boot in normal mode

geordiejohn · 05-21-2012, 07:11 AM

i have tried every thing and still cannot get on the internet,i think it is because i keep booting into safe mode,i had put in a sudo command to boot to safe mode and then i re-installed snow leopard but it still boots into safe mode,there is no airport showing on the top where it normally is but i can see it in utilities,but when i do a scan it does not find any thing,i have tried setting up the network manually but i still cannot get it to work,i just tried the sudo command sudo nvram boot -args = " "
but i got the error nvram:error (-1) getting variable - 'boot'
any ideas please?
thank you.

First , there should be no space between boot and -args. And you don't need the other spaces around the equals sign, either.

Code:

sudo nvram boot-args=" "

If that doesn't work, you could try resetting the PRAM:

As for your network problem, can you clarify this?
In System Preferences > Network, is Airport On? Can you see networks to connect to?
What do you mean by "I can see it in Utilities"?

You are showing extra spaces, which is likely the problem.
sudo nvram boot-args=""

No spaces in the boot command
Or, you can copy and paste that complete command in the terminal, so you don't have to worry about typing mistakes.
