taylert123 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I have had some problems after updating to 10.5.5 and I found out what I need to do is this: rm -r /Volumes/Mac HD/System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext but terminal won't continue and always shows the error message: /Volumes/Mac: doesn't exist (or something similar). I'm doing this from my install disc (kalyway 10.5.2) and I've come to the conclusion (after trying to access another partition on an external hard drive) that the problem is because my volume "Mac HD" has the space in it. How can I fix this? I can't boot into the OS (it has kernel panic) so I can only do it through terminal or disk utility, and I thought Disk utility would work but the only way to change the name in disk utility is to erase the partition. what should I do?

You can also use quotes for spacing in your path. rm -Rf ~/Desktop/"Folder with Spaces"/File.txt As apposed to: rm -Rf ~/Desktop/Folder\ with\ Spaces/File.txt Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/153973-terminal-shortcoming-is-causing-problems/#findComment-1086335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
