Terminal stuck at error won't accept any commands.


I was trying to install CLI package from github but I messed up during the process and ended up getting this error. It is persistent and won't go away. Terminal wont accept any commands like mkdir, ls, clear screen. To fix this error I ended up deleting the info.plist file for the terminal ( I am not a very smart person) which somehow bricked terminal and it won't start anymore. I decided to download iTerm, and it still launches with the same old error. What am I supposed to do. Please help me .

iPhone connect usb client to wireless clients


I'm using my iPhone 4 as a hotspot for a few laptops I have at home. Generally I'm only using one and I connect it to the iPhone via USB. But, from time to time I need to share files or perform other network related tasks. So I connect my other laptops via the wireless connection.


When I do this however, I am unable to get the computer that's connected via USB to talk to any of the computers that have connected via authenticated Wireless. And vice verse, none of the authenticated connections can talk to the USB machine.


Is there a way of making the USB connection talk to the wireless connections directly? (Finder is able to see the networked (Windows) machine, but I can't connect to it. (Even though the shared folders are accessible to ANYONE.))

One user can't open anything after Yosemite upgrade


My Mac mini (early 2009) was getting slow, so I decided to do some upgrades. I got 8 GB of ram and a 128 GB SSD from crucial that their wizard verified as being compatible. I downloaded Yosemite from the app store and made a bootable USB drive following Apple's instructions. Then I did a time machine backup to an external drive. Finally I did the RAM and SSD install. I inserted the Yosemite USB drive I made earlier and did a fresh installation. On startup, I migrated files and settings from my time machine backup. I logged in to my primary account and did the software updates from the app store and rebooted. At this point my family started using the computer and is very happy with it. Startup, login, and application loads are very fast. There's no more freezes or beachballs.


However, one of the four user accounts is problematic. It takes several minutes to login and load the dock/ menu bar, versus seconds for all the other accounts. Clicking on anything in the menus/desktop/dock/dialogs results in a beachball for several minutes. No applications or files will open. Occasionally I'll get a "the application ... could not be opened" error dialog 10-20 minutes after trying to open something from the dock. How do I fix this account?





How to install the 2014 NTP security fix on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard


For 10.6.8 would it work to open the 10.8 NTP update.dmg with pacifist and put in the new versions of the following 6 files?: /usr/bin/sntp

/usr/bin/ntp-keygen

/usr/bin/ntpq

/usr/sbin/ntpdc

/usr/sbin/ntpdate

/usr/sbin/ntpd I am not sure about including the ntptrace file that was in the 10.8 sbin. What does it do? Also what would the appropriate chown command be to get these files properly recognized?





Typing 'paral' into Spotlight suggests 'Pages' instead of 'Parallels Desktop' - how to fix?


If I type any of these in Spotlight (Yosemite): par para parall parallel etc


Parallels Desktop is suggested as the program to launch - which is what I want.


However - if I type 'paral' - what you would think was a good short bet to load the app - it suggests 'Pages.


I endup typing 'paral' a lot as it used to work.


I found nothing on Google.


This makes no sense. How can I fix this?
