Cool Mac Terminal Tricks

[danielcutler84]

i like your background how did you get it?

[schimmelpilz33]

This command sets the currently selected screen saver as the desktop background. Use command + c or . to stop while in Terminal. Alternatively you can use wallsaver.

/System/Library/Frameworks/Scr­eenSaver.framework/Resources/S­creenSaverEngine.app/Contents/­MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background

[ctrlaltdelete5]

really you need to write somewhere the things u type, people cant see you puny writing or make out ur mumbling..

[ctrlaltdelete5]

This isn't specific to mac though, you can do that on any operating system that has emacs on...

[TheGhostlyTruth]

If you do touch yourself...That bit of the snake comes off.

[everfroster821]

[BenjaminsonAxel]

Thumbs up if you played snake on youtube while watching this video!

[busankid]

save some money and buy a MIC! all the cool tricks are not worth anything if your video is annoyingly soft.

[CodeRunner3]

[RavnBJJ]

how do you remove resent apps?

[WithYouIDisagree]

because steve jobs is cool, unlike bill gates.

[LightShowerss]

why do macs have such random things like tetris and pong hidden somewhere in the system :P

[pikefan23]

you can do the star wars thing in windows too

[lunlun2000]

Recent Apps: defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-others -array-add '{ "tile-data" = { "list-type" = 1; }; "tile-type" = "recents-tile"; }'

killall Dock

how do you turn it off?

[sixpounder94]

on pong the ball went through the wall and made a hole in the wall, and looped going in one wall and coming out the other, deleting the wall and paddles as it passed through them :/

[lovely2626]

Stack Highlighter: defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES

killall Dock

not working for me

[mrfriedfood]

[RojasChiller]

how do you remove it from the dock



[metroidslifesucks]

All right, i got one for you! How do you move your window buttons to the right on a Mac? I've been looking everywhere and found nothing.

[Tharandomgamerz]

@metroidslifesucks why do u want them to be on the right? Even though u would be used to use a pc it shouldn't be that hard to press vindow buttons that are on the left lol.

[DIEGOHAYMESCEJA]

#lol



[terkowski123]

without touching yourself hahahahahaaha god i'm so immature :D

[KrazyBroskie]

[KrazyBroskie]

@adarshk7 took you for ever to respond

[adarshk7]

@KrazyBroskie Haha, well, I saw the video today

[koolkid8141]

@KrazyBroskie I think he sounds like a girl, but he might just have sore throat.

[MrGamerPlaya]

@KrazyBroskie Well.... if you slow it down to 1/4 speed you can sorta imagine...

[TheLeo7777]

[SmartestViking]

This is also a very cool trick that will freeze your mac(try it):

[bammjjj]

[ZacCoyne95]

You should probably zoom in or make your windows larger and speak louder.

[robilav]

Very very nice thanks

[twoguncharley]

more like applegirl lol

[deezknots1]

Sweet. Learned a lot. Maybe you know this already... type "top"and press return/enter to view all running processes on your make. To kill an application type "kill -9" followed by a space and the PID number shown in TOP of the application you want to kill/crash and press return/enter.

[radioactivify]

does quitting finder harm ur mac?

[PearlDrums1234]

this is wicked:)

what is the code to make your mac talk to you?:)

[PearlDrums1234]

@PearlDrums1234 ohhh dw i figured out how to do it :)

[radioactivify]

[PearlDrums1234]

@radioactivify thanks:)

[radioactivify]

@PearlDrums1234 any time

[KnowYourApple]

Does this work on Mac OS X 10.411 Tiger?

[ipodtouchacker]

woohoo i got a highscore! wait that wasn't on my mac...

[SpookyGooky]

I would not say these are terminal tricks. You are just editing a plist file with terminal. You can do the sam thing with Finder and PlistEdit (part of the DevTools).

[GabeAndReagan]

THUMBS UP FOR IF YOU TOUCH YOURSELF YOU WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE HIGHSCORE SCREEN! - 0:37

[nofeetontheground]

why would you ever want to quit finder? what use would it have?

[ruso106]

Where did u get the wallpaper?

[justsomevids444]

paste what?!

[HackTheTouch]

You sound more like AppleGirl1000 than AppleGuy1000. Nice video though.

[djcjam]

I changed my dock to the 2d dock but now when I copy and paste the command to get the 3d dock back, it doesnt work. What should I do?

[mwhitaker84]

Instead of downloading Quicksilver to force quit Finder. Just type this into terminal.

killall Finder

[mwhitaker84]

Instead of downloading Quicksilver to force quit Finder. Just type in the terminal, "killall Finder"

[potatojuice321]

Snake is on every nokia mobile phone

[retrogamer4lfe]

pon was on atria (i suck at spelling)

[FatasMe]

New on Mac. First terminal vid I watched. Love it.

[alleypuppy]

Do Snake and Pong work on Tiger? (10.4.11)

[xmikedanielsx]

You seem very knowledgeable or at least inquisitive to look things up yourself. glad to see such a young person pursuing. You should learn a bit more bash to help you so that you can write some of the stuff yourself. Keep posted to my youtube channel I will be release a bash tutorial soon.

[calling90291]

[ske07ez]

[bobtheimp2]

well actually Terminal is not the equivelant of the command prompt in windows. there are man, MANY, more things you can do in terminal, from editing com's to doing anything related to the network...

[konkerbonker]

[casulino91]

where i can download the background???

[chrizsnipedu]

on terminal hold esc for 2 seconds then press y to display all the commands =]

[GrimReaper1169]

@chrizsnipedu That's not all the commands. There are Unix commands. If anything, those are Java and other X11 commands, not purely Terminal.

[MyTechkid]

terminal is awesome, amazing selection of things to do with it

[elementoxygen]

Nice Video. Like the desktop background, awesome!

[lewiszim]

[HOMExSKILLET]

[AmarilloZorro]

He should check his Mouse.. sounds like .. horrible..

[Boydbme]

haha.

"try to make your snake bigger without touching yourself."

[treeferreefer]

lol, well played sir, well played

[squaltch]

@Boydbme I know i touch myself all the time and i dont get a highscore screen

[xXp0larisXx]

@Boydbme I would thumbs up that... but it has 69 now and I don't want to ruin it.

[bblrsn1234]

COOL! I use this application called verbalize for my computer to talk, I didn't know that terminal can speak!

[Nas939]

"if you do touch yourself like that"

<-- LMFAO

apart from (well including) that, great video.

[MacApple11e]

@Nas939 lol

[JackoSantos]

The stack highlighter doesnt work on snow leopard...

[AppleGuy1000]

Yeah, I have noticed that. However if you hold and click on the app in a stack, it will work.

[joey256yay]

same with me. i upgraded from tiger to snow leopard and the highlighter that i want badly does not work

[MacApple10256]

@JackoSantos

it works for only stuff that has a "..." in the middle. And it only puts the graphite on the title

[TheAlexboy1996]

@JackoSantos I did this twice in snow leopard, and it worked. defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilite-stack -boolean yes

[TechBrothersPro]

@JackoSantos yes it does. use this code defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES

killall Dock

[pivmaster2]

@JackoSantos use this codes.

defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilite-stack -boolean YES; killall Dock

defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilite-stack -boolean NO; killall Dock

[b1gnel1]

@JackoSantos ....I JUST BOUGHT A MAC LAST WEEK OPENED IT IT HAS OSX AND I DID GET THE JOB DONE THAT THIS KID IS TALKING ABOUT SO I DONT KNOW WHY YOU SAY IT DOESNT WORK....THERE ARE SO MANY YOUTUBE VIDZ OUT THERE THAT TELL YOU HOW TO DO IT THE SAME WAY ON THE SAME MAC OSX......CHECK AGAIN AND DO IT RIGHT BRO

[angryface100]

you can do the talking one just by downloading verbalize

[thoslamantia]

speak louder but great video kid

[TheJazzMan13]

how can i reset the highlight thing ?

[AppleGuy1000]

The code is in the description.

[iTzW3PP3R]

@AppleGuy1000 IT doesnt work to do that :'(

[y35n00b5]

@TheJazzMan13 any time you have a code with YES or TRUE...just put NO or FALSE to reverse it...its vice versa for the code....

[pivmaster2]

@TheJazzMan13 if you have snow leopard use this:

defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilite-stack -boolean NO; killall Dock

if you have leopard use this:

defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean NO; killall Dock

[ComputerGeek396]

Very nice. I love Terminal. :P

[AppleGuy1000]

Thanks, me too! Check out the next video that is almost done processing for anther cool trick in Terminal!

Gagan

[derbosschiller]

which one is the next video?

I love Terminal too! :-)

[sorryorange3]

Why were you whispering? =S

[AppleGuy1000]

I wasn't, my sister was in the other room and I don't like making videos with my family around. :)

[TheEYEofProductions]

I press escape and nothing happens. grr

[chadthman]

Very nice vid but my question is that are those games gems actually hidden in side leopard itself?

Second its Mac OS TEN not "X". To prove my point just have leopard speak "Mac OS X" and you'll see.

[AppleGuy1000]

Thank you. They are kinda of hidden within Leopard, the games are using a GNU shell command which is a type of Linux script and so in a way the codes are.

Yes, I am aware it is Mac OS 10 not "X". I am just as annoyed as you when people say "X", I usually never do! But I guess I did in this video and description!

Thanks for your feedback.

Gagan

[Joethemonkey101]

Aw, I don't like terminal videos.

[AppleGuy1000]

It is all good! This was my last one! :D

[Joethemonkey101]

Ok, lol. You have nice videos, I'm just saying I don't like terminal videos.

[shehryarp]

Sweet

[alexneth1234]

[AppleGuy1000]

Thanks man!
