[Solved] Latest shared-mime-info and pcmanfm

Heads-up on this one, it breaks your file associations, from searching the forum I could find a similar problem quite some time ago and none of the fixes suggested worked except downgrading shared-mime-info.
At the time it seemed that pcmanfm didn't support the new database format of shared-mime-info and now may be the case again.

I didn't submit any bug because I couldn't decide which package to blame, and didn't see many users complaining about this, shared-mime-info provides a usable database for most programs, that is confirmed by thunar working (which I have tested too, and everyone using kde and gnome didn't complain) so I guess the problem is not completely with shared-mime-info.
On the other hand pcmanfm wasn't updated so there is no update to blame for the breakage.
Now with confirmation that other users are affected I guess a bug report is in order to bring this issue to the devs' attention.

(solved) removing gnome-mime-data and chemical-mime-data

Hi. I would like to remove gnome-mime-data. I executed the command #pacman -Rs gnome-mime-data. The result warned that chemical-mime-data depends on gnome-mime-data. So I have to execute the command #pacman -Rsc gnome-mime-data to get rid of gnome-mime-data but also of chemical-mime-data. If I remove both do I run the risk of making the entire system crash?
I have kde installed. I forget to edit /etc/pacman.conf to IgnoreGroup = gnome before running #pacman -Syu. so now I would like to get rid some gnome stuff I found on the system. I have absolutely nothing against gnome. I just want to run only kde.
Thanks for your attention.

You don't have to have chemical-mime-data. You must've install some chemistry related software.
Read up mime types so that you're more familiar with them. Basically, chemistry-mime-data would allow you to double-click a protein databank (pdb) file in a file manager and launch pymol automatically, for example.

I changed my username and now afp doesn't show any users. I have file sharing on. And also when I select "get more info" on the shared folders they don't have my username in there. it just has "applepc(me)" it my old username before changing it.

Turn Time Machine OFF temporarily in its preference pane. Leave the window open.
Navigate in the Finder to your backup disk, and then to the folder named "Backups.backupdb" at the top level of the volume. If you back up over a network, you'll first have to mount the disk image file containing your backups by double-clicking it. Descend into the folder until you see the snapshots, which are represented by folders with a name that begins with the date of the snapshot. Find the one you want to restore from. There's a link named "Latest" representing the most recent snapshot. Use that one, if possible. Otherwise, you'll have to remember the date of the snapshot you choose.
Inside the snapshot folder is a folder hierarchy like the one on the source disk. Find one of the items you can't restore and select it. Open the Info dialog for the selected item. In the Sharing & Permissions section, you may see an entry in the access list that shows "Fetching…" in the Name column. If so, click the lock icon in the lower right corner of the dialog and authenticate. Then delete the "Fetching…" item from the icon list. Click the gear icon below the list and select Apply to enclosed items from the popup menu.
Now you should be able either to copy the item in the Finder or to restore it in the time-travel view. If you use the time-travel view, be sure to select the snapshot you just modified. If successful, repeat the operation with the other items you were unable to restore. You can select multiple items in the Finder and open a single Info dialog for all of them by pressing the key combination option-command-I.
When you're done, turn TM back ON and close its preference pane.

HT1386 I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now my Outlook notes won't sync and notes no longer appears in the advanced section of the info page

I just loaded the latest version of itunes and now I cannot sync my notes from Outlook 2010 to my iphone. Notes no longer appears under the advanced section of the info tab. Since I have not had luck syncing in the cloud I always check the boxes and tell the sync to sync from my computer to my phone. Does anyone know how to get this to work.

When you connect your ipod up to the computer. It should show the device, usually with the name of the device, in my case 'jordan's ipod'. This should be on the row which shows 'songs', 'albums' e.t.c on the far right. There when you click on it it should go to a different screen showing a picture of your ipod along with two buttons - Update and Restore. Click update and it should take a 2 mins while your ipod is updated to the latest version of Ios.
After updating te ipod see if there is a change in results.
PS: make sure the device is active while syncing so keep tapping the screen.

I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please help

I have the latest Mac Air 13" and I have a Seagate 500MB external hard disk I cant copy or Cut any files on the hard disk and I cant even delete any files. I have the settings as Read and Write in the get info tab. Please helpand also note that my hard drive was formatted on a Windows 7 Laptop.

thats the problem, its in MSDos (Fat) or NTFS for Windows.
Options.....
1. offload all that data on the HD onto your PC, THEN format the HD in EXFAT for use on BOTH PC and Mac for read/write.....then reload all (or as you need) that data back onto the HD
2. get another HD, and format it for Mac OSX extended journaled.
FAT32 (File Allocation Table)
Read/Write FAT32 from both native Windows and native Mac OS X.
Maximum file size: 4GB.
Maximum volume size: 2TB
You can use this format if you share the drive between Mac OS X and Windows computers and have no files larger than 4GB.
NTFS (Windows NT File System)
Read/Write NTFS from native Windows.
Read only NTFS from native Mac OS X
To Read/Write/Format NTFS from Mac OS X, here are some alternatives:
For Mac OS X 10.4 or later (32 or 64-bit), install Paragon (approx $20) (Best Choice for Lion)
Native NTFS support can be enabled in Snow Leopard and Lion, but is not advisable, due to instability.
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support NTFS
Maximum file size: 16 TB
Maximum volume size: 256TB
You can use this format if you routinely share a drive with multiple Windows systems.
HFS+ ((((MAC FORMAT))) (Hierarchical File System, a.k.a. Mac OS Extended (Journaled) Don't use case-sensitive)
Read/Write HFS+ from native Mac OS X
Required for Time Machine or Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! backups of Mac internal hard drive.
To Read HFS+ (but not Write) from Windows, Install HFSExplorer
Maximum file size: 8EiB
Maximum volume size: 8EiB
You can use this format if you only use the drive with Mac OS X, or use it for backups of your Mac OS X internal drive, or if you only share it with one Windows PC (with MacDrive installed on the PC)
EXFAT (FAT64) ------Can read/write from both PC and Mac
Supported in Mac OS X only in 10.6.5 or later.
Not all Windows versions support exFAT.
exFAT (Extended File Allocation Table)
AirPort Extreme (802.11n) and Time Capsule do not support exFAT
Maximum file size: 16 EiB
Maximum volume size: 64 ZiB
You can use this format if it is supported by all computers with which you intend to share the drive. See "disadvantages" for details.

[SOLVED] Thumbnail view of image files in Thunar and PCManFM

Hello all!
I have a question about the way Thunar and PCManFM handles thumbnails of image files. I understand that Thunar users can use the thunar-thumbnailers package to get previews of all sorts of different file formats. But on the thumbnailers page it is claimed that Thunar should be able to make thumbnails of JPEG's, PDF's etc. without this add-on. This is not happening for me even though I have evince, ImageMagick etc. installed.
Now, I tried to install PCManFM again after some time, since this used to be my fm-of-choice. And here, thumbnails show up for JPEG's, PDF's and what-else right away. So I opened Thunar again and browsed to the same folders I had visited with PCManFM, and this time Thunar gave me thumbnails as well!! But only for the files in folders I had visited with PCManFM
Is this expected behaviour? Is it a bug in Thunar? I want to keep using Thunar (I think), but I would also like this thumbnailing business to work automagically as it does in PCManFM. So I'm just wondering if I should report this to the Thunar folks, since they seem to claim that it should work without the -thumbnailers add-on, or if I should just install the -thumbnailers package and shut up ^^
Cheers

Thank you! I installed tumbler and got thumbnails right away. This seems like the proper way to do it.
Cheers!

Any issues with file sharing between Windows and latest Mac client?

We're running Lync 2013. My Windows client is 15.0.4551.1005. Mac client is version 14.0.8.
I open a conversation with a coworker on his Mac. I then try to share a png file. He clicks accept but then my client says the attempt timed out, and his client says that I canceled the file transfer. The coworker then boots the Mac into Windows and we try
again, and the file share works fine. When I jump on my Mac, I can send files to his Mac without issue. When he tries to send from his Mac to my PC it fails, but when he tries to send from Windows on his Mac to my PC, it works.
I can't find anything specific in the logs that would indicate a firewall issue. Is there a bug with file sharing between the Mac and PC clients?
Thanks,
Matt

No, There isn't a bug with file sharing between Mac and Pc client.

My brain hurts: Mega sharing multiple accounts and devices

What’s the best way to organize all this? I would like to avoid repurchasing the exact same DRM’ed content in too many itunes accounts.
I have a big family full of 6 people/laptops, 3 TV/PCs, multiple ipods, iphones, etc. per person; and a growing number of separate itunes accounts. All the computers are running Windows 7 and are on the same network so can all be shared. I don’t have a media server yet, but the PC attached to my “Main” TV serves this purpose at the moment and includes my “Main” itunes account. I’m beginning to consolidate all the media from the various PC/itunes accounts into this Main library.
*Answers to these questions might help me get started (and please also answer any questions I should have asked!)…*
1. How many different computers can be authorized per itunes account? I think this is 5.
2. Conversely, how many itunes accounts can be authorized per computer? (i.e. how many different itunes accounts/libraries can be shared and sucked into the Main itunes account connected to my Main PC/TV)? Also 5? Unlimited?
3. I think an ipod or iphone can only be synced to one library at a time (assuming no hacking). A library can hold media from several accounts (as in question 2). But how many different accounts/libraries, once sucked into the Main library, can then be synced to an ipod, iphone, etc.? Is the answer the same as question #2? I assume there is only a limit on DRM content (ie there is no from-this-library “tag” for non-DRM content).
4. I know I can have the same itunes account (ie apple id/login) on multiple computers. Each would still have its own “library,” however. Except for movie rentals, which are restricted to the computer, is all other DRM content tagged to the itunes account (apple id)? Not the computer or library? Does the “library” even matter in all these discussions? Or only the “computer” and the “account?”
*For sake of discussion, this is what I mean by (please correct)…*
A. Account = an itunes account, which is set up with a unique apple id.
B. Library = the itunes application on a computer has one library. Let’s assume “copy files” and “keep organized” are checked.
C. Hard Drive = where the content physically resides (a library can include pointers to files on multiple hard drives (what about on networked computers?))
D. Computer = DRM content can be played on up to 5 “authorized” computers. Is it the computer that is authorized or the library on that computer?
Ok, enough already. Thanks.

Hello!
1. Yes, the answer is 5. As stated here in the first few paragraphs
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1420
2. I don't know. Why don't you tell us, since you have 6 accounts!
3. ipods can hold content of up to 5 itunes store accounts. As buried in this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1420
They can only auto sync to one itunes library, though.
4. DRM is tied to the itunes store account. You can check: highlight a purchased song, right-click > get info. The Summary tab shows the purchase info and itunes account.
Your definition of B) library is a little off. Each windows user Id on the same PC can have a different library database. If you have 6 windows users on one PC, and they each start itunes for the first time using all the defaults, there will be 6 itunes library databases. They can all be pointing to the same content.

Home Sharing between Mac and PC

So I have Home Sharing enabled on both my Mac and PC, and signed into both with the same apple ID.
From my pc, i have installed the latest version of Itunes, and on my mac I have the latest version of Itunes.
I can access my library on my mac from the PC, but I cannot see any of the things located below.
When prompted, enter your Apple ID and password.Note: Be sure to use the same Apple ID when enabling Home Sharing on all computers you intend to share with.
Click Turn On Home Sharing.
Use the above steps to enable Home Sharing on additional computers on your home network.
Setting up Automatic Transfer
Automatic Transfer can transfer your newly-purchased apps, books, music, TV shows, and movie purchases to your other computers set up for Home Sharing.To automatically transfer content between computers, click the Settings button in the lower-right while viewing a Home Share and select which content to transfer. Automatic transfer of iTunes Store content is off by default.
Note: The Settings and Import button aren't present if you're using Music Sharing, which is different from Home Sharing.
Automatic transfer applies to new purchases from the iTunes Store whenever they are made. However, updates aren't transferred (such as those from the App Store).
Automatic transfer only applies to iTunes Store content you purchase or download after enabling Home Sharing.
Previously downloaded or non-iTunes Store content can only be manually transferred. It may be necessary to authorize iTunes Store content for playback on other computers.
Audiobooks purchased through the iTunes Store can be automatically or manually transferred.
Home Sharing can't transfer or stream audiobook content purchased from Audible.com. SeeAudible.com for assistance in using their content on multiple computers.
In addition, rentals from the iTunes Store can't be streamed or transferred to another computer using Home Sharing.
Home Sharing tips
The best way to avoid duplication is to use the Show menu located in the lower-left corner. Choose "Items not in my library" before transferring any content.
I do not have a drop down menu in the Home Sharing window, and also cannot choose items not in my library.
MY question is, how do I copy my purchases from Itunes from my mac to my pc????
Step by step please.

Hi clissmann,
It sounds like you simply wish to have your purchases on both your Mac and your PC. You can accomplish this by accessing your past purchases using the information in the following article:
Download past purchases - Apple Support

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock all?

How do I select multiple files under "Get File Info"and lock or unlock them all? It seems to do it automatically when I have 10 or more selected. But how do I lock or unlock 5 or 6 files in one swoop? Thanks

Select the desired files then press OPTION and select Show Inspector from the Finder's File menu.

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to be locked up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano;

I downloaded the latest version of itunes and now my ipod nano won't sync. The sync process appears to lock up on the 2nd song and will not continue to sync. I let it run all night the first time and it never went past the 2nd song. I unchecked the 2nd song so a different song would be 2nd, no benefit; reset my ipod nano; shut down laptop and restarted a different time; shorted the number of songs to sync; all without benefit.

After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone everytime I turn on my computer I get a message that reads: AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. Does anybody know what this means?

After downloading the latest version of iTunes and updating my iPhone, everytime I turn on my computer I receive a message that reads: "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found. The procedure entry point sqlite3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQlite.dll" Help! Does anybody know what this means and how I can fix it? Thanks.

Yes. I just solved the problem on my PC. Here goes...
Issue: My Windows7 computer was producing the pop up box with the error text as you described.
The Problem: You have another application on your computer that uses the like named .DLL file... in this case a DLL supporting SQLite on your local PC.
Solution:
1. You need to use the Windows File search feature to look for the name "SQLite". This will quickly locate the offending DLL in the other application.
2. Decide which program you like the most, in my case "Mobile Me", and uninstall the offending application.
3. Uninstall Mobile Me.
4. Restart your PC.
5. Reinstall Mobile Me.
6. Mobile Me should sync at this point, but if not, restart the PC once again.
In my case, the offending program was my Aptana Studio development application. I had recently the SQLite3 database to my Ruby On Rails configuration...
This is where the file was located:
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Aptana Studio 2.0\plugins\com.aptana.radrails.sqlite3.win32_3.5.7.1278709071\vendor\SQLite3.d ll
I hope this helps,

File sharing between Leopard and Snow Leopard

I have a G5 and a Powerbook running the latest version of Leopard and they are both on the same network as a Mac Mini and Macbook both running Snow Leopard. The computers on Snow Leopard have no problem accessing the shared folder on the computers running Leopard but the opposite has not worked. I can't access either the mini or the macbooks shared folder from either my G5 or Powerbook. I set the firewall on all computers to allow all incoming connections to resolve this but have not been successful. Is this a known issue? Is there a fix?

I couldn't find anything in the system log at all and I tried the appfirewall.log and it isn't there. It could be because the firewall is turned off therefore it isn't logging anything.
I decided to try the system log on the G5 with Leopard running instead and got the following message pop up in the Console immediately after a failed connect:
Oct 8 00:24:15 daniel-kennedys-power-mac-g5 /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder[139]: SharePointBrowser::handleOpenCallBack returned 22
Hope this is useful

Difference between Shared Variable Refnum and Control

Dabbing my toes in Shared Variables for another project. Glad to see A LOT more support from NI in terms of Shared Variables (especially now that built executables can be set to automatically deploy shared variable libraries...thats a big help).
In the Shared Variable block diagram palette (under Data Communication) there are a number of VIs that can be used to progmatically access and consume shared variables. Awesome. One thing that I have noticed is there is a difference between a "Shared Variable Control" (from the I/O front panel palette) and the "Shared Variable Refnum In" that you obtain from right-clicking one of the VIs from the Shared Variable palette and selected "Create Control".
My first thought was that these two were one and the same, but they are not. Visually they look different:
Also, the reference input to the VIs in the Shared Variable palette only take the "shared variable refnum" control as input. The control from the "I/O" palette does not work.
This wouldn't be much of a problem, but I prefer the look of the Silver Shared Variable Control much more to the control I get from the "Create->Control". Also, the variable browser in the Shared Variable Control is A LOT nicer than the control refnum gives me.
Here is the Shared Variable refnum variable browser:
Here is the much nicer looking browser that pops up from the Shared Variable Control:
So I guess my questions are:
Why are there two reference data types that seemingly perform the same function but are incompatible with one another in LabVIEW?
How can I use the Shared Variable Control with the Shared Variable palette VIs?
Thanks for your input.

Hello Nickerbocker,
You actually want to use the Shared Variable Control in the context of Alarms, I/O Servers and other categories inside the DSC Module. Like you already saw, to use the basic functionality of a Shared Variable, such as programmatically reading / writing to it, you need to use a refnum.
