Upgrading of linux does not complete -- if NFS server is unavailable
This is the second time I tried upgrading linux to 3.13 and both times it gets stuck
[inxsible ~ ]$ pacin linux
[sudo] password for inxsible:

It stays there for hours. Finally I had to Ctrl+C and then manually run
sudo mkinitcpio -P
Even this gets stuck at the [ autodetect ] module and I have to Ctrl+C it. Then it successfully builds the fallback image. Then I have to relogin via the fallback and re-install linux at which point the installation and generation of the initramfs image goes without a hitch.
I looked at the basic logs and nothing there was the obvious problem. Anyone else seen this ?
So this happened to me again when updating the linux package tonight.
As it happens, I have a NFS share that I access from this machine and that machine (a laptop) had been switched off. I saw this in the dmesg
[175434.699141] nfs: server toshiba not responding, timed out

[179633.098718] nfs: server toshiba not responding, timed out
So I switched on the laptop and after a while tried to install the package again and this time it worked. I still don't know why it would need a remote NFS server to be up while installing/upgrading linux locally

I upgraded iphone 4s to iOS6. Now phone just keeps rebooting with the apple sign showing on a black screen. It does not completely start up.
Hi Lisa 1952,
What have you done so far to try to fix it? I've tried rebooting several times and it did not work. Tried connecting to iTines but it does not recognize the iPhone.
My other iPhone 4s restarted successfully after the updgrade but some apps don't function properly. It automatically closes while in use.
Apple please help. I know it's the weekend but I need the other iPhone to work. Can't use sim with a diffrent phone because it's a micro sim! -
Does not complete processing of "Home" of the Creative Cloud desktop application
Someone know the way to fix the following issue?
After installed some Creative Cloud Software, I had uninstalled Adobe application manager manually and installed Creative Cloud desktop application manually. because automatic upgrade of creative cloud desktop application from adobe application manager does not work.
The creative cloud desktop application setup had been completed successfully. but, seems that it does not complete processing of displaying the history if I chose "Home". The progress Icon will stay in continuity. And any contents does not show on it.
Regards,I'm posting this in a few threads to try to catch everyone having the problem.
The good news is that I found a way to fix this.
The bad news is that it involves uninstalling everything. (Note that reinstalling over the old installs won't cover it, I'd tried that one once too. You'll have to fully uninstall each program before redownloading/reinstalling.)
I spent many hours with tech support yesterday running through options unsuccessfully, and can very thoroughly assure you that uninstalling the desktop app, renaming any number of folders, and new user accounts all will not help you. From doing a lot of research on various similar problems, it appears that it's possible for this to spontaneously resolve within a couple of hours. If it doesn't, though, you're stuck with fixing it yourself.
The best theory I found was that it's caused by updating or installing a program without doing it through CC. If you've downloaded an installer and run that or clicked "Check for updates" in the help menu inside one of the other apps, this is you. Other people have noted that if you know which app you did this with, you can uninstall that one to fix it. If you have no idea, the simplest path is to just uninstall everything. You can try doing things one at a time, but you'll need to reboot every time the uninstaller tell you to do so and then see if it's fixed. (Personally, I got sick of that by the second time through.) I do remember clicking "Check for updates" right around the time this started for me, but I don't know which program it was in, just that I knew it would trigger the updates I knew existed but CC wasn't acknowledging.
I will also note that once I had everything uninstalled, I ran the Cleaner Tool and did a "Clean All". If you're going to or need to do that, make sure you've backed up all of your preferences, customizations, plugins, and so forth as needed. -
Problem:
When I plug in my iPhone to sync, it starts but does not complete the process and several pieces of data are not being transferred to my iPhone from my MacBook Air.
Any help that you can provide in helping my iPhone accurately sync with iPhoto and iTunes will be greatly appreciated.
Symptoms:
1) Sync: It’s not completing the sync. Below, I’ve provided all of my settings from the iTunes Summary tab so that you might tell me if I’ve selected any incorrect options. I prefer to sync the “old school” way – by connecting to the computer – as opposed to syncing over the cloud. Perhaps this is what’s causing the problem? Here is a list of the steps displayed in the iTunes window as the sync progresses:
waiting for sync to start (step 1 of 7)
backing up (step 2 of 7)
preparing to sync (step 3 of 7)
determining apps to sync (step 4 of 7)
preparing apps to sync (step 5 of 7)
importing photos (step 6 of 7)
waiting for changes to be applied (step 7 of 7)
syncing apps / copying 1 of 4 (App name) (step 7 of 7)
canceling sync
apple icon
2) Photos: I've selected only certain of my iPhoto albums to sync to my iPhone. All of the albums are correct/complete in iPhoto. All of the albums are listed on my iPhone, both before and after the sync, but the albums are empty (no actual photos) before and after the sync. Perhaps this is tied to the fact that the sync isn’t completing, but because “importing photos” is one of the steps that the incomplete sync displays, I don’t know.
3) Apps: When I launch iTunes and click on the Apps folder under the Library listing, then click on the Updates tab, iTunes searches for any Apps needing to be updated and provides a list. If I click on Update All, the Apps are successfully updated in iTunes. But, when I plug in my iPhone so that the updates will transfer to the apps on my iPhone, the updates don’t transfer to the apps on my iPhone and those apps still reflect that they need updating on the iPhone.
Other Potential Pertinent Info:
The flash memory hard drive on my MacBook Air recently died (perhaps a month or two ago). Apple had emailed me about a known issue and literally the next day, my MacBook Air crashed. I installed a new flash memory drive and re-installed everything from a backup off of an external hard drive. Everything seems to be working fine; it recreated accurately all of my software and data, including iPhoto and iTunes, the pictures and songs (respectively) for which are stored on that hard drive, as opposed to being on the flash memory in the MacBook Air itself. However, I don’t recall if the start of the sync problem described herein started happening at the same time that I replaced the flash memory drive. All I know is that the computer is working perfectly in all respects and that even as the sync is failing, it at least says that it’s doing the right things and looking in the right places (e.g., the list of albums on my iPhone matches the list of albums in iTunes, etc.).
Settings/Status:
MacBook Air
OSX v. 10.9
iPhoto ’11 v. 9.5 (902.7)
iPhone iOS 7.0.4
iTunes v. 11.1.3 (8)

After installing the latest itunes/quicktime update I can no longer acces the itunes store nad my iphone does not complete syncing. What can I do to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled windows updates. I have checked the firewall settings. what else?
The problem is with version 10.4.1. I had to reload 10.3 to get it to work. The recommendation from a previous poster worked for me. Here was their list of steps:
Go to Control Panel>Programs>Uninstall
2. Uninstall the following Apple programs in the following order:
a. iTunes
b. QuickTime
c. Apple Software Update
d. Apple Mobile Devices Support
e. Bonjour
f. Apple Appllcation Support
3. Reboot PC
4. Find, Download and Install iTunes 10.3 (you can find it at FileHippo.com)
If you start iTunes now you will get an error message saying that the current iTunes library was created by a newer version of iTunes. To correct this:
5. Go to your Music>iTunes folder and delete the "iTunes Library.itl" database file
6. Within this iTunes folder find and open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and locate the most recently dated "iTunes Library (date).itl" database file.
7. Copy and Paste this file back into the iTunes folder
8. Rename this "iTunes Library (date).itl" file by removing the date. It should say "iTunes Library.itl"
9. Reboot PC -

When I try to sync my iPod iCal with my MBP (OS 10.7) iCal via iTunes and WiFi I get a message saying "Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" but I am connected to a local network and thus the syncing does not complete because the downloading never completes because I am not connected to the internet.
Why does syncing iCal need Safari Safe Browsing Data? How can I turn this off?See:

"Safari Downloading Safe Browsing Data" is just some data that is synce with the computer. To turn off on the Mac go to System Preferencs>iCloud and turn off Safari -

Data streaming between server and client does not complete
Using an ad-hoc app, data streaming between server
and client does not complete as it supposed to be.
The process runs well in solaris 5.8, however under 5.9
we have found the characters stream buffer length limitation
is around 900 to 950 characters (by default we are using 3072
characters).
Example:
- We are transfering HTML file, which will be displayed
in the App client, with buffer=3072, the HTML only displayed / transfered
as xxxxxxxx characters, but with buffer=900 the HTML is displayed properly,
in this case, the only problem that we have is the file transfer will
eventually longer than usual.
- There is another case, where we have to transfer information (data) as stream
to the client. A long data stream will not appear at all in the client.
Any ideas why the change between 5.8 and 5.9 woudl cause problems?
The current app-driver that we are using is compiled using Solaris 5.6,
if possible we would like to have use of a later version, which is compiled using Solaris 5.9, do you think this will probably solve our problem?
Thanks
