[Solved again] Updated to linux-3.10.8; Can no longer boot
Hey everyone.
So, linux-3.10.2-1 just dropped to the [testing] repos, and I got it through a standard -Syu. Along with it were upgraded libxfont, linux-headers, lirc-utils (and I installed extundelete during the same command).
Here's the relevant bit of /var/log/pacman.log:

Then, because I am on a UEFI system, I copied the initrd images and the vmlinuz image over to my ESP (just like I've done many a time before), and now the system won't boot. It doesn't throw any errors; rather, as soon as UEFI selects the entry to run, the computer just sits there (there is nothing in the logs so far as I can find).
I've booted with a live medium and I've tried regenerating the images and recopying them (the checksums of the images changed, so I figured that might do the trick), but it's still a no-go. Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Has anyone else run into this problem?
[Edit]: Though this appeared to be solved with 3.10.3, the problem appears to have returned with 3.10.8. No actual solution has been found. As with before, a new kernel has been released (3.10.9) with which this issue does not exist…
All the best,
-HG

So I added /boot to my fstab with option "auto" to not rely on the systemd-efi-generator and /boot was mounted just fine. Then I set noauto,x-systemd.automount and the autofs mount point was created as expected. Then I removed the /boot entry in fstab again and the systemd-efi-generator seems to work fine again...
I'm seriously confused right now...
btw, I did all of this mit kernel 3.9.9 booted. 3.10.2 doesn't boot on my system, it's the famous ""EFI machine randomly hangs while loading kernel" bug again. But this shouldn't have anything to do with the kernel install problem...
edit: I just realized that my "btw" is actually what OP describes. I should have read the thread completely, sorry
Either way, as far as I can see these are two separate issues. The EFI bug with the long thread that I mentioned above and the fact that /boot seems to not mount in some cases. I did some more testing regarding this, but I still have no idea what is happening. I could have sworn there was no automount point set up by systemd at some point, which would have made sense. But I can't reproduce it anymore...

Since the iOS7.0.2 update to my iPhone 4S, I can no longer choose use of my Bluetooth device if using the power cord to listen to MUSIC or answer my phone (choice of powercord as 'dock,' speaker, & phone only). Was this former-feature now an oversight?? I'd really appreciate having my Bluetooth once again listed as a choice of audio option. Especially considering the battery life is not what it was prior to this update, and requires recharging often.
Sorry to tell you but unless you have a Retail Apple Store close by, they are the only ones I have found with all the adapters and accessories. I bought an extra lightning to usb adapter the other day to use in my truck. Good luck....

Hi, sallymaesmag.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you are in the Philippines, check to see if the country is changed in the iTunes Store settings on the iOS device. These steps will show you how to change the preference.
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. TapSettings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.

I have 3 iTunes libraries on my one one computer and since I updated to the new version I can no longer see who's library I am in. It used to show at the top of iTunes the name of the library I was in. Is there a way I can tell which library I am in without closing and reopening?
No. Frequently the apps take up more storage space on the iPod that the file download size.

My employer and I both have iPhone 5. We both recently updated as recommended. Now we can no longer text each other. I can text and receive from other iPhone users. Any ideas??
Well, that didn't work since I am already using my appleID for both FaceTime and iMessage but i did see the option to send as SMS when iMessage not available. so I am now able to send to him but I don't know if he can send to me. It's a start. It is only with his phone. His wife has a Galaxy and they are both on AT&T and she can send and receive. I am on sprint. If that info helps

Ever since I updated to Firefox 4.0, I can no longer open links in a new tab by holding ctrl and clicking the link. The only way I can open a link in a new tab is if I right click a link and select "open in a new tab" in the dropdown menu, but ctrl + click is so much easier and faster. Any clue how to fix this?
Some other users have fingered the Ask toolbar as the cause of this problem. You can try disabling or removing it here:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Add-ons > Extensions
Does that help? -

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

I can no longer make a cd from music since I did a update to my Itunes music, it is saying it can't find the player to make a cd, I had my computer person here and the cd player works great, I can play on it, just can no longer make cd from my music. It says no cd player or product. Can you please help me get this fixed. Did something happen when I updated a kink or something in it.
Thank you,
BillieCould you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
... and click "Next".
When you get through to the final screen:
... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. -
I can no longer organize anything in iTunes but music since upgrading to 11.0. My photos are caught in limbo, I can sync and all end up on my computer as it should. However, there is no way to send back to the iPad the proper folders for customers it s all in the camera roll. Contacts are array. What do I do.
Removed. Re-synced. Still not working. Factory reset the phone, re-installed music... made a GIANT "Other" file instead of actually adding any songs.
Factory resetting again. Any other solutions?
EDIT: If It helps, I'm doing this all over USB connection, not trying to sync music through wifi or anything. -
After installing the latest update to itunes, and my ipod, I can no longer sync my computer and my ipod nomatter what I do. I have tried everything I know and can read. I am beginning to think it has something to do with the password that I changed, but I tried to change it back and nothing happens. Does anybody have any suggestions. I have been working on this for three hours and I can't figure it out? Apple is no help and it was their updates that messed the whole thing up.

Updated to iOS 7.1.2 - Can no longer connect to WiFi
There is clearly a bug introduced after updating to iOS 7.1.2 and I inadvertently repeated this mistake on two iPhones (5 and 4S).
Immediately after updating to the latest iOS, I was experiencing sporadic WiFi drop outs, especially for short time immediately after taking the phone out of standby.
Then I attempted someone's 'brilliant' suggestion of selecting "Forget Network" and then adding it back in. THAT was a huge mistake because after doing that and reconnecting to my WiFi network, everything seemed fine until I woke the phone (iPhone 5) from its next standby. Since then, I can no longer connect to my WiFi network. In fact, no WiFi networks in my vicinity appear! In order words, I am now completely reliant on my limited data plan!
To make matters worse, because of this screw up, my cell data plan exceeded my 3 GB usage and I had to pay $60 in overage for July! I am not happy!
This is made even more outrageous considering that Apple hasn't acknowledge this issue!
BTW, I have tried and wasted a LOT of time trying each of these so-called Apple remedies:
Blog entry titled, "
How to fix Wi-Fi issues on your iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS 7.1.2"AmishCake wrote:
There is no need for Apple to acknowledge anything, because it is not a bug.
Yeah, I've seen the play out before with past iOS updates (re: unresponsive slide to unlock/cannot answer calls). Thousands of people complain but the AFB's jump all over them by calling them newbs or worse. Then Apple releases a patch and the problems quietly disappear. It is kind of annoying to see this replay! Please don't be so sure that it isn't a bug. The fact is, Apple made patches and despite the homogeneous nature of iPhones, there are still literally millions of possible ways that iOS patches can affect some phones but not all phones. You cannot claim unequivocally, that this is NOT a bug.
So you are suggesting that all the complaints about this issue are imaginary?
As it relates to my situation, I have two iPods, one iPad, two iPhones, a desktop, and an Android tablet.... only the two iPhones lose the WiFi connection (during standby) and these devices were both updated to iOS 7.1.2.
Solution: It's the WiFi on my router that is at fault?
AmishCake wrote:
Millions of people are NOT experiencing this issue. Have you tried rebooting your router by unplugging it for 30-60 seconds?
I never made any claim as to the number of people affected. Besides, even if only 50 people posted messages to this forum, the number of people who do not participate in the Apple forum far outnumber the people who do.
With all due respect, I appreciate your attempt to help. In fact, to humor you... I will power off my router, just like you describe (can't hurt... it hasn't been powered down in about a year now).
I'll reply back with a "thank you", if your suggestion worked.
