They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them. Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.

They are not shown in the Terminal window. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.ġ0. If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password.
#SPAMSIEVE COUPON PASSWORD#
If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it: If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line.

The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.ĥ.

If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects.

However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.Ģ.
