"pacman" check for new packages, but without updating database.(SOLVED

Is there a way for pacman to tell you what packages could be updated but without changing your database? The reason I ask is that doing pacman -Sy is unsupported, as it could lead to old versions of a package being incompatible with news one of another. Basically, I am wondering if pacman has a way to tell you "what would happen" if I did pacman -Sy.

I don't understand why do you want to keep your pacman database out of date. It's not possible to install outdated packages, they are dropped from the repository when an updated version is uploaded.

Oh, the irony of referring to yourself as "myklthebrain". Make an appointment, at the nearest Apple store, with an Apple Genius, and hope that (s)he can sort it out.

Email checks for new email, but does not update

I have 2 Yahoo email accounts. Both are on my iPhone. One works properly, the other does not. I also have a MSN account on the iPhone that also works correctly.
1) When I open my email for the problematic Yahoo account, I get the message "checking for mail", & then it says updated as of a few days ago and no new email is displayed. I KNOW I have new email (by checking on my PC), but it does not appear on the iPhone.
2) I can send email to this account from the account. It appears in Sent, but NOT in Inbox
3) I deleted the account & then added it back, but that does not help. I rebooted after each step (i.e. after deleting the account, and after adding it back in)
4) I checked the settings for the Yahoo account that doesn't work, and they are the same as for the Yahoo account that does work.
5) The account works properly on my iPad & my wife's iPhone 4
I have not yet tried tearing my hair out, to see if that helps, but I'm hoping something less drastic will work.
I have an iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3

I'm having this problem as well. It seems like it was a more recent firefox update. I temporary solved this by deleting my sqlite keyfile as described in another post I found in a different forum, but it's since reoccured.
After I restart my system and run firefox, it's like it's running right after an update, or an install. None of my settings are saved, and password and cookies don't appear to be loaded either.
Is there any debug information I can provide?
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and Firefox 3.6.13.
Oddly if I close and restart Firefox it's fine. It's only after a Windows restart that I see an issue. Disk check runs clean. I've also deleted my profile directory and had FF recreate it. Still having issues though.

Hello Barry
Thanks for your reply, it did the trick, in a weird sort of way:
After deleting the mail preference file as you suggested, I could check for new mail messages without Mail.app crashing all over the place.
However all my accounts and the messages in them was gone. Okay, one problem solved and new one created.
Solution: Reinstalling my wifes and my own mail accounts and reimporting all the messages from the backup. Sounds boring right?
So I threw caution to the wind and replaced the new preference file with the old one that I had kept in the (disabled) folder. Thinking that it was an easily reversible step.
And it ruddy worked! Now I can again check for new mail messages and I have the old mail accounts intact. The logic of this however escapes me.
The morale: Its a weird world sometimes;-)
Thanks again for your help, it is much appreciated.
cheers Nikolaj

Software Update Stuck on "Checking for New Software..."

Not sure why, but today when I selected "Check for New Software" from the Apple Menu, Software Update started checking and does not proceed past that step. I've included a screenshot to show exactly where it's stuck.
http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/9536/picture1ss7.png
Thanks for any help you can give me.

You may want to go to the Apple Downloads site and download the update manually, then check the .dmg with Disk Utilities’ Verify Disk, and then run the update package.
Sometimes there is an internet interruption that can corrupt the download, especially using a modem or DSL.

Software Update wont check for new software.

Software Update wont check for new software.

No - I'm on 10.6.8 and it functions normally, though there are now very few actual updates. If there are no updates the progress bar should still complete in around 3 minutes and announce that there are no updates, so you've got something hanging somewhere. If it's still stuck hit command-option (alt)- escape, select Software Update and hit Force Quit. You could try it again (I should reboot first) in case it's a one-off glitch, but if it still sticks force quit it again.
The best suggestion I can offer is to apply the combo updater anyway in the hope that it may over-write whatever is causing the problem.

I am getting occasional Safari is out of date messages but checking for new software says "up to date".

weI am getting occasional Safari is out of date messages but checking for new software says "up to date". Initially we subscribed to Support but did not realize that it has expired. We have upgraded the OS once but have not received any notices of additional upgrades. So far I have not come across a way to update on my own.

I suspect this is the issue but wonder whether it is wise to upgrade my model:
Model Identifier: iMac11,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i3
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
Will it run it?

HT1338 My software updater freezes when "Checking for new software..." and then fans speed up.

Whenever I run software update, the blue bar freezes at about a fourth of the way across while "Checking for new software..." and then the fans sometimes speed up until I click Cancel. Sometimes it eventually completes "Checking for new software..." but when it does it is usually 45 minutes to an hour later. What gives?

If I reinstall the OS, will that jeopardize my data, docs or photo library?
No. Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and first select Disk Utility to repair disk permissions and the disk. Reboot and try the App Store again.
If that fails boot again into the Recovery volume again and reinsatll the system. Your data and photos will not be jeoparadized.

All content and data is forever associated with the Apple ID you used to download it. You should have reset the password for the original I'd.

Is it possible to keep an email account on the iPhone but stop if from checking for new mail?

I have an email account that has been deleted from the provider (Gmail), but I want to keep the old mails on my phone, while stopping it from checking for new mail. Is this possible?
If I disable the account to stop if from checking for new mail (and producing a bunch of annoying pop-ups every time the mail app is opened), the account becomes invisible and the old mails disappear. I want to keep them visible to I can read and refer to them, but want to stop the phone from trying to download new ones or check the account.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks for the thought. In this case, that doesn't really help much, as it requires a bunch of button pushing just to check emails. Plus, if I'm not mistaken, in addition to switching modes every time I check email, it also prevents the other accounts from downloading the most recent mails as well. Since it's possible to keep an account on a Mac computer, but take it offline, it's very disappointing if there isn't a way to do the equivalent on an iPhone so that it passively holds the mails but doesn't send constant pop-ups every time the app is accessed.

Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly. It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again. Any suggestions?

Try to force quit the mail app
Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

Hi all - any idea how to download songs from an old AOL iTunes account - have updated to Apple ID which is fine for new songs but didn't realise this wouldn't include the old songs. Have a 1st gen ipod with the original purchases on if that helps

....... is there a way for me to get my old music library (which was controlled by my dad's apple ID) onto my new mac, but from that point on, start using my own apple ID for purchases?........
Yes, once the content is in iTunes on your computer, just click it to play and authorise your computer to play it by entering your Dad's ID and password.
Log into your own account and start purchasing your own content which will then be added to the existing content.

Since the last update, hotmail no longer automatically checks for new mail. How do I fix it?

Hotmail used to automatically check for new mail regularly. It no longer does that. I have to click on refresh to get new mail.

Apple Software Update is stuck in the "Checking for new software..." phase

I installed iTunes+Quicktime using iTunes64Setup.exe and so ASU got automatically installed as well.
When I manually start ASU, it immediately checks for new software and the progress bar stalls at around 10%. I have not seen ASU run by the task scheduler yet.
Bonus: The ASU logo has weird colours (http://imagebin.ca/view/XN2-zrN.html)
Is anybody also having the same problem?

That's an odd one.
Have you tried a repair install of ASU?
Head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Software Update" and click "Repair".
Any help with the hang or the logo issue?

Can't check for new podcast episodes in iOS 5 Music app any more on iPad

Hi, in the old iPod app on the iPad, I could check for new episodes for podcasts and download them directly on the iPad. I haven't found this functionality in the new Music app. Is this gone? I liked it a lot when traveling with the iPad.
Or did I just miss on how to activate it?

I didn't know the iPhone still had it. But... the whole thing is a stupid joke anyway.
"Get More Eposides..." when viewing an individual epiosde is a petty excuse for a feature. What iOS really needs is an "Refresh" button just like iTunes, so I can update every podcast with one button and without leaving the Music app. Anything less is retar-ded.
5 iOS releases and I'm still waiting for this. And iOS 5 on iPad is even worse than the lame excuse for a feature we had before. The implementation of podcast subsrciptions on iOS feels like nothing more than an April Fools' joke.
I wouldn't mind but at this stage what we should really have is background download for podcasts on iOS ala Newsstand.
