Kbuildsycoca mimetype errors: KDE or Arch problem? And how to fix?
Hi,
I'm running out of hdd space because of kbuildsycoca mimetype/servicetype in .xsession-errors
I know I can delete those files but I want to monitor the other errors.
So, I've lost my patience and started entering them hand...
Nevertheless, a few questions remain:
1. After 2 days reading materials on the net I still can't understand who is resposible for them: KDE or distro?
2. Does anyone know an automated way to fix those mimetypes (preferably for all users)?
3. Or at least how to fix by hand types like 'KPovModeler/Document'?
4. Where to find info for the correct values?
5. Is it true that some/all of those errors should be fixed "automagically" if correct 'application/octet-stream' is present (I entered it but with no values)?
6. ...Or have I just messed up something with installations (I'm using KDE 3.5.6)?
Thanks in advance.
1... partial answer, I guess, is that Arch supplies something useful for the mimetypes https://www.archlinux.org/packages/files/509/... (by installing
pacman -S shared-mime-info
, which I had done)
2, 3 and the above supplied things like:
usr/share/mime/application/x-kpovmodeler.xml
Then, if applying knowledge from this topic http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32007, I should have had in my
~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list
something more useful than
[Default Applications]
text/plain=mousepad.desktop
And, if comparing to Fedora Core 6, also quite rich this one:
usr/share/applications/defaults.list
but the latter had been absent on my Arch... Should it be? But, after copying it, kbuildsycoca is still very unhappy and produces long lists
update-mime-database /usr/share/mime
doesn't change sycoca's mood, nor
update-desktop-database
No errors, but no positive result, either.
pacman -R kde gnome xorg
etc. Deleting - backing .config , .kde etc. - same effect.
Any hints, folks? Nobody else have kbuildsycoca errors?
Btw,. I guess, every Knoppix has...

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?
If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad. -
Using Safari and Skype and the fan is going full power. What is the problem and how to fix it?
My 13-Inch MacBook Pro has been experiencing heat problems while I go on to applications such as Safari, Word and Skype. It's never done this before.
What's the problem here and how can I fix it?Skype is the one giving you problems.....
When sitting at idle, Skype can use as much as 90% of your CPU's resources. The reason I know this is because I use Skype and have to shut it down once the fans start spinning and my Macbook starts getting hotter.
Another solution is to downgrade Skype one version down. That seems to work for a few people.
good luck... -
My Mac produces a sort of like beeping noise.... What's the problem and how do fix it?
iTunes, Safari and Twitter for Mac were the only applications running when it started to beep. I panicked and I immediately closed all the applications and shut the thing down. I started it up again and the sound was gone. What's the problem? Why did it beep? Do I need to take it to the PowerMac store? Thank you!
Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iPod connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

my ipod touch has lost location services after i installed a new modem to my pc . it is turned on in the settings and i have even reset the ipod to new status. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Nothing you can do except wait until Apple adds the router to their database of routers and their location. If you or someone nearby does not have an iPhone it can take a while. There is no way to tell Apple to add a router to their database.

There are no preferences for Quicktime 10, only for QT 7.
Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
For anything like Flash videos you should use QT 7. -
when I tried to update to the new version of Itunes - message box appears "APSDAEMON.EXE MSVCR80.DLL is missing". Then another box indicates "Error 7 (Windows error 126)". Itunes will not start. Can someone tell me what the problem is and how to fix?
Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.
2. If the Apple article does not fully resolve the problem for you, then try Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates - MSVCR80. -
Does not open.
Instead Microsoft error message "encounters a problem and needs to close".
I have already tried the uninstall & reinstall "solution".
What else can I do. I have a paid for document I would like to read.
Thanks.Hi ynotcookit
Please make sure that antivirus has been disabled...
Check the .net framework installed on the machine and update it, if required
Also, Let us know the exact OS that you're using?
Thanks,

Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache
Cannot open CS6 Bridge. Always the same ERROR: Bridge has a problem and cannot read the cache
Try this. This is for CS6 but substitue CC and Bridge 6.
~library/caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6 and inhere should be 2 files:
Adobe Bridge Plug-in Cache
and the folder called Cache. Inhere should be 4 folders called '254', '1024', 'data' and 'full'
All those folders carry the content of the respective quality of the thumbs and preview as well as 100 % cache and Bridge database.
Any way, Since you have not used Bridge you have no relevant amount of cache and I would suggest you quit both PS and Bridge and manual delete both the items (plug in and folder called cache at the end of the Bridge CS6 path mentioned above.
(both files will refresh itself after a restart of Bridge).
To be on the save side also visit in same user library the folder Preferences and look for the file called "com.adobe.bridge5.plist" (yes it is Bridge 5 that comes with CS6, all Adobe apps have their own version number and they are presented in the same Suite version. CS6 has PS version 13 and Bridge version 5 )
also drag this file to the trash.
Then hold down option key (alt) while starting Bridge and this should give you the option to reset the preferences as mentioned earlier in this thread.
Choose reset prefs and try again. -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I've got the same problem.
It wasn't the case before the upgrade to v 9.2 (Iphoto 11) yesterday.
The previous solution preferences - advanced - "select a store" (last option) doesn't solve it anymore.
Thanks! -
I updated iTunes to 10.4 version and now it doesn't start and send a messages "iTunes has detected an error and must be closed". Someone have the same problem and how can we repair our installation insted of change the windows XP installation? Best regards
Only way to get iMac starting again was to re-install 10.4.4 from DVD, and then update it into 10.4.6. For a while it worked perfectly, just as before.
Then I tried to print to CD with my EPSON Stylus Photo 950 from Adobe Photoshop Elements (2.0). It didn't print anything, but printer started flashing all lights. The print job was not performed, so I did remove it from the Printer Utility. After that the iMac started "ticking" again, same noise than before, after 10.4.7 installation. I did re-boot iMac. It never started, it does stuck on gray screen (gray block running clockwise). HW test from DVD didn't find any problems (extended search looping 3 times). But Disk Utility found hard drive to have inaccurate node structure, it could not fix it.
Apple support recommended to use DiskWarrior. However, it does not support (yet) Intel Macs. I haven't got TechTool Pro 4.5.1 anywhere. iMac does start on to FireWire mode (T at boot), but I cannot see the disk from 10.2.8 iMac.
So, obvisously the problem is not 10.4.7. I believe it to be ESPON printer driver compatibility on Mac OSX. This does not suprise me, EPSON printers *****, I shall never purchase one again. However, disk catalog structure should not get messed by one faulty printer driver! -

Spotlight and search field in Outlook on MacBoon cannot find files as of a certain date. What can be the problem and how to solve?
Reinstall on both.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless.
Restore your iPhone to reinstall iOS. Be sure to do this while connected to your computer and iTunes.
