Reverting to the Original NSCoreSuite Files

In the following steps, you’ll see how to restore your core suite to its original state to undo the changes you’ve made.

  1. Drag the two core suite work files ( NSCoreSuite.scriptTerminology and NSCoreSuite.scriptSuite) from your Desktop to the Trash.

  2. Open a Terminal session. At the command line, issue the following commands:

    	$ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework/Resources
    	$ sudo cp NSCoreSuite.scriptSuite.orig NSCoreSuite.scriptSuite
    	Password:	
    	$ sudo cp NSCoreSuite.scriptTerminology.orig NSCoreSuite.
    	scriptTerminology
    	Password:
  3. Optionally, you may wish to delete the two files with the .orig extensions. (I prefer to keep them on my system so I know I have original copies for emergencies).

    	$ sudo rm NSCoreSuite.scriptTerminology.orig
    	Password:
    	$ sudo rm NSCoreSuite.scriptSuite.orig
    	Password:
