Terminal problem: Makes a mess of long commands

Recently my Terminal.app has been unable to handle long commands. Basically what happens is that when I write a command after the prompt that spans more than the rest of the line, instead of continuing on the next line it starts over on the same line. This makes a mess of course, and quickly makes the command illegible. When searching through the command history with the up and down arrow keys, things also get very messy.
Is this a known problem? Those I have asked say they experience similar things with their Terminal once in a while, but I'm seeing this all the time in my Terminal. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Delete this file /Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist and see...
You really should be asking Terminal related questions in the Unix forum

  • Long commands in bash terminal overwrites my prompt, instead of new line

    When I'm in Terminal and I type a long command or something, instead of the Terminal continuing the command onto the next line, it starts overwriting my username@host prompt. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does it happen in all user accounts? You may have altered your bash shell profiles in some way. To check this, run the following commands, and then post the results of each here (the results should open in a TextEdit window):
    cat ~/.bash_profile | open -fe
    cat ~/.bashrc | open -fe
    cat /etc/profile | open -fe

  • Why does iTunes make a mess out of my TV Shows library?

    I'm not really sure where to post this, as it doesn't seem like Apple pays much attention to the official Apple Support Forums, but I'll give it a go nontheless.
    The thing is, as most Apple TV owners I have to rely on iTunes for handling my media library in order to get it working towards my Apple TV (currently an Apple TV 3rd Generation, Rev A) which is perfectly fine. I find iTunes to be very well organised and owning several OS X systems, only using iOS devices and everything my music library already consists of only ALAC (Apple Lossless) music tracks and I like to keep all my audio books in M4B (AAC) simply because it’s much better organized this way. As long as all the metadata is done right one can’t really complain about how iTunes is doing things other than the Windows version being rather slow when you start filling it up with content, the OS X version is vastly superior in terms of performance and overall stability but I guess that is to be expected.
    I have absolutely no problems with my ALAC (Apple Lossless) music library, no matter how many tracks I add they are all there, with the correct metadata and everything. Same goes for my audio book library, the only ones being somewhat troublesome are those I’ve got in MP3 format instead of M4B (AAC) as they get automatically listed as music instead of audio books, but that’s fixed within a matter of seconds just marking them as audio book in iTunes metadata. My movie library, which used to consists of loads of self-ripped Blu-Rays encoded to MKV’s with either Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1 is now repacked into M4V / MP4 containing Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) and with the help of metadata downloaded from IMDB they are all listed correctly with the correct metadata, so all is good and dandy.
    But when it comes to TV-Shows things starts to get messy. We are still talking about only M4V / MP4 files containing mostly Dolby Digital 5.1 (AC-3) audio tracks, and a few containing 2.0 AAC audio tracks. The problem is iTunes is making a complete mess out of things, no matter what I do.
    Some TV-shows are added and shown correctly in my iTunes library, others are just not working out at all! Take my six seasons of LOST for instance.
    I tried to redo the metadata on the first six episodes of season 06, but they just won’t show no matter what I do. The weirdest thing with these episodes is that when I manually play the M4V files using iTunes, iTunes recognise them as LOST Season 02 episodes and not Season 03 episodes. So LOST Season 03 - Episode 01 which is "01. A Tale of Two Cities" is shown as LOST Season 02 - Episode 10 which is "10. The 23rd Psalm". That's quite odd, which was the reason why I went ahead and rework the metadata of these episodes just to be sure.
    But still it won’t show in the iTunes library and when manually opening the M4V files with iTunes it still shown as being "10. The 23rd Psalm" instead of "01. A Tale of Two Cities". If I open the file with QuickTime Player, Windows Media Player or Media Player Classic Home Cinema they all list it as "01. A Tale of Two Cities" and not "10. The 23rd Psalm" as iTunes does. Watching the playback is making quite clear it's indeed playing back A Tale of Two Cities and not The 23rd Pslam episodes, even in iTunes.
    I have no clues why iTunes is making a mess out of the first six episodes of LOST Season 03, it really doesn't make much sense as there is nothing with the M4V files, their contains or their metadata that points towards iTunes recognising it as a LOST Season 2 episode at all.
    Just to confirm the metadata in iTunes I tried to remove the whole LOST series from my library and went ahead and added ONLY the first six episodes of Season 03 and nothing else. Then they are showing correctly, with the correct metadata for each and every episode.
    But upon adding the rest of the bunch they disappear and suddenly iTunes starts mixing the first six episodes of Season 03 as Season 02 episodes...
    As soon as I add any episode of LOST Season 02, 10-15 they seem to replace LOST Season 03, 1-6. So Season 03 is working perfectly, having all the right metadata and everything but as soon as I add LOST Season 02, Episode 10, LOST Season 03, Episode 01 starts playing as LOST Season 02, Episode 10 and then disappears from the library. Upon adding and playing back LOST Season 02, Episode 11 it replaces LOST Season 03, Episode 02 which then disappears from the library and this goes on for episode 10-15 of Season 02 which for some reason replaces episode 01-06 of Season 03.
    This isn’t isolated to only LOST, same goes for a few of my House M.D season whereas iTunes is starting make a mess of things mixing metadata of Season 3 with metadata of Season 4 for no obvious reason. This is quite frustrating as this renders my Apple TV quite useless when iTunes is not capable of handling my media library correctly.
    Several episodes are missing in quite a few of my various TV Shows as well, some requires me to manually open the M4V / MP4 while browsing my library for it to get listed as it’s not being added while adding the folder to my library.
    This has been going on ever since iTunes 10.X, and it’s behaving like this on all my system it being Windows 7, Windows 8, OS X Mountain Lion or OS X Mavericks. Surely something has to be done in order to solve this? There is nothing wrong with my M4V / MP4 files as I’ve re-ripped them, re-encoded them, re-done their metadata and everything without any luck and consider it only happens with various TV shows and not with my music, audio book nor my movie library I see nothing pointing at it being a problem with my content but rather iTunes making it all fuzzy for no apparent reason.

    Seems like I actually figured out what was going on.. When I re-do my MKV's into MP4 / M4V's applications like Subler, MKVtoMP4 and other toolkits are grabbing metadata from servers like IMDB.
    Upon retrieving metadata they also grab something called "XID" which is supposedly Apple's very own iTunes specific ID or serial if you like for each specific TV show available through the iTunes Store. This seems to be causing the problems with missing episodes and episodes starting to playback as a different episode from another season.
    I always wondered why House Season 04 - Episode 01 - "Alone" always got played back as House Season 03 - Episode 11 - "Words of Deeds". It was always the exact same mix-up each and every time. iTunes never seems to mix-up anything other than the same specific episodes each and every time, and all the missing episodes are always the same ones, from the same TV show, from the very same season. I always found that a bit strange as I would expect library mix-ups from iTunes to be somewhat random and not consistent like this.
    So I tried to simply tried something completely random, renaming House Season 04 - Episode 01 - "Alone" into "RARW Season 11 - Episode 42 - "Come at me bro"" and House Season 03 - Episode 11 - "Words of Deeds" into "TESTING Season 04 - Episode 05 - "Testing this"" and it will still do the same, now my randomly generated metadata of "RARW Season 11 - Episode 42 - "Come at me bro"" was played back as "TESTING Season 04 - Episode 05 - "Testing this"". So it clearly had nothing to do with whatever metadata I added to the video within iTunes, it would continuously mix-up the very same episode no matter what.
    So then I grab my toolkit to see what kind of information was garter from IMDB's database to see if I could spot anything weird going on? I didn't really see anything, but I noticed the XID with it's "Apple:vendor_id:2003-tt0367279" input, so even though these two episodes had different XIDs I tried to simply input my very own like "House Season 03" and "House Season 04" and then all of sudden everything worked out perfectly.
    I'm not entirely sure whos to blame here. As the XID was indeed different I see no reason why iTunes should confuse one for the other in the first place, perhaps there is something fuzzy with the iTunes database or something. I don't really care though, I see no value in having the "correct" XID as long as my iTunes library is showing and playing back everything correctly so now I have just went ahead and re-done ALL my XID's of every TV Show to have their very own for each season just to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.

  • HT1947 "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played using the iOS remote app.

    Tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played through the Apple TV using the iOS remote app.  The whole thing seem uber-anti-intuitive.  I am a long time user (as much and anyone is long time for any of this stuff) of the iOS remote app, and ATV to play music though a stereo system.  Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could sit in my chair, start the iPhone remote app, pick a playlist and either start from the beginning, or if the first track didn't grab me at that moment, go ahead and switch to, say, track 6 -- the whole playlist would "sit there" and be available for further browsing.  With the new system, if I hit a playlist the songs will go into "Up Next".  If as I described in the last sentence, the first song is not getting it for me, and I switch to track 6 , the "Up Next" list is lopped off and only tracks 7 onward will be shown.  I can't go back and browse the first 5 tracks (6 actually) -- they're vaporized.  The idea of browsing your own music has been killed; I guess this "Up Next" concept is for folks who like maybe a couple of dozen songs that are picked from different places and want to play them in different orders of something -- it just seems like a crummy idea.  If under the scenario I described I want to go back and play that first (or second through fifth) song on the original playlist, I have to go out and fish it out of the library somehow and just keep messing around and around.  There have been times when I didn't know what the heck was going to come out of the speakers.  It seems like the remote user has not been considered in the "dramatically improved" iTunes 11", with the "cleaner user interface" .  To me it is "dramatically akin to dog-doo", which, of course is not cleaner than much of anything.  If I can't get this working decently, then I'm really thinking of investigating some other type of system like DLNA.  Any suggestions?

    Same problem here.  I have so many problems with this remote app.  Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

  • Weird Terminal problem with AIX

    Hi,
    I have kind of an odd problem with the Terminal.app that I hope someone can assist me in figuring out.
    I'm connecting to an AIX 5.3 server and the top portion of the window is always "cut off". It's there, it's just one screen up in the buffer and I can't figure out why. I can connect with iTerm and things display appropriately.
    Below is a link to a side by side picture of Terminal.app (left) and iTerm (right). If I scroll up in the Terminal.app buffer, I can see the missing lines from the top of the screen.
    http://picasaweb.google.com/andy.black10/Misc#5407855064094337554
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Minor point: would you please fill in your Forum profile information, at least the Mac OS X operating system version.
    I'm currently using Leopard and I can reproduce this problem in Terminal vs iTerm. I used your script output (thank you) in order to generate the escape sequences.
    BY THE WAY, if the script output contains any sensitive login info, you might want to change your password on the Pharamcy OSU system
    It looks like there is a Terminal problem handling Scrolling Regions as set by <esc>[1;24r. It looks like <esc>[0J is not erasing from the current cursor position to the end of the display, but rather it starts the erase above the current cursor position. The erase behavior without a scrolling region appears better, but not perfect.
    I would encourage you to file a bug with Apple at either:
    <http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html>
    or
    <http://bugreporter.apple.com>
    Free ADC (Apple Developer Connection) account needed for BugReporter
    The BugReporter would be better.
    If you want, I have a little script that can be used to demonstrate the problem
    #!/usr/bin/env bash
    echo -e "e[1;24re[He[0Je[He[0Je[?6he[1;24re[He[0Jc"
    for j in {1..3}
    do
    echo BEFORE should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
    done
    for j in {4..23}
    do
    echo FILLER should be erased $j $j $j $j $j
    done
    echo -e "e[4;24re[He[0Jc"
    for j in {4..23} # our next command prompt will be 24th line
    do
    echo AFTER should remain on screen $j $j $j $j $j
    done
    Here is example output from Terminal:
    BEFORE should remain on screen 1 1 1 1 1
    AFTER should remain on screen 4 4 4 4 4
    AFTER should remain on screen 5 5 5 5 5

  • How to make a custom ringtone longer?

    i downloaded a standard ringtone a while ago. but the problem is, is that it is too short. its only 17 seconds. it would be nice if there was a way to make the ringtone 30 sec. is there a program out there for a windows pc?

    The amount of time before a call goes to voice-mail is determined by the carrier, not the length of your ringtone. If you want your phone to ring for 30 sec before going to voice-mail and your in the US, call AT&T and have them set the ring time to 30sec. To make an existing ringtone longer, would require editing in a program like garage band, if your on a mac. On windows, you need an editor like Audacity.
    http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
    When I make ringtones, I set the length to 29 sec., just to be on the safe side.

    You have SCADS of extensions and the things running. McAfee, Intego, Orbicule, CleanMyMac, and others I've not ever even heard of. My first recommendation would be to remove all of these and see if things improve.

  • NFirefox will not allow me to click on a link without switching to another program first. The version is 3.6.8. This problem makes Firefox virtually unusable. Help!

    Firefox will not allow me to click on more than one link in a sequence. After one click, I am forced to switch to another active application before returning to Firefox and clicking on another link. I have seen this problem posted by others, but I can't find an answer by Mozilla. Since this problem makes Firefox virtually unusable (version 3.6.8) I would hope that Mozilla would offer an answer ASAP. Until then, I'm stuck with Explorer.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • Database termination Problem

    Hi every body ..plz help me on this..
    We are facing database termination problem in ECC6 production syste.
    Database: Oracle 10.2, O/S: Windows 2003. Spam  :27, SP level 13.
    Error is:
    Errors in file f:\oracle\p02\saptrace\background\p02_ckpt_6520.trc:
    ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
    ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF'
    ORA-27072: File I/O error
    OSD-04008: WriteFile() failure, unable to write to file
    O/S-Error: (OS 33) The process cannot access the file because another process has locked a portion of the file.
    When we are performing backup then data base termination occuring freequently.
    Give right solution as early as possible.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    Have a look at below snote which actually speaks about the oracle error codes
    Snote :  546006
    within the Snote it says :-
    " If you cannot access a database file (for instance a data file, control file or RedoLog) for whatever reason, an ORA-270xx appears. The actual cause comes from additional error messages (usually in the operating system) that occur on ORA-270xx. "
    And as per your last update
    " ORA-00206: error in writing (block 3, # blocks 1) of control file
    ORA-00202: control file: 'D:\ORACLE\P02\ORIGLOGB\CNTRL\CNTRLP02.DBF' "
    i think there is problem accessing the database control file. Hence you  are facing the above problem.
    I think if you recreate your control file i think, it should resolve the problem.
    Hope it will be helpful to resolve your problem.

    when I send a 2 page email mavericks makes it 65 pages long! what to do?

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

  • Can I make a photo clip longer than 4 seconds?

    I want to leave more time to read the title I have going over a photo clip, so want to lengthen the clip more than 4 seconds. I tried copying and pasting the photo to make it 8 seconds long and the title dragging across the two, but 8 seconds is longer than I want. When I shorten the photo I copied to the entire clip is only 5 or 6 seconds that doesn't work. I'm able to shorten the title length so the text appears for less time, but it seems photos can only be 4 or 8 seconds, is that the case?
    Thanks so much!

    See if this helps:
