate mail activity wheel

Does anyone know a terminal command that allows you to view once again the activity wheel(s) next to the inbox/accounts, when checking mail? The mail activity indicator window on the bottom left is not really enough, and often shows no activity for few/small emails.
IMHO, it's unfortunate Mail shows you very little about its activity (without having to open the separate activity window).

They were there in Lion (you didn't need to enable them). They've been removed in Mountain Lion.
You're already aware of the two possibilities for monitoring activity on Mail: keeping the Activity window open in the background, or watching the monitor at the bottom of the Mail window. Neither is the same as the wheels, but that's all there is now.

Passing files in automator to a terminal command?

I would like to know if something is possible: I've used automator to sort through a large number of files for specific traits using the 'Filter Finder Items' action. Can I then pass these files, one by one, into a terminal command?
Specifically, I have a bunch of markdown files that I want to run through the markdown command in the terminal.
Thanks for any help,

automator has "run shell script" action. just add that action to the end of your wrokflow with the option to pass input as arguments.

Dear Mozilla, I'm afraid you have repaired something which wasn't broken.

This isn't so much a question as a feedback. I am a HUGE fan of Firefox and reject all other browsers. I downloaded Firefox 4 and tried using it. Very quickly I reverted to the last version of Firefox 3, which is far more user-friendly and right from the beginning, the first views (icons, general layout, management of add-ons and plug-ins etc.) put me right off. I'm all for progress and for getting used to new layouts etc., but frankly what is on offer in version 4 for the simple user is inferior to the old version. Sorry!

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
If you are sticking with Firefox 3.6 it is best to use the latest version, the one you have installed has quite a few known security bugs. You can get the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

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 did you change your user name?
resetpassword wouldn't have done it. If you managed to create a new user, then your data is still in the old account.

Why do I have to force quit firefox? All my plug-ins and add-ons are disabled, and still firefox cannot quit.

Apple Q and Firefox > Quit Firefox do not work. The only thing that works is FORCE QUIT.

If Firefox hangs (stops responding) when you try to clear the cache and cookies and you have already disabled all Extensions and Plugins from the Firefox (Tools) '''Add-ons''' manager, then the problem could be one of the files in your [[Profiles|Firefox profile]]. See [[Firefox hangs]] and try creating a new Places database, by opening the profile folder (via "Help -> [[Using the Troubleshooting Information page|Troubleshooting Information]] -> Show in Finder"), then quitting Firefox, and deleting the file(s) '''places.sqlite''' and '''places.sqlite-journal''' (if it exists).
If that doesn't help:
Try creating a new Firefox profile for testing (this will not remove your existing profile ; you can choose between the two in the Firefox Profile Manager). See [[Managing profiles]] for details. For other ideas, see [[Basic Troubleshooting]].

You have mail, (in Terminal)???

Not a big issue at all this, was just wondering.
I started Terminal today to remove a stuck file and was presented with this;
+Last login: Mon Sep 7 05:21:31 on console+
+You have mail.+
+joe-bloggss-mac-pro:~ joebloggs$+
As it happens I didn't have any mail. Any takers?

If you haven't already done so, type 'mail' into the prompt without the quote marks and read the message. Click here for information on using the command.

NCL and LUM gives: micasa broken and initial NCL login has scripts disabled at every login - so you have to change it manually after every reboot

I just made an interesting discovery.
I cloned an existing VM and moved it to another physical machine. This
machine was initially installed without LUM and as long as LUM was not
configured and only local authentication took place everything (NCL,
Micasa and integrated login) worked as documented.
After configuring LUM authentication, the following does not work:
Micasa (it does only work as long as the machine is up, after a restart
you have to enter passwords for all micasa enabled applications if you
use them for the first time during uptime)
NCL does not save the settings for scripts, they are always disabled by
default after the machine has come up. The settings for scripts do work
for all subsequent logins, just not for the first after booting the
machine.
The same behaviour is shown by another machine, which has LUM
configured for authentication.
Machines do not show this behaviour if using a local only user or if
LUM authentication is removed.

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.
