Any idea how to fix a malfunctioning dock (I can erase and move icons but once I restart the changes don't take. I created a new user account which works fine though) and malfunctioning system preferences (Allows me to select desktop image but desktop image doesn't change to what I selected)? I own a mac Pro desktop 2008 which had a faulty video card that mac replaced but now I have these issues I mentioned. Im going nuts. I have tried erasing the .plist files and no luck.
everytime i open terminal all it is, is a white screen. it doesnt say last login or and of that start up words. how do i fix it because it doesnt let me use terminal
When you showed the Star Wars thing my mind got blown!!!! I would have watched through the entire thing if I wasn't marathoning through your videos lol.
say -v cellos lalallalalllalalalalalalalalalallalalalalalalalalalalalalalalallalaalalallalalalallalalalalalalallalalalallalallalalallalalalalalalalallalllalalallllalllaalalalalallaall
The killall command is an old unix command that kills applications by name.
The reason it relaunches is because the app is flagged as autospawn. If you killed the terminal, it would just shut down and not come back up. It only comes back because it's the dock.
How do you change to your dock like that? I saw one in your other video on making video introduction with Keynote and iMovie. So yeah, try to reply if you get a chance.
ok for the "killall Dock" command you forgot to mention that the "D" in dock HAS TO BE CAPITAL if not the command will not work but great vid thts the only thing i found wrong with it
@gurkfil If you are talking about his wallpaper and icons, I believe you wanted to say Star Trek nerd. I could be wrong, but I think that those are all things from Star Trek, that he has.
Is there a limit on what I can do with the osascript command? It seems versatile enough but I'm just wondering if there's anything it absolutely cannot do, even if you're logged in as root or using sudo.
You can alway copy and paste different icons under "get info" (just right-click the icon you want to change) A YouTuber named iTalkApple did a good tutorial on it. She's in my Sub list if you want to check it out.
great video! I was actually considering making a terminal video with lots of stuff like commands, tricks, and customizing the window. but i probably won't now ;)
The icons on the dock can get as big as that by default on os x panther

great video, but you forgot some of the coolest things about the say command.
if youre a android user, or you have seen the "droid" commercials, try: say -v "Cellos" "droid"
if you prefer some robots in the sky, try: say -v "Cellos" "transformers"
and the classical: say -v "zarvox" "all youre base are belong to us" enjoy :)
