Terminal use and what it does, can I sort?

I just opened terminal for the first time and was adding this command
sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN/CiscoVPN restart
then I managed to duplicate the sentence and a warning came next with options to put in my password or a Ctr abort. command, neither of which I managed to do as the page froze, I then proceeded to close it, again I got a warning asking me did I want to do this. I did as I did not give it my password I thought it would just revert back to how it was, but when I open terminal now the text that was at the top of the page is no longer there, it was something about log in.
i am now worried I have done something really bad, can anybody help me please?

You need to reboot to get your shell back.
It doesn't sound like you did any lasting damage, but you easily could have. Keep out of the shell unless you know what you're doing. Running "sudo" commands is not the right way to learn.
The Cisco VPN client is garbage. Uninstall it and use the built-in Cisco client instead.

  • What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can use, and what file formats can be used?

    What is the largest MMC and SD card that the Acer C710 can read from and write to when inserted into the built-in 2-in-1 card reader? What file formats can be used with aforementioned MMC and SD cards?i.e. FAT, FAT 32, exFAT, etc.

    Thank you for you help. I forgot to mention what is the highest class of SD card it can use at top speed, and are there any classes that will simply not work? An example answer would be, the highest speed that it can operate at clase 6, with class 8 being the highest class compatible; class 10 will not work. Also note, there are new cards faster than class 10. I have seen symbols like U1 and U3. I don't expect a discount computer to run an SD card faster than class 10, but it is important to know if U1 and U3 at least work.

  • HT1339 my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    my older iPod my husband wants to use and his netbook does not have cd drive. How do I down load iPod and iTunes info for this product so he can now use it?

    Your question(s) is/are a little hard to understand.  So your husband has an iPod as well as a netbook and he wants to be able to sync iPod with this netbook is that correct?  If so, he'll need to first download and install iTunes assuming the netbook is running some version of Windows such as 7, Vista, or XP.
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    As for importing or ripping music, he'll have to either use an external CD/DVD drive that is attached via USB or rip the songs to another PC you have with a built in CD/DVD drive.  Once you have imported them to the other computer, you can transfer the songs to an external hard drive or to his iTunes library via Home Sharing.
    If this isn't quite what you were looking for, please clarify.

  • Microphone and what U hear can not be use at the same time at the same time

    I am using Creative SB X-fi Xtreme Gamer (Creative Model Number: SB073A), sound card and have down loaded the latest drivers (version 2.18.15). What U hear is enabled, which in turned makes the microphone unavailable. If you reverse the settings, then what U hear is unavailable.
    It appears that; microphone and "What U Hear" can't be enabled at the same time. If someone has an answer on how to correct the following settings to achieve; using the microphone and what U hear at the same time would be appreciated.

  • What type of generic delta to use and what field?

    Dear BW Gurus,
    I am creating a generic datasource based on a view BSAK and BSIK (Accounts Payable tables). I am not able to determine what type of generic delta (numeric pointer, calender day or timestamp) should i use and what field in the table should it that be based on? All or any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Raj

    CALDAY on field BLDAT (in both tables) seem an obvious candidate.
    Added - You will need help from functional people (or you can try it in ABAP forum) to determine which date field is updated with the system date when these tables are updated with SAP txns (some hint can be had by looking at the data)- the fields of interest would be -
    BUDAT
    BLDAT
    CPUDT
    It is almost certain that CALDAY is the only option you have for delta type, and one of these three fields will have to be chosen.

  • HT3819 So you've told us how to turn it on and what it does.

    So you've told us how to turn it on and what it does. Now HOW does one use it? AND after I turned it on and "authorized" my computer the SHARING button has disappeared. I just bought a new computer and I have literally thousands of songs on my old computer that I paid for that I would like to transfer AND be able to listen to.
    HOW DO I DO THAT???

    Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.
    I would not use home share for this.

    How much does it cost to replace a Macbook Air keyboard? And what components does the replacement include?

    I had two fans replaced in 2012 on my 2006 MacBook Pro were around £10 each with labor at £20. I don't know that these prices are still viable, but it may give you an estimate.

  • Microphone and "What U Hear" can't be enabled at the same time.

    Hi,
    so this is what I am currently doing: I am streaming li've online game play with the help of Flash Media Li've Encoder. It uses the What U Hear option,? without any problems, so far. Sometimes though I would like to coment on whats currently happening (in the game) with "What U Hear" though enabled, my microphone is disabled and I can not do that. Any voip software then ofc. gives me error messages, that my microphone is not available.
    Surely there must be a way to enable the mic and what u hear
    My OS is Win7 x64
    and my soundcard is a creative x-fi xtreme music

    Try unmuting mic in playback section of mixer

  • How safe is iCloud and what exactly does it do?

    I was thinking about adding storage onto my iPhone by using iCloud as my iPhone is only 8GB.
    However, what exactly is iCloud and how safe is it to use? Does Apple save all your info and details for there personal use?
    What does it do? Just a safe storage thing or what, I have no idea!?

    Ignore what it does do and concentrate on the fact that it does not do "add storage onto your iphone".

  • Confirm site use and deletion - How does it work?

    I've been trying to find answers to this topic and read through a number of posts and technet, but I can't seem to get a clear answer on how this process works.  Actually my concern is that I have seen conflicting answers.
    As I read the description, it "sounds" like that if we set a date of 180 days, then the system will send an email to the site owner 180 days after site creation so they can confirm usage.  If they confirm, then the clock starts again and they
    will get another email in 180 days.  If they don't confirm, then we go into the config for multiple emails and eventual deletion.
    Is that how it really works?  I would have thought it would track inactivity someway, but I can't seem to find it that is true.  Does it track inactivity?  If so, how?  By last content update or last visit?

    Run a test in a dev enviroment and you will find that they are wrong, unless it changed for 2013.  I haven't specifically verified it lately, but it definitely didn't work that way in 2007 or 2010.  Also check this sentence from the "Plan for site
    maintenance and management in SharePoint 2013" article on 2013 found here:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262509.aspx#section3
    "This feature works by automatically sending an e-mail message to site owners to see if they consider their site active. "
    Notice that it doesn't say anything about sending it only to "Inactive" site owners.  The way I read this is that it goes to ALL site
    owners.  That's the way it worked in the past and I don't think its been upgraded.

  • What FTP servers can I use and what is the URL of it. Help me! Due on Wed.

    I want to up load my website but I do not know what FTP server to use. I find a FTP server but not know what's the URL.

    You need a webhosting package. With or without a domainname.
    So you have to find one first.
    To find webhosting type the word in the search field of your browser.
    If you have internet access you can check with your ISP too.
    And with a domainname it's very easy to determine the URL : http://www.yourdomainname.com
