ASP suggests alternative part, IBM says they're not compatible - who's right?
Hi there,
I've got T60p, recently fan has started to produce some loud noises. I took a look inside, carefully cleaned it up, but no change,I'm pretty sure the fun is just failing.
The laptop is in warranty, so no problem except I use it quite extensively and prefer the repair to be as quick as possible. I got in touch with an Authorized IBM Service Provider which was willing to replace fan in an hour time. That would mean no mailing hassle, no weeks long waiting, etc., just great!
But... (there're always buts?..)
The laptop type is 2007-8JG, according to the Hardware Maintenance Manual the fan part number is 41W6407. But the Service Provider claims it's not possible anymore to order the 41W6407 (because it's obsolete) and instead they are to order an alternative, compatible one (part number 41V9932).
I am aware that these numbers are important and tiny differences between parts could result in serious hardware problems. Especially when it comes to cooling systems... And that is why I do prefer to have the one listed in the manual.
I called IBM Technical Support, the agent was not able to answer the question straight, but promised to discuss it with the engineers and get back to me later. They called me back the same day and the official answer is 'though both parts are very similar they're not compatible'.
Would you believe the SP in such a situation? 'Instant' repair is a strong temptation...But on the other hand IBM is suppose to know better what's good for their laptops, right?.. So I tend not to believe the Service Provider...
Any advices?..

T60p, 2007-8JG - just amazing piece of engineering!
rmrmpl, welcome to the forum,
Having looked at the parts list you need the 41W6407. Other machines are listed against the 41V9932.
For whatever reason the fans are different; I would believe IBM.

had to restore my ipod, most apps have gone back on with no probs but three of them saying incompatible can anyone help please
Hi Skydiver119
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my problem.
Yes the purchases were made though my apple id.
I have looked at a few other questions on this topic and I have read that the app data is stored in the backup file but the apps themselves need to be synced back onto the ipad. Someome has mentioned right clicking on sync my ipad but I don't know where to find that to right click on!! Lol.
Again, I really appreciate your time and if by any chance you know where I can 'right click' I would really appreciate you letting me know as I can't get my ipad to sync with my pc at all, although it is being picked up in itunes and it has backed up to itunes okay. GGrrr. Maybe I have something wrong in the settings which is not making them compatible? -
I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher). Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable. Would prefer a laser, color, all in one. Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?
Great information.

Here is the How to import in itunes 11. Including the Join tracks option.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12278
Also if you have imported them then this article gives a good understanding of how to tag these songs
http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp
the other option would be to use an App like Audiobook Builder to stitch the tracks together in upto 12 hour long sections and sends to itunes automatically. It is available in the App Store. There are others available, Audiobook binder is free -

You're really posting in the wrong forum. you should be posting here ( https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_store ) Or calling apple support directly.

I paid early termination fee two months ago to Verizon and am now out of the country. Am trying to unlock the phone but the local guys say they are not able to. I see from the blog here that iPhone 5 comes unlocked. Is it true?? Do I still have to unlock. How do I go about it?
Thank you for reaching out to us, Texasman. Sad to see that
you have left the VZW family, but it is definitely awesome to be able to
travel! Regarding your iPhone 5, the phone is unlocked for international usage.
Just need an active local SIM card that is compatible with your iPhone. Your local provider
may need to configure some settings under Cellular, but it should pick up signal. Just in
case, make sure that Settings>Cellular>Roaming>Voice & Data are
active.

RSC says I have files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out
We are using RSC 3 to control RH7 projects. At the moment RSC says I have hundres of files checked out, but when I try to check them in it says they're not checked out. And then it says "No files were found to CheckIn." What could be causing this?
I tried refreshing and rebooting my (client) PC, and it didn't help.
Thanks.I am no pro at this product but when you look in source control, who does it say has those files checked out. Does that user match the credentials that you use to connect to source control. The only reason I ask this is, when I first set this up for my Publishers, I used the default admin account to connect to RSC. Then I created accounts for them and went to their workstations to change credentials. I changed the credentials but they had checked out some docs before that and could not check them back in because they were still checked out as admin. Had to change it back, have them check projects back in and then switch credentials. Hope this helps.

Im trying to get some purchased songs to sync onto my ipad, but when i try it says they could not be synced as i need to authorise my computer which has been done already but its still not syncing them can someone help please?
Hello there, Gemss.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for the issue you're describing:
iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1389
Although all of the scenarios may be applicable, many folks find that the following section helps resolve their issue most often:
Authorize using the correct account name
The items you're trying to play might have been purchased using a different iTunes Store account. To determine which account was used to purchase an item, follow these steps:
Select a purchased song in your library and choose File > Get Info.
Click the Summary tab. Note the Account Name that appears in the list. This is the account name (Apple ID) you'll need to use when authorizing your computer to play this purchase.
Note: The account name that appears is the one you used when purchasing the item and does not change if the account name (Apple ID) changes.
If you've authorized the Apple ID that is shown in the Summary tab, you can check the purchase history for that Apple ID from Store > View My Account. If your purchase history does not reflect the purchase of the items in your iTunes library, consider any other Apple ID you may have created, and authorize the computer for your additional Apple ID.
If you forgot the password to one of your accounts, you can recover it using Apple's password-recovery website.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -

I used the digital download from my purchased Blu-Rays and they will not sync with either my iPad or iPhone 4, saying they did not transfer because I am not authorized on this computer. I tried de-authorizing and re-authorized my MacBook Pro alreadydigial
I just got a Touch 32GB yesterday and ran into the same problem. I have two PCs in the house that I can sync my iPods on, but I normally use one that DOESN'T have an internet connection, so that the one that does is free for others to use ... a great argument and tension solution, btw.
Anyway, I hooked up the older "iTunes" PC to the net for a first-time sync with the Touch, and ran into this problem. First it kept detecting the Touch as an unidentified iPhone, then I couldn't sync my classic either. Then I found a post here about how when multiple USB ports running off same USB controller seem to screw with the Touch/iPhone syncing.
So I disconnected all but 2 of my USB 2.0 slots (the Touch & the Portable HD with my iTunes Library) and now it's working perfectly. I don't know if this will solve your problem, but it might be worth a try. -
FF14.5 says it's not compatible with the Kaersky virtual keyboard and the URL adviser. I think the URL adviser is part of the anti virus. I have chose to stay with 12.0 because of these notices?
thanks.There is no Firefox 14.5, I'm assuming you mean Firefox 14.0.1?
As to your question, you should always update your Firefox, as it fixes security holes that can leave you and your data at risk. As to the Kapersky, you should be able to update firefox, then update Kapersky and your Kapersky add-ons will work. I should mention though that the Kapersky add-ons are not part of your actual anti-virus protection, and do little to nothing to protect you. Even if they are disabled your anti-virus application still runs just fine and you are still protected from threats. You should update to Firefox 14.0.1 (and subsequent releases) as soon as possible. -
As soon as I downloaded Firefox 4, my Roboform no longer worked. Roboform says it's not compatible so they want me to buy an update from them...don't want to do that. How can I download Firefox 3 again?
What you are seeing sounds like the "advertised update" from Firefox 3.6 versions to Firefox 8.0.1 that started on 2011-12-01. See --> https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/Firefox_3.6_MU
This is the same as has occurred when prior versions were nearing their end-of-life. Support for Firefox 3.6 versions is likely to end in the first quarter of 2012.
There are changes in the interface from Firefox 3.6 to Firefox 4 and newer versions. See --> https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-updating-firefox
The new Firefox version can be made to closely resemble the 3.6 Firefox interface.

The only currently supported versions are 3.6.24 and 8.0.1. Firefox 9.0 will be released on or about 2011-12-20 and will completely replace Firefox 8.0.1; an update to Firefox 3.6.25 from Firefox 3.6.24 will likely occur around that same time to correct any new security/stability issues found in Firefox 3.6.24.

Can I force iTunes to sync a video even if it says it's not compatible?
I have a video podcast where iTunes refuses to sync some of the videos even though I know they are compatible. When I stream them on my iPod touch from the iTunes store, they play. When I download them directly to my iPod, they play. When I sync my iPod, the videos are removed and iTunes says they aren't compatible with this iPod. Can I force iTunes to sync the videos? Are there other ways to fix this?
Yes, but the issue is the IP address. If you have a static IP from your ISP it is easy.. Or if you use another router with dyndns it is easy.. but Apple make it exclusive to their network so you can have loads of issues without a computer to function as a client for dns.
Look up remote Time Capsule access .. there is plenty of info out there.
