Here are a bunch of Mac terminal commands sorted into general categories. I have intentionally omitted long bash scripts and AppleScripts and focussed instead on small useful commands that can be plugged into bigger scripts or used on their own enjoy! Terminal & Shell Basics cmd+n – Open a new Shell in a new window cmd+t – Open a new Shell in a new tab of the current window control+d – Logout the Shell in the current tab / window cmd+d – Split pane.

Many of Mac Users had reported a problem that whenever they tried to open Outlook 2016 for Mac, the Outlook keeps prompting for a password again and again.

This is not a new shell, just a way of displaying the current Shell. System Restart Mac OS X: sudo shutdown -r now Shutdown Mac OS X: sudo shutdown now Power Management / Energy Saving Get overview of current Power Management Settings: pmset -g Put display to sleep after 15 minutes of inactivity: sudo pmset displaysleep 15 Put Computer to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity: sudo pmset sleep 30 Also see my post about OS X Look and Feel If you don’t like the way Mountain Lion now makes the User ‘Library’ folder invisible, you can disable this. Chflags nohidden ~/Library you don’t need to relaunch the Finder. You need to run command in A in the terminal on your mac, and select and copy the line of text it returns. This is a username/password combo, which you paste into a new file named ‘.htpasswd’ in the folder you want to protect. The contents of B are not typed in the terminal, they are pasted into another text file named ‘.htaccess’ – make sure you update the ‘AuthUserFile’ line to reflect the actual location of the.htpasswd file you created above.

Spotify for mac 10.7.5. Usually its something like /home/example.com/public_html/.htpasswd. Note that this is a command for protecting folders on apache web servers, not on your Mac.

I suspect you might actually be after a tip to do the latter? If so, just select the folder you want to control in the finder, hit cmd I, and then under ‘Sharing & Permissions’ make sure your own login has ‘Read and Write’ access then set everyone else to ‘No Access.’ You can also protect a folder by making an encrypted disk image, which seems to work well. Instructions here. Hmm, that’s an interesting one. I’d suggest trying to attempt recovery of Cache.db. Instructions are here: the specific file you want to recover is this: /Users/[yourNameHere]/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db and then parsing Cache.db somehow.

There are some suggestions here: If the cache isn’t there you can try: cd.Trash followed by a simple ls. That would show recently trashed & emptied items. There are also commercial tools for this stuff. And Computer Security experts, for a price!
