Can a T520i that was configured without an mSATA drive have one added?

I have a T520i (4242 4UU) that was configured without an mSATA drive. Can I add one to it and migrate my Windows (7 Pro 64 bit) partitions to it? (My HD has apparently lost on of the windows partitions so I'll have to do a full installation anyway). Will I have to get drivers first to support the 4 kilo-byte sectors? (my T520i was originally purchased in November 2010 and AFAICD, Lenovo did not add the ability to handle 4kb sectors until December 2010) or will just upgrading the BIOS suffice? Is there any way to upgrade the BIOS from a DVD or USB zip without a hard disk or operating system functioning? If not, will I have to first install a temporary HD, install windows, upgrade the BIOS and THEN migrate windows to the mSATA? Am I correct in assuming that the new SATA III mSATA SSDs with be backwards compatible with a T520i?

Hi
You can perform BIOS upgrade from CD/DVD media:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t520i/downloads/DS018809
Prepare that media on any system with CD/DVD drive attached.
You can install new system on the msata drive from scratch or by entire HDD cloning.
4k sectors trouble isn't actual for modern (upgraded) system and drives.
msata drives with SATA III interface are backward compatible with T520 msata slot.
Note the drive should be in the msata formfactor, not modern m.2.

"This is an Adobe Illustrator file that was save without PDf content."

I have a client that has been working on a file in AI CS, never left his machine, but when he went to open it today he gets a message that says this file "was generated by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur".
And when we click the "Import" button, we then get:
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content. To place or open this file in other applications, it should be re-saved from Adobe Illustrator with the "Create PDF Compatible File" options turned on. This option is in the Illustrator Native Format Options dialog box, which appears when saving an Adobe Illustrator file using the Save As command."
However, even though this was created in AI CS, all other machine and all other versions of AI (even CS3, 3.3, 2, etc..) we get the same exact error message. How it can be newer than CS 3.3 when it was created in CS is strange to begin with.
I assume this is some sort of corruption, but was wondering if there were any cures. It seems our backups have backed up this file in it's current state (corrupt), which is a huge issue at this point.
Thank you very much for any help!

I have sometimes had this trouble since I updated Acrobat.
"This is an Adobe® Illustrator® file that was saved without PDF content ..."
Not sure what's wrong - it seems to happen even though the Illy file is saved with PDF content and everything embedded.
Another thing: When viewing pdfs under Advanced>Print Production>Output Preview I repeatedly get an RGB simulation preview even though I know that the file is CMYK. So I have to choose a CMYK simulation preview and then things look o.k.
Is there any way to stop the RGB preview coming up? I note that Convert Colours messes things up completely, so it's only the preview that's wrong.
Any ideas, Wade?

This is an Adobe Illustrator File that was saved without PDF Content.

Hi everybody,
I'm working in illustrator CS6 and I am trying to save my file as PDF. However I can't seem to do it.
I save the file as an ai. file and click the "Create PDF Compatible File" option. Then when I click >save as >and opt for the PDF version and click save the PDF file comes up with no images and just the .....
This is an Adobe® Illustrator® File that was

This hasn't happened before when saving to PDF previously. If you could offer any help or advice I would much appreciate it.

Rosie,
This is seriously weird: even if you have Create PDF Compatible File unticked you should be able to Save As PDF.
There may be something corrupt, so the list may be worth trying:
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file, and when it is not caused by issues with opening a file from external media, see below. You may have tried/done some of them already; 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible), for CS3 - CC you may find the folder here:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/preference-file-location-illustrator.html
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Can I run 9.2.2 without an OSX drive on board?

I am getting strange results on my Beige Tower running 9.2.2 (G3-366 MHz, 640 Mb ram, 6 Mb Vram, 30 gig Maxtor ATA HFS+, PCI ATI Rage 128, PCI XClaimPRo, PCI USB - not used, AppleTalk 1.1, AppleShare 3.9.2, CarbonLib 1.6, QuickTime 6.0.2).
When I use the Chooser to AppleShare connect to another machine (G4 mirror door) a type 1 error occurs and the finder notifies me to quit running applications and restart. I was getting a type 2 error the same situation but cured that by turning off the RAM disk.
After I restart, the program MyInvoices, operates incorrectly.
Can I run 9.2.2 without an OSX drive on board? I recently moved the hard drive from a G3 beige desktop with another drive running Jaguar. I use this machine for QuarkXpress production work and invoicing.
I was thinking I should wipe the drive and downgrade to 9.1. If I do, what formatting should I use for the hard drive (HFS+)?

The G3 beige now starts and runs without making the breaking glass sound.

My apple id attached to my itunes account has expired
They don't expire. As far as anyone knows Apple IDs live on forever - if you forgot its password use https://iforgot.apple.com. Good luck with the answers to whatever security questions it asks.
... I have created a new apple id but cannot transfer it to my itunes which all my apple products connect up to on my mac with all my pictures etc on!?!
Right! That's the reason you do not create a new Apple ID.
As far as Apple is concerned a new Apple ID is a completely different user, with absolutely, positively no access to anything available to any other Apple ID.
Concentrate your efforts on resetting the password to your old Apple ID. It has not expired, and is the only way to use all your existing iTunes purchases, App Store purchases, computer authorizations... etc. Forget about the new Apple ID you just created.

After a trip to Brazil, the App Store apparently thinks my iPad 2 is still there. When I try to download an app, I get a message that I can't get that app from the Brazilian store and have to switch to the U.S. store. The general settings are correct.

Open the App Store app, go to the Featured pane, swipe to the bottom, tap your Apple ID and sign out. Tap again and sign back in. The App Store will automatically change to the store from which your account is authorized to make purchases.

Please do not share your serial number on public forums.
Also confirm you are using correct serial number, Adobe serial numbers contain 24 digits.
Once you have located the correct serial number, refer below links

Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one?

Can I add an Icloud email address, if I already have one? I would like to have two different email addresses for personal use, on Icloud.

You can add up to three 'email aliases' - these are additional addresses (not accounts) which deliver into the same inbox as the main account. (In fact it's a good idea to give out alias addresses, rather than the main address, because if they attract spam you can easily change them.)
You should be aware before you start that once you've created an alias you cannot turn that address into a full iCloud account or move it to another account.
More information on aliases here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a490a

Retrieve data from a Hard Disk That was connected to the optical Drive of Mac Book pro

Hi Experts
I have been using a Mac Book pro from 2011 (Early 2011 Model), In the mid of 2012 I have planned to upgrade, and bought a 240 GB SSD and 16 GB ram from OWC, Installed successfully and bought another 750 GB WD Sata Disk and connected it to the Optical Drive Bay of the Laptop, using the optical drive as an external device now
I was using the SSD as the main disk for all the applications and OS itself, and tranferred all the user library (iTunes Library, iPhoto Library, Documents etc..) to the additinal 750 SATA Disk,
Last week the Mag Safe cable has been worn out and seperated completely from the adapter, I tried soldering the cable again and it was working for two days, third day The machine stopped charging and it was working until the battery run out of charge,
Now I have bought a new Mag Safe Charger for 108 Singapore Dollars and it wont charge, read in iFixit Forums to change the Mag Safe DC in Board, so found a new part in singapore and replaced DC in Board myself, after doing this when I connected the new mag safe adapter, it fired the cpu fan for two second, I was able to see the green light the adapter and it stopped again and the green light wont lit up now
Removed the logic board from Laptop completely and tried connecting the Mag Safe Adapter I can see the green light,
So with all the above details, Iam confused whether its the Logic Board or the Battery that is giving me issue, I can find out the problem by contacting a Authorised service centre, but Iam thinking whether its is worth to repair it or buy a New Mac Book Pro ?, Because if I need to change the logic Board need to spend 900 Dollars + 100 dollar service charge
So I was trying to remove the 750 GB WD Sata Disk to see if I can get the data back so I can buy a new Laptop without worrying,
The real issue now is when I connect the 750 WD Disk using a sata to usb converter cable to my official macbook, it says the connected USB device is drawing more power than expected and it wont even detect the hard disk, Iam wondering why it cannot detect the hard disk even in the disk utility, is there any way to get the data back from the 750 GB WD Sata disk (which was connected to the Optical Drive Bay)
Your expert advice is much appreciated
Regards
Vinodh

Welcome to the discussions!
It sounds as if your disk was not correctly formatted to work with the Mac operating system. I suspect it was formatted in FAT32, which is primarily a Windows format. This type of format will not allow the disk to accept any files larger than 4GB. That's probably why you are seeing the crashes.
Connect the drive to your Mac and open Applications > Utilities > Airport Utility.
Click your disk on the left and click the erase tab on the right. You need to format the drive in +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+. Formatting will erase everything on the disk.
Then you could try the drive again attached to your AirPort Extreme to see if that will do what you want.

Can a T520i that was configured without an mSATA drive have one added?
