Anything we can look forward to in the T410?

Hi everybody, I am currently a college student so i am able to get student discount on the Thinkpad T410 for $854.10 + 10% discount. Is this all I can expect this summer, or can i expect a better deal later on? Thanks in advance.

Will it probably be another 5 years before the T410 drops to about 500ish? cause I remember there was one sale for the T400 that went for about 500ish.
This would depend on Intel's processor roadmap, Lenovo's product roadmap and the such. The T500 had a pretty good run model wise.. I paid just about 1000 for mine in Feb 2009.. I would say it usually takes a year and a half or so for the prices to drop but that will usually coinside with a model refresh or a new model release..

When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there anything I can do about this ?

When converting an image from raw to jpeg , the jpeg can look flat compared to the original raw image . Is there any way to prevent this ?

Hi Joe , Thank you for your quick response . I am viewing the jpeg in Microsoft Picture Manager and Flickr. It 's not always really noticeable , but for example if I shoot into the light with dew on the grass , the dew glistens in LRoom and I'm happy with the shot but when I convert it to jpeg ,it looks dull. I have changed the setting to sRGB - from Adobe 1998 ,but don't see much difference. Kind regards Alberto.

My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it and re-plug it in, everything is fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

My airport express frequently drops the internet connection. Once I unplug it, and re-plug it in, my Macbook Pro17,IMac 24, iPad air and my wife's Acer 15 works fine until it drops the signal again. This happens on a regular basis. Is there anything I can do ensure it maintains the internet connection?

It is tricky..
But yes it can be done as long as you use a different IP subnet to what is being used for the internet..
So I need to know what modem router you have?? Does it have wireless as that would make it very easy?
What IP is the computer getting?
Then I can give you the details to setup wireless statically on a different subnet.

After updating my iPhone 3GS to IOS 6.1.3, my iPhone no longer charges by wall or connected to my computer, it doesn't even start itunes, meaning I cannot restore software, anything that can be done without returning the phone?

I updated the phone, and now, it won't charge through the wall charger, or through connecting to my PC. It doesn't even launch itunes or register it has connected. But the phone still palys music through my docking station. HELP!?

Hey guy;
I have the same problem and I do anything you can imagine. If you leave your phone about two or three days and after that plug in it your phone will be power on but your problem doesn't fix. I tried to restore as a new phone, reset all my settings and also I contacted Apple Support but I couldn't fix it. I think that it would be a software issue because it occurred right after iOS 6.1.3 update. It look likes that we have only two choice. First choice is waiting until Apple release next iOS update and check it in our phones, and the other choice is visiting an Apple retail store to diagnostic our phones for hardware issue.

TS1389 I have tried every single thing on this list and none of it worked. Is there anything I can do to listen to the music I bought?

I've done everything suggested twice, deauthorised, reauthorised, uninstalled, reinstalled, and nothing. This is my first purchase on iTunes, and I am not impressed. Anyone know how to fix this? Can I at least burn the music off onto a CD and listen to it that way?

Explicit versions will have 'explicit' (or a red 'E') against them in the store, if it's not labelled then it will be clean.
Purchases are considered final but you can try 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support and see if they will credit or refund you so that you can buy the explicit version : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Is there anything I can do short of reformatting the external hard drive?

After 5 years of good service my external hard drive isn't working right with Time Machine. Here's the note I sent to a an AppleCare person I talked to this afternoon:
Disk Utility couldn't repair the disk.
I got red messages:
Incorrect number of file hard links
Invalid catalog record type
The volume OWC Mercury Elite AL Pro couldn't be verified completely.
After I rebooted using my hard drive it didn't even appear as a disk under the 1.5 TB OEM firewire line and I had to reset it again like we did before by pulling the plug for 30 seconds.
Okay, is there anything else I can do to short of reformatting the disk?
If not, how do I reformat it?
During the phone conversation he seemed certain that reformatting and losing 5 years of Time Machine backups would be the only solution if Disk Utility wouldn't repair the external drive, but is there anything else I might try?
I'm using OS 10.6.8 a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac.
Thanks!

Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Is there anything i can use in place of the spring?

Ive recently broken my digitizer and in the prossess of removing it and replacing it ive lost the copper home button spring.

I red about a Silverlight 5 version that should run also on ipad/iphone, annouced last year for 2011, but I can't find any recent update. On apple store you can find a silverlight 3 version at 5.99$, but it does not seem to be the same thing, just same name.
I'm not sure that this closure is a good policy from apple side. If I knew in advance I would never buy an ipad.

- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.) Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Delete the App, then reinstall it.
Test the issue after each step. Make sure to quit the app as described before each followup step.

I have been restoring the backup into a new iphone for a week. My pictures do not get restored however. Is there anything I can do?

Not unless the phone was backed up to the icloud or in iTunes at some point. I know you said it's crushed but can it be connected to a computer? If so you can still back it up in iTunes and then when the new phone comes use iTunes to restore that back up on it.

Try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?

I'm looking at getting an Intel iMac which will let me throw away my old PC - Yeah!
I will have a couple of Win apps that I will need to hang on to (Quicken - Quicken for Mac is horrible, but that's another tghread). Anyway, can Bootcamp and Parallels share the same Windows applications and data?
My thought would be to allow my wife to access Quicken from Parallels and not have to reboot. She will only need lightweight access and the overhead of running virtualization wouldn't impact her. I, on the other hand, would want to occasionally boot natively into Windows and run the same application with the same datafile. Is this possible?
Thanks and looking forward to joining the MacIntel world!

Thanks for all of the freplies. I suspected that BootCamp and Parallels could not shar ethe same partition, but wanted to verify. To address some of the other posts:
Re: Quicken vs MoneyDance - I looked at MoneyDance a while back and while it is comparable to Quicken for Mac, it isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows (ergo, Quicken for Mac isn't comparable to Quicken for Windows!). But, as I said, that is a topic for another thread!
Re: Using Bootcamp/Parallels for only one app: I actually have several apps that I still need access to on Windows. I work with many business applications than only run/are supported on Windows as well as receive some complex Office documents which Office for Mac cannot handle. Quicken (for Windows 2007) was just the best example of a consumer app where I could see wanting access from both OS X and Windows.

Anything we can look forward to in the T410?
