Apple Trusted Platform Module in MBP?

Hi,
I just wonder is there any use of this "Apple Trusted Platform Module" in MBP (CD, 17") showed in windows XP and vista?
If we will use the bitlocker in vista, we need to config this option in BIOS (PC) but Mac has no where to config?
I tried to search the support in apple web, but no words can be found.
Thank you all

Hi:
According to the quickspecs link below, it does not have a TPM.
http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx%2Fc03944068.pdf
If you want a notebook with a TPM you need a minimum of the HP Probook 600 G1 series.
If you want AMD, and a 15.6" screen then the HP 655 G1 would be the one you want.

What models have Trusted Platform Module (TPM)?

I'm in the processs of enabeling Bitlocker on my new Thinkpad Edge E531 running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Windows seems to think the machine does not have a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) chip installed, which nowadays one would think would be pretty standard. No where in the bios does anything refer to a TPM chip, so if it has to be enabled, it's not clear how. The E531 User manual also makes no mention of TPM, which you'd think it would since it talks about disk encryption. So.... 1. Does the Thinkpad Edge E531 not have a TPM chip?2. If it does, how does one get Windows to recognize it? It is called something else in the bios?3. If it does not, can one be added? Lenovo does sell a TPM module but gives no info on what models it is for.4. And last. what models of Lenovo's present line contain a TPM chip?

Andy, I have an Erazer X510 that came with Windows 8.1 I recently purchased. I installed 8.1 Pro Pack to be able to use Media Center and Bitlocker encryption & am having the same issue not having the ability to enable TPM, an extra security feature for encryption that was not available with standard Windows 8.1. I would have opted for 8.1Pro when I ordered this desktop from Lenovo, but it wasn't offered. I was able to set up a Bitlocker password and recovery pin, but when I attempted to enable everything with TPM it failed because it was not found. The error message stated it may need to be accessed by changing BIOS. I tried getting to BIOS settings without restarting the OS as documentation I could find stated how to, but there wasn't a selection for EUFA Settings on the wash screens. I will have to try to access it from the usual method of rebooting. In order to use the Bitlocker encryption it requires TPM 1.2, and one of the popup error responses my system offers refers to possibly it only having version1.0, and also says TPM needs to be accessed in BIOS settings. 1) Can you please elaborate in detail exactly what you were stating needed to be done in your last sentence of your post on this topic? I know if I do enter BIOS to change settings, it may have unintended consequences for the system if I alter the wrong options. 2) Which particular option(s) am I required to change to enable the TPM version it has installed? And, what does it require if it needs an update to version1.2? If this Erazer system actually has the option with the TPM security chip, it would have been nice for Lenovo to have already had it enabled, and if it actually is not there, it would have been helpful if this information could have been stated in documentation.

License Key Platform and Trusted Platform Module support

I need to implement license key functionality for a product being deployed on Sun blade servers (Solaris). One requirement is that we be able to bind the license key to a particular piece of hardware (ideally using a Trusted Platform Module if available).
What tools and/or documentation are available to help me with this?
Thank you

Thanks,
our plan is to download the evaluation software LMS 3.2.1 for Windows from CCO and install it on a server.
In order to extend the evaluation period of 90 days we try to do so with the license key we have for SunOS.
Database copy is maybe possible through export/import of a csv file. Or not?
Best regards

Satellite U200-181: How can I check if Trusted Platform Module is present

How can I check Trusted Platform module is present or not?

Hi
The configuration of TPM (trusted platform module) is carried out in the BIOS setup program and this function is provided only with some models.
I dont know if the U200-181 supports this or not but you can check it yourself.
The security controller settings should be available in BIOS system Setup on the second site.
If the unit supports the TPM you should see the switch to enable or disable this security option. Usually as per default the TPM is disabled.

R52 18494Wu - Winbond Trusted Platform Module

I had to rebuild my trusty laptop and after recovering all drivers I keep getting a yellow unknown device and its the Winbond Trusted Platform Module. I have downloaded the driver from the Lenovo site followed procedure: clicked on device manager, clicked on unknown device, clicked on driver, clicked on update driver, pointed it to Drivers/Win/TPM it attempts to update Windows/system32 and than the entire laptop freezes . I have tried this several time same results, Is their a way to get around this issue so it can be updated properly. and./or can my particular laptop work without this driver. Thank You In Advance for your time and response

In the bios it is under Security and it should be an option called Security chip.
You can refer to this article for more infos: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749022(v=ws.10).aspx
Try some of the steps listed and see if you can solve your problem.

OL6.5 - Trusted Platform Module ERROR!

I am getting the following boot error message when starting Oracle Linux 6.5 (UEKR3 kernel-3.8.13):
tpm_tis 00:09: A TPM error (7) occurred attempting to read a pcr value
IMA: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!
I have no TPM chip on motherboard and therefore TPM is disabled and not activated in BIOS. OL6.5 UEKR3 kernel-3.8.13 is compiled with options
CONFIG_TCG_TPM=y
CONFIG_TCG_TIS=y
(drivers/char/tpm/tpm_tis.c)
So, as tpm_tis is not built as module, but compiled in kernel, I cannot suspend this error message by blacklisting the module as it doesn't exist. The only way might be a kernel boot parameter, but this area is poorly and badly documented.
Has anybody a clue how to get rid of this stupid error message?

Thanks.
Neither noload=tpm_tis nor tpm_tis=0 work. By the way, do you know what the best place is to find the full list of kernel boot parameters for kernel 2.6.32 and 3.8.13? The kernel documentation shipped by all distros is very poor and obscure.
Of course, I am pretty sure that I don't have the TPM module on motherboard, although there is the place for it, but the place is empty as I never wanted Trusted Platform Module. Therefore both BIOS options - enable/disable and activate/deactivate - are dimmed, i.e. TPM is automatically disabled and deactivated and cannot be set by admin, showing only the dimmed text in both input fields that are read-only: "TPM is disabled and deactivated". Kernel also detects this fact and that is the all what kernel is doing right here. The following is the complete stuff with regard to TPM that I see at boot time:
[root@localhost ~]# dmesg | grep TPM
tpm_tis 00:09: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x4A10, rev-id 78)
tpm_tis 00:09: TPM is disabled/deactivated (0x7)
tpm_tis 00:09: A TPM error (7) occurred attempting to read a pcr value
IMA: No TPM chip found, activating TPM-bypass!
These messages are screwy. The first message claims that I have TPM device with device-id 0x4A10, rev-id 78. Wrong! I do not have such a device. The second message is correct. The third message is foolish and useless as it must necessarily follow from the second message if an attempt to read a pcr value has been done. But why is kernel attempting to read a pcr value after detecting that TPM was disabled and deactivated? The fourth message is correct - No TPM chip found.

Regarding Trusted Platform Module: TPM is it pre-enabled in all hp laptops

Sir,
i want to ask that is TPM pre enabled in Hp laptops or trusted platform module is pre-enabled in hp laptops or it is
disabled by deafult and we have to configure in most hp laptops.

Hi:
The only HP PC's that have a TPM module are business-class PC's.
No consumer PC's have that device.

Trusted Platform Module Reset

The password for my TPM is not working, or I forgot what it is. I like to think that it is not working. In the help file it says to enter BIOS to clear that information. After checking BIOS I don't see where to do that. I do see where to clear fingerprints and where to disable the TPM but not where to clear it. How do I reset or clear the Trusted Platform Module?
One other thing. I downgraded to XP Pro after having issues with Vista. The TPM password was set using Vista. Does this make a difference?

Keep on hitting the ESC key. You will see what looks like drivers loading etc.
When you see black xp screen hold the power button down.It takes a few seconds.
It does work.
I rebooted , got the windows did not shut down properly and choose default start normally.
CSS 8.1 only asked me for my windows password and then enrolled me.
My only question now is Do Ihave a TPM password and WHAT IS IT?
1) Shut down your thinkpad
2) Turn on your thinkpad and keep hitting the 'ESC' key until you see the windows boot screen
3) Hold down the power button to turn off the thinkpad.
NOTE: You MUST TURN THE MACHINE OFF....If you let it boot and then choose restart you will not get the option to clear the chip!
4)Turn on the thinkpad and press 'F1' to go into bios
5)Go to 'security' then 'IBM Security Chip'
6)Now there should be an additional option that will let you clear the embedded security chip.
7)Save and exit bios
8)Boot normally - you will get a screen saying the machine didn't shut down properly due to step 3 above.
Thats it. No need to get a new motherboard.
FYI: This worked for me on my Z60m machine.
My next challenge is what happened to my backups I made before uninstalling R and R 3.00 installing Rescue and Recovery 4..
My C:/ says that I am using 13 Gigs of space. This is just with the OS and ThinkVantage. I can see RRBackups when I enable hidden OS files. But is says that it is not accesable.What good are these backups if I can not use and they are sucking up space on an already small (36 gig not counting Recovery Partition.) Do I need to uninstall Rand R 4.1 to then delete them. Seems kinda lame.
Another way (and in my opinion a better way) to reveal the BIOS option to Clear Security Chip Encryption is to:
1.) Shutdown the computer
2.) Hold down F1 (while computer is off)
3.) Continue holding F1 and power on the computer.
4.) When the boot screen says that's in entering the bios, release the F1 key.
5.) Go under Security, Security Chip, and Choose to clear the encryption.
It is recommended that you uninstall Client Security Solutions (CSS) before following the above steps and then reinstalling CSS afterward. If you have a previously encrypted data I wouldn't recommend performing any of these steps as it will likely render those encrypted files unreadable afterward.
Hope this helps,
Enjoy,

Well, I guess that the new way is also working if I want to upgrade from XP to Vista - it seems that the old one is just working if you're using XP

Why don't Apple sell 2gb modules for MBP?

I'm confused, I tried to purchase a 2gb module from Apple this morning and they tell me they are not available, and they don't know why?
any ideas anyone?
I think I need a :
Form SO-DIMM (200-pin) Speed PC2-5300 - DDR2-667
Crucial are showing them, just wondering if there are any issues I should know about?

Actually the MBP does come with a dual-channel memory bandwidth if the SODIMMs are matched. This is one issue I for one will have to eat my words on!
It's specified in the Intel documentation for the 945PM chipset that's used in the MBP as well as in this Apple document…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303553
However, as you mention, the primary benefit of this is a much improved GPU performance for those systems with the GMA950 such as the MacBook and Mac mini where the imapct is between 6% and 9%.
Given Apple give this such a low priority, shown by how little it's mentioned for the MBP, the benefit probably isn't great. Let's facce it, there's only so much memory intensive operations you can do within 2GB without the bottlenecks of the processor or hard drive bandwidths getting in the way.

Consequences of clearing Trusted Platform Module

I've only just discovered this Forum and wish I had spotted it earlier as I tried to solve a conflict between Lenovo's Client Security System and Firefox 3 by upgrading CSS 8.0 to 8.2.
Problem is that this now raises another issue where I have to re-set the TPM chip before I can use the new version of CSS.
I can enter my Windows password and my old CSS security passphrase but have no idea of any password for the TPM chip.
I have read all of the other threads about this and now know how to do the BIOS reset but want reassurance that I will still be able to read my previous data after I re-set.
I'm not worried about passwords as I have a hard copy of these (I'm old-fashioned in that way) but my data is really precious.

According to this article Apple stopped putting TPM devices in their computers back in 2006:
http://www.osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter10/tpm/
Even when Apple did have TPM devices in their computers there were no drivers included in the operating system to use them.
I enabled the Windows Bitlocker encryption function in the Windows 7 partition I have on my MacBook Pro and Windows did not see any TPM device in the computer. This is a MacBook Pro less than 6 months old.

X131e Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Activate Enable

I've read in the documentation that the x131e has a TPM 1.2 module, however I don't see a way of activating it in the BIOS. How can I activate this in order to use BitLocker?
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
To turn on TPM, Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Run.
Type tpm.msc in the Open box, and then press ENTER.
If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue. The TPM Management console is displayed.
In the Actions pane, click Initialize TPM. The TPM Initialization Wizard is started.
If the TPM has never been turned on or is currently turned off, the TPM Initialization Wizard displays the Turn on the TPM Security Hardware page. If the TPM Initialization Wizard detects a BIOS that does not meet Windows requirements, you cannot continue with the wizard, and you will be alerted.
Click Shutdown (or Restart), and then follow the BIOS screen prompts.
After the computer restarts, but before you log on to Windows, you will be prompted to accept the reconfiguration of the TPM.
Once the TPM is initialized, go to TPM management console again and in the actions pane, turn on TPM.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Trusted Platform Module?

Does the TPM chip require Client Security Solution to work? BTW I'm not an expert with TPM. I know it is used to encrypt data in the HDD. Will it continue to encrypt even if I don't install the above ThinkVantage software?

Hi:
Only some business notebook and desktop PC's have a TPM.
You can easily check to see if your PC has one by going to the device manager and if there is a Security Devices category, click to expand that, and you will see the TPM listed the.
No security devices category= no TPM.

Is it possible to disable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) ?

I have a Thinkstation D20 and went into the BIOS and selected Inactive & Disabled for the TPM option. The strange thing is that it still shows up in the Device Manager as active and ready. No error messages that I can see.
Any ideas?

Apple Care and 1st generation MBP-Should you get it?

So, how many of you have got Apple Care?
I have a 1st generation MBP (I got one a few weeks after they came out).
Mine still has the whine, but I’m able to silence it with the mirror widget which I’ve been using for nearly a year. (I realize this can now be fixed, but I can’t send my computer off for repair for any length of time).
$349.00 for Apple Care is a lot of money—heck, these days you can buy a brand new PC laptop for this kind of money (albeit a bad one, but whatever).
I’m a little worried of having problems because my MBP is a first generation and it has had the problems we all have heard about on this forum (heat, whine, bad battery, warped lid, etc).
My thinking is, if I DON’T get Apple Care and I need to get my MBP fixed, and it costs MORE than $349, wouldn’t it just be worth it to get a new computer if it needs THAT kind of work? AND, who here thinks that there could possibly be a repair that would warrant $349?
How many of you people with 1st generation MBPs have had problems and actually utilized Apple Care? I know a lot of us are getting close to the ONE YEAR mark and need to make a decision if we’re going to thrown down $349 or not.
Just looking for good insight, knowledge, statistics and/or opinions on the subject to help make the best decision.
Thanks.

I went for the Apple Care contract on my original PB17" that I got in 2003 and was glad I did. I bought the contract, oh, about 8 months into the first year's warranty.
I never had super major problems with it, but everything little thing that happened made it worthwhile.
For example:
(1) I started hearing "clicks" coming from my hard drive about 18 months into ownership. Apple replaced the HD with no questions asked.
(2) I had some problems with the power adapter after about 2 1/2 years. Apple sent me a new one.
I don't know if it came to $300 worth of stuff or not, but it probably did in total. And it was reassuring.
I have a question about those extended credit card warranties though, since somebody mentioned it.
I bought my new MBP with a credit card that offers "one extra year on any product that is warrantied for three years or less".
I assume that means that I get two years now instead of 1 on my standard warranty.
But does that also mean I would get FOUR years instead of 3 if I go for the Apple Care warranty?
And how do those usually work? Like if I have to replace the LCD I shell out, what? A thousand dollars and the credit car company pays me back?
