What is TERMINAL and BASH ? and why this shows in my Dock ?

"What is Terminal and Bash?"
Terminal is an application allowing access to the Mac's UNIX-based sub-system. If you like another operating system ticking away beneath OS X's shiny GUI. BASH (Bourne Again Shell) is one of many command line interpreters for that sub-system.
". . . why does this show in my Dock"
Either because you put it there or you launched the application.

  • TS1702 Can anyone help? For no reason, I cannot open any of my apps.  I can open everything else, just not apps.  I have turned the ipad on and off several times, this doesn't work.  Does anyone know what to do and why this has happened?

    Hello, for some strange reason I cannot open any of the apps I have.  I have tried turning the ipad on and off and this doesn't work.  I can open everything else (videos, camera, etc) just no apps.  Can anyone help please?

    If it's the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's all apps including Apple's then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • What is MRP and why it is used?

    hi
    this question was asked in an interview can some one explain in detail for me
    What is MRP and why it is used? If there are 2 Lakhs of items is it feasiable to run MRP since running of MRP for 2 lakhs of item is time consuming, if yes then how it is been done?
    thanx

    Dear Bashir,
    1.MRP is material requirements planning which plans the required quantity of depedent material's along with the required date.
    2.MRP procedure is sub divided into a normal MRP,Master Production Scheduling and Consumption Based Planning.
    3.Cosnumtion BAsed planning is further sub-divided into Time Phased Planning,Reorder Point Planning and Forecast based
    Planning.Reorder point planning can be automatic or Manual.
    4.MRP type is differentiated using the MRP type value assigned in the MRP1 view of the material master.
    5.Some of the MRP types are PD - MRP,M0,M1,M2,M3 - MAster Production Scheduling related,VB - Manual reorder point
    planning,VM-Automatic reorder point planning.
    6.It is possible to take the MRP for the whole plant/for a specific MRP area using the batch MRP job.
    7.MDBT is the T Code for scheduling the MRP job or it can be scheduled for the program RMMRP000 using the T Code SM36
    and the results can be checked using SM37.

  • What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

    What is "Other" and why does it take up so much space?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • Lastfmhelper? What is it and why is it always "not responding"?

    When ever I pull up Activity Monitor lastfmhelper is always red and not responding. Anyone have any idea what it is and why it's misbehaving? I noticed this because my 10.5.2 iMac Core 2 Due will all of the sudden become unresponsive. When I brought up Activity Monitor lastfmhelper was, as I said, red and "Not responding".
    Thanks

    It is not an OS X component so it must be from a third-party software product you've installed. A Google search only turned up a reference to a Windows file. There is a web radio site, Last.fm. You may be using software to access the site or installed software from the site to listen to their internet broadcast. If this rings a bell, then locate the software and uninstall it. It my not be compatible with Leopard.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Most applications create preference files which are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can located them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.
    There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
    AppZapper
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at www.versiontracker.com or www.mackupdate.com.

    You will have to restore and thus erase the iPod. If you stuff is in a backup y can restore from backup. Otherwise it is lost.

  • What is powerd and why is it using so much cpu

    When I check the activity monitor, it is almost pegged out. Because of this other things run slowly. So, what is "powerd" and why is it all of a sudden using so CPU?

    It is something related to power management, but it shouldn't be running away like that.
    Select it in Activity Monitor and then Quit it using the "X in octagon" button. You should only need Quit, but try force quit if needed.
    It will restart, but hopefully it won't start running away. If it does, there is likely something else causing it to do that.

  • What is Other and why is it 22G?

    An iPad had 10G of Other on it. I did a restore and now it has 22G of Other. What is Other and why is it there consuming drive space?
    Thanks.

    "Other" is basically non media content.... The italicized text is the C&P text from an old discussion.
    "Other" includes data such as contact information and photos assigned to contacts, calendar events, Safari bookmarks/cookies/history, notes created with the Notes application, SMS messages, email stored locally or cached, and 3rd party application data created and stored by the application.
    This may be the result of some of your music, video, or photos transferred from your computer being mislabeled during the transfer process. The only way to resolve this is by doing a Restore with iTunes.
    A corrupt sync, a sync that did not finish or was interrupted, corrupt photos or files - things like that can cause "other" to soar sky high. Your 22GB is way out of whack as you know.
    You restored and that made it worse so if if one the suggestions in here helps.

    Hi,
    SAP designed some standard scenmarios to meet most of the clients requirements. But still it won't suit the clients exact business spcifications, so we ned this enhancements.
    it's basically to enhance the Std SAP as per the clients requirements.
    An enhancement includes one or more components (function exits, menu enhancements, screen enhancements). For enhancements, you are recommended to observe the following naming convention.
    We add fields using the Screen exits, desing menu's using menu exits and Function exits to enhance the std functionality of the programs.
    reward if useful
    regards,

    Apps downloaded on one should also appear on the other as long as the app in question runs on both iPads and iPhones.

    What is indexing and why has it slowed my computer and why does it take 122 hours?

    Indexing allows Spotlght to know where everything is on your computer.  It won't take as long as it says, the times it gives are always vastly inflated.

  • I purchased and successfully downloaded Caravan Palace - Caravan Palace and Panic. Both albums skip and cutout during playback. Q: what's happening and why?

    I purchased and successfully downloaded Caravan Palace - Caravan Palace and Panic. Both albums skip and cutout during playback. Q: what's happening and why?

    Sounds like a corrupt download.
    From iPad:
    Delete the albums: swipe you finger across and tap delete
    Make sure you have a good internet connection & re-download: Open iTunes app > More > Purchased
    From computer:
    Delete the albums: Select > right-click > delete
    Go to iTunes Store > Purchased (in Quick Links on the right)

  • How to create a content profile and Why this need

    how to create a content profile and Why this need

    Hi,
    You will need profiles to control the following behavior:
    - Which metadata to be shown in the checkin form and search form
    - Define default values to certain metadata
    - Make metadata editable, hidden, info only etc
    - Allow the user to see only relevant metadata, for example you could have 50 metadata defined, but all you need for the user to input is 10 for say HR documents, you can show only these 10 metadata for the user to contribute
