Jens,
a couple of questions to further understand your problem:
1. Have you had textmate and Latex running succesfully before? 2. You did install pdfsync.sty? 3. Where are you saving your document at? What are your paths / env. variables set to in Textmate? 4. How did you install your copy of latex? (i-installer?)
Dan
- Have you had textmate and Latex running succesfully before?
yes, thats the problem. everthing was super.
i tried my first step in textmate and latex. i tried to type
\today
then the compiler told me, something like this, use pdf.
so i copy paste \usepackage{ifpdf} before that (i know that was wrong). then suddenly i had to give my root password and since then nothing runs anymore. i didn't work in the shell or something else.
if i don't use pdfsync, it runs know (after i installed everything new). how i install pdfsync? and why i have to install it now?
- You did install pdfsync.sty?
no, but i installed latex with i-installer
• FreeType 2 • libwmf • Ghostscript 8 • ImageMagick • FontForge • TeX
and textmate. yesterday it was enough to run the exam template.
- Where are you saving your document at? What are your paths / env.
variables set to in Textmate?
i don't know. where i find that? but i didn't change anything in the settings.
i just type
\usepackage{ifpdf} \today
and hit apple b. then i had to save it. and after that came up the root password question and that was it.
- How did you install your copy of latex? (i-installer?)
yes. and i did installed everthing again. the problem is still there.

The root password was triggered by not being able to save. Likely due to lack of permissions.
Did you provide such password? And if so, where was the file saved? I wonder if maybe you overwrote a system file while saving (unlikely though)?
not root as root. my password on my maschine. the same when i install things. i don't work with root.
I installed all new. and still it doesn't work. so what i did wrong?
how can i install pdfsync.sty?
Jens,
you can get pdfsync at http://itexmac.sourceforge.net/pdfsync.html

As Dan said, Google is your friend: http://www.google.com/search?q=macosx%20latex%20installing%20sty%20files In particular, this leads you to: http://ii2.sourceforge.net/tex-index.html and the section titled: Help! TeX cannot find my file! / Where should I install any extra files?
In general, this is entirely a LaTeX question, probably best asked at the MacOSX Users mailing list, information on which you can find here: http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/main.shtml

ok, as you mentioned, i am a osx newbee. i installed it and it works. but still i don't know what i did wrong with textmate. is textmate this dangerous, that it just overwrite or deleting something?
i want to use textmate with rails... originally...
sorry, that i bother you with my latex questions.
THANKS!

Not by itself. Cmd-B will however save the current file (for LaTeX). That you got an admin password request would indicate that you did not have permission (by default) to save this file.
Could it be that maybe you opened one of the LaTeX “system” files, edited it, pressed cmd-B, then after entering the admin password, you would have overwritten that file, which caused the LaTeX install to break!?!
It’s hard for us to speculate on what went wrong with the limited information. But you can be certain that TM will not go around and break things, unless you explicitly ask it to do so, for example by overwriting system files (which do require admin password).
