[SOLVED] Pacman: cant install, remove, update packages

I'm new to Arch, and yes I've read the Wiki and the sticky post "pacman error: FILENAME exists in filesystem".
I can't install or update packages. Just synced the local database. I want to install the package "mc", so I ran:
pacman -S mc
All required packages were downloaded but then I got lots of:
[package-name]: /path/to/file exists in file system
I tried to remove that package but it says:
loading package data...
error: '[package-name]': could not find or read package
I'm totally confused!

You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

I cant install an update to Firefox and cant remove the old version because a "Setup" pop up window "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" appears, reboots change nothing. What should I do?

A friend said she downloaded an update to Firefox (a version of 6, I believe) but didn't install the update, but the desktop icon was gone. The only way to launch Firefox was from the Programs folder. When clicking on the Firefox file, a "Setup" pop up window appeared stating "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Clicking "No" does not launch Firefox and clicking "Yes" reboots the computer, but nothing changes after restart and the same series of events keeps re-occurring. When clicking on the safe mode file, Firefox was launched. I went to "Add/Remove Programs" and found Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3. When attempting to remove the program, the same reboot "Setup" pop up appears, and the same non-results as previously described, persisted. I deleted all Firefox files and deleted the update set up .exe files. I again tried to remove the Firefox 3.6.3 program, with the same outcome as the previous attempt(s). I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the updated Firefox 7.0.1 set up .exe file, saved and ran it. When I reached the Setup Wizard page that prompts a "Standard" or "Custom" installation, I clicked on Standard and the same reboot pop up window appeared, again with no change after the reboot. So I have a Program installed (Firefox 3.6.3) with no files, and which can not be removed, an executed update/download .exe for Firefox 7.0.1 that can not be completely installed due to the failure to update by reboot problem. I'm out of ideas on how to try to resolve these problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Try a clean reinstall.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

[SOLVED] pacman: grep database for specific packages?

I'm trying to grep pacman output for a specific packages (not just zsh) and receive only the package name as it was passed to pacman as a output (if it exists in the repos that is, otherwise blank / exit 1). The above command works fine in the terminal but when I'm trying to use it from a bash script it only returns blanks. How come?
Simplified version of the script:
tank (zsh ksh)
for x in ${tank[*]}; do
echo $x
present=$(pacman -Qs ${x} | cut -s -d/ -f2 | grep '^${x} ' | cut -d' ' -f1)
echo $present
done
I expect it to return output of a pacman command in the second echo (or blank if there's no packgae like that).
edit: change of title.
2nd edit: added simplified script.

Brilliant! Much leaner. However it still doesn't work from a script:
tank=(zsh)
for x in ${tank[*]}; do
echo $x
present=$(pacman -Ssq '^${x}$')
echo $present
done
Second echo returns blank... Am I quoting something wrong?

Cant install or update apps

I have 2 apple IDs Russian and Canadian, i was able to switch between then and download apps no problem until yesterday. My friend logged in into his Apple ID on App Store and was trying to download an app but it didnt work, app was stuck in "waiting" so i deleted it. After i went back on App Store i was unable to download or update any apps, download, install or update buttons simply wont click. I logged out of his ID and logged in with my ID, same thing. Rebooted my device using home and sleep button, nothing. Did a full restore from setting, didnt help. Changed my DNS to 8.8.8.8 that didnt fix my issue neither. Can someone help me out with this please? Im so frustrated.
I have an Ipad 4

If restoring it worked, that's great. You should be good to go.
If you are juggling two ID's of your own, I'm not so sure that this applies, because I know many people have accounts in different countries. So if it is working for you, thats fine. But this is what I am referring to.
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
This is copied from that site.
Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. You can view which devices or computers are currently associated, remove unused devices or computers, and see how long before they can be associated with a different Apple ID from the Account Information page in iTunes on your computer:

This thread can be left to scroll off.
Another good reason why you shouldn't move threads into the "correct" forum. If the user later finds the correct one and posts again, now you have a double post. Yes, leave it here, either it'll change subject into a "forum comments" topic or fall of the page. Actually as of now it is officially a forum comment thread about not moving threads, like it or not.
Obey the forum thought police. Violators will be locked, deleted and banned.

Cant install new language package on mobile dictio...

Hi,
im trying to install on my 5800 new language(thai)
i have english,hebrew.bulgarian,
when im install the thai language , the software want to remove other language and i need to choose , but i can remove only the hebrew language.
i want to remove the bulgarian, and there is no option to remove it..
i hope there is a solution for this problem..
there is a way to uninstall all the dictionary software and reinstall it with the language that i want to install ?

Hi there!
Regarding your concern in downloading a language package for your phone 5800 XpressMusic, actually it's possible you just have to open the diction ary application on your phone then once it prompts you Only English Language install, install other language? so press yes and it will direct you to the Nokia Website, but if you don't see it press Options inside the mobile dictionary and then look for Language and then you have there the selection download, same thing you'll be routed to the Nokia Website, just select the Language but make sure that the language is being used in your country because if your phone will not support it, you will not be able to use that language you downloaded.
Hope tis' help!

Cant install itunes update

I recently updated my ipod to find out that itunes also needed to be updated. When I clicked update, everything was going fine until it was installing. I got the error "C:\Program Data \ 34BE82C4-E596-4e99-A191-52C6199EB69\ Get Last error:5" There was another post with the same error but the solution didnt work for me. I uninstalled everything that is related to apple and its still not working. Running windows 7.
Help please, getting really frustrated.

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies. The user tip also has links to the current and recent builds in case you need to revert to an alternate or older version as a workaround.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
