THANKS Of course that is why it CAN'T WORK. Thanks DELTAMAC

CLOSED- THE COMMAND IS UMASK not UNMASK THANKS TO DELTAMAC ------------------------------------------ Maverick 10.9.3 using terminal. system doesn't recognize unmask command. even does find a man page for it. I tried several ways as seen in my screen capture. I tried using caps even though OSX...

I know that if I want to invoke TERMINAL INSPECTOR I can key CMD+I When I do that I do get the TERMINAL INSPECTOR with TITLE set to "TERMINAL" I don't see a POPUP menu that is supposed to let me set the TERMINAL INSPECTOR to "SHELL", "EMULATION" etc.

How can I automate the execution of each MP 4 file used typically in training videos? I use Quick Time to play the files now, but I have to click on each one, then click on the play arrow. When the file has completed playing, I have to close it manually. The files typically look like this...

I found a backup that did not have the problem of limited apple menu. I ran it before I saw your post. I did not have a chance to try fixing admin account or removing parental control. Thanks for the feedback. In addition to Time Machine I have scheduled full backups using Carbon Copy Cloner...

I used to have many items below the black apple icon at the top left of the screen such as "system preferences", "restart", "shutdown" and many more. Most of these are gone now. Only "about this mac", "force quit", "location", "log out" and "sleep" remain when I pull down menu items beneath the...

Thank you very much. I will rebuild Launch Services. I will use the preview.app to test images to see that they can be used as icons. You have been very helpful. I am closing the thread now.

Thank you DELTA MAC I now understand what was happening. Yes, I should have said it looks like the icon for preview.app. Yes, it sometimes displays other text such as TIFF or PNG as you said. What kind of file should I use so that the system will recognize it as an icon and therefore not...

I have restated my problem in response to the first reply in this thread. Yes, I understand that Using Command C is capturing/copying onto the clipboard and Command V is pasting from the clipboard. When you say "can also use a normal image", what do you mean? Do you mean a JPG or PNG file...

The attached images were not those I used in real use of my OSX system. The images attached to my posting were extracted from screen captures. I had trouble finding and capturing the real image examples. I think I understand your comments. Unfortunately I think I did not explain my problem...

To change an icon, I use "get info" Then I drag the replacement icon over top of the existing icon in the get info screen. Sometimes[rarely] I get the expected behavior: The image I want to use is now the icon associated with the file[such as the ico for an app. That only happens with some...

I could not find a fix searching. I installed a new copy of Mountain Lion 10.8.3 I used Migration Assistant to migrate everything. Everything seems to work except: Cannot Update/change/add to/ KEYCHAIN I CAN read all the entries. There is a "master" LOCK ICON at the top right corner. Each of...

Thanks. Apple does some silly things sometimes. I think this was silly.

My grandson has a Macbook 5,1 2GHZ Core 2 Duo It seems NOT to have a Firewire port. Is that correct? If so I am surprised. I have posted a photo he sent me.

SOLVED THANKS VERY MUCH FOR THE FAST RESPONSE. I removed the plug-in. When I right-clicked there wasn't any choice to download or view. When it left-click it started up the regular save or view feature of OSX. When I checked the box for view it displayed the pdf OK. Any idea why I don't have...
