Terminal doesn't work

Deleted prefs etc. Just quits. Plus icons in stacks take a while to show up. A lot of programs (3rd party) have issues. I lost a few serial numbers. But Terminal I need badly . . .

HI,
You trashed this file? com.apple.terminal.plist?
Try trashing this one also. com.apple.launchservices.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
As for 3rd party software, check Version Tracker for updates for compatibility with 10.6. A number of 3rd party app developers have not updated their software as yet.

    Hi,
    The problem is here:
    class-map match-all example_IT_HTTPS-HTTP
      2 match virtual-address 22.235.121.6 tcp eq www
    You should change it to 443 instead of WWW which means port 80.
    You will never match this class "example_IT_HTTPS-HTTP".

  • Terminal doesn't login

    Hello,
    I will write in a non-very correct english (I am italian) and I want to offer you my bigger thanks for the attention.
    I would want to use a certain phisyc-simulator that i found on the web (wich format is .exe), and so i've tried to get Wine, a free program that make you able to open .exe on OSX (in my case 10.5.8). Following the instruction for Wine's installation, I had to run a certain ./file but the wine installation wrote to me (in the terminal window) that this operation (the installation) can't be completed with the root user, but have to follow the same instruction with a secondary user.
    So, i've tried by first to do the same installation's step in the Guest user (the one in wich you can't save changes by logging out) but the terminal stayed empty for several minutes. I thought that the problem could be the use of the Guest user, so i've come back to the administrator one and i've created a secondary user (with no administrator "power") , but the terminal doesn't work neither here.
    Now, the terminal is still not working even with the ADMINISTRATOR user.
    Can someone help me?
    p.s.: i've some experiences with the terminal, by the need of compile and execute in fortran; it's not new;
            i've already searched online a way to solve this problem (for example i tried to see the Console's messages, and i tried to remove the file                             com.app.Terminal.preferences (or something like that) while logged white the secondary user (but not the Guest one))

    Thank you BobHarris you are very nice.
              -I've tried to delete the come.apple.Terminal.plist in the admin. account   -----> doesn't work  [does it exists in each accounts or is it just one for all?]
              -iTerm2 doesn't work
              -Installing Onyx and browsing to find the hidden files you told me ( .profile , .bash_login   etc...etc..) THE FINDER GAVE UP WORK!!!
    Even by cmd+rightclick on finder icon to click on re-open (traslated by italian "riapri") i had the error message 101800 or something like that.
    I solved the problem by switching off the Mac with the button... Once turned-on again the Mac ( it was a moment full of pain ), all worked fine.
    After had verified that the computer didn't had big problems after the trouble with the finder, i continued to search the hidden files.
    They don't exist in my Mac but LUCKILY i had the impression that execute the login file in   /usr/bin     could be the solution: it worked!!!!!!!
    I had this idea because of that the problem was just the login at the terminal....  A terminal window opened quickly and asked me with wich account I wanted to login... LUCKILY i wrote the good account_name and password and all gone fine!!! (the terminal works again)
    So,
    thanks to seventy one for the link http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ (i think install Wine will not be a problem now)
    thanks to BobHarris too

  • CISCO VPN CLIENT RUNNING KERNEL 64 MODE (DOESN'T WORK!?)

    Hi,
    I switched my Mac to Kernel 64 and some days after, trying to run my Cisco VPN Client (vpnclient-darwin-4.9.01.0180-universal-k9), give me back the classic "*ERROR 51: Unable to communicate with the VPN subsystem*"
    I'm not sure that the kernel 64 is the cause, but I believe it.
    I've just tried the reinstall (also all fix and work around findable on the web and forums), but nothing to do.
    The "+sudo SystemStarter restart CiscoVPN+" by terminal doesn't work, and it give back this message:
    "+(kernel) Kext com.cisco.nke.ipsec not found for unload request.+
    +Failed to unload com.cisco.nke.ipsec - (libkern/kext) not found.+
    +Starting Cisco Systems VPN Driver+
    +/System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) requested architecture/executable not found; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8).+"
    Someone has the same problem?
    (p.s.: sorry for my GOOD English...)

    Do you really need to run a 64 bit kernel? One of the reasons Apple boots into a 32 bit kernel is because not all 3rd party drivers are 64 bit capable.
    Unless you have a 64 bit only driver that you must run, or you have something like 32GB or more of RAM, the 32 bit Mac OS X kernel will work just as well as the 64 bit kernel. Both kernels will equally run 64 bit applications, so there is no downside to a 32 bit kernel for most users.
    There are some other posts in this forum where someone ran Mac benchmarks with a 32 bit and 64 bit kernel, and the results were essentially identical. The best performance improvement came from having a 64 bit application, but having a 64 bit kernel didn't affect performance at all.
    I too have to use the Cisco VPN Client, and as I do not see any advantage to running a 64 bit kernel, I will be happy running the 32 bit kernel starting Thursday, when my 27" iMac arrives

  • Terminal does not work

    In Snow Leopard, my Terminal doesn't work. What I mean by that is when I open Terminal, there is a non-responsive cursor. I can type things in but I get nothing when I hit return. I tried deleting the terminal preferences and I get nothing. I tried my wife's account and get nothing. When I type control-C I just get ^C. Thanks for any ideas you may have.

  • [SOLVED]Something wrong with Locale, "ÅÖÄ" doesn't work in terminal.

    If you have this kind of problem stated above in the title, or similar, here is what I did...
    Make sure you have correct locale, you'll need a UTF-8 one.
    As stated in the install guide(or beginner's guide iirc) do the following:
    Uncomment  one of the locales in "/etc/locale.gen", it doesn't have to be language pacific if you're only after using UTF-8 which provides more characters than normal ASCII.
    then run "locale-gen". Make sure to set your "/etc/locale.conf" to "LANG=en_US-UTF8" of course you can choose whatever locale you want not just "en_US-UTF-8". After that make sure to reboot, it may also work with just log-out and log-in again, but I did not reboot and neither log-out and when back in. If it still doesn't work, run "locale" and "locale-a" if the output is "C" in each column just redo what I stated above, if it still not work, then you have to consult the manual, wiki and if you don't find the problem use a search-engine and if you still don't find answer here on the forums, the people here is really helpful!

    " Okey I uncommented sv_SE.utf8 in /etc/locale.gen ...
    You're supposed to uncomment "sv_SV.UTF-8 UTF-8", then run locale-gen (with sudo), not "sv_SE.utf8".
    That's what I did.
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … ide#Locale
    ^ Except that you shouldn't use "echo" in this case. That command works well when you're logged in as root, but for sudo, not so much. Check the file with nano and you'll see that nothing changed. For sudo, use tee.
    $ sudo tee /etc/locale.conf <<< "LANG=en_US.UTF-8"
    Note: You don't necessarily need "sv_SV" for those characters to show up. Setting a "sv_SV" locale would make programs show up in Swedish instead of English - unless that's what you want. UTF-8 locales will cover those characters just fine (provided that the font from the terminal actually contains those glyphs, of course).
    So you mean I can have en_US.UTF8 as locale but still write swedish letters? So the problem is with the font or somthing, not the locale?
    If you still have problems, post the output of:
    $ ls -l /etc/profile.d/locale.sh
    $ curl sprunge.us -F sprunge=@/etc/locale.gen
    $ curl sprunge.us -F sprunge=@/etc/locale.conf
    $ locale -a
    $ locale
    Well, I did as the guide told about locale.conf, it doesn't seem to work, even if "locale" outputs correct info now, but I'll try with restarting the X server too, just in case.....

  • After instaling mavericks  terminal, preview, app store, etc,  doesn't work anymore

    after instaling mavericks the terminal, preview, app store, etc,  doesn't work anymore...
    What have to do to solve this problem?

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

  • TS1277 HI. I have followed all the appropriate steps above and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user

    HI.
    I am having trouble authorising my Mac Air to my Itunes account. I found a discussion explaining how to go go into 'Terminal', then adding a command. I have followed all those appropriate steps and when I try to enter my 'Password' when asked, my keyboard doesn't work. No key press can be activated at all when trying to enter my password in 'Terminal. And I am in the 'Administrator' user. Can anybody offer any suggestions?? ta

    Does the command that you're trying to enter in Terminal begin with the word 'sudo'?
    If so, your keyboard is working fine. When you type your password after a sudo command, nothing is echoed to the screen for security reasons (not even the * that are normally registered in other user interfaces). However, the program is registering what you type.
    Just type your password and press 'return' and the command will be executed (so long as you type it correctly; if you don't, you'll get an error message).

  • Terminal Services - drive redirection doesn't work.

    Hi,
    I have got two Terminal servers on Windows 2012 DataCenter(T1 and T2) + AD on Windows 2012 DataCenter.
    My problem is, that on a terminal T2 drive redirection doesn't work(also printers and clipboard).
    I tried the following things:
    - GPO on AD (Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Device and Resource Redirection\Do not allow drive redirection=DISABLE).
    - local GPO on terminal T2 (Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Device and Resource Redirection\Do not allow drive redirection=DISABLE).
    - FW is disabled on both terminals.
    - Terminal configuration allows to redirect drives and printers.
    - I tried to login with domain account and local account, on both account redirection doesn't work.
    - System Logs seem to be alright.
    - Of course on the client side I mark redirect local drives.
    Both terminals are the same, both are VM(T2 is a clone of T1).
    Please help...

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in windows Server Forum.
    Have you check the firewall rules? Please check that ports/ firewall is not blocking the drive to get redirected. For firewall try to disable the firewall and check. You can use below command on the client.
    netsh firewall set opmode mode=disable
    This will eliminate the firewall altogether; assuming you are using Windows firewall. Otherwise, disable any other firewall / blocking software and see how it reacts without firewall. Additionally, go back into RDP and manually "set" those options
    to allows Disk Drive Mapping and Printer pass-through.
    Hope it helps!
    Thanks.

  • When using irssi in Terminal, backspace doesn't work, forward delete does

    When using irssi (the command line IRC client) in 'screen' over SSH on Terminal.app, backspace (delete) doesn't work. I have to use forward delete (in my case, fn+delete). Is there any way to enable backspace delete?

    I should also add that I saw instructions on how to fix this for OS X Tiger, but Terminal.app in Leopard seems to have changed.
    http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000299.html
    {quote}
    "If you're on a Macbook Pro laptop, and using irssi with screen on a remote machine via ssh...
    If your backspace key is acting as a 'delete'-key in irssi in screen, Hit command+I, in terminal to bring up your window preferences, under the Keyboard settings, tick 'Delete key sends backspace' - that should fix that."
    {quote}
    The problem is that Leopard's Terminal doesn't have a "Delete key sends backspace" option to toggle. Does anyone know where I can find this?

    i am locked out of my account because my password includes "[" and my computer is set to spanish. In spanish that key doesn't work. How do I gejt back into my computer?

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:
    If you forget the password and FileVault is on

  • Su doesn't work anymore but sudo works

    Hi all,
    I normally use my standard user account but when I'm installing with macports I routinely "su" into root to do things.
    Today I went on my machine and noticed that "su" wouldn't work. Before anyone decides to tell me that I don't need to use "su", I realize that but I use it for my own purposes.
    From the system log I am seeing this each time "su" fails:
    su[1376]: pam_authenticate: Permission denied
    What is interesting is that doing a "sudo su" works, and I'm able to do all of my admin duties that way.
    I have a feeling something messed up my bash profile but not totally sure. Has anyone else run into this issue?

    Hi all,
    Thanks for the help on this issue.
    I'll clarify: I'm using this install as a server and this is why I have 2 admin accounts on it. The original account is my own; the one I created when I first installed OS X. I then enabled System Admin (root) so that is the other admin account. After installing MacPorts I have been running the system as a multi-user webserver. I occasionally log in as root to do maintenance and upgrades. I have found that it's easier to use the SysAdmin account in certain situations because of permissions issues and ease of installing upgrades.
    I'll often log in under my username and then su to root. Recently (yesterday) I noticed that "su" didn't work anymore when I used my normal username.
    There are sometimes that I will log onto the machine as System Admin and usually via the terminal (console) I can log in as any of the other accounts by doing
    su <username>
    this also doesn't work anymore. I get the error:
    shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: Permission denied
    I have two servers set up this way. One works the way it should, the other one has this problem. The only difference I can see is in roots bash profile but I'm not sure why they are different on each machine.
    Also when logged in as System Admin, I should be able to turn off "allow user to administer computer" on my regular account but it's grayed out. On the other similarly configured machine, under the same conditions, I can. I'm not sure why I can do it on one and not the other.
    I've tried turning off enable root via Directory Utility but that didn't fix the issue.

  • Help - Font Book and font Library doesn't work

    I've just updated to a new iMac on Yosemite, and Font Book doesn't work. Neither does putting fonts into the "Library"
    There is a range of fonts that ARE working that are already in either place, but some (that worked up until two days ago in my old Mac running OS 10.6.8) just won't work.
    If I select the fonts in Font Book, Font Book doesn't load them. If I put them in the Library, they don't appear for use in any application.
    As a designer, updating fonts is essential, and if this can't be fixed I'm in serious trouble! So any advice welcome!

    We see posts like this here all the time. A person upgrades to a new OS, and Font Book suddenly stops working. Usually, the problem is that Font Book's database has been trashed by the upgrade with the very common symptoms you're seeing. You suddenly can't add fonts, and fonts Font Book says are open don't appear in some, or any apps.
    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point. Yosemite is a bit different. Whether it's a Safe Mode boot or a normal one, you get the same progress bar. It just takes longer to get to the desktop in Safe Mode. So hold the Shift key until you get to the desktop.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
    If that alone doesn't do it (it should), then clear out all of the font cache data.
    Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current logged in user account. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

    Are you running Snow Leopard or Lion?  Your info says Snow Leopard.  If it's lion then:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    Then you can locate the folders mentioned.
