[SOLVED] Cant figure out how to install kde 4.3rc from official "testi

Well, I'm very new to this and I have lots of questions about Arch and I've been reading lots of forum posts and wiki articles.
Now,I've installed everything in the beginners guide with exception of a DE. And that's because I want to install kde 4.3rc even if the development id not complete yet. I want to install it from official repositories and not from kdemod.
I see there is a kde-unstable repo that I have to enable. But I kind of read that to use it I have to enable testing also and "know how to use it" And well, thats the problem about being new to Arch isn't it? I don't know how to use it nor there is some wiki article called testing.
So I have 2 questions:
How can I "use" testing repo? Are there guidelines to use it or maybe recommendations? I'm thinking about enabling that repo only for kde 4.3 and not for other packages, so, How do I do that?
And also, If I install kde 4.3rc now, whene it is moved to extra in a couple of days/weeks, how should I disable kde testing repo and enable extra again to keep my kde up to date? Will I need to reinstall everything when this happens?
Lol... Those where like 10 questions instead of 2... But maybe the answer is very small. I hope someone can give me some advice.
Thanks

Hi, I can't answer all your questions but can help you get started.
The file you want is at /etc/pacman.conf so use your editor of choice and open that file. So say I use the vi editor it would be >>>
vi /etc/pacman.conf
If the package you want is in testing uncomment testing repo.
If its at a custom repo put in the custom package repository info at bottom of that file.
Then use pacman -S "package-name" to install what you want.
EDIT
Heres some links maybe some help to you, I don't use kde so don't know anything about it.

i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures. i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
and on a second problem. I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

Cant figure out how to install vcenter, or even what OS it requires, help!

Unfortunately, the excellent vsphere windows client has now been discontinued (or at least we assume it has because we get error message "you have restricted editing capabilities on a virtual machine of version 9...). So now we have to figure out how to get the web client.
We don't want to install vcenter, due to the unnecessary complexity and cost, but it looks like we have to.
Unfortunately, I cant find out how to install vcentre - I found a page with the prerequisites, but It didn't mention the most important piece of information - what OS it needs, nor how to actually install it from the iso.
We are using vmware essentials kit on a single host. We dont have any windows server licenses, so if vcenter requires this, vmware is out, unfortunately.
what OS is required for vcenter
is vcenter free?
Do we need vcenter or vcenter server, or are they the same?
how do we get it?
How do we install it?
How do we access the web panel?
Where is the documentation? We have spent some considerable time looking for it. The nearest is this page:VMware vSphere Documentation which is for vsphere, not vcenter, and only includes info about the vcenter appliance. On this page is a documentation link to the right, but vcenter is not included in the list of products - its like it doesn't exist.
Why do vmware make it so hard to use vsphere now? Why doesn't sphere simply come with vcenter, as it cant work without it now, or at least offer it as an option when installing vsphere. It must be a show stopper for many people like us who want to evaluate vmware to virtualise a hand full of non HA environments, but get stuck at this point.

Just to clarify, vSphere is a suite of products that includes vCenter, ESXi (The hypervisor) and a whole range of other products.
There is a free version of the ESXi hypervisor but it is limited in features and you get basic management options, no vCenter server to manage multiple hosts so you can't use HA, vMotion, DRS etc etc
The reason for the lengthy installation documentation is that customers have a wide range of requirements, however most will probably opt for the "simple install" option!
Documentation wise, I prefer the HTML version which you can easily search / browse: vSphere 6.0 Documentation Center
1) vCenter requires Windows Server, however you can also use the Linux appliance, saving a windows license. This is much improved in recent years however is still missing some functionality such as Update Manager that some customers will use.
2) No, you need a license for vCenter, it manages your ESXi hosts and manages your virtual environment. See: Compare VMware vSphere Editions and Kits Comparison | United States
3) vCenter / vCenter server are the same thing
4) You need to purchase it, or use a free 60 day evaluation
5) As per the documentation above. The simple install is your best option to get it instaled in 30 minutes, or try the appliance version (Import it onto a host, boot and follow the instructions, database is included, very easy to deploy and no additional licensing costs)
6) Via https://vCenter-Hostname:9443
7) As above

Hey kevyg3,
I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:

Hope this helps,

Cant figure out how to install the Developer edition

Hey everybody, I'm totally new to ColdFusion technology. I
work in the advertising world working on print related material.
Feeling a desire to learn more, I decided to teach myself Flash.
So, I picked up the Flash Bible and began reading. After I finished
the section on creating forms in Flash, I thought it would be a
good idea to learn ColdFusion so I could learn how to write server
side scripts and test them on my local machine with my Flash forms
before deploying them to a remote server. In any case, I downloaded
the free Developer edition of ColdFusion MX 7. Something is going
wrong, and I have no idea why? After I finished completing each
section of the installation process, the program does not seem to
install into my hard drive. I have the path for the program to be
installed in my applications folder on my hard drive. I'm also
running on MAC OS 10.4.8.
Here is some info on my computer:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Name: Power Mac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac7,2
CPU Type: PowerPC 970 (2.2)
Number Of CPUs: 2
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 1 GHz
Boot ROM Version: 5.1.5f0
And this I copied from the Adobe site for ColdFusion MX 7
system requirements:
Macintosh
ColdFusion Product Editions Enterprise, Standard, Developer
Processor PowerPC
Operating System Apple Mac OS X 10.3.9, 10.4.2 and 10.4.3
Memory 512 MB RAM
Hard Disk Space 500 MB

I decide that it may be helpful to include this info that I
copied and
pasted from the installation windows.

i cant figure out how to update my ipod touch from 4.2.7 to ios 7

Connect your iPod to your computer and update via iTunes.
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
If you iPOd has cameras it is a 4G and will go to 6.1.3. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
Otherwise y have a 3G iPod. Those can go to 5.1.1 and you need iTunes 10.5 or later on the computer.
If problem what exactly happens when you try?

If you run into the "another installation" message even after the reboot of the PC (which is an excellent idea by HTP ProXy), reregistering your Windows Installer Service is worth a try.
First, launch a command prompt as an administrator. In your Start search, type cmd then right-click on the cmd that comes up and select "Run as administrator".
At the command prompt:
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /unregister and hit enter.
Type %windir%\system32\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Type %windir%\syswow64\msiexec.exe /regserver and hit enter.
Restart the PC and try another reinstalll.

Cant Figure Out How To Transfer Songs From iPod back to PC????

I recently got a different computer which I have installed iTunes on and it recognizes my iPod right away but I cant figure out how to get the songs and files from the iPod onto this computer, I'm assuming since its a different computer... so right now it seems like I'm unable to change songs around on my iPod and if I cleared the iPod I'd no longer have any of my songs since they were also on my old computer which is long gone. Your Help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

There are a few third party utilities which allow you to back up your ipod and mirror it with your itunes. I use podutil http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/software/podutil.php you can dl it for free and put up with annoying nag screens or part with £10. I have used a couple of time to rebuild my itunes play list etc (and video) and it works a treat. However it does not backup your notes/contacts/calendar...
