[SOLVED]fresh install of arch 2009.2, but can't install xfce4

Hello all,
I'm not new to Linux or any of the *BSD's, been at it for quite a few years. I am new to Arch, though.
I really like what I've learned about it so far, and really want to embrace it as a main system, but I'm having a hard time getting off the ground. I want to install xfce4, but I keep getting this error:
xfce4-settings: conflicts with xfce-mcs-manager
It errors-out immediately. I read about a similar error in this forum, but never really discovered a fix.
Please help, and much appreciated in advance.

You could be a little more specific.
Conflicting packages are:
libxfce4mcs
xfce-mcs-manager
xfce-mcs-plugins
And some more conflicts in the optional xfce4-goodies group:
notification-daemon-xfce
xfce4-screenshooter-plugin
xfce4-xmms-plugin
Those packages should be ignored for a successful XFCE 4.6 installation.

Installed a new hard drive, but can't install mac os X

Hi! I need some help. I just installed a new WD320GB hard drive in my new macbook, but when I try to install OS X on it I'm not able to. When I get to the "select destination, Where do you want to install Mac OS X" screen, the new hard drive doesn't show up. What do I have to do?

Or you could have purchased a case to power the new hardrive as an external drive, plug it into your laptop, format the drive, then copy the old drive using Superduper! to your new temporary external hardrive. Once you transfer your old hardrive onto your new hardrive (external), you would then remove the new hardrive from its external drive case, then remove your old hardrive from the laptop, and then install the new drive into your laptop. It should work like a charm after that. The best part is that you can install the old hardrive into your external case, format the old drive turn that into a backup external drive. I hope this all makes sense.
Anyway, this was just an idea that actually works best.

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, can I

Running iTunes 10.7 on Mac OS X 10.8.2. Downloaded but can't install iTunes 11.0.2. Why not, how can I & should I?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
The latest iTunes version is 11.0.1 version. 11.0.2 does not exist. Have you tried opening Apple menu > Software Update and install iTunes 11.0.1? If it doesn't show up, you have already iTunes 11.0.1

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on old laptop. Is there a small fee to be able to do this. Never installed the video editing portion, can this be installed with no problem?

Have purchased a new computer but can not install elements 12 since it has been installed on an older laptop. This is a one time user program, is there a code that can be put in or a small fee to pay to be able to use the program again. Never installed the video editing and hoping this can be installed with no problem.

If the laptop is still connected Launch Elements in Expert Mode. Go to the help menu and sign-out. That will deactivate usage on the laptop.

Downloaded but can't install - keep getting an error message because I never upgraded Keynote to 9.0, just pages and numbers

Downloads but can't install the upgrade because I never upgraded Keynote, just Keynote and Numbers so I keep getting the error message about Keynote, which I don't use. I just want to upgrade Pages and Numbers.

If you purchased Pages and Numbers from the MAS:

Have Mac OS X 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it requires 10.6; updated to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5

Have 10.4.11; bought Quickbooks and it wants 10.6; upgraded to 10.6 but can't install because it won't open without 10.5. Don't see upgrade for 10.5 in download list.

Hi Loraine,
Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) was between Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). If your Quickbooks program indicates it requires Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and you've installed that, then you've done what you can (you can't install 10.5 when you already have 10.6 installed...you are already more up to date).
It sounds like you are having an issue with the Quickbooks program so you may wish to contact those that make / support that application.
Cheers.

With the subscription you sign in with your Adobe ID that you used to order the subscription. By installation code, I assume you mean serial number. You do not get one with the subscription, but use your Adobe ID.

I have a brand new Macbook Air with latest Mountain Lion but can't install Adobe Flash Player it continually times out?

I have latest version of Mountain Lion on brand new MacBook Air but can't install Adobe Flash Player from Adobe website as it always times out with error message...?

OK...I have tried to download from:

Browser: Safari, Firefox, Opera
I click Download now (I don't have any antivirus software running or a firewall)
The screen then changes to say:

Then I get a nes screen with message:

The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.

I have also tried installing a differnt version by clicking on the "Different operating system or browser?'' and

That's as much as I know...

Purchased Mountain Lion, but can't install on Mavericks OS...Paid for but Can't install

Purchased Mountain Lion, but can't install on Mavericks OS...Paid for but Can't install

You can't install an older OS over a newer one. So you'll get a message saying you can't install ML until you erase the drive.
I'm presuming you already have the full Mountain Lion installer on your drive.
Download DiskMaker X. Use it, the ML installer, and an 8 GB flash drive to create your own bootable ML installer. Boot to the flash drive when it's ready. From there, you'll get the same minimal work screen as when you boot into Recovery Mode. Use Disk Utility to erase the drive, then install Mountain Lion. Restore your personal data.

Just bought mac 10.8.4 I have cs5extended but can't install cs2 to upgrade my cs5extended copy, help

Just bought mac 10.8.4 I have cs5extended but can't install cs2 copy to upgrade my cs5extended copy, help any idea's please :-)

You can install CS5 directly on your computer. You will be asked to enter an eligible serial number during the installation process. This is when you will want to enter the CS2 serial number.

PS downloads uploads for my CS5 (fully licensed) but "can't install" - offers no explanation. Help appreciated. Greg

32 versus 64 doesn't make a difference.
"I've seen similar issues on httP://feedback.photoshop.com You should maybe post there to report the bug."
Thanks. I searched there and found what might be a workaround. I think this is simply a bug in CS5. If (as indicated in posts revealed by searching the forum you linked me to) I temporarily change Printer Manages Color to Photoshop Manages Color in the PS window, I can then access Print Settings again to make changes, Save and then change Photoshop Manages Color back to Printer Manages Color.
Go figure.
Thanks a lot for the help.
What I don't understand is why everyone isn't experiencing the same issue.
