GRUB loads but get thrown into rescue shell without any errors

I forgot to read the news before I did an upgrade for the first time in a long time and borked my system because of the filesystem update.
Used to get Arch news by mail with a RSS forwarder, but the service I used shut down and I forgot to sign up for another one.
Used chroot and it seems like I fixed the filesystem and bash packages with all the related symlinks, and I did mkinitcpio -p linux and got no errors.
However when I boot I get directly thrown into GRUB rescue shell without any errors. Tried to reinstall GRUB but didn't change anything.
Read GRUB - GRUB UEFI drops to shell, but I still have a grub.cfg. I believe I just have a pretty standard GRUB2 installation, however I'm not really since it's a long time since I installed it and it was a lot of back and forth because I tried a lot of combinations of GPT/MBR and GRUB/Syslinux since my HP ProBook 6460b laptop has UEFI. If more information is needed about my current GRUB install please do ask, chroot is working just fine.
My system is updated and I'm using systemd.
What should I do to fix my boot/GRUB?
Also, I'm not sure if it's relevant, but when I try to run a Lubuntu LiveCD (same arch as my Arch install) it fallbacks to BusyBox with the error "unable to find a medium containing a live file system".
It's still a fully working TTY so I haven't bothered to research further why. Maybe just a corrupt usb memory drive (setup).

This might be the fix, but I'm not sure what I did that could've changed it. Anyway, I'm tired of having to use time maintaning my system just for a simple update and switching to Debian testing. Learning alot playing around with Arch, but the last half year or so have just felt like a big hazzle with all the (in my opinion) unecessary changes and distancing from it's BSD-like roots and KISS (systemd and all that jazz).

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

Loading an XML file into the table without creating a directory .

Hi,
I wanted to load an XML file into a table column . But I should not create a directory in the server and placing the XML file there and giving the path in the insert query. Can anybody help me here?
Thanks in advance.

You could write a java stored procedure that retrieves the file into a clob. Wrap that in a function call and use it in your insert statement.
This solution require read privileges granted by sys and is therefore only feasible if the top-level directory/directories are known or you get read-access to everything.

How do I get back into my ipod without resetting it? Its disabled and says I have to connect to itunes

How do I get back into my ipod witout reseting it? It says I have to connect to itunes becuase its disabled.

Restore. Note that it could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I have an ipad and forgot the password. I tried to many times and it disabled on me. How do I get back into my ipad without using iTunes and without losing all my saved items.

I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!

If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support

My new Ipad 3 cannot connect to WIFI even it has a full bar of reception. In the same location, my Windows 7 PC and Andorid Smart phone can connect to the same WIFI without any issues. How can I fix it? Without WIFI, the WIFI only IPAD is nearly useless. If it cannot be fixed, can I get a replacement for IPad 2?

Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation. If defective, you'll get a replacement.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

It looks as if my router is running WEP.
Virtually no security at all there, as there are numerous free utilities available on the Internet that will crack a WEP network in seconds. You might as well run the network wide open, since WEP offers about the same level of protection.
You will not be able to configure the Express using an iPhone, iPad, or any version of AirPort Utility that is 6.x or higher with your router set to use WEP "security". They will not work with WEP, since it is so long out of date and non-secure.
An older version of AirPort Utility 5.x might allow you to configure the Express using WEP security, but with no protection anyway, this would be of little value.
See if your router can be configured to use WPA2 Personal security or WPA/WPA2 Personal security. If it can, then you will be able to use an iPhone, iPad, or any version of AirPort Utility to configure the Express in just a few minutes.
If your router cannot be configured to use stronger current WPA settings, now might be a very good time to ask your service provider for a new router.

After using Macs for a number of years at both school and work, I finally ordered an iMac G5 of my own. When the DualDiscs came out I bought a few because I wnated all the content I could get. Attempting to play them on my iMac at work however, proved problematic. The audio side would spin for a few seconds then eject. I was slightly annoyed, but settled for playing the DVD audio versions of the albums as I worked. In my car stereo, the audio would work, but any other player it would not.
When my personal iMac came, I expected the same problem- only the DVD side would play. Imagine my surprise when every DualDisc I attempted to rip (Switchfoot, Bruce Springsteen, Rob Thomas, Ben Folds, The Wallflowers, Oasis, David Gray) in iTunes was read and successfully ripped.
So I wonder this- is it as much a problem with older Superdrives not being able to read the thicker discs as anything else?
Or am I an anomaly

I have a sports kit and want to make sure I am using the most uptodate version
I managed to delete the old version, just in case it was the fact it was about 10 versions out of date that was the problem but now I can't reinstall it at all......
Please help

Go to Microsoft website to fix install and Unistall problems. Click "Run now" from Fix it to remove all iTunes & related installer files:

Load swf-version=17 into swf-version=10 - VerifyError: Error #1014.......

Hi Guys,
I have very interesting situation, and I would like to ask you for any help.
History: I've started the new project for "one" company (my project is small web game). The first and the main requirement for this project was using Stage3D. The company I'm working for, has it's own "SWF-Container" for all projects (about 1000+ small projects). The second requirement was using this "SWF-Container" to load my project inside.
Main Issue: "SWF-Container" can't be changed/modified (a lot of functionality + a lot of project already online). "SWF-Container" wroted using Flex SDK 3.6 ("A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...." ) -swf-version=10. When I'm trying to load the new project ("-swf-version=17") into this old container - I'm receiving the error:
[Fault] exception, information=VerifyError: Error #1014: Class flash.display::Stage3D could not be found.
(and I thing the same will be for all new classes like: JSON, Context3D, etc...)
No errors if I'm opening my project stand-alone.
My ideas/suggestions:
1) Ask for new "SWF-Container" - Failed. No resources to support a few "SWF-Container"s.
2) Ask for change "SWF-Container" to be "-swf-version=17" - Failed. No simple way to change SWF version using Flex SDK 3.6 + a lot of conflicts with current projects (at least global class "JSON").
3) Find some solution with loading the new SWF to the old SWF - in progress. Currently - with no success.
Projects:
I've created two project that simulate my situation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw4xj8VbNvNuZ1gybzFYcEpkLVk/edit?usp=sharing
By using next URL you can find ZIP with two FlashDeveloper projects inside:
a) OldContainer - project that simulate "SWF-Container" (Flex SDK 3.6)
b) NewGame - project that simulate my new project (Flex SDK 4.6).
I will be very grateful for any help in finding a solution for this problem.
With best regards, Vadym.

Hi kglad,
Thank you for good point. But there are no way to change current mehanisms to embed/load "SWF-Container".
Imaging, that "SWF-Container" is not a simple empty SWF, but it's site core, that display in one time a lot of different widgets - small AS3 projects with really different functionality (one of these widgets should be my small game).
Thanks, Vadym.

Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
