Is the new glibc package suppose to remove /lib and /lib64 links?

I haven't updated in a month since 12/24. I recently updated on 1/23. I didn't use any --force commands, only --ignore filesystem on the first pass. Right after pacman upgraded glibc, no executable can be ran. I found out it is because it removed the symbolic links /lib and /lib64. Is this suppose to happen? Why something so dramatic happened without force command?

Thanks for all your help, Scimmia. I managed to fix my system.
In case anyone else have the exact same problem as me, after I used --force to upgrade both filesystem and glibc, I met an error message saying that my root partition can not be found. Just follow the instructions through this link:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … onger_boot
There is one thing that I am still worried about. Everything runs fine now, and I haven't seen any problems stemming from this yet. Before I messed up my system and right after upgrading glibc, no executable can be ran, so every package that I upgraded afterwards resulted in some failure. Is this failure important?

    I have a new machine with a previous installation of Itunes, linked to another Apple ID. Even  I authorized the machine to my Apple ID, I can not connect to the Apple Store. I tried removing Itunes and reinstalling it, but anything changed. I still can not connecto to the Store.
    My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.
    Anyway, Dropbox is also not connecting....so I do not know how to make it woek. please help!

    I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
    The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account.  I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there.  On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back.  Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email.  The device is currently useless.
    The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
    Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • Bad error because of the new QT package

    Hi!
    I installed the new qt package and wanted to update some packages from AUR after that. Unfortunately after starting the build it stops during configuration with the following message:
    checking for KDE... libraries /opt/kde/lib, headers /opt/kde/include
    checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no
    configure: error:
    you need to install kdelibs first.
    If you did install kdelibs, then the Qt version that is picked up by
    this configure is not the same version you used to compile kdelibs.
    The Qt Plugin installed by kdelibs is *ONLY* loadable if it is the
    _same Qt version_, compiled with the _same compiler_ and the same Qt
    configuration settings.
    Maybe the maintainer can rebuild the kdelibs so compiling apps for KDE will be possible again.

    I already wanted to compile kdelibs myselve using the PKGBUILD available in ABS. But to my surprise it stopped with an error, so it's impossible for me to compile it....
    I'm wondering about that, since I always thought that everything from ABS will work, because the developers build the packages using the exact same PKGBUILDs.....
    Anyway, I may downgrade again, when I found a server still having the old package... 

  • I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store

    I just downloaded the new Mac OS X v10.7 Lion, and now when I go on the Mac Store to download a game (N.O.V.A 2) it goes straight to the Launch Pad, as it's supposed to, but the game it's self wont download, it just keeps saying "waiting" I never had this problem before, any ideas?

    I'm connected through my Sky Wifi, it's extremely quick, and I don't have any problems with it. Yes it asked me for my Account Email, and password as normal, then it did that little annimation where it flys into the Launch Pad, then it's saying "waiting" where it should be saying downloading.

    I can't seem to enlarge the text on my news apps SI and The New Yorker.  Yet, I can touch and expand the test on my mail and websites. How come?

    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.

    Now after 5 weeks, you have always not resolved this very important and urgent issue. It seems that Adobe has realy abandonned the actionscript / flash player projects. Why not simply discontinue flash player on desktops too ? Or even better remove or block "automaticaly" all flash players with the final update. That could create a serious issue on the Internet for few weeks but at least that will be honorable end like a Samurai's Seppuku...

    I have recently updated the new apps via creative cloud now photoshop and bridge no longer work, they open then say they have encountered a problem and close, I also tried opening the old version of photo shop but getting the same result

    What OS version? What's the exact error? Exactly when does the error occur? What previous versions? What is on the screen when the error displays? Does Photoshop get fully open?
    Try opening Photoshop holding down Shift key immediately to turn off plug-ins. Lots of good suggestions here: Photoshop: Basic Troubleshooting steps to fix most issues

    If your computer is running an OS X prior to Snow Leopard 10.6,
    the answer (if it is an Intel-based Mac; not old PowerPC model)
    would be to buy the retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD from Apple
    for about $20, and install it. Then update that to 10.6.8 by using
    the installed Snow Leopard online to get Combo Update v1.1 for
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8. After that is installed & updated, run the
    system's Software Update again, to see what else is available to
    that system.
    Later systems can then be looked into at Mac App Store, once
    the computer is running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
    And if your computer is a Power PC (G4/G5, etc) and has no
    Core2Duo kind of CPU -- See "About this Mac" in apple menu
    to disclose the general info about your Mac. Also you can see
    even more by clicking on "More Info" when looking in there...
    If it isn't an Intel-based Mac, it can't run a system past 10.5.8.
    Hopefully this helps.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem.  When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music?

    Had 3G, moved to 3GS.  Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer.  But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything.  How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

    Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me.  Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?

    BUMP.
    I actually showed this to Apple geniuses when I took my computer to the apple store, and it's still here. In console it says:

    I don't know if that's related or not, but maybe helps?

    I found information on how to transfer my itunes library to a new computer. I am going to use an external hard drive for this to transfer my itunes folder to the new computer.
    I will then download and install a new version of itunes on my new computer.
    My question is this. When I do this, will itunes have all my album artwork for all my library? My library has a lot of my own music and I have spent quite a bit of time copying album artwork that itunes did not add. I am really hoping I don't have to do this again!

    This is really unfortunate. I'm sorry that nothing works. I was going to mention holding down the power button and doing a force shutdown but you already did that. You might need to take it into the Apple store. I don't know if booting into safe mode would help. You would have to turn off the machine again, hit the start button and hold down the shift key after you hear the tone, but normally you would let go of the shift key when you see the apple logo and spining wheel. Maybe by holding down the shift key after you here the tone will cause the screen to come back on? The other option is to start up from the 'install disk' if your machine came with one. You would insert the disk, then shut down the computer, and hold down the C key right after hitting the start button.

    after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days
