How to force reinstall of all packages

Hi:
How can I force reinstall of all packages of my system without have physical access to the server?
Can i do this with YUM?
Please help,
Regards
Ricardo

Rather than reinstalling everything how about verifying installed packages to see what changed, which would allow you to isolate a problem - I think.
I have never done it but apparently there is yum-verify. Unfortunately I do not have OEL available right now to test it...
http://linux.die.net/man/1/yum-verify
To verify the binaries that are in a bin directory, use:
yum verify --verify-filenames='*bin/*'
To verify all include files, Eg. for multilib problems, use:
yum verify-all --verify-filenames='/usr/include/*'
Does this work?

How to force reinstall Java

A fue weeks ago I must have somehow deleted java folder from the utilities and now cant get it back. Ive researched this heaps but im getting nowhere. Does anyone no how to reinstall java (and you cant use an update). And there is no native install.
Im running 10.6.6 (latest)
All help would be great
Thanks

Yes indeed and subsequently re-applying Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 would be a good idea, since it made changes to the Java Preferences application, moving it to v13.3

How to force updates on all platforms?

I've noticed in recent months that some new contacts are not being propagated through to my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 5. I've also noticed that some numbers only appear on one device yet the rest of the details for that person are correct on both platforms.
Is there a way to force through these changes or to at least identify which records are different?

[Solved] Forcing pacman to reinstall all packages.

To avoid making myself look any stupider than necessary, I'll try and keep this short.
I ran out of space on my root partition in the middle of a pacman -Syu. This resulted in a lot of non-functioning packages. I have already successfully increased the size of the partition to about four times its old size using the Gparted LiveCD, and miraculously enough, Archlinux still boots, I still have wifi (and thus Internet access), and pacman still works. If pacman upgrades a package, it appears to start functioning again, which is nice. Now the problem.
Essentially, I would like to perform an upgrade on all packages on my system, including the ones that are up to date. This should fix them. Unfortunately, pacman -Syu (or -Syuf) only upgrades packages that appear out of date. I'm aware that I can accomplish this on a package by package basis simply using pacman -S, but I don't know of a way to obtain a list of all installed packages. How might I upgrade all the up to date ones as well?
Also, if anyone asks why my root partition was so small, the answer is some variation on the phrase "I'm an idiot".

So to answer your question, 'pacman -Q' lists installed packages. By the sounds of it, you might want to browse through the pacman manpage (it's good stuff, really!), there are a lot of nifty options you probably don't know about yet.
Also I'm guessing the excuse you're looking for is something like... "i didn't get my tacos that day"
Please feel free to shoot me down in flames if I am wrong won't this mark everything as explicitly installed? Not usre if that would be a problem or not.

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

"Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
They will only be where you put them If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country. You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

How do you reinstall itunes without losing all of your data

I'm losing my mind. My son accidentally disabled his ipad mini (thought it would be cool to put a passcode on it and now he's locked it up because he entered it wrong 6 times). I've tried everything at the link for restoring, but it's not working. It keeps saying my "disk is full" and can't proceed with the recovery/restore. I've deleted as many files as I could from my hard drive on the PC but it still won't work. Then, I tried to upgrade to the newest version of iTunes hoping that might help.....I got the same message halfway through the install that the disc is full. I had to cancel out and now it's telling me iTunes is no longer installed on my PC I need to reinstall.....but I can't because there is no space . What can I do!

Backup your iTunes library - assuming you're using the default setup, this will be the C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes folder and all its subfolders - to an external hard drive. You can use a regular Windows copy operation to do this, though the method described in turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy is preferable. If all of your media (songs, movies, TV shows. ...) is contained within the C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media folder you've replicated your complete library; otherwise you'll separately need to take a copy of whatever other folders your media is in (and make a careful note of where it came from). Once you're 100% certain that you've copied all of this to the external drive, you can take a deep breath and delete the C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes folder to create some more free space on your C: drive - hopefully enough to install iTunes. Just to repeat and emphasize: check and double-check that you've copied your iTunes data to the external drive before you start deleting anything!
Another of tt2's useful documents - Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - describes how to make sure that all the components of a previous installation are removed before you re-install. Given that you're likely to have pieces of iTunes on your C: drive as a result of the aborted re-install it would be appropriate to go through these steps before attempting to re-install the latest (12.1.1.4) version of iTunes.
Since your C: drive is obviously running low on available space it may be appropriate to switch over to having the iTunes software (plus all its configuration/preferences files, backups of iDevices, etc.) on the C: drive but keep your library on the external drive that you just copied it to. The exact setup to achieve this will depend on how your library is currently organized - if, as described above, everything is contained within C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a layout like this:
then this is very simple; if some or all of your media is currently in other locations a few extra steps may be required.

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

- Transfer iTuns purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
- If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

How do i reinstall Firefox and save all my favorites?

I have Firefox as my default browser and Google Search Page as my homepage. However when I click on a new tab, the pesky AVG search page comes up and i can't get rid of it. From what I have read, it looks like reinstalling Firefox is the only way to remedy this. But i want to save my Favorites, especially those on the bookmarks toolbar.
So how can I reinstall and keep my favorites?
Thank you

Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with preferences and rename or delete the prefs.js file and possible numbered prefs-##.js files and a possible user.js file to reset all prefs to the default value.

You can't delete it. Look on all your screens and inside all your folders. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.
