What happened with Vi(m)?

Today i made a 'pacman -Syu', cause the last time i did this was 3 month before.
So it also updates Vim... i could not manage to edit to edit a file yet.
There's simply no 'insert mode' when pressing 'i' anymore and navigating with arrowcursors ends up with "AADDAAA" in my textfile. Everything is messed up, iam completely incapable to work with that!
Every try to edit a file ends with "q!", so what the hell happened? I want to have my old vim behaviour
I also noticed that Distros like Ubuntu and Debian in newer Versions also change to this vim-shitty thing, propably this is a new ultimate feature of vim, but iam too stupid to come clear with that.
Please help ^^

Hello,
if it was vim that you were using... same thing here. Aftery y -Syu, vim got pretty wrecked... Syntax highlighting was gone, mouse didn't work and a few other issues.
Various threads can be found here:
What happened to vi?
vim reasonable defaults for all users.
Vi broken after update
Two of them refer to:
http://www.archlinux.org/news/464/
and

I serached the forums looking for soulution (well, I was pretty much sure what happened), which I found here:
After the vim upgrade I lost syntax color highlighting (7.2.245-1)
I noticed myself, some config files for vim were changed. Default /etc/vimrc sourced archlinux.vim, which is out of reach - vim's runtime dir is /usr/share/vim/vim72 and the archlinux.vim file is in /usr/share/vim/vimfiles. Maybe I'm missing something, but I reverted /etc/vimrc to old one from thread above and vim is like it used to be (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 82#p619382).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately, iCloud does not offer equivalents to Mobile Me’s iDisk, Gallery or Web Hosting services. You will need to find a third party solution to replace these services. You might consider DropBox, SugarSync, MediaFire or any other service that offers online storage. (not all these alternatives offer all the services previously provided by iDisk)

  • Cloning Hdd to SSD boot drive and what happens with Music/Logic Plugins

    Hi, my computer is a mid-2012 Mac Pro 12 Core
    It's a great computer but I'm considering upgrading my main boot drive (WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD) to a 1tB Samsung EVO 840 SSD drive (I'm using a sonnet tempo PCI card to mount an SSD that holds audio at the moment and will add another SSD for the boot drive I'm referring to) so I just had a question - if I clone the HDD to the new SSD, what happens with things like licenses for my audio plugins, such as Native Instruments Komplete, programs by IKMultemedia. programs that use an ILOK such as Steven Slate Plugins and also, WAVES plugins?  Will this info all carry across to the new SSD drive or do you think I'll need to reauthorise some things?  I have all the serials etc so this shouldn't be an issue, but just wondered.
    Any help would be appreciated as it feels like quite a big step in that it's my main system drive!
    Thanks in advance
    Sam

    CCC is excellent. If it doesn't work then sure, just always have a safety net of your system that is untouched.
    Also, after a clean install, CLONE it!
    And then use Setup Assistant. Migration Assistant.
    Clone of the system can go on sparse disk images too so you don't have to partition (should have at least one though) and you can have clone from different stages and versions: 10.9.4, without Setup Assistant, migrated, full loaded with all your apps. Multiple versions.
    CCC is designed to make a working bootable copy of a system so you can move the system to another boot device like hdd and SSDs without the worry.
    But I think we were talking about a system that did not see a clean install of Mountain Lion or Mavericks so it is over due for one!

  • What happens with bootcamp after ios update

    Hello,
    I am about to update from ios 10.7 to 10.8 (Mountain Lion). What happens with my (data on) bootcamp? Do I need to reinstall it?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Marcel Rombeek

    iOS and Mac OS X are completely separate things, so I'm a bit confused. But assuming you're referring solely to updating Mac OS X, upgrading to Mountain Lion should not affect your Bootcamp partition in any way, though with Mountain Lion not yet released, we can't say with absolute certainty.
    Regards.

    Restore your library from an up to date backup.
    If you don't have a backup (which you really should), see turingtest2's user tip on Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash for steps necessary to restore your library within iTunes - this assumes that your media is all present on your computer, as it always should be.
    Otherwise, see tt2's notes on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,

    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.

    A good replacement is the freeware suite, Libre Office, which is similar in functionality to Office 2007 for Windows but without Outlook.
