Virtualbox modules compilation from virtualbox-source no longer works
Since virtualbox-source dropped /usr/bin/vboxbuild and started depending on dkms, I can no longer compile VirtualBox modules for my kernel.
I use:
thar@myhost ~> uname -a
Linux myhost 3.4.6-1-ck #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 22 09:37:50 EDT 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
virtualbox, virtualbox-source and dkms in newest versions. Module compilation and instalation with dkms is seemingly fine:
thar@myhost ~> sudo dkms install vboxhost/4.1.18
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...

But then:

I have seen similar topic on Chakra support forums. The advice was not to use dkms. Because in Arch virtualbox-source package has a dependency on it, it is not applicable (and anyways, virtualbox-source doesn't have vboxbuild anymore).
None of the previous mentioned methods worked for me:
I'm still using the stock kernel 3.3.4 because of the high load problems since 3.3.5.
$ uname -a
Linux zeus 3.3.4-2-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 2 18:28:42 CEST 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux
linux-headers are installed:
$ yaourt -Qs linux-headers

vboxbuild doesn't work...
$ sudo /usr/lib/vboxbuild

dkms also...
$ sudo rc.d start dkms

BUT:
/usr/lib/modules/3.3.4-2-ARCH/build exists and contains a symlink to the correct headers under /usr/src/linux-3.3.4-2-ARCH:
ls -l /lib/modules/3.3.4-2-ARCH/build
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Mai 2 18:39 /lib/modules/3.3.4-2-ARCH/build -> ../../../usr/src/linux-3.3.4-2-ARCH
What can I still do to get virtualbox working?
Thanks!

Hi,
I am having trouble with iTunes on my Win PC and would like some help. It clearly appears to be a software or configuration issue. Essentially all my older music videos and TV shows all purchase from the iTunes store (anything older than 2012) simply will not play with iTunes (but will play with all other Win apps). Here are the details:
1) Running new PC with Win 7 ultimate
2) All media files in one location (iTunes folder) all new tunes and videos are stored there
3) I am running iTunes v10
4) Newly purchased music videos work - older ones (from 2011-2006) no longer play. Same with newly purchased TV shows but not older ones.
5) When file is selected in iTunes it simply does not play them (no crash, no sound, nothing) - itunes is still active and you can select other music, etc.
6) Videos play in Win player and any other windows app applied to them (sourced directly from iTunes to Explorer)
7) Problem did not exist in much earlier version of iTunes (or I would not have purchased them, duh)
8) Problem existed in last few versions of iTunes
9) Problem existing on last PC as well as this new one
9) ALL videos STILL work fine on my ipad and ipods - nothing wrong with those files themselves
10) I have searched online and tried: control panel selections with Quicktime (3D video setting), uninstalling itunes several times, uninstalling quicktime, etc.
11) All tests pass with iTunes diagnostic
Please help if you can! Thanks.
best, AHC99By the way... ALL music files back to 2004 still play fine on iTunes on the PC...

ICal sync from iPhone 3G no longer works with both MacBooks?
Hi Group:
I've got an iPhone 3G, a previous gen MBP and a white MB, all running the latest software updates. For the past several months I have been able to enter iCal events on my MBP, sync to the iPhone using iTunes, and then sync the iPhone to the MB. For some reason I can't guess, that no longer works, and iCal events are not being transferred from the iPhone to my MB iCal app. Did this happen with the iPhone 3.0 software update (the timing seems about right)? I called Apple Care last night and they said only a .Me account would return that functionality, but denied this had anything to do with the iPhone 3.0 update. In fact, the rep said it never should have worked in the first place.
FWIW, here's the error messasge iTunes generates:
"iTunes could not sync calendar events to the iPhone because an error occurred while sending data from the iPhone."
That's the exact wording, and it doesn't really make perfect sense, either. So, is there a workaround for this, or a third-party app, perhaps? Did Apple make this change just to sell more .Me accounts? Finally, is there maybe an automated way to sync the iCal events between the MBP and MB across my Time Capsule network? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Dean****, that was a brilliant solution. To be clear, what was happening is that I could no longer sync calendars from the iPhone to the MB, but never lost that ability on the MBP. I would not have guessed your solution, as I've never even opened the iSync app, and had no idea it was in any way involved. Thanks, and I wonder if there's some way Apple could add this solution to their database for the Apple Care reps?

I have been using this for as long as the feature has been available along with App tabs. All of a sudden it no longer works. I have tried resetting the option to something else and then back again. I've also tried reloading and reinstalling Firefox. Neither of these worked. I can't see any other anomalies. It seems to be working fine otherwise. I use Windows 7.
Hello Carla5, '''UNCHECK the "Warn me when closing multiple tabs"''', go from Firefox button > Options to access the options window > Tabs panel > Uncheck '''Warn me when closing multiple tabs''' [ ] , click OK to save it, exit firefox and restart it.

Since the upgrade to iOS 6 some of my music playlists from iOS 5 do not work, eg recently added, recently played, probably because they are not available on iOS6. Should I delete them.
I should mention that I have the same issue with my Iphone 4s, now using iOS6.

Saving a photo to iPhoto from Apple Mail no longer works in iPhoto 9.4.2?
With the update of iPhoto to 9.4.2, I can no longer Save photos directly to iPhoto from Mail.
That problem arises with the 10.8.2 OS update.
It's a known issue and needs an update to the OS to repair. In the meantime, drag the images to the iPhoto icon on the Dock. -
Import from digital camera no longer works
iPhoto 6.0.6
I suddenly can't import photos from my Casio digital camera.
It worked fine two months ago, with the same computer and the same camera.
When I connect the camera to the computer, and turn the camera on, the camera appears on the Desktop, and iPhoto launches.
At this point iPhoto used to display an "Import" button.
But not anymore.
Now iPhoto just displays the photo library with the already imported photos.
No "Import" button.
To force the import I tried Shift-Command-I.
(I have never tried Shift-Command-I before, but I suppose it was worth a try)
Shift-Command-I gave me a directory dialog box.
In the directory dialog box I navigated to the camera, found the camera's subfolder with photos, and clicked "Import" in the directory dialog box.
iPhoto began to prepare for import, but crashed after five seconds.
Clicking on "Stop Import" had no effect, and I had to force quit.
I tried all the above several times, and got the same result every time.
Any ideas?

iMac, 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.10)Try:
1- log into another account and try importing into a test library there (do no have iPhoto delete the files!).
2 - boot into Safe Mode and try in your primary account.
It you can't import in #3 and can in #2, a reinstall of iPhoto would seem to be mandated.If you do try a reinstall of iPhoto you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
If you can't import in either #2 or 3, then a reapplication of the 10.4.10
COMBOupdater is suggested. Followed by a repair of disk permissions, of course.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
After installing Yosemite, I cannot download images from Canon S40 using iPhoto or Image Capture. The camera is recognized by both programs, but downloading never happens. I have formatted the SD and also reset the camera download using the camera menu. I can download to an older computer running OS 10.7.4. I have also reinstalled Yosemite to no avail. Is this a known problem? What can be done about it?

Frequently Asked Questions About Apple ID -
Hi there. Here is my question/concern.
I just migrated to iCloud from MobileMe (with the same Apple ID/email I have had since it was the free iTools.com years ago). Aside from the general up and down connectivity most people are experiencing (I am sure there is a heavy load - I know it will pass in a few days) I have encountered an unexpected side effect.
(Maybe I should have expected it, however)
My wife uses a 2nd generation iPod touch, which is still on 4.2.1 (as high as it will ever get). We got an alert on it about not being able to access our account on MobileMe (as it is now part of iCloud).
Is there any way to set it up manually to get at least the email ability back?I've had this happen in the past due to a corrupted email or enclosure. You might want to try to log into your account from your desktop and delete mail from the server from the last few days, store locally on your desktop, and see if that clears it up though I get the impression you're talking about two different accounts so it's unlikely you would get the same email both places but that's usually been the issue for me.

"Command-i" which was so useful for selectively deleting messages from servers has disappeared in Maverick. I wonder if it has been replaced by something else or should I look into other mail applications.
Hmmm. Which Mail program are you referring to?
in Mac Mail command -i used to bring up the Account info pane on the server (10.8.5)
Now it seems you have to use the gear at the bottom in "Mail Activity" to get the drop down (10.9) : -
Event Creation from Mail is no longer working
Hello, today I have been trying to create new ical events directly from Mail. This used to work fine and was very useful.
Now I get the popup and fill in all the event details but it won't save. I can Cancel but hitting the create/save button does nothing.
The only change I can think of is my recent downloading of the Google Dav syncing tool. Are there known bugs associated with that and creating events from the mail client?
ThanksYou can set up a Mail Rule (in Preferences) that moves specified addresses to Junk or Trash

"Create links from URLs" preference no longer working in sticky notes
I work with reading other people's sticky notes in Adobe Acrobat X Pro (now version 10.1.1). When they wrote URLs in the sticky notes it used to recognize them as links; now they're just plain text. My Preferences > General > "Create links from URLs" option is checked ON. I aso tried View > Tools > Document Processing > "create Links from URLs" and it added two links but only outside of the sticky notes. I am on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. Thanks.
AFAIK, URLs inside annotations were never converted into actual links. I'm not even sure it's technically possible to do so.
It might have happened if the annotations were flattened and the text in them became a part of the static text of the PDF. Then the URLs in it could have been converted into "live" links, but not before. -
Synch new contacts from Address Book no longer works.
My iphone will no longer synch new contacts in my Address Book on my Mac. It was working fine and then I loaded too much audio content and ran out of memory so I think it could not synch properly without memory available. I've since deleted all my audio and have plenty of space yet new contacts in Address Book do not show up on my iPhone even though the synch process appears to complete. Any ideas?
I hope you are doing this over wifi, if you are not then you may have exceeded your monthly data limit, but I doubt that's the problem. All I can say is that Address Book will be getting refurbished soon, and according to Apple, it will be far more simple to transfer data between iOS and Macs.

Can pictures be recovered from iPhone that no longer works?
My iPhone is no longer in working condition due to the fact that the ocean waves took the life of my phone. I had alot of pictures and videos on there that were precious to me. Can those pictures and videos be rovered?
Plug the device into your computer, preferably a PC. Go to your start menu > my computer ( or Computer for windows 7 / Vista) Look for removable device or iPhone. Double click the iPhone and open the two or three folders and there are your photos. Simply drag them to your desktop or wherever.
