No Window Manager After Last pacman Update

Today, my xfwm suddenly stop to work after a system wide pacman update yesterday.
There seems no error in dmesg and Xorg.o.log. How can I debug now?

[Solved] Makepkg aborting after last pacman update

Hi all,
firing makepkg yields:
$ makepkg
==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting...
And therefore this happens also when I try building packages of the AUR with yaourt.
The problem showed up with last pacman update.
What I am I doing wrong?
Thanks for you patience,
Davide

IWork (Pages) does not work after last system update!

since some days (after last system update) iWork programms are not starting any more!
macosx 10.7.5 new update
solution atemd: cancel p-ram and p-list, re-installing iwork from DVD and update it from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1563
macbookpro 2.53 ghz intel core 2 duo, 8 gb ram
any body an idea what i can do to fix it?

hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config
cheers

Cannot access internet through itunes after last itunes update. Cannot get to itunes store or itunes help. Everything else works fine.

After last itunes update I cannot get to the internet through itunes. Cannot get to itunes store, itunes help, etc. Also, now when I sync everything syncs properly but I get message at end that tells me that my phone cannot be backed up on the laptop.

Something may be corrupt in your iTunes installation. The backup problem may or may not be related. The first step is reboot your system, disable your antivirus and firewall and try again. The next thing to try is completely removing iTunes and reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
Also, if you used TinyUmbrella or Recboot as unauthorized apps to help with the update they corrupted your network settings on your computer. You will have to edit your hosts file and remove all references to Apple servers.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update

when I start up or restart Mymac Pro CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update. Also I could not reinstall Mac OS Tiger because CD Tray open automatically every start up or restart. What's happen? Somebody help me! Please~

Hi.
If you have a USB keyboard and mouse, try unplugging them and then restart. If you have a Bluetooth set, remove the batteries and restart.
See what happens.
Good Luck.

Cannot start mac mini coreduo after last security update

Hi,
after last security update mac mini cannot see anymore the new 7200 rpm hddisk which worked like a charm since that…
When try to boot now I see only a question mark folder…
I can fix permissions via dvd, I can see the mac mini disk if i connet via firewire to another mac,
but cannot boot from it…
tried a kind of tech tool test: it seems that I've got a huge amount of corrupted .plist files…
How could that happen?
does it mean that it's not an hardware issue?
should I reinstall snow?
help me please

I thought that erasing was formatting as well;
no, it's not. there is probably something wrong with the partition map of the drive which is why your mac firmware does not recognize it as a boot drive when you restart. simply erasing the drive won't fix it. reformatting might.
anyway I'm reinstalling now, if doesn't work will try reformatting too…

Firefox extension: "TrueSuite 5.2.500.16" stopped working after last firefox update (30.0), even though about:plugin says it's enabled. Any fix to make it work?

Firefox extension: "TrueSuite 5.2.500.16" stopped working after last firefox update (30.0), even though about:plugin says it's enabled.
i tried resetting firefox and look for similar problems, unfortunately didn't find anything.
also there's weird blank space before address in address bar
other extensions and addons seem to be running fine.

jscher2000, i tried that, i thought it didnt work before, it's just that this time i accidentally closed (and thus restarted) firefox and it worked, thanks man

Difficulty with some sites after last Security update..

anyone else had any problems?
I've found that with my bank, and a couple of other sites like myspace, Safari keeps instantly coming up with 'server cannot be found' error, without even trying to access the sites. Sometimes shift-click/return does the trick (after 10 hits!) or I end up having to reset Safari, and it'll work for a couple of visits. And even then, once I've managed to get into the site, clicking links is a chance in itself, that I don't get the same error.
My mac at work was fine (didn't do the last Security update), and all this only started after the last update..
GAAAH!!!!

Terrible Problem, and I'm certain attributable to the latest Security Update. I have tried EVERYTHING, including deep system cache clearning, combined update, permission repairs, Purging ALL plugins from Safari, DNS cache reset... you name it. I am an EE, Mac User for 20 years, computer/Unix savvy, and am completely stumped, having tried EVERY trick in book short of the Windows Style "Reformat and Reload the Hard Disk." I can't log into gmail, or this site for that matter (using an old laptop presently). The problem occurs with the following common denominators: ASP page, Screen Name/Password dialog box, and then either a return to blank dialog page, or an endless string of redirects. THIS AFFECTS EVERY BROWSER I TRY, INCLUDING THE LATEST FIREFOX. Needless to say, this problem is driving me NUTS, and of course I can't get any help directly from Apple, since my laptop is over a year old. I doubt I would find tech help sophisticated enough anyway. Does ANYBODY have any suggestions? This is one of these maddening problems that can consume entire evenings. I wish I had never installed the latest security update.

After last maverick update macbook pro can't be shut down anymore - only by using the power button

Hello!
I hope that someone can help: after the last Maverick update I can't shut down the computer anymore - or restart. I need to use the power button. Furthermore several apps don't close when they are supposed to be closed - I always have to check with Force Quit. I could live with that, but not being able to shut down or restart the Mac is more than tiresome. Can anybody help?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". A shutdown stall report has a name that ends in ".shutdownstall". Select the most recent of each, if any. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. It's possible that none of these reports exists.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

IMovie 11 crashed after last software update

I have a MacBook Air (mid 2011) with last Lion update. After I mede this week sofware update iMovie 11 cannot open, it tries but crash after a few second. If I push reopen in the crash window report it crashed again. I read in this forum that is happening the same in MacBook Pro, with Lion and with Snow Leopard too. Any idea?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! That worked! I haven't used my iMovie in awhile and I wanted to edit a short clip when it started to act up and crash. Thanks to you I was able to follow you directions and everything is working fine now.

Time machine is non functional after last OS update

I am unable to back up my I mac. When I click on the TM button it brings up a prompt that says " You haven't selected a location for time machine backups". When i click "set up Time Machine" it brings up a new TM window that shows the TM is "off". When I click the option on the left that that says "select back up disc", it brings up a new window that has one option only "other Airport Time Capsule". If I click onto that it opens a new grey window with a globe on it and it says "no configured airport base stations have been found. Airport utility will continue searching". If I try to turn the TM to the on position it brings up the same window scenario described above. This worked fine since 2009 and with the last major OS update it went bad....
I was a pc guy before getting our macs and so this world is different, I have had NO problems with any of our macs since 2009, this is the first time and it started with the last OS update...our printer is not working either unless its hard wired to one of our 2 computers...again new issue since the last OS update. I have done a hard reboot on the Airport/TM and that didn't do anything. I wonder if it needs to be reloaded onto the IMAC, not really sure how to do that either.
Thanks for any help/consideration you could give. Peter

You need to do a full reset.. Yosemite wants to control and own everything.
1. Full factory reset.
Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
2. It will now show up in Airport Utility.
Redo the setup but do not accept apple recommended names.. use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
3. Wireless should have WPA2 Personal with pure alphanumeric password.
4. Your computer share name is well advised to be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. (just remember your windows days.. apple is now using windows networking by default.. they began in Mavericks. when did you problems start.. oh yeah.. in mavericks.. hmm.. connected?? I think so!!)
5. Make sure in network preferences for whatever connection you use IPv6 is set to link-local only.
6. Manually mount the TC in finder if you still cannot connect in TM. Do this using top menu, Go, Connect to server.
Type in AFP://TCname.local (TCname is your new short name.. local is default domain).
Or AFP://TCIPaddress (eg 10.0.1.1 the IP you can find by the summary on the TC in airport utility).
Type in and save the password for disk access in your keychain.. this is important.
7. If it stops the day after you set it up.. welcome to Yosemite.. reboot the TC.. make sure it is mounted in Finder and try again.
8. Use a replacement backup utility.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner to a USB drive.. much more reliable.

IMac doesn't work after last software update

After last Apple software update (new Safari and security stuff), my iMac 20"/2GHz enters in an on/off loop. It starts but it doesn't manage to load the OS, it shuts off, it restarts, it shuts off and so on.
Does anybody have the same problem?
Thks

Was your update download interrupted in any way? if so, then the computer is trying to find the downloaded files and because the download wasn't completed then it's causing the loop. That's exactly what happened to me. My computer was shutting off intermittent and it did on an update download, so it caused a loop at that's now your case, then never mind.
