this happens over and over and over again. it wants to upgrade 'file' i tried deleting the cache, that didn't seem to help. i didn't see anything bad in the log file either. any clues?

with the help of judd i was able to fix this issue, it was an old file directory in the pacman directories.

I just upgraded to Lion. When I import photos it imports the same photo over and over. Not even one of the photos selected!! Do you know how to fix this?

I just upgraded to Lion. I just installed iLife'11 last night. When I import photos into iMovie (version 9.0.4.) , it imports the same photo over and over as if it were the ones I selected. Not even one of the photos selected!! The thumbnais show that unselected photo, if I preview then I just see the preview screen all black.
I even tried making an iPhoto album and importing straight from there. Exact same thing. I have restarted the application, restarted the computer, and googled half-to-death. No answers.
Do any of you know how to fix this?
I am working on OS X Lion (10.7.1) , a 2009 15" MacBook Pro. 4GB Memory. 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. 4GB Memory 1067 MHz DDR3.
Hope someone can help!!!

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

File sending failed repeats itself over and over (...

I keep getting this error where "file sending failed" sound keeps playing at random intervals. Months ago there were some files that failed to send but it keeps notifying me of this over and over. This is definitely a defect of some kind. I hear the sound, I go to Skype, there are no new messages whatsoever. It then plays the sound 3-4 more times and goes quiet for a while. Truly a weird defect.
Laptop is a Lenovo T420. I'm just trying to figure out if this affects other computers as well.
Lenovo T420

Using Windows Registry Editor (regedit) open this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Skype\Phone
What settings do you see set in the right hand panel?
Can you see anything similar to this?

Sync from iPhone to iCal on MacBook has failed since the latest iPhone upgrade, yesterday. It's worked in reverse, and all other sync operations appear to have worked. Any solutions, that I may not have already tried (over and over)

(Sorry, first time user of these forums, and it's confusing in it's own right)

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

I upgraded to 4.3.3 and now my iPod touch music won't shuffle. When I press shuffle it keeps replaying the same song over and over.

There are two arrows below the time a song is plays. One is circular (repeat) and the other has two arrows crossing each other (?). The one going circular needs to be pressed to turned it off.

When downloading a file it keeps downloading and creating a tab over and over; I can't get it to stop

When I try to download, the downloads window opens and it starts downloading, but continues to downloading the same thing over and over, creating numerous of tabs.....I have to manually stop it.
What do I need to do to fix it.....it started this right after I updated Firefox.

Aperture forgets it license and asks me for the serial number over and over again

Hi,
This is getting ridiculous to the point where I'm thinking of just ditching Aperture. It's continually forgetting is license and asking me for the serial number over and over again. I have the original serial number and an upgrade number when I upgraded to v3, but right now, it's not accepting either of them. What's going on and how do I fix it permanently?
Thanks,
Rob

Rob, have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4.3? This is supposed to have fixed the serial number problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1610
About Aperture 3.4.3
Addresses an issue that could cause a licensed copy of Aperture to prompt for a serial number with each launch
Be sure to enter the serial number, when you are logged in from an account with Administrator priveleges - otherwise can it not be stored.
Aperture is installed for all users on your mac, so the serial number is written to the system library, not the user library, and this requires read/write access for administrators. Do you enter your serial number using an administrator account?
When did this start? Have you migrated your system from from another mac? Then you still may have an older ProAppSystemID file or Aperture cannot write to the System Library.
To stop Aperture asking for the serial number, first check, if you still have an old file "ProAppSystemID" in your System Library.
Quit Aperture.
Go to your MacintoshHD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.
Sometimes Aperture writes this file to a temporary directory, when it cannot write to the Library. If the above does not work, look at the temporary directory /tmp
Use the Finder's "Go" menu
Go > Got to folder and enter /tmp into the textfield. If you see the file there, move it to its proper location.
In this case you may want to repair the permissions on your system drive; you can do this using the "First Aid" tools in "Disk Utility" (located in Applications > Utilities)

Itunes v 11.1.5 keeps installing over and over

When I install itunes v 11.1.5 it goes through ok, the program works but I keep getting the apple software update asking if its ok to install the same version. I have said yes about five times and it keeps installing it over and over. How do I check the version on my itunes and how do I stop this update for the same version I supposedly already have?

Hey rvrivas!
This article will tell you how to find out which version you are using in iTunes:
iTunes: How to find which version you are using
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1208
If you are already upgraded to the newest version and the issue continues, you may need to completely uninstall and reinstall iTunes on your computer, a process which affects your iTunes software but leaves your music files intact:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Session "Microsoft Security Essentials OOBE" stopped due to the following error: 0xC000000D using win 7 64bit over and over BSOD
My event viewer has been coughing the error line above. It has lead to the feeling of a Carotid Artery leak of memory where my whole
system slowly stops working till BSOD. Windows Explorer just stops working then Death.
I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MORE AND MORE, AND IT APPEARS TO BE A PROGRAM PROBLEM, ANYBODY ELSE HAVE THIS.
IT HAS COST ME 2 DAYS WORK NOW.

Hi,
When does the issue begin to occur?
Since Windows system uses separated user mode and kernel mode memory space, stop errors are usually caused by kernel portion components, such as a hardware device,
third-party drivers, backup software or anti-virus services (buggy services).
Please refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Boot the computer in
Clean Boot for a test.
2. Temporarily disable all unnecessary hardware devices in Device Manager, such as Modem, sound card or external device.
For detail steps, we can refer to the link below:
Device Clean Boot
3. Upgrade the virus definition, run antivirus program and perform a full scanning.
If the issue persists, please upload the minidump file (%systemroot%\minidump) to SkyDrive (
www.skydrive.live.com ), then share the link to me. I will be glad to assist you to analysis the data.
Thanks,
Novak

Install Disc 2 of Panther Repeats Over and Over?

Attempted to upgrade an older 800 MHz iMac running 10.2 to Panther, using Panther's Install Discs. After apparently successful install of disc one, the optimization froze at 17% and I had to force quit. When I restarted, the installer window came up and asked for disc 2, but the install seems to be installing over and over. Should I try installing Disc 1 again and hope that the optimization doesn't freeze this time? Is it possible that's related to the install loop disc 2 is showing?
PS My previous post articulated what happened when I tried to upgrade 10.2 to 10.2.4 off of Apple's website : I got the blue screen. That is when I decided to see if I could install Panther. Maybe my problems started with the 10.2.4 download?

Hi, WB.
Maybe my problems started with the 10.2.4 download?
Quite likely. When an update fails, it's usually because something the updater expects to find in a particular place or condition is not found in the expected place or condition. This can be because the user has moved or altered it, or the hard disk directory has been corrupted or damaged by a forced restart, power outage, or other untoward event. So it's always advisable to run all the standard maintenance and Disk Utility repair procedures, and generally make sure your HD and file structures are in the best possible shape, before applying any software update — particularly an OS update.
If you performed an OS X 10.2.4 update that wasn't completed successfully, and then you tried to perform an Upgrade Install of OS X 10.3, the 10.3 Installer undoubtedly found your previous Jaguar installation in disarray — quite possibly scrambled enough to prevent the updating or replacement of some of its files. That would likely result in the 10.3 installation failing too, leaving you with an unusable mix of updated and outdated OS components.
Try using the Archive & Install method of installing OS X 10.3 instead of the Upgrade Install method. If that fails too, you'll have to back up your data and then perform an Erase & Install.

Voice memos keeps emailing the same memo over and over.

I used voice memos just once two days ago. I created a short (30 secs) memo and emailed it to my yahoo account. The file keeps getting sent to my inbox. 20 times so far! I've deleted it from voice memo but it keeps getting sent. HOW DO I STOP IT! Anyone else had this problem? I'm with virgin mobile in Australia.

I have had this exact same problem. Over the past few days I've been e-mailed the same voice memo at least 50 times. I also have a yahoo account, maybe this has something to do with it. I even deleted the voice memo from my iPhone but it continues to be e-mailed over and over.
I don't have a solution, just wanted you to know it's happened to me too.

Data acquisition time not continuous, but starting over and over again

Hi,
My data acquisition time is not continuous but loops over and over
again. Could someone please take a look at my vi to see if you
have any thoughts on how to fix this. Also, I tried to set up my
vi so that I could take the mean of the signal at any time I
choose. However, at the same instance that the data acquistion
time "starts over" again, the mean is calculated (before I trigger it to take the mean)
I have attached my vi and my output file as a text file so that what
I'm trying to say will (hopefully) make a bit more sense.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi,
Thanks for responding to my question. Attached is the vi with added
comments as to what I think I am doing. By DAQ time, I mean the
first column of data that is in the data file that I attached
previously. I am only simulating a signal (at the beginning) so
that I can program in my office. I do, however, have the same
problem as stated above when I change the simulate signal to DAQmx
using my instrument.
I hope this clearer. If not, I'll try again.
Thanks so much!

Ive uninstalled and re-installed over and over, firefox crashed like a week ago, everytime i try and open it, it wont it puts up the crash box again and again. why? pleez can you help my firefox will not load.

everytime i try and open firefox it crashes i click to restart it and send report but its the same thing over and over nuthin changes, i used firefox up till like week ago now it will open period.

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.
