[solvd]Forgot sysvcompat on changing to systemd, and can't edit kernel

Hi all, I am having the same problem as here
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=146388
though I am using GRUB2. (I.e. I forgot to install sysvcompat.) However, when I hit `e' on boot, nothing happens (excet the coutdown to automatic boot disappears), so I can't edit the kernel options. If I press `Enter' after `e' then it proceeds with normal boot, which is unsuccessful. Can antone help? (At this stage, I have no live media/rescue CD).
Cheers!

Incidentally, you can create a custom keymap for grub2, but the process is convoluted and the resultant keymap doesn't work as well as it should (e.g. holding down the right arrow key to move the cursor in edit mode generates gibberish after a couple of seconds). Still, you may find it useful for minor edits to the kernel parameters/etc. at boot

HT4993 Forgot apple password, changed it my wife can get into on her phone and on the ipad but I cannot get into the apple account from my phone. What do I need to do?

We forgot Apple password, changed it. I can't get into Apple but my wife can get into it on her iPhone 5s and we can get into it on the ipad but I can't on my 4S. Any suggestions?

Hello there, pacase1.
From what I understand you've changed the password but can't login to a particular feature on your iPhone 4s. If that is the case, the following Knowledge Base article provides some good pointers to use depending on which feature/service you're trying to sign into on your iPhone:

If the issue is still with your password, feel free to review the following documentation:

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app)

I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product? We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated. Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them. I am using the Nikon software to convert them

I have a new Nikon D750 sitting on my desk and can't edit the photos with any adobe product? We are in full wedding season and am a little frustrated. Photo mechanics opens them right up to download them. I am using the Nikon software to convert them into tiffs. when is the camera raw update coming out. I am not the only photographer with this issue check out all the chatter about it.

This happens every single time a new camera comes out from one of the two big camera makers. Nikon and Canon do not send preproduction units to Adobe, so Adobe has to go out and buy a D750 or whatever from the store to test and profile it before they can update Lightroom. They can't get one earlier than you and I can. The profiling is quite an extensive operation. Other camera makers do send preproduction units, use dng, or do the profiling in-house and there you often get support right from release. If camera makers would finally embrace an open raw format such as dng, this whole problem would be gone but both Canon and Nikon seem to think they live in an upside-down world where their clients only use their software.
Usually the dead period only lasts a few weeks but it is frustrating nevertheless. My only advice is to not buy a new camera at the day of release and expect to have third parties to support it. You definitely should not be buying these cameras right away if your business depends on it. Aperture, Capture One, etc. have the exact same problem. No third party (read non-Nikon in this case) will support the camera from the release date. Some are quicker than other adding support. Adobe is somewhere in the middle of the pack in this respect. Nobody outside of Adobe knows when an update comes out. Could be tomorrow, could be a few more weeks or a month. They might jump straight to Lightroom 6 and never add direct support to LR 5. Sometimes they will first bring out a beta version of dng converter that will convert the new camera's nef files to dng, which will work fine in the current Lightroom before updating Lightroom itself.

Changed Apple ID and can't use icloud

okay, so basically today I changed my Apple ID and password. hours after changing it, my iMessage was not working. turns out my icloud is no longer working since I change my Apple ID. in icloud settings, it says my old Apple ID and it is greyed out and I can't change it. I have read that changing my Apple ID BACK to my original ID and password, and then deleting my icloud account, then switching my ID again would work. the problem is, that email for my old ID is "inactive" meaning I can't get emails, or the verification one. when I had tried that, because I couldn't get the verification emailI called apple and he said give it 24 hours to update, but from what I'm reading, that won't work. I also do not remember my security questions since they were made years ago, and my rescue email or whatever it is called is also inactive. I keep getting a pop up to log into icloud with my apple ID, and it asks for the password for my OLD ID, which obviously will not work since I changed it. I think I might be stuck here.

You need to do the following:
1.     Log into Manage your Apple ID and change your Apple ID using the EDIT button back to your old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account. Type in your current Apple ID password when asked, and follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account
3.     Sign out of Messages: go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, click on your Apple ID, and then on Sign Out
4.     Sign out of FaceTime: go to Settings>FaceTime, click on your Apple ID and then on Sign Out
5.     Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old Apple ID and your current password. Change the Apple ID back to the new email address. You may need to verify it again
6.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your new ID
7.      Do the same with Messages and FaceTime

Editing video on mac desktop. In iPhoto and can't edit.

How can I edit video on my Mac desktop? Video is currently in iPhoto and I can't edit it. I need to rotate it.

You can do some minimal cropping of the movie file in iPhoto, i.e. change the start and stop points, but that's all.

I just recently got a new laptop and transfered everything over and it seemed to be ok but now having issues playing videos and can't edit any of my song info in music files

I just got a new laptop so I had to transfer everything over and I thought everything would be ok but I'm having some strange issues especially with my purchased tv shows, movies, and music videos. They just wont play. Sometimes I'll get lucky and a tv show will play but if I stop it and try again it wont. If I open in Quicktime it works fine. The computer is authorized so that shouldnt be it especially if it plays in QT and like I said sometimes I'll get lucky and one will play. Now the other thing I just noticed is all my music files play fine but when opening and looking at the info of the music file I can't edit anything for example song title or artist the area seems shaded and won't let me do any editing. So I'm having those 2 issues. Video files not playing ones that I have purchased. movies, tv shows and music videos. Also like I said if I just sit there and click one after another I may get lucky and one will play but if I stop it and try again it will not play again. And I can't seem to edit any music file which play fine. I have a new Dell with windows 7 and I have never had this happen any help would be great. The computer is authorized for i tunes so it cant be that.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

Some missing thumbnails and can't edit names in iPhoto 08

Hi there,
I have a problem with some images in iPhoto. Had a crash a while ago and had to re-install everything from a back-up and I thought I could just drag a few recent events from back-up into the iPhoto folder structure on the hard disc (stupid I now realise after checking these discussions). The only problem is that the thumbnail image for the event is blank, and the thumbnail images inside the event are all blank too, though when double clicking them they open the right images.
Can I recover the thumbnails without re-importing them properly? (I have lots of slideshows etc set-up on this large (90GB) library) btw. Saw a post about dragging the few events from the 'Originals' folder back into iPhoto, would this be an option?
Also, I can't edit the event names - you can type but nothing happens after that.
(iPhoto08 - Version 7, Running on a PowerMac G5 1.8, pretty much as a music server, with storage for iPhoto, 10.4.11).
Many thanks
Richard

Just sorted the font issue by re-installing HelveticaNeue.db.
Just the main issue to sort - thanks in advance.

I purchased PDF pack and can't edit my files

I can't edit PDF file. What do I do?

Hi eagle9454,
I am happy to help. But, I need a little more information. Have you converted PDF files to Word or another format, and are unable to edit those files? Or, were you hoping to edit PDF files with Adobe PDF Pack (which is something that it can't do)?
Please let me know a bit more about the trouble that you're having, and we will get you pointed in the right direction.
Best,
Sara
