2.6.38 broke pretty much everything
I ran pacman -Syu and upgraded kernel. now almost nothing works.
I have no USB, ethernet, video (got a command line), alsa/audio, etc. Even fallback does the same thing. lshw doesn't find the ethernet device (or usb), nor does ifconfig. I'm not sure what other information to post, but I'll post more if needed. and re-running mkinitcpio didnt help.

Does anybody have a link to an old kernel26 packages (x86_64) before this update???
I would like to downgrade and see if it fixes my problem except I ran a pacman -Scc a few days back.
for the next time
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_Packages
Well, I did read the wiki first, and I searched the forums next and found this thread.
I knew that I had already cleared my /var/cache with a pacman -Scc and I didn't feel like building an old kernel26 from source, and when I read the next part about ARM I was way too impatient and only skimmed the first paragraph and saw "The site is in a state of flux as of this date" which made me impatiently scroll down before reading the rest of that part... so I missed the part about how easy it would be to have add a different repo to pacman.conf and use -Suu...
and for some reson I still havent added the module needed for LVM snapshots so that part wouldn't of worked either.
I really was just looking for a quick link to an old package repo that I have used before for similar problems... it's just real easy to download a package from a page and then pacman -U it to see if that was the reason of the problem in the first place. I even found that web page http://schlunix.org/archlinux/core/os/x86_64/ when searching some other pages. (right before jokerboy posted a second link to another repo with old packages)
But the ArchWiki is the #1 reason I'm an Arch user, everytime I try to leave Arch for another distro I just can't believe how much better the ArchWiki documentation is than any other distro except maybe Gentoo... I guess I was just being lazy and impatient last night cause I didn't even check the bug pages for the true fixes to my problems (just like Ramses de Norre suggested), and like I said above... I should have read the section about ARM more thoroughly.
Thank you bangkok_manouel and off220 for your answers, and thanks again for everybody that has helped.
I'm going to re-install the new kernel and run alsactl store and add that line to my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf and see if that works... if not then I'll just downgrade again.

IPhone 4S has lost sound on iTunes, films and pretty much everything since ios6 update!
I updated to iOS 6 yesterday and since then I have lost all sound of my iTunes and films and stuff. There is no volume control available. It did work earlier for a brief time but stopped again. I have tried restarting, resetting and pretty much everything I can to resolve this but to no avail. Does any key have any ideas or have apple bugger up us iPhone 4S users? Please help its annoying me as I use iTunes a lot. Also I get no unlock sound or key clicks.
Try a hard reset.....
Press and hold the Wake / Sleep button and the Home button at the same time, keep them both pressed until the Apple Logo appears. -

Cannot capture, but can do pretty much everything else with deck. What now?
Hello everybody,
I'm writing for the Gateway Media Center. We're basically a small group of students which handles anything video or TV related for a public school district, mainly the high school. Our main editing system (Mac connected to a MiniDV deck via FireWire)is the subject of this post.
And we've got a bit of a problem. I've seen it at least once before on these forums, but no solution in that topic helped.
Basically, we can't capture video or audio with Final Cut Pro, but we can control the deck, watch audio levels coming from the deck within Final Cut, and even record edited material to tape with the deck just fine. We CAN capture with another application.
I'd like to say that NO, we have not updated anything within the past six months or so, at least not to my knowledge. (The problem started last week).
*_A detailed decription of what DOESN'T work:_*
Log & Capture window: The preview monitor within the window always shows the default color bars and the black horizontal band that roughly says 'Preview Disabled'.
*With device 'FireWire NTSC' selected:*
*Aud+Vid, Capture Now:* The black window with the whire Final Cut window opens. The bottom says 'Waiting for Timecode'. After this sits there for a few seconds, a message pops up and says roughly 'The operation could not be completed because there is no video'. The deck is automatically paused.
*Video Only, Cap. Now:* same as above^.
*Audio Only, Cap. Now:* Black window, bottom says 'capturing now', as it should, but when the Esc key is hit a message that says roughly 'ERROR: Final Cut could not read the movie file just captured' pops up.
*With 'Non-Controlable device' selected:* same as above, except that 'Waiting for Timecode' is replaced with 'Allocating Disk Space'.
*A detailed description of what DOES work:*
- Video and Audio go TO the deck, whether it's from Timeline/Canvas, Viewer, or Print to Video. I succesfully recorded an edit to tape just yesterday.
- The deck can be controlled with the JKL keys, the buttons on the Log & Cap. window, go to In point and even Batch Capture cues the tape correctly.
- Timecode is visible in the top right of the preview monitor in the L&C window, and it is the right timecode.
- Audio levels visible (in that stand-alone window which is usually to the right of the timeline) match what I'm hearing from the deck's analog monitor.
- Vidi, a simple little program, can record video which is manually cued with the deck. The saved video file(s) can then be successfully imported into FCP.
_*Trouble-shooting ALREADY attempted:*_
1) Correct turn on order: Shut everything down, unplug the deck's power, turn on and log into Mac, plug in deck and wait for it to wake up, turn the deck on, then launch Final Cut.
2) Check deck's input and output settings.
3) Unplug other FireWire devices. (We use an external hard drive connected on the same firewire bus. Not that it's ever been a problem)
4) Change Captrue Scratch location and make sure there's enough disk space.
5) Delete Final Cut Pro Preferences and that 'com.apple.finalcutpro.plist' thing.
_*Trouble-shooting NOT attempted:*_
1) Replace FireWire cable. I think it's safe to say the cable's fine since the computer can capture with Vidi, but I guess I should try this too, next time I get a chance.
2) Remove receipts and Re-install Final Cut Pro. (Really, a last resort.)
_*The specs:*_
Yes, this stuff is pretty old. Like I said, we're talking about a pulic school district, and the system usually suits us just fine.
FCP: Final Cut Pro HD (Academic) 4.5
+set up with the 'DV NTSC 48kHz' Easy Setup. Video playback on 'FireWire NTSC 720x480'. Yes, External Video All Frames.+
*The Mac:* PowerMac G4 (of what I believe would be called the MDD case model family)
OS: Mac OS X, version 10.3.9
CPUs: Dual 1.25GHz PowerPC G4, 2 MB L3 cache per processor
RAM: 1 GB DDR SDRAM
HDDs: Two drives, reportedly on the 'ATA-6' bus.
*The Deck:* JVC SR-DVM700 (3-in-1 MiniDV (with the 'PROFESSIONAL DV' logo), hard drive, and DVD-RW/RAM), 4-pin FireWire port connected to 6-pin port on Mac.
+Deck's Monitor:+ one professional CRT video monitor with built-in mono speaker, analog inputs directly connected to deck, made by JVC.
Sorry about the long post, I wanted to make it clear.
We're getting into a nice crunch as the school year is ending, and we really need to get this running. Any tips would be great!
Thanks,
Jake T.
+Gateway Media Communication Center / Gateway High School Video Club / Gateway Video Productions+That makes sense, but our problem started last week - Final Cut captured fine before then.
And I don't think it's been updated lately, as 7.4.5 is the latest version of QuickTime for OS10.3.9. If an update caused the problem, wouldn't the update be to 7.4.5, and not 7.3.1?
Nevertheless, I'll try it.
Thanks,
Jake T. -
I turned my iPod off last night and when I went to turn it back on, it got stuck on the logo. I tried to reboot it but it got stuck again. I waited about 15-20 minutes before rebooting it again. It got stuck once again. I plugged it into the computer. The logo came back up but it went away and it showed that I needed to download music from iTunes. I got on iTunes and said it found an iPod in recovery mode and it needed to be restored. Before restoring, I downloaded the updated version of iTunes. After trying to restore my iPod, it said it could not be restored because of error 3194. I then turned my firewall off, opened ports 80 and 443. Nothing seems to work. If you can help. Please do. Thanks.
Did you ever jailbreak or mess with TinyUmbrella? Sounds like your Hosts file is mucked up and pointing the wrong way.

ITunes wont open, tried pretty much everything
So earlier this month I went to update to iTunes 8.0.2, expecting the same standard process. When I went to open iTunes after the update, though, nothing happens. When I poen the task manager, I find that no application is running. But when I check my processes screen, I find that iTunes.exe is open, but operating at only about 14,000K of memory usage. (iTunes, if I remember correctly, can usually hog around 100,000K of mem usage)
So I tried to repair, no go. I tried uninstalling, downloading the installer straight from the website, and then reinstalling. This too failed. I even went as far as to use a special uninstall tool, Revo Uninstaller, to deep scan and clear the registry of the last remnants of it, Quicktime, and iPod updater. After completely getting rid of this, I downloaded the installer for iTunes 8.0.1 to use the last version of iTunes that worked for me. And yet again, I still have nothing happen when I open iTunes.Had same problem for weeks. Kept following and reading all discussions re this. Several people mentioned that Norton virus blocker (even when they thought it had been removed from their system in place of a different blocker). I didn't have Norton, I had Verizon Wireless Security Suite, experimentally, I disabled the virus blocker and Wha-lah!
Give it a try...
good luck! -

Have an iphone 4 all of a sudden turned off and wont turn on, tried holding buttons, connecting it to pc to restore it, is there any other way i have pretty much tried everything, what do I do
Hi Sian.riches,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know it can be both concerning and frustrating if your iPhone will not turn on as expected. I also know your have done some great troubleshooting already. I would suggest reading over the attached article and trying the troubleshooting steps provided to ensure everything has been done.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Have a great day,
Joe -
In the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus. I have never had that happened to a computer, but I have surely heard about it. I can't think of any other reason it is behaving like this. I know that Macs have been pretty much impervious to viruses, but that was before they were the majority of users.
Anyway, what is happening is, my computer keeps crashing whenever I try to open a program, app, document, folder, file, etc. I tried to boot from Drive Genius to establish the problem, but Drive Genius crashed too. I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
Before I go there I was hoping someone in the community would have a suggestion to help me avoid that ultimate last resort. The tech support guy at Drive Genius told me that probably would have to be the way to go (as in reboot) and if that doesn't clear it up, it's repair time.
Thank you for your consideration in advance;
Lorain RIn the last few days, it seems that my computer has all of a sudden caught a virus.
As others have pointed out, this isn't malware. That should not be your first (or even fifty-first) thought when your Mac starts misbehaving. For more on this topic, see my Mac Malware Guide.
I know the last ditch effort (after cleaning and maintenance of disc verification and permissions and repairs, is to reboot from the system disc.
You mention "cleaning and maintenance." Have you been running utilities claiming to do those things? If so, you may be the victim of an overly-zealous cleaning job, which has removed important files and damaged your system.
If I'm understanding correctly, you're unable to open any applications at all... is that right? Do you have any backups? If you don't have backups, you're in a sticky situation, as it will be difficult to make backups in your current state, but you shouldn't try any kind of repairs without them. (Actually, you shouldn't do anything with your computer without backups, but this is especially important when something is going badly wrong.)
If you have backups, reboot from your Snow Leopard install disc. From there, first, repair the hard drive with Disk Utility. Once that is done, assuming repairs were successful, reinstall the system. You can simply reinstall it on top of your current system, and it will replace any damaged or lost system files with new copies. (You'll also need to update the system via Software Update after reinstalling.)
If you don't have backups, or if Disk Utility can't repair damage, or if the problem continues even after a reinstall, post back with those details. -
last night I was downloading something for church (I am new to Mac notebooks it's the first one I've ever owned and I've owned it since March 2014). I have never had a problem ever with this computer that's one reason I love it. So after I was downloading this thing it sent me somewhere and to download my file so I had download my file well I don't think it downloaded the file I wanted because I never saw that file ever again I've tried everything to figure out what's going on because now my Internet is pretty much crashed it says that there is no Internet connection I have pop-ups that want to stop me using my Internet and says it's unavailable then last night when I was on a site I have all these things at the top and at the bottom that show me other prices for things and I can't figure out how to get those off I go to their website for removal and there is no removal for Mac. Google is my search engine it will not let me put in Google when I go to type for google it throws me on Yahoo no matter what Yahoo has pretty much taken over my Internet and I don't know what to do it it's a mess. Can someone please help me I am definitely not Mav Savy.

Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect everything targeting the Mac.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware. -
My iphone is stuck in recovery mode and itunes will not recognize my phone. I've tried pretty much every trick i can and i still do not know what to do. Someone please help me
I've done all of these, even trying a different USB port, and still, nothing. This is really confusing. Windows 8.1 said something to do with USB malfunction or something and nothing works. I need to restore my iPhone quickly and nothing has happened. My cable is not genuine Apple product. iTunes makes the noise that it makes when I connect the device, but it doesn't say 'iPhone is in recovery mode' or even say 'iPhone' in the corner. I am really fed up and would really appreciate a response.
Thanks,

2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore? It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store? Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?
Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one. -
I've pretty much confirmed that the interactivity between Word/Acrobat Mac vs. Word/Acrobat PC is completely hosed in certain situations...Please tell me I am wrong!
Situation: two workgroups need to work with each other sharing and editing word and pdf files for complex documents containing a TOC, list of figures, etc.
Problems reproducible on many machine types and configs:
1. WORD FILES: TOCs do not retain hot links within a doc that has been touched by a mac, and then re-saved as a PDF with the intent to have a linked TOC with chapter heads.
2. PDF FILES: that have been touched by a mac, for example to edit the document properties, will loose all TOC function as in problem #1 above.
In short, this rots for mac users who have to share/edit these files with PC brethren.
The only solution that I found for mac users is this:
Do your thing in Word 2008. Then have a PC version of Word and PC version of acrobat installed on a virtual drive like Parallels or VMWare, etc. Delete your TOC using MS Word for Windows, reinsert a new one, and then use the PC distiller installed into word by Acrobat Professional to create a new PDF that will be cross-platform functional.
I had a meeting with the Mac users to explain this work around and they looked at me like I was crazy, and they pretty much said go pound sand, we don't care if the TOCs are linked or not.
Well, I may be exaggerating there a bit, but NO ONE was happy with this solution, including myself. Our BIG question is "Is anyone going to fix this problem in the shortterm?!?" And it's Microsoft and Adobe both that seem to have some responsibility here...with an emphasis on Adobe, as it's clearly not just an MS isssue, as you can totally destroy a working TOC in a PDF file by just editing the file properties on a mac. Arg...
I also find it frustrating that Adobe does not have a forum for cross-platform specific issues, which to me seems consipiritory. Ha!

Why does Photoshop CC beeps incessantly when I do pretty much anything? (Video example included)
Hello everyone,
Photoshop CC has recently started beeping whenever I do pretty much anything. Here is a video of the beeping in action.
http://www.screenr.com/3h5H
The beeping happens when I do any of the following things:
Increase canvas size
Opened a new document
Transfering an image from one document to another
Duplicate layers
Undo an action
This is just what I'm pulling off the top of my head.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Still doing it? I should have ran your video, so sorry for that. That sort of beeping is mostly likely hardware related, and coming from the BIOS. It is also a warning!
First thing I would do is install Speccy
http://www.piriform.com/speccy
...and have a very close look at system temperatures. It might be that a fan has failed, or is clogged with dust, or you are using a laptop sat on a soft surface blocking the vents?
Or it might be memory, like a loose or failing RAM stick. There various free downloads that will test your memory.
Or it might be none of the above, but they are too serious not to look at ams hopefully eliminate.
OK. Does this only happen in Photoshop? If so, what is unique to Photoshop? A graphics tablet for instance?
