Why can't I type in my MacBook terminal?
Asked by

I'm having a problem with my MacBook 3 where I can't type anything in the terminal. It just gets stuck on the login screen and says 'process complete.' I've searched everywhere for a solution and can't find anyone experiencing the same issue. Can anyone help me figure this out?

Could you provide a bit more detail about your issue? Being stuck at login isn't the same as not being able to type into the terminal. Can you clarify a bit?

Check your Terminal settings. Go to the Terminal menu, then Settings, and look under the Profiles tab. Make sure the default profile is selected. Then, switch to the Shell tab - see if there's a 'Run command' configured. If there is, try deleting it. If that doesn’t work, maybe give iTerm2 a try instead.

When you open the terminal, try going to the top menu, select 'Shell', and then hit 'New Command.' That might help reset things for you.
SunnyDay78: I tried that but the same issue just popped back up.
