Filesystem ID change upon upgrade (e2fsck solves)

Upgraded system with pacman -Syu and installed only one package...qt
Unable to boot after that package installed.
Perhaps there is more required than just ...qt
If so, those packages did not appear in the download menu.
Thus, I assume I need to change mirrors and re-perform ..pacman-Syu.....
Will report the result..........
The filesystem ID is supposed to be ext3 but dmesg | tail reports fail for ext4! Weird!
EDIT: Unable to mount the partition and it is not recognized in blkid so I cannot access the system to repair it
sh-4.2# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/md
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
sh-4.2# dmesg | tail
[ 37.591502] EXT4-fs (sda2): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
[ 37.626956] EXT4-fs (sda2): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem

[ 513.250221] EXT4-fs (sda2): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem
sh-4.2#
EDIT: Performed pacman -Syu on main HDD and received new linux kernel packages along with qt. Rebooted that after install with no problem.
I conclude that the download to my CF card system was erroneous in that the linux packages were not included. Therefore, I have no idea how I can determine that a given download from a mirror is not complete since I trust pacman to be properly setup to upgrade all necessary packages upon the use of pacman -Syu. Since only one package was included, I assumed that was all to be involved.....wrong!
Any way to fix ? Cannot ID the drive for mounting. What can I do at rootfs prompt without any ID?
Can I setup a new blkid? How to ID the partition? I have a label on it....
EDIT: Corrected the problem by running e2fsck on the partition from my HDD arch boot-up.
Chrooted into the CF card system and finished the upgrade to the latest kernel.
This is the first time that pacman did not perform a complete upgrade on my machine.

You might also encounter this problem if your root partition runs out of space during an upgrade. The new pacman 4 has a CheckSpace option to prevent this. Moving your pacman package cache into your home partition could help avoid this in the future also. See this post and scroll down to where it says "The Final Working Solution" to see how to move your pacman cache into your home partition to be safe.

Stuck upon upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard on MacBook pro

Hey Guys,
I'm experiencing some software issues upon upgrading, anyways I bought a Mac OSX snow leopard disk from the apple store today and wanted to upgrade from leopard, so i made a purchase. I read all of the instructions and inserted the disk, after a few minutes into the installation process, it prompted to restart and continue installation after restart. Once the macbook restarted, it booted up showing only the apple logo. I gave it a couple of minutes (20-30 minutes), yet same thing. Nothing appeared other than the gray apple logo and white background, no spiral w.e thats usually under the logo when installing or something. I've attempted it twice already but still no sign, i get the same results. Restarted my computer, took out the disk and booted back up, then retried the process once again, do any of you guys know a solution? Anyways i'm running on a MacBook pro i5, last years model.

Upgrading will not solve software issues. Fix the software issues first by isolating their cause. Is your data backed up?

There's an error in my flash program upon upgrading from CS3 to CS4

First, i'm using AS3.
I cannot divulge too much, but i have a multiscene, fairly complex flash program that runs fine in CS3. Upon upgrading to Flash CS4 - i can open the file and edit it any which way, but when testing it (ctrl+enter) i get an error in the output window (1009) and a blank test window, as if it doesn't want to start.
Why?
i can only provide few specifics if needed. thanks.

There were changes in CS4 that could in some cases let you get away with things that you couldn't in CS3, mostly to do with going to a frame and trying to do something to an object that now exists on that frame. Error 1009 is what happens if you try to use something that isn't there yet. I guess it's possible that because CS4 is better at using objects at the new frame, that it may have triggered a problem that CS3 wouldn't have triggered.
In any case, first thing you could try is updating to the recent 10.0.2. That fixed a lot of issues, and may improve things for you:

I tried upgrading permissions but it did not help!? Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thanks

Try
Reboot the computer, see if that fixes it.
Then try:
Backup your files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk and simply reinstalling OS X
Log in and update to 10.6.8
c boot off the 10.6 disk again and use Disk Utility >Repair Disk
reboot and all should be fine, except some third party programs that install kext files, those will have to be reinstalled from fresh sources.

When creating a new window in safari, using command T, the marker have not activated the search field. It means you have to click there every time. Changed after upgrading to Mavericks. Anyone knows how to change this?

Yes, you can do something like that. What you would do is create a button for each image and then hide them. When I do this type of thing I place all of the buttons on a template page and then hide the template.
You can then use JavaScript to copy the icon from any of the hidden buttons to the main button that you've set up to display the image. For example, suppose you set up 10 buttons named b1, b2, b3, ...b10. The code to copy the icon from one of them to the button used to display the image (b0) would be something like this:
// Get the icon from the b3 button
var oIcon = getField("b3").buttonGetIcon();
// Get reference to the b0 button
var f = getField("b0");
// Set the icon of the b0 button to the icon retrieved from the hidden button
f.buttonSetIcon(oIcon);
// Show the b0 button
f.display = display.visible;
This code would go in the Mouse Up event of the smaller button.

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Iphoto is now broken. Upon upgrade receiving error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

I just upgraded to Yosemite. Iphoto is now broken. Upon upgrade receiving error "This update is not available for this Apple ID either because it was bought by a different user or the item was refunded or cancelled."

Perform the following, stopping with the first one which works:
1. Open the Mac App Store's Purchases tab. If you're prompted to accept iPhoto into your Apple ID, do so.
2. Move it out of the Applications folder(it may need to be put into the Trash temporarily), and then see if you can download it for free from its individual product page.
3. Click here and contact Apple.

Cannot publish site changes since upgrading to 10.7. Suggestions?

I cannot publish site changes since upgrading to 10.7. Suggestions?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
Or you can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain. Run it to open your site and see if you can publish. If that doesn't help try the following:
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.

Adobe Illustrator preview icons changed since upgrade to Snow Leopard

all of my Illustrator files preview icons have changed since upgrading to snow leopard. They use to have the Ai logo. Now they have what looks like the Postscript icon.
I believe preview icons are controlled by the OS so not sure what to do. Have done all of the usual run disk permissions etc.

Illustrator CS4 is installed on my computer and works fine. Double clicking the file will launch or open in Illustrator. It's only the preview that is wrong and a bit of a nuisance if I am looking for an illustrator file

Name of documents in iBooks are changed since upgrade iOS 8.0

AAll names of my documents are changed since upgrade iOS 8.

A better solution. This worked for me and several others, from a post from MrsMike921 in the following thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/26725105#26725105
go to your settings, and first go to Safari and delete your history by scrolling down to "clear history and website data". Then go to the advanced settings and select ""website data". It should show 0 bytes. If not, clear again.
next go to iTunes and App Store in settings, and touch your Apple ID, the select sign out.
AFter you you sign out of your ID, restart your iPad by holding down the power button and home key simultaneously until you see the apple logo after the restart.
when you are powered up, go to iBooks. You should get a message that you need to sign in to sync up your books. Sign in, and that should do it.

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open?

Upon upgrading to Yosemite, the Pages and Numbers apps will not open (although they are the latest versions) and Keynote will not upgrade; how do I go about getting the apps to open? Is this a common issue?

Hi Madhattanite,
Welcome to the Support Communities! When did you purchase your Mac? The first thing I would suggest is to review the information in the resource below for the Up-To-Date Program for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
Once Yosemite is installed, you should have the option to Accept the Pages, Numbers and Keynote apps in the Mac App Store Purchases pane.

I hope this helps ...

Continue having the SIM error.This started when I downloaded the last software upgrade to improve battery life. Please create a new upgrade to solve this!

SInce three weeks ago, exactly when I downloaded the new software upgrade to solve the battery short duration, I started to have problems with my iphone, every morning appears a SIM error and I have to reset the device to get internet signal. And then I have to do teh same every 3-4 hours because the sim error appears again! I brouth the device to my phone company ( telcel) but they cannot do nothing to fix this. They told that Apple know about this, because it is happening to many people. So, we all are waiting a new upgrade SOON PLEASE!!!

Hola Salvador, presento el mismo problema con la tarjeta SIM, cada mañana aparece el aviso y en ocasiones por las tardes, es un verdadero dolor de cabeza. ¿Qué fue lo que hiciste en telcel?
Pienso ir el viernes a ver qué solución me dan. Gracias. Espero tu respuesta.

News order in News Iviews changes upon refresh

Hi guys,
I've recently installed SP12 into my EP7 and I notice that the order (last created/modified should appear at the top) of my news in the news iview changes upon refreshing the iview.
I've checked in the Content Management and see that the news which are displayed in the iview are also modified by me (which I've only displayed) within the same timestamp.
Does anyone experience the same?

Ok I found out a solution by changing the layout set (collection renderer), so that the news are sorted via "created" and not "modified".
If there are anyone who have the same issue, let me know and I will be glad to help.

Livefonts, and other Livetype Media lost upon upgrade

After upgrade from FCP 4 to 5, my LT went from 1 to 2. The Livefonts, texture, etc were lost upon upgrade. It appears as though they are not being read in the Live Type Data folder. Maybe because the LT 1 data and LT 2 data are different? Anyways, I tried going into the preferences and adding the location of the Live Type Data, but it still did not read it.
I tried reinstalling the FCP 4 software I have, but Livetype still registers as LT 2, not 1 and FCP stays at v.5. I checked the fonts in font book and did not find any questionmarks to indicate a faulty font. I spent all day trying to resolve this issue. Any suggestions?

It's bee two years since I did that upgrade, I cannot remember any of the details, sorry.
What does Spotlight give you if you search for recently installed big folders? The LT data folder is large and should be easy to find. If it can't be found, you may not have actually installed it.
You can search for some relevant threads or wait a few more days for some reliable help.
