"local is newer then core,community,extra" messages? solved

ive read about rank mirrors, reflector, etc.. and pacman -Syu, and Syyu
i see on the list on the main (home)page, that there are packages for 64bit that are available, but when I goto update, nothing's available.. then when i went to use reflector..then i do -Syyu, i get this message..

(since ive been using arch i've never seen the above message before when pacman -Syu, Syyu is used)
I've checked the mirrors on https://users.archlinux.de/~gerbra/mirrorcheck.html
and put the one on top, that has the least amount of time since syncing.. and got the above message..
here's the mirrors..
Server = http://archlinux.linuxfreedom.com/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/ArchLinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.umoss.org/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirrors.xmission.com/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
Server = http://mirror.rit.edu/archlinux/$repo/os/x86_64
these seem to be the fastest..and have been synced in the least amount of time..
but why am i getting the message i posted on the top of this post?
I am not sure what I should do, I see that arch wont let me downgrade, so thats' a good thing, for I mayve hit Yes..
should i put my original mirrorlist.backup on there, and then use reflector? or does anyone reading this, have the top list for United states that is up2date the fastest.. (for 64bit of course)
I hope I explained this correctly for what i'm asking..
is there a new default list I can d/l and uncomment from the beginning? and then find the most up2date one? that syncs fastest?

theres' so many... so what you are saying is, if i pick one, just "wait" till its synced whether it be in hours, or days after a package is updated?
so what one?
What I did when I had more free time was daily check for 10 latest mirrors, sort them according to aggregate score, and then rank them according to speed. After a few months the mirror I'd selected fell behind though.
A far more productive thing to do would be to select a mirror and just keep using it. Only think about changing if no updates are shown over a period of a week or so. Just because Arch is rolling release doesn't mean you HAVE TO HAVE THE LATEST OMG ROXORZ packages right away. Keeping everything in sync is much more important.

When I open Muse, I get a message that a new update is available. When I hit install it just closes and nothing happens. Then I got a message I needed Adobe Creative Cloud App to resolve the issue. I downloaded a copy of Creative Cloud desktop but it says that my Muse is up to date. It was last updated in May but you have a new update today and it will not update. I thought maybe I am not suppose to have the Creative Cloud update because all I have is the individual app Muse and the photography program. So I uninstalled the CC desktop. Then when I open Muse it says I need the CC desktop to help with the update. So I get stopped either way. Now I also had a Pre-Release Muse on my computer and I don't know if that complicated things. Please advise.

All future installs/updates of Muse (and most other Adobe apps) are through the Creative Cloud desktop app. Thus you do need to have it installed.

Its Time To Upgrade My Computer/ Need Some Advice, old or new 8 core

well my dual 2.0 had a nice run but its time to move on up.i use alot of software plugs, omnisphere , bfd2 etc and my machine can't handle it. my question is. do i get a older 8 core and save some money or get one of the new ones. and also which speed. i know there is 3 new 8 core.
if i feel its worth it i would spend the extra money and get the latest and greatest, but do i need too? someone was mentioning muliithreading and things i know nothing about. also did the older 8 cores drop in value yet? and where is a good place to shop for one
thanks

I was recently in the market for a new Mac Pro. My Dual 2gig had seen it's last mix ; )
I was originally lurking on EBay but I wasn't impressed with the prices on used 8-cores so, on a whim, I actually called one of the local Apple stores just to see if they had any left. Sure enough they had one 2.8 8-core in stock. Their price was $2499 (fortunately I am a part-time audio production teacher as well) and I received the EDU discount and got it for $2299 (plus the icky Illinois/Cook County/Chicago tax).
I would definitely hunt for a Old(New) one.
Good Luck!

Ordered New 8 Core Today ... is it worth it?

I bought my first Mac in San Diego in 1984. It was the original 128K Mac. I was in the Navy at the time, and I set my beloved machine up in the Harpoon Missle Launch Room, a space no bigger than a walk-in closet, on the USS Elliot (a Spruance Class Destroyer stationed at the 32nd Street Naval Station near downtown SD). My Mac went with me on all of the Elliot's deployments ... including (2) WESPACs ... into the farthest reaches of the Pacific Ocean. Like me, My 128K Mac became a "golden shellback" when we crossed the equator at the 180th meridian after returning to SD from Australia (this is the domain of the Golden Dragon, ruler of the 180th meridian, for all of you slimy wogs).
Fast forwarding to 2007, I ordered my 10th Mac today (MAC X). A 3.0 GHz 8 core machine with 1GB of RAM (which I've already upgraded with a matched quad to 5GB thanks to RamJet ... a good start considering the fact that this system drained my bank account), a 500GB start-up drive (with two 750GB Seagate Barracudas that I plan to turn into a 1.5TB RAID 0 thanks to ZipZoomFly), an ATI Radeon X1900 XT video card, two 16X SuperDrives, Airport Extreme, Bluetooth, etc ...
X Macs & 23 years later ...
From a 128K Mac to this new octocrazy X-gen wonder ... I feel a bit nostalgic and perhaps a little gasp old tonight ...
Of course when the machine finally arrives, all of that will change.
So tell me you octo-monkeys with your new machines, is this going to be worth it?

My new 8 core shipped out of Shenzehn China on Wednesday. By Thursday night it was in Anchorage. It arrived at my home the next morning.
The machine arrived in perfect working order with everything I ordered in tact. As usual, Apple met my high expectations.
The migration from my G4 went smooth, only a few minor hiccups. I used Apple's Migration Assistant with firewire and put my G4 in target disk mode. I've seen some horror stories in these forums, but I experienced no pain.
I installed (2) 750GB drives and configured them as a RAID 0. This was a snap. The drives install easily in the Mac Pro's well designed enclosure. No power cords and no data cords! What a great design.
I also installed an additional 4GB of RAM. This was a breeze too. As a design engineer, I'm impressed. My hat is off to the engineers who worked on this.
The wireless keyboard & mouse sync'd up easily with the Mac. I also tested my new Motorola KRAZR over blue tooth ... no problem. Apple's website says iSync is compatible with RAZR & KRAZR phones, but that's not the case. I am unable to use iSync (I suspect this will be fixed soon).
I downloaded and ran Bootcamp this afternoon. It was easy. I loaded my Mac Pro with Windows XP Pro, and only ran into one problem. The ATI driver sought out by Bootcamp seemed to be incompatible with my X1900. I found a solution on these boards however, and resolved the driver problem in a bout an hour ... not a big deal ... all things considered.
There is one thing I found out about Bootcamp today that I hadn't heard here before. Windows doesn't recognize my wireless keyboard and mouse. I'm not sure if there is a workaround for this yet, but I suspect not. This will probably be resolved in the official release of Bootcamp when Leopard comes out in October. Until then, I guess I'm stuck with an extra USB keyboard and mouse on my desktop ...
I haven't tried to load Pro-Engineer yet ... that will be the ultimate test for me.
Tiger runs awesome of course. I transcoded a movie from DVD-9 format to DVD-5 format to see how the octo would perform. Normally this took about an hour on my G4. The 8 core Mac Pro chewed thru in in less than two minutes.
All in all, I'm very pleased thus far. I'm liking this new toy a lot. I think it might be worth it ... I copy that on the Ferrari David!

Anyone Buy the New 8 Core Machine? and Why Over Previous 8 Core ?

i know right now it's probably best to get a older 8 core, but what will it be that logic implements in their software that would make it worth spending the extra money for a new 8 core? 64 bit ? multi threading? and what specifically will the new machines give you that the old ones won't?
would love to hear from some of you who did get a new one and why.
thanks

Well I found out the Quadro FX 4800 works on it, that looks pretty good.
It's a good card, but it has a different application focus.
What applications do you use?
Answering that helps determine what the best card is.
The 5800 is better though, will it work?
Better, how?
The spec's read better?
How about real world performance?
Benchmarks?
They are very similar in shape and such.
Shape has little to do with anything.
The ROM is the key.
If the card is not produced as "OS X compatible", it does not have Mac ROM and cannot be used.
If there is a Mac edition that is similar (same GPU series, similar architecture) the ROM may be flashed to Mac ROM.
Especially in Geforce cards, the ability to edit ROMs and even write portions of the ROM is necessary to be able to flash a card.
Even then, no guarantees.
Often a port on a flashed card won't work after flashing.
Seems the 5800 has a 10 bit display port, so if the card were flashable, the display port wouldn't work.
The ROM chip size of a card is also of concern.
Many cards require either a new, larger ROM chip to accept the Mac ROM (soldering), or, require a hacked, "reduced" ROM to be written to allow flash.
Invariably, there will be some feature loss with a reduced ROM, but a good hacker usually gets rid of superfluous stuff.
Cards with more VRAM than the Mac counterpart will often times lose the extra VRAM- it won't be read by OS X.
Then there is the EFI question, which often creates a final stumbling block for converting a card.
There are many pioneers who flash cards.
If a card is flashable, it has already been done.
The Quadro 4500, 4800, and 5600 have all been worked out.
As of yet, the 5800 hasn't been sussed out for flash (as far as I can find).
Flashing the card is easy.
Finding a physically compatible card and a compatible ROM are the hard parts.
The two best retail cards for the Mac Pro are the Geforce GTX 285 and the Radeon HD 4870.

I am planning to run Win.7 64 bit and Prem.El.8+Photoshop El.8. Is there anyone that can tell me if this is a good config. for my purpose? I also have some qustions

Sometimes people says "editing" and sometimes they say "rendering", is this the same? Then I don`t know if I should use Raid or singel disks. If Raid, Raid 0 on 2 disks or Raid 5 on all 4 disks,(not the ssd). For safe I will have an ext.disk for backup. Is this a good setup?

I gave you my opinion on Raid 0 in my above post.
Regarding Raid 5, it is really a matter of personal preference. If you are good at doing regular backups of data, and at least one timely backup of a complete Drive Image, then Raid 5 might not be your cup of tea.
Here is some additional technical details on a Raid 5 configuration from Intel Tech Support:
(One key statement below is that Raid 5 performs better with small I/O files, (versus the large data files associated with video). ~~ And you'll need to tie up a minimum of 3 hard drives to accomplish this sense of data recovery and availability)...
RAID 5 (STRIPING WITH PARITY)
RAID level 5 combines three or more hard drives so that all data is divided into manageable blocks called strips. RAID 5 uses parity, which is a mathematical method for recreating lost data to a single drive, which increases fault tolerance. The data and parity are striped across the array members in a rotating sequence. Because of the parity striping, it is possible to rebuild the data after replacing a failed hard drive with a new drive. The extra work of calculating the missing data will degrade the write performance to the volumes while data is being rebuilt. RAID 5 performs better for smaller I/O functions than larger sequential files.
Advantages: Full data redundancy; efficient; fault-tolerant and increased storage array performance.
Disadvantage: Time consuming to rebuild and decreased performance during rebuilding.
Applications: Good choice for file and application servers; Internet and Intranet servers.

Pacman not detecting core and extra repositories

Yesterday, I installed yaourt and pacman-color. After installing these, my pacman doesnot find most of the packages(cups,firefox,zip,unzip,unrar).
Specifically, when I search using pacman "pacman -Ss" I get results only from the community and not from core and extra.
When I search for firefox or the above mentioned packages, I get "error: target not found: firefox"
I checked the pacman.conf file, community and core repos are uncommented only. There is no error in pacman log also. I have uninstalled yaourt and pacman-color for now. But still the issue persists.
I ran the command "pacman -Syyu" but still not detecting the packages.
Not sure this info helps, but the extra.db file in /var/lib/pacman/local has a size of 0 while the other files are not size 0. Please advice

It looks like you have extra commented so pacman is being told not to look at it. Out of interest how do you know core isn't working? Have you tried searching for a package in core - eg:
\pacman -Ss coreutils
Can you post your pacman.conf please?

Refurbished MacBook Core Duo or New MacBook Core 2 Duo w/Edu Discount?

I'm interested in getting an Apple notebook for school and can't decide whether to get the new MacBook Core 2 Duo and use my student discount or just get a refurbished MacBook Core Duo for a few hundred less. Is the Core 2 Duo chip worth the extra money? I plan on using it for my design courses, which use the Adobe and Macromedia suite of applications. Oh, and I plan on playing WoW on it as well.
Thanks!

Well theres a few important details here:
What version of the Core Duo were you after (Basic Middle or Black) for refurb?
What version are you thinking of for the Edu Discount?
Personally i'm going to university next year and am Planning on buying a Macbook in about March or June (What ever model is out then hopefully a 3rd revision). But from what is out the greatest value out of all Macbooks to date is the Middle Version of the MBC2D.
In the Core Duo generation, the jump from basic to Middle wasn't big. You got a slightly faster processor and Super Drive. Now for the same price difference you not only get the bonus C2D processor you get 1GB of Ram, A Superdrive, and a 80 GB Hard drive. For that reason, the best value i would say is the middle version of the C2D Macbooks.
You may not think that you really need 1 GB of Ram or a 80 GB Harddrive but after using a mac mini (which i unfortunately returned) I quickly realized how slow these machines are without sufficient ram. If you plan on using the Adobe suite which is not yet UB you will have a rough time without at least one gig of ram. By then it would probably be UB, but still, programs like Photoshop and Cinema 4D (If you are taking any computer animation courses) will not run well with just 512 MBs. Leopard, i'm expecting will also recommend aproximately 1 Gig of ram. If you plan on playing WoW and doing Work (Exactly what i'm planning on doing on MB) i'd go for 1 Gig of ram at least no matter what generation you get. The 80 Gigs is also in my opinion required if your running bootcamp. 60 Gig HD is insufficient, because, after being formated and having both Mac OSX and Windows XP (Or Vista) on it, the 60 GB HD may end up as more of 52 Gig HD which isn't much space to devide between to Operating Systems. (After installing +your suites that gives you like 45 Gigs to split+Music or videos you may have... brings you down to like 37 GBs + the 10 Gigs you should keep free for your computer to run fine that gives you about 27 Gigs to devide as freem space). If you plan on only running OSX then 60 Gigs should be sufficient if your not doing video editing. But if you want to run Bootcamp I'd get at least 80 Gigs (I'd go with 120 but the jump in price from 80 to 120 is huge compared the jump from 60 to 80). This is why i think the Middle CD2 is the best Macbook because you get 80 GB HD with 1 Gig of ram, a faster processor and they throw in your Superdrive from a relatively small jump in price. When looking to make a purchase try to get the cheap upgrades if they will help (Eg. a 80 Gig HD over a 60 gig HD for a small price) and try to stay away from expensive premium upgrades (120 GiG HD for much more money- unless you really need it).
Hope that helps your decision,
Sorry if the grammar/spelling is horrible, I wrote this very quickly and didn't bother with grammar/proof reading.
Good luck,
I'm sure you will be happy with w/e macbook you choose but like i said i recommend a 80GB HD and 1GB ram at least on either generation of MB. I

My question is about the 'Restore Backup' option on iTunes (Not 'Restore iPhone'). So, if I click on Back Up Now, then 'Restore Backup', would that go through the process of erasing everything on my phone as new then restore whatever iTunes has backed up?

My question is about the 'Restore Backup' option on iTunes (Not 'Restore iPhone'). So, if I click on Back Up Now, then 'Restore Backup', would that go through the process of erasing everything on my phone as new then restore whatever iTunes has backed up?
I do not want this to happen, as with previous experience iTunes doesn't restore a mirror of what the iPhone was when it was backed up as is the case with iCloud backups.
What I am trying to do is, as I've found a method on Youtube, there is an application where I can delete all the multimedia saved in my 'iMessages' so clear up some space. As doing that manually through the phone would take a lifetime. The method is to backup on iTunes, then using the backup created, importing that into the application then deleting the messages through that then restoring the phone using that amended backup.
So back to my question, would restoring through 'Restore Backup' just restore the backup internally or would it flush the entire phone and then restore the backup? And if it does so, what would be lost in the restore?
Thank you all,
Fahmid

iCloud should overwrite your phone with the data stored in your account, preserving your newer data. However, to be sure I would go to Settings>iCloud and turn data syncing to Off before restoring the backup. Then, after restoring the backup, turn the data syncing back to on, and when prompted about Merging with iCloud, choose Don't Merge. This will ensure that the data in your iCloud account overwrites the data on your phone (which is your goal).
Also, you don't sync text messages with iCloud so you will end up losing your more recent messages when they are overwritten by the backup.

I want a new Imac Core 2 Duo how do I move my files from my PowerPC G3?

I want to get a new Imac Core 2 Duo but I can't figure out how to move my old files from my very old PowerPC G3 to a new Imac when I get it -- which I hope is very soon. The G3 has a CD drive but it is not a CD burner, has a Zip Drive, does not have firewire ports or USB ports -- how on earth can I move my stuff over to the new computer? It does have a 10baseT port [I think that's what it is] -- maybe that's the key? I hope someone can help.
PowerPC G3 Mac OS 9.1.x

2sockeye, yes, you can use the new mac's Migration Assistant Program to help you move files etc to your new mac via a firewire connection.
Before you do that, search more on "migration" etc on this Discussion; Move only your data files (music, photos) as much as possible but do not move applications and especially system files, preferences that may or will override what's in your new Intel mac, it will cause corruption or an unstable system.
Download and install all the applications from ground up, especially 3rd party utilities etc - look for the Universal versions (either stated, or with a blue "ying yang" logo)

No, when you go through the beginning of setting up your new Mac, a page with the Migration Program would appear, and ask you questions on how and what kind of migration you want to perform, it will also ask you (with given instructions) connect the 2 macs up with a firewire cable - this cable goes into your firewire ports
If you don't have a firewire port on your old computer, then search again in this Discussion and under the Support tab, whether on how to transfer data on macs without FW ports

Edit as new not working with draft messages?

Occasionally I want to send two similar messages at the same time. I write one message and save it as a draft - usually at this stage without any addresses specified.
I visit the Drafts folder and use Edit as New to open the draft message as what I expect to be a new message, and then make the changes necessary (including a modified subject) to create the second similar message. I then save the second message as a draft.
When I return to the Drafts folder, the second message has overwritten the first. Edit as New does not appear to work correctly in the Drafts folder ......
I can create two similar drafts by starting a completely new message (with Write), and then manually copying the subject & contents of the original draft. However this is a cumbersome process .....
Please can Mozilla be modified so that Edit as New allows multiple draft messages to be created correctly?

Thanks for your feedback. I've looked at the bug report you identified and added my vote to the system.
I have previously tried using Templates for this issue. However, my messages are usually sent to a mailing list. I have found in the past that the mailing list is expanded when the message is sent, and my templates contained the expanded list (which meant that any addresses subsequently added to the mailing list were ignored).
I don't think I've actually tried creating the template without any addresses, even though this is how I currently work with my drafts. I'll do some more experimenting - it might provide a neat solution to several related problems.
Thanks again for your help.
