/lib symlinks /usr/lib. Doeas it mean /usr HAS to be mounted??

For traditional Unix systems (FHS-compliant) it is (was?) completely safe to unmount (or even delete) the `/usr' filesystem. There are (were?) no files critical to the system "itself" - only applications, daemons, desktop data etc.
Since now under Arch `/lib' symlinks `/usr/lib'. But `/lib/modules/<kernel>' stores kernel modules - even those that are critical; `/lib' also stores libraries critical to binaries in `/bin' ans `/sbin'! Does it mean that since now inaccessible `/usr' may result in a non-booting system???

Arch uses an initramfs, so all necessary tools for rescue operatiosn should be included there. As long as /boot is working, you'll be able to boot in an initramfs-console.
critical to the system "itself"
Well, what do you define as critical? Text-console and writing files? Mounting? Networking?

  • HT201386 So does that mean Apple has simply abandoned a proprietary paid for app? How will this affect iPhoto from Mavericks to Yosemite?

    So does that mean Apple has simply abandoned a proprietary paid for iOS app? How will this affect iPhoto from Mavericks to Yosemite? anyone with Yosemite Beta in the loop?
    Thanks from Zurich,
    Dan

    So does that mean Apple has simply abandoned a proprietary paid for iOS app?
    That has happened before - remember iWeb?
    But this time Apple has provided a migration to the successor app, Photos.
    For iPhoto and Aperture on the Mac is not much known (Aperture is Dead. Long Live Photos! | ApertureExpert), only, that there will be a "Photos" for MacOS X.
    anyone with Yosemite Beta in the loop?
    Beta testers are bound by a non-disclosure agreement, and beta-issues must to be discussed in the public forums, or we will be in trouble. Neither are we allowed to speculate, sorry.

  • I lost my phone 6 weeks ago, today I got an email saying "iPhone has been locked." does this mean someone has tried to power up my device. I had put the remote lock on the phone when I lost it. Today I sent 2 messages to the phone asking to call my phone

    Yes, this would seem the most likely reason to me.

  • When someone messages me their contact name does not show up as how i saved them!!! does this mean someone has access to my phone?

    When I get a message from my friend, her contact name does not show up the way I saved her and I am wondering if someone has hacked my phone or something

    That is what I am trying to work through. I understand you are seeing it in Notifications, that was what I was trying to confirm. When you open the message, what is displaying on the phone, Juan? Is Notification the only place that you are seeing this name differently? And yes, if you have the name saved as John, it should display as John. How are you backing up/syncing your contacts? Are you using a supported application on the computer, or are you using a cloud service, such as iCloud? If you go into your contacts and look in the upper left corner of the application, does it list more than one source for your contacts? Do you have more than one person with the same phone number listed in contacts, similar to having two people that work at the same place? Is the Notification only displaying a first name and no last name? Do you have first names only in your contacts?

  • My sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house does this mean someone has stolen the iPod and reset it?

    HI my sons iPod touch has disappeared from my find my iPhone account and it can't be located in the house is it possible someone has stolen the ipod and reset it? Please help a confused mum...

    Could be. The battery could also have died or it is no longer connected to the internet
    lost/stolen                                     
    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • TS3276 "message failed because you have exceeded your sending limit."  Has anyone seen this before & what does it mean?

    What does this mean?  Has anyone seen before?

    Most e-mail servers impose limits on how many messages you can send per day and how many different e-mail addresses you can send messages to per day. This is a measure to prevent spam, and you're unlikely to hit those limits unless you're sending messages to a very large group of people. Generally, those limits are somewhere in the hundreds.
    If you haven't been sending that much e-mail, or to that many recipients, then your e-mail account may have been hacked and used to send spam. See:
    Someone is sending messages from my e-mail address!

  • Two unknown computers show up under "shared." What does this mean?

    When I open a finder window, two computers that are unknown to me show up under "shared." What does this mean?
    Does this mean someone has broken into my wireless network? Or that these people have access to my files? I don't want to be "sharing" anything with people I don't even know.

    It means two of your neighbors also have a wireless network. They cannot access your computer unless you give them your userid and password.
    Go ahead and try to access their computers. Unless they have guest sharing turned on, usually to share photos with family and friends, you will not be able to access their computers.
    I’m on a university network and have hundreds of names in the Shared section of my sidebar, but do not have access to their computers, nor theirs to mine.

  • I could not remember my apple ID password so I made a request for a new one. When I received the email with the link on resetting my password it was addressed to John Ohare. My name is not John Ohare. Does this mean someone is hacked my iCloud account?

    Hello Corinne Craven,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    You can update the name on your Apple ID here:
    Appleid.apple.com
    If you suspect unauthorized access to your apple ID I would normally recommend resetting your password, but you have already done this.
    Here is some information about 2 step verification which is another level of security for your account.

    Be sure to read all the information in the article if you choose to use two-step verification.
    Take care,

  • What does it mean when it says an ibook is protected?

    On my imac, i see books that we have purchased but i can't open them.  When looking at the file, it says protected.  Does that mean it has been loaded on to many devices.

    No, it means you cannot copy an iBook from your iDevice to the computer nor read them on the computer.

  • TS3276 if smtp server yahoo is offline, what exactly does that mean? did yahoo take the server offline?

  • Order status in progress, what does this mean?

    I ordered a product and the order status is "In Progress" does this mean it has been shipped or it is not available?

      - the delay is likely due to the high number of orders that were placed over the weekend with Black Friday. One thing to note is that shipping notifications aren't sent out in real time, so just because your account hasn't updated, your product could already be en route to you. I placed an order on the 29th and only received my shipping notification this morning (and my product has been delivered), if that helps ease your mind at all! If you don't get anything by the end of today, you can try calling Customer Service, but it's likely it's just high volume of Black Friday.
    Cheers,
