[Solved] vlc updating doesn't work properly.

pacman -Sy vlc

happens when you are not installing properly packages. NEVER do pacman -Sy vlc. things may break because is not pulling updates too.
pacman -Syu vlc

  • Adobe Reader updater doesn't work properly in Windows 7

    For the longest time, I've been receiving update notifications from Adobe Reader, prompting me to upgrade. I always say ok, download the update. Then it always takes like 1 second to download (hard to believe it's that fast), then I get the install window. I press the "Install" button and the window disappears and I don't receive any additional messages... Until I reboot my computer and I get again the same update download prompt window.
    So it seems the update doesn't work and that's why I get that message EVERYTIME I reboot the PC. Not matter if I reboot every 5 minutes, I always get that message.
    Please, fix your updater so it doesn't annoy the user like this with non working updates!
    Since the updater doesn't work, is there a way to disable it? Thank you!

    Ok, I've added the registry setting you mentioned, then I've started "AdobeARMHelper.exe" again to get the tray notification about the available update. Then I've clicked it, I got the download window, I clicked "Download", then 1 second later I got another tray notification about the update being ready to install (maybe it takes so little time because the update is already in my computer and so it doesn't download anything). Then I clicked the tray notification and got the install window. I clicked Install, and nothing else happened, as always.
    Then, I've checked the "AdobeARM.log" file, and now it shows the following:

    It seems there are some errors in Spanish, probably because they come from Windows, which is configured in Spanish in my PC. "El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado" means "The system cannot find the file specified".
    I hope you can find the problem with that information.

  • Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Since updating to Mavericks, Mail doesn't work properly.  It just stops working (no error messages--it just won't check for new mail) and I must shut it down and reopen it to get it working again.  Any suggestions?

    Try to force quit the mail app
    Double tap the home button. When you see the app previews on the screen scroll sideways if needed to get the preview in question on the screen. Flick that preview up and off the screen to close the app. Single tap the home button or home screen preview to exit the mode.
    Failing that, go into the settings, mail, contacts and calendars and remove your account info then put it back in and see if that works

  • Microsoft Outlook doesn't work properly since I updated to Mavericks?!

    Hello.. so yeah ever since I updated to Mavericks, Outlook from Microsoft Office 2011 doesn's work properly. It won't pop up with a window to either reply, forward or write a new e-mail and it gets annoying because I need it for work. So it's totally useless. I don't want to be deleting and installing MO again because my friend did it for me and I don't know all the registration details to prove it's legit or something and I don't want stuff deleted. Sooo.... can anyone help? I don't know how to get it to work, so frustrating!

    What Apple wants from his customers?
    1) I've paid my iPhone 4S 900 euros;
    2) I'm used to buy music and apps from iTunes store;
    3) my iCloud space costs 32 euros per year
    and, like me, millions of customers around the world!
    and Apple does not allow me (and many others) to use the internet traffic for which I (we) pay my (our) provider, that's not among those that directly sell iPhone??? Is this your idea of a really unblocked device as you falsely declsre from the pages of Apple online store ?!? Shame on you!
    If I had know that the 7.1 led to this I'd never updated my iPhone. No one (Apple and the sites that live because of her) told about this issue in their enthusiastic comments on the new, updated version, of iOS. Shame on you!
    This would claim a class action against such a behaviour!
    I'm disgusted
    thank you

    since the last update yesterday to firefox 4.0.1 my program “asus security protect manager” doesn’t work properly. That means, that the saved keys from several websites not remembered for lock in.

    Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
    *[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If that works post back for further advice.
    Next step, if safe mode did not work.
    <u>First: Try a clean install, <sub>(you have had a none standard version installed previously)</sub></u><br /> that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
    See
    * this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
    <u>Second: try a New Profile</u>
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
    * this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
    **[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
    * Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
    ** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
    ** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
    ** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

    Hey rcaudillo,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your Sleep/Wake button. The following article outlines some troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Sleep/Wake button will not lock or unlock iPhone
    1. To lock the phone, press the Sleep/Wake button. Note: By default, if you don't touch the screen for a minute, iPhone locks automatically.
    2. To unlock iPhone, press the Home button or the Sleep/Wake button, then slide the slider.
    3. If either of the above steps don't work, try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    4. If the iPhone will not power off, reset it.
    5. Try to lock or unlock the phone.
    If you continue to have issues, we may need to isolate the issue further to determine if it is hardware related. The best way to do this would be to restore your iPhone as new:

  • My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
    Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.
    My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.
    I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.

    Let's help solve this mystery together! Is your screen freezing after every reboot? Is there any physical/liquid damage on the device? When did this issue begin? Did you notice this after a recent update or application download?

  • Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

    Hello!
    I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
    Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
    I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
    things I have tried and they still not help:
    # drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
    # driver settings, low latency, high latency
    # asio and different settings
    # pluging the interface to another usb socket.
    # trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
    # updated bios
    # turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
    # checked IRQ list
    pops still appear.
    my config:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
    Win XP Home SP3
    Celeron M 1,5GHz
    896Mb ram
    M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
    Kind regards

    Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
    I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
    Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

  • Sorting albums by year doesn't work properly in new iTunes 11.

    Sorting albums by year doesn't work properly in new iTunes 11.
    See the screenshots below.
    There's a kind of albums. Double CD in one set. Queen "The Works" 1984, for example.
    First CD is the original release and the second one is bonus CD for the original album's reissue in 2011.
    iTunes 10 took year info from track 1 of CD1 for "sort album by year" function.
    But new iTunes 11 takes the highest value of year in the album's track list.
    Same things with additional bonus tracks for the album's reissues.
    See the screenshot of Madonna "Like a Virgin" 1984 album.
    So my collection is in a huge mess after last update to iTunes 11.
    It's a big problem. And must be solved to the next update.

    I noticed this too, and I think it gets even more complicated when you think about the difference between how you want Re-releases to be ordered: based upon the intial release year (like you have described above), and Compilations or Greatest Hits: where you want them to be sorted by when the albums were actually released. iTunes 11 seems to just grab the date of the most recently released song on an album. This worked fine for 2/3 of my Compilation albums, because they just happened to be released the same year as the latest song on each album.
    Compilation example (released: 2003, latest song on album: 1969):
    This is what I submitted to Apple as feedback:
    This issue is actually aimed at  iTunes 11, but 10.6.3 is the most recent version number I could select in the drop-down menu.
    As with normal albums, iTunes 11 puts a release year next to "Various Artists" in Albums > Expanded View (and also in the Songs and Genre Tabs). However, iTunes seems to produce this number by looking for the last released song on the album. This has worked fine for 2/3 of my compilations, but the third one is a 60s compilation released in 2003. It displays "1969" next to "Various Artists" and there are no tags available in Get Info to change this. This also happens to greatest hits collections.
    When selecting View > View Options > "Artist" then "Year" in Album view, and View > View Options > "Year" in Artist and Genre view, the above issue causes compilations, greatest hits collections, and re-releases (Although users may want re-releases to be listed in order of original release) to be sorted in the wrong order.
    Considering iTunes 11 has added this feature (in previous iTunes versions, "Year" would only appear next to individual tracks), it is a shame an "Album Year" or "Sort Album Year" hasn't been added to the Get Info options.
    As is, the only solution I can think of is to change all track years to the release year of the album.
    I imagine this might be a bit of an edge case, and not something the majority of iTunes users would care about, but then again, I could imagine a fair number of musicphiles wanting control over this metadata.
