[SOLVED]desktop e-svn updates via pacman, laptop won't update:

I don't understand this. Back in Sept I did an "pacman -Syu" on my desktop. This included updating E17. I know because I made a note of it due to a problem with my preferred themes being incompatable with the new edje format... (I wasn't happy with the themes I could make work, because they didn't make it easy for a keyboard oriented user to see which if any button would be activated by pressing enter. And so I decided to forgo updating my laptop until I had a solution. Recently I discovered the existence of the command "edje_convert" which salvaged my preferred themes. And so I just recently did an "pacman -Syu" on the laptop. But while my desktop is currently at Version: 57289-1 (built Feb 25 2011) I can't seem to get my laptop to update past Version: 50356-1 (built Jul 19 2010)
Both use the x86_64 architecture, So I'm at a loss to explain why "pacman -S e-svn" says it's up to date and reinstalling only wants 13.79MB. Tried it anyway but still at 50356-1...
Suggestions anyone?

Well I guess I should say:
" ahhh DuH! Which way did my brain go?"
You may just have hit on the crux of the problem. A quick peek says that the laptops mirror list was last generated in June of 2010... The desktops was generated in Dec... Will try updating my laptops mirror list. Then I'll post the results.
As to why I didn't think of that, I plead an overabundance of mental flatulence.
Thanks!

Manage AUR updates via pacman?

Ok, so there's a program I want, thats in the AUR.
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29499 (thats the app)
And after doing some reading this time, I installed base-devel via pacman, then I stopped, because since this is a nightly build, I would want to automate this process as much as possible.
So, in short... since after the package is compiled, it looks like it's install in this example (pacman -U foo-0.1-i686.pkg.tar.gz ) by using pacman.
Is it possible once installed, then. that when I perform a pacman -Syu, it will check that package for a new version in the AUR?
If that's not possible with the software, is it possible to make a script that will automatically download the new tarball, compile, and upgrade the version via pacman? I'm not very good at scripts yet..
Thanks!

I'll give that a try. I had read through those in the wiki but they all seemed to be able to automate the build system, I didn't see one that would tie updates of the AUR's into the pacman -Syu command. I'll give yaourt a try first and see if that does what I'm looking for.
Thanks again! (and sorry for all the questions, first day with arch, lol)

Update all apps on iTunes on my laptop won't update

28Jun2014
I have a laptop that I usually keep shutdown until I go travel.   I use iTunes for Macintosh, version 11.2.2 (3), 64 bits for both computers.
I have a desk top computer at home that is networked with the laptop through the finder and I transfer music and newly acquired apps using iTunes.
When I have the App Library open, and the Update tab set, I see that I have 200 apps to be updated.   When I selected UPDATE ALL, my laptop starts downloading apps. When the downloads are done, I see that the same apps are in the Update All window.
My internet provider warned me that I have downloaded too many Gigabites.   My internet bill is large enough, I don't want to keep downloading the same app updates and still have the apps un-updated.   I also don't want my ISP to charge me for over use.
What can I do to update the apps on my laptop.
Also, In order to keep the downloads to a minimum, I'd rather just update my desktop then transfer the updated apps to the laptop from the desktop. Is that possible.   I want the laptop to mirror the desktop with regards to music, podcasts and apps as much as possible.
Why won't my laptop update apps?
Thank you for your help with this.

I took it to a ohone shop today and they're going to try and fix the phone without altering the memory, but apparently that's quite hard to do with IPhones
That will void any support from Apple. If you take the device to an Apple store you would be able to get an out of warranty replacement. A third party shop may make things worse and end up costing you more. Apple does not sell parts so all the third party shop will be able to use are parts from damaged or stolen devices. If the third party shop cannot fix the device you will have to pay full price for a replacement phone rather than the discounted price from Apple.

Windows Update for windows 7 won't update the Intel Corporation - Display - Intel (R) HD Graphics

Hi there, a couple of times the windows update on my windows 7 won't update the Intel Corporation - Display - Intel (R) HD Graphics.
What could be the problem?
How can this be solved?

Hello palette35,
Welcome to the community.
You’re having problems with windows not updating the graphics.
It could be security setting blocking the update
You can go to HP.com and download the driver directly.
Here is a link to the site. You’ll need your product number.

Updating to IOS 5 won't update and now won't restore my backup.

After creating a backup of my ipod touch and then updating it. It failed the update then saids it needs to restore and saids it cannot restore. Now I cannot update or restore. Anyone have ideas?

reset your ipod touch by click and hold home button and sleep/wake up mode for 10seconds.. then try again

HT204266 Anyone else having problem with updates? My apps won't update and can't download any new apps.

My phone won't update the apps or let me download any new ones. Been going on for few days now.

Many developers are releasing updates today because tomorrow Apple is shutting down iTunes Connect (the developer backend to iTunes) for the holidays. This could be affecting things, but I doubt it.
You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears. Try again to see if the problem persists.

How can I wirelessly access my desktop's extrenal drive via my laptop?

I know that the Unix underpinnings of OSX only allow me to access my home folder wirelessly but most of the files I want to share are on my 250 gig lacie external drive.
There must be a way around this but I don't know what it is.
I would like to be able to copy and write to this drive from my Dell laptop.
I have a wireless network set up with airport extreme which works well otherwise.
Thanks,
Gord
power mac g4 dual 450 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

You will need to use Sharepoints in order to share the hard drive.

Software Update via Unix command but get updates from my OS X server?

I have a OS X server which I use to manage how software update runs on the clients. Currently when you run software update from the client it connects to the server and downloads what it needs which is much faster than downloading it via the internet each time.
now, I would like to run a unix command via ARD that would run software update against the local server. Does anyone know the correct syntax for this? Running softwareupdate -l -a does not work. Thanks

I'm also in the process of getting my Xserve setup as an internal software update server. I haven't gotten to the point of testing this yet, but I was under the impression that once the clients were managed, any software update command would force the clients to retrieve their updates from your internal server as specified in the MCX settings.
I have a OS X server which I use to manage how software update runs on the clients. Currently when you run software update from the client it connects to the server and downloads what it needs which is much faster than downloading it via the internet each time.
When you say that currently when you run software update from he client it connects to the server and downloads updates, are you referring to running the graphical Software Update tool?

Laptop won't update, driver not succesfully installed why?

HP pavilion refuses to update so my drivers aren't successfully instal why?

Angiesl,
Welcome to the HP Forum.
The "why" is usually a break down in the communication protocol during the download or the actual RPC call during the installation.
You didn't say where this is happening; I suspect you might be referring to HP updates coming from the HP Support Assistant.
You can check the list of needed Updates in the HP Support Assitant.
AVOID updating the BIOS unless you know what you are doing and you have a good reason to update the BIOS on your computer. That means, do not update your BIOS unless you must do so.
After you look at the list, you can -- if you like -- log into your computer's support webpage and manually download and install the driver updates.
How-To Help:
Install Software and Drivers from HP Website
BIOS
ONLY update the BIOS when you see an update in your computer's webpage AND that update can be used to provide a fix for an issue you have discovered in your system. In other words: If your computer is happy, do not update the BIOS just because you think it would be a nice thing to do to it.

My Windows 7 XP laptop won't update to iTunes 10.7

I just bought the iPhone 5, and in order to sync it with the iTunes on my computer I need to download iTunes version 10.7. However, I get the following error message midway through the process: "There is a problem with this Windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."

Try the following user tip:

OS X Update 10.9.1 Won't Update

Greetings.
In the App Store Updates, OS X Update 10.9.1 appeared a couple weeks ago in the automatic updates section. I selected "Update" and the progress bar opened as usual, showing "0 bytes of 243Mb - Calculating..." however, the download made no progress. Eventually, an error comes up saying that the Apple upgrade servers are unavailable. I have tried multiple times since then but with the same results. The odd thing is that in the "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" section, OS X 10.9.1 is list multiple times on different dates, presumably those times I've attempted the update.
This update continues to appear in the Available Updates section. Web searches on this issue don't turn anything up so it would seem to be an isolated issue. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Never mind, I found the solution elsewhere:
This is a quite common problem. If you see OS X 10.9.1 in Software Update, it is not installed.
Download and install OS X 10.9.1 from the Apple website >http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1715 If it does not work, hold the Shift key while your computer is starting up to start up in safe mode and run the 10.9.1 installer

Updated to Mavericks, iPhoto won't update

I recently updated to Mavericks and have updated all of the apps that were ready for updates. I updated iPhoto but when I open it it still looks like the old version. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I've restarted my computer several times, nothing is working. I'm using a 13 inch late 2009 MacBook (NOT pro), I'm thinking iPhoto 9.5 may be incompatible with my computer.

When I installed it on mine, I had to remove the icon from my dock bar and then go into the Applications folder and take the new one and drag that onto the dock bar to get it to load properly. It looks like the new icon and loads up the new version. However, there isn't really much as far as looks in the new version they didn't change a whole lot. When you click on iPhoto in the menu bar and click on "About iPhoto" what version does it say you have?

A playlist that I update on my ipod won't update when I connect my ipod to itunes

I have been using my Ipod Touch 3rd generation to create playlists. The playlists show up fine and play on the ipod, but when I connect the ipod to itunes, and click on the playlist, it does not reflect the changes made on the ipod. I have the ipod set to manually manage, so when I disconnect the ipod the songs are still on the ipod, but why won't they show up on itunes?
I also deleted some tv shows off of the ipod by way of itunes, but when i disconnected the ipod, they were still listed on the ipod, although they would not play. So somehow, my itunes and ipod are not communicating with eachother. Any ideas/fixes?

Hey BingHuo,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPod will sync but not charge while connected. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
iPod's battery doesn't charge
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a good one,

[Solved]Cannot install any package with pacman

Hi,
today i tried a system update via pacman -Syu and i get these error messages
Konnte Datei 'curl-7.19.6-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz' nicht von ftp.archlinux.org übertragen : File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
so it seems that these files are not on the servers
i have already tried different mirrors even the archlinux.org one
Last edited by kanim (2009-08-18 09:08:19)

It is fixed. You just need to be patient and wait for the mirrors to resync. As many mirrors need to resync all the repo packages, there are not enough bandwidth for all the mirrors. So it will take some time. ftp.archlinux.org is a mirror just like the other ones. The only difference is that we are the ones in charge of it.
For details on what happened, see:
