Because of shaman I can't update pacman?
Do I have to unintstall shaman so # pacman -Syu can work?

No hurry, I'll wait a few days and try again.
Thank you

My itouch will not back up in itunes so I can not run updates

When I connect my iotouch and try to run a back up before updating it runs forever and will not backup. I can transfer purchases and was able to sync apps but I can not run update because I can not back up.

Hopefully you aren't doing this with a PC running Windows 2000 since 2000 is not supported.
Try deleting the existing backup and manually creating a new backup.
Go to iTunes > Preferences and under the Devices tab, select and delete the existing backup.
Then right-click on your iPod Touch under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up to create a new backup.

Can't run updates on computer?

I had a volume that could not be repaired on my HD, so I did an archive and install of OSX. I fixed the majority of my problems, but now I can't look for updates on my computer, Safari won't run, Itunes won't run, can't install the 10.4 upgrade from the install disk.
How do I go about re-installing these items?

Kitty:
Safari may not work after an Archive and Install explains your difficulty.
Now, how do you download those updates? I don't suppose you have any other browser like Firefox or Camino on your computer, do you? If you don't you have the option mentioned in the article I linked earlier, i.e. installing a later version OS. Otherwise you can either get a friend to download one of those browsers and install it, or go to the Apple Store and ask them to download it for you and burn it to disk.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.
Good luck.

Won't save login info and can't run updater

Help! Dreamweaver 8 won't save the username and password for
my sites and when I tried to run the 8.0.2 updater to resolve the
issue, it says, "The contents of this file cannot be unpaced. The
executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please
obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try
again."
I've downloaded the file several times from adobe with the
same results - help!

Can't run updater 8.0.2 on Dreamweaver CS3 install

I have that FTP user name and password problem where it's
lost every time you re-start the program. Reading this forum I
found that I needed to use the updater 8.0.2. That downloaded fine
and when I tried to run it I got the following message:
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows
installer service because the program to be upgraded may be
missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the
program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your
computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch.
I double checked I downloaded the English version of 8.0.2
and I have the English version
My disk is an upgrade disk which I've also had in the drive
during the update.
I tried totally uninstalling dreamweaver and then installing
and doing the update again.
Regardless I get this error, I also get the error with 8.0.1
updater
Any suggestions?

Your subject line says you're trying to run this on DW CS3.
It's already
built in to CS3. The 8.02 updater was for DW 8.

Error message: can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not

second request
an auto update failed a few days ago and now everytime I open FF I get an error message that says can't install update, firefox is already running, but it is not!
the parent.lock file is not open when FF is closed
in addition to this message, a box opens asking looking for a file
Help!

hi
I had the same problem (update failed for normal user, update worked for administrator, but then normal user still got asked about installing the update even though it was already done).
Following the advice on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_update#Software_Update_not_working_properly worked for me, in particular to remove the update-related xml files.
good luck

Highly unlikely that it says any such thing.
Try telling us exactly what version of iTunes is installed and what if any messages appears when trying to update it.
What Operating System is the computer running?

HT201263 My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?

Can Apple tell me why my iPad 1 is obsolete?

It's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology.

Hi, I have got three ipad minis which I would like to use in a business environment whereby the users can see and update a single calender. Is this possible? Would they have to be run form one account?

Hello...
I am having the exact same problem this person was having, except that I wasn't able to repair permissions. When I attempt to do this, I get this message:
The underlying task reported failure on exit.
Does this mean that I have to do an Archive and Install? In which case, would you mind walking me through that process? <:)
I really have no idea why this is occurring, as well..if you could explain that to me, I'd be very grateful.

I can not get any updates and therefor not use Java as it only run updates for Mac 10.7. and later? How do i get the updates to install and use Java?

I can not get ny updates and therefore not use Java, as it only run updates for MAC 10.7. and later. How do i get the updates to install and use JAVA ?

In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
java -version
(don't get creative and type anything else)
The latest version is 1.6.0_65.

Since upgrading to 10.7.3 and iPhoto 11, I am encountering problems I never had before. Can't run slide show or make a book; in email, can't put in new signature. Any help out there. I have also downloaded the 9.2.3 update for the iPhoto.

Can't run slideshow in iPhoto. Updated to iPhoto 11 and that is when the problem started. Upgraded to 10.7.3 and now can not edit my email signatures. I have also downloaded 9.2.3 for iPhoto. I have always updated when new software was found. This new 10.7.3 is terrible. Can I go back????

Why do you think iPhoto affects your ability to edit Mail sigs? What happens when you try to run a slideshow? Have you tried re-applying the .7.3 update? Repairing permissions?

My Ipod Shuffle requires Itunes 10 but with my Mac OS 10.4.11 I can not run itunes 10. Is there another way to load this ipod shuffle without updating to Snow Leapord?

Sorry Glen, but there is not. And you don't have to upgrade to 10.6 (Snow Leopard). You need at a minimum of 10.5.8 (Leopard).
