I have been pulling my hair out trying to install Security Update 2015-006 on my MacBook7,1. Tried AppStore 3x, no go. Downloaded standalone Installer and tried this one 5x. Same result every time. Gets all the way through 95+% to the point where it's simply cleaning up and then it just falls with:
The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
In the system log:
Sep 8 18:30:20 MacBookPro71.local Installer[1022]: CoreAnimation: warning, deleted thread with uncommitted CATransaction; set CA_DEBUG_TRANSACTIONS=1 in environment to log backtraces.

Sep 8 18:30:22 MacBookPro71.local com.apple.kextd[12]: /: kextcache has had enough tries; not launching any more

I've already tried deleting the contents of /Library/Updates and /var/folders which has worked in the past but makes no difference this time.
Anybody ?
TIA !

I have a Windows 10 laptop where no TeX distribution was ever installed before (double-checked for config directories, files, and environment variables).
Wanting to install TeX Live 2021, I followed the full installation guide and also read the Windows-specific warnings. I've now tried several times, following different installation procedures - cleaning up everything (deleting base & user directories, environment variables, etc) before each time - but still don't manage to get a working installation. Before I report a bug at tex-live#tug, I wanted to ask for advice here, in case I'm doing something wrong. Here is what I did, step by step, and the problems I encountered in the process.
1. First I tried running the recommended online installer install-tl-windows.exe. It never got past the screen that tries to contact or load from a repository, even after a 30-min wait. Tried a dozen times, choosing different mirrors nearby and far away. No luck.
2. Then I downloaded and unpacked the install-tl.zip and run install-tl-windows.bat therein. This time the main installation window appeared. I left all default paths and environment variables (note that I do have write access to C:); in the selection scheme I unselected all languages except US & UK English, unselected XeTeX, LuaTeX, ConTeXt; also unselected TeXworks (I use Emacs), and clicked Install. After one to three hours (depending on the mirror I chose), the installation was complete.
I tried compiling a minimal latex document (see below), and got an error similar to the one in this old question:
I can't find the format file `pdflatex.fmt'
Following the advice in the answers to that question and similar questions elsewhere online such as this, I tried running texhash and fmtutil-sys --all. The latter gave the error
no appropriate script or programme found fmtutil.
for which there are also many posts online.
2a. Not understanding what the problem could be, I re-tried with all possible combinations of the following three options: (a) choosing different mirrors; (b) leaving the full selection of packages (ie without unselecting some languages, LuaTeX etc); (c) redoing the procedure by choosing "Run as Administrator". No luck.
3. At this point I tried downloading the ISO file with the full installation. Mounted the image and run install-tl-windows.bat (as normal user, as recommended; I repeat that I do have write access to C:). Everything proceeded as in step 2. above. At the end of the installation I tried running pdflatex on the minimal latex document. New error this time:
This is pdfTeX, Version 3.141592653-2.6-1.40.22 (TeX Live 2021/W32TeX) (preloaded format=pdflatex)
restricted \write18 enabled.

! LaTeX Error: File `article.cls' not found.
Very strange. A file search revealed that article.cls is in the TeXLive file system; but kpathsea did not see it indeed.
4. At this point I opened the TeX Live Shell from the Start Menu; selected a CTAN mirror; updated the TL Manager which was not up to date; updated all packages; run Regenerate filename database; and run Regenerate formats. With the latter I got this error:
tex live shell:

I tried to continue anyway with Regenerate fontmaps, and then tried again pdflatex on the minimal document. New error:

5. I tried again steps 3. and 4., but with "Run as Administrator". Same errors.
OK at this point I give up and really don't know what to do. Am I doing something wrong? For the moment I have to concur with this post: installation of TeX Live 2021 is an utter failure.
Here is the minimal latex file I used for testing (copy & paste):
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
test
\section{Section}

\end{document}
Found, that the download is not working because the system path to "cmd.exe" is not found. Therefore: open a cmd window and add the system path prior to starting the .bat file (set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Windows\system32)
I just got started learning Haskell. And I chose to work with it on my PC through stack. First day, I worked with Chris Allen's tutorial and got stuck at the stack build part of it. The command exited with an error as shown below:

After trying out other tutorials I concluded that this happened only when trying to install external packages and dependencies.
Please I need help getting past this challenge I am facing, as I am very much enthusiastic about learning to code in (and coding in) Haskell.
The problem has been resolved. Much thanks to Michael Sloan on the Haskell-stack google group and Yuji Yamamoto on on Google+.
I'll just document what I did here:
I had felt my antivirus software was messing things up (in retrospect, the signs started showing up weeks back) so I updated it.
I did a clean uninstall of stack, hunted down its associated files/folders and wiped them off.
Then I reinstalled stack.
And started again with the tutorial mentioned in the question (No, Stack Overflow, I don't have 10 points to spare, thank you!).
I made sure to be connected to a steady network while doing stack setup for the first time, so that everything got downloaded with ease (the other time, connection timed out endlessly while fetching ghc and msys).
When that was done, I restarted the shell.
... and stack build completed successfully.
Now, I don't know exactly what did it for me, but I would love to. If it helps, I was (and I'm still) using stack-1.5.1 on a 64-bit windows7 PC.
Now I don't have to dump haskell for F#.
I’m having an issue with ftp.SyncLocalDir when I have an open file on the local directory.
I’m using the example from http://www.example-code.com/vbnet/ftp_syncLocalTree.asp with a few minor changes. It has been working fine for a few days and then has stopped working.
I’ve found that one of the files is open on the local directory. Looking through the http://chilkatforum.com/ forum I see that one of the answers stated that
“Chilkat will detect errors that are likely permission/access errors and will continue with the remainder of the download.”
This is not happening for me. Looking at the last error text it states that the file is used by another process. Not other files get synchronized.
Is the something else I need to add to the code to force it to continue after the error?
Below is the last error text.
Thanks,
Steve

Please try this new build for the .NET 4.0 Framework:
32-bit Download: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/download/preRelease/ChilkatDotNet4-9.5.0-win32.zip
64-bit Download: http://www.chilkatsoft.com/download/preRelease/ChilkatDotNet4-9.5.0-x64.zip
The feature for continuing past permission/access issues had to do with issues on the remote server as opposed to the local filesystem. This new build should now also do the same for local permission errors. It will be noted in the release notes for Chilkat version 9.5.0.47 when released (soon).
If you have trouble, please post the LastErrorText using this new build.
I'm working on an iOS project in Xcode 6.1 (which includes an app extension, in case that's relevant). When I try to run the project on Xcode, however, it doesn't actually run the project -- it just says its finished running seconds after "Running [My target]" appears in the Xcode window's toolbar. A (2) in a grey circle appears to the left of the running text before the app "finishes," on successful runs there is usually a (3).
If I delete the app from the device and try to build and run it again, Xcode claims that it finished running without ever installing it in the first place.
In the console of my computer, I can see the following messages:
10/23/14 9:56:33.045 AM Xcode[86586]: AMDeviceSecureInstallApplicationBundle (thread 0x11e05f000): no old package to delta against, falling back to old skool install

No one else working on this project has this issue. Occasionally I see an error message with something like "Can't run, a signed resource is missing or has been altered," but this is pretty rare.
I've tried reinstalling Xcode, this does nothing.
Deleting Derived data fixes the issue, but I have to delete it after every run or the problem reappears. This is pretty inconvenient, so I'm looking for a more permanent fix.
I am using Marmalade to build a PlayBook app, but I think my question applies to PlayBook apps in general. I have successfully created a debugtoken.bar file and have installed it on my device. When I go to try to install a built application.bar file on the device, I get:
[execute] "blackberry-deploy.bat -device 192.168.1.114 -password ******* -installApp -package deployments\default\playbook\release\Quote Unquote.bar"

result::failure 881 required signatures missing (RDK, AUTHOR)
ERROR: error running blackberry-deploy
***ERROR***
Note that this is the Marmalade deploy tool running the standard PlayBook installer.
What I don't understand is: I thought the point of using a debugtoken.bar file was that you could install unsigned apps. I have in fact successfully deployed these unsigned apps using the Marmalade deploy tool just like this. But I was having problems signing the app for distribution, so I went back and did everything from scratch, requested new code signing keys from RIM, made a new debugtoken.bar file and installed it, etc. And now I'm worse off than I was before because I can't even install to the device now.
So again: My understanding is that the point of debugtoken.bar was to be able to deploy to the device before actually signing the application.bar for distribution. So what does this error message even mean?
To answer my own question:
For deploying a "debug" build to a device, it's critical to have
Application-Development-Mode: true
in the MANIFEST.MF within the .bar file.
A stupid mistake, but I'll leave this up in case it helps anyone...
Taking a look to the QNX deployment plugin "C:\Marmalade\6.1\s3e\deploy\plugins\qnx\qnx.py" I found that 'FOR DEVELOPMENT' option is false if the 'playbook_keystore' is given so I just cleared the signing section on the Marmalade System Deployment Tool and it is not longer trying to sign it
