Access Connections 5.12 and Power Manager 2.41a continue to garble the screen
The newest versions of Access Connections and Power Manager continue to be soooooooo slowwwwwwww that when they start, they both leave a Not Responding screen in the background and the graphics in the foreground continue not to display properly. The big red circle is cut off at the top border and the Close buttons are fuzzy and not clear. The root problem is that both applications are exceedingly slow to load even on a super fast system.
These problems version after version after version after version have never been corrected.
I have drawn this to Lenovo's attention on numerous occassions before. This time is pretty much the last straw.
Does anybody at Lenovo listen? That was a rhetorical question.
These two applications appear to be permanently broken.
.... jdhurst
The same experience here. The only new ThinkVantage app that works acceptably and is worth of upgrade is only Fingerprint reader software. Power Manger and Access Connections are too slow and add nothing that important (as far as I am concerned) to be worth of trouble to update. So I stick to the older versions in those two cases.

I've tried restoring it and resetting it to factory settings but nothing is working. Can an iPhone get so smashed that the screen stops working completely? If I got the screen fixed would it be fixed? ahhh

Sure it can. The screen is a sensitive part of the phone. Whatever caused the glass to break may have caused other more extensive damage to the internla components.

No way to answer that. Its impossible to know if only the screen is damaged or if something else suffered damage when the screen broke.
Judging by the constant beeping, I would think its developed a short or some other failure somewhere from the accident. -
Access Connections 5.02 and Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN
Has somebody else come across that the new Access Connections 5.02 is incompatible with the Intel's 5300 AGN Wlan card deployed in ThinkPad T400? I have verified that the right driver (newest => 12.00.4000) is installed for the card in Windows XP, newest Access Connections software (5.02), Power Management Driver (/ACPI => v1.50) and Hotkey (v2.08.2008) utility.
We use Microsoft's RIS to deploy Windows workstations with Windows XP SP3 and creating the image for our one and only T400 has been, to put mildly, tricky.
The problem is that Access Connections (triggered through Fn+F5) is not able to power off or power on the WLAN card. It is able to work with the Bluetooth radio, but not the WLAN.
Going through the README for Access Connections reveals T400 is one of the supported models, but Intel WiFi Link 5300 is not mentioned in the wireless adapter list. 5100 is, but not 5300. Now I'm not sure if the Lenovo's documentation is just not up-to-date, or what?
Has anyone else been affected by this? The laptop came pre-installed with Vista SP1, but I did not even bother to load it even once, since I always just start creating RIS image for new ThinkPad models.

The 5300 is definitely listed on some of the standard T400 configurations, and is also a selectable option on the CTO configurations, so there is no doubt that the 5300 should be a supported card for the T400.

It's your call what you do, but my advice is to always fire up the vendor installed environment for any new configuration that comes to hand and make sure that everything works as expected before blowing it away with some other SOE.
That establishes a baseline for what may or not be workable, which is an essential element for later troubleshooting in a custom OS load.

Power Manager 2.41a not working
Hi,
Can anyone reproduce or solve this problem:
After Install of the Power Manager 2.41a on VistaX64 the power manager doesn't start anymore. More precisely it doesn't start after i removed the battery and plugged display in the taskbar. When I try to start it from the productivity center or from the programs folder it just displays the title window and then disappears.
After completely reinstalling the Manager the same happened.
Any Ideas how I can get it to work are welcome...
Daniel
Solved!
Go to Solution.x61s
i had the same exact problem has your with the power manager 2.41a, it would show the title but does not load all the way it would just disappear, so i downloaded the power manager 2.42 from lenovo site, installed the driver, and it would still do the same thing but title does not say it is 2.42 it say 2.41a, does not load. So this is what i did to make it work:
1. uninstall power manager 2.41a and power manager driver managment from control panel.
2. install power manager 2.42 driver from lenovo site, if they ask if overwrite say yes to all.
3. now go in the c: drive and under utilites search for power manager and reinstall it. restart comp. and it should load find now, but some time power manager is slow to load but it will load.
hope this help. -
Text problems on X40 Access Connections and Power Manager
Recently, and possibly in conjunction with a recent Lenovo update, Access Connections and Power Manager (at the least, there may be other programs that have problems too, but I have not checked all) display all text as little boxes. The functionality is still there, but it is kind of hard to figure out what's what. I have PM 1.6.3 (just installed the latest), but not sure of version of Access Manager, as I can't see it.
I can email a screen shot if needed, but could not figure out how to put one in here. Any help would be most appreciated.
BruceHi Sami,
I just got stuck on the same problem as you and following is what I found in details fro ThinkVantage Access Connections version 5.30. Hope this helps.

The interface connecting Lean-WM and inventory management
Dear experts!
Thank you for your attention!
I am confused at the interface connecting Lean-WM and inventory management.
there are so many concepts in this field, such storage location, picking areas, storage types and so on.
Could you please give me an real case or a illustration to discribe that how the interface connecting Lean-WM and inventory management works?
Best regard!
Tangdarkyou do nto need to enter serial numbers while clearing inventory at WM level but at IM in case you have the serial profile activated then you need to enter serial numbers when clearing inventory from the IM level.
according to what you have said it should automatically pop up a screen where you need o enter the serial numbers but this is weird it is not doing.
Please check the following:-
Does the serial number profile config in OIS2 have "MMSL" as a property and if so is entry of serial numbers mandatory during goods receipt and issue ad if there is a stock check active -
I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks
Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

Software for suspend/hibernate and power management?
After working with Arch on my desktop pc for a while, I today installed it on my laptop, as well. Everything works fine so far, but after reading through a lot of articles on the wiki and threads on this board, I'm a little confused about which tools I should use for hibernate/suspend and power management?
Cpufreq-utils, acpid, pm-utils, laptop-mode-tools, etc. What do you recommend for use?
Thanks in advance!
Last edited by mamr (2008-10-25 09:07:14)All that you listed there have different functions. I use all the above on my laptop. Cpufreq-utils enables the frequency scaling, pm-utils (should) enables suspend and/or hibernate, laptop-mode-tools adds some power management functions, etc. Anyways, they're all useful for a laptop. Install, tweak, ask questions
Good luck!

I'm currently running ios 5 beta on my iphone 4 and when i woke up this morning my phone had decided to automatically update the software OTA. After connecting to wifi and switching on location i proceeded to follow the instructions 'slide to setup'. I was informed that it may take 3 minutes to activate phone but was then presented with the screen 'Could not Activate iphone', this is because the activation server is unavailable. Can anybody shed some light on this for me?
Many thanksCan anybody shed some light on this for me?
Not here. iOS5 beta is only available to registered developers, and discussing it publicly outside of the private developer forums is a violation of the non-disclosure agreement you signed to access the beta. -
while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?
Disconnect the iPad, do 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 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 -
Where can I get my power management board repaired ...replace the AC7000 chip ( that now has a little hole in it from a power serge ) or replaced in Fiji?
Actually, this is how I do my projects . . . I pull together all the assets (video clips, stills, graphics) and tag them in a database. Then, I can pull them into various segments. I learned the ctrl+m five years ago when it was suggested on the old forum by some guy named named Steve Grisetti.
Example - - - I've done multiple soccer videos. There are maybe 16 players on a team... each is a tag. There are great headers . . . that's a tag . . . don't forget awesome defensive plays . . . tag. A tag for screwups / funny. A tag for regular season play, a tag for post-season playoffs, etc.
This allows you to build it as you go. So, as you start to compile a season end video, it's relatively simple to pull content. Oops, you review the segments and see that one kid's hardly included... select the tag with their name and you can pull in a few more clips. If you're documenting a season, you can see how the database is coming along and determine you need more footage of certain situations and then adjust the shooting priorities at the next couple games, etc.
As you build the collection, possible themes come... perhaps a song or two that might add an element or tie things together.
SO... goal is to assemble a collection of decent and tight clips (leaving room for handles on each). Tossing out all the superferlous stuff. In shooting a 90 minute soccer game, there can be times when I end up with only ten minutes of visually interesting stuff.
I'm also compiling content to be used in a video for a cool company here in Seattle. Different thing altogether, but will take a similar apporach (fewer digital assets, however).
I don't usually take assets from one project and put onto another . . . especially when doing youth sports, this could create issues. -

Cant's connect my Google and Yahoo calendar's. I am getting the Error message :A secure connection could't be established". Any recommendations on how to fix it? iMac/Mavericks
This article has a link for more information on finding your profile directory: [[Fix the "Could not initialize the application's security component" error message]]. On Windows 7, you can try this (either in a Windows Explorer window address bar or from the start menu search box):
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
You may see one folder in there and that's the one you want. If you see more than one, look for the one with the most recently modified files.
