Bugs in the latest ThinkVantage Productivity Center update

Hi,
last Friday I updated the Thinkvantage software on my T61 (WinXP). Beside fixing some problems it brought me new ones.
Foremost, now, as soon as I set my machine into the Lenovo Portreplicator (docking station), it simply goes POWER OFF. No message, no shut down, no nothing, just instant off.
In addition th power management software does not work anymore.
Trying to revert to the old SW version did not work.
Is this a know bug? what can I do?
regards
Florian

Bugs? There's bugs in every bit of software written from day one except possibly the one-liner thing that types out, "Hello world." That's why I wait a week or two after an update comes out, to let the dust settle and also review if it is something I really need. I haven't decided I actually need an iTunes update since iTunes 7.5.
After updating did you repair permissions? Did you verify your hard drive and repair permissions before updating? Many "bugs" aren't really bugs but how a change suddenly makes something that is a budding issue on a computer (and each person has a unique configuration) suddenly come to the surface.

Is there a bug in the latest iOS7 operating system update

is there a bug in the latest iOS7 operating system update

iOS 7 and System 7 are not the same. System 7 refers to the operating system on Macs from 1991 to 1996.

Mac: 3 bugs in the latest PR-CC2014 update...

OK,
so there are 3 bugs in the latest update.
I lose my active sequences on my timeline when I save, close and re-open projects
I lost the visual update of "bezier curve handles" on opacity envelopes on video and audio transitions: they appear straight as in normal "slopes" (no curve)
I lose audio preview when I render a test segment and preview in the finder outside of Premiere. finder audio is fine, but switching back to Premiere, it's gone
all for now.

When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Additional you can try the following (if Ron_9972 is finished with his steps):
Deactivate anti virus program (select "activate manual", if possible)
Start - Programs - Accessory -System programs - Systemrecovery (i hope it is right translated from german)
Select "restore a restorepoint" and select the last date, where it worked.

ThinkVantage Productivity Center T42 vs.X40

On my X40, the ThinkVantage Productivity Center allows you to update all Thinkpad software automatically. This option is not available on the T42. Does anyone have an idea of why? This is a very usefull function as it allows you to be sure that you have the latest version of all available software for your computer

ThinkVantage Productivity Center will not open - T61, Windows XP

I cannot get the ThinkVantage Productivity Center to open; specifically Rescue and Recovery.
It has worked in the past and I have no idea what changed. Windows updates are automatically installed onto my computer. It appears that the relevant proceses are running (rrservice.exe and rrpservice.exe).
Is anyone aware of what could be causing this issue?

I have the same problem like you, the Productivity Center does not work and the Rescue and Recovery User interface does not appear while I check in Task Manager, it is running, but for a while, it disapears too. I don't know why, the Rescue and Recovery User Interface have worked before and now it has error. Is there anyone face with this problem, please help me fix this. Thanks.

Thinkvantage Productivity Center not working! 8^(

The Thinkvantage Productivity Center software on my T61 model 7658 CTO starts and then locks up. So I cannot control the wireless.
This all started after I updated the Lenovo software. It was caused by a Lenovo update.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
If it cannot be fixed is their a way to disable it and return control of the wireless connections to Windows XP?
Thanks for your help.
Solved!

Is the latest ThinkVantage System Update safe to use?

I just reinstalled the factory version of XP onto my T60. Then I downloaded and ran the latest ThinkVantage System Update, and there were maybe 20 or 30 updates that I can install. Some of those updates require you to uninstall your current version, and others need to be installed in a certain order. Can TVSU handle all that, or should I try to install the updates manually? Someone was saying that an older version of TVSU doesn't install things in the correct order.

If I were you I would install the latest version of system update first and then run it to install available packages.

ThinkVantage Productivity Center - Display menu

Hi, I have a thinkpad T500 and have recently noticed that the ThinkVantage Productivity
Center's display menu doesn't seem to work in that when pressed nothing happens and
a sub-application is not involved as one would expect.
In detail,
- start-up the ThinkVantage Productivity Center (or press the blue button)
- select the 'Device Configuration' item in the "Resouce Center"
- select the 'Select display settings'
and wham nothing happens. So my question is the following, what _is_ supposed to
happen and which ThinkVantage application am I missing to remedy this issue. A friend
had told me, over the phone, that I'm supposed to see screen/LCD settings along with
on-screen-display options, etc.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Your friend is correct.
"Choose Presentation or Display Screen" (also known as "Choose Display Scheme menu") is supposed to appear.
I don't konw why it does not work in your case, however.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please.

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.

Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer...

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) from the App store. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Printing via Airport.

Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.

The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again.
