How come I never heard of "ip"?!

I'm currently studying Novell's "SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 Administration" and the tool "ip" is explained. When I saw its use I thought: hah, just another lame frontend to ifconfig and route written by Novell. But it seems I was horribly wrong, apparently it's the successor to those tools and has been around for quite a while now.
How come I've never seen anyone mention it?! Not on any forum, in any wiki or howto or on IRC! I feel so stupid having learnt something from a SUSE manual. :'(

You are correct in that ip has been around for awhile now and it is supposed to be the "next generation" ifconfig, however ... ip has some shortcomings of its own.
For instance type
ip addr
and compare the results to
ifconfig
or even
ip route
compared to
route
See ... is a more "messy" way to display the same information :? and people tend to stick to what they are familiar with.
I personally, am aware of ip but find no compelling reason to use it over ifconfig
Arch has ip and if you type man ip you will find all the information you may need to use it.
Hope this helps.

I see reponses to others questions or comments but when I write because of a problem or an issue, its NEVER answered or looked at by Verizon, WHY?

I heard someone once talking about the NY app - it's the best selling one in the publisher's line (Conde Nast?), and they deliberately kept it as simple and "untechy" as possible - the closest in their line to the actual print edition. The discussion was on how it was surprising that the magazine with the least amount of "bells and whistles" was their best seller... and a speculation that it was because it was so simple and uncluttered. Perhaps their decision to remove pinch & zoom was related to that idea.

I bought new music on itunes for th first ime in years and the updates erased all my music from my ipod and none of the new music that I bought was downloaded...a bunch of stuff I never heard of is now on my ipod. How do I reload my library?

I went to itunes for the 1st time in years and bought music. The updates removed all the songs on my ipod and did not downlaod my purchases. Instead I have a bunch of songs I never heard of. How do I reload my library on my ipod and get rid of the terrible junk that is on there now?

Was this a different computer/iTunes library than what it you had originally sync the iPod with? If so, that would explain why all of your content that WAS on your iPod was erased, since an iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.
As for your current predicament, you'll need to figure out how your iPod is configured to sync music and then adjust it so that the stuff you don't want on it is removed during the next sync operation and the music you DO want on it will be transferred over to it from iTunes.

Appstore displays updates for 2 applications I have never heard of. How can I get rid of them ?

Hello,
In AppStore (Lion and now Mountain Lion) I see two applications that I have never heard of. When I try to push the update button, I'm prompted to enter the password for two accounts I have never heard of. I tried re-indexing all the disk space available with locate.updatedb and tried to find any reference about any of those two apps without luck.
Please, can anyone tell me what can I do so I don't see them as "requiring update". Or see them at all for that matter ?
Here are some explenatory screenshots to help make my point.

This type of behaviour can be caused by malware. Try running several malware scanners. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam.php Malwarebytes]
* [http://www.superantispyware.com/ SUPERAntiSpyware]
* [http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware]
* [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.mspx Windows Defender]
You may have the "Google re-direct virus", for details on that see http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2010/02/remove-google-redirect-virus.html
If the above malware scanners do not find any malware or can not clear it, you should consider posting in one of these forums for specialized malware removal help:

I have received an email receipt charging me $109.99 for an app I've never heard of and definitely never downloaded. How do I report the problem and get a refund?

Log into your iTunes account, then click on previous purchases then select the purchased app and then click report a problem. Then write and explain your problem and I am sure it will be considered.
Also change your iTunes password as soon as possible.

How come some emails I send never get there and I never know as there is no record of it

How come some emails that I send to not get there. I never know that they haven,t gone because there is no record of me ever having sent them. I now copy myself in and now see at lts of them have not been set as I have never received them. I have a Microsoft outlook account and am very new to using an iPad. I loved it but this feature has really let me down. Help

If the emails were successfully sent, the emails should be in the account's Sent mailbox. If an email cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will be placed on the Outbox mailbox along with an error message provided. The Outbox mailbox is not available unless there is a email that could not be sent.
There is no such thing as a Microsoft Outlook account. Outlook is an email client that can be used to access an Exchange account, IMAP or POP account - no different from the iPad's Mail app.
Who is the email account provider for this email account you are accessing with Outlook and with the iPad's Mail app, and what is the account type - Exchange, IMAP, or POP?

I keep getting a pop-up notifying me that a newer version of Growl is available for download. I've never heard of Growl and I'm unaware if I even need it or use it. Is this a legitimate notification? Did Growl come on my new iMac?

Growl has a long development history, is popular and performs a useful function. Many of your background applications use it send messages to your screen that tell you all kinds of useful things (if you're interested). Some applications ask you if you want them to install Growl for you - you or someone using your Mac may have answered 'yes' a long time ago, or it may have occurred without your permission. In any event, you might set it uyp and give it a try for a while, I think it will grow on you. If not, just remove it.

I just discovered that when I type names in Reminder, Notes or even email there is a voice repeating the names. Any idea how to disable this function? I never heard it before.

Wifi dropping in iMac and apple store geniuses have never heard of it

I started having wifi dropping on my IMac and recently figured out it was due to upgrade to lion through Internet search. So today I went to apple store here in northlake mall in Charlotte nc. Asked one of the geniuses about the issue and how we can fix it. He looked at me like I have no idea what I am talking about. He said he never heard of it. I told him that the problem is discussed all over apple website and he said he goes on all the apple discussion forums and he never heard of the issue. So I showed him this website and people discussing the problem. His face turned red and he told me to just make an appt. bring the computer in. My question is if you don't know what I am talking about then why would I bring the computer in when iMac is so heavy. I am just upset that apple people still don't know about this issue and have no solution for it. Come on apple.

Strange that they didn't know about it... were they just visiting appleisflawless.com?

On line banking for another person, my Mom, who I have power of attorney for heard ppffzzzttt while inputting Mom's sensitive id info in while trying to log in again? I've had the iPad 3/ 4 & 4.5 and never heard this sound before.

I tried to access my Mother's bank for online banking. She has had a slow decline with dementia, I'm Power Of Attorney for her. When not being able to sign in, I heard through the iPad 4 Wi-fi 64 gig, a measured buzz sound, like ppffzzzttt. I've had 3 / 4 & 4.5 and never heard this sound before.
I have had Power of Attorney for my Mom for quite some time. She has been suffering with dementia in a slow then sped up type after her last heart attack. I was the worst candidate for the job but no one else would take it.
I set up banking on line so I could pay her bills. I am disabled and have trouble paying my own. The iPad again filled those shoes perfectly.
I logged on yesterday, and the page said, user name not found. I figured it might have been server maintenance or poor typing but even with all personal details the server would not send my user name.
I became concerned because today I received the Vudu letter that said their headquarters were broken into on March 25th, 2013, and a number of hard drives were stolen with all info they keep on me. They set up an all clear id free of charge for a year, if I wanted to take advantage of it which I did.
The part that bothers me is when I was inputting my Mother's sensitive id information my iPad 4 / Wi-Fi / 64 gig emitted a measured buzz sound 3 times. I have had the 3 / 4 / 4.5 / faster processor but did not go for the 128 gig 4.75, and in all that time I have never heard that sound.
The question, was the bank computer or the FBI probing my iPad 4 and did it place something on it in the memory or damage it in anyway.
I was on the phone for the next three hours with the good, bad and ugly at Citizens. After talking to an acquaintance bank manager who said she saw no problem and did not know why I could not log in. I spent the next three hours on the phone and ended up talking to a nasty tech who said, it was a rule that I could not do my Mother's banking on line anymore. A "rule" prevented me from acting in that manner. It all, from every party sounded so "hinky," Don Johnson, Miami Vice and wondered if there was a rule at all.
I asked him why and what triggered the on line banking system to suddenly boot me? The fact I had set it up about one year ago to date and it has performed flawlessly since that time and a whole year later it flagged the account. He said it could have been anything, pressing the wrong key, etc. I knew he was getting edgy so I ended up getting off the line with him because nothing would be accomplished.
I would appreciate any and all speculations, ideas, or suggestions as I look over banking law, rules, in the next few days. By the way, the money we are talking about is miniscule. A small SS check and an even smaller pension check.
Thank you,
halfcack

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.

How come I never heard of "ip"?!
