Action: Skip on install package

I trashed iTunes 7, I trashed everything having to with iTunes. Now when i try to install iTunes 6.0.5, the install package opens, it say's it's running something to determine if it can be installed, then I have to agree, then it goes to the install screen..all normal so far, but then it lists the package names (iTunes, iPoddriver for Mac OS X 10.2.8, iTunes phone driver) and they are all greyed out. In the "Action" column of the install screen it says "skip" next to each item. When I click "install" it says "You cannot continue. There is nothing to install."
how do i install 6.0.5 ? and what do you think went wrong?
PowerBook G4 (17") Mac OS X (10.4.7)

[No need]Reducing number of post-install packages (fresh Arch + XFCE)

Hi,
I am inspired by posts by slithery in post-install package count; his discussion here and my willingness to follow-foot steps. Need suggestions/tips what packages can be removed based on details below.
1. Defining usage:
Normal PC having XFCE, thunderbird, firefox, yaourt and wine (for MS-Office with 32bit libs unfortunately needed for work) with 64-bit stock kernel. Other utilities include eog (image viewer), PDF viewer, cups, simple-scan, hplip + hplip plugin, dvd burner and some fonts packages.
I have attempted to remain native on XFCE while installing utilities/needs to avoid unnecessary dependencies unless some functionality needed (such as eog).
2. Current package count
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Qe | wc -l
143
[archpc ~]$ pacman -Q | wc -l

5. Packages removable IMO
More could be possible based on suggestions, but IMHO and is it safe?:
|Package Name | Reason |
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
|man-db 2.7.1-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|man-pages 3.81-1 | For me: Wiki, Google and Forums are > what I need. |
|xterm | xfce4-terminal is installed so is it needed? |
|reiserfsprogs | No need for reiser FS support (if it is what package does). |
|jfsutils | No need for JFS support. |
|xfsprogs | No need for XFS support. |
|lvm2 | I think no need for logical VM (but not sure). |
|mdadm | I think no need for md devices monitoring/managing. ]
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------
|xfwm4-themes | No big fan of theming unless required for XFCE. |
|btrfs-progs | No need for btrfs support (if it is what package does). |
|ipw2100-fw | No need for Intel centrino drivers. |
|ipw2200-fw | No need for Intel PRO/wireless. |
|zd1211-firmware | I think no need for in-kernel26 zd1211rw wireless driver. |
6. Please guide what further can be removed.
Thank you for time.
Update: Del packages are already removed based on learning/thread discussion so far.

Umm, so how do I do to install lib32-libwbclient?
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-libwbclient/
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR
Maybe it wasn't clear from my original post, but I have yaourt installed and I tried to install lib32-libwbclient by running yaourt -S lib32-libwbclient, which resulted in the error message in my original post. I have used yaourt to successfully install packages in the past, such as ttf-ms-fonts and owncloud-client.

[Solved]"yaourt -Syua" no longer lists installed packages.....

When I run:
$ yaourt -Syu
/usr/bin/pacman -Sy
:: Synchronizing package databases...
2012-01-17 12:12:20 (23.4 KB/s) - saved “/var/lib/pacman/sync/archlinuxfr.db.part” [28637/28637])
$
Then run:
$yaourt -Syua
:: Synchronizing package databases...

acpitool: Orphan
clearlooksosx-icon-theme: Orphan
xecjk: Orphan
Foreign packages: \ 103 / 103
$
It no longer shows the installed packages list, just counting in one line "Foreign packages: \ 103 / 103" and exit without updating. Is this normal?

mod action: Moving from Pacman & Package Upgrade Issues to AUR Issues, Discussion & PKGBUILD Requests.

Continue installing packages if there are other errors

Is there a way for pacman and/or yaourt to continue installing the remaining packages if one can't be installed for whatever reason (i.e. like a conflict)? Of course it would skip any other packages that depended on it, but it's annoying if I have a script setup to install packages and it stops midway, even though I'd rather have everything other than the conflicting package installed.

So, package X requires package Y, but package Y can't be installed because some of its files are present in the filesystem (for example). Now, you are suggesting that pacman skip package Y? This doesn't sound too smart.
Packages from [core], [extra] or [community] won't give you installation issues. Packages built from the AUR is a different story, but you shouldn't install them blindly anyways. If the offending package(s) is your own -- fix them.

Script to rebuild all installed packages from ABS

I realize pacbuilder is for that, but it doesn't seem to work properly for me. Skipping a lot of packages etc.
Anyway, I've made this very simple script to just rebuild every installed package from core/extra/community. Sorry for the localized echo output, but I think it's all very simple and straightforward to understand.
Edit:
I've improved it a bit, now it should work flawlessly and remember what stuff it has to finish no matter when you ^C out of it. Also it installs all compiled packages, if you want to avoid that, remove -i switch from makepkg.

Getting this error while opening a folder : This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

Hi,
While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

Hi Nikunj Shah,
First, I suggest you download
Microsoft Safety Scanner or
Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

This is pretty poor if users can't disable this notification without installing a separate, unnecessary program.

You are posting in the "icloud on my mac" forum, but your profile mentions Windows. If using a mac, you need to have iphoto or aperture installed in order to receive new photos via photo stream. If using windows, try posting in the iCloud on a PC forum. You'll get better help there.

I just installed Window 7 professional in place of Windows 7 Ultimate RC to which I subscribed. I was not pleased to do a clean install as opposed to an upgrade and was not informed about it.
When I reinstalled Office 2007, my outlook does not work, although exchange on the web works. I get the following error message:
There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default programs control panel

Louis,
This issue may occur if the Outlook registry key is corrupted. When other programs try to use the Outlook Simple MAPI interface, they cannot retrieve the required information from the registry.
You must first remove the corrupted Outlook registry key, and then perform a Detect and Repair operation to have Outlook rebuild the key. To do this, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit, and then press ENTER.
In Registry Editor, locate the following subkey in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
Select the subkey, and then press DELETE.
Click Yes.
Quit Registry Editor.
Start Outlook.
On the Help menu, click Office Diagnostics.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the repair.
Important: Above section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
322756 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756/ ) How to back up and restore the registry in Windows.
Hope above information helps.
