[SOLVED] "man" doesn't find the manpages anymore... what has happend?

I suppose the probleme first appeared after the latest upgrade of "man-pages".
When I'm regular user man returns "No manual entry for XXX" in most cases. Being root, all manpages are displayed as usual.
Here's what I tried so far:
I've checked some manpages from "/usr/man" directroy. On all manpages, no matter if the work for the regualr user, read-permission is enabled for everyone!
Checking the $MANPATH variable returns the same for root and users, namely: "/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/opt/java/jre/man:/opt/kde/man:/opt/qt/man"
I have no idea what else I could try to get them working properly again.

im having a similar issue. but in my case, man pages arent shown even if im root... i cant seem to find man pages for anything. this is a pretty new arch64 install, so i dont know if they worked on this install before.. if not, how can i install the needed manpages?

Doesn't find my battery anymore

Hi, my sweet little white macbook 2ghz doesn't find my battery anymore. The battery icon has X on it. I have to start my macbook with my powercord.
When I press the battery button bottom of my macbook it shows that I have my battery fully charged.
Any help?
-thx-

im getting sick of this same problem. two weeks ago the battery stopped charing, so the Techs told me to remove the battery and hold down the power button for five secs. it worked... for a day...
the next morning (after doing a battery calibration) the computer turned on, but the battery icon came up with an X. the battery no longer charges, and i basically have a desktop now, cause i cannot use the battery at all.
this ***** because i was travelling for work all last week.
called Apple last night (4th time in two weeks, waited for 1 hour each time). we did some tests. nothing worked.
i had to argue with the Tech to get a new battery sent to me. she was saying i need to send it to an authorized tech person, which is impossible for me as im 500 miles from the nearest one and cant afford the down time. after all, i bought this thing to WORK on.
im getting sick of this. and now my screen has started to flicker.
will Apple take care of me? will they just send me a new machine if this one continues to get worse?

I have an issue with time machine, it doesn't find the Lacie external driver it use to use. it is the same drive that I usaly use for time machine back ups. It is corectly plugged. What can I do ?

Hi,
I'm trying to back up my macbook with time machine on the Lacie external driver I usualy use for this, but today my computer doesn't find the driver. I haven't done back up in 6 month.
Today, the Lacie driver is pluged and running, but the computer just does'nt find it.
what shall I do ?

Some things to consider:
Is the drive mounted, i.e., visible via Finder and/or on the Desktop?
Is the drive still selected in System Preferences, Time Machine? If not, use the "Select Disk" button.
Is Time Machine still turned on (System Preferences, Time Machine)?
Can you see the drive (and mount it) using Disk Utility (in your Utilities folder)?

HT4889 Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive, it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive. Why is it looking for other computers?

I'm trying to use Migration Assistant to update my new Mountain Lion iMac from an external USB hard disk drive. I told it to look for a drive, yet it is constantly saying that it is "looking for other computers". It doesn't find the external drive ... it just endlessly looks for other computers. Why is it looking for other computers at all, when I told it not to?

Wow, the wording in Migration Assistant is misleading. I've never used it before, so I thought I would try to copy my files from the external drive ... my old iMac died, but I managed to get everything I need off it, using the 'cp' command in single-user mode. So I guess I'll just have to manually copy the files from the external drive to the new machine. I was hoping that Migration Assistant might help somehow, but obviously not.
Thanks for the quick reply!

N82: Nokia Software Update doesn't find the phone

Hello, I am trying to update the firmware of my Nokia N82, but I get an error message from Nokia Software Updater saying that it doesn't find the phone. I find that strange as Nokia PC Suite indeed finds the phone. The icon on the taskbar says that "AndersMobil is connected".
I've noticed that if I let Nokia PC Suite run at the same time as Nokia Software Updater, this icon shows that the phone is being connected and disconnected several times while Nokia Software Updater tries to find the phone, something that might indicate that the two programs cannot be run at the same time? I tried to run Nokia Software Update alone, but still the program doesn't find the phone.
In Windows Hardware Manager (or Units manager, not sure of the english translation) of Windows XP, "Nokia GSM Phone USB Modem" gives the following error message: "The unit is not working as it should as Windows cannot load the necessary drivers for this unit (Code 31)." Under "Portable Devices" in Hardware Manager/(or Units manager?) the error message "This unit cannot start. (Code 10)" appears for the unit "AndersMobil".
I followed the guidelines on the internet reinstalling Nokia PC Suite and Nokia Software Updater, removing and reinstalling the drivers, but Nokia Software Update still doesn't find the phone, and the same error messages appears in Hardware/Units manager every time.
What do I do?
Regards,
Anders
By the way, I sent an e-mail to Nokia support about this but they still haven't answered although it's been a long time since.

I don't know if that problem might be interconnected with the other in some way or not.

The plastic hinge between my screen and the computer (macbook pro retina) is cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore? Can Apple change it?

The hinge between my screen and my computer (macbook pro retina) has cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore. Can I fix it without changing my screen. And if it's still on guarantee does Apple have to repair it?

Apple can fix any and all of their computers. Whether it would be charged to you would be the question. Do you have AppleCare?
Accidental damage is not covered by AppleCare.

My old eMac doesn´t find the hardrive

After restart my eMac it appeared a folder with a question mark. I think my eMac doesn´t find the hardrive. I have tried to reinstall the system but of course it happens the same, it doesn´t find the disc where to install.
I restarted pressing ALT and then appears two arrows but nothing happens when I click on them.
Please, what can I do?
Regards.

It sounds to me like your hard drive has failed.
you'll need to get it repaired. They may or may not
be able to recover your data... I hope you have a
backup system.
Sorry mate.
Yes, fortunately I have a backup of everything and I have a iMac Intel Duo Core... what´s strange is that this has happen to me four times and the only way of recover the eMac was to format the hardrive. I think this time I going to change it for a new one.

Is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed. my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/me

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.
