OK,

I am typing "terminal" in spotlight, but it is not finding anything... Any other ideas as to how I can find my terminal.app?
 
Eddie,

You're a lifesaver! Thanks a lot! Why wouldnt spotlight find this?

It finds it for me too. Though I just put terminal on my dock, so it's right there.

I think you'll find the tabbing in this new version (just hit :apple:-T in a terminal window) very helpful too. :)

Can't find it either

Terminal is located in my Applications/Utilities folder (where it should be) but my spotlight doesn't find it. I tried searching for other apps in the same folder, and they are found fine. My spotlight found terminal a few days ago. not sure why not anymore.
 
I can't find my terminal, and when i go to Apps>Utilities, the only thing in my utilities folder is: Bluetooth Firmware Update, and Java Preferences. That's it. anyone know what the **** is wrong with my computer?
 
Flash Solution for Snow Leopard

Hi, does the tutorial surfinsd posted require different commands for Snow Leopard? I've tried your solution in Terminal, but I'm getting responses that there is no such file or directory on my computer. Either that or I'm doing it incorrectly, which is of course possible.

Thanks surfinsd for the post.
