Tiger hangs after system updates

Have friend with iMac running Tiger was way behind on all OS patches. After the software updates installed the Mac asked to reboot. I initiated the reboot and the finder quit but the Mac would not go all the way down. I eventually hard reset the Mac but it would not boot past the same place.
How should I trouble shoot this problem?

Hi rodgerdodger, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Safari hangs after system update

My safari v 5.1.7 hangs while trying to open iys homepage (ie. Yahoo) after a system update. Currently system version is 10.6.8
I have tried various methods such as emptying cache, reset safari and update DNS Servers in the Network. And none works.
Please help

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

[SOLVED] boot hangs after system update

Hi, I upgraded to latest kernel26 and latest udev packages, but unfortunately my system hangs somewhere early at boot, the last lines I see are:
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
done.
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/7133...
EXT4-fs (sda3): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode
mount: proc already mounted
and after that nothing. No error or anything. I have no idea what's wrong. I tried downgrading my kernel to 2.6.33 and also tried downgrading udev to 251, but with no luck. However with an archlinux-livecd I am able to mount all my drives and chroot to the system.
Does anyone have an idea, what might be wrong?
greetings,
Niclas
EDIT: I just reinstalled archlinux, no problems so far

Lack of 3g after system update

Hello :-)
It's problem with Xperia E dual
Few days ago I updated the system to the 4.1.1 version (compilation 11.3.A.1.39).
Unfortunatelly after updating I've discovered that smartphone don't works with 3G. On the display I've only icon "E". Before updating there was typically "H". Of course now the transfer is slower than before and of course I'm not happy of that.
I try to solve this problem - choose in menu list of available provider and... there are only 2G nets. Because I've functioning still in the same place of live and the problem has occured after the updating I'm sure that it's strictly connected.
Is there any solution for that?
Another problem is with trying to call. After system updating typically twice a day I have to restart smartphone because it's totally hanged. No one can connect with me and I can't call to anybody. Smartphone looks normally and doesn't give any siglan that something is wrong. But when I try to connect to somebody I direst the number and... there is no signal at all. After few seconds telephon return to main menu. There is also no record about this trial of connection in the list of done connections. It's very uncomfortable situation.
Sure, there are also some adventages with the system updating but problems mentioned above are really annoing.
Have you any solutions for it?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, try repairing phone software with PC Companion or Update Service.
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
Be aware that this will erase phone data completely, backup if necessary.
Before proceeding with software repair, confirm with your Network Operator that there is nothing wrong with the network. Also, remove and reinsert SIM card and try again (have a close look at the contact surface, ensure that it is relatively clean).

Arch hangs on boot after system update

After I ran 'pacman -Syyu' yesterday, my Arch install won't boot anymore. Instead, it hangs after 'Reached target Graphical Interface' with a blinking underscore. It is the first time I've encountered such problems after running Arch for almost a year and frequently updating. Am I right to assume it might have something to do with the recent kernel/nvidia drivers update?

Keep checking archlinux site - information was posted here https://www.archlinux.org/news/nvidia-340xx-and-nvidia/

Itunes hang after latest updates

Since the last updates to my iMac iI find that the iTunes is constantly Hanging. It does not matter if I'm not using iTunes, as soon as its working in the background it hangs sooner or later. When I work with my music files in iTunes it usually hangs after less than 30 minutes.
How can this be?
I do not want to start with a new music player since I have used iTunes for the last 10 years and I have all my music in it.
But the way its acting now it seem like I have to use something else since iTunes is simply not working properly.

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
[Process started]
        Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
        Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.
[Process completed]
The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "The message contains invalid characters." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

After System Update keyboard doesn't work -MacBook

Here is what happened and I was able to fix, someway... but not definetly.
I updated to Snow Leopard and everything was fine. After I launched System Update to finish the update, I installed a few ones then I rebooted.
At the login I realized that some of the keys didn't work anymore. Namely
0 = P ] ; \ / ENTER
those what I found.
With the help of the virtual keyboard I was able to take a look at the log and I noticed that the /System/Library/Extensions/AppleHIDKeyboard.kext was updated just before the last working configuration...
Luckily I had a bootable backup of the system before Snow Leopard, so I boot from the external USB drive and copied the old AppleHIDKeyboard.kext in place of the new one, that I saved with .bak extension.
I rebooted and the keyboard was properly working again.
I think my fix is "dirty". I experienced some slowdowns here and there and I found a log message stating:
com.apple.kextcache[271] AppleHIDKeyboard.kext does not declare a kernel dependency; using com.apple.kernel.6.0.
I'm wondering why the keyboard stopped working and if there is a better way to fix it.
Any comment? (Please)
All log messages containig "keyboard" follows
Thanks

It is never a good idea to mix system components like kext's from different OS X versions. If you right-click on for instance the AppleHIDKeyboard.kext & choose "Show contents" you will see that it is a bundle composed of many individual files. Many of these files contain information about files in other OS bundles. Similarly, other OS bundles may contain info about the files in this bundle. This tells the OS what +set of files+ it can & can't use for various functions.
IOW, kext's are not self-contained, functionally independent items. When you replace one with one from a different OS version, its info about other files usually won't be right. This can & very often does cause problems. Some are minor but others can cause progressively greater problems, eventually damaging the OS enough that it becomes inoperative.
So, your fix is almost certainly "dirty."
It's also not addressing the source of the problem. There is nothing wrong with Snow Leopard's AppleHIDKeyboard.kext file (version 1.2.0). Snow Leopard works perfectly well with my & thousands of other users' MacBooks. The cause of your problem could be many things, but this is not one of them. If you can accept that, there are several things you can do to find the cause, starting with running the Apple Hardware Test to see if it finds up any problems with your MacBook.

BannerMaker not working after system update.

Hello all,
I am not trusting Apple now for system updates anymore, because the last couple of updates, after updating my system software, I have problems. I never have these issues with Windows.
Getting to my point, I use BannerMaker (an app created by some Fed agency that I had found googling because Apple doesn't support it as standard, and Windows already had this for years to comply with DOD requirements) to use for a login warning legal note, etc. This goes on to the login window only when you disable the icon/name login. I was in the process of updating it and it told me that the loginwindow.plist wasn't found. I found it on the Spotlight, but I had no way of changing it.
I should also note that after the system update, the login process reverted back to the icon/name login, which never happened. I always require me and another user to type their username because to protect the user's privacy.
How can I get BannerMaker to work again, or how can I get into that file so I can change it and I also want to know if other users had their loginwindow settings mysteriously affected by the update?
I am really disappointed by the lousy updates that paralyzes my security and other issues with previous updates, which I won't get into. I am disappointed with Apple right now.
Steven

I had a feeling that was going to happen. Well I just don't have the patience to do that. Apple needs to go onto the Windows system that you could delete specific updates rather than reinstalling the system software. And I also don't like how updates affect work around apps, how they close them down because they are not authorized software. I need a secure system, and Apple won't let me. **** to screw with them, I might just give my mother my MacBook and I go get a Windows notebook. I had nothing but problems since I got this MacBook.

My iPad will not sync after system update and returns message that my computer is no longer authorised.

Please help me sync my iPad as it is not able to sync after a system update. Several messages 1. Computer no longer authorised and when I reauthorise it it prepares to sync and then it tells me my iPad cannot be written to,

Hi leefromwoodford,
The following article will tell you how to transfer purchased music from your iPhone to the your Mac -
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Specifically -
Transferring purchases
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store, synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
Open iTunes.
From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
Note that the computer must be authorized for the Apple ID under which the purchases were made.
You may also want to download the music directly from the iTunes store, rather than using the iPhone. See this article -
Download past purchases

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Can't boot after system update: unknown filesystem type

After running a system update, including updating the kernel, I can't boot to the new kernel.
On booting, grub loads the kernel image, runs/loads udev, but then fails to mount the root partition with error:
mount: unknown filesystem type 'ext4'
I have tried reinstalling the 'linux' package via packman several times, also trying the --recursive argument to make sure all my dependencies were there, and after days of googling and tweaking my system, I'm at a loss.
Thank goodness I happened to keep a spare kernel laying around in /boot.
Thanks in advance.

The OP can read their partition initially though, it's only after udev that they can't.
Also, try adding "rootfstype=ext4" to your grub kernel line. Is your /boot on a separate partition or part of your / partition?

Xperia z1 Problem AFTER system update to latest software 14.3.A.0.681

Hello people, First of all let my just say that I am new into the ''smartphones world'' so please excuse my queries if they proof to be 'obvious' to you! I have carried out a system update to my Xperia Z1 phone yesterday (Android 4.4.2. kitkat, latest available software 14.3.A.0.681). The update seem to have been correctly performed. However I have since encounter the following issues/problems with my phone and do not know how to fix them: 1) First of all my phone will no longer rotate...why is this? Is this related to the update?? Pictures/photos can no longer rotate and also phone screen does no longer rotate! Why is this..? 2) Second the 'Notifications Bar' structure has changed : is this also the result of the update or can I do something in settings to fix it and make it as before? When I scroll dawn the notifications bar, the icons are no longer displayed at the top line but are instead spread underneath BUT this is AFTER I press 'Quick settings'. 3) Battery signal icon has changed completely: no lines included inside icon to show usage but instead usage %age is now displayed. Also, when I charge my phone, there is no icon flashing as before and now lights flashing.. 4) Also when I want to use the phone after it has remained unused for sometime it states 'swipe to unlock' and makes a 'funny' note upon performance of the act: this was not the case before.. Can you please help me with the above? I am freaking out because I am excited with my new phone and would love to make full use of it properly but it is a bit hard for me since I have no clue how to fix issues/problems appearing every now and then since I am new into these things.. Thanking you in advance

Hi there,
I think you have fixed your 1st issue.
2) Yes, Kitkat has changed the Notification Bar structure. Its a bit annoying, but to get around it you can use Widgets - Tools and select the Icon, such as WIFI to be placed on your home screen to avoid multiple clicks. You cant do anything in the settings to make it like before.
3) Battery Signal Icon - Again a Kitkat update has done that. The good thing is that it has enhanced Battery life considerably.
4) I am assuming you are stating about the "sound note" it makes when you swipe in. Thats again a Kitkat feature and you can get rid of it though Sound settings if you dont like it.
Reality is that Kitkat runs very well on Google Nexus 5. Apart from that it has issues on every other Android power Smartphone out there. I also own a Nexus 4 who recently got upgraded to Kitkat and compared it with Nexus 5. Was not impressed to be honest.
As of my upgrade on Z1, I have been facing Volume issues. When I play a video the volume is minimized for some reason. Pause and play again and it goes to Normal. I have to reboot it sometimes to play normally. It also takes ages to connect to my 3G provider, whereas previously it was fast enuf. I hope the next upgrade will fix those issues.

Problems Opening Outlook 2007 after system update

Hi,
I've been running Outlook 2007 on my Windows Vista machine for few years now. Last week a System update occurred and my machine locked up. I was forced to reboot the machine, and I took the option to "restore PC to last known working state"
which turned out to be a mistake - The update made another few changes to my system and since then MS Outlook has continually crashed. It's able to download (and delete) messages from the POP server, but when I navigate to the the Inbox Outlook crashes.
In desperation I've:
1) I've uninstalled Outlook, rebooted, reinstalled Outlook.
The same problem occurred
2) Uninstalled Outlook, renamed the AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook directory, rebooted, reinstalled Outlook.
Ms Outlook keeps trying to find the pst file which no longer exists.
I'm guessing, but are there some settings in the registry which need to be cleared out before I can reinstall. If so, where would they be?

Thanks for getting back to me - and so quickly as well.
I'm now able to launch Outlook, but when I navigate to any of the folders I get a message that says "Microsoft Office Outlook has stopped working" after which I have to close the program again. This was the original problem!
The event viewer doesn't give me much more information:
ID: 6, Application Name: Microsoft Office Outlook, Application Version: 12.0.4518.1014, Microsoft Office Version: 12.0.4518.1014. This session lasted 11 seconds with 0 seconds of active time. This session ended with a crash.

[solved] Pulseaudio doesn't detect sound card after system update

Before a recent system update I had pulseaudio working flawlessly, but after doing a recent system update with pacman -Syu,
pulseaudio no longer sees my sound card and only displays the Dummy audio device. Among the packages updated that I can
remember off the top of my head are the Linux keneral, udev, kmod, instead of trying to roll back my system I figured I would try
to fix the issue. The only thing suggested in the Pulseaudio wiki is that a asound.conf directory is overriding the /etc/asound.conf
file which is not the case on my system.
Looking at the output from lsmod I can see where the kernel modules for the sound card is getting loaded
snd_hda_intel 23375 0
snd_hda_codec 89160 3 snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
snd_hwdep 6389 1 snd_hda_codec
snd_pcm 74780 3 snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec_hdmi
snd_page_alloc 7153 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel
snd_timer 19544 1 snd_pcm
and looking at the output from the ps command I can see that pulseaudio is getting started
1190 ? S<l 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start
1195 ? S 0:00 \_ /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper
but pacmd list still reports this
0 card(s) available.
0 sink input(s) available.
0 source outputs(s) available.
0 cache entrie(s) available.
Here is the output of pacmd dump if it helps

Digging into this further aplay -L gives different output based off of whether or not I ran is as my normal user or with sudo/as root.
As a user (which is how pulseaudio is also being ran):
> aplay -L

as root it does see both my sound cards when I run it with sudo or as root:

This behavior is confusing to me, and if someone knows what is going on and how to fix it I really want to get sound with pulseaudio working and have sound again.
