Another customer having nightmare with XP downgrade.

Should the Thinkpad SL500 come with a supplemental XP recovery disc?
There isn't one in the pack, but the system refuses to accept 'no' for an answer.
As the instructions in the pack and on Lenovo online help (also on forums) are either outdated, wrong or for a different machine, I've at a bit of a loss.
I've seen a warning box saying 'debug assertation failed' a couple of times, but I've no idea what that means...
And the help desk is closed...
The retailer was understanding - clearly this must happen a lot with Lenovo - so I'm tempted to return the machine to the retailer, and buy one from Dell (I swore blind I'd never buy another machine from Dell, but at least they pre-install XP and send the proper software rather than 'recovery' discs).
Thanks

The XP recovery disk? Are you saying that your laptop came with Vista OS, and you have XP pro downgrade disks included? There should be 3 disks in the downgrade disk pack.

HT4527 how can i transfer my purchases from one windows pc to another without having access to the pc with the music on as it is broken

How can I allow the application to line through a field that has been locked after being digitally signed?
We have multiple sections on a form with some fields being proposed information and other in another section having the approved information. once the approved information is entered we line through the proposed field so the data entry clerk won't pick up the wrong information. However we are receiving an error when attempting to enter data in the field which we have this edit. Error property: line through cannot be set because doing so would violate the document permission setting. any idea how we can get around this issue?

You can control which fields are locked down after signing by setting up a collection. Then those that are not locked can be changed after signing. If this is not possible, then the line outs must occur prior to signing.

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes does not have a ringtone tab. I can not sync the ringtones.

I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab. I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)! Please help.

Yes, the file extension is M4R. Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook? I then opened them in Itunes and played them. I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes). When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty. Thanks in advance for your help.

Having trouble with custom web auth page on 4404

Hi all
I am having trouble with a custom web auth page on my controller, we have edited the original file, but when we click login it goes to page cannot be displayed and it doesnt redirect to the page I want, however when I close the window and reopen it has already authenticated me.
Has anyone got a copy of some working html code I can use ?
cheers

There is sample Web Authentication bundle avaiable for download from cisco.com. if you go to the software download page and go to Wireless->Standalone Controllers->4404 you should see a link for Wireless Lan Web Authentication Bundle.
Its the same bundle whether you have a WiSM, 4404 or 2100

who is going to help me out and atleast pay attention to what my problem is. apple seems to ignore my attempts to show them what is the problem... the dont even want to see the videos.. !! disgusting.
its still under warrenty. please help.

Take your iPhone to an Apple Store or authorized service center in the country where you purchased the iPhone and they will look at it and replace it under warranty if applicable.
If you cannot take it person contact them to determine how to send them your phone.
You can't expect them to replace your iPhone without first examining it.

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

I just recently up graded from AI CS6 to AI CC and I am having issues with my pen tool. If I create a starting point and then make another point it does not allow me to make the second point an end point. The pen tool stays active and I either have to click to isolate the path or I have to return to the first point and close the path. Please help.

artisttouch,
If you cannot close the Pen Tool by switching to another tool, as a temporary measure you may try pressing P (for Pen).
To solve it, you may try the list.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (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 curent artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 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);
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, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

I was having problems with my iPhone 5s. Was able to get another 5s. In the process of setting it up, but it is taking forever ... and it seems to be frozen at one particular place.

I was having problems with my iPhone 5s (couldn't receive iMessages or emails). Cell company tried "fixing it" but to no avail. They ordered me a repacement 5s. Trying to set up, but it is taking forever. Seems to be stuck in one particular spot. It's at the stage with a black screen, white apple icon and a bar underneath. The bar is is just a fraction complete, and it has been stuck in this spot for almost an hour. Tried to restart it but it went to the same spot and froze again.

BOB we need you urgently
Perhaps Bob will see this thread, he is the professor in these cases.
You do not use a WEP password but wpa/wpa2 on router and equipment.
All equipment connects to WiFi, but for your iPad.
Even with all other equipment WiFi off, you cannot connect your iPad.
Your iPad connects to other WiFi nets correctly.
All resets etc done on iPad and Router.
Still I am not sure it is your router for sure, frustrating...
I want to test 2 other things:
1. in your iPad, set everything OFF in Settings/Cellular, turn off/then/on your WiFi, and see whether it will still not connect...
2. If that does not do it: disconnect the router as well as the modem from the power, for 15 seconds, then reconnect the modem, let it fully start, then reconnect the routet let it fully start, turn of your WiFi in iPad, then on, and see whether it will connect.

How to clear customer open items by another customer open item

Hi Guru's
I have a problem, we need to assign and clear the open items of one customer with another customer from same company code. is it possible?
for eg: I have a customer X whose Debit balance is USD1000 and Cusomer Y is having Credit balance is 1000. Customer Y is agreed to settle the amount to customer X.
since customers are not related , we dont maintain any relationship in SAP. how do we post and clear the open items?
please let me know the procedure.

Hi,
When the moment you finish choose open item for 1st customer and then you have to press F7 (Charge off diff.) new screen comes then press F6 (Choose Open Items), then enter required data for 2nd customer (such as customer code, doc number, etc). You can post partially, and residually for this clearing posting.
Good luck.

Im having problems with my iphone

Hello,
First and foremost id like to express my extream dissatisfaction with my current Iphone 4, i brought it at a local store over a year ago (8 or 9 month ago) and since day one it started presenting problems.
First problem was everytime i conected the earphones the music would sound distorted and squeeqy, it got to the point, i would plug in the earphones and couldnt hear anything at all. I was told this was a common problem to plug in and out the earphones various times to make it work.
After trying to fix it, with no success i decieded to go on using the iphone just by listening to everything in speakerphone. One day i was using facetime and my iphone froze, i restarted my iphone believeing it was a problem with the network connection and when trying to re open my camera the lid would stay stuck and the app would not open, i was able to use the camera via instagram and other apps, but the cam would never open on its original application
After beeing extreamly fustrated i called the apple support and explained to them i had done a full factory restore and my iphone camera would still stay stuck in the lid. The awefull support team for apple told me like...well there is nothing we can do your iphone is out of warranty, even though i had recently purchased it and had POP (proof of purchase) on my behalf. I decided to take matters into my own hands now that i was "out of warranty" and apple wasent going to do **** for me, i took my phone to a shop repair, (notice i payed 462.93 US$) for this i still had hopes to fix it. They opened the iphone and where able to change the "'flair"' or whatever it is you call it. I had my camera fixed and my earphones, about a few weeks ago THE **** PHONE doesnt detect any wifi hotspots unless i stand really close to the routers, and about 4 days ago i have a message that says NO SERVICE, its really wierd cause i pay very expensive for my phone line, so i called my phone service, and their seemed to be no inconvinience with my line, i tried my sim card in another iphone and it seemd to be having perfect signal. So i tried a reseting my networks settings, that didnt work, and now i did a factory restore, and it still says no service. Im so dissapointed with apple and iphone, the only reason i have not changed to samsung is becuase i have a Macbook and was looking forward to purchasing a IPad but it seemss as if throwing this "smartphone" to the trash would do much better, the apple phone suppport is the ****, support ever, calling my little brother works better. Apple has no interest in helping their customers, and getting their issues resolved. I work in a harddrive company and anytime one of our customers calls in whith a complain we do our best to give them world class customer service. With all the billions apple receives a year they should take their time and hire some personel or improve in making their products a little better. i I have no idea what to do to fix my problem and im sick and tired of waisting so much money trying to fix a cellphone which is apperantly NON fixable, this makes me want to **** apple and move on with something that might work just a little better. Sides the fact i pay alot of money purchasing all the gadgets for my iphone still nothing works. Its a very big shame i didnt pay attention when they told me iphones would give me this much trouble and not buy a samsung.
Please remind me to never recomend iphone to anyone ever again!
<Edited By Host>

try replacing the sim card after that it needs to be replaced and since you had some one else open up the phone you would lose the out of warranty replacement price and have to buy a new one at the full retail value
