  1. I wish I knew code better. Is there a dumbed down version? I am keen to try though.
  2. How do you get to that terminal in xcode? Mine just shows "get started with playground" and "create a new xcode project".
    Neither are terminals. I'm I have a greyed out folder that has a bunch of my files I can't get into.
  3. excellent !!! theres a 0 (zero) written in your video thats not supposed to be there, but all in all, the savvy that can do this, will see this *small error. thanks for the video
  4. Thanks a LOT!!
  5. It worked like a magic!!!!!
  6. does this work for videos?
  7. Thank you very much!!!!
  8. I installed xcode, but have no idea how to get to the code entry tool in your video, any help for a noob?
  9. It worked until I replug my hard disk. Everything reverted back the original state without using the command. Help please?
  10. thank you!!
  11. Thank you very much, great solution.
  12. short cut..  if you want to delete them.. make new folder, move good files to that folder then delete the one with greyed out files... DONE!
  13. I had to use "ls -@Oaeln" not "ls -@0eln" as you have. The 2 files became active but I want them deleted, after putting them in the trash they still will not delete. The files revert back to Modified Tuesday, January 24, 1984 at 12:00 AM and turn back to grey. I'm running 10.10.1 Mavericks, do you have any other suggestions ?
