Windows 7 brightness reverts back, wifi takes long to reconnect after sleep

Hi fellow members,
My brightness setting keeps reverting to max. I have tried setting via power manager and also from control panel.I can adjust but when the computer restarts, the brightnes reverts to max. It started happeing around a month ago. I didn't have these issues until about 2 months ago. I have had my x301 for over an year without issues.
Another issue I have been experiencing is that wifi takes a long time to reconnect after sleep. About 5 minutes. This is also a new issue.
I have the latest BIOS, latest power manager, all drivers are upto date. Here are the specs.

Check in the Windows power profile for the brightness issue. Windows will apply it's own at boot, then Power Manager will override, which leads to a momentary discrepancy.

Yes you can, however it is A LOT easier if you make a 10.6 TimeMachine (disconnect it) and/or (best) a 10.6 Carbon Copy Cloner bootable clone. (disconnect it too)
TimeMachine drives are not bootable, so you will require your 10.6 install disk (slow) to be perfectly functional to boot and perform the ENTIRE drive erasure required to restore the 10.6 TimeMachine copy (slow) to the internal drive.
With a 10.6 bootable clone on a external drive, it's hold the option key bootable, so your up in seconds on the 10.6 clone and can be erasing the entire internal drive while surfing the web.
Also if your 10.6 disk is not working, the clone is, so it's another bootable backup.
Most commonly used backup methods
The other more complicated method to restore 10.6 on a machine that was upgraded to 10.7 or 10.8 is to extract all one's files into a neutral state on a external storage drive. (not TiThen use the 10.6 disk to wipe everything and reinstall 10.6 fresh, then programs then files.
10.7 and 10.8 changes things in the User/Library, so you can't just restore from TimeMachine backwards.
Also newer versions of programs from Apple changes their support files, like iTunes Library and iPhoto Library, so it's a lot more work extracting your original mp3's and jpg's for reimportation into 10.6 versions of those programs.

If you follow the instructions I gave it does not delete the profile folder where the user data such as bookmarks are stored. When you install the earlier version it will use the same profile data so you do not lose your user data.

T440p wifi slow reconnect after sleep

Hi,
I have a T440p with the intel 7260AC wifi card. I recently upgraded my HDD to an SSD and did a clean windows 7 install. Now, when waking up from sleep, it alwas takes about a min before it reconnects to a wifi network. The reconnect used to be instantaneously.
I turned off the setting in power management of the Intel 7260AC to "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". But this didn't solve the problem. I also have the latest intel wifi 7260AC drivers 17.0.2.5.
Anybody knows what could be causing this?

Did you also install Access Connections?

10.9.2 upgrade and now wifi will not automatically reconnect after wake from sleep

I upgraded to 10.9.2 on my mid-2012 Macbook air and now when i wake the laptop from sleep the wifi will not automatically reconnect. I have to physically click on my network to re-join it.

Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Make sure the network is on the preferred list by following these instructions. It's important to read the article carefully, as it's the starting point for any further efforts to solve the problem. If you skip any of the steps, the problem may not be solved. Make sure the box marked
Remember networks this computer has joined
is checked.
2. Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading
Symptom: After restarting or waking from sleep, my computer might not connect to the Internet
3. Reset the PRAM.
4. Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
5. From the Location menu at the top of the Network preference pane, select Edit Locations. A sheet will drop down. Click the plus-sign button to create a new location. Give it any name you want. In the new location, set up the Wi-Fi service with the same settings you used before. Click Apply and test.
6. Launch the Keychain Access application. Search for and delete all AirPort network password items that refer to the network. Make a note of the password first.
7. Repair permissions on the startup volume.
8. Turn off Bluetooth and test.
9. Reset the System Management Controller.
10. Reinstall OS X.

Wifi takes long time to connect

My MacBook Air (13-inch, mid-2013) takes a long time to connect to any wi-fi network (~ 30 seconds), including known/previously connected ones. Upon wake from sleep, the network will have disconnected and will have to reconnect, again taking about 30 seconds. Also, I notice that even when the display turns off briefly, the network will still disconnect. It does not matter which network it is. However, Power Nap notifications will still show up and be up to date upon wake, suggesting that the disconnection is happening only when I wake the computer.
Things I have tried:
- removing all networks
- toggling wake for wi-fi network access and put hard disks to sleep when possible
- setting Location
- deleting all network system preference files and restarting
- resetting SMC
- restoring OS X Mavericks (10.9.3, clean install) with no recovery of network settings
Any ideas on further things to try?

The latest OS X update (10.9.4) is supposed to fix some problems like yours.

Why does wifi takes longer with Lion than Snow Leopard?

My Macbook pro doesn't find my Airport nearly as quick with Lion as it did with Snow Leopard. Many times it will even jump over to another persons unlocked network even though my Airport is at the top of the preferred list of networks. It also shows a box saying that I am not connected even after I am connected, so then I have to click the box just to remove it. This is annoying as ****. Why is this happening? There weren't any similar problems when upgrading fron Leopard to Snow Leopard.

Garageband takes longer to load after the 5.2 update

I've found that Garageband '08 does not load correctly with the 5.2 update. Apparently, Garageband takes up to a minute or longer to load During this time, the initialization window is active, the Finder acts somewhat slower, and Garageband is listed as unresponsive in the Dock. Usually, it loads after a long period of time, and works, but once I quit GB, it has to load up for a long time again. I've seen in other threads that external iSight cameras and other audio-related peripherals can by the cause of this, but I do not use my FireWire iSight camera with my MBP, nor do I have any external speakers and whatnot. Right now, I just have Office 2008 installed alongside the other applications.
My question is what files, if any are conflicting with GB, should I look for? Or what would fix the problem as a whole? I understand that there were some other topics about this issue, but I don't think anyone has mentioned any tips in the past few days. I use GB a lot, so I could use some assistance. Any help would be appreciated.
-MacUser

Since I end up waiting at least 30 seconds to 2 minutes or so for GB to open, I need to figure out if I should just reinstall OS X with the restore disks and leave it at that until a fix arrives... I'd rather not though. Apple, come on, release a patch or some sort of fix for it!
I did try to recreate the problem by using a FireWire iSight but even after doing that and fixing it, nothing changed. I saw in one thread that some people have GB working correctly for them while others do not, so surely there is something somewhere wreaking havoc with GB. This is really odd.

Mouse takes long to connect after powering on

I've had my MacBook Pro & Magic Mouse for three days, and absolutely love them so far. I've only had one problem so far, but I'm going to assume it's just something I am doing wrong so maybe someone here can give me a tip.
When I turn my MacBook off, I like to hit the power switch on the bottom of the mouse, since there is no need to waste the batteries while I am not using it (assuming it still uses battery power when the mouse is idle). Now my problem is, when I power the MacBook back up and turn the mouse on as well, the green light will flash for about 5 minutes, until it finally starts working on my MacBook.
Is it normal to take this long for the mouse to start working again, or is there something I am doing wrong?

Jasper84,
Reminds me of the old joke:
Patient: "Doc, it hurts when I do this"
Doctor: "Don't do that"
The Magic Mouse has an automatic sleep mode when not in use to preserve batteries. There really isn't a need to turn them off. I keep mine on all the time.
That said, you might be able to improve connection time by going to System Preferences > Bluetooth > highlight the mouse in the left box > hit the gear icon below the list > select "add to favorites".

Captfred

Adobe reader app takes longer to launch after update, why?

After updating my adobe reader I have found that when every I try to launch the app it takes a significantly longer time to load then it used to. Is this the problem with the app itself or is it because I have updated my ipad to the newer ios system, ios 7?
Thanks.

Android 4.4 (KitKat) introduced big changes to SD card support.
Android KitKat Blocks Some Access to Micro SD Cards
You can find many other articles regarding the SD card problem by searching on the internet.
We will be investigating the problem.
To work around the problem in the meantime, could you copy some of the PDF files from your SD card to internal storage (e.g. /storage/emulated/0/...) and see if Adobe Reader can read from and write changes to PDF files on your internal storage. (It should work based on my limited testing. But please verify it.)
You can use any Android File Manager app to move/copy files. Samsung phones and tablets typically has "My Files" as the built-in File Manager.
Alternatively, you can transfer the PDF files to Acrobat.com (free cloud storage service) and access them from Adobe Reader.
Please let us know if any of the suggested approaches work for you.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

My Mac takes longer to start after installing OS X Lion... is this normal?

I just made the upgrado of my OS to the new OS X Lion and in general my computer is working faster than before. The only probelm im having is that when I turn on my mac it takes significantly longer than before. I don´t know if this is normal with the new OS or is there anything I can do to speed up againi the starting process.
Thanks

The OS starting process itself is fine for me, but the time between turning on the macbook until the apple logo appears seems to be much longer now.

Itunes has reverted back to default folder for music after moving it all on to HD

Hi!
I recently moved all my music from both my pc and my laptop (both windows) onto my external hard drive. I followed the step by step instructions set out by apple support. Everything was working great until I opened Itunes without my ex hd being connected. The itunes media file location has now gone back too F/;itunes. And 90% of the music in my library now wont play as it cannot find its original location.
How do I get back to using my ex hd?
Itunes scares the life out of me and im petrified that if I simply change it back to the filepath to my ex hd it will all go t*ts up basically?!
How do I fix it without messing up everything? Will I get duplicates then on my library?
And what folder in my hard drive do I direct it back too?
Would I be as well deleting itunes and reinstalling?
Any help would be great!!
Please dont be too techinal in your responses as Im not great with the pc lingo! Explain like you would to a child lol!!
Thanks Again!
Claire

You have a split library, database files on an internal drive, media files on an external drive. While this works it isn't portable and you have the issue with the media folder resetting to the internal path if you start iTunes without the external drive connected.
Making a split library portable
If your external media folder is called \iTunes\iTunes Media then process is relatively easy. Copy the contents of the iTunes folder on your internal disk into \iTunes on the external, then hold down shift (PC) or option (Mac) as you start iTunes and choose the iTunes library on your external drive.
If you external media folder has a different path or name then a few more steps are involved.
Consolidate your library before you start just in case the are any files outside of the designated iTunes Media folder.
If avaiable use the option File > Library > Rearrange files in the folder "iTunes Media" to upgrade the structure of your library to the post-Tunes 8 layout.
Copy the contents of the iTunes folder into the parent folder of the media folder.
Connect iTunes to the library on the external with the shift/option-start-iTunes method.
Close iTunes and rename the media folder as iTunes Media, then start iTunes, check a track or two, then close it again. (Skip this stage if the folder already has the correct name)
Rename/move the parent folder as \iTunes (or create a new folder at \iTunes and move the iTunes library files, Album Artwork & iTunes Media folders into it) then reconnect iTunes to the library with the shift/option-start-iTunes method.
If you should now start iTunes without the external drive connected, iTunes will warn you that it cannot find the library and prompt you to choose or create one. Simply cancel, connect the drive, and restart.
