Re-setting iTerm on MacOS X

I somehow screw up my iTerm configuration. Now I click the iTerm icon, it shows the menu bar and icon on the dock, but it won't pop up any windows.

So I did:

  • remove it from /Application and reinstall it,
  • remove the ~/Library/Application Support/iTerm,

but that does not solve my problem.

Any other ideas please?


Here's a quote from the iTerm page:

Where does iTerm store its settings?

Since version 0.8.0, all the setting is stored in ~/Library/Preferences/iTerm.plist. In case something goes wrong, you can delete this file and iTerm will generate a new settings file that should always work.

Quit iTerm before you delete the preferences file and when you restart, it should be OK.

None of the other solutions worked for me. This is from the new FAQ page:
