The '$' in the example is the shell prompt character... enter the commands that follow the prompt.

cd /Library/Application Support
not
$ cd /Library/Application Support

The Terminal can be a dangerous place if you're unsure of what you're doing.

The first command should be:
cd /Library/Application\ Support


(The backslash is required before the "space" in the pathname)

Are you using "sudo" at the beginning of the command? And is the chown syntax correct? If so, it sounds like you've got a corrupt bash_profile, and it's lost the path to the bin directory where these commands are.
