[SOLVED] locale-gen, nano, sed not available in arch-chroot

Both the Installation Guide and the Beginner's version say to use arch-chroot before configuring. However, when I try to do this, I no longer have access to the commands I need to do the configuration (e.g. sh: nano: command not found). I can use nano from outside of the chroot, but AFAIK locale-gen needs to be run inside, and it relies on sed which is also not present.
I'm surprised this hasn't been brought up before-- have I done something wrong?
EDIT: mkinitcpio is also not available while in arch-chroot

Hmmm no I did not do this, nor did I see any mention of it on the install guide. It just says to arch-chroot then (after editing a few files) run locale-gen and mkinitcpio, neither of which are accessible within the chroot'd shell.

My 6th gen. nano will not come back on, Whats wrong.

My 6th gen. nano will not come back on, Whats wrong? I tried to turn it on, and putting on my charger and It won't respond in any way.

I've just had mine returned from Apple unrepaired after sending it off with the same problem after 6 months.
Apparently there was liquid damage so they won't repair it!
This was news to me, as I have looked after my iPod and it has never been near any liquids. The only thing I can think of is that it was caused by humidity due to jogging with it, which is an activity targeted by this product. So that's £130 down the drain!
If you search nano and humidity/jogging/sweating etc on here you will find hundreds of similar complaints. As far as I'm concerned the 6th Gen Nano is not fit for purpose.
It's the last Apple product I will ever buy.

2nd gen nano charging, not recognized by PC

I've had an old 2nd gen nano for years, it's always worked great. Now neither of my two computers will recognize it (via USB), either on iTunes or My Computer or in Device Manager. The iPod charges and will even play music as if it were plugged into a car or wall outlet rather than a computer, but it won't sync to iTunes.
I've tried:
-resetting it (several times)
-downloading the newest iTunes software
-putting the iPod in disk mode
-using multiple USB cords and ports on two different computers
-Apple troubleshooting assistant for 2nd gen nano (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano2gen/)
I'd like to uninstall the iPod driver, but I don't know how since the iPod doesn't show up in Device Manager.
I live over an hour away from the nearest Apple store, so I'm waiting to take it in for service as a last resort. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
I had the same issue with my Late 2009 Mac mini running Mavericks and iTunes 12. When I connected my 2nd generation iPod shuffle it would blink amber once then do nothing. This seems to be a common problem with the iPod shuffle and newer versions of Mac OS X (10.6 and up) and iTunes albeit with somewhat varying symptoms but the same overall problem syncing the iPod with iTunes.
The predominant go-to solution is to give the iPod more power by either connecting the iPod directly to a USB port on the Mac or by disconnecting all other USB devices. On paper this makes sense.
What worked for me, however, was the opposite. After trying to solve this problem for hours (weeks, months), I had success ONLY after adding a low-powered 4-port USB hub to the chain between the iPod and the Mac. I suspect this had the effect of throttling the power supplied to the iPod from the Mac. I was able to perform a restore on the iPod then sync my music over.
I can't tell you much about the USB hub except that it is running at USB 1.1 speeds (12 Mb/sec). In theory a USB 1.1 extension cable should also do the trick. You might even be able to use the USB hub in old wired Apple USB keyboard. I will attach a photo of the hub I used to this post for greater clarity.
I really hope this helps.

3rd gen nano will not sync with lastest version of itunes

I have a third gen nano I haven't used in a while. I downloaded the lastest version of itunes, and the nano will not sync. Also the screen layout does not look
like it used to. There is no left side "menu" on screen that all the writen support talks about. Anyone can help??

6th gen nano. will not remember which song I was on if paused (sleep) or turned off. Defaults to some random song in list and to shuffle mode. I have to go back to songlist and try to remember what song I was listening to (ridiculous). Any way to fix?

I tried just leaving the player in the paused/sleep mode instead of turning it off (someone said it will stay on the song you were just listening to--but no). Still goes back to nowhere (now playing = random and shuffle). I've read that this is a serious problem with the 6th gen. I don't use or like the shuffle feature. I use a sort list in my songlists to play in the order I want. I just want the player to remember which song I left off on and pick it back up from there when I get back to it. I have a 5th gen nano and 2 classics and they work great at going right back to where you left off. Seems like a no brainer to have it remember which song you were on in a songlist and not go back to a random shuffle (now playing) and hear the same song over. Anyone know any tricks to resolve this?
Thanks
Rob

No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod.

Apple TV gen. 2 not available

It looks as if the new Apple TV gen. 2 is not available in e.g. The Netherlands. Did anybody see more information about availability outside the US?

i bet this is due to there are no movie rentals available in the NL iTunes store (yet).
you could get a unit in e.g. Germany but would be restricted to the content you already have in your iTunes library.

My 5th gen nano will not sync win 7 .says connected but not show in itunes. driver is updated ,working properly ....help

my 5th gen nano ,has updated driver ,working properly. ipod connected but not showing in itunes ?

By the way, I totally restored everything. It was ok. It starts to 'unrecognize' my iPod Classic when it comes to synching with iPhoto. After this happened all the menus disappeared from my iPod (music, Podcasts, movies synched fine). It seems to be a problem when synching with iPhoto. It was the same thing before.

[solved] locale-gen don't work

Hi,
I've just got new Arch install but it seems there's some slight problems with locales. I enable few of them in /etc/locale.gen. To be exact:
#en_SG.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_SG ISO-8859-1
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_US ISO-8859-1
#en_ZA.UTF-8 UTF-8
#en_ZA ISO-8859-1
#en_ZW.UTF-8 UTF-8
#li_NL UTF-8
#lo_LA UTF-8
lt_LT.UTF-8 UTF-8
lt_LT ISO-8859-13
#lv_LV.UTF-8 UTF-8
#lv_LV ISO-8859-13
But when I run
sudo locale-gen
I get only
Generating locales...
[edit].Setting system wide locale...Try `localedef --help' or `localedef --usage' for more information.
After that locale -a gives me only C and POSIX.
Maybe I'm missing something?

strange problem.
localedef seems to be a tool to build some locales
maybe something has gone wrong during the installation of locales.
try to reinstall glibc :
pacman -S glibc
and try again (you'll probably have to edit your /etc/locale.gen again)

Solved: New iPod nano 8g not seen in My Computer/iTunes after Apple Support

I received this iPod as a Christmas gift and it has taken months to get it working but I am happy to say I finally did. I wanted to post what I did to solve the problem in case anyone else is having the same issue.
Background Information:
- Windows XP operating system (I had to upgrade to SP 2 just for this iPod)
- Computer works fine with an older iPod nano
- New iPod nano would simply bring up the "Install Hardware Wizard" and always resulted in "Cannot Install Hardware"
- Nothing would show up in My Computer
- iPod would say "Connected, Eject before disconnecting" when it was connected
- Under "Services" iPod service was running & Started
- Under "Device Manager" iPod showed up under "Other Devices" with an exclamation/question mark for "iPod" (note: this did not show up under USB controllers)
What I Have Tried That Didn't Work:
- Downloading new iTunes. I did this a few times and ended up with 7.6.1.9
- Uninstall and reinstall iTunes and Quicktime
- Tried Install Hardware Wizard option to search for drivers in c:\WINNT\inf (or c:\windows\inf if that's what you have)
- Restarted computer several times and tried creating a new user in Windows XP
- Tried going to "Right-click-My Computer"-"Manage"-"Device Manager" and uninstalled any instance of iPod (under "Other Devices") and tried refreshing / re-installing
- Tried stopping and restarting the iPod service in "Services"
- Tried restarting iPod, resetting it, all those 5 R's and other Apple support docs online
- Tried finding answers in forums
- Finally today I spent a few hours on the phone with Apple Support, and after repeating everything in their self-help documents online, and it still didn't work, they said "Call Microsoft and tell them you have a driver issue" and that my new iPod needed some additional driver (which is why old iPod works but not new)
So that's where I left off this afternoon. I think I've seen people who haven't had much luck getting Microsoft support to help with iPod issues, so I continued searching online. I tried updating my Video driver from the Gateway.com website and that didn't work.
On the microsoft.com website, the best I could find was a registry change which told me to delete registry keys for UpperFilters and LowerFilters, which I didn't even have so I couldn't try.
Finally, here is the solution to what worked:
I searched for iPod - specific drivers, and on some random help forum - http://www.computing.net/hardware/wwwboard/forum/43267.html
You'll see they mention "usbstor.inf" which needs to be in c:\winnt\inf (or c:\windows\inf). I checked my computer and it was missing. Luckily, it was there on my work laptop which was also recently upgraded to Windows XP so I e-mailed it to myself (glad I didn't have to trust some one online).
I also followed his directions to add "usbstor.sys" from c:\winnt\servicepack files\i386\ to c:\winnt\system32\drivers.
Lastly, I saw some other usb*.inf and usb*.pnf files on my laptop so I decided what-the-heck, I'll grab them all since I only had usbvideo.inf, and thus I extracted the following into my c:\winnt\inf directory: usb.inf, usb.pnf, usbport.inf, usbport.pnf, usbprint.pnf, usbprint.inf, usbstor.pnf, usbtor.inf.
I restarted my computer and right away my iPod magically appeared in MyComputer and when I opened iTunes, it was also successfully there. Funny thing is, Windows Install Hardware Wizard popped up and I pointed it to that directory -- guess what, it didn't work. Apparently that doesn't matter. Every time I plug in my iPod now, I will just skip the "Install New Hardware Wizard" and go straight to iTunes.
I know this was lengthy but I thought I could save some one else hours of checking around--- just go look in your "inf" directory and make sure you have the usbstor.inf file!
Good luck!!!!

Computer sees 3rd gen nano but not 2nd

I have a second generation nano.
My son has a third generation nano.
Until recently both ipod's worked just fine. Last week I plugged my ipod in, my computer tells me the usb device is not recognized. The ipod does not charge while hooked up to the computer but I have a wall charger and it will charge when connected to it.
My sons ipod works just fine.
Any ideas what's going on here?

I read somewhere that the new nano charges in a slightly different way to the previous generation. Although the official Apple charger will charge it, a lot of the generic chargers designed for the previous generations of ipod will not work. Buying a new charger may be the only solution.

My ipod (6th gen nano) is not being recognized

I was moving some music on to it, decided to update itunes, and the moment it updated my ipod stopped being recognized. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, restarted the ipod, and restarted the computer- all, multiple times. Thoroughly unimpressed and not sure how to get this working. Please help?

Hi, SFletches.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your device is not recognized by iTunes, I would recommend the steps in the article below. Start with the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > If the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is not listed > Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8.

7th gen nano will not sync with I tunes 64 bit on windows 8.1

Apparently there was a thread regarding this a day or so ago and someone posted that you have to hide the left tool bar. I cannot find the function under the view menu to do so. Can someone possibly explain why this is happening. Its not that my music will not sync. Its that the I Tunes cant even see the ipod.

backroll2blind,
The article linked below details a number of steps that can help get iTunes to recognize your iPod.

7th Gen NANO ipod not holding a charge

My Nano will hold a partial charge lasting 2hrs play time. This occurs even with wall charger or USB connection. I have tried resetting to factory defaults. Anyone one have any idea(s)?

Hello there DOC045,
It sounds to me like you've done all the troubleshooting you can for this issue where your iPod doesn't hold a charge. I would next have to recommend you have your iPod nano serviced:
