After reinstall, T43 2687-D3U (XP) not recognizing anything...

I saw another post that suggested installing the wireless driver, .NET, then installing the ThinkVantage stuff, but I can't get the wireless driver(s) to work. I have tried this one 6mwc15ww.exe & 7ywc54ww.exe. Neither appear to work either by running their respective installers or by updating the driver from hw mgr and pointing to the extracted folder.
Of note, I had to replace the HDD in the machine with a non-IBM one, but it still works (installed just fine, and boots fine), despite the "2010" BIOS error.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! If this was covered in another thread, my apologies, but I couldn't find it for this system model & type...

Welcome to the forum!
Downloading the driver (the first one is the correct one) is just the first part of the process. Now you have to go into C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup file from there.
Hope this helps.

Macbook Air not recognizing anything connected via USB?

My MB Air is not recognizing anything that I connect via USB...camera, harmony remote, phone, toys - nothing! Nothing is showing up as being recongnized...anyone else having this problem? I have tried virtually every device...what the heck?

AFTER 10.5.4 UPDATE "MEDIA NOT RECOGNIZED" WHEN BLANK DVD ON DRIVE

Hi, after update 10.5.4 my CDs and DVDs will be read and play in the Optical Drive, But when I insert a blank one, any kind, the finder will open and when I select to mount it "media not recognized" comes up. I have the same DVDs that Ive been burning to till this update with no problem at all.
I already did permissions repair.
Please help.
Many Thanks!

I have a problem pretty much like that too, I updated my mac, and now my superdrive won't read my discs, but unlike yours, it spits the disc out.
I did find out that it can recognize DVD +R, sometimes, but it can nolonger recognize DVD -R.
Also my superdrive makes a sound like this: http://www.imeem.com/people/2tOboJ/music/gQwemcsY/superdrive_problemwav/
Sorry if I'm hitching on your post Alex, I also have another problem, and that is I can see the "reply to this post" icon but I cant see any icons that say "post new topic" anywhere, I wonder why. =(

ITunes stopped working, uninstalled, now cannot seem to reinstall. The iTunesSetup does not do anything, how do I fix this? Windows 8, new laptop.

It's a 32-bit. I have tried to install both the iTunes 32 and 64 bit, nothing happens after I click on the iTunes installer. It was working fine but after it stopped working (it would just be a white screen), I uninstalled. I tried to run the setup as an administrator and turned off my antivirus and firewall too, but it's not doing anything. I tried to restart the laptop and also tried another account on the computer, it did not work. This is a new Toshiba laptop with Windows 8.
When I say it does nothing, I mean nothing. No popups, no screen flicker, absolutely nothing. All my other files work fine, it's only this.
Thanks.

It worked fine but I think the update may have caused this problem, not sure if there is some fix. The install exe does not even open.

After complete OS reinstall, software DVD's are not recognized

I recently had to completely reinstall my OSX and wipe my HD. I did this for 'spring cleaning' so to speak.
After my Erase and Install OSX I started reinstalling the various software I use. These included both CD and DVD install discs. Smaller programs, on a Install CD, work just fine and have been installed.
However, my larger software that come on Install DVD's are not being recognized by the superdrive. For example, I have tried all of my Adobe CS4 DVD's, as well as my Pro Tools DVD. The same thing happens to all of them.
I insert the DVD, it starts whirring/spinning in the drive, then it slows, stops, then repeats. As if it is attempting to read the DVD over and over and over again. This process continues for about 3-5 minutes until it simply gives up and pops up a box saying that I have inserted a blank DVD.
Obviously none of these DVD's are blank, in fact they contain the very expensive and important software that I have purchased! It is also frustrating that I have to wait this 3-5 minutes before I have the option to eject the disc, as the superdrive is continuously trying to read it.
I tried booting the computer with CommandOption+PR as was suggested, but that didn't change anything.
Suggestions? Thank you.

Run a DVD Lens Cleaner disc through it, often just a tiny spec of dirt or dust will cause read issues.

Help!!after reinstall my 10.6 is not opening some internet pages!

i reinstalled my imac.now i have snow leopard 10.6 and everything great exept that not all internet pages is working.its loading and when its almoust finished its just gone.i mean no loading just white screen.any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, use the Safari menu and Empty Cache, forcing web pages to reload entirely.
If that doesn't help, check to see which version of Safari is installed now.
It's quite likely you're now on Safari 5.0.5 after the reinstall of OS X 10.6.8.
For some reason, Software Update does not offer to install the latest version.
The latest version of Safari for OS X 10.6.8 is 5.1.7, available to download from this non-Apple link at macupdate.com, a reliable vendor of Mac software. Click on 'Download Older Release' to get the correct version:

After 10.3.9 Upgrade, iPhoto not recognizing Library

After I completed my 10.3.9 upgrade (from 10.1.5), and subsequent upgrade to iPhoto 2.0.1, I get the following effor message when launching iPhoto 2.0.1 (iPhoto was working fine before OS upgrade):
Your Photo Library was not found. Do you want to find your Photo Library?
iPhoto can't continue without a Photo Library. Make sure the disk containing your Photo Library is connected.
<Quit> <Create Library...> <Find Library...>
So, I tried Quit. Restarted and got the same result.
Then I tried Find Library, but when I navigate to the file on my computer called Library.data it is greyed out(location is Pictures:iPhotoLibrary:Library.data)
Then I tried Create Library, but of course all I had was an empty library, and I could research no way to import or link my existing library.
Please shower your suggestions on me.
With thanks,
Duane

Hi, Duane. Trash the new, empty iPhoto Library folder that was created when you exercised the "Create Library" option. Open iPhoto, opt to "Find Library", and navigate to your original iPhoto Library folder. Select that folder, not any of the files or folders inside it. That's your library.
The standard, default path to that library folder is: Your hard drive>Users>your account name>Pictures>iPhoto Library. You can move the library elsewhere if you like, but if you have no good reason to do so, leaving it in the default location is probably best.
A cardinal rule for iPhoto users is never to tamper with any of the things inside an iPhoto Library folder. Everything inside that folder is arranged exactly the way iPhoto needs it to be arranged, and next time you open iPhoto, it expects to find all the contents exactly as it left them last time. If you tinker with the contents of that folder via the Finder, or using any tool or utility other than iPhoto itself, the library database will be corrupted for iPhoto's purposes, and some or all of your pictures or albums will seem to have vanished the next time you open iPhoto.
There is a Discussions forum entirely devoted to iPhoto 4 and earlier. If you have further questions related to your version of iPhoto, I recommend posting them in that forum.

After reinstall, help viewer and spotlight not working

Hello,
I am selling my computer. I zeroed out the harddrive. Reinstalled Leopard, updated everything, and now searching on a term in the helpviewer causes it to quit. I tried this, suggested by a person on this forum:
Hello,
Open the Preferences folder, locate these files:
com.apple.help.plist
com.apple.helpviewer.plist
com.apple.recentitems.plist
Drag those files to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot.
However, the first two files do not exist. Searching on them, I discovered that Spotlight had not indexed all files. So I caused it to reindex, but it still is not finding ANY com.apple.... files, and they do exist.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

First check that nothing is excluded from SpotLight search
Then run activity monitor and see if spotlight is running - it takes a very long time on a new system to index everything. Maybe you only need to give it time.
I believe that there is a blinking dot in the center of the spotlight "lens" icon when it is running, but I am not sure.

Itunes only cognizes my Ipod touch once after reinstallation Itunes. After reopening Itunes the Ipod is not recognized anymore?

I tunes has to be reinstalled like my Ipod touch before I can synchronize the music from my I mac to the Ipod touch.
However when I clsoe Itunes and then open it again the Ipod is no longer recognised in Itunes. Strange enough the Ipod is recognised in Iphoto and I movie?
Hopefully someone can give me a good suggestion how to solve this frustrating issue?
Thanks!
Marc

Great suggestion!
After 1 long frustrating month I am finally able to synchronise my Ipod with my Imac over and over again!
A big thank you to Illaass all the way from Holland!

T43 2687-d3u bsod determined to be short in bridge connecting hdd to mobo now what?

Greetings,
So I got the BSOD. Initially thought my hdd died. Purchased a new hdd, still no luck. Determined that the bridge connecting the hdd to the motherboard is loose, presumably from holding the laptop with only 1 hand on the right side of the mouse pad. Now trying to determine my cheapest option. 1 suggestion was to boot off of a external hard drive, but then I loose the portability or make it far more cumbersome. Another suggestion was to replace the motherboard. Does anyone know if the motherboard in a 15.1inch is the same size and the motherboard in my 14.1inch? Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Ryan

or you can use the ultrabay as your main hdd compartment, with a ultrabay slim hdd adapter.

After reinstalling elements 11 I do not see the pictogram in the tag anymore. What to do?

Na het opnieuw installeren van elements 11 is het pictogram in de trefwoordtag niet meer te zien. Hoe los ik dit op?

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.<br />
See also:

You can click the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock if there is a secure connection.
A click on the "More Information" button will show more details about the connection.
The background color of the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar will change color (blue or green) and show the domain in case of a secure HTTPS connection.
* Hover the [[Site Identity Button]] then to see "Verified by xxxx"
* Click the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock
* Click the "More Information" button in that pop-up to see additional information about the connection.
You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.

IPad Camera connector not recognizing anything...

Hi,
I have just got a second hand iPad (original). I have also got a knock-off usb connector off ebay.
I want to be able to sync my Canon 40D with the iPad. This should be no problem google tells me. The iPad is running 4.3.2
I plug in the connector & camera into the iPad, turn on the camera - nothing happens.
I put the memory card into a usb memory card reader and connect it to the ipad - nothing happens.
I plug my iPhone into the iPad - nothing happens.
I plug a Apple USB keyboard into the iPad - nothing happens.
Using the same connector I plug the USB keyboard into my iPhone - I get a warning that this accessory is not for the iPhone.
I'm not really sure where to go from here, instinct is telling me that the knock-off usb connector from ebay is the weakest link here but as the iPhone threw a wobbly when I connected it I'm thinking maybe that's actually working and the problem is with the iPad...
Can anyone please suggest any additional troubleshooting here?

Dan-
At least you are not getting the error message about the USB device drawing too much current!
When you say nothing happens, are you running the Photos App on the iPad at the time? I don't know if it is supposed to open automatically, but that is where imported Photos will go. That is where I see thumbnails of photos on the camera's card, either connecting from the camera or using a USB card adapter.
Are you sure there are pictures on the card in the camera? When I made comparisons between different cameras, the card might or might not show up when it had been reformatted.
Did they get there by taking them with that camera? I understand the Photos App requires images to be in a standard format, and inside the correct folder name on the camera card. If you just copied random images to the card, they might not have the right file name format or be in the right place.
What about trying it with a friend's iPad? If that doesn't work, I would suspect the adapter wasn't good enough. If it does, then your iPad may have a defective connection.

I can't find my events after the update, event manager X not finding anything either

After updating to FCPX 10.1 I managed to import my old projects but I can't open my old events, rendering my old timelines lost.
I downloaded Event Manager X but it can't find any files on my computer or external. Hopefully I'm missing something crucial and obvious, any help is appreciated.

I'm confused by what you mean you said you imported your projects. What action did you take specifically?
When you updated to 10.1 and first opened it you should have gotten a dialogue asking whether you wanted to update your pojects and everts. Did you choose Update All – or something else?
