Re: [MacBook] How to Reset TERMINAL.app on MacBook Pro
G,
OnyX - This worked, thank you SO MUCH Glenn!!! I am truly so very happy now. My Shift-Command-4 now makes JPGs in 10.7.4, I am so very happy about that.
I really appreciate it. Really, so happy, I make screenshots alot, this totally helps.
Blessings to you.

I tried to Restore my Terminal.app to last weeks settings via Time Macine Restore, but since it is System software it won't restore. So, now what do I do?
