GRUB wont load
Hi, I've installed Windows 7 today and I discovered that grub wasn't working, so I performed a reinstall of archlinux and grub, but nothing happens after that the installation completes. For the moment i'm using a ubuntu livecd. I wanted to se if there was wrong with the grub file, but nothing there
As you can see i have not even made windows 7 active. But grub wont show up and windows 7 boots up instead of grub.

Sounds to me like you didn't install GRUB to the MBR of the drive. Mardoct is right, it'll be hda or sda, depending on the type of drive you have and saying that that's the drive you're installing on.

GRUB wont load arch, no idea what to do
A fresh install following this tutorial:http://wideaperture.net/blog/?p=3851 and the page for GRUB, i installed arch on my system. however, when iboot, it takes me to the GRUB cmd line thing.
for me /mnt is /dev/sda3, so i type
set root=(hd0,3)
chainloader +1
At this point i get an invalid signature error.
/boot is on /dev/sda1 though so i can boot (hd0,1) with no issues, but its just another cmd line.
I have tried practically everyhing to get this working, some solutions talk of a kernel26.img and vmlinuz but i dont have those in my /boot?

You should use the Arch documentation: random blog posts are typically either out-of-date or full of errors (or both)...
Why are you pointing grub at sda3 if that is /mnt?
Please provide more details about your setup (lsblk) and your grub config. Chroot in from a live environment and paste the details if necessary.
I am pointing to sda because on the wiki it points to sda.
Well, you have to amend the wiki instructions to suit your particular setup, not just copy/paste and hope...
Considering the cpmmands are practically the same between the blog and wiki installation guide, i dont see how its the guide thst ismfucked up.
How will inget the results from my arch to here?
It is just some advice; if you want to follow the blog post, you are free to do so, just don't expect much sympathy here.
Chroot instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Chroot
Yeah, I am chrooted into my installation, but how do I get the results back? I still havent installed a gui yet (I installed the base packages for cinnamon but no luck setting that up)
Tbh I think he problem is with how I set up GRUB.
I had to use --force when using grub-install because of the error it says there, but that is the only change I made. -

Suddenly itunes stopped loading. I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it but it wont load saying the Java sript core.dll is not valid. What do i do to fix this? And will i be able to get my downloads back?
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. Head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (Although the procedure is for Vista and 7 and you've got XP, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

If I have more then a few tabs open such as gmail, facebook, and a zynga game no tabs will load at all. I close and reopen firefox numorous (Im talking 7 or 8 times or many more) and shut down the zynga game and still it wont load the tabs or if it does and I then try to add the game or any other site at all on a tab it causes firefox to stop working (though not close) and I have to restart opening and closing it many times to get it to work at all.
1st, you will not be able to activate your PPro1.5 on ANY new computer, see next link for the special version you MUST use

2nd, you already mentioned Virtual XP, so if a direct install doesn't work, that would be the way to go... or, to just do what SHOULD work from the start, just do Virtual XP -
during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #
In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
@TJBUSMC1973-
I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right???? -
Safari and other browsers slow to load and wont load https (secure)
Since the last update of Safari 5, we have noticed that we can't load https pages. So we went to Firefox, that seemed to help for awhile. Now we can't always load https in either. We are also seeing that http pages wont load quickly in either browerser. We have researched all posts within the last month about Safari 5 and hang ups, crashes and slow loading....we have tried everything suggested. Since sites don't load quickly, this has taken a lot of time. Any suggestions would be wonderful. We have contacted our DSL provider 6 times in the last 30 days and they can't find anything wrong with their service or with the modem. We are at a loss. Currently we are trying to download the MocOSXUpdCombo 10.6.4 but we keep timing out. Don't even know if this post will post. Oh yeah, Mail is having problems as well. We ran disk first aid and did the permissions as well. Any suggestions would be wonderful.
Hi again:
I am a long way from an expert on anything - SSL or communications. The fact that both browsers are affected seems to take it out of a Safari-only thing. Also, since everything works on your other computer seems to let your ISP off the hook. I don't think it is your computer, per se.
I did get some random thoughts. Things you might look at/try:
1. Reset Safari (empty the cache, for sure)
2. Take a look at the firewall settings on the computer that is giving you problems.
3. You might try Open DNS (free one) to see if the domain name server process is, somehow, an issue:
http://www.opendns.com/start/
4. You might also download the OS X 10.6.4 combo updater and reapply it. That is probably an overkill and it will take awhile, but it is possible something went wrong with the update.
You can see I am fishing, but nothing seems to be consistent in the behavior.

Safari wont load some sites but will open others
Hi
Since yesterday morning, my mac will all of a sudden not load certain websites while others load fine. For example some that wont load are google, gmail, commonwealth bank, about.com, but facebook and a number of others still load. I get the "Safari can't connect to the server" error page. Same thing in firefox.
I have an ADSL modem (netgear) connected to my mac running 10.6, via ethernet. My modem is not a router. I share my macs internet connection via airport, and i can still access everything fine on my iphone and ipad which tells me its something specific to my mac.
I havent changed any settings so I have no idea why my internet is suddenly so selective of what it will access.
I tried flushing the DNS and changing the MAC access in the terminal with no result.
Any idea? Its driving me insane :-/Brian --

One day, my ipad and iphone pick up my emails (.mac account) from icloud just fine. the next day, I recieved error messages that say my user name and password are not accurate. I removed the icloud program on both devices and added it back on to both devices and get the same message. I logged into icloud from my Mac and while I can log in, it times out when I select email and wont load the email there either. Any Suggestons?
I am having the same problem; it started about 24-36 hours ago.
I know my ID/PW combo are correct because I can access all other aspects of iCloud except mail.
iPhone -- returns incorrect ID / Password
iPad -- Same
Mail.app on Mac -- returns incorrect password error
icloud.com -- allows me to log in and use all functions accept mail. When I try to use mail it stays on a white screen for about 60 seconds then returns a dialogue box that indicates a server error.
I contacted Apple and they placed my iCloud account into something called "Troubleshooting" mode. They generated a new strong password and sent it on to "Engineering."
I suspect there are a small number ofo users like you who are affected with the same problem I am. Too small a number for it to be reported as an outtage. I suggest you call Apple and open a case to have your mail investigaged.
Hope this helps... -
