What did I do this time?
I was trying to install kdemod. Things weren't going too bad... then I get an error message about the core, community, and extra repositories not syncing. It says their config files aren't there, which is verified by "ls /etc/pacman.d," which only returns "mirrorlist."
Anyone know how to fix this? I'm diving headfirst into Arch (sink-or-swim tactic) and trying to learn the system. However, I'd like to be able to browse without using lynx.

There have been some changes to pacman.conf. The separate repository files have been replaced by one - mirrorlist.
You probably have an pacman.conf.pacnew file in /etc. Merge any changes you made to pacman.conf (possibly mirrors, repositories enabled and NoUpgrade values) into pacman.conf.pacnew and rename it pacman.conf.
You probably have other config files that need to be merged. Do a:
ls -l /etc/*pac*
Worked like a charm. Have KDEmod up and running and talking to you from Konqueror. This is what I did, exactly:
# ls -l /etc/*pac*
# cd /etc
# vi pacman.conf.pacnew
(added KDEmod repo)
# rm pacman.conf
# cp pacman.conf.pacnew pacman.conf
# pacman -Syu

Sample Rate Madness : What Did I do This Time?
I typically record at 24/48, but last week I had to mix an old project that was originally recorded at 24/44.1. I had some problems switching to and from 44.1 and 48k, probably due to my M-Audio Lightbridge, which seems a little buggy at time. It's clocked over lightpipe by the master, hd24XR, which is also set to match.
Problem:
I changed the autload to 44.1 while mixing the project, it made the devices more stable not having to change back and forth. I forgot to change the autoload back, and recorded a new project today. Both the XR and Lightbridge were set properly to 48k.
I didn't discover my error until the session was 2/3 done, but I had gone back and forth about whether the audio didn't sound quite the same on playback. It seemed a little clearer when I was tracking, as I was probably listening to D/A at 48k. When I checked the files, they were at 44.1. Its nice that I noticed the difference, but I messed up. oops...
Question:
Where did the conversion from 48 to 44.1 take place? The XR said 48, and the Lightbridge said 48 on both the hardware and software control panel. Did Logic automatically down-convert? Or, please tell me no, the M-Audio Lightbridge?
Thanks guys!Hi Ryan,
Do you think it would sound any different if I changed the headers?
Changing the header will not alter the samples/audio data of the files. What you do is change it to the actual sample rate (WC) used when the recording took place, when it presently states the old session sample rate - you then change your session sample rate.
Whats the quickest way to change them all?
As always make backups. I don't know what you have for software (beyond Logic, WaveBurner, iTunes...) there is a free utility called soundhack which should take care of this in minutes - ( I don't know how many you have ).
So, you change the SR for all files then reopen the session.

I lost power to my MacBook Pro before I had saved anything that I was working on...usually I plug my computer it and power it back on and the documents pop right back up when the computer turns on. That did not happen this time. How can I recover my documents?
If you never saved, auto save does not kick in.

CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER AT THIS TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 14.20 UK time
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM THIS TIME?
it's 22:23 in switzerland and the connection to the server dosen't work at all. and it didn't work all day long (1 MB in 15 minutes). sorry, this entire digital publishing thing is one big mess since the beta-version is over - and this situation is just unacceptable. we got a magazin to publish and this stuff just doesn't work - like i said, it's ten in the evening but i still gotta work, just as i did through the week-end; you can guess why.
i work with adobe tools since 15 years - love photoshop, illustrator, flash, indesign an so on. never had any problems, perfect support and everything. i just don't get it, how a big company as adobe can't get this situation fixed... if i can't work offline anymore (as we did with the beta) then it shoudn't be to much if i ask for a server that works. -
I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, change language setting. Now what???
This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up. -
Windows performed an automatic update on my PC this morning. Now, Firefox does not work other than in SAFE mode. I get "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server..." I downloaded and reinstalled the latest version of Firefox and get the same error message. IE works. MS Outlook works. What did Windows do to me this time?
You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection
If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work.
See "Firefox connection settings":

No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
Get help using iCloud storage
This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

# Question
For some reason, I can not delete bookmarks. I did one at a time, then tried 5 or 6 and it worked once then no more. I then tried 1 at a time and it worked once the no more. Why is this happening? This is a brand new computer (Win7) and FF just loaded about 3 hours ago. Do not know how the bookmarks even got in there. Some were ok, but no order and some that were never bookmarks. Looks like FF tried to import some BM's from the Virtual XP installed, but did not get it any where near right. I need to completely delete all of them and install from a saved .html file.Well, I did not see the exact problem that I was having listed in the articles, BUT the problem is solved for now.
I opened FF and the Bookmarks to Organize again. I deleted all of the folders and entries, ONE AT A TIME, AND IT WORKED. Evidently, for what ever reason, FF did not like "Batch" deletes of ANY amount greater than 1 and the HANG UP would occur.
Deleting one at a time then importing the good .html from a good file, loaded the wanted Bookmarks. Yea -

Render time reduced 88%. What did I do, uh, right?
I had a 30 minute PP CS4 project with tons of graphics (rendered AE templates to H.264 movies, movie backgrounds, psd's, etc.), 720p60 footage throughout, music and sfx. It resembled closely the last 30 minute DVD I did, but with more graphical stuff.
The last MPEG2-DVD export took 17 hours (my system is posted in my profile). This one took only two hours and it came out well (it's an educational DVD). The only difference I can think of is that this time I rendered the entire timeline for preview whereas last time I did not. The AME export settings were identical.
Soooo, have I stumbled across a great workflow step (always render before exporting) or is this technically impossible and I'm overlooking something?
Thanks, everyone.Hiya,
dont know if this would help time-wise...etc....but I recently put an asset into a timeline and edited. Before I put the asset in the timeline I looked at what it actually WAS...in gspot and mediainfo....and it was a YUV 420 asset ..
heres what the mediainfo said
heres the choice I made for the project renderer...
Like I said, I dont know if it makes a diff for sure ( like some kinda lab tests etc ) ...but my gut feeling is that if I match the renderer with the asset ....I'm not gonna be losing any "time" or quality etc from either using the rendered files or not .... -
I am a geezer. My PC cannot load Super Fetch at boot time. What did I delete in my tidy, tidy, tidy?
Hi Gang,
OK, I have been sick for sixteen years, about as long as the Target hacker has been alive. I will be 67 in a few weeks. My PC tells me it cannot load SuperFetch at boot time. What did I clobber? I saved the message as offered.
Thanks,
Al MarcyHi,
Could you please post the complete event log
here? Was this error message related with superfetch service? The error message here seems to be mostly associated with .Net framework.
Few more questions here, what actions had been taken before the error occurred? Have you checked if any viruses attacked? In addition, please take a try with system file checker.(More infor
for SFC).
Regarding SuperFetch, it caches data to RAM so that it can be immediately available to your application. Sometimes this can affect the performance of certain applications. It tends to not work
well with gaming, but can improve performance with business apps. And this service is dependent on the following system components:
File Information FS MiniFilter
FltMgr
Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
DCOM Server Process Launcher
RPC Endpoint Mapper
More information, please check
superfetch in:
Threats and Countermeasures Guide: System Services
To see if superfetch is disabled or not, please check the steps below:
1. Click the Start orb and type Regedit in the Start Search area.
2. Open the Registry Editor.
3. Click the plus sign next to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then SYSTEM
then CurrentControlSet
then Control
then Session Manager
then MemoryManagement
then click PrefetchParameters
4. On the right side, double-click on EnableSuperfetch
5. Check the value of it, it is set to
3 by default on win7:
Values:
0 to disable Superfetch
1 to enable prefetching when program is launched
2 to enable boot prefetching
3 to enable prefectching of everything
Hit OK then Close RegEdit. "
Then goto the services MSC ("windows key + r" or just "windows key" and type
services.msc). Scroll down to Superfetch and now should start. Double click it and change to automatic, then attempt to start again.
If we fail to start this service, I suggest we
export following keys from the computer on Which Windows 7 works fine, and then import to your computer to repair this service. On the good win7 PC:
Navigate to :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\SysMain
Right click on the
SysMain, choose export, and then move the export file on the problematic PC, double click the file.
Hope this helps,
Best regards
Michael

Hey! What's Up With THIS!?
I've been working on a Keynote Presentation for some time now.
Once I added the iCloud.
The system kep going into Storage Mode every 3-4 click on the keyboard or mouse.
So I decided to shut the iCloud down from my computer.
Oh Yeah... Here's the FUN Part.
The system stated 'IF I did..... Everything loaded into theiCloud would be removed from my computer
(MacBook Pro).
So soon after (I obviously didn't disconnect the iCloud, can't afford to losse 'who knows what')
So soon after I went into my iPhone to turn it off as well...
There I received the message/question "Do you want items left on your iPhone?"
Huh! I didn't even receive that option on the Mac.Sweet! Thank You Very Much!
You should be a Tech!
You explained it as simple as any Apple Tech I've spoken to.
I'm in Alaska.
We just received our first Apple Store 2 months ago.
During their third week of operation, I mistakenly walked in assuming it was a
contract Apple store (I heard a New branch/store of an Apple sub had opened a new store in
Anchorage). Needless to say, I bet I took 15 -20 classes in that week. Tuesday through Monday.
Yep! I cancelled everything and just nailed everyone I could.
I live near Fairbanks approximately 7+ hrs away.
I had never had any instruction on Apple/Mac since becoming a PC convert just before Christmas of 2008.
The Crew of Trainers Apple brought in, and New one's still in training are Exceptional!
I've been like a five year old with a Ferrari until these Awesome Folks and Kids trained me in at
That Apple Store. They even assisted me in tweeking a Keynote Presentation prior to going into a 6 day
Engineering Show also in Anchorage three weeks ago. -
Logic Pro 8 crashes every time I press "record." What could be causing this?
Hi,
I have Logic Pro 8 and opened it today for the first time after updating to Snow Leopard. Logic opens just fine, but if I try to record an audio track it crashes almost immediately (I was just using the built-in microphone, nothing external). It doesn't crash if I record to a midi track. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I went and updated to 8.0.2 and it still did the same thing. This never happened before. I'm wondering if it's related to using Snow Leopard?
Thanks for any advice you might have!Hi,
All your Creations should be fine...
But just to be Safe, back them up to an External HD and save them as PROJECTS with ALL ASSETS...
Just make sure to have the LP 8 Serial Number handy for when and if, you are asked for it during the Install...
Also, after the Install, don't forget to Run Software Update to get the Latest version of LP 8...
Cheers,
