Cannot find a solution that works to import messages from Windows Live.

The instructions given say to go to Tools/Options/Advanced/Maintenance/Stored Folders and there is no tools option in my Windows Live.

Actually, how will running gdm from inittab help with this issue?
And I didn't understand what you meant by "remove agetty from tty2"
You know, I am pretty sure that the issue has to be with xorg. I was having this issue a lot a month ago, but then, a certain upgrade of xorg fixed the issue. I was fine for a few weeks. My computer never crashed. But, unfortunatly, a package in that same upgrade was broken and I ended up upgrading the system again a few weeks ago. xorg also upgraded at the same time. Now, my computer keeps crashing randomly and in random ways.
I think that the best thing to do is to keep up with the xorg updates, find one that works for your system and have pacman ignore all upgrades to xorg after that.
Actually, if anyone can tell me how to downgrade xorg to its state 3 weeks ago, it would be absolutely awesome.
Thanks
Because if you use runlevel 5 you dont have agetty on TTY2 so it won't try and kill xorg all the bloody time
The problem is caused because GDM is starting so fast the XORG server it loads up checks for free VT's and finds TTY2 is empty and starts on it. THEN your inittab fires up agetty on TTY2.. which promptly causes hell to arrive in a handbag.
You really need to be less critical of people offering you advice.. and possibly even check what they have posted in the past.. like the threads from months ago dealing with this issue. (search is great you know)

Random freezes-please, somebody, help me find a solution that works!

I feel a little stupid posting a new thread for what seems to be (at the moment) a rather common issue, but almost every related thread I've come across seems to pin the blame on different things, and I want to consolidate all that I know about what's going on in one place.
On January 5 I reinstalled Arch on the family computer in my house, and for the first few days it seemed to be working OK, but as I was getting everything installed and set up correctly, I started experiencing random freezes. Every package has been up to date since this was a brand new install, and the whole reason I was reinstalling was because the old setup was really messy and on a really old hard drive. The old setup didn't experience any of these issues, however, which rules out hardware issues (the current hard drive was in the system, it just wasn't used for /). The computer passes memtest86+ and mprime stress tests.
First, the problem(s): random lockups. These range from application lockups that still allow mouse movement, but not clicking, with the keyboard remaining accessible, to full X lockups which disable mouse and keyboard functionality. The former have only occurred a handful of times while the latter occur much more often. I don't have an ssh server set up on this computer to know whether it would respond to use that way, but my assumption is that, yes, it would. This seems to be a rather prevalent issue right now, but like I said, a lot of people identify different causes and workarounds/fixes only work for some people.
A few weeks ago I looked around and everything I was finding suggested it was a video driver issue. I was using xf86-video-ati, so I switched to xf86-video-vesa. Things worked fine for about a day (which, for the record, is not uncommon; the problem seems to come and go, as for about a week the computer worked fine and then today I had four lockups in a row) but then it started to hang again. It's not a video issue. It's not a hardware issue. It's either a Gnome/GDM issue or an Xorg issue, a combination of both, or something else that is conflicting with either of those three.
I found this thread about X hanging whenever one presses enter. My issue seems to match the user in this thread (with it's corresponding bug report), because sometimes it hangs when I press enter—but only sometimes. The majority of the crashes, by my estimation, have nothing to do with whether or not I press enter. Often I (or someone else in my house) will simply click something and everything will freeze.
Beyond this I cannot really describe much else. However, here is some additional info which might help diagnose the problem.
From Xorg.0.log.old:
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 3 (Quit). Server aborting
.xsession-errors doesn't seem to contain anything worth noting.
When booting X also launches on tty2 instead of tty7. In the first few days after the install I seem to remember it launching on tty7 initially, but it's possible that my mind is playing tricks on me and this is not the case. If it is I do not know what accounted for the change. /etc/inittab is identical to the file on my personal PC which runs GDM and openbox, but which is experiencing no problems whatsoever, and X opens on tty7 on it (and which is also completely up to date). At post #13 in this thread there is a suggested edit for /etc/gdm/custom.conf, but it does nothing for me; X still opens on tty2.
GDM is the last daemon listed in /etc/rc.conf. I've tried loading the daemons before it backgrounded (with @) and also regularly (without), and neither makes a difference. The freeze often occurs when logging in or switching users, but I must emphasize that for the most part the lockups are completely random.
I am really hoping to find a fix, and the sooner the better, because 6 people regularly use this computer and constant freezes are unacceptable to my mind. I also fear that the exact same error has been occurring on my friends' business computer which I recently updated some packages on, since I've been getting emails about the computer locking up. Of course with that one I could simply downgrade everything I just updated, even though it'd be tedious to do so.

I can't import contacts from windows live to Icloud

Vcard import (.vcf) doesn't work.
However export of Vcards from Icloud to Windows live is possible.

CSV2VCF converter doesn't work...
Finally, I used XLS to VCF converter... 5 by 5, because the freeware was restricted... It was long but OK.
But when I tried to import these VCF files to Icloud ... It didn't work either...
I got the same message as when I tried a direct import.
So... Forget it! I'm fed up with this!
Thank you very much for your help
And sorry for my english...

Importing Photos From Windows Live Photo Gallery To iPhoto '11

##### Note: I've seen a lot of discussion on this topic but nothing recent, so here it goes #####
Hi -
I am about to receive my new iMac (congratulations to me!) and will soon commense transferring >5,000 photos from my PC. I would like these to transfer into iPhoto.
I've used Windows Live Photo Gallery (WLPG) to tag these photos by various means (location, person, event, etc). I've read that WLPG stores this metadata with the .jpg file in XMP, or Extensible Metadata Platform. The result is that the tagging data is with the photo file. The tags are in a few categories:
People
Events
Places
Each of these categories will have a number of tags (example: Events include: "Joe's 5th birthday", "Christmas '12", etc)
I understand that iPhoto supports data if it embedded in the ITPC. Reading a bit about iPhoto, there look to be a number of homes for this data (Events, Keywords, etc).
Ideally, I would love to have these photos transferred into iPhoto with consistent tagging. Does anyone know how I can maintain this data into iPhoto? Can anyone recommend a tool for the conversion?
Thanks!

My Windows pc crashed and I'm thinking about replacing with the Mac Mini. But like you, I have thousands of tagged photos in Windows Live Gallery. Losing the tags is a non-starter. I really don't care too much about "where" the photo was taken, but I do care about "who" is in the photo and what "event" was occurring when the photo was taken. For example, one photo could be tagged with my daughter's name, my son's name, my wife's name, event of Disneyworld, and the date taken should be just embedded in the photo itself. So four tags for the one photo plus the embedded date taken.
If I migrate to iPhoto on the Mac, will I be able to bring all of those individual tags over easily? What was your final experience now that you've been messing with it for a year? And if you are happy, are you able to sort all you photos by just clicking a person's name and a date range and having iPhoto return all photos with that one person within those dates?
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks.

Our firefox crashes as it starts up. Can't find any solutions that work on your website. Have to have firefox for business purposes. Please help!

Hello,
We have used Firefox for years. We have Mac 10.6.8 and Firefox 11.0. It has been working fine until today. I have no idea what could have messed it up. Now every time we try to start it up an error box appears announcing that the application has crashed. My computer has already sent you quite a few error reports. I have to have Firefox for business purposes. Would appreciate help as soon as possible.
Thank you,
Nikol Jones

Please do the following:
Visit www.getfirefox.com in safari, download and install Firefox 17.0.1. Try to open Firefox. If that doesn't work, follow these instructions:
#Open the Finder by clicking the smiley face icon in the dock.
#Navigate to the following directory: ''~ / Library / Application Support / Firefox / Crash reports / submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Click the gear icon in the toolbar (or open the ''View'' menu), then select ''Arrange by'' > ''Creation date'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

I purchased a book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my ipod nano 7. I cannot find an answer that works.

I purchased an audio book from itunes and cannot figure out how to get it on my nano 7. I have tried everything.

Have you double checked to make sure these Audiobooks are configured to sync to your iPod from under the iPod's Books configuration tab in iTunes? This is assuming that the audiobooks are already stored in your iTunes library and appear under the Books category.
To access this configuration tab, plug in your iPod and select it from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes to bring yourself to the iPod's Summary tab. Now locate the Books tab across the top in the main iTunes window and select it. Here you can configure what and how audiobooks are synced to the device.
If you make any changes to this tab, make sure to hit the Apply button on in the lower right hand corner. This will sync the updated changes to your device.

I need a driver for a Canon MP 450 all in one printer to be used with a Mac mini with the Yosemite operating system.

Any suggestions?

I cannot find PDF files that I uploaded to iCloud from my iPad to access on my PC

When I log into iCloud, I do not see iWork or files to access. I backed up PDF files to iCloud but cannot locate them when I log into www.iCloud.com on my PC. Any thoughts on why this is happening and how this problem can be solved?

I use the free DROPBOX application for this.
(1) install dropbox on all machines you are using, including iPad, Mac, PC.
(2) Place all PDFs in Dropbox (it will sync automatically).
(3) On the iPad, open the dropbox application, and locate the PDF you are interested in, and open it.
(4) On the iPad, then choose the "share" button at the top of the screen.
(5) One of the options is to "open in another application."
(6) Choose to open the PDF in iBooks for easy reading.
On the PC and Mac, the PDF is simply opened like any regular PDF file.

Thinkpad yoga - limited connection - intel 7260AC (with solution that worked for me)

limited connection issue
i'm new to the forum, sorry for bad english
i've a brand new rhinkpad yoga, with win 8.1 and intel ac 7260 wifi card
first of all the solution that worked for me is moving from WEP to WPA2 protection with the router
the problem was that i wasn't able to connect to internet using wifi
i got "limited connection" and i wasn't able to access internet at all
windows validated the connection and obtained an ip, but it wasn't then unable to access internet at all, i also wasn't able to access or ping the router.
i also got an error stating the lack of the default gateway, but this one seems to be resolved by windows check and repair procedures
my router had wep protection, and i used it with no issues with 2 android smartphones, an android tablet, a mac and a linux system, and in the past with windows 7 and vista systems.
i've searched for solution all the night and checked everything
- system and driver update (via usb thetering)
- various command to reset network configuration
- unchecking selected check box in energy saving tab inside wireless property panel
but the only one solution that worked was the move from WEP to WPA2
hope this helps
my first post, be patient...

From what I gathered, about the Y2P Limited Wifi issue, this problem is solved by configurating a router to meet the computer needs. Once done, to fully implement this fix, it is adviced that you carry this configured router and use it every where you go, like a power cord. When you go to Statbuck in the monrining, be sure they hook up your router and return it when you leave. Alternitively, this can be done at other venues like the airport, hotel, school, work, etc.
I really don't know why people keep wasteing their time. Lenovo has chimed in and said this is a router issue. That said, the aformentioned advice is a formulated fix. Shall we put an end to thiese topics and get the forum moving again past the wifi issues? Like said many times, this issue has been fixed using the above reccomendation.

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. Recovered folders are opened with no photos and I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Help please!

Every time I open iPhoto a window opens telling me that there are 3 photos that have not been imported. This happens twice. When I answer yes then nothing happens and if I answer no then a recovered folder is opened with no photos in it. These recoverable folders keep opening with no photos in them. I cannot find which photos have not been imported. Can anyone assist please?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

Cannot find a solution that works to import messages from Windows Live.
