Terminal command

Hi,
I'm looking for a terminal command to mount a firewire
externe volume on my desktop. The volume is recognized with "info system" and "Disk utylitaries" but he don't want to mount, i can't see his icon.
Thxs for your help
Dom

Welcome to Discussions - have you tried mounting the drive on another computer to make sure it's not faulty? How is the drive configured? Mac OS extended? Have you tried rebooting (without the drive plugged in)?
Please ppost back,
Miriam

  • 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.

    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?

  • 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.

    - 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,

  • 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.
    See do shell script in AppleScript

  • Terminal Command, how to set defaults write, make application(s) use directory path where file last saved?

    Does anyone know whether there's a terminal command to make all applications remember/use the last directory/path where I last saved a file?
    For example, let's say there are (10) ten PDF's on a website, and I want to use Preview.app to open and save each file to the same directory.
    Problem is, after each time I save a file, Preview.app doesn't automatically remember/use the last directory where I saved my file(s).
    Forcing me to navigate back to the same directory after each time I save a file; super-annoying.
    But, for some reason, when saving images from the web, Firefox remembers the last directory where I saved the file (jpeg).
    So I'm hoping there's some way, possibly a terminal command to set/force all applications (including Preview.app) to remember/use the directory/path where file(s) were last-saved.
    Anyone?

    Get the third-party utility Default Folder X 4.4.9.

  • Terminal command to lock and unlock the dock?

    Hello,
    I manage hundreds of iMacs running Yosemite at a school site.  I use parental controls with the lock dock feature turned on.  I would like to periodically unlock the dock to customize it with new icons, but have not found a terminal command that works, or a streamlined process that is time efficient.
    So far I have been individually unlocking the dock in parent controls on each machine, restarting, editing the dock, then re-locking it parental controls, then restarting.  This takes 5-10 minutes per machine). 
    I also tried this command but it didn't work.
    defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true; killall Dock;
    I also tried cloning the parental controls with an exported plist file to all the machines using ARD, which works for all the parental control settings EXCEPT for the lock dock feature.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers,
    Crystal

    Sorry this is probably too late for you, but it may help others seeking this answer, I just had this problem [Mac OS x Yosemite 10.10.2] and found that the following worked for me:
    1. Use Terminal to LOCK the Dock by C&P or typing in:
    defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool true
    Then use your preferred method to Log-Out [e.g. Key Combo ⇧⌘Q or  [Top Left Menu] then select Log Out “name”]
    and then Log-In again.
    2. Use Terminal to UNLOCK the Dock by C&P or typing in:
    defaults write com.apple.dock contents-immutable -bool false
    Then use your preferred method to Log-Out [e.g. Key Combo ⇧⌘Q or  [Top Left Menu] then select Log Out “name”]
    and then Log-In again.
    NB. You will be solely responsible for your actions making changes to the Operating System.

  • [SOLVED] Looking for a terminal command or key binding to exit Openbox

    I've searched the forums and googled, but I haven't been able to find the answer.  I'm sure I've missed it somewhere...
    I start my openbox session with 'startx' from the command line. I would like a terminal command or a key-binding to be able to exit openbox and return to the command line. I just don't like using the menu with my notebooks touchpad.  I just can't seem to figure out what command is used. The menu.xml file lists the command as "Exit", but typing that in a terminal just exits the terminal.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Terminal Commands for Internet Connect VPN?

    I could maybe do this as an applescript but I'm hoping there are terminal commands which I can incorporate into an rsync script...
    I need to open a PPTP VPN connection on a computer (Internet Connect VPN client, 10.4.8) , to connect to VPN services on OS X Server (10.4.8). The configuration works fine but really needs manual intervention at times. I would like to just script the equivalent of hitting the 'connect' button, so this can be run by cron.
    Any ideas or links?
    Ta.
    -david

    I did repair permissions with disk Utility and I used Onyx to delete the various caches, but that didn't work.
    Everything is functioning. The problem isn't on the VPN server side, because I can log into the VPN on my Powerbook and the status shows correctly. There's definitely something going on with my G5.
    This isn't a really huge deal, but it would be nice if the status indicated that I'm connected when I'm connected.

  • Strange terminal command caching while manually running SWUPD.

    I've built dozens of software update servers with little issues. This one has me stumped today.
    I built a software update server to update solely our Tiger machines. Initially, I had sent a command to the clients that hit the wrong IP address. Once I realized the mistake, I overwrote the plist files on them to reflect the correct address.
    Problem is, some of those machines, even tho I have thrown out the plist completely, still seem to be trying to update with the wrong address. I have verified 100 times that the plist is correct. And if I do a softwareupdate -l, it hits the correct address. When I send a softwareupdate -i -a, it gives me this error:
    2010-06-29 13:50:50.606 softwareupdate[728] Loading CatalogURL 10.192.170.11:8088
    2010-06-29 13:50:50.625 softwareupdate[728] loader:didFailWithError:NSError "unsupported URL" Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1002 UserInfo={
    NSErrorFailingURLKey = 10.192.170.11:8088;
    NSErrorFailingURLStringKey = "10.192.170.11:8088";
    NSLocalizedDescription = "unsupported URL";
    Error: unsupported URL
    Software Update Tool
    The IP address it's reflecting is the original bad address. I'm thinking this has to be cached somewhere, but I've tried it via ARD on fresh machines that had never tried to push any of these commands, and I get the same thing.
    I verified that this happens locally in the terminal and via ARD. But if you manually run the software update from the GUI, it goes to the right place and updates fine.

    No, this is a Tiger server, updating Tiger clients. We literally update the plist via command line or ARD, and then run the softwareupdate -i -a command.
    I have deleted all profile softwareupdate plists via root. It worked on one machine, but not the others. What's odd is that even if i run the software update command locally in the terminal, I still get this error, but if I run it from the Apple menu, it hits the right server and works just fine. So the plist is correct. So I'm wondering what's the difference between where the GUI grabs the address from, and where the terminal command gets it.

    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
