AUR helper with download/build only option ?

Hi,
Currently I have a cron job that does this:
pacman -Syuw --noconfirm
This downloads all packages and put it in the cache in the background, this way when a run an upgrade I just have to validate.
I would like to have the same for AUR packages. Is anyone aware of a AUR helper with a "download+build" only option ?

pacaur (which uses cower) supports a -d flag to download only, and a -m flag to download and build. The -d flag will pull down dependencies. I'm quite happy with pacaur+cower as a day to day solution, $0.02.
EDIT: sorry I meant the -m flag pulls down deps -- to do it with the -d flag you have to specify it twice. </bourbon>

Need some help with downloading PDF's from the net.

need some help with downloading PDF's from the net. Each time I try to click on a link from a website, if it takes me to a new screen to view a pdf, it just comes up as a blank black screen? any suggestions?

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Powaur - an AUR helper with a pacman-like interface

Hi guys,
I've just written this minimalistic AUR helper called powaur, with an interface like pacman / yaourt, so
there's no need to learn an addition set of commands. C is the only language I'm really really comfortable
with, so powaur is written in C.
Links
Github - https://github.com/yanhan/powaur
AUR - http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=49296
Updates
24 Jan 2012: - Updated to work with pacman 4 (!!)
10 July 2011: - allow uppercase answers for questions
28 June 2011: - --noconfirm option added
- --list-aur option added; lists installed AUR packages and their version
- only resolve dependencies for new / outdated AUR packages
26 June 2011: - allow installing of packages as root
- add per-user directory in form of /tmp/powaur-username, please comment out
"TmpDir" section of your powaur.conf for this to take effect
- print immediate dependencies for -S
- only print dependency graph for -S when --debug is supplied
10 June 2011: -S supports dependency resolution
-Su available to update outdated AUR packages
--crawl to output topological order of packages
-G --deps uses similar dependency resolution algorithm with -S
31 May 2011: Colorized output is now available!
26 May 2011: Multithreaded downloading is now supported!
Features
Currently, powaur offers the following feature set:
-G, --getpkgbuild Downloads PKGBUILDS of listed packages from the AUR
--deps Resolve dependencies for packages. This is turned off by default.
--threads <N> Limits the maximum number of threads to N (max of 10)
-S, --sync When used alone, installs packages from the AUR without dependency resolution.
--check Only meaningful with -u. Checks for outdated AUR packages without upgrading them
-i, --info Similar to that of pacman
-s, --search Searches the AUR for a single package
-u, --upgrade Updates outdated AUR packages
--vote Used with -s, orders search results by vote count (highest first) instead of alphabetical order
-Q, --query Queries installed packages
-i, --info Similar to that of pacman
-s, --search Similar to that of pacman
--crawl <package(s)> Shows a valid topological order of given packages
-B, --backup [dir] Backup the pacman local database in <dir>, or the current directory if unspecified
-M, --maintainer Searches the AUR for a maintainer
--vote Orders the maintainer's packages by vote count (highest first) instead of alphabetical order
--color Enable colorized output
--nocolor Turn off colorized output
--debug Displays debug information
-h, --help Displays help
-V, --version Displays version
Credits
Many thanks to Dave Reisner (falconindy) for allowing me to use code in cower for json parsing.
I also referred to source code from pacman and git.
Finally
Feature requests are welcome!

Hey there, yanhan. I just switched over from Gentoo to Arch simply for my love of Gnome 3. Maybe when Gentoo jumps on their Gnome support, I'll switch back... but for now, I'm loving Arch.
I downloaded powaur because I like pacman and I wanted to handle the AUR as seamlessly as emerge handles its overlays. I've got a super newb question for you, though, as per I don't quite know pacman's in's and out's yet.
So, as I'd like the 64-bit flash binary. I go about doing this as root:
[root@laptop patrick]# powaur -S flashplugin-prerelease

Help with conditional build expressions

I'm using RoboHelp HTML and creating WebHelp Pro layouts. I
want to create five (or more) different versions of the Help tool
for our various groups of users.
Here's what I'd like to do: Create a conditional build tag
for each of the versions (i.e. each of our groups of users). I
could name them as follows:
group1
group2
group3
group4
group5
Then, I would associate each topic with one or more of the
build tags. For example, topic1 may be for group1 and group2;
topic2 may be for group1 and group4. Etc.
The problem is thus: When I want to create the version for,
say, group1, my expression ends up excluding the other groups. In
the end, this omits any topics associated with group1 that are also
associated with the other build tags (i.e. the other groups).
Is there an expression I can use to prevent these topics from
being omitted? Perhaps the use of parentheses?
The only solution I've used is tedious: I create many build
tags--one for each variation. For example, I'd have a
group1group2group3 build tag, a group1group3 build tag, a
group1group4 build tag, etc. Then, I just associate one build tag
with each topic. When I'm creating a version for group1, for
example, I'd just include all topics with a build tag that includes
group1 (e.g. group1, group1group3, group1group2group3, et. al.). I
omit the others (e.g. group2group3, group2group4,
group2group3group4group5...et. al.).
As you can imagine, this solution is problematic. First, I
have to create and keep track of many many build tags. Then, if I
want to create another version of Help, I need to change all the
build tags to include this new group.
I'm sure there must be a better build tag expression for what
I'm trying to accomplish. Please help! Thanks!

There is indeed an expression! Unfortunately, the option is
normally hidden, so it can be tricky to find. Here's what you do:
1. Define the build tags.
2. Apply them to your topics. OVERLAPPING IS ENCOURAGED! That
is to say, you can assign tag1, tag2, and tag3 to a single topic.
3. Right-click the desired layout and select Properties.
4. Click the Define button to the right of the Conditional
Build Tag drop-down menu. The Define Conditional Build Tag
Expression dialog will appear.
5. Click the Advanced button. The Advanced area will appear
at the bottom of the dialog.
6. Select a tag from the Available Conditional Build Tags
drop-down menu.
7. Click the Add Tag button. The selected tag will appear in
the Conditional Build Tag Expression display window.
8. Click the AND button.
9. Select another tag from the drop-down menu.
10. Click the Add Tag button.
11. Repeat steps 8-10 for each tag you wish to add to the
expression.
12. Click the OK button to close the dialog.
13. Click the Save button to save your layout with the new
build expression.
That's it! The trick is to use the ADVANCED button in the
Define Conditional Build Tag Expression dialog. Doing so allows you
to build inclusional expressions rather than exclusional
expressions, so you can avoid the hassle you described in your
post. Using this method, I defined two build tags (A and B) and
applied them to three topics as follows:
* Topic 1: Tag A
* Topic 2: Tag B
* Topic 3: Tags A and B
I then defined an expression that simply included tag A. When
I compiled my help, topics 1 and 3 appeared in the output, but
topic 2 did not.

Need help with download problems on Ipod-5th Generation

Hello everyone. Another newbie here who is not technologically inclined but love their Ipod. I just purchased new music videos from the Itunes store, connected my Ipod to the PC and left everything alone until I saw the update complete prompt. However, I am now in a panic because not only did it not sync my new purchases but...all of my previously purchased TV shows, music videos, etc are no longer on my Ipod. I did not request nor click to have anything erased. What can I do to restore my complete library of tunes, videos, tv shows, as I have spent a lot of money on my purchases for this Ipod?
Also, while I'm asking for help: do any of you have problems with downloads timing out before the downloads from the Itunes Store are complete? I purchased several music videos during downloads that said there was an error due to download timeouts; not only did the items never show up in my library but never synced to my Ipod. There were error codes assigned to these videos but...who do I do when this happens? Thanks in advance.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Printing with Black Cartridge Only option grayed out: Officejet 6000

Trying to print a black and white photo in gray scale using only the black ink cartridge, unfortunately that option is grayed out. Is there some setting that has to be chosen first before black cartridge only option becomes available?
I feel like I've tried just about every combination, but maybe I'm missing some minuscule, unintuitive step.
Thanks

Nope, its not a bug. When you choose borderless the print region actually becomes bigger than the page to make sure there are no white gaps. The ink that does not make it to the page is caught in a trough filled with foam just below the print zone.
The color ink is a dye ink (like food coloring). The black ink is a pigment ink - like carbon dust suspended in water. When it is over-sprayed in the trough it piles up until the pile of pigment starts dragging and smearing on the back of every subsequent page! Not good, so we do not allow the black cartridge to print when set to borderless.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Need Help With Download For Airport Express

Ok, computer dummy here needing help with airport express. We were given airport express last night from a friend who recently purchased a newer gadget. He told us we would need to come here to download the operating system. I see lots of links to updates but no links for someone like me who has never had anything like this on my computer before. Does anyone know what link I would need to use? We have a pc with windows XP. Thanks so much for your help!

Hello jesschambers. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) doesn't have an "operating system" per se, but it does have built-in firmware which pretty much is the same thing. In addition, in order to administer the AX, you will need the AirPort Admin Utility for your Windows PC.
Here are the links for the latest versions of both:
o AirPort Express Firmware Update 6.3 for Windows
o AirPort 4.2 for Windows

TS1538 when trying to sync with itunes my only option is restore

when I try to get my music onto my iphone 4s the only option I get in itunes is restore. I was able to transfer everything else.....any ideas?

This problem is quite common, but I have not been able to figure out what causes it. My best bet is that it's a USB issue, and I have found a workaround that makes synchronising possible when all else fails. For the record, I have tried all of the potential solutions on these forums without lasting success. Here's what worked for me.
(Windows 7 32bit, iPhone 4S, iTunes 10.6.1.7)
First of all, make sure you have a good wi-fi signal in the region of the PC you are syncing with. Then -
1) Start iTunes.
2) Connect phone via USB.
3) Left click on phone in iTunes.
4) On the Summary page check "Sync with this phone over Wi Fi"
5) On the phone go to Settings>General>iTunes wi-fi sync
6) Tap on Sync now.
The phone should sync via wi-fi, even though it is connected via USB. It didn't seem any slower to me than syncing via the cable, and more importantly it worked, and the backup went smoothly. I've tried it several times now with no problems.
Also, if you have a lot of apps you need to synchronise or you are re-arranging the app windows using iTunes you can sync in the normal way from the PC if you do it immediately after the wi-fi sync, because iTunes does not run the backup again. It probably won't run two backups within a few minutes of one another.
It's all a bit of a fiddle, and Apple/MS needs to get a fix for it, but if this method works for you at least you have a good backup should you flush your phone down the toilet!
Good luck!

Help with downloading and reinstalling

Will someone please help me download and reinstall Adobe Photoshop Elements 7? I have a new computer and have lost a ton of photos which are supposed to be in Adobe Revel.

if you don't have your installation media/files and use windows and if you follow all 7 steps, you can dl a trial via one of the links on this page: http://prodesigntools.com/direct-download-links-for-lightroom-3-and-photoshop-elements-8.h tml/comment-page-1#comment-2174
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a dl problem, you didn't follow all 7 steps. typically, failure to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 is the problem.

FAQ: Where can I get help with downloading and installation?

See this page for options for contacting Adobe regarding problems with downloading and installation:
"Contact support - download and installation"
You can ask questions and search for answers on the Adobe user-to-user forum dedicated to downloading, installation, and setup.
You can also check the Customer Service FAQ lists for issues with downloading and installation.
You can order Premiere Pro CS6 here ... or try it free for 30 days.

Hello,
This kind of question is best asked in the Windows Forums, however I've had some succession with a similar issue myself.
Non-Genuine Windows means that it can't authenticate your copy of Windows.
It's not a problem, all your need is a genuine product key code. Provided you don't have different version of Windows 7 installed to the one you are buying (for example windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 business) Then you can use the new key code.
Click on the Start Button and type: CMD (into the 'Search programs and files' field in the Start Menu)
The Start Menu will show 'CMD.exe',
Right-click the CMD.exe file and select Run As Administrator.
In the CMD window, type: slmgr.vbs -ipk <type your product key here>
To activate windows after changing the key, type: slmgr.vbs -ato
It should now accept the new key code and you will need to be connected to the Internet to authenticate.
If by chance the windows 7 types are different (One is Home premium say and the other is Business) then you will need to uninstall that copy of Windows 7 and install the new one. If your using BootCamp then you will need to go into BootCamp under system preferences and remove that copy of Windows (delete it)
Then create a new setup with your new Windows 7 disk.
For me I had the same type of windows, changing the product code worked. Saved me the bother of having to reinstall Windows again and it was all genuine.
Best of luck
