Using rsync to keep a local mirror - way to not download 64?

I keep a local mirror since i keep multiple computers synced and want to save bandwidth.
But now I have an x86_64 mirror for which I have no use. Is there some way to *not* download those files?

It is very simple! I use:
rsync -rptvz --delete rsync.archlinux.org::current/os/i686 /mnt/storage1/mirror/current/os/
Note that I use -rptvz instead of -avz. IMHO this is better.
But why do you mirror whole repos when there is an easier way.
I'm going to write howto on wiki. I don't like this way - it wastes bandwidth, time and money.

Bluegrassbarry you can download and install Illustrator CS6 from Download CS6 products. Do you currently have a Creative Cloud Membership?

[SOLVED] vsftpd on Local Mirror, running but not working

I'm building a Local Mirror on a vm (vbox) with bridged adapter and fix-ip by following this wiki.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Loc … cal_mirror
After the painful rsync and those setup, I tried pacman -Syu from another Arch vm (no firewall). I received the following error.
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db.tar.gz' from 192.168.100.100 : Service not available, closing control connection
I've tried by nmap on the hosting PC and find that the vsftpd should be running.
Starting Nmap 4.62 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2010-08-27 01:03 HKT
Interesting ports on 192.168.100.100:
Not shown: 1714 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
MAC Address: 08:00:27:76:33:1C (Cadmus Computer Systems)
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.318 seconds
In the wiki, it suggests to use "ftp" to replace "mirror" for ftp_username & nopriv_user. I tried both.
I also find that there is no "archlinux" under my /home/mirror/files as "suggested" by the following statement in vsftpd.conf
# Chroot directory for anonymous user
anon_root=/home/mirror/files/archlinux
I tried both (1) amend the vsftpd.conf to remove the "archlinux", and (2) manually add that directory with owner/group=mirror.
Meanwhile, I only find under /home/mirror/files 6 items - community core extra community.lastsync core.lastsync extra.lastsync. Have I completed the rsync successfully? Or, something is missing. Is the directory structure correct?
Is the sample vsftpd.conf in the Local Mirror wiki updated? I've cross reference it with the vsftpd wiki but I'm not knowledgable enough to find things useful.
What else should I check?
I love ArchLinux so much that I really hope that it can work.
Please help.
Thanks.

I have tried couple of Linux distro to learn Linux/Network. I like ArchLinux's "simple" concept, light weight, updated packages, nice document and fast bootup/shutdown. I have installed over ten times ArchLinux in different virtualmachines and netbook in the past week. I will keep some, delete some and create more. I don't have a fast internet connection and that's why I would like to set up my local mirror. I am a newbie here, so please feel free to let me know if I am taking too much (bandwidth) from the community, and it is not encouraged for my case. And sorry if I have already created any trouble.
Well, back to my problem.
1. After the rsync, including everything, the / now occupies 14G harddisk space. Is it a normal size for a local mirror?
2. I have inserted "Server = file:///home/mirror/files/$repo/os/i686" as the first line in its /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
pacman -Syy looks fine.
pacman -Syu gives a list of warning (xxx: local is newer than core), end with "there is nothing to do"
pacman -S mplayer starts installtion normally, but need mirrors on internet cause a large portion of software is missing/inaccessible on my local mirror.
3. I have tried to login by FileZilla from an Ubuntu vm, and receive this error message (on FileZilla)
Status: Connecting to 192.168.100.100:21...
Status: Connection established, waiting for welcome message...
Response: 421 Service not available.
Error: Could not connect to server
Seems I have issues on both the mirror and the vsftpd. I prefer to resolve the vsftpd problem first, but all suggestion/comment are very welcome.
Lastly, did I post my question in a wrong place? If yes, please let me know.

I updated to iOS 8.2 and now can't use iMessage. Keeps telling me my password is not correct, but continues to do so after changing it.

Updated to iOS 8.2 and now iMessage won't work. I disabled 2-step verification, changed password, but still no go. What gives?

Hello David,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're not able to use iMessage on your iPad. You've tried some good troubleshooting steps, and I'd recommend these additional steps:
Turn off iMessage and FaceTime and restart
Go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessage.
Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off FaceTime.
Restart your device.
Turn iMessage and FaceTime back on.
Still not activated after an hour?
It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
Contact Apple Support.

If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support

TS2662 Adobe flash player will download but if try and use it, it keeps telling the latest version must be downloaded.

I am haveing a frustrating time with my Imac, bought at christmas this year, just this week the mouse has started to freeze while trying to move the pointer, If i lift the mouse off the surface and hold if for a couple of seconds I can then put it back down and pointer can be moved another short distance, the scroll function on the mouse works all the time though, replaced batteries, turned computer off and on a number of times, no luck.
Thanks
Jamie

It's best to focus on one issue at a time ... the Adobe Flash and mouse issues probably are not related.
Flash:
Uninstall Flash, reboot, and install new from Adobe.
Uninstall: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Install: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If that doesn't fix it, download Chrome from https://www.google.com/chrome . Chrome has an integrated version of Flash, which is a good test to see if Flash is the root issue or not.
Mouse: If what you describe is repeatable, take the mouse into an Apple store and see if it's the problem. If it is, it's under warranty, get a new one.

My phone has been restored using iTunes. All of my previous photo are downloaded. I'm unable to delete the photos from the phone - no trash bin. It has utilized all my storage and I'm unable to use any of my apps.

Hello there, Jeanne2919.
There is a great Knowledge Base article that is right up your alley:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
Specifically this section:
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
Import the Camera Roll to your computer, choosing to delete items after import.
or
Delete photos and videos from your device manually. Open the Photos application, open the Camera Roll, tap the Action button, tap each photo to select it, and tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save for later, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Pedro D.

ITune store keeps asking for password and will not download

Updated the iTune to the newest edition, 11.0.3.42. Now, when I try to purchase new videos or music, the itune store will repeatedly ask for password, even though I put the password in correctly, the box will pop up again asking for password as if I have not input the password at all. It will not finish the transaction or download. The only way I can purchanse anything is to sign out of iTune store, sign back it and make the purchase. Anyone else experience this problem?

I downloaded and installed iTunes and it seems to have fixed the problem:

I should note that my problem was on Mac.

My macbook storage keeps getting filled when i have not downloaded anything

In the last two days my macbook storage appears to be getting filled. I have no idea by what because i have noe downloaded anything. How do i fix this?

I have the same problem ever since I bought my new MBP Retina 13", 128GB SSD. Summed up I have 120GB that I can use for storage (I can see that for example in iStat Pro or in the Activity Screen). I don't know if that is normal in the first place, since the SSD is 128GB?
Further, I only installed: iWork '09, MS Office for Mac and Coconut Battery. Nothing else is on my MBP yet. It is 'empty'. Oh yes, my MBP is working on Mountain Lion.
Now when I check the storage free space it is saying 89GB . What happened to the other 39GB ! Oh well, minus the programmes I have installed (6,75GB). Let's say what happened to the 30GB?
Yesterday it was still saying that I had 90GB left for storage use. Today is has already decreased to 89GB. In the mean time I did nothing, except surfing around on this Apple Support Communities and tried to find information with Google search engine. So, Safari was the only programme that was on.
Maybe it has to do with something downloading or 'saving' data automatically? I have no idea.

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

On iTunes 11, how can I access home sharing if the music is from a CD on a different computer using Home Sharing? Is there any way I can download these songs if (A) I no longer have the CD, or (B) I do not want to pay $25 a year for iTunes Match?

Yes, you can copy songs that you ripped from a CD to your Home Sharing computer.
Turn on Home Sharing first on both computers. To do that, go to File > Home Sharing > Turn on Home Sharing. Enter your Apple ID and password.
Now go to your computer that you want to copy the songs to and connect to your Home Share. You can do that by clicking on the popover button located at the left top corner right below the play control buttons. Click on it and scroll to the bottom until you see your Home Share and select it.
Go to Music in your Home Share. Select the songs that you want to copy in your Home Share and click Import at the bottom right corner.

HT201272 Why can I buy movies on the Brazilian Store, but then there is no way to re-download them. I restored my iPad backup from iCloud and all Movies I Payed for are gone. Unbelievable

I needed to restore my iPad contends and settings, and i was using iCloud backup, but there is no way to re-download any movies I already bought on the Brazilian iTunes store, not that I was able to discover.
All instructions where to the American one, that is slightly different. On this f****ng country(Brasil) I can only re-download music. Very sad.
Is there another way to get my content back without having to pay all over again?
If there is no way to re-download it then don't bother to offer the buy option, or put a warning there that if you someway lost your copy that you would have to pay to download it again. I'm really p****ed with this situation.
First the Apple TV doesn't even have the buy option, so i had to buy and download on the iPad and use airplay to watch it on the TV, and now it's simple gone.
This titles are almost the same price than a BD, if I had the patience to go out and buy it on a store I still would be able to watch it.
Can this be solved? ( Re-Download the Movies already bought )

Re-downloading of films is currently only available in the US (due to film studio restrictions), and not all films can be re-downloaded there as not all film studios are allowing it. Have you not got a copy of them on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting Apple, but they are under no obligation to let you re-download them : http://www.apple.com/uk/support/itunes/contact/
