In the most recent update, did you have a kernel update?
If so pacman triggered mkinitcpio to rebuild your initramfs. If anything went wrong at that state (this can happen) this would be the expected result.
If you haven't done anything beyond a normal update then rebuild your initramfs and you should be set.
Other things that may have been done to cause this is modifications to your bootloader (eg grub's menu.lst) or perhaps changes to fstab.

Installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

installed latest iOS on my iPad mini, it got stuck while restarting after update. It is still in that stage even after 7 hours.

Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
   1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
       other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
   2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
       until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
       device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
       let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
       charge, and then start with step 2 again.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
       When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

Check your system for possible Malware. But you have to do it in WIndows Safe Mode.
(Do not use your own Anti-virus to SCAN)
Start your computer in "Safe mode with networking", go to this link download a free version of Malwarebyte.
http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
Install and perform update immediately, then do a full SCAN. Remove malware if it indeed finds any. Restart computer to regular windows to let Malwarebyte complete the removal.
To start your computer in safe mode
Press and hold the F8 key as your computer starts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer.
On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the "safe mode with networking" option, and then press Enter. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights.
When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.2 - Applications Menu empty after update

After updating all my boxes from 3.0 to 3.2, one of them got the Applications Menu wiped. The .desktop files are all there but none show up in the Menu, it's just empty.
Apart from that everything seems to work just fine, did anyone came across a similiar problem or knows a solution ? I tried to google how to regenerate the Menu but failed to find anything useful and/or gnome3 related.

[SOLVED] vi (vim) no longer works properly after updating the system

After updating the system with pacman -Syu vi stopped working. All syntax colors are gone, and everything is grey. When I press i to enter "insert" mode, editing is not visible. Changes are obscure and you can't tell what you are modifying. Quitting with :q will still prompt you to use :q! to abort changes, even if no changes were visibly made.
When scrolling to the beginning or end of a file, the screen flashes with grey glitch like areas. What happened to my vi!?!?!?!?!?
This all happened while following the beginner's guide to install arch linux. I realized this when trying to arbitrarily read a test file I made directly after updating.
The problems continued to be visible when installing and setting up sudo (those steps are the next steps that require vi)... I think the sudo installation worked... but my vi is horribly glitchy
Any ideas?

Setting EDITOR does not help in every case. For instance, visudo is by default hard linked to vi. (You can change this, I know. )
But in fact, vi is only a symlink to ex. So I simply renamed this link and put another symlink to vim (vim-big in my case since I in fact do use the gvim package).
/usr/bin/vi -> vim-big
/usr/bin/vi-simple -> ex
The drawback is that I have to set those links on every vi-update. (But I sure will remember...)

Apps stuck in waiting after updating on iOS 7.0.2

Since i updated my iPad 2 to iOS 7.0.2 i have this persistent problem, I tried everything to make it normal but it never happens.
After i update an App on my iPad throught the AppStore on the iPad this problem occurs.
1. Eventhough the update is complete the app gets stuck in "waiting... " state
2. However the App opens through the AppStore on the iPad
Above are few of the apps stuck in waiting and they have a Open button adjacent to them.
Notice that iBooks is on waiting... however i can open it through the app store.
and use it normally.
Only solution which works as of now is to delete the apps from settings on the iPad and install them again from the Appstore, but then i'd loose all the data i previously have.
I have no Idea why this is happening. I cannot open the stuck apps directly by taping them i have to go through the AppStore. Please help.
PS: You cannot uninstall app by long tapping it because the X mark does not appear on the app.

Try a reset ...
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

[SOLVED] Plasma workspace crash (SIGSEGV) at login after update

Hi all,
after I updated via pacman -Syu last weekend and rebooted my system I got a plasma workspace crash at the login which happens ever since.
I get:
The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused the signal 11 (SIGSEGV).
Please help us improve the software you use by filing a report at http://bugs.kde.org. Useful details include how to reproduce the error, documents that were loaded, etc.
and the following bug report:
This backtrace appears to be of no use.
This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

You can find old packages here:
http://arm.kh.nu/
That repo has saved my life a number of times. Especially with BLUETOOTH GRRRR.
As for getting all your old settings back, I didn't investigate this enough because i only have opensuse for curiosity as I think they do some really great stuff.
Basically I hadn't yet isolated what was causing the problems before I gave up because every time I tried to merge my old settings in to the new user account, I recreated the problem. No logical (subjective term obviously) separation of what to merge and what not to merge worked. So I gave up and just did everything manually. Sorry that I couldn't be more helpful.

[Solved] Xfce4.8: App shortcuts not working after update

Hello,
since pacman upgraded my Xfce to 4.8, my application shortcuts are no longer working. I especially need them to emulate a third button with Super_L and bind the netbook function keys for audio volume/muting to amixer calls. I already tried to rebind all shortcuts, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Edit: I already tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … 7t_working, but this didn't help
Edit2: Solved it. Apparently I lost xfce4-settings-helper during the migration from 4.6. So I restarted it manually and then saved my session.

I am not bothering with windows 10 my friend, it is too much of an newbe baby at the moment and there are just too many bug fixes need doing in my opinion. I did manage to get my dolby home theatre to work again in windows 10, but it was an awful dulled down version with only half the features of the original that came with the version that was on my pc. My plan is to stick to windows 8.1 until it's death. When they withdrawl all the security patches for windows 8.1 and it becomes obsolete, then I will be forced to trash my pc again and go to windows 10, was not much fun mind spending 3.5 days putting everything back to its former state. Hope they do make windows 10 more stable and fix a lot of the bugs. I tried opening videos and pictures in windows 10.... result = missing element errors.... and error, error, error,,, So I think I will wait until 28 July 16 to when the last day of my free upgrade and reservation to windows 10 becomes mandatory. (This is I day before my year to upgrade expires). Thanks for your post. Will

[SOLVED]Low performance of nvidia 290.40 after updated.

UPDATED
Update to 290.49 and be solved.
ORIGINAL
Updated my system, nvidia was updated to 290.40 from 290.33. After rebooted, GNOME 3 was crashed, and the same to GDM.
I can start KDE, but have to go with unbearable slow, and programs with OpenGL is also very very slow, so now I can only use Openbox and firefox, even Totem does not work now.
Followings are solution I found:
1. I searched the forum and found 2 posts, from which I could find a solution: Downgrade nvidia to 290.33:
i. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139553
ii. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139535
2. Having searched Google, I found another one which eventually proved helpless: Rebuild kernel with kernel config CONFIG_AGP set to y
The problem can be solved by following the solution 1, but I want a better solution.
Need more useful information? Just tell me in the reply.
I hope my english won't puzzle you.
Appreciate very much.

Mail stuck in outbox after update

After I updated the OS today, all my email messages are stuck in the outbox of Entourage. It was working fine before the update, and I didn't change any of the settings. Any thoughts?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Mail that gets stuck in the outbox usually can't find the SMTP server to send the messages to. Verify that the SMTP server you are sending to hasn't gone down, and if you are using password authentication that it hasn't forgotten your password. If you aren't connecting to the internet via the internet service provider who gives you the SMTP server, it may be blocked unless you specific a port to send the message through. 2626 and 587 are the most common alternative ports, though your internet service provider may have another. If using Exchange, check and see if you can send messages using an Exchange account with Mail.
