Virtualbox no longer works after kernel update solved

and before you say.. read the wiki, use google, check the forums.. I DID..
here's the message i got
The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup: command not found <---i pasted it to prove ive googled, wiki'd, and read the forums.. so what did I miss
I did that command under my user name, sudo, and root.. said command not found.. when of course its found, it worked before 1.i used virtual box just before the kernel upgrade, 2. why isnt this command working under root or any other way?
i just finished setting up windows 7 with the few apps i like. please don't tell me i have to reinstall virtualbox and lose everything..
ive tried rebooting, loggin in and out a few times.. etc
any ideas??? why what the WIKI says does NOT work at all??

when you install virtualbox_bin package, pacman should have told you:
==> Run \`/etc/rc.d/vboxdrv setup\` as root every time your kernel is
==> upgraded, to compile the module for the new kernel version.
And yes, '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup' is likely hardcoded in virtualbox and does not reflect how your distro setup is.
The Arch Way is to put service script to /etc/rc.d/ instead of /etc/init.d
also note that the vboxdrv service script from virtualbox_bin is different from other distros
and that /etc/rc.d/rc.vboxdrv isn't shipped by virtualbox_bin (hence you get command not found)
in additions, vboxdrv from virtualbox_bin has only "setup" function

[SOLVED]Sounds no longer works after kernel update (Audigy 4)

Updated kernel along with other updates. I have an audigy 4 (detected as audigy 2, always been that way).
It's detected if I do lspci, if I go in alsaconf it also detects it and says it should work, but if I then go in alsamixer it just comes up with my USB webcam sound mixer.
What am I doing wrong? I can't get any sound anymore and I don't even know how to start fixing it.
I also checked lsmod and the module was loaded (emu10k1), it should work, but it doesn't.
Any ideas?
Edit: Trying to launch MPD:

Speng, perhaps there are two sound devices on your system?.. What are the contents of /dev/snd/?
Efish, your issue is different, you've got a different card, right? And I don't get what the issue is, exactly. /etc/modprobe.d/*sound.conf?

Virtualbox no longer working after Kernel upgrade to 3.0

When I boot a Windows XP guest Virtualbox warns me: No audio devices could be opened. Selecting the NULL audio backend with the consequence that no sound is audible.
The guest is unable to start Windows, it throws me a blue screen which unfortunately flashes too quickly for me to see it. It doesn't boot in safe mode either.
I have recompiled vboxdrv with rc.d setup vboxdrv command (no errors) and loaded the vboxdrv with modprobe.
My system is upto date with pacman -Syu. My archlinux is 64 bit.

yes I performed the changes needed in menu.lst
I also have another archlinux guest with virtualbox. When I boot it, vbox also informs me about the missing audio devices but it runs ok.
Sound works fine in my host.

Why would you allow firefox to update computer web-browsers if you have an idea that it will no longer work after the update? And why would you not include instructions for, how to fix the problem? Help Please! Can I go back to the old one?

Mozilla, like many other software companies, thoroughly test their software before releasing it to the public and I'm sure that no problem you are having is intentional.
I do not work for Mozilla but I do have experience of releasing software for public usage.
Firefox has no way of knowing what other software is already on your computer and with millions of combinations it isn't always possible to test for every scenario.
You can go back to the old version of Firefox but that won't always solve your problem.

Headphones no longer work after ios8 update to Iphone 5

My plug in head phones no longer work after updating to IOS8. I thought it was the head phones and bought new ones - they don't work either. I updated my iPad and both head phones work. Phone is IPhone 5 - not due for an upgrade until December. Any suggestions?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Bluetooth headset no longer work after latest update

I use a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset for Skype calling and Ventrillo on my Macbook Pro. Since after the latest update, it no longer works. Both input and output doesn't work and the applications hang for about 30 seconds. I've tried re-pairing the device to no avail. Both applications work if I switch them to the built-in microphone.
I also tried doing the same thing with a Plantronics 245 and I get the same issue.
Both headset work with my phone.

FIXED!!!!
Steps to UNF*ing your Mac.
1) Install an app called Pacifist
2) Download the individual installer for the Magic Touch Update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1066 DO NOT INSTALL THIS
3) Load your OSX Install DVD
4) Open the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg in Pacifist
5) Open your OSX Installer DVD in Pacifist
6) Look at the MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package in Pacifist to see exactly what it installed and where.
7) Find these SAME EXACT FILES on the OSX Installer and reinstall them as root (e.g. using your admin password when asked)
8) Repair permissions (Do NOT skip this)
9) Reboot
10) MOST IMPORTANT: Never install the update again!!
Your bluetooth headset will work in skype after this. You will replace EVERY FILE THE MagicTrackpadMultiTouchUpd1.0.dmg package installed with one from the DVD. If you can not find it, the search bar in Pacifist works wonders.
You will get an error if you try to reinstall admin.framework about not having permission to install. This will be the ONLY file you will not reinstall.
Yes, you have more or less, in a very complicated fashion uninstalled the update (software update shows the Magic Touch update as needed afterwards).
Find me on Skype, where I will be able to walk you through it from my Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset at james.t.bolin
In case you developers want to know, I'll give you my play by play. After the installation of the update, it borked the bluetooth causing Skype to freeze. Reinstalling all the original kexts from the installer disk fixed the skype freezing issue, but there was still no audio. In fact, after reinstalling everything in the System>Library folder still left me with no audio, but it would not freeze or cause kernel panics at this point.
This is where I got the magic. I started replacing stuff in the usr directory. Upon replacing the usr>libexec>cups>backend>bluetooth; usr>libexec>hidd; usr>sbin>blued; and the blue.8 and hidd.8 files, I got audio back and the stars aligned in perfect harmony. I suspect apple needs to retool the kexts and rewrite the root level profiles.

Airport no longer working after latest updates

After my latest software updates, the Airport on my 13" Macbook is no longer working.
I can connect to networks and can get full signal from the wireless router in my home, yet none of my browsers can actually connect to the internet.
I've tried multiple wireless connections and none function properly. Suggestions?
I'm currently connected directly to my NETGEAR router via ethernet

Experiencing similar issue.
Wired works forever without any issue. Wireless (airport) works for a while (random 2-60 minutes, could be related to data volume) then gets stuck. At that point getting back to wire (without reseting the airport AP) solves it. Also, cycling the airport client (disable/enable) gets it to work for a few minutes... until it gets stuck again. Other devices (iPhone, iPod touch) connected to the same airport AP do get access while the macbook is stuck.
Thought this could be 11n related since the macbook is the only device running 11n. However, while wireless http/web access is stuck on the macbook one can still perform ftp connections (bit no file transfer as such), pings and/or access the time machine configuration (some of this seems to be randomly working) from that macbook. Not sure whether 11n handles short bursts and large bursts differently?
Finally, the behaviour is the same whether using Safari or Firefox and relaunching eitehr app does not solve it.
Clueless for now.

IPhone remote app no longer working after iPhone update to version 4.2.1

I have 4 apple TV generation 3 devices. I have had these (and some older Apple TV 2 devices) for a number of years.
I have home sharing enabled on all the TV devices and use the iPhone remote app or the iPad remote app to control them.
After the update to version 4.2.1 my iPhone (and my wifes) can no longer see any of the apple TV devices and I get the message
"Turn on Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer or on Apple TV using the account $my account"
Home sharing is turned on on the iPhone devices (I have disabled it and re-enabled it and re-signed in to prove this as well as re-downloading the remote app direct from the app store)
Home sharing is enabled on all the Apple TV devices
I know this is working as the iPads can still see the Apple TV devices, but the iPhone 5s's both myself and my wife have cannot see them.
This has worked fine for years but after the 4.2.1 update the iPhone is unable to interact at all as if home sharing is not enabled.
I've one through the trouble shooting guides on the support pages but they don't do anything, and I didn't expect them to as I know home sharing is setup just fine as a.) it was working b.) the iPads are still working with the apple TV's
Suggestions ?

Update:
Issue is still occuring, after resetting wireless router.
Router: Netgear WNDR3400, SSID's turned off, WMM is enabled.

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Standard PCI to PCI bridge no longer working after BIOS update

Hey everyone,
Before I get into the details of what is probably the most frustrating computer problem I have ever faced I would first like to say hello because this is my first post and I give you my system specs.
Windows 7 ultimate x64
GA-M61PME-S2P (rev 1.0) MOBO
2x 120GB Mushkin SSD @3.5gbps Raid 0
AMD Phenom II x4 @2.2 GHZ (Old processor that I replaced)
AMD Phenom II 1090T x6 @ 3.2GHZ (New processor that replaced the Phenom x4)
MSI Cyclone GTX 550 TI OC (Nvidia)
8 Gigs 800mhz DDR2 RAM (Computer Bay)
I have had a GA-M61PME-S2P (rev 1.0) board for several years now and have never had any problems. I recently bought a brand new AMD phenom II x6 1090T processor because it was listed as being supported by my board. The BIOS version that I had installed before purchasing this processor (version F5) was unable to recognize my new processor and boot so I had to update to the latest version (version F7b). After flashing my BIOS with the new version I was able to boot and my computer recognized my processor with the correct name and clock speeds. Unfortunately it now no longer recognizes one of my standard PCI to PCI bridges. Of the two standard PCI to PCI bridges listed in device manager one of them has a yellow exclamation point and reads "error code 35 firmware does not contain enough info to configure this device". I have tried everything I can think of but just cant seem to get my processor and graphics card to work under the same BIOS version. I will now list every step I have taken;
1.) I have re-flashed several times between versions F5 and F7b but always get the same results
2.) I have used Driver cleaner in safe mode to wipe all drivers and then double checked programs and features to make sure nothing was still installed.
3.) I have installed all drivers for the board from Gigabytes website, although when I try to install the VGA driver i get an error saying that no device could be found that supports the driver.
4.) I once again wiped everything in safe mode and then found the latest chipset drivers for nvidia Nforce from NVidia's site but got the same results.
5.) I tried downloading the F7b BIOS from some random website just in case the file from Gigabyte was somehow broken but this did not change anything. (I know that's generally a bad idea but I am desperate)
6.) I uninstalled the problem standard PCI to PCI bridge in device manager and restarted my computer but got the same results.
7.) I tried installing my graphics card drivers from MSI but got an error saying that no supported hardware could be found.
8.) I tried installing a number of different versions of the Nvidia graphics card drivers for my series but kept getting that same error message
9.) I downloaded the Graphics card detector program that NVidia provides on their site but it told me that it could not detect my graphics card.
10.) I tried Flashing my BIOS to the F6 version for the rev 1.3 board but this turned out to be a huge mistake because my computer would no longer post after this and I had to use a FAT32 flash drive and the q-flash utility to bring it back to life.
11.) I checked over and over and over again that my BIOS settings were right and nothing was setup to only use on-board graphics.
12.) I tried downloading a driver that was supposedly for the PCI to PCI bridge but im fairly sure this was just a trojan because the install did not complete and I found tons of fun plugins installed afterwards (I reformatted shortly after this).
13.) I made sure that my new processor was plugged in and that my BIOS was version F7b and then completely wiped my hard drive and re-installed windows 7 ultimate x64 but got the same results.
14.) I made a bootable DOS flash drive and tried updating my Graphics card BIOS but found that I already have the latest version.
What I don't understand is that my graphics card works perfectly with BIOS version F5 and my processor works perfectly with BIOS version F7b but under no circumstance do they both work at the same time. It may be worth noting that with version F7b installed I am still able to use my graphics card ( my Monitor is plugged into it via DVI) It just gives me the error under device manager and I can not install any drivers.
If anyone out there can help me I will be insanely grateful and will refer to you from then on as the master of all things MSI. I'm at my wits end, If you need any further info just ask and I will provide.

Ah ok I was afraid you were going to say that. I will take this to gigabyte then but just so I know, This PCI to PCI bridge problem couldn't have anything to do with my MSI graphics card BIOS somehow not being compatible with the Gigabyte BIOS?
-Thank you!

Mouse gesturing no longer works after recent update ?

Recently, after an update my magic mouse no longer functions using the swipe gestures...Anyone else with this issue?
tried to look at in in preferences bt no options there.

Helpful link from 95bulls. Here is the Apple link which deals with the more general problems one can have with an unresponding Mouse. Is the green power light working or blinking?
