Fsck.mode=force stopped working

I'm running linux-3.11.1-1-ARCH x86_64 fully updated. A recent systemd update advised to change the mkinitcpio setup. My hooks now look like this
HOOKS="base systemd autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck resume"
I've run mkinitcpio.conf and rebooted OK. However, I cannot now force fsck to run using a kernel parameter ie fsck.mode=force doesn't cause fsck to run.
I believe that even the normal fsck checking has stopped as dumpe2fs /dev/sda1 now shows
Mount count: 8
Maximum mount count: 5
How do I get the normal fsck checking to work?

Don't know if it's related but in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … al_ramdisk
it says clearly that:
# resume must be placed after block and lvm2, but before filesystems
The current "default" configuration I believe is to have rw in the kernel line and the fsck behaviour is defined in /etc/fstab, see the wiki.
About forcing check I can't tell...
Regards

Mid 2010 27" IMac Target Display Mode has stopped working

I have a 27" mid 2010 IMac, NOT the thunderbolt version, and have been using it in target display mode for my Mac Pro and 2010 Mac Mini with no problems. I have used the Belkin cables, and routinely would switch between internal and external machines using Command-F2. Worked like a champ for about 7 months.
Today, with no obvious change, I cannot get the IMac to enter TDM. This is true whether I use the Mac Mini or the Mac Pro, and is true using either of two Belkin Cables.
I reset the PRAM and NVRAM on the IMac, but this made no difference. I changed keyboards from my Bluetooth IMac keyboard to an Apple USB keyboard. Again, no improvement. I have rebooted the machine without benefit. The IMac seems to function just fine in every other respect.
Since I have no other monitor that supports the mini DisplayPort on the two other machines, I am dead in the water at this point.
The machine is a mid 2010 27" IMac, OSX 10.6.7, 2.93Ghz I7 CPU, 16 Gb RAM, 480Gb SSD and has worked well for quite a few months.
Any help will be appreciated.

When the display only shows the background, it's working in extended desktop mode. That's a logical extension of your desktop to the right of the MBP. Drag an application off the MBP to the right and it will appear on the iMac. When you close the lid of your MBP the iMac becomes the primary monitor in Clamshell mode.
If you want to mirror the MBP to the iMac then press CMD F1, press again for extended desktop mode. These settings are in System Preferences > Display > Arrangement tab.
When the iMac is in Target display mode, you don't use the keyboard on the iMac. Use the keyboard on the MBPro.

Sony camcorder - usb mode - finder stopped working

Hello,
I used to be able to access the stills on my Sony HandyCam HC40 quite easily. I simply plugged in the USB cable and turned on the camera and went to the play/edit mode. Then the camcorder showed up as a disk drive in the finder.
Now I get a message on the camera screen saying USB Mode Unplug before changing settings. No disk drive shows up in the finder.
As far as I can tell there have been no setting changed on the camera and the only difference in the Mac is that I am now at 10.4.10 whereas I was at an earlier version (not sure which) the last time I successfully did this.
does this situation ring a bell for someone?
(Note that firewire - iMovie is still fine, but to get to my stills I need to solve this USB issue.)

Hmmm. Same problem on my wife's ibook running 10.3.
So it seems that blaming 10.4.10 may not be fair.
Comments and ideas welcome.

W520: Optimus stop working after use of "discrete graphics only"

I have issue with Photoshop and Optimus, so I am forced to use discrete graphics only. It is an other story...
Issue is that when I choose discrete graphics everything if fine but when I change back to Optimus mode Discrete stops working. If I set some program to use quadro 1000m in Nvidia menu, it doesn't use it. They all use integrated graphics. I realized the problem when I checked Lenovo Power Management and Nvidia should have been on... It was not.
Problem is gone if I reinstall drivers but it's not nice to do every time. I use latest updates from Lenovo Update and my BIOS is 1.34.
Multiple display setup works while the problem exist, so Nvidia is still working but Optimus does no...
It would be nice if someone could try switching to "Discrete only", load OS, restart with Optimus and check if it can still use Nvidia GPU.
My english is not that good and if there are any difficulties to understand my point PLEASE ASK!
Cheers
Antti

hey Anselmus83,
welcome to the forums.
is the Optimus at version 8.17.12.7593 ? If not, download it here >> http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS013693

[SOLVED] xmonad stopped working properly in mid-session

I recently installed xmonad, and after using it for a few hours, Mod-Spacebar stopped working so I rebooted Arch. After rebooting and using startx, xmonad starts but does not open windows with Mod-Shift-Return and the only command that works is Mod-Shift-Q to quit. My xmonad.hs file looks like this:
import XMonad
main = xmonad defaultConfig
{ terminal = "xterm"
, modMask = mod4Mask
, borderWidth = 3
I have no idea what I changed to make this stop working. If anyone could figure out what's going on, it would be much appreciated. If more information/logs are needed, please let me know. Thanks for your answers in advance!
EDIT: I reinstalled xmonad and rewrote xmonad.hs, and it appears to be working correctly.

I keep getting the message itunes has stopped working I can't even open itunes I have tried uninstalling and installing, starting in safe mode but nothing seems to work. Please can anyone help me

I have recently bought a new laptop with windows 7 and when i have tried to install and open itunes i keep getting the message 'itunes has stopped working' itunes then shuts down before i can do anything to fix it. This happens every time I try to open itunes. I have tried uninstalling itunes and reinstalling it, starting itunes in safe mode. Nothing seems to work. Please can anyone help.

If and when I finally manage to open it, as soon as I click on a movie to watch, the message "itunes has stopped working" comes up.
Try the following user tip with that one:

Firefox plug in container has stopped working, even in safe mode with plug ins disabled

My firefox keeps crashing every 5 - 10 minutes. Sometimes I get a windows error message saying "firefox plugin container stopped working", but most times I don't. These are the actions I've taken so far, with no effect:
1. Updated all my plug-ins
2. Run firefox in safe mode with plug-ins disabled
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox
4. Run an AVG scan which turned up nothing
Can anyone offer advice on how to fix this (very annoying) problem?
I've had to write this in IE because firefox wouldn't stay open long enough for me to copy and paste it into the text box.

IPad stopped working, only recognized by iTunes in DFU Mode

A1459 iPad (4th generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular
A week ago, I was watching Netflix on my iPad. The screen went blue and then the device completely stopped working.
All I can do is put the device in DFU Mode and attempt to restore. I get the same result every time
"The iPad could not be restored. an unknown error occurred (4005)."
I brought it into the Apple store, where they could not provide any information as to why the device stopped working.
I am just curious at this point and trying to figure out what could have caused this. I purchased it 2 years ago, used it on the train commuting to and from the city and for the last year it was used lightly at home for browsing the internet and watching movies.

This is the only support document with information on error 4005. It seems to be a disconnect error, and can happen for any reason. The diagnostics they use at Apple do not always provide the information about why, just that there is a hardware error. Any number of things can go wrong with electronics. I'm sorry I could not be any more specific, but then, neither could Apple.

Firefox has stopped working in Windows 7 but works in Windows safe mode

I am sending this from a different computer on which Firefox works fine. My problem is on a Windows 7 PC -- in the past few days Firefox has stopped working in normal mode but works ok in Windows safe mode. I keep getting a Windows error message that it has stopped working and I will be notified if there is a solution. Of course, I am never notified. I have tried resetting Firefox when in Windows safe mode, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, after having deleted all the program folders and appdate. I've exhausted every possible fix I could find in the Mozilla support forums but I still can's solve the problem. Can you help please?

Firefox used to work on my windows 8 machine, now it does not, even starting in safe mode and after un/reinstalling. message "firefox has stopped working".

Firefox used to work fine, then a few days ago it just stopped. When I try to start it, it comes up with a message that "firefox has stopped working". That message comes up over the box that asks if I want to start in safe mode or reset firefox. when i try to close or cancel that message so I can try starting in safe mode, both sets of messages go away.
if I try to start in safe mode using the shift key, the same thing occurs. The same thing occurred after I uninstalled and reinstalled.

Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

I downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 last week and every time I open the program, I get an error message that reads "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 has stopped working" and it forces me to close the program. How to I resolve this?

Hi Noel,
I'm wondering whether your comment addressed to Lmono was intended for me Tmono.
You ask: "So why didn't you provide the same?"
It just didn't occur to me to do so.
My intent was to report that there was at least one other user encountering a similar problem. It occurred to me that Adobe might be interested in determining the scale of a problem which causes one of their best known products to fail to run quite so completely after a clean install
I also see that I misreported the OS I'm running - its Windows 8.
If there is further information I can provide which might be helpful in determining a solution, if someone could be specific about what would be helpful, then I will try to respond appropriately.
Perhaps the following from the event log:
Faulting application name: Photoshop.exe, version: 15.1.0.148, time stamp: 0x53d97a8f

The X230 has Intel HD 4000 graphics support built in to the processor. Windows was pretty stubborn about refusing driver updates, but I just managed to get drivers from the Intel site to install and Photoshop is now running, so hopefully I need not try your patience any further.
In case anyone else has a similar problem and stumbles on this the way to install the driver that worked was to:
- download the zip version of the generic driver from Intel
- use the 'have disk' option in the windows dialog to install the driver - other paths in the UI did not work with windows refusing to install the driver.

"OutlookSyncClient has stopped working" when Exchange Cached Mode is On.

Hi,
I have an iPhone 3G which originally didn't sync with outlook 2003 in Vista. Sync is being perform via USB. I initially tried reinstalling iTunes, Reset sync history, Syncing with new windows user but could not get it to sync without an error. Vista displays an "OutlookSyncClient has stopped working" error when it tries to sync the calendar. Finally figured out that if you untick "Exchange Cached Mode", it will sucessfully sync with Outlook. However, this is not a workable solution as the computer is a notebook and needs to be able to access their Outlook email while away from the office (and hence needs to be working in Exchange Cached Mode).
After this, I tried rebuilding the Outlook OST file. I also tried deleting the exchange connection and re-adding the exchange connection to the user profile from scratch. I was not able to get it to sync without the error.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem? or anything else to try? The only workaround at this point is to disable cached mode while in the office, sync the phone and then re-enable cached mode after the sync is complete. This is proving to be quite a pain, surely there must be a way to solve this problem!

Well, your tip helped me to not get this error only by acessing the "Info"-Tab as happened before, thank you!
I was really happy, but then starting the synchronisation itself crashed again with the same error...
So I am still clueless... It must have something to do with outlook being used with Exchange. At home, where I use it locally, synchronisation did work...
sigh

HT204154 My macbook with thunderbolt display without power supply stops working on battery mode, is that normal?

I use a 27" Thunderbolt display on my macbook pro. If I disconnect the power supply from the mac, the monitor stops working.
Is that normal or do I have to make some changes on the setup ?
Thanks
+GL

Greetings koningsvaren,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you connect your MacBook Pro to an external Thunderbolt display and everything works as it should while connected to power, but once power is removed from the MacBook Pro, the second display no longer functions. It sounds like you may be using this configuration with your MacBook Pro closed, otherwise known as closed-clamshell mode. In order to use a second display with your Mac portable in closed-clamshell mode, the Mac portable must be connected to power. Please refer to the attached article for more information. If this is not the case, please let me know.

My iphone5 speakers have stopped working. the headphones still work as does the ringer. the phone indicates it is still in headphone mode. does anyone know how to fix this ?

after running i disconnected my iphone headset. since then my iphone speakers have stopped working. i can still listen to music using headphones and the phone ringer still works but the speakers are silent. when i adjust the volume it indicates it is in "headphone" mode. Any idea how i can solve this problem ?

I have read in other threads with similar problems that cleaning the headphone jack/port seems to usually work. The simplest method is to rapidly plug/unplug the headphones a few times. See if that works.

If you do not find a solution in the iPod nano (6th generation) - User Guide, suggest that you call AppleCare if still under warranty or take a trip to your local Apple Store or AASP.
