What is the font used within Single User Mode (CMD+S)?

Upon holding Command + S, you'll be taken to what's called "Single User Mode", where a black screen with a bunch of white text appears. Does anyone know what the font here in this mode is called?

You will need to replace the "mount -t hfs" with "mount -t msdos", but I don't know if you would need further options.
If you can find a 10.4 system, it may be easier, since "autodiskmount" appears to work again. See: kmosx4: Resetting the System Immutable Flag in OS X 10.4

What are the network issues with single user versus mulit-user version?

I am having trouble attempting to share Pages documents over a network. My documents are created and saved in Pages on Mac 1. The same documents are opened, edited and re-saved on Mac 2.
Upon re-saving any document on Mac 2, (originally created on Mac 1), two error messages will appear. The first message says: "You do not have permissions to save changes in this document".
Once I have fixed the permissions problem, another message appears. The second message is: "Type: Couldn't save image. Description: thumbs/pagethumb1.tiff".
The only way to solve this second problem is to save the document with a different name on the station you are currently working on. It looks like the page previews may not be readable from station to station. Not to mention the network permissions not being transferrable from station to station.
I am wondering if both these problems are related to the fact that I am using a single user version of Pages when I should be using a multi-user version because of the network.
The Mac OS I am using is a Family version for up to 5 users. The Pages (iWork) version is strictly single user.
I am currently using Pages version 2.02.
Mac G4 Dual Mirror and Mac G4 AGP Graphics Mac OS X (10.4.8) both systems have lots of RAM; the G4 AGP has a smaller drive

Forgive my ignorance of UNIX, but will what you are
suggesting create multiple copies of the same file,
leading to confusion?
The way I have set up my system there are copies of all my important files on the other machine, but not multiple copies of each file. Rsync backs-up the changes to existing files or copies new files to the other computer. It can be set to mirror one machine on the other, copy only certain files, not copy certain files, etc.
Currently I am opening the file over the network,
making changes and saving them back to the original
file. When I open up the same file on the sharing
Mac and attempt to do the same, permissions and save
problems occur. If I start out on the sharing Mac,
then open the original file on the networked unit,
the same permissions and save problems occur. No
UNIX commands are used.
I don't know what is causing the problem you are experiencing, but there is way to do what you want. Rsync is one way, there are several other ways to synchronise machines that do not involve you typing out unix commands. Do a search here for synching folders
But at least I am only working with one file. And I
have my wife and oldest daughter using the Macs.
They are even less technically proficient than me.
How can I use the method you suggest without having
multiple copies everywhere? And how will I do this
without scaring my Luddite family?
the system I use (rsync, .sh file, cron) is automatic. The files are backed up automatically every hour from 8 am until 10 pm. If there are no changes, nothing is backed up.
my macbook backs up specified files/folders from folder andrew and folder bev to the identical folders on my wife's mac mini.
the mac mini backs up the same folders to the macbook.
I use the mackbook 99% of the time, my wife uses the mini 99% of the time. this way all her files are availalble on the macbook and mine are available on the mini.
Once setup to your liking this is a transparent and unobtrusive system, but there are alternatives.

Is this a font in the user interface or on web pages?
You can right-click on a web page and select "Inspect Element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
You can check the font used for selected text in the Font tab in the right pane of the Inspector.

What´s the font used to compose the Illustrator screens?

Hi
An user asked me outside the forum but I was not able to answer...this question now is more for curiosity than asking him.
What´s the font family used in the Adobe Products (Illustrator spec...)...I mean what´s the font family used to compose the dialog boxes and menus?
Would be a system font like Arial, Tahoma or so on?
Thank you a lot.
Gustavo.

Gustavo,
Adobe system fonts are 'Bitmap fonts', or 'Pixel fonts'.
These are designed as fixed pixel patterns. Scaling is possible
only by integer factors 2,3 and so on (e.g. for tests).
The doc below tells you how to get them, but I didn't test it.
http://www.pcworld.com/article/52364/windows_tips_make_desktop_text_easy_to_read.html
Verdana is a (scalable) OpenType font, where the contours are
defined by Bézier curves. This font is not used for the menues
(would look terrible, if downscaled for that size).
Best regards --Gernot Hoffmann

What is the font used in the buttons in Titanium skin?

Hi Jennifer. If you download the skin and open it in the skin
editor you'll see the font used next to the "Font" button near the
bottom r/h/ corner. You can also use the button to change the font
if you wish.

Mounting Windows Disk within Single User Mode

A Windows machine I administer kacked and the users didn't back up all their data. Windows won't touch the drive, so I popped it in a 10.3.9 Mac... I can copy a handful of files and folders from the Finder, but some directories won't read -- there may be physical damage to the drive (if the kernel panics are any indication).
When I boot into Single User Mode, I can't get into the disk.... the disk(s) show up under /Volumes, but you can't actually get into them... only a file named .autodiskmounted shows up for each Windows partition. I'm guessing this is a product of the disk being formatted as a NTFS drive (I'm thinking that's probably what Windows XP Home used on this drive).
Can you mount a NTFS or FAT32 disk from Single User Mode? How?
Many thanks!

Everett

Resetting the Admin password in single user mode

Ok, my friend bought an old Imac from someone she went to school with with OS 10.4.2 on it. It works fine except that she can not install any programs because there is an admin password that she does not know. She asked the person she bought it from, he says he doesn't even remember setting a password. Normaly with this issue id just pop in the install disk and reset it from there, except neither of them have the install disk, and my install disk is to current for the machine. Does anyone know how I can reset the admin acount using single user mode commands? I can do it on my Mac Book pro but it doesn't seem to work the same way on 10.4. Please help!
EDIT: It is a Power PC G3 if that helps.

Message was edited by: CartooNxHerO
You do not need to delete "the users home folders". Nor do you need to delete the netinfo database. Here are two proceedures:
Change Password
Mac OS X:
Changing or resetting an account password via GUI:
Resetting a user's password
Resetting the original administrator account password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106156
You do not have a CD/DVD
Changing password from single user mode:
You can also change the administrator's password from single user mode or create a new administrator account.
You need to get into single use mode for steps one and two that are listed below.
This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
Basically, you hold down the command-s key then powering on your machine. The command key has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. On a PC keyboard, it will be the windows key, I think.
1) You can change the password on an account. ( Do you know Unix. You are in a Unix single user console. ) The setup commands you need should be listed on the screen. For Mac OS 10.4.11, the commands are:
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write:
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
# Start up some utility processes that are needed.
sh /etc/rc
# You will probably need to press the return key once the system stops typing.
# To find out the users on the system type, use the list command. The l is a lower case L:
ls /Users
# One of these accounts will be the administrator.
# Pick one of the users which I'll call a-user-name and type it in this command:
passwd a-user-name
# and enter the new user password. You need six characters.
# You will need to enter your password twice. Your typing will not show up on the screen just
# press enter when you complete the typing.
# For cryptic information on these commands try:
man ls
man passwd
The root account isn't enabled by default. I am not sure if changing the password on root will enable it.
2) Get the Mac to set up an additional administrative account. You can then change the password on your old account.
Start with your computer power off. Hold down command-s. Power on your computer.
Type in the following:
The first two commands will depend on your release of Mac OS X. Look at what is typed out in the console to determine the exact format.
# Type the follow two instructions to access the startup disk in read/write. Press return after each command.
/sbin/fsck -fy
/sbin/mount -uw /
cd /var/db
pwd
#List all files. The l is a lower case L.
ls -a
#The move command acts as a rename command in this format.
mv -i .applesetupdone .applesetupdone.old
reboot
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

HT1492 Does anyone knows how to change the keyboard layout in single user mode, please ?

Hello,
The question is in the title.
Thank you.

The only way you might do it is use one of the Unix editors to edit the plist file it gets the settings from once it boots in the GUI mode. 'vi' is present in all Macs, and you might have pico, nano, emacs, or ed depending on what was installed. The keyboard layout while in single user mode itself I think is generic to where the Mac was bought and what keyboard was ordered with it, when it came from the store. Since you posted in the 10.3 or earlier forum, chances are if this has changed, few people would know for certain. If you have a newer Mac, say 2006 or later, you should really post in the correct forum:

How format the hard disk in single-user mode

Hi all, i would like to format the internal hard disk of my macbook pro 13'' through single-user mode. How can I do it, please?

Ok, to do that you need to hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk and second screen in under the Utilities Menu is Disk Utility.
You can then select the hard drive makers name (your "bare metal") and peform the wipe/format of the entire drive or a "partition" on that drive.
In the picture below there is only one partition, the Mac HD. In the picture above there are two partitions which both would show up under the hard drive makers name and both or either partition can be wiped in Disk Utility.
Use the Security Option to Zero your hard drive of all lingering data.
When you Quit Disk utiltiy, your back in the installer and can quit or install OS X.
Note: messing with Disk utility will erase all data on the drive, if there is something you need to recover better stop and ask!
If you don't see your internal boot drive in Disk Utility, the drive is dead.

What is this error message in single user mode?

When in single user mode, I was given this message at the prompt
:/ I have no name! #
If you want to make modifications to files
/sbin/fsck-fy
/sbin/mount-uw
:/ I have no name! #
HOW DO I FIX THIS?

Firefox's Error Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) collects lots of those style rule warnings. Some style rules only work in particular browsers (such as "filter" which is for IE), so Firefox notes that it doesn't recognize them. This information is more for the web developer's benefit than yours, since you can't do much to change the site.
To see serious errors and filter out the style warnings, click the Errors button at the top. Hopefully a lot less clutter.
Anyway, are you asking because something isn't working correctly?

How to restrict the all access ? Single user mode....

Thank you,

Perhaps you are not familiar with the concept of multi-version read consistency.
No one can see that which is not committed and reads can never be blocked.
If you want a system where no one can see things kill their sessions and do a STARTUP RESTRICT.
