Remastered ISO didn't work properly

I have installed Arch Linux yesterday and I falled in love with him
I tried to remaster Arch so I installed some packages and my modifications, but packages works only in livecd mode. When I installed my ISO, all my mods and packages dissapeared...
Why?!
I know I can add additional repo with my packages but I'd like have installed packages and modified files out of the box...

I remastered official Arch ISO. When I chrooted root-image I installed packages etc. I built the ISO, but my changes works only in livecd. When I installed my remastered Arch, all my changes gone.
And /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ is empty and there are no any traces of my modifications.

i have upgrade to yosemite but i think it doesn't work either
here is the example pict
thank you

I have the same problem with MBP 13" late2013. Would be nice to use pop art filter, but it is impossible 'cause of this.

Reformatted disk but restore didn't work properly, had to reinstall system and now having major kext errors

Basically I had to reformat my hard drive, and in order to do that I copied all the files from it to a disk image which I then used to restore through disk utility.
Now this worked as far as individual files go, but the OS for some reason didn't copy properly. After restoring from the image, the machine started up with an infinite pinwheel and apple logo, not going anywhere, so I eventually just reinstalled snow leopard from the original installer. This is fine as far as the system itself goes, but I'm having some very annoying issues - for one, some things which I had registered have reverted to trial versions (probably just a question of moving some preference files from the backup which got overwritten, shouldn't be too hard) but far more seriously, a bunch of kext extensions aren't loading, including one which is needed to run my external wifi antenna (the internal one is banjaxed, won't connect to any network unless you're sitting beside the router at all times).
Here's the console log. Why are these kexts not working, when they worked perfectly before the reformat? Still struggling to understand why copying the entire root dir to a disk image and then restoring from that image did not, as expected, yield an identical system, and why I even had to reinstall after doing this. But more urgently, how do I get these extensions working again? Using airport isn't sustainable, I can't sit on the stairs every time I want to use the internet

As you can guess, Ralink USB Wireless Driver is the one I'm having trouble with, although the other error you see, BoomDevice, is one of the apps which had been registered but has reverted to trial. The errors in console made me think it was a permissions issue, but repairing permissions, despite taking half an hour and modifying tons of files, did not resolve this issue.
How do I fix this, and also out of interest, why did it happen in the first place? I imagined formatting and restoring would be far, far less complicated than this O_o
EDIT: Should point out that obviously going from 10.6.8, the reinstall reverted to 10.6, and I haven't been able to upgrade since I can't get this internet kext working. Shouldn't be a problem though since the wireless driver was for 10.6.x...

Still struggling to understand why copying the entire root dir to a disk image and then restoring from that image did not, as expected, yield an identical system, and why I even had to reinstall after doing this.
Because there is a lot more going on under the hood than merely copying files.
The only way to do what you want is to use cloning software like Carbon Copy Cloner.
My advice is to rescue your personal files to a regular non-TimeMachine external drive, Zero erase the ENTIRE drive and install OS X fresh and update, then your programs from original sources and files from backup.
Then, make a bootable clone and you can copy that as many times as you want and each one is bootable.

How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6

Not sure why this didn't work properly.

So I programmed out a clock for practice/educational value for myself, and I got it near the end and encountered a problem. My program has 2 sets of class fields and a few temporary ones. The first set of class fields are text fields (hours, mins, secs) and the second set are Integers (h, m, s) (not int's ... Integers). I have two methods (setText and setTime) that convert between these two sets. setText sets the text fields to whatever time is stored in the Integers, and setTime sets the Integer values to whatever is stored in the text fields (assuming they're valid ints, of course).
The code that was behaving strangely is shown below between the large comment lines. I needed some way to update the time, so I first tried changing the Integer values and then calling setText() ... but it didn't work. So I then tried setting the text fields and calling setTime() and that DID work. The end result of both should be the same, and yet it wasn't. I was wondering why not? Can anyone help/explain?
I figure it has something to do with Integers and mutability, but that doesn't seem likely since they're both declared at the class-level and not within a method. I did some debugging of it (added System.out.println messages) and found out that the Integer value was changing, but then it was being reset back to what it was initially. bleh - I think I'm doing a bad job of explaining it. Anyway - here's the entire code below. It works correctly currently. But I left the bit of code in that wasn't working properly - just commented out. If you uncomment those and comment the 4 lines above them, you'll hopefully see what I'm talking about.

What does reading the text fields have to do with
setting the text fields? You can set their values to
anything you want. Look up MVC, which stands for
model-view-controller. The text fields should only be
used to display information from the model, which is
a Calendar. The controller is the timer which updates
the view with data from the model every second. I think you need to re-read everything that I've said up to now...
It started out the program WITHOUT a timer, where the user would type in some numbers in the text fields and the time the clock displayed would change to match what they typed in. I wanted to keep this behavior simply because I wanted to. I wasn't attempting to make an actual authentic clock. After I had the program working, then I wanted to enhance it so that it altered itself, as well as the user still being able to alter it. I suppose if I were going to program it again from scratch, I'd probably have the clock have some int's at the class level and use those to make the text fields and such. Anyway --- this program is not (and never has been) about keeping accurate time.
Creating a new object once a second isn't a big deal.
If you depend on the Timer frequency to keep time, it
will eventually drift and be inaccurate. Getting the
system time each update will prevent that. You're
updating the view based on the model, then updating
the model based on the view's values, then updating
the model. It's a much cleaner design to separate
those parts clearly. Since this is for your own
education you ought to start using good design
patterns. I know they drift apart. That's not what I was interested in. And, afaik, "good design patterns" come with experience ... which is something that takes time to build and something that I am gaining. I'm not looking for a critique of my code here - I'm looking for a simple answer of why one approach worked properly and one didn't.
Can you be more desciptive than "behaving strangely"?
What's happening?Did you read my original post?
One approach -> change the int's first, then update the fields.
another approach -> change the fields first, then update the int's.
One worked, one didn't.

My computer was wiped clean and my backup didn't work properly, can I get my purchases back?

I had a nasty virus and my computer was wiped clean.My backup didn't backup properly so I only have folders, no files Can I recover any of my itunes that I had purchased? If so how?

Yes. Set up the new iTunes on your omputer, utorize it, then just log in to the iTunes Store with the Apple ID you used and select Purchases fom the Quick Links side bar on the right. Go thru all the tabs to download again for free.

IPS 4240 : TCP Reset didn't work properly

hello all,
i've created new customer signature to reset for tcp string with testattack.
for testing, i've configured telnet password using testattack on router's line vty.
i've tried to connect to the router with testattack password.
i can see the popup message on the IEV but the telnet session can't disconnect.
i gueess, the telnet sessio shoud be disconnect due to the signature.
how can i configure to accoplish this test?

reagards,
John.

I had this issue when I was preparing for my
CCIE security back in 2006 with IDS version
4.1 so it may or may not apply to your
situation. I was using Cisco IDS 4.1 with
Catalyst 3550s:
RouterA is connected to F0/1 and vlan 4
IDS sensing interface is connected to F0/2
IDS C&C is connected to F0/3 vlan 2
IDS Sensing interface is connected F0/5
RouterX is connected to F0/4 vlan 3
objective: From RouterX, telnet to RouterA.
When prompt for username, type username.
When prompt for password, enter "abcd".
At that time, the IDS will send a tcp reset
to RouterX thus reset the connection.
On the catalyst 3550:
monitor session 1 source vlan 4
monitor session 1 destination interface f0/5 ingress vlan 4
that will do the trick.
what I also found out from my preparation of
the lab is that is that the IDS will send
reset about 80% of the time. It did not work
the other 20% of the time, even though I
clearly saw it sent tcp reset in the IDS
event viewer. I also confirmed this
by running tcpdump on the IDS itself (yes,
with a trick you can do this). I could
not figure out why it behaved this way.
I passed the lab shortly after that so I
never followed up with it. However, if you
see a reset in the IEV but the connection
itself is not reset, probably a bug.

HT1725 My Download didn't work properly as it only downloaded 30 seconds of it. i Have tried re-downloading but still persists. How do i solve this?

How do i download the full song?

iTunes 11:
Go to your TV show page and insure that "View->Show TV Shows in the Cloud" is enabled (note, if it *is* enabled, your available option will show "View->Hide TV Shows in the Cloud"; don't do that).
Right-click->delete the file. If it asks you if you want to delete it from the cloud (not sure with videos), say no. It will now show in your library with a cloud. Click the cloud to re-download it.
iTunes <11.
Delete file and go to "previous purchases" to download it.

Desktop Backgrounds not working properly in Aperture/Mountain Lion

If I set my desktops with the default Apple backgrounds, all works well. I can log out and back in and the backgrounds are retained.
If I use the "change desktop background" dialogue box and set the backgrounds to photos from the Aperture library, when I log out and back in, all the backgrounds have reverted to the standard Mountain Lion background.
If I open Aperture (in Desktop 2) and select a photo, I can do File/Share/Set desktop and that will change Desktop 2 (but none of the other desktops) to the current image. THEN if I restart, desktop 2 will have retained the background I've chosen.
I've spoken to the Apple tech support, but only the Mountain Lion people can help me. They tried repairing permissions, terminal commands and all sorts but it didn't work.
The guy on Aperture support sent me some standard articles but nothing specific, and as my copy of Aperture is more than 90 days old he can't help any further. I am running the latest version, 3.3.2. I've done all the basics like rebuilding the library and repairing permissions etc... I've deleted the aperture preference file, and the desktop preference file. All to no avail.
Anyone help? Please!
Thanks,
Mark

Success! Well sort of. I went into Mission Control Preference Pane (in System Preferences) and fiddled about with a few ticks. The one that seemed to make the difference was the one called Show Dashboard As A Space. Make sure it's ticked. This is a bit of a bummer if you want multiple desktops with different personalised photo backgrounds but you don't want the dashboard as a space. It's still a fault Apple! So if someone finds this solved their issues then please don't mark the post as "this solved my problem", maybe just "this helped".
Because the issue is not resolved for those who don't want the dashboard as a space - those people can only have Apple's own backgrounds on their desktops! And it is worth point out that without the Show Desktop As Space box ticked, even with Mission Control set to just one background, the Aperture photo would not be reatained through log out and restart etc. AND the actual Desktop/Screen Saver preference dialogue box didn't work properly, taking ages to select a picture and the picture not changing on the background itself until the user threatens to exit the box. As I say though it all went swimmingly with the Show desktop as space box ticked.
Dear oh dear Apple, with every step "forward" you take there's always the odd lurch backwards into the murky days of Windows 1.0!

After updating iso 6.1.3 in my 4s my phone is not working properly

After updating iso 6.1.3 my 4s is not working properly the main problem is touch is not working properly and battery problem also there pls anyone have some solution

IOS 6 has had a lot of issues to date. I have a possible solution to offer but I cannot be sure it will work. Two ideas.
1. Reset the phone: hold the lock button and home button in at the same time for 10 seconds. This does nit erase anything, it's basically like rebooting a computer.
2. Factory reset: Hook up to a computer and go to iTunes. Sync the phone (if possible). Once synced, in the summary screen select factory reset (or may be another name, I'm working from memory) it's right beside update software. This will completely reset the phone, you will need to restore it after the reset it complete. I don't know if this will help you, but it may. I hope you can fix it, good luck!!!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
A green light means that your battery is full or that it can't be detected. If you can't start up the Mac, probably your logic board or battery aren't working.
Take the MacBook to an Apple Store or reseller to get your battery or logic board replaced. If the MacBook is in warranty, this repair will be free

You formatted your computer's hard drive? If so, it's like starting with a new computer unless you restored all of your content from a backup but it does;t sound like that's the case.

WRT1900 AC V1 - Linksys is aware that the router is not working properly. Help spread the word.

I just had a conversation with Linksys' Customer Service via chat: Daphne L. J: Hello Fernando Paramo. My name is Daphne L..
Daphne L. J: Welcome to Linksys Global Chat. Is this your initial contact or do you have a case number?
You: Case number is 04971062
Daphne L. J: Please give me 3-5 minutes to pull up and review your case.
You: OK
Daphne L. J: Thank you.
You: I have a WRT1900 AC, V1. The router is not working properly. I have disconnections every few minutes.I already installed the new firmware version and I still have the same issues. I already reset the router to factory defaults and same issues. I have changed the settings back to my personal preferences: Changed the SSID, changed the wireless security settings, changed the DNS and deactivate WPS. That's it.I'm using 5 Ghz mode with my laptops (5 Ghz adapters) and 2-4 Ghz with a few devices (Chromecast, Nintendo 3DS).
Daphne L. J: Thank you for waiting.
Daphne L. J: Please confirm if the following information is correct:
Name : Fernando Paramo
Phone Number :
E-Mail Address :
Model Number : WRT1900AC
Serial Number : 13J10609406280
Country : United States
You: That's correct.
Daphne L. J: Okay. Were you able to check if the devices have stable connection wired to the router?
You: No. I do not have devices with Ethernet ports. Well, only the cable modem.
You: But the modem is fine. No disconnections from my ISP.
You: It is the router.
Daphne L. J: Alright. What is the current firmware version of your router?
You: I tried to return the router to Wal-Mart yesterday with no luck. This is a useless device. And I have been reading comments on the community forums and a lot of people are having problems.
Daphne L. J: We are actually aware of the issue and are working on a resolution. What is the current firmware version of your router?
You: Ver. 1.1.10.167514
You: Latest one.
Daphne L. J: Yes, so you reflashed the firmware, reset and then manually reconfigure it after, not using backup configuration, is that right?
You: That's correct.
Daphne L. J: And it is intermittent on all devices connected to both 2.4 and 5 Ghz networks, is that right?
You: That's correct.
Daphne L. J: Thank you for the information. Please give ,e 3-5 minutes to verify this with my superior.
Daphne L. J: Thank you for waiting.
You: I want to send you my WRT1900 AC and get a V2 or I want a EA8500 and pay the difference myseld.
You: I do not want my current hardware.
You: It is useless for my needs.
You: I can't believe I had an older E3000 that didn't give me any problems.
Daphne L. J: We have already exhausted all possible troubleshooting steps for your concern. As verified with my Supervisor, we will forward your case to our Customer Assurance Team. They are highly technical and knowledgeable when it comes to advanced troubleshooting. They will contact you in the next 24 to 48 hours. By the way, who is your Internet Service Provider? And do you Cable or DSL connection?
You: Cable connection.
Daphne L. J: Who is your Internet Service Provider?
You: A company called .
You: How are they going to contact me?
Daphne L. J: Alright. By the way, on the device itself, on its FCC ID, please check if you have WRT1900AC or WRT1900AC v2.
You: Are you paying attention to me?
You: I already told you it's V1.
Daphne L. J: They will call or email you. Please double check if these informations are correct:
Name :
Phone Number :
E-Mail Address :
You: I told you I want to send you my WRT1900 AC and get a V2 or I want a EA8500 and pay the difference myself.
You: I want them to contact me to my email. I can't answer the phone during work hours.
Daphne L. J: We can't assure you if we will be able to replace it with Version 2 or if you are allowed to have the EA8500 instead.
Daphne L. J: Just in case, do you also have an alternate number?
Daphne L. J: Also, what time zone are you in? And what is your preferred time and day for them to contact you?
You: I have the one from my office in Mexico. Central Time. Any time is good.
Daphne L. J: So, you are currently in Mexico?
You: I work in Mexico but I have the house in USA. I live in the border.
Daphne L. J: I see. Do you have any other questions or clarifications?
You: I live 10 minutes away from the International Bridge. But that's not an issue. I bought the router at Walmart in Laredo, TX.
Daphne L. J: Thank you for the information. Would that be all for now?
You: I want a clarification: Do you realize that there is an issue with the current WRT1900 AC? Are you aware of that?
You: Because this is a very expensive router that is not working as it should be.
Daphne L. J: Yes, we are aware of the issue and are working on a resolution.
Daphne L. J: Would there be anything else you need?
You: That would be it. I will wait for you to contact me.
You: Thanks.
Daphne L. J: Alright. Thank you for giving us an opportunity to serve you through Linksys Live Chat. You may also visit our support site at www.linksys.com. For your reference, your case number is 04980394. Thank you for choosing Linksys and have a great day! We paid $250 for this piece of equipment. That's a lot of money for a device that doesn't work. I just want to get a V2 replacement, or better yet, an exchange for a EA8500. We should all demand this. It is not fair for us. The current WRT1900 AC is a useless device. They even should do a recall of the product. I will wait for them to contact me, but I'm thinking if I should send the information to The Consumerist or someone else. What to do?

Well... instead of looking into this with Engineering, I would prefer you to talk about this with the Sales department and exchange my WRT1900AC for an EA8500 (I will pay the difference if needed). Seriously. The device is useless. Not just a paperweigt... an expensive paperweight.Actually I looking into the swap for you because I think that would be best in your case. Keep this in perspective. There is laterally millions of WRT1900AC V1 out there with very few issues with latest firmwares and of course the odd exception. In your case it could be a defective WRT1900AC.

Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

My Safari doesn't work properly after installing Lion. Don't like it, how can I uninstall? (Cloud not worth it)?

I upgraded ti Lion 10.7.2 for icloud but it's causing other problems with my mac. My Safari doesn't work properly anymore. Wishing I didn't upgrade, anyone know how to fix this or do i just have to uninstall? Thanks,

Wipe the drive clean and install Snow Leopard from your install disk.
Might be less work fixing Safari. Try Resetting Safari.

Remastered ISO didn't work properly
