:helpme

man you are completely fucked.... since macs NEVER have any issues not only will no one know what to do... BUT you are the very first mother fucker that ever had an issue so obviously you broke it..... intentionally, out of maliciousness and hate :2 cents:

Hmm, not much on this in the apple KB, but I found this...

You fuckers keep telling us that MACs are so much better and never have problems, yet it seems to be just the opposite.

Mac, not MAC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

But other than that, really useful post. Nice one.

Type in the password.

If you don't know it, it's usually the pw to the first user created.. :winkwink:

Is this a Macintosh, or a Hackintosh? Sadly, it matters.

Take it to the "genius bar"...I am sure they will love to check out all the porn on the hd.

Might be a problem with your Terminal preferences. Try removing (or just renaming) the Terminal preferences file ("~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist") and then restarting the Terminal application.

If you still have a problem, then look at what you have in your shell "dot" files - see "What startup files are read by the shell?". If you can't figure out what the problem is, try removing (or just renaming) those "dot" files.

One final place to look for problems is the "default.term" file under "~/Library/Application Support/Terminal". This is the file that stores the default settings for Terminal windows.

HTH

seems it was a problem with totalfinder which i had installed

Not sure but if you contact Apple they will be able to help you. Apple's support is spectacular and most of the time it's free.

Macs suck

Virus, Too many porn sites. LOL

Make sure you have the "Include pre-release" option enabled for total finder if you're running on mavericks... they're updating it pretty frequently now...

Oh and if you get a password prompt for a pre-release version, just hit enter, there's not actually a password. Not sure why they do it like that but alas.
