Mkinitcpio command doesn't finish

Just did a pacman there and the /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.23-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img command
doesn't finish: it takes forever to do the :: Parsing hook [autodetect] part. So I killed pacman and re-did pacman -Syu.
It finished this time. And I tried the command again on its own - the problem is still there.
anybody else seen this? I'm afaid to do a reboot now.....

My upgrade to mkinitcpio 0.5.17-1 completed without a hitch. Now the system hangs when I reboot. Booting the fallback image works ok.
I suspect there is something in my /etc/rc.conf that the new mkinitcpio doesn't like. I haven't figured out what yet.
UPDATE: When I removed "@alsa" from the DAEMONS= line of my /etc/rc.conf file, the machine boots the default image just fine. The funny thing is sound still works even without the alsa daemon.
I hope this steers you in a useful direction.

Deep freeze's reboot frozen command doesn't finishes

Whenever i send a reboot frozen command from the ARD on the server, it doesn't finishes. The Reboot command is below.
osascript <<EndOfMyScript
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "loginwindow"
key code 125
delay .25
keystroke return
delay 1
keystroke "0000"
keystroke return
end tell
end tell
delay 4
EndOfMyScript
DFXPSWD="0000" /Library/Application\ Support/Faronics/Deep\ Freeze/deepfreeze -u "VantageAdmin" -p bootFrozen
reboot
This execute correctly but it seems like the ARD doesn't recognise that it is done, so it continue running untill manually cancel.
I mean it execute correctly but the command remains in the active task on ARD. What can i do to make this execute and disappear from the active task to history?

Well one option is to break it up into two tasks.
task 1, send unix commands (without the reboot at the end)
task 2, user ard reboot command
Another option would be to que up the command on the client.
send unti command as user root
launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.atrun.plist
echo "reboot" | at now+1
the catch is that queing up a command, is that you don't know if the command did sucesfully triggure.
I've never tried to use at with deep freeze, so it would be a good idea to test the results before mass deploying.
the other thing is it can create 'mail'.

ITunes 10.5 sync doesn't finish iPhone 4S 5.0.1

When syncing my iPhone 4S 16GB 5.0.1 with itunes 10.5 using a Macbook Pro 10.7.2 it freezes at the last step 7 of 7. I had the same problem with iOs 5.0 and the update didn't change a thing. iTunes is still accesible, but it doesn't finish the sync. All I can do is deconnect the iPhone in the Devices of iTunes, but it give a warning that it is still syncing. When I check the iPhone and iTunes, everything seems to be ok and purchases and apps are either downloaded on the iPhone or iTunes.On the iPhone there is still the little wheel turning to indicate the sync and in iTunes there is the same little wheel next to the iPhone in Devices. Any idea anybody??

I'm experiencing this problem for the first time - frustratingly, while upgrading to a "new" (hand-me-down) 32GB 4G - on OSX 10.6.8. This phone has the iOS 5.0.1 update installed, I'm trying to restore my old phone's data from backup. All the data appears to be there up to mid-October (from looking at text messages), but the sync wasn't finishing. I hit "cancel," and now the cancel isn't finishing. I'm gonna leave it overnight, but I'm not expecting it to finish.

Battery doesn't finish

i reported a problem earlier in a previous post about my defective battery, as i said, it used to drain by itself after shutting down, and it only lasts maybe 45mins max.
Well, the problem now is the battery doesn't seem to finish, i've been using it for days now, and it stays 100%. Nothing much happened since my previous problem, except, i dropped the laptop once when it was in its protective bag, and the case got dented a little bit in the corner, the other thing is i travelled to a very cold country.
I am not upset that the battery doesn't finish, but why doesn't everything have to be weird, it either drains, or doesn't finish, can we like find a medium?

Go to an Apple Store and ask to have your battery tested.

Visually handicap, needs to increase font size in logic pro, Command doesn't work

Hi,
I'm visually handicapped, and new to logic-pro. I'm having a miserable time reading the internal logic-pro fonts. Command + doesn't work, and I can't find any preferrence or settings options that affect the default font sizes, any ideas?

Unfortunately you cannot change the font size of the main fonts in Logic...
However, there are a couple of other settings you may not be aware of...
1) Under Logic Pro's preferences... go to Display
Now you can change the size of the playhead and Local Windows under the General Tab
You can increase the size of the Logic plugin windows/fonts sizes under the Mixer Tab (I have mine set to 200%)
Note: This setting does not apply to 3rd party plugins.. only Logic's own plugins...
Under the Piano Roll tab you can change the size of Bar/Beats/Division Lines...
2) Using the screen zoom command... Hold down control and scroll on your mouse... will zoom in the screen...
Note: as you are using Mountain Lion there is also a new setting under System Preferences/Accessability
Choose Zoom on the left hand side
Now choose Zoom Style/Picture in Picture and instead of a full screen zoom it provides you with a magnifying glass of sorts to just magnify the area arund your mouse pointer. I find this setting very useful....
Hope this helps...

AMSCheck command doesn't seem to go through

With Adobe Media Server 5, we'd like to use the command "AMSCheck" to check the server status, etc., but this command doesn't seem to go through. We tried searching for it using the "find" command, but there was no result.
[root@hostname /]# AMSCheck --host hostname
-bash: AMSCheck: command not found
[root@hostname /]#
[root@hostname /]#
[root@hostname /]# find / -name *AMSCheck*
[root@hostname /]#
Can someone tell us what we're doing wrong?

It should be in <AMS-install-root>/tools folder e.g /opt/adobe/ams/tools if the installation was the default installation.
Also be sure of the case sensitivity of the file name on linux i.e
find / -iname *AMScheck*

HT1338 Safari Hide command doesn't work

Now my Safari 6.0 "Hide Safari" command doesn't work (whether clicking the command-H or going up under the Safari menu and down to the Hide Safari command.
Any suggestions anyone? I am about one more issue away from abandoning Safari altogether and just using Chrome and Firefox.

I've made a number of iWeb websites. I notice that I can't "Command +" the text larger or smaller. Is this a function of an iWeb site .. or is there something I'm missing?
What browser are you talking about? If Safari, is it the same with the other major browsers (Firefox and Opera)? Could you provide the url of an example?

Bash command doesn't work after update

I just ran pacman -Syu as normal, but some got many errors like below:
( 3/11) upgrading binutils
error: command failed to execute correctly
and every package except kernel-headers got a error message like that. and then i found most of my bash command doesn't work any more, just like ls and vim. However, some others like pwd and cd still work correctly.
Any one any ideal?

Yes.
I've done that before and got into the same problem when updating glibc, the lesson here, don't mess with the default directory structure.

Sudo trash command doesn't work

Last year I found a Terminal command for emptying large amounts of trash, quickly. Now, using that command doesn't seem to work. Can I be doing something wrong?
I pasted this into Terminal: "sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/*".
Afterward I typed my password, and Terminal showed a dollar sign and the grey rectangle. But two hours later, none of the trash has been deleted. What is my mistake?

Thanks Niel, but I am using it without the quotes. Could I be doing anything else wrong?
Here's how it looks.
(I only made the command once. The earlier ones were from before I restarted.)

Unhide library command doesn't work

Unhide library command doesn't work in terminal

Open the Terminal application in your Utilities and paste the following at the prompt:
sudo chflags nohidden ~/Library
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed.
The "sudo" may not even be required, but if it is and you don't use it, then you'll get an error message. Just try again using the above command.

Safari 6.0 command- doesn't work

Command+ works fine but command- doesn't work. I'm running 10.7.5

Just add the following to the file com.apple.WebProcess.sb.
Please add it below the Basic system paths and above the FIXME: or System and user preferences:
;; Plugins
(subpath "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins")
(home-subpath "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins")
And it's fixed!

Tabsontop console command doesn't work any more since v29.0.1

I used to be able to put the tabs on the bottom where they belong using the console, and now this command doesn't do anything. I don't want to use Chrome, I want to use Firefox, just make it a default option instead of making me root around in console settings that don't even work any more.

You do not need to install the Stylish extension to be able to do this.
You can easily create a chrome folder in the Firefox profile folder and a userChrome.css file in this folder with the code.
Note that you may need a higher number (CTR uses #TabsToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 100} and Tab on Bottom uses: #TabsToolbar {-moz-box-ordinal-group: 10000 !important;}) as there may still be toolbars around that use a higher value for this property.

Hp5530 doesn't finish print job

I have two computers, a win7 laptop and a win8.1 desktop. My 5530 is set up as a wifi printer and is next to my Linksys wireless router. Both printers wil print to the printer but often the print job doesn't finish - stopping in the middle of a page. The problem seems to be evolving in that for a few months the problem only showed up when printing from the win 8.1 computer. Now it happens with both computers, more and more often. I've reinstalled the drivers on both computers with no change in outcome. Please help.

Hello domeguy,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues with the Wireless connection.
I do have a few suggestions that we can try in the attempt to resolve this issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
I also suggest that you have the router more than 4' from the printer and less than 20'. This will be the range that you need to have the printer from the router to ensure a solid connection. If the Printer less than 4' from the router and will not be detected.
I have another suggestion. Try the HP Print and Scan Doctor on both computers. Let me know if you see any error codes or messages.
The last link I have for you deals with when the Printer Does Not Maintain Wireless Connection.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,

Lion Disk Utility doesn't finish erase

Since installing Lion (clean install) disk utility doesn’t finish erasing or partitioning external disks. I used the disk utility from the install drive to erase the internal drive before installing Lion, this worked fine, but ever since it failed to erase any of my external drives. It starts of as normal but the progress bar stops half way and just never finish. Disk Utility does respond.
I tried different format options, repair and verify but none of the processes finish.
I went back to the install drive that I used to erase the internal drive before Lion install and it also didn’t want to finish.
I copied the old disk utility from Snow Leopard to my desktop, it opens with a warning, but gives the same outcome.
Any advice?

I'm having the same problem on my late 2010 Air with Lion installed over Snow Leopard.
I've tried several usb memory drives and several external harddrives...all the same problem with the progress bar getting stuck halfway. wether I select 'partition' or 'erase'.
the 'genius' at the mac store told me that he advises a clean install of Lion. I did...or I thought I did but all my files were still in place and the problem was still there. Guess I will have to wipe the drive first.
Also, unable to repair permissions on the MAC drive.
But it is remarkable how few people seem to experience this problem thus far. A google search hardly returns any results.
