Problems after trying to install gnome-session-compiz

Hi, as explained here i've installed gnome-session-compiz, but i forgot to install compiz-fusion before that.
now, if I try pacman -S compiz-fusion-gtk, pacman outputs something like this (i'm translating from italian):
Warning: impossible to resolve "compiz-core=0.9.2", a dependency of "compizconfig-python"
Warning: impossible to resolve "libcompizconfig=0.9.2", a dependency of "compizconfig-python"
:: The following packages can't be updated due to unsolvable dependencies:
ccsm fusion-icon
Do you want to ignore these packages for this update? [y/N]
If I press "y" pacman downloads and installs only these packages:
compizconfig-backend-gconf-0.8.4-1 compiz-bcop-0.8.4-1
compiz-fusion-plugins-main-0.8.6-1
compiz-fusion-plugins-extra-0.8.6-2 emerald-0.8.4-2
emerald-themes-0.6.0-3
which I suppose are the remaining packages of compiz-fusion-gtk.
Before pressing "y" I tried to uninstall gnome-session-compiz (pacman -Rcs gnome-session-compiz) but the result is the same.
What should I do?
Thanks!

Did you run Repair Permissions in Disk Utility? That won't restore everything by itself, but it would be a good first step. I run Repair Permissions before and after all System, security, and software installations.
Is there a reason why you don't want to install iLife '08?
You can download and install the last version of iMovie HD (from iLife '06), if you have iLife '08 installed.

ITunes problems after trying to install Windows XP service pack 2

Hey guys, I've been having trouble with my iTunes among other programs recently, and I was wondering if anyone might be able to help. Basically, my iTunes has been acting strangely ever since I tried upgrading my Windows XP system with Service Pack 2. When it ran through installation, it got all the way through. However, once I rebooted the computer, it told me it was unable to complete due to an unstable system. So it told me to uninstall the software, and I removed it from my program list.
Unfortunately, once I complete removed it from my hard drive, several programs on my machine started to malfunction. Now, whenever I try to play iTunes, it just stops working all of a sudden along with the rest of the sound software on this computer.
The big problem is, I forgot to back up my system before I did all this, so now I'm worried that I'm stuck with this dysfunctional hybrid of a computer system. So now, I've tried reinstalling the old Service Pack 1 onto the computer, but it always seems to cancel in mid-installation.
I know this is probably of a topic that should be posted, on an XP forum, but I was hoping that maybe someone on here might be able to give me some advice on how to solve this problem. If not for my computer, than perhaps at least for my iTunes trouble.
Thanks to all who might be able to help.

The reason I would think your iTunes stopped working is because your system is no longer compatible as iTunes requires Windows XP SP 2 in order to work properly.
If you want to back up your iTunes content then I would suggest opening My Documents>My Music and choose the whole iTunes folder and move it to an external drive. That is normally where all your content is saved, unless you didn't have 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library' selected in iTunes then you might want to use the whole My Music folder as your backup.

ITunes fails to load. Message is Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services. Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade

iTunes fails to load. Message is "Service Apple Mobile Device failed to start. Verify you have sufficient privileges to start system services." Never had this problem before trying to install this upgrade. How do I fix this?

Dave, same problem here. And I did go in as admin to Administrative Tools, Services, Apple Mobile Devices and tried restarting the service. It seems there is a bug with the newest update, period. All of the normal "easy" steps don't work. Before I remove all of Apple's programs, including Bonjour....I'm running a full system scan.
But the answer will be to remove all of the Apple stuff, then reboot, then use whatever utility you have to remove all temp files...then go download and install it again. This has worked for several people (I read the thread before posting). Win 7 64bit. It just seems that Apple did not thoroughly test this new version. Period.
If Apple reads this...I have many computers...and whenever Apple wants to update something...it just about stops everything else that is going on. Total memory hog, even with 16G RAM and dual quad core processors. It has to learn to play nice with others.
After the scan and I'm sure an hour or two of work...I'll re-post.
Of course if you do image back-ups, as I do, you can simply restore your drive to its previous state and run the previous version of iTunes, declining the update, until Apple gets it right. Depending on the size of your drive, this could take hours. It is a matter of choice, of course.

After trying to install Mavericks, got an error message my hard drive was bad.

After trying to install Mavericks, got an error message my hard drive was bad. Took it in to the Apple Store and the 'Genius' bar guy couldn't see it as an external drive when he connected another Macbook. If I get another hard drive what's involved in getting my system operational again?

Ipod won't work after trying to install Paid 2.0 update

I bought the 2.0 update for my 16 gig ipod touch. After trying to install the update through itunes half way through the update it gave me the message "The ipod could not be restored. An Unknown error occured (6)." I tried to do a restore on the ipod it it does the same thing. Can anyone help? Now after paying for an update I have an ipod that doesn't work at all.
I tried doing a restore using the old software on a different itunes library and get the same error message.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Larry

ok i have figured out how to fix this problem!! it is simple. make a new account on your computer. Now use the itunes on that account and just plug ur touch in and restore it. It will restore it to the software 1.1.4 . now just go back to your main account on ur computer and plug ur touch in once again and it will restore it to its original settings and sync all your songs and videos and the rest.
I followed the above instructions. Let Itunes 7.7 set itself up on the new account and downloaded the update. The first attempt didnt work but the second attempt after I rebooted the PC I logged in on the new user and booted up Itunes.
When that had finished faffing about I connected the USB cable into another USB port (above the one its just come out of if you get my drift) and it started extracting the software for Restore then it started prparing the ipod for for restore and then started uploading the software to the ipod in which it had not done it before. As I type it has just finished synching the ipod with my current Itunes library on my default windows account.
I am running the update but will have to enter my contacts details again but hey thats no big deal.
So I hope you all get yours to work.

Problem while trying to install OVI suite

Hi, guys! How you doing? I've got a problem while trying to install OVI Suite: I'm getting a warning signal that says "Something got wrong - Nokia Ovi Suite installations require that PC Connectivity solution 7.0.0.0 or a later version to be already installed before continuing installation" and I can't install after that. I've been searching at Google, but I have found nothing. Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance.

No sound after trying to install audio unit

After trying to install M-Tron and failing, G Media instructed me to dump M-Tron and start over. Now I have no sound at all from Garageband. Any suggestions? Do I need to reload Garageband and if so, how? it came w/the iMac.

Software inst., previous soundfiles, loops. The volume indicator shows a good strong signal playing. It is just not making it to the speakers which are working when I play something on iTunes. Garageband was playing fine a couple of days ago so I'm thinking is that it is a Garageband problem possibly caused by my problems with loading M-Tron.

Mac won't power up after trying Leopard install. Black screen of death.

After trying to install an upgrade from Tiger, the installer said that if I wanted to continue, it would install a new volume and erase all my data. That sounded bad, so I hit cancel and chose quit installer from the menu bar. My mac asked which OS I wanted to use to restart my computer, and naturally I chose Tiger, not Leopard. My mac tried to restart and I got the apple logo and the little wheel spinning and then...off. Shut Down. Happens every time I hit the power button. Logo, wheel, off. I was on the phone with apple support for 2 hours and they sent me to a store finally. There they said it was a problem with file corruption on my computer. Not Leopard. They said they were having no problems with Leopard except for people trying to install it on an older model and similar issues. HELP!

This doesn't sound good at all . . .
Did the Apple store test your power supply? It would be good
to know that the basic hardware functions properly.
And did you try booting from your Tiger install DVD? Assuming
you can get this far, run Disk Utility from the DVD and check the
disk - if it finds bad stuff on your disk, and can't fix it, you
probably do have a corrupted disk. The only solution may be to
reformat the disk - hope you had a backup copy . . .
A big guess on my part is this happened when you hit Cancel on
the install.
If you have Apple Care (and everyone with a laptop should have
it), take it to the store, and let them fix it. You'll have a
nice, clean 10.4.10 on it (or Leopard if you want), and you can
start over . . . :^(
Good luck . . .

Printing Problems after Reader 10 install

Recently deployed Reader 10 to about 300 workstations using Group Policy. Several machines are no longer able to print to some of the network printers. These printers are HP printers using the Universal Print Driver. When trying to print we get an error and the Adobe Reader application crashes. It will however print to other network printers that are using an older device specific driver, printing to the same print device. Have downloaded the latest HP driver, but it has not helped the situation. The printing worked fine with Reader 8 and Reader 9.   Anyone with an Idea?

Sorry only know Windows: Edit (menu)>Preferences>General>Application Startup>Enable Protected Mode at startup.

Itunes wont open after trying to install 11.1.4??

iTunes will not open after trying to install 11.1.4 version ??

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

After trying to install update on MacAir error message and then message saying panic (cpu caller 0xffffff800a859241): "Unable to find driver for this platform: \"ACPI\".... I'm worried as all of my work is on my computer and I'm afraid I will lose it all.

I am totally worried I am going ot lose all my data after trying to install update on MacAir. Cannot do anything error message saying panic ....."Unablet o find driver for this platform."

Hi Guys
No good news I'm afraid. I have been through ALL the system caches and files that were updated at the time of said issue. Reset - rebuild and even gone back to my TimeMachine copy from earlier this AM. Nothing! Can only assume it is something deeper in the /usr or var or private folders.....
I have cloned the system and core files (/usr, /private) etc etc to an external HD and it still recreates the fault. I am afraid to say I have no more time at the minute to look at so have put my machine back to 2 hours prior via my TimeCapsule.
I the absense of anyone else or, indeed, Apple fixing in the next 12 hours, will get back onto it from the cloned copy I have kept and see if I can find the offending file/files...
Sorry I don't have an immedaite solution.

After trying to install 6500 Wireless all-in-one on my 3rd comp, it ceased to work

While trying to install my (less than 2 year old) HP6500 Wireless all-in-one software on my 3rd networked computer, the software installation went into a loop and would not complete the installation. After about an hour or so of waiting, I physically had to unplug the printer & eject the CD. Upon doing so, the printer became next to useless. The printer key pad no longer functions except when I first plug it in, and I can no longer access it from the other 2 original computers, even with USB. The HP solution center says it’s on line, until I go to print via USB, then it says it’s offline. I can hook the USB up on the Widows 7 unit and force it to print Word Office documents, but when I try to print documents on it from either Internet Explorer or Fire Fox it wants to send a Fax??? I've uninstalled and reinstalled the software 3 times on my Windows 7 unit now to no avail. Is it my printer, the printer Firmware or what? I have downloaded and run all the HP & Microsoft troubleshooting tools on the Windows 7 unit to no avail. However; HP downloads will not successfully complete on my XP unit. What should I do? Should I start over with a new wireless printer?
Totally Confuzed

Ref: 02-23-2012 08:53 AM
12:38 AM 2/24/2012 UPDATE ON WHAT I HAVE TRIED AGAIN:
1. Power Reset on the Printer: Power off the printer. Unplug the power cable from the back of the unit. Wait 60 seconds. Replug the power cable to the printer and power it on. DONE
2. Print a test page: Follow this document to print the test page. PRINTER SCREEN SAYS IT'S PRINTING AND THE POWER LIGHT IS FLASHING LIKE IT'S BUSY, BUT NOTHING IS HAPPENING. ONLY WAY TO USE IT NOW IS TO UNPLUG IT AND START OVER. THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME NOW. IT WILL NOT PRINT TEST REPORTS.
3. Create a copy of the printed test page. CANNOT DO NOW - (PRINTER FREEZES UP WITH A BLINKING POWER LIGHT)
4. Print the Wireless Network Test Report (To check if there are any errors) CANNOT DO
Press the Setup button ( ). DOESN'T WORK EXCEPT MOMENTARILY...NOT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE A SELECTION BEFORE IT HANGS AND FREEZES UP...
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to select Network Setup, and then press the OK button. CAN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING PRESSING THE OK BUTTON.
Press the Right Arrow button ( ) to select Wireless Network Test , and then press the OK button. The Wireless Network Test Report prints. CAN'T GET IT TO DO ANYTHING PRESSING THE OK BUTTON.
If you did not encounter any errors while performing the steps above then I think the hardware is OK. Test the software next. Let's use Windows 7 as the test platform. I DON'T THINK THE HARDWARE IS OK.
1. Download the driver from HP.com. Once it gives you the option to either Run or Save make sure to select Save and then select Desktop as the target location where it will save the file. This is just to make it easier to find it. Once it finishes downloading the file, double click it to initiate the installation process. Follow the on screen instructions until you reach the "select how you want to connect the printer" window comes up. I ALREADY HAVE 3 COPIES ON MY DESKTOP & NONE OF THEM REACT ANY DIFFERENTLY.
2. At the "select how you want to connect the printer" window select USB and then click Next (I think there is a next button). It should asks you to connect your printer but we are NOT going to do that. Place a checkmark on the option on the bottom of the window that gives you the option to bypass the connection phase of the installation. Click Next to proceed. Once the the installation process completes, restart your computer. I HAVE DONE IT BOTH WAYS BEFORE AND CANNOT GET THE INSTALLATION TO COMPLETE ON ANY OF THE 3 COMPUTERS NOW.
If you did not encounter any errors at this point then it looks like the software installation process is good. Proceed to the next test. END OF TEST FOR TONIGHT. THANKS
1. After the computer completely boots up, connect the USB cable to the printer and to the computer. The computer should detect the printer and initiate the HP installation process for it. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the install.
2. Try printing to test functionality.
