Why is there an 11-year-old "How to contribute translations" sticky?

I was wondering why How to contribute translations is a sticky thread, when its first post is shamefully out of date, and the rest doesn't seem very helpful either. New users may think that we are quite unorganized regarding translations, while for example the wiki has various ArchWiki Translation Team pages which aim to make translators' work easier and more efficient, and they are not mentioned at all there.
Yes, I could add a new post there with that link, but that would be extreme necro-bumping, so I vote for un-stickying the thread altogether instead.

Wow... my own sticky thread... for the next ten years... *_*;
Coming back down to earth, as far as the wiki is concerned there's already a "sticky" link to ArchWiki:Contributing in the left column of every page, with all the info also for translators, that'll do for us, no need to have another guide to keep up to date here, and I don't think other guides for translating different Arch projects would fit the "Forum & Wiki discussion" section either ^^

why is there an error 9006 and how can i fix it?? please answer and btw its an ipad mini

if you are trying to download and install ios7, it is probably because of the enormous amount of traffic apple's download servers must be experiencing. things should return to normal before too long, just hang tight

1. You need to upgrade the computer's OS.
2. Snow Leopard is 10.6 through 10.6.8. Lion is 10.7 through 10.7.5. Mountain Lion is 10.8 through 10.8.3 and future unreleased 10.8 updates.

I have the iPad with retina display and the screen is cracked, however it is not yet a year old, how much does it cost to replace it

I have the iPad with retina display and the screen is cracked, however it is not yet a year old, how much does it cost to replace it?

I don't know what country that you are in, but in the US the price for repair (i.e. replacement) is (from here) $299 for the iPad 3, and here in the UK (from here) £256.44

HT4356 I have cannon mx870 it's not listed as an available printer for air print. Why it's only three years old and it has wi fi

I have cannon mx870 it's not listed as an available printer for air print. Why it's only three years old and it has wi fi.

Probably because it pre-dates Airprint technology. The fact that it has wifi doesn't change anything if it isn't an Airprint-supported printer

Apple ID for my 9 year old - How can I set up an ID for my 9 years old. We have bought him an ITouch for his birthday, he also has a $30 iTunes card. To load up the iTunes card he needs an ID. When I try to set him up it says he is below the min age.

How can I set up anApple ID for my 9 years old. Every time I try it tells me he is bolew the min age. If this is the case how can he download free games and how can he redeem his birthday $30 iTunes card? I dont want him to use my ID as it has my credit card details.
I'm very fustrated with this as it seems the Apple kit is for 13 years and older only.
Cheers

That's great your 9-yr-old is responsible enough to handle an iTouch!
There's no way around the age limit. I suggest a family account that you, an adult, control.

Are there any apps for the macbook pro that will teach a 4 year old how to use a mac?

I want to gove my old macbook to my daughter and get her started. does anyone know if there is an app that will walk a child through thir first mac experience and teach them how to operate it?

This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

Why do months and even years old episodes of podcasts get downloaded when a feed is refreshed?

I'm wondering why tonight it seems that several dozen episodes from months and years of a show's whose feed was refreshed and updated this morning, are being automatically downloaded? And there is no rhyme or reason as there are gaps in the feed in between the last show, and the shows being downloaded.
Why is this happening, as it is pretty much rendering the program useless as it uses up too much CPU space and it is listed as "Not Responding" in the task manager.

Ya I have noticed old podcasts showing up in my listing from time to time. Simple way to sort of stop it is go into your preferences for Podcasts. Change to only download the latest of the new Podcasts rather than all. Then next time your iTunes finds a whole bunch of "new" podcasts, they will all show up in your list as greyed out (not yet downloaded) listings and only the most recent one will download, which is probably the one you want anyway.
The previous ones can either be ignored or you can select the greyed out link and delete them, although they might reappear.

How to contribute translations

G'morning!
If you feel up to translating the official documentation of Arch Linux into a yet uncovered language, I'd love to hear from you and help if there are any questions. To simply get started without further babble, you should head over to http://archlinux.veloxis.de/official/ and grab the latest and greatest LaTeX source package from there on which you can and should base your translation on. It's quite easy to handle, even if you never used TeX or LaTeX before, and the scripts you need to generate HTML and ASCII from the sources are included as courtesy copies.
Don't wait, start working on your translation today and make sure you post what you're working on so others don't reinvent the wheel at the same time.
Thanks,
Dennis

Wonderful! That's quite a bit of languages already!
As Mork pointed out, there needs to be some sort of central changelog to make sure every translator is kept up to date. As all this organisational stuff is still in the works, I cannot yet tell you how it's gonna work out, but orelien suggested putting the docs into the CVS, which sounds like a very good idea to me. Combined with a mailing list, this is probably optimal. Until something specific is worked out, though, I'd say don't care too much about getting the latest version of the docs right now. I'll make sure that the "Changes" section in the documentation itself reflects all changes I made, so you can easily catch up when you find the time to update your translations. Additionally, I won't update the docs more often than, say, once a week unless something is so utterly, critically wrong that it needs to be fixed right away, which should offer plenty of time to integrate the changes into the translations and maybe even allow for a sort of fixed update schedule. We'll see how that works out and adapt when it sucks.
So, right now you might want to simply send me an email ([email protected]) if you want to be notified of any changes to the documentation, and I'll take care that you will stay right up to date. That should do until we've got something better.
Thanks,
Dennis

I cannot find my receipt for my ipod how can i prove it isnt a year old

I cannot find my receipt for my ipod and its under a year old how can i prove this

Hi cantfindanything,
I am gathering you are trying to get an iPod repaired by Apple.
In the US for iPod Touch Generation 5:
Every iPod comes with a one-year limited warranty and 90 days of complimentary telephone technical support.
If you are trying to get a replacement or repair job, Apple will just need your Serial Number, found on either the back of your iPod Touch or in: Settings, General, About, Serial Number.
When Apple receives this number, their database will be able to show up your information including device purchase and activation.
To get a repair job/replacement, it is best to talk to Apple on the phone or go to your nearest Apple store to find out possible resolutions.
To contact Apple call:
1-800-MY-APPLE
You can also take the iPod into your closest Apple Store and give them your serial number and they will be able to help you: http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/
Many Thanks for your question and Happy New Year!

When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. WHy is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.

HT1688 I just noticed my calendars over a year old are erased! They used to be there. What happened? How can I get them back?

I just noticed all my calendars over a year old have been erased. They used to be there. How do I get them back?

Not sure if this will help, but if you are syncing your calendar with iCloud try going to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...scroll down to the Calendars section and tap Sync, then select All Events.

My one year old disabled my iphone 5 so i need to "connect it to itunes" as the screen directs. I know how to do this with my laptop but it says i will be doing a factory reset. is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?

Long story short, my one year old disabled my iphone5 and I need to "connect to itunes" as the screen instructs. I went through the steps and it says that I will be doing a factory reset and I will lose everything. Is there any way to get my phone open without losing everything?? I'm mainly concerned about my pictures and videos.

Once the Device is in Recovery Mode... it is too late to save anything...
To minimise loss... after the successful Recovery... Restore from the most recent Backup...
