Tar.xz archives not correctly recognized anymore...

Seems that with a few updates (seen a few specific to xz) that a host of .tar.xz archives I've made are not being properly recognized... file-roller used to see them all just fine a few months ago, but attempting to open them today, I got a few with the standard "archive not recognized" error in file-roller and xarchiver. Xarchiver will let me extract some of those archives, but the extracted archives end up being .tar archives. When I originally made this with file-roller, it could pack and unpack tar.xz archives in a single effort. Am I experiencing an uncommon issue or is this just not being talked about because those who have had the issue wrote it off since it was hit or miss?

exact error:
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
will see if I can find a file I'm able to share, as these files are backups of CD rips from programs I legally own, but can't legally share...

3rd gen iPod nano is not correctly recognized on new Windows 7 iTunes

Moved my iTunes library from old PC to new Win7 PC via direct iTunes folder copy.
Looked ok
but when I connect my 3rd Gen Nanos, I get dire warnings that I have to authorize new PC with my son's AppleID not mine (was originally his iPod but long since factory reset and reloaded) or else iTunes will delete purchased songs. (The new PC is authorized for my Apple Id).
I have 2 of these iPods and the other one was never my son's so I don't know why it also thinks it needs his id.
When we check my son's account and look at devices, the iPods are not listed. (maybe only newer iOS devices are listed?) So I can't "remove" the iPods from that account via the iTunes Store account profile.
yes, I have tried reinstalling iTunes and wiping the registry - no luck. If I "cancel" when the dire warnings come up instead of authorizing using my son's account, then the iPod is not recognized at all by iTunes (does appear as external drive in Windows) and I have to reinstall .... again.
My questions are:
1) do the old iPods themselves some how store the original Apple ID they were associated with?
2) If so, how can I reset to use my Apple ID?
Will "factory reset" work?
What I don't want is to reset and then find out I can't reload using current iTunes library associated with current Apple ID
3) I don't think this will solve the problem but: in iTunes, can I separately sign in with both IDs and authorize the computer with both IDs? Can a single instance/install/library of iTunes use 2 different AppleIDs? (there are not 2 users on this PC - just 1. So just 1 iTunes instance, just 1 library)
More details:
I tried:
If I authorize the new PC for my son's account which the ipod and Itunes seems to want, then when the iPods are connected, all the song's listed in the library in main/right pane are greyed out and can't be selected. I don't recall this being a problem on the old PC so something seems wrong.
I am concerned that:
If I give up and authorize this PC for both Apple Id's, then what? If I buy something new from iTunes (using, can I sync it to the iPod?

Never mind, I think. I think I figured it out. There was 1 song (out of > 900!) that somehow had been purchased with the other ID - I have no idea how. Once I deleted that song, it stopped asking.
There may be something with the newest iTunes version too. I didn't think in older versions that the "On this iPod" list of songs was greyed out. But at least it syncs ok.

My ipod is not being recognized anymore by my computer- HELP!

i have an HP- i use windows home as my software, and i have a 20gb ipod... it's less than a year old...

Musicmatch Tags not correctly recognized by Itunes

I have all my CD's already in Musicmatch in wave format, when I copy the file into Itunes library, Tags are not recognized properly by Itunes. Artist, Album, track number... come in one string of Character and goes in first column of the library (name)
How can I convert Musicmatch Tags to get them recognized properly by Itunes?
What type od Tags Itunes is using?
Thanks in advance

it sounds like your problem is that the ID3 tags associated with your music in musicmatch aren't filled in all the way or something. I've googled around looking for some help for your situation and this program appears to be able to provide a fix for your situation. It can take all your songs, update/change the tags, and then after you do that you could theoretically import them into itunes and it would work. Hope it helps.

TS1410 My ipod nano 2nd generation is not recognized anymore by iTunes 11.1.5 whereas it was recognized by previous version of itunes

Hi,
I encounter a problem with my ipod nano (2 nd generation) because it not recognized anymore by itunes. When I say not recognized I mean that the ipod does not appear in the devices field of itunes. I do not know exactly when this problem appeared : i do not synchronize often my ipod but before with my macbook pro the synchronisation worked. iTunes sees others devices such as my iphone 5 and iPhone 4 with respectively iOS 7 and iOS 6.0.1. My macbook pro is updated with Maverick 10.9.2 and itunes is the 11.5.5 version. My MacBook pro is from 2009. With previous version of iTunes I know that my ipod could be synchronized.
I did not find any solution on the Apple Support, so I decided to send this post. If someone already encountered this problem and found th solution it would be very helpful ....

Hello, Jonny-CH.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Here is an article that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.

When I plug my iPod into the computer, itunes won't come up on the screen and my iPod is not recognized anymore and it use to be. Please help because I can't sync it at all because it won't show up as a device on the right hand side of itunes.

Try
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs
New cable and different USB port?
Runs this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem

Hello johnohuk,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like most of your music was purchased from the iTunes Store. If your country supports iTunes in the Cloud, you can download your past purchases using this article:

Recursive scanning of .tar.bz2 archives / Older release notes

This is actually a two part question, but the two parts are somewhat related. 1) Recursive scanning of .tar.bz2 archives If I create a new content filter to match on executables (attachment-filetype == "Executable") this detects directly attached exe files. It also detects exe files in .zip-archives, and it detects renamed exe files in .zip archives. All is well. What it does not detect are exe files in .tar.bz2 archives. This surprised me as this is not an especially obscure format, and the Ironport lists tar and bz (along with zip) in the Compressed mime category. Maybe this is a bug, and it's fixed in a newer release (this is on 6.5.2-101). Which brings me to the next question 2) Older release notes Where can I find release notes for the releases between 6.5.2-101 and the current release (7.0.1), in order to find if this was fixed along the way?

Not sure about the tar.bz2 archives, but the older release notes can be found on the support portal under Appliance Documentation > Email. There is a small link at the top right corner of the page "earlier releases". Yes, its very well hidden

You will need to contact the iTunes Store.

Window sizes settings have somehow changed and my windows do not open in the correct size anymore. How do I get my original window sizes to come back PERMANENTLY?

After upgrading to FF 10.0, my window sizes are not correct. I use a web-based invoicing system and my invoice windows used to open to the size of the invoice. Now, it opens invoices in full screen. I need the invoice windows to open the way the site tells them to open. How do I make that happen again and never change after that?

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it.

How to uncompress *.tar.gz archive with p7zip (or gunzip)?

How do I uncompress a.tar.gz archive with p7zip?
I tried the following (as root from directory /tmp):
p7zip -d "/media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz"
without success. p7zip tells me: "unknown suffix"
Even (as root from /tmp directory)
gunzip -d "/media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz"
does not work. I was told "No such file or directory"
But I am sure the path to DVD is correct. I can see it in File Browser
So how else can I uncompress a *.tar.gz (to /tmp folder)?
I guess the extracted output should automatically be put in the directory where p7zip/gunzip is started.
If an additional output directory parameter is necessary then the output should go to /tmp

The Solaris 11 tar command actually understands gz format:
tar xf /media/Backup Full/logfiles2014.03.tar.gz
Much simpler. See the man page for tar.

Apple ID username, password not correct for imessenger ios 6

i just upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4 and imessenger is fine to send and receive but when i go to settings and try to register it with my apple ID i get an error that the username and password are not correct, although i am usung the apple ID fine in app store for example. anyone knows what this is?
also, i was wondering, while setting up my iphone after the upgrade to ios 6, in one of teh steps when i started using the phone, it asked for teh apple ID password to do soemthing related to icloud, imessenger and facetime. it also gave the option on the phone screen to "skip this step" which i did, i skiped the stem and thought if i wanted to i can go back and do it manually from the settings any time. i think it was something related to downloading new features for the icloud. i messenger and facetime.
could this have been the case? but i mean if i had the option to "skip the step" it means that it is not something drastic and can always be done manually later.
anyone has feedback?

Hi again, well I can't answer that question, because my computer IS asking for my apple ID and password to install Rosetta Stone. I would have appreciated you taking the time to help me, if you had had any advice for me. Since I posted this, I have found the answer so I don't need your time anymore, however. I eventually went to my settings and SET a password, which solved the problem. I recently reset my computer and all my records had been wiped- I was unaware that my computer settings had deleted my old password which had been saved on it- not realizing that its data would be seperate from the other numerous places I have used it the past week since I got it back. An answer that would seem like a no-brainer, but since it hadn't needed to be done until then for any other previous installs since the reset, it appeared last on my to-do list.

IPod Composite AV cable is not being recognized

Hey there,
I bought an "Networx iPod Composite AV cable" (for Ipod touch 2G) at a Gravis store (certified retailer).
Now, ever since I bought the new software (3.0) and updated Itunes to 9.x this cable will only allow me to to charge the Ipod, however it is not being recognized in Itunes.
I have read that some cables do not contain a specific chip that authorizes the connection between the Ipod and Itunes. However, before I paid for the software update, it was still working and when buying the update Apple did not provide any information about third party cables (which comes from a certified reseller) not being supported anymore.
Is there a way of fixing this? I have already reset the Ipod, yet that did not change anything.
Do I need to jailbreak it to make it work?
Thanks.

I'm comfused - isn't a Composite AV cable for conecting your ipod to a TV - not Itunes?
