[SOLVED] Install xfce 4.10 and lost most permissions

Hello all,
I haven't used a DE before and decided to use xfce 4.10. Once I installed everything it seems to work properly but a few programs have stopped working without errors.
My dropbox daemon isn't updating my folder, firefox addons are not working (only some), my sound works intermittently (might be a different problem) and I cant update deluge preferences.
This looks like a classic permissions issue but I did nothing to the user.
I am launching from XFCE panels, not sure if this is it. I also had not issues until the DE was installed. (I previously used awesome WM)
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!
EDIT:
Turns out I am dumb and let my root directory run out of space. This made a lot of things run oddly. Also I updated my dropbox and it seems to be working quite well now!
Sorry for the noise! :)

I tried to restore of but it won't work. Even lost my photos

Syncing to iTunes doesn't make delete your message or photos.
where you syncing to a different computer than the one you normally sync to?
Are you sure you weren't restoring instead of syncing.
If you have a backup of your phone that included those message or photos then use that backup.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
This is normal. OS X doesn't come with iLife apps, so you have to reinstall them after reinstalling Mac OS X.
If your Mac came without DVDs or you purchased it after July 2011, you have to install the iLife applications from the Mac App Store. Open the Mac App Store, log in with your Apple ID, go to Purchases and download GarageBand, iMovie and iPhoto free of charge.
If your Mac came with DVDs and you didn't purchase the iLife apps in the Mac App Store, insert the Applications DVD and install the iLife apps. Then, open  > Software Update, and install the latest iLife applications version

What did I do wrong? I used to have iTunes installed on this computer and lost it when it crashed. No I can't get past a certain point in the installation point. I keep getting an error message stating that I need to verify that I have access to this file

Help!! What's going wrong here. I used to have iTunes installed on this computer but lost it when it crashed. I've tried re-installing it numerous times but I keep getting the same error message. "Error writing to file: C:\ProgramFiles\iTunes.Resources\es.lproj\iPadLicense.rtf. Verify that you have access to that directory." I know I have access to that directory because on a different computer I can sync my iPad and iPhone. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to go in and authorize or turn on? Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

I downloaded an iTunes update and lost most of my playlists. How do I get lost playlists back?

I finally downloaded an update of iTunes (as we are prompted to do about once a week) and found most of my playlists had been lost or deleted. How can I get them back? Or are they just gone, swallowed up by the Apple juggernaut?

[SOLVED]Installed XFCE, now have a disabled display, can't get it back

First thing I tried to do after installing XFCE was change the screen res to match my monitor. The display dialog had two screens showing - one labeled 'laptop', and the other 'Viewsonic bla'. As this is not a laptop, and my screen is indeed the Viewsonic bla, I unchecked the 'Use this display' option next to 'Laptop'.
My screen then went black, and will not come back. There was no countdown 'Do you want to keep these settings' dialog, although I guess there might have been (the screen was blank) and possibly I accidentally told it 'yes' in my blind flailings. What I meant to do was press Esc, but I may have pressed some button previously that activated a 'Yes' option. Or maybe there is no double-check dialog at all! Either way, I can't get XFCE to show up any more. Rebooting the machine doesn't work - the screen just shuts down saying 'No signal'
To fix this I've decided to reinstall XFCE. Is it enough to just run pacman -S xfce4 again, or is there another command line option to do a reinstall? Also, what about config files? I can see no dot files or directories in my home folder that could be XFCE related. Thanks.

On my machine, there are XFCE related settings stored in ~/.config/xfce4 and ~/.config/xfce4-session etc

I downloaded icloud and lost most of my apps.I did restore didnt work.when i try to download app it asks for a usa zip code and i live in canada and cant download anything now

Also tried to restore and that did not work

To purchase and update apps, iTunes requires a valid payment method, even for free apps.
Yu can create a new iTunes App account that is only good for free apps but you still need the old account to update apps purchased wth that account.
Create an iTunes App Store account without a credit card

I just updated my ipod and lost most of my content, can I recover it? Some one please helppp!!!, I just updated my ipod and lost most of my content, can I recover it? Some one please helppp!!!

I just updated my ipod and realized I lost most of my contents like my address book and calender dates, also all my notes and to do's, anyway I can recover them?

I thought I'd lost my notes, too. I also have an iPad mini, and noticed the notes app icon and clicked on it. What was more obvious on the iPad was that there are different accounts; in other words, it had different sets of notes saved under different email accounts.My missing notes were saved under my icloud account, although I didn't consciously ever put the notes under any separate account. They were visible when I clicked "All Notes," too. It turns out that the phone had a different account set as the default. I changed the default on the iPhone, and there they were. I took screen shots so the notes are saved in my photos, too. This was a lot easier than checking through a lot of backups. I hope that helps. I will post this on a couple of threads I see in Apple communities. I see it's a pretty common problem. This might work on an iPod, too.

HP Special Edition L2000 --Installed Win7Home Edition- 64bit and lost audio.

Installed Win7 Home Edition --64bit on my HP Special Edition L2000 and lost audio. Speaker icon has red X, and when hover over it, the text says "No Audio Output Device is installed". (The previous operating system was XP-Pro, 32-bit).
Have tried the driver update --SP30399.exe for the Conexant. Scan shows no audio device at all, but no hardware has been changed. Suggestions?
Thanks,KBos

Hello KBos,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you've upgraded the OS to Windows Vista from XP. That now you're having an Audio issue. I will try to help you with this.
The driver update that you've run, was for XP. This could be why it never helped. On the HP site, there's no Audio Driver update for Windows.
You can take a look at the following documents to see if what they suggest can help you with resolving the issue.
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows Vista)

Please let me know if this is able to help you out. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Turned on itunes match and lost most of my music...

i turned on itunes match on my iphone and lost all music that wasn't purchased. Any idea where i can find it or is it gone????

If the music was not present if your iTunes library or backed up somewhere else is it gone. An iPod or iOS device is not a storage or backup device. It is your responsibility to maintain backups of your music and other personal data. You'll need to rip the music from the original CDs again to get the content back into your iTunes library.

Installed New VGA Card and Lost Audio

(Please forgive my ignorance or stupidity when it comes to any computer knowledge. In 'Layman's Terms', I am what you would call an idiot when it comes to computers, sorry...)
I just installed MSI VGA Card 'MD512D3', 512MB, DDR3 onto my HP Pavillion a1710n desktop computer that is running Windows 7 and after the installation, the first thing that I noticed was the fact that all of my computer's audio had disappeared. I have been trying to trouble shoot the problem through various forums and I have tried pretty much every single solution that had been given to others with the same sort of problem. But then it occurred to me, why don't I uninstall the new VGA card and run the computer without it like I had been doing before. so I did the uninstallation and immediately, the audio drivers appeared in my Windows update and so now I have audio again on my computer. But my question is this, the audio that I was using prior(and here is one of the times that you will need to forgive my ignorance), I believe they were analog. The best way that I could describe them is that they had the connections to the computer that were color coordinated, i.e. "green" "pink" "blue", etc and I was primarily just using the "green" connection for basic stereo sound(nothing fancy). I just happened to look at the box for the new VGA card and it specifies that it has HDMI Output which, if I am not mistaken, is a digital output that requires a completely different connection. Can someone explain to me(in the most BASIC of terms), if this is, in fact, a digital output that requires a different set of speakers for audio or if I am able to use the 'analog' speakers that I currently have? Now, keep in mind that I would LOVE to just go out and purchase the most expensive and up to date audio products but I am limited by my income...thanks in advance for any information that you are able to provide me...Dan

The card supports Audio via HDMI. If you connect it via HDMI to a screen with speakers or speakers connected to the screen which is connected via HMDI the Nvidia HD audio is used. If Scrren has no speakers Nvidia HD audio can't be used. It should then use the soundcard or onboard sound of your board which the spreakers are connected to.
