You've been on here long enough to know this a totally insufficient request:

That really says nothing at all about your problem. Please explain exactly what you are trying to do, how far you have got and what your specific problem is now.

I can't do a thing with my computer none of the command lines work with Terminal. And i can't find an application that is like the windows command prompt. So i cant start the process of applying the patch. I understand all of the wiki. It just doesn't work.

You want to use Terminal for this.  Also, follow the linux instructions, not the cygwin ones, since you're on a unix machine not a windows machine.

Does macos come with patch?  If not, you'll need to download and install it.

cant find a download through google

The first thing you'll need to install is the xcode development tools from Apple - you can download them from somewhere on apple.com.  This includes the standard C compiler and various other things (I'm assuming patch and diff are included there).

After that, you will need to run the tools/rockboxdev.sh script in the Rockbox source code - this will download and install the cross-compilers needed to compile Rockbox.
