KDE, aRts, and the recent flac update
Good morning,
I am running kde 3.3.1. No issues. I performed a pacman -Syu recently, and the flac package was updated.
At this point, I lost my sound, specifically aRts is not running in KDE. So KDE native apps that use aRts, such as noatun, and the KDE sounds that are specific to KDE events, do not work now.
The sound system (alsa) is still working though. Non-KDE apps generate sound perfectly, even when launched from within KDE. Last night I watched "The Day After Tomorrow" with xine, ...no sound issues. But KDE is voiceless.
Checked the obvious such as sound settings, mute, ran alsamixer in a console and verified that something wasn't muted, and verified that my default levels had not been misadjusted...
Thinking I had a system problem, I started gnome (2.8). It has it's own system sounds with no issues, so my problem appears to be KDE specific.
Any ideas anyone?
Dave..........
Gentlemen,
Sorry for being so late to chime but I've been busy trying to skull out XML all day and haven't had a chance to check the forum before this.
I did the upgrade last night but didn't notice the problem with the KDE system sounds till I read this thread (I'm now using XFce 95% of the time). Like the rest xmms and other sound apps work - just no system sounds. Everything else appears to running peachy...:)

Is anyone having problems with syncing photos with iPhone 5 and the recent iPhoto update?
My iPhone 5 has been fine for most of the week, but recently I updated my iPhoto on my iMac. Now when I sync my phone with my computer I get an error message. I restarted computer and phone and then restored the software on the iPhone and problem persisted. I then unchecked syncing photos to my phone and the sync worked.
Now I do not have the ability to sync selected photo albums with my iPhone. Believe this problem occured right when I updated iPhoto.
Is anyone else having this problem?I am having the same issue. My iPhone 5 is on Verizon and my daughters iPhone 5 is on Sprint. Cannot do anything.

I have a older MBP running 10.6.8 and after the recent iOS update I have not been able to sync my devices. I was able to sync an ipod, but not iphone or ipad. iTunes recognizes my devices, but sync button stays grayed. I've changed my USB hub, reinstalled iTunes and run disc cleanup. No luck.
You said that your computer will sync other iPods? Are they iPod touches? Other iPod use different drivers the the touch And iPhone and iPad).
You can try:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Does it charge? Does the iPod work?
I would try on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

If defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement -
I have been using facetime on my iphone5 for a while and after the recent IOS update, I cannot seems to use my facetime any longer. what went wrong?
'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
I would like to reload the recent software update for iPad. When bringing it back up I skipped the Apple ID step and should not have.
You can sign in at the iTune and App Store.

The recent software update deleted my notes and they are not in iCloud. I can email some of the material to myself. Is there a way to make an email into a note?
contact the delevoprs of the app and ask them what they recommend.
Don't sync your phone in the mean time.
best of luck -
I downloaded the recent software update Mountain Lion and now my microsoft word, powerpoint, etc. are no longer supported. Why is this? What can I do?
Depending upon how extensive your library of legacy Microsoft Office data files are, you may want to consider continuing to use Microsoft Office 2004.
Microsoft Office's 2011 version is compatible with Lion and presumably either works with Mountain Lion or an update will make it so. The problem with this approach is that Office 2011 will "convert" your earlier data files and there lies the rub! For example, I have the need to weekly open a chart created in Excel 2004, but Excel 2011 trashes the chart in its "conversion."
So I have approached the overall problem differently.
The reason your applications do not work in Mountain Lion is that they were written for the older PowerPC CPU that all Macs used up to 2006. When Apple made its transition to the Intel CPU, they licensed software that they included in all versions of OS X (from Tiger to Leopard and optionally, Snow Leopard) called Rosetta.
Rosetta miraculously allows PowerPC applications to work on the Intel processor transparently; you do not know it is even present.
The problem is that after 6 years of the transition, Apple's license to use the underlying software expired for OS X Lion and all version thereafter (and it is doubtful that the current owner of the software, IBM, would relicense it, even if Apple were inclined to do so).
So for those of use that need to run Lion, I have offered the option to install Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7:

And now Mountain Lion:

Snow Leopard is $29 and Parallels 7 is $79 retail (cheaper from competitive sources) and Parallels offers a 14 day free trial of Parallels 7 on their website:

downloaded the recent software update and now the screen is locked up with an apple icon
Well I am having the same issue and I had not had to worry about getting a "licensed charger." The poster who responded offered not real insite and was rude to boot. I am also looking for the fix on this . My iphone will not even charge now on any charger. What the heck. I am not trying to treaten anyone either when I say I am frustrated with my iphone which in my case I have only had for a few months. I have already sent one in to be replaced and this is my second one. I have had troubles since the update GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR .

The recent software update on my HTC One has caused errors with Exchange ActiveSync issues. Calendar, mail and tasks sync fine but contacts won't sync. How do you correct this?
I had the same problem. Here is what worked for me. Open the mail app and delete your exchange account (Settings > Delete Account). Then re-add your Exchange account. After this my Exchange contacts showed up again.

I have started getting spammed on multiple Apple products (iPhone and iPad) with FaceTime calls since the recent IOS update. Is there any feature or setting I can use locally to restrict incoming calls to a FaceTime account without going to the carrier?
After calling AT&T tech support one more time, and explaining to them that the glitch was on their network, they admitted that the problem was at their tower...
I continued to use the phone on EDGE mode for two more days until the problem was fixed.
I even got a call back from a tech support guy asking me if my phone was working properly....
I wish they would have admitted to the problem before I sat at the apple store for 2 hours. -
I have just completed the recent software update. When opening iPhoto the updates applied themselves and stalled at step 5 at 99% and will not finish. any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

myself and my partner had a iphones. Since the recent software update he now randomly receives texts from my contacts and also when im sending texts. Is this because we share the same apple id. This didnt happen before the software update.
You can both share the same Apple ID for purchases but i suggest one of you use another email for the use of iMessage, Facetime etc.
It is easy to do, the easiest way is to set up an iCloud email directly from your iPhone. Once set up one of you will use this for iCloud services but both still use the existing Apple ID to make purchases. -
My Win 7 PC will not recognize my I-Phone 4S since the recent OS update. Reinstalling I-Tunes has not helped. What else can I try?
irst off, you can connect the device to another computer to import the photos. Second the error that you are seeing is a Windows error and you would have to look that one up on Microsoft.com. You should be able to remove the device from Device Manager, unplug the phone, wait a moment and then plug it back in. It should recognize it then and load the driver.
The message board is no longer allowing me to reply from that site. In answer to above, I don’t have another computer. Yes, what I sent is a windows error message but this is NOT a windows error. From what I can see online from others, this is a problem many are having as a result of something in the new OS we downloaded to keep our I-phones current. Everything worked fine before downloading the new OS and nothing changed in our systems except the new OS. Apple needs to diagnose the problem and develop a fix! -

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 and later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List. -
I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year. I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages. I am running version 4.3. Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?
You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.
