Q: Hard Drive Not Showing in Terminal
My Mac Pro started running slow even after clearing cookies and deleting unnecessary data including pics, documents, trash and history. So I recently upgraded to Macbook OSX Maverick (version 10.9.3) and uninstalled Mackeeper and all files associated with it according to the instructions here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efnXbn1nC4E. Then I repaired disk permissions. I also tried to repair ACLs according to the instructions here pondini.org/OSX/Password.html. All was going well until I reached the reset password window. I was instructed to select the volume containing the user account but there was nothing at all in the volume box. Macintosh HD is not showing up there. I can still see it and the files in my finder though. Weird. I do not know what to do. Everytime I try to access the web I get the message "connection was reset." The tab reads "problem loading page." After reading I realize that the home file needs permissions reset but is there a way to get the HD to show up in the terminal so I can reset home folder permissions and ACLs? Is there a Sudo command for this? This is too time consuming for me to keep researching this. I need help please. I just want my laptop functioning again. I am so frustrated. Uggghhh!!!
