Imaging Lenovo T420s: "There has been a signature failure"

Has anyone successfully cloned an OEM Lenovo laptop drive using ZCM 10.3.4? I can create the image just fine, but after restoring said image to another machine, it will not boot and simply yields the error "There has been a signature failure." I understand that this has something to do with Lenovo's non-standard MBR layout and that you can issue the -IB switch when using Ghost to successfully image these things, but what about ZCM? My repeated attempts to research a fix have proven unsuccessful, but surely someone out there has gotten this working...Right? I'll wipe the drive and install from scratch if I have to, but I'd much prefer to get a modified OEM image working.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion, but we don't have a support maintenance agreement, so I'll likely end up wiping and installing from scratch if I can't get OEM imaging working.

Lenovo G530 There Has Been A Signature Failure

Hi all. I have a Lenovo G530. I followed the manual on how to do an original system restore through BIOS. Now I keep getting 'There Has Been A Signature Failure'. I've read online about the partitions, but i don't know how to access them to get me to the next step.
Any help is appreciated.

Thinkpad X220 There has been a signature failure Crash

Hello,
My thinkpad threw the blue screen of death repeatedly and each time I booted it was very slow. I logged in to safe mode to delete some temporary files. When i rebooted it went to the lenovo recovery mode where it looked like it was not doing anything much. I waited for about 45 minutes and did not see any progress on the progress bar. So, rebooted it and then came the "there has been a signation failure error".
So I tried to boot it with the windows cd to see if I could repair it and it went up to the point of copying files after which it just hung going in a signature failure loop.
Now all i see when i start the system is there has been a signature Failure message.
Has anyone faced this situation before?
How do i restore windows 7? all i can access is the bios mode.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hello and welcome,
I don't have a solution for you but a quick Google of "clone There has been a signature failure" pulls up quite a few hits. One common theme is that the wrong partition is set active. Here are a two of the hits:

What software did you use to clone the drive? Was it a full drive clone? All partitions?

" There has been a signature failure"

Hi everyone,
I am getting this error message in T61, which has XP pro. I tried what ever I found on internet to resolve it, but no solution. I booted with window 98 to get command prompt, and used fdisk/mbr, again no success.
I took out harddisk and connected to other laptop and I can see there are two partition on harddisk, and one of them is recovery partition.
Is there any way I can make bootable XP cd with the data present in recovery partition by attaching this hard disk as external drive to other laptop?
Or is there any way to update the missing files which are giving this error?
Thanks

The SIM card In my iPhone 5 has been giving me occasional messages that there has been a SIM Failure, there is NO SIM, or that there is an INVALID SIM. Until today, I was able to restart it with no problem and the SIM card would start up.

The SIM card In my iPhone 5 has been giving me occasional messages that there has been a SIM Failure, there is NO SIM, or that there is an INVALID SIM. Until today, I was able to restart it with no problem and the SIM card would start up. This afternoon the NO SIM message came up and I cannot fix it. What is my next step? I am traveling in Canada now and it is not convenient to come back to the States just to get a SIM card.
Thanks,
Lou

Hi,
Thanks for getting back to me. How can I initiate Verizon sending me a new SIM card? I will be here long enough to receive it if they can send it to me.
I have been trying to call Verizon Wireless, but they won’t take my call from my Skype account and I don’t have my phone.
Thanks again,
Lou

I use an iMac 10.6.8 with iPhoto '09 to download digital images from Canon DSLRs. Until the last two weeks there has been no trouble whatever importing images by a USB connection from either camera to the Mac. Now the process will not kick in. Any ideas?

I use an Mac OSX 10.6.8 with iPhoto 09 to download digital images from two Canon DSLRs. Until the last week, there has been no problem whatever in launching the import procedure once the USB connection has been connected and the camera switched on. Now the process will not kick in at all for either camera. I can't find a solution through iPhoto help or from other sources.
Any ideas to fix? (I admit I have not tested the USB cable at this time).

What does "kick in" mean?
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

This error is specific to RAS. The default CORBA request timeout is 10 minute = 600000 ms. When the RAS SDK does not get the reponse back from RAS server in 600000 ms it throws this message. Why it works in InfoView\CMC what I believe you refer to as "Front End' application is because InfoView\ CMC don't use RAS.
1. First make sure that a smaller report wich runs pretty fast ( 1-2 min) works. This will confirm that there is no connectivitiy issues between RAS and RAS SDK.
2. If you get the efrror for every single report, even the smaller ones, make sure the box running RAS and RAS SDK code( in case they are 2 different) can ping each other with IP, shortname and FQDN. If there is a firewall between them, the RAS port needs to be opened for bidirectional communication. By default RAS chooses a random port for communication with SDK but within CMC you can configure it to use a specific port and open it.
3. If the issue is specific only to reports that are long running, typically more than 10 minutes, then you need to inclease the CORBA timeout to a value more than what the reports typically would take to process. This is done on client code side or IIS in this case.
Here are the steps:
Make the following changes on the application server/system.
Open RegEdit by going to Start > Run and typing in regedit.exe. Then click Ok.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Report Application Server\Client SDK\CorbaAdapter
Change the value of SendRequestTimeout(ms) to 100000.
Change the value of WaitReplyTimeout(ms) to 6,000,000 ms. The default value is 600,000 ms and may not be long enough.
Restart IIS by going to Start > Run and typing in iisreset. Then click Ok.
Retry the failing application.

There has been a network or file permission error. The network connection..

hello,
there has been a network or file permission error. The network connection may be lost.
this is the error my client gets sometimes when he wants to save a word document.
when i go in the finder i have no problem accessing that network share, and when i look up the file and check the permissions there is no reason why this error should occure.
situation :
1 os 10.3.9 server
7 os 10.5.5 clients
1 os 10.3.9 client
office 2004 for mac (version 11.50)
there are 2 10.5.5 clients (emacs) with this problem on a regular base (3-5 times a week). One imac 17" 10.5.5 has this once a month.
it is a wired cat5 network.
any idea what could cause this problem?
thanks

I cannot sign into App Store. "unknown error" and then "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"

I cannot sign in to the App Store.
I changed countries a few months ago and updated all my account info and everything was working fine, until recently, while trying to upgrade my softwear to Mavericks, which I cannot do. My apple Username and password work fine on iTunes and on my iPhone. I can also access all my account info when I sign in through the website. It just will not work for the App Store on my Mac Pro.
When I click "Welcome" under Quick Links it asks me to sign in. I sign in with my Apple Username and Password and then it DOES NOTHING
When I click on "Free Upgrade" and then "Install" on the mavericks software, it asks me to sign in again. This time it says "unknown error" and then it says "We cannot complete your request. There has been an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)"
I''m completely blocked. I cannot procede without being able to update my software.
Please help me.

You could try this.
Back up all data.Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Reboot and test. If there's no change, restore the item you deleted from a backup, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, you may need to recreate some of your settings in the Network preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

Lightroom 5 says "There has been an error during the modification of the modules." Lightroom does not open, freezes.

Hi, I've got Creative Cloud, on a Mac Pro late 2010, 6 Core, 3.3 Gz, which has just been emptied and re-set with Yosemite. I've downloaded the Adobe stuff I need, especially Ps, Il, Id, Pp, Ae and Lightroom 5. Everything works find except Lightroom which doesn't open, giving me this message each time: "There has been an error during the modification of the modules." There is no error number attached and the program freezes. I've got a deadline which has been broken because I can't finish the work I've started in Lightroom 5 on my old computer which I deactivated in order to run the new one. Now I don't know what to do nor where to look for the problem. I've placed the Lightroom Library on an external LaCie 4Big 8Tb Raid 5.

Error: var g_objCurrentFormData_Error : There has been an error while processing the form

Hi,.
I have a InfoPath 2010 form which was published to SharePoint 2010. I migrated the content db to SQL Server 2012 and I have converted the Sharepoint 2010 (windows based) to the SharePoint 2013 claims based site. I have not fully upgraded the site to
2013 version (Version upgrade to SP 2013) is not done..
In the InfoPath 2010 form, which is available in SP 2013. I have a button and on click of it, i have the below code:
XPathNavigator domNav = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();
XPathNavigator fldUserurl = domNav.SelectSingleNode("/my:myFields/my:TaskUrl", this.NamespaceManager);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(fldUserurl.Value))
string urlToDecode = HttpUtility.UrlDecode(fldUserurl .Value);
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("<script type='text/javascript'>window.open('" + urlToDecode + "','_self','left=20,top=20,width=500,height=500,toolbar=1,resizable=0');</script>");
HttpContext.Current.Response.Flush();
HttpContext.Current.Response.End();
The above code works fine in SharePoint 2010, however after moving the Site to SP 2013 Claims mode, I am getting the error as
"var g_objCurrentFormData_Error = [[[12,"There has been an error while processing the form.","","","guid"]],[],0,"","",1033,"","",["0","","","","","",0,0,"",0,false],"","0",false,"",0,"","http:\u002f\u002ftest-t1.com\u002fs\u002fTestApplication","ltr","http:\u002f\u002ftest-t1.com\u002fs\u002fTestApplication",6.35202885373882E+17"
In the SP Logs, i found the below:
Unhandled exception processing request for PostbackPage Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Util.InfoPathFatalException: Exception of type 'Microsoft.Office.InfoPath.Server.Util.InfoPathFatalException' was thrown.

How to fix this?

Hi Venkatzeus,
please let us know your sharepoint 2013 latest cumulative update, if possible please make sure it is March 2013 update or above.
as i know, between 2010 infopath and 2013 there are difference, perhaps if you can debug your form it may help.
most probably there are environment settings difference between 2010 sharepoint and 2013 sharepoint. such as the data connection size/length, that causing it failed, or the form data is NULL.

InfoPath form, rich text fields, "There was a form postback error" InvalidOperationException, There has been an error while processing the form

Using InfoPath 2013 browser enabled form.
I am getting the above error on ALL Infopath Designed Rich Text fields, where the "Cannot be blank" attribute is set.
To reproduce it, I create a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I add 2 Rich Text fields and enable "cannot be blank". To raise the error, I put some data in the RT field. Skip to another field (so focus is changed and a postback
occurs), then back to original field to delete the contents (to raise the validation).
I originally thought it was associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered (and I have re-registered it just in case), but the exception I get from the ULS logs reads (it is from a list AFTER I have re-registered the DLL):
There was a form postback error. (User: 0#.w|myDomain\jc, Form Name: Template, IP: , Request: h t t p ://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/Item/newifs.aspx?List=2212ff41-77b4-445b-931b-d7e538c9da91&Source=h t t p://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/AllItems.aspx&RootFolder=&Web=3db49106-bdca-47bb-b4cd-a549d2d86aa7,
Form ID: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:infopath:list:-AutoGen-2015-01-16T21:51:48:853Z, Type: InvalidOperationException, Exception Message: No content generated as the result of the operation.) 8cc5e09c-3665-903b-575a-faaac506c40a
I noticed that errors associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered would have some sort of COM exception (example: TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED or REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)
I also should mention that this problem started happening about 3 weeks ago. We have extended the web application to handle HTTPS on the intranet zone (we had a reverse proxy project that did not eventuate) - would that cause something? How can I do further
checking?

Hi,
I have done a test in my SharePoint, and I met the same issue with you.
I created a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I added 2 Rich Text fields and enabled "cannot be blank". I put some content in the RT field, then delete the contents, I got the error message:"there has been an
error while processing the form."
Here is a similar post said that executing the command: regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\
OFFICE14\htmlchkr.dll" will solve the issue.

But I just disabled "cannot be blank", and it solved the issue.
