Xorg 7.0 updated successfully but kde (kdm) won't start

i updated to xorg 7.0 following the wiki but, having kdm in my modules listed, kdm/kde won't start now...

That means you need to logout and in again, the paths to startx changed. If you still have trouble running kdm, put exec startkde in ~.xinitrc and note the error messages. I had to do Xorg -configure and make some minor adjustments to the config file it spit back to get kde to work again.

Hi, I requested an unlock from T-mobile UK 1.5M ago, and after a restore I got the message that my iphones carrier setttings were updated successfully, but never get the message that it's unlocked. What am I doing wrong?

Hi everybody, I need help.
I requested an unlock from T-mobile UK 1.5M ago, and after the restore I got the message that my iphones carrier setttings were updated successfully, but never get the message that it's unlocked. And it still doesn't support nay other SIM. What am I doing wrong? How do I get it unlocked?
Thanks in advance for advice

Did you restore the phone as a new device when you did the restore/unlock, or did you restore it from an existing backup? I have found that when unlocking an iPhone on the AT&T network, you don't get the message that the unlock was successful if you don't restore as a new device. The unlock still works, you just don't get the message. Perhaps it is not carrier specific for this behavior.

Just updated Instagram but now it won't open on my iPad

Just updated Instagram but now it won't open on my iPad

First a reset, press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own. If it still doesn't open delete and reinstall app.

I recently downloaded the new version of photoshop, but the application won't start.

I recently downloaded Photoshop CC but the application won't start.

What platform are you on. What is the URL you used to downloade. Did you install what you downloaded. Was what you downloaded Photoshop CC 2014 or the Creatice Cloud Desktop application that is used to download and install cloud applications like Photoshop CC 2014?

Updated success but still showing one update in setting

Hello,
In my iPhone 4s I upgraded to ios 8 successfully but still in my mobile showing there is one update from out side settings but when go and see in the
setting--->general-->software update...> the software is up to date
how to resolve this issue please any one help me on this.

Most likely it is an update for your phone's OS. That is the one on settings.
The 43 ones on the App Store are updates for the installed apps.
What you need to do is to connect the phone on the internet and get the password for the apple id used to download the apps.

When I tried to update to os6 on my iPad2, it says "Your iPad was updated successfully, but when I hit "continue" the bar turns blue, but nothing happens. I powered off and restarted, but nothing changed.

When I tried to update to OS6 on my iPad 2, it got as far as "Your iPad was updated successfully. There are just a few more steps to follow, and then you're done!" The Continue bar at the bottom turns blue momentarily, then back to white. Nothing happens. I powered off and back on, still nothing. When I use the "Home" button, it says "Setup incomplete" but won't continue. Any thoughts?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Updates failed and the laptop won't start up

I started to download the Apple updates today and half way through the laptop just close down. It now won't start up again.
It goes throught the Login window and sticks on the bluw screen with the cursor static in the top left corner.
Can anybody help with a suggestion?

Graham M.,
In order to resolve your problem, please provide additional info.
1) Were you on battery or AC power?
2) Are you using dial-up, DSL, or Cable broadband?
3) Are you connected to the Internet by Ethernet cable, Airpt. Extreme/Expr?
4) What version of Panther .... 10.3.9?
In the meantime, completely shut-down the PowerBook and disconnect the AC power and carefully remove the battery; unplug ALL power sources to any of the above (2) and (3).
Wait about 20 minutes, then reinstall the battery and plug-in the AC line to the PB.
a) Insert your Panther install disc #1
b) Press the power button, while holding down the C key until the Install window appears.
c) From the Apple Menu Bar select Disk Utility and run Repair Disk only. Do NOT Repair Permissions from the disc; it will be outdated.
d) If RED text is displayed, run the Repair Disk a second time even if the repair was completed.
e) After the second run, eject the Install disc and RESTART the PB from the Apple contextual menu.
f) Using Disk Utility (from Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) run Repair Permissions.
If everything looks OK at this point and you have the above peripherals:
reconnect power to any external modem ... wait 5 minutes, reconnect power to the Airport ... wait 5 minutes, reconnect any Ethernet cable.
Assuming your good to go, update to 10.3.9 from the COMBO updater on the Apple Support Downloads web site and run Repair Permissions again.
Consider installing a very good maintenance program like Macaroni.

My iPod had an old software... I needed to update it. Then iTunes told me I needed a newer version of iTunes. I did that. I can't remember if there was a problem.. Idk. Then iTunes wouldn't recognize my touch. Then I made a mistake of restoring it and updating it to a new I pod. I figured I could download everything again.. So no big deal. Then something happened with the iTunes or computer.... And my iPod is like when I first got it. But when I plug it in... iTunes won't recognize it.. Me and my mom are going to apple help. Troubleshooting.. But it is not working!!! Please help

Updated ITunes but now it won't work

Ok I didn't see this posted anywhere. I downloaded the latest update for iTunes (10.2 or something like that) and had quicktime and all that updated. Everything went fine and I restarted my computer like it said to do but not when I try to open iTunes it says
"ITunes cannot run because some of its required fields are missing. Please reinstall iTunes."
Please tell me there is a way I can fix this without having to reinstall iTunes as I assume that means I have to sync all my CDs to iTunes yet again!

Just so you know, you're not alone in this although my message is saying "required files are missing" instead of fields. I also note from other threads that the Airport connection bug is still in this upgrade for the third upgrade since going to iTunes 10.
This is not good enough Apple ! Check your updater software before unleashing it on the general public. One faulty upgrade is an accident, this has now happened on three. Sort it out or get some competent QA people in.
/rant over
(Useful bit) : Just downloaded the latest 64 bit installer and run the "Repair" option, iTunes has let me in with library all intact.

Wrt310n firmware update completed but the router will not start!

I did a firmware update for my wrt310n because it was having to be power cycled twice a day! When I updated it said that it completed but when I tried to reconfigure it it would get stuck at "waiting for router" and when its not configured it did nothing. Help please?

Did you reset the router...after upgrading the firmware...if not then, Press and hold the reset button for 60 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
You can also try the different computer.

Kdm won't start after xorg7 upgrade

I can run startx and things startup okay (except no background color in icewm on desktop), but I can't get kdm to start. My /etc/inittab is configured correctly and hasn't changed.
Any ideas?
Darin

Did you upgrade to KDE 3.5.1 at the same time as upgrading to Xorg 7? Maybe try a different mirror if your present mirror hasn't been updated yet with the new KDE version, that should fix your KDM problem.
A temporary solution could be to make a symlink pointing from /usr/X11R6/bin/X to /usr/bin/X (ln -sf /usr/bin/X /usr/X11R6/bin/X , remember to create the /bin directory in X11R6 if it isn't there)

Simon

[SOLVED]Kdm won't start

I installed kdebase to use KDM as a login manager for Fluxbox, and I added it to my daemons in rc.conf. It worked fine the first time around, in 800x600 resolution, but then I remembered that I hadn't configured Xorg yet. So I did Xorg -configure, put in my section for the touchpad, and renamed it as xorg.conf in /etc/X11. However, now whenever I boot into Arch, when it says "Starting Kde Desktop Manager" (or something similar), it just goes to the console login.
How can I make Kdm start?

Eh, I found out what I did wrong. Apparently it didn't recognize one of the options I added under my keyboard, "XkbLayout" "uk", which I actually took from my Ubuntu xorg.conf. It also didn't recognize any screens, since Xorg -configure didn't quite put a full section on it. So I just used my xorg.conf.hwd instead.
Heh, sorry about this.

G5, updated software and now it won't start up past the grey apple screen

Hello,
I'm in dyer need of help. I just purchased an old G5 from a friend and when I connected it the internet it said there were a few (7 or 8) updates available for the system. There was very minimal memory left on the system but I proceeded with the updates, it said the system was going to restart after the updates. The grey screen appeared with the apple logo and the circular loading graphic but right after that the screen went blank and now each time I try to start the computer up it does the same and shuts down after that screen displays.
Is there anything I can do?

I'm not able to do that without the proper install disc, am I correct?
Correct.
Is it possible for me to use that or am I in the same boat without the proper install disc?
Correct, you need an Install Disc.
Or will it try to install on my iMac?
Disconnect them to be sure.
Sooo, what is this Install Disc you're talking about? The iMac's Gray Disc? That won't work for the G5.
There's still a chance of repairing the HD, Your best bet is DiskWarrior.
