Fixing Terminal TTY errors

so i just had the same problem (i realize some time has passed). anyway, without restarting and after quitting a few processes, i got a terminal to open with this message

Usually happens only when your sending your app to the iPhone and not the simulator. Make sure you click Task End and not just end the iPhone app. Seems to have fixed it

actually, the solution is as simple as quitting all cc && gcc processes (in activity monitor).

and that worked for me.

Hypothetically, this is happening to me too once per week. argh.

I can't believe it took me this long to stumble upon your hypothetical thread.

I'll ditto Bryan's comment.

I have to say, this hypothetical experience sounds an awful lot like another hypothetical experience that I've just not been having.

Good thing we have sources like Erica to deal with such highly hypothetical situations as when dealing with the EHSDK.

Great picture, Erica! LOL! Thanks for sharing your "hypothetical" experience.
