Initramfs unpacking failed on boot almost EVERY TIME
My sister has been bugging me about this for weeks...
Rebooting from the live CD and redoing 'mkinitcpio -p linux' does work, but not all the time. This is a really annoying issue and I wish that it would be fixed! Can anyone help me?

Addition: There have been other errors similar to initramfs. There's also one that mentions magic, but we get that once in a while.
MOD EDIT: Please refrain from posting large images

That's not much to go on, is it? Do you mean this happens almost every time you boot? Almost every time you boot following a kernel upgrade?
Does mkinitcpio give errors?
What is in mkinitcpio.conf?
Etc.

On my HP laptop I get the following when booting up every time: "Apple Syn Notifier-Entry Ponint Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll
I have to clear this everytime I boot up?With that one, perhaps first try uninstalling and reinstalling your MobileMe control panel. Does that clear up the error?

on our iMac, we keep getting the message "safari has quit unexpectedly." It used to happen occasionally, now it's almost every time we start Safari. Help!
Can you post a copy of the crash report?
Go to your Applications Folder and open your Utilities Folder. Open the application Console.
In the left-hand column, click on Crash Reporter.
Click on the small triangle under Crash Reporter in the l/h column and they will all be listed.
Scroll down to the latest Safari report and click on it.
Now click on the r/h column (which now only shows THAT crash report and then Command-a to copy it all.
Come back here and Command-v it to post it here! -
I am having problems using my ipod 7g with Nike Fitness. When running when I press the button between the volume buttons, I get a different action almost every time. And usually I end up either turrning volume up very high or ending the workout. I need to be able to pause workout, and get spoken feedback regarding time, distance, and pace, that's all. I'm using a Griffin brand armband, that covers all of the buttons. I've read the online manual. no help. I'm just about ready to return it and go back to my 5th gen with its smaller song capacity and no blurry. Any help or suggestions very welcome.
Jeff:
I have had both good and bad experiences with Acronis True Image. I got the recent copy of ATI via a Newegg.com bundle. I haven't tried it yet on any Windows 7 editing systems. ATI installs some services that I would rather not have running in the background.
What made you change from ATI to ShadowProtect Desktop Edition?
Are you running Windows 7?
What do you see as advantages to running ShadowProtect Desktop Edition as opposed to Acronis True Image?
Thanks -
I like to listen to books on my iPhone. I like music. It'd be SO NICE if I could continue on with the same story or the same song (or even the same artist / album) if I get interrupeted with a text or I decide to take a photo and send it to somebody. It seems like almost every time I take a photo and send it, I end up with a new new song playing. Or, if I'm in the middle of an audio book, suddenly have music playing when I turn back on the sound. I know I'm not the only one having this problem. I happened to mention it to somebody yesterday and she knew EXACTLY what I was talking about. She also expressed her frustration. I'm running iOS 7. I didn't ask her what she's running. Anybody else want to chime in? Any fixes that anybody knows about?

is there a way of wiping ALL Safari data, i.e. restoring Safari ? I think my Safari has a virus..as every time I open it, a web page called 'search quick' comes up. Its bombarded my Safari with constant pop up adverts almost every time I click!
There is no need to download anything to solve this problem. You may have installed a variant of the "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow Apple Support's instructions to remove it.
If you have trouble following those instructions, see below.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. This procedure works as of now, as far as I know. It may not work in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for a more recent discussion, or start a new one.
The VSearch malware tries to hide itself by varying the names of the files it installs. To remove it, you must first identify the naming pattern.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "LaunchDaemons" may open. Look inside it for two files with names of the form
com.something.daemon.plist
and
com.something.helper.plist
Here something is a variable string of characters, which can be different in each case. So far it has always been a string of letters without punctuation, such as "cloud," "dot," "highway," "submarine," or "trusteddownloads." Sometimes it's a meaningless string such as "e8dec5ae7fc75c28" rather than a word. Sometimes the string is "apple," and then you must be especially careful not to delete the wrong files, because many built-in OS X files have similar names.
If you find these files, leave the LaunchDaemons folder open, and open the following folder in the same way:
/Library/LaunchAgents
In this folder, there may be a file named
com.something.agent.plist
where the string something is the same as before.
If you feel confident that you've identified the above files, back up all data, then drag just those three files—nothing else—to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Close the Finder windows and restart the computer.
Don't delete the "LaunchAgents" or "LaunchDaemons" folder or anything else inside either one.
The malware is now permanently inactivated, as long as you never reinstall it. You can stop here if you like, or you can remove two remaining components for the sake of completeness.
Open this folder:
/Library/Application Support
If it has a subfolder named just
something
where something is the same string you saw before, drag that subfolder to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Application Support" folder or anything else inside it.
Finally, in this folder:
/System/Library/Frameworks
there may an item named exactly
v.framework
It's actually a folder, though it has a different icon than usual. This item always has the above name; it doesn't vary. Drag it to the Trash and close the window.
Don't delete the "Frameworks" folder or anything else inside it.
If you didn't find the files or you're not sure about the identification, post what you found.
If in doubt, or if you have no backups, change nothing at all.
The trouble may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Then, still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
Acrobat X Not Reponding for 30 seconds almost every time I open a file
Acrobat X Not Reponding for 30 seconds almost every time I open a file
The title says it all.
This happens on 4 computer systems, including:
Windows 8 64-bit desktop, FRESH INSTALL
Windows 8 32-bit laptop, FRESH Install
Windows 7 64-bit desktop, REINSTALLED AND PROBLEM PERSISTS
Windows 7 32-bit laptop
I have read long forum postings of people having this problem on many different versions of Acrobat and Reader and tried many of the purpored solutions, none worked.
I would like some expert advice, but more importantly why hasn't Adobe investigated and solved this widely reported phenomenon that has gone on for years? There is no way I would upgrade to Acrobat XI (which some people report has this problem) unless Adobe acknowledges and fixes this.
Where do I report this issue to Adobe?no idea what IPM is. not in the help file. any way, who cares? this is a bug that needs to be reported. where does one do that?

Pop ups on mac?
I got a mac a few months ago and a few weeks ago I began to get mackeeper ads popping up in a different screen. Now it s getting worse and happening almost every time I click on something, and there s even more variety of what websites pop up. Now I have pop ups on the actual website I m on and they pop up every time I click something. It s really obnoxious and I hate it. How can I get rid of this....? It s really distractingClick here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Almost every time my daughter FaceTimes me, another person answers and he is getting very annoyed. I have checked my settings and can't figure out why this is happening.
Is she facetiming your phone number or email address, b/c email address should not do that.. Was there an old iPhone associated with your number or email? I've seen texts show up on long "deactivated" devices..

Library file corrupts almost every time Itunes restarts
I have three issues which started around the time I upgraded to the latest new version:
1) Almost every time I shut itunes down and go back into it, it claims that the library file is corrupt, and starts re-importing it from the xml. If I restore the library from a backup, it works ok first time I load, but then if I shut down Itunes again, it corrupts again. It does this almost every time I shut down and restart Itunes. If I allow it to reimport the library from the xml file, I lose all my podcast settings, so I prefer not to do that.
It seems that if I take a backup of the library file after shutting down itunes, I can use that backup succesfully. This would seem to indicate that the corruption or issue is occuring when Itunes starts up, and that the library file integrity is ok after shutdown.
2) Twice in the last week, 2 of my purchased albums were deleted from my c drive. They were still in the library, but the files had vanished. At first I thought I had messed up and deleted them by mistake, but the same thing happened again to exactly the same songs a few days later. This is worrying when Itunes starts to delete your music without any message or warning.
3) Not sure if this is coincidence or causal, but since I upgraded to the latest Itunes my computer seems to have become generally less stable - applications crashing on startup and so on, including even taskmgr.exe crashing, which is obviously not a good thing at all.
I have been using Itunes for several years with no issue up to now.
I have seen on this forum that quite a few others seem to be having the same issue in the last week or so, but I didn't see any solutions yet. If anyone has any ideas, please help?
thanksI finally fixed it, what I did was I backed up all my music files to data disks, then I deleted everything from my computer that was related to itunes or apple. I even deleted all of my music on my hard drive, then I restarted my computer and re-downloaded itunes and it was as if my computer had never seen itunes before and I restored my music into my computer and itunes, and it was never a problem. Maybe this can solve alot of the the problems people have relating to this error.

Almost every time i unlock my iPhone many apps appear to be installing simultaneously
Almost every time i unlock my iPhone many apps appear to be installing simultaneously, and after a few seconds the "install" or something like that and i can use them again.
This happens on my iPhone 4s and iPad 2, both with 5.1
I think this is happening since 5.1, has someone the same problem?Hi
It seems you are using the same account in both devices. In Settings --> Store, check if Apps is on or off.
if it is on, just turn it off. -
Using Windows vista and Firefox 4 hangs almost every time
I have just installed Firefox 4 and now almost every time I open Firefox it hangs. I have checked all the suggested solutions but nothing has had any effect.
Hi,
Try '''disabling graphics hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to '''restart Firefox''' in order for this to take effect, so '''save all work first'''.
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please '''check for updates for your graphics driver''' by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* '''[[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]'''
* '''[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]'''
Also try to clear the firefox cache etc.
Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
To clear cache and cookies do the following:
#Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
#Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
#Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
#From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
#Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
Further information can be found in the '''[[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]]''' article.
