I can't get BOINC to work.
Hello,
following the poor explained steps at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/BOINC I undestand that what I must do is this:
1º - I install BOINC with
[josealb77@ArchLinux ~]$ sudo pacman -S boinc
[sudo] password for josealb77:

>>> Client RPC password can be found in /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg
>>> (this file is generated after first run of /etc/rc.d/boinc start).
>>> Remove it from gui_rpc_auth.cfg if you do not want to use password.
>>> See more details on the Arch Linux BOINC wiki page.
2º - Execute the service in order it to create the /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg file with the command:
$ sudo systemctl start boinc.service
And check the file is created.
3º - I stop the service with:
$ sudo systemctl stop boinc.service
and remove the /var/lib/boinc/gui_rpc_auth.cfg file in order to not having to use password between boincmgr and the boinc service (as the pacman installation command output says).
3º - I start again the service and check it:
[josealb77@ArchLinux ~]$ sudo systemctl start boinc.service
[sudo] password for josealb77:
[josealb77@ArchLinux ~]$ sudo systemctl status boinc.service

01-Mar-2014 14:20:25 gstate.init() failed
Error Code: -180
5º - Execute boincmgr and I get the BOINC Manager window with the message "Can't connect to the core client" (In spanish: "No se puede conectar al cliente núcleo") and these two lines in the terminal output:
[josealb77@ArchLinux ~]$ boincmgr
execvp(/home/josealb77/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2!
execvp(/home/josealb77/boinc, --redirectio, --launched_by_manager) failed with error 2!
I close the boincmgr window from the tray icon confirming the typical warning message, but I have to close the program in the terminal with Ctrl+C.
I've searched "Error Code: -180" and here http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/index.php … &viewCat=3 indicates it's GUI RPC bind failed.
I've searched "GUI RPC bind to port 31416 failed: 98" and I've found an old ArchLinux BOINC bug report supposedly solved (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/18194) in which the reporter says that "is necessary add port 31416 to /etc/rpc otherwise receive error: [error] GUI RPC bind to port 31416 failed: 98" But related to this happens 2 things:
1st: I don't know in which format do I have to modify the /etc/rpc file in order to add the 31416 port. I'm sorry for my ignorance.
2nd: I don't think that any user who installs BOINC had to modify manually any system configuration file, so it must be a BOINC or Archlinux BOINC package bug; or an installation process error. Otherwise it would appear in the wiki. The gui should conect with the client without configuring anything (I already think that configuring what the wiki says is too much for a package installation. Installed packages should work out of the box after its installation).
So, what can I do in order to get BOINC + BOINC Manager work together?
Thank you for your help Nattgew.
Boinc is already running in the background as a service. There is no need to run "boinc" on the command line. The error you see is because it is trying to start Boinc again from the command line, but the service is already running and has claimed the port 31416.
I know, it was in order to give all the possible feedback.
I'm not sure why boincmgr won't connect... could you be more specific about what happens when you run it?
No, I can't be more specific than I've already been above. I've described all that I see that happens.
Other than that, the wiki tells you where to look at the log file (make sure there are no errors there) and explains the password for connecting (sounds like you already took care of that, but good to double check).
As you can see I've searched all the errors I got in the boinc wiki. I know what they mean, but not why are happening.
I think my problems come from a bad management of the files permissions by the package installation. I mean, when a package is installed there should be an script or something that modifies (or create the files with) the permissions that files must have, or create the groups that need to be created, and so on. But it looks like I have to modify all this data in order to get boincmngr connect to boinc, boinc and boincmngr get the writting permissions in the installation folder too, etc etc etc. I don't know very well how to do all this stuff (I mean that I've already created by hand the boinc group, changed the execution, access, modification of files with users and boinc groups credentials, and I still get silly errors as "boinc can't write" in a folder which is the owner, or can't write executed by the root. All this stuff messed me up because looks too much stupid), but more important, I shouldn't to do it manually after a package installation.
I should open a bug report in arhlinux first and if they can't solve the problem open it in the boinc support, I suppose.

Have entrourage and want to use Mail. Can't get it to work.
I had a macbook and purchased the Microsoft office for Mac which included Entrourage.
I have now purchased a new macbook Pro and want to begin to use Mail rather than Entrourage.
I have Entrourage on my new computer but i can't get it to transfer my information to the the Mail program
I am on Charter.net at my office and sbcglobal.net at home.
How can i get this to work. I can receive on Mail, but i can't send.check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.

If it's showing the red disabled screen due to incorrect passcodes then you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808 - you should then be able to reset the iPad via your computer's iTunes and restore/resync your content to it

Is there a way to reset my messages account, I can't get iMessage to work on IPad nor Mac osx. Help please this is really frustrating.
Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

I bought an IR receiver and an Apple Remote, and I can't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? The receiver is a Lenovo eHome OVU430006/01 USB IR Receiver.
Hello,
You would need to pair the Apple Remote with the receiver. So I would use the generic Mac/PC receiver and follow these instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619
If that doesn't work then check in System Profiler to see if the IR receiver has been recognized by the PowerBook's hardware. You may require the install of drivers for this device to be recognized.
Best of luck -

I have a go daddy email account and I can't get it to work on my iPad
Try turning the email account off and then turn it on again. Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>select your gmail account>Off. Go to the mail app and then come back to the account in the settings and turn it on again.
If you can't find any other way for the iPad to accept the password, delete the email account and then add it back onto the iPad. -

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?
The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues. -
Iphone 5 went black. Tried pushing on/off and circle at the same time. Worked yesterday and then did it again today. Can't get it to work.
You need to hold those button longer until you see the apple logo, then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.

Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
There are tutorials here

Hi Mike,
I've checked your account. I see that you just purchased the subscription this morning. The order is still pending processing, which is why you haven't yet been able to log in an use your subscription. It can take 24-48 hours for a subscription to process fully. Once it does, you'll be able to log in and convert files.
I apologize for the inconvenience.
