How can you ignore one specific version of a package when upgrading?

Hi all,
Due to a rather nasty bug in mplayer, the current version in the Arch repositories is unusable for me. I am currently running the previous version without any problems, but every time I try to upgrade, pacman wants to reinstall this broken version.
I don't want to list mplayer in the IgnorePkgs option, because then I won't get any new versions. Since the bug has long been fixed, the next Arch version should work fine - it's just the current Arch version (35014) that is broken and I want to ignore.
Is there some way I can blacklist this specific version of the package, so although it won't ever be installed, any newer version will?
I tried adding "mplayer-35014" and "mplayer-35014-1" to IgnorePkgs but it didn't work.
Any suggestions?

Hmm, I hadn't thought of that. I didn't actually build a package from it, because I didn't know where the problem was. So I just compiled a bunch of things the old fashioned way and ran them without installing anything until I had narrowed down the problem. But I'm sure there's an mplayer-svn in AUR I could use - good idea.

HT1386 How do you sync one specific song

How do you sync one specific song from your itunes library in the computer to your phone

Make sure that the "Sync Music" option from the Music tab in your iTunes is checked but not the "Entire music library" underneath the "Entire music library" option you can select which parts of you iTunes library to sync with your iPhone.

How can you make one button preform different actions in Xcode?

How can you make one button "preform a click" and "orderfront"? Is that possible? Because what I am doing is making a welcome window to my application for Mac OS X 10.6, and I have two buttons in that window, one says "Connect" which connects a a WebView to a url and the other button opens up the main window. So how can I a make a button do multiple things at once??

Ah - If you are just using bindings between various objects from Interface Builder, you can reduce your application code a bit (sometimes quite a bit), but there is only so far you can go. Typically variables and routines are defined in your application that Interface Builder hooks into, so that your application code (usually Objective-C, but can be others) can use these variables and routines to determine what is happening in the user interface.
I'm not sure how up-to-date the project code is (or what programming code you are familiar with), but you can take a look at Apple's Cocoa Application Tutorial to see what is (usually) involved in creating an application.

HT1810 i run a mac and a macbook. how can i keep one true version of my files?

i have just purchased an imac and already use a macbook. how can i work on both machines at different time but keep one up to date version of my files?

There are different ways to do this but a very simple and easy way is with Dropbox. Home - Dropbox
This app puts a folder on each mac (or iOS device) you have and syncs the folders with a folder online. When you finish working with a document and save it, it will sync on all your devices.
iCloud will do the same but not with all kinds of documents, only with certain Apple apps.
There are also third party apps that will sync folders over your local network.
I use dropbox.

How can you use one NetStream to publish video and audio from another NetStream in AS3?

Let's say one of your client programs in AS3 is able to receive live video and audio from a NetStream and play it on the screen. How could you make it also take that video/audio stream that it's receiving, copy it over into another NetStream, and publish it elsewhere? I need to know how to do with this regardless of whether RTMP, RTMFP, or some mixture is involved. The reason why the stream needs to be relayed this way is a real long story, but it's necessary in this particular case. Thanks!

RTMP is TCP, which has higher overhead and latency because it guarantees packets are delivered (handshaking, causing latency and overhead). It also doesn't allow you to share connections directly between clients forcing the server to do all the work.
RTMFP uses UDP, which is a choice protocol for streaming video because it's the opposite. It's lossy which decreases latency and overhead from no retransmissions and most importantly (in some applications) allows you to connect directly from one Flash Player to another Flash Player (p2p) so the server overhead is dramatically reduced. The server is only required to negotiate the initial connection and then it's up to the clients to continue to facilitate that.
How you code your one to many or many to many relationship broadcast network will be based entirely on which of those you choose.
URLStream is very common to use in p2p. Here's an older Adobe article on p2p and an alternate quick old video tutorial (FP10) as a quick simple example of p2p over RTMFP you can view the source of.

How can you use one image and edit it three different ways to export later?

I am a new Lightroom 3 user. How can use the same image and edit it multiple ways to produce mulitple images to later export? For example, I have a picture of a bride and groom. I want to use that image and create a color image, a black and white image, and a close up of their hands.

Do I need to do either of those options before I start editing the image at all? For example, what if I am working on the image and doing some creative edits. Then I think of another option that I could do. Is it too late at that time or can I still get the original image to begin with?

HT2534 how can you reset or remove a ipad icloud account when bought off line

how can i i get past the icloud activation screen / i bought a ipad 2 dont know owner to have them remove the lock screen to get on the main page with apps

Placing your device into recovery (DFU) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Additional Information:
If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

How can you set Thunderbird to accept multiple attachments, particularly when selecting "email" in Windows Gallery with T'bird selected as default email

Using Windows Gallery to send email photos - wioth each selection T'Bird opens a new email form. How can I set T'Bird to accept multiple attachments (similar to Gmail ).
Using W'Gallery has the benefit of rteducing size of emailed pic to a few hundre kb.
Thanks

You best ask the windows gallery people. Thunderbird opening more than one window is based on yhow the request is made, not on Thunderbird,
Selecting multiple files in explorer simply adds them to a mail, therefore the Windows gallery is the problem.

Can you set alerts specific for different calendars so when you create an event, the alert for the event is already set?

On google calendar if you had a calendar for work and one for school, you can set alerts for earch so when you add a class or work related event, the event is set with alerts for that calendar. Can you do that with iCal?

Hi Steven,
This is one of the reasons why I wrote Dates to iCal.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries.
Best wishes

Yet Another Expressing anger and dissatisfaction over the Cyan situation. How can you ignore so many and not answer a single question about this?

When I bought my Icon it was advertised as being "8.1 ready." Soon, I was led to believe, I would have Cortana. I was told that there were improvements to the camera that were in the Cyan firmware. As this phone had high spec hardware and was being called the Windows "flagship phone" on Verizon, I had no reason to doubt the update would arrive.
Not only did it not, as we are all aware, but as months went by and people took to this forum, other Windows forums and Twitter to complain and question, Verizon has never put out a simple clear statement to their customers about what their intentions are and when they might take action. I feel deceived and ignored.
To not address this in any way when so many are so vocally asking is rude. Quite simply rude.
Even today the Icon is available online at the Microsoft store and the copy there says that this phone is "Windows Phone 8.1 ready" with an asterisk that leads to the disclaimer that "update availability and timing varies by carrier." It has been four months since this update began rolling out.
What has led me to post this and lend my voice to the chorus is the articles published in the last day or two saying that Verizon has now changed the status of the update to "under development." Once again, without a single word of explanation or apology. Without a single message to all of their customers who have been asking for information for months. Again, just rude.
These articles suggest the reason for the delay is Verizon's dissatisfaction with how their apps are working with 8.1. Of course there is no way for me to know if this is true since Verizon will not say anything at all about it. So I might as well believe what the reports say I guess. This of course makes the whole thing so much worse.
Verizon, are you seriously holding up this thing that all of your customers want so as to make sure the horrible bloatware that no one wants will "work"?! You can't put out the update and then fix your terrible apps yourself like every other app maker? Only so that we can then uninstall them anyway? This is ridiculous and insulting.
Verizon is always trying to disable phone features to customer's detriment and their profit. I don't doubt that is what this delay is about. Now it is difficult to tether my phone without paying an extra fee even though the feature is built into Windows Phone. Just a way to keep me from using the data that I payed for and that is allotted to me. In the old days you couldn't move pictures off of your phone through the usb cable you had. You had to send them over the network and use data.
Why not try providing services instead of taking them away and delaying them? Why not treat customers well instead of ignoring their questions? Why not do what is right and allow Microsoft to update their hardware, hardware that we bought after being told that it was 8.1 ready?

Hi Danny-CoolKID,
AIM for Mac is not at version 5.9
It is here http://www.aim.com/getaim/mac/latestmacosx.adp?aolp=0
It is still at version 4.7 and the pages style has not been changed along with the other AIM pages.
It does NOT do Audio or Video Chats.
If you are looking at text only then also consider
1) Proteus (Site being revamped at present)
2) AdiumX
Both these are third party software that can connect to multiple services.
As iVmichael says there are other crossplatform solutions as well.

How can I save one specific page from a .pdf file into it's own .pdf file?

I've got this 4 page pdf file, and I need to save just one page from it. I know that there's the option of using the select tool and doing a copy/paste to an image file, but I'm trying to keep it as a .pdf and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Perhaps this solutions workability will depend a lot on what type and generation of PDF you got and the tech built into the program suggested....
But ! (never-the-less)
You could try to see if the "Free PDF to Word Doc Converter version 1.1" will work for you....
I know it will not get you a single page .PDF but if the program works you could get a .Doc of which you might have the possibility to save a single page after editing it !(?)

How can you share only specific folders with windows

I took the following steps to share my macbookpro files with my desktop windows XP sp3. I am using a router to connect these two computers.
1)system preferences > sharing > file sharing > options > CHECK BOX "share files and folders using SMB (Windows)" >check box 'on' my one of the 2 accounts on macbookpro> hit ''Done'' > GREEN red dot next to "Windows Sharing: on"
2) I then added 3 FOLDERS to the "shared folders:" list on 'system preferences > sharing > file sharing'
3) system preferences > network > Location >"automatic" in the drop down menu > hit edit location and create a new location with the default name "Automatic Copy" Go to Advanced> WINS > change work group to "MSHOME" (this is the name of work group on my desktop windows pc)
4) system preferences > accounts > other accounts> guest accounts: check the blue box " Allow guests to connect to shared folders"
5) go to my network places on xp. > click add a network place>Next>choose another network location>Next>Browse>entire network>Microsoft windows nework>Mshome>Macbookpro>clicked on the folder ”my account from my step #1 "
Now ALL files on this account on my macbook are shared with my desktop.
THIS IS INTERESTING AS IN STEP 1, I Had given permission to share ONLY 3 FOLDERS and I do not want to share every single macbook folder from my account with this desktop.
Please help. I have been unable to fix it. I am very new to mac world.

You'll have to open another iCloud account - you can't share access to just part of the email account.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and create a new ID - you will need a different non-Apple email address to do this.
Sign in with it in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars and enable 'Mail' in the checklist there. You should be asked to create a new @icloud.com address.
This account will then appear alongside your present one in Mail. Your lawyer can access it in the usual way - if he doesn't have a Mac he can set the account up manually using the server settings here:

How can you reset your Photoshop version default in Bridge CS5?

After installing Photoshop CS6 , I have decided my workflow is much better in CS5, but cannot get Bridge to acknowledge Photoshop CS5 with keyboard commands [ex. command O] after deinstalling Photoshop CS6.
I assumed this would have been a Preferences option but it is not.
Please tell me this can be done.
Personally, I find CS6 really slow, specifically with keyboard functions. CS5 would allow you to cue several tasks while it's working on present task. CS6 won't even let you close a file [command W] in mid-save...

Oops.
Hadn't restarted Bridge CS5 since deinstalling CS6. Now it's opening files in Photoshop CS5.
