Something has gone crazy wrong with my 'contacts' for e-mail and the addresses are all a jumble of letters. What do I do?

I read one of my e-mail letters and wanted to forward it. When I clicked on the contact list to send "to" all the address were just a jumble of letters. ie: jdnter:@mdjl . Nothing made any sense. Has my e-mail been tampered with? Any suggestions? Please HELP
I went back to try to 'copy' a sample to send to you but everything was back to normal. What happened?

Are you using a key scrambler extension (Comcast Constant Guard) ?

Removing imlib2-cvs: "something has gone horribly wrong

Hi there,
I did a pacman -Syu today, and pacman wanted to replace imlib2-cvs with imlib2. So far, so good. I said "yes" to the removal, but pacman complained that ffmpeg and adesklets require imlib2-cvs.
So I deinstalled those two packages.
Now, if I try to upgrade, I get the following error message:
error: something has gone horribly wrong
If I pacman -R imlib2-cvs, it claims that imlib2-cvs is required by adesklets and ffmpeg--even though those two packages have been removed.
So obviously, something has gone wrong with the pacman "database." Question is: how can I fix it? Delete the entries for adesklets and ffmpeg in /var/lib/pacman? Delete the entry for imlib2-cvs? Do something completely different?
Some feedback would be much welcome. I hope my system is not broken for good ...
Cheers,
-Sascha.rb

pacman -Rd imlib2-cvs
pacman -S imlib2
... let me install the new imlib2 package, after all. No idea whether it fixed the weird dependency issue I had ("something has gone horribly wrong"), but at least it's working ...

Pacman: "something has gone horribly wrong"

Hi all,
So I started The Big Xorg Upgrade on my laptop. First I removed xorg (to get around the bitstream fonts conflict) and started pacman -Syu. During the package downloads I noticed that I still use some old configuration where the downloads come from ftp.nethat.com , which is very far from me, whereas now I have a much closer mirror ftp.estpak.ee . So I killed pacman and wget, corrected pacman.conf, and rerun pacman -Syu. The downloads were finished nicely, but then I got the following message:
checking package integrity...done
error: something has gone horribly wrong
I have never seen such an error before, and probably I should not have seen it at all. But still I did:) So can anyone tell me what it is about and under which conditions is it shown? Should I file a bug report?
Jan
Edit: I cleared the package cache, downloaded all the packages from the same source and I still get the same message. So it was not a problem caused by the interrupted upgrade (and in fact I have done interrupted upgrades in the past with no problems). Any ideas and/or explanations are greatly welcome.

pacman -S xorg
then the full update?
Tried that and the message is still the same.

Yeah, Arch is not for cowards:D
But the mystery still stays ... any comments from the developers?

Something has gone horribly wrong...

After a days long battle to get my cd's and audiobooks loaded on to my iPod video, all seemed well. On the four hour drive to my girlfriend's parents' house we listened to most of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe." When we got to her parents' house I plugged the iPod into their Mac (my computer is a PC) to recharge it and to use iTunes to try and get all our audiobooks to be in listed under "audiobooks" instead of "songs."
But then something went horribly wrong. When I looked at the contents of my iPod, almost all the tracks had little exclamation points next to them indicating that the file's location was unknown. In fact, some of the tracks that we'd just been listening to moments before were now missing!
This is very bad because we're in the process of leaving the country for several years, my computer is now in storage and the reason we bought the iPod was so that we could have stories for our long drive and music once we got there.
Can I fix this problem without reloading everything?
Thanks,
Ben

Sorry for your loss. This is generally how the iPod works. It is part of the way that Apple is trying to make the recording history by not (easily) allowing people to copy their playlists from machine to machine.
If you have iTunes set to automatically manage your playlists for that iPod it will replace the contents of the iPod when you hook it up to another computer. It should have given you a message that says something like "This iPod is managed by another computer. If you proceed you will loose all songs on this iPod."
At least I think that is probably what happened. You aren't completely clear, but is seems that a few songs were left? If that is the case I don't know how it happened. Perhaps you are using different versions of iTunes and that had something to do with it.
It may be possible to get the music back, but I don't know how to do it. Reloading everything is probably your best bet. Depending upon how much stuff you have and the capacity of your iPod you might want to carry a "backup" of all the files as data. Then if you lost them in the playlists part, you could hook to a friends computer, copy all the data off that partition and reload it. Good luck with that.
If you get the music restored you might want to look into getting a charger of some sort. You won't always be able to count on hooking up to somebody else's computer.

Seems something has gone terribly wrong!

Tonight while doing my normal 'backup update' with SuperDuper, the iMac's updater started and froze. Next thing I notices was that SuperDuper was trying to backup 455,000 new files and also froze because (?) it ran out of space on the backup drive! Very strange in that the total space used on iMac HD was just under 200GB and the backup drive's formated capacity is 230GB. First of all, I find it hard to believe that there are nearly 1/2 million files on the iMac, since I've only had it in service a couple of weeks and own very few application. No idea where those files came from or even if they are real.
Anyone have any suggestions as to how I can run down this problem? This is my first Mac and I'm not familiar with the diagnotic and reporting tools I have available.
iMac G5 (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.5)

After talking to SuperDuper it appears that the file that was being backed up was the same was that was being updated. Some sort of loop resulted and the rest is history. I erased the backup drive and repeated the backup, and all went well with space left over. OK on the large file count. I'm all for flushing as much to HD as possible, rather than leaving it in RAM until the program is closed, as apparently Windows does. I've learned my lesson. From now on, no more scheduled updates.

Anyone having trouble with emails? My email titles and sender addresses are swapped on several emails.

Thanks for your quick reply - yes it is - I have fiddles with some of the settings but yes these are all correct for the appropriate servers....it totally has me stumped as I've never had this issue before

Something has gone terribly wrong?

I don't know what on earth has happened to cause this, but here is my situation: I click open my hard drive icon and my former list in the far left column is gone...i formerly had desktop, movies, the little house, applications, music and documents. NOW in the left column I only have 3 items: "backup" (external drive currently connected), "network" and my "hard drive" icons. The second column showing what's on my hard drive no longer has documents, movies, the little house, music.....it's all gone except for applications, library, system, users.
On my desktop, suddenly there is an untitled folder and when i click it open all the contents of my Backup hard drive are shown in the correct columns. This folder says there is 0 items in it though it is packed with everything as if I had clicked open my hard drive.
I am at a loss for words........how could my documents have disappeared......
help.

OK. So I'm a moron. I clicked on "view tool bar" and it came back. Part of my problem is I never figured out this new mac organizational system. I just don't get it. I am stuck in the old 9 operating system zone. This columned visual just looks too much like a PC with all their portioned drives.........can't stand the fourteen different columns I have to go through to get where I want to go. I guess I need a tutorial. Anybody know of any free ones out there?
Thanks for your time.

HT1212 I have a used Iphone 4S with a passcode that was forgotten and the original computer is no longer in service, what can I do.

I have a used Iphone 4S that I am trying to unlock but don't have the original computer and don't know the password, how can I get by this?

The only thing to do is to follow the information on the support document that you linked from that talks about not syncing with a computer. Read further down. You will have to restore the phone as new. Also, make sure you have the Apple ID and password for the original owner that activated the phone, unless they have already deactivated Find My iPhone.

Blocked Contacts for iPhone 6 and the call-waiting distinctive ringtone

Does anyone know if you block a contact on an iPhone 6 and you both have Verizon, will the call waiting distinctive ring still work (The caller hears a ring and beep if you are on the other line)? Or does it only work for non-blocked contacts? Thanks!

Hi 808iphoneuser,
Unwanted calls can be annoying! Just to clarify, which block are you using? There is a block that comes on the iPhone 6 that can be placed via the device, or have you placed the VZW Call & Message block http://vz.to/MqEgqB on that number?
Thanks,

Ccplauncher will not install on my iMac with os 10.9.3 get message Oops something has gone wrong, please try again

Tried to install the mac version of ccplauncher i then got a message oops something has gone wrong, please try again.

I have allow apps from anywhere already set on my packaging system. And it was working prior to the update. It went through a self updating process and now gives this error. It's almost like a networking issue, like it can't complete communicating with adobe, because a reinstall doesn't resolve the issue.

[Kinda solved] "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." with gnome-fallback

After some upgrades today, I got with an unusable gnome. On every startx it failed with the window "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again." (forcing you to close the session, just to reappear on restart)
After ~6 hours on this, and downgrading several packages to no avail, I discovered that the file /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session had been removed.
As I use gnome-fallback, the dconf key “org.gnome.desktop.session” contains “gnome-fallback”, and that apparently requires such file to exist
If you need to change the key with command-line:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name gnome-fallback
I finally got a working system by copying /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome.session to /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session and changing -use a text editor- its line "RequiredComponents=gnome-shell;gnome-settings-daemon;" to "RequiredComponents=metacity;gnome-settings-daemon;gnome-panel"
I hope this serves others to fix this issue.
I still miss the upper applet bar (although perhaps due to uninstalling then reinstalling gnome-panel), and key shortcuts (such as Alt-tab) are not working, but most functionality is there.
If you end up at a desktop with no menus, a way to work is to make in the desktop a symlink to /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.

I apologize for my post above....it's misleading. The bug in question is regarding a similar failure with gnome, but involving the standard session, not fallback. The fallback issue may be one of deprecation, I've read that gnome was no longer supporting it as software rendering was considered 'good enough'.
So if you are having the issue described in the OP you may want to file a separate bug. I posted my bug here as a result of a quick skim of the post and replies to it. After re-reading it, I see they are separate issues.

Oh no! Something has gone wrong... after update

Hi all!
Yesterday I updated my Arch with `pacman -Syu`. After reboot all gone fine until GDM load. From now on I get background briefly displayed and after 1 second or so I get a screen with:
Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occured and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator.
...and a picture of a monitor with sad emotion
Not too informative.
I've looked syslog, messages, dmesg, gdm logs and found nothing special in them. Trying to `rc.d stop gdm` spawns it again with same symphtoms.
I have ThinkPad E420 (Intel graphics) if it matters.
Where should I look to narrow down the problem? Thanks in advance.

Omg, got it!
I've fount something like:
JS ERROR: !!! Exception was: Error: Argument 'text' (type utf8) may not be null
JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '0'
JS ERROR: !!! fileName = '"gjs_throw"'
JS ERROR: !!! stack = '"("Argument 'text' (type utf8) may not be null")@gjs_throw:0
()@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/dateMenu.js:212
in /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log and after few tries and errors I deduced the problem to a line in /etc/locale.conf
export LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
I commented it out and voi-la, gnome started as usual. Crazy, crazy day…
Now the question is still open. Have anybody ideas how could ever such thing stop GDM and Gnome from starting?! How could I return back my local date/time format?

Something has gone crazy wrong with my 'contacts' for e-mail and the addresses are all a jumble of letters. What do I do?
