hi.
i've seen a number of reports of tvsu having issues. some resolve themselves as server-side inconsistencies get cleared up. others require client-side work, like reinstalling tvsu, etc. i don't have a list in front of me right now of the things, besides reinstalling tvsu, that you can try on your side. sorry...
if getting these drivers installed is a time-critical matter, you can get whatever you need from the driver matrix. here's the link:

in case you didn't already have it.
hth a bit.

Does ThinkVantage System Update 5.06 work on B540 AIO?

Can someone clarify if ThinkVantage System Update 5.06 can be used on the Ideacenter B540 AIO? Says in the ReadMe txt file that it supports Lenovo V/B/K/E Series. Thanks for any help.
Solved!

Thanks for the quick reply. Guess I have to use Device Manager to update drivers, etc. BTW the Warranty Info and Support & Download links for my country (http://www.lenovo.com/contact/sg/en/index.shtml) do not work. Think all support here is outsourced, which is why I'm grateful for this forum.

Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

HT1222 My iPhone 5 keeps saying I don't have enough storage to update software even though I just purchased 15GB of storage. Can anybody please explain this to me? I'm really not tech savvy AT ALL so I don't have a clue what to do :(

My iPhone keeps telling me I don't have enough space to update my software. But I just bought 15GB of storage, of which 11.7GB is free! So I don't understand. Can anybody please help me? I'm really bad with technology so I don't have a clue.

Hi Caroline,
The storage issue you are having is not related to iCloud. The error is telling you that you do not have enough room on your device itself. You need to go to Settings>General>Usage, and under the Storage section at the top, it lists all of your apps and other things taking up room on your device.
You will have to delete or reduce the size of items on this list in order to free up some room for your update.
Also, you may want to try the update by hooking up your device to iTunes on the computer you sync with. It does not require as much free memory to update via iTunes as it does OTA.
Cheers,

New X301 --- Can't run ThinkVantage System Update.

Argh. Trying to run System Update on brand new X301 and the process freezes at 34% completed, with no bytes downloaded. Looks like it is still at the GET NEW UPDATES stage --- but it has been sitting there for 40 minutes. This has now happened twice and system is only 2 hours old. Help help.
Solved!

System Update also worked fine this morning (following a reboot). It froze at 34% multiple times last night and then uploaded everything perfectly this morning. Go figure. Moral of the story is that one should probably always reboot before posting a problem to the forums.

ThinkVantage System Update - "There are no applicable packages found for your system"

QuestionWhen running TVSU, I am getting a system notification of "There are no applicable packages found for your system"
AnswerThis issue has occured at various times, and may more commonly occur when TVSU updates itself. At the time this article was originally written, the symptom was noted by some customers after updating from version 4.01.0010.
After updating System Update, if no packages are found for your system, please try the following to uninstall and manually reinstall the current version of system update.
Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Programs and Features
Select System Update
Click Uninstall
Reboot
Download latest version of ThinkVantage System Update
Install it and reboot
Run ThinkVantage System Update and the list of updated drives will now populate correctly.

There are a few comments here that have come in over 3 years...
1) Please update to the latest version of TVSU appropriate for your version of operating system. TVSU should update itself, but please check the reported version when TVSU starts up against the most recent version available to download on support.lenovo.com. Uninstall, download the newer version, and re-install if it does not auto update and you have confirmed a newer version.
2) From time to time, there are issues with the TVSU catalog and updates may not be reported as available for a specific system. Lenovo software teams do their best to ensure the update catalog is current for all supported models, but in the event that you find no updates for your system and believe this is in error, please manually check several of the principle driver versions in device manager and compare with the versions available for manual download on the support site for your model. If later versions of drivers and BIOS are available on the support site, but not made available through TVSU, then use this feedback link to notify the e-support team so they may investigate.
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/websitefeedback
3) If you have recently changed the system board in your system, or service has changed the board, and TVSU can no longer find updates, or reports an error detecting your system, please reboot and press F1 to enter BIOS. (Note, you may need to shut and restart to enter BIOS). In BIOS, check that the system model type and serial number are correctly displayed. These should match the type and serial numbers on the sticker on the bottom of your system. TVSU identifies correct updates by checking these values in BIOS. When a system board is replaced, there is a service proceedure to update the type and serial number values in BIOS to match that of the new system. If these are shown as blank, this was not performed, and is the reason TVSU is not detecting updates. Please contact Lenovo service if this is the case.

Wireless connection not working after installed newest Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update programs

Hi, everyone!
I've installed some newest programs through Lenovo ThinkVantage System Update and just after that my wireless connection has stopped working. Here are the installed programs:
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver for Windows 32-bit version 15.0.24.0;
ThinkPad Power Management Driver version 1.60;
ThinkPad Modem Adapter version 7.80.8.0;
ThinkPad Hotkey Features Integration Package Setup version 3.11.0001;
Inter Wireless WiFi Link for Window XP version 13.02.0000;
ThinkVantage Access Connections for Windows XP version 5.62;
ThinkPad Power Manager version 1.88;
Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox (32-bit) version 6.0.5514.61.
I've got a Lenovo T61 with Windows XP SP3.
Also in Device Manager, there are now the two "Other devices" bellow with a yellow question point and a yellow exclamation point by side:
Bluetooth Hands-free Audio;
Bluetooth LAN Access Server Driver.
Does anyone have any idea what can be done to have these issues solved?
P.S.: when I click Fn+F5 it shows only the Bluetooth Radio.

Hello and welcome,
I've seen something like this on XP machines after updates a couple of times now - my T61, a friend's T400, and his daughter's T61. I guess that makes 3
_Maybe_ your situation is the same.
The fix in all 3 cases was to go to device manager and uninstall the wifi driver. Then scan for hardware changes and let it reinstall the driver. Something about how Access Connections or some other networking mangement thingy was hooking the drivers I guess.
On both of the friend's machines, the wired networking was also b0rked. Same fix there.

I'm getting the same error. I tried reinstalling system updater but it didn't help.

[T61p] ThinkVantage System Update has encountered a problem and needs to close....

Start System Updater and almost immediately (at 3% progress) get:
ThinkVantage System Update has encountered a problem and needs to close....
and it just won't run. All I can do is hit close.
I've removed it from the system, rebooted, cleaned the registry, rebooted,
reinstalled, rebooted and it just continually does this.
The system is totally up to date with Windows XP Pro SP3.
ThinkPad T61p
Mod 6459
Microsoft .NET Framewok 2.0 Ver: 2.1.21022
Any pointers? I'm about ready to drop-kick this thing for distance....
I did a search on it but nothing I saw seemed to fit what I'm seeing

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Is this your machine or the company's? Machines that came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed come with system and software install disks that can be used to reisntall the iApps that came with the machine orignally.
If this is your machine and it came with Snow Leopard or earlier installed the disk will look slimialr to one of these:
If it is the company's machine see if they have the disks.
Do a custom install and then use Software Update to update iPhoto to the highest version that is available.

Thinkvantage System Update Hot fix 1 did not install (v 1)

hi
This patch is pending on my thinkvantage system update software but it repeately fails to install,( I have even reinstalled Thinkvantage update software as well). Can some one please let me know of a workaround or a manual way to install the patch or even get the patch from the Lenovo site.
I have vantage system update Version: 3.14.0024 and Build date: 2009-6-12 on XP SP3.

Same issue for me (T41, Win XP SP3), Hotfix for System Update does not install.
I assume this hotfix should fix the issue that system update offers to install a hotkey package with a lower version number than the actual one installed ...
Best regards, Max

ThinkVantage System Update fails

Hi
I have a T61p with XP Pro. I am not able to get any system updates for my machine through ThinkVantage System Update. It says "An error occured while gathering user information." and then it fails. I have no idea why it would say that. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
this might have multiple reasons, why this error is present. Here are only few, that I can think of:
- registry entries with the MTM of your system information was changed, or is not present
- the local TVSU repository was changed/damaged and therefore cannot read the the system info and the proces list correctly
In your situation I would do following:
- uninstall TVSU using Add/REmove programs
* reboot the machine
- go to %ProgramFiles%\Lenovo and make sure, that there is no folder called "System Update". If it exists, then delete it completely
- go to registry:HKLM\Software\Lenovo and also make sure, that there is no key called "System Update". If it exists, then delete it
- download an install the latest TVUS from lenovo. com
* reboot the machine
- test TVSU
I assume, this should help as the error, that you are getting seems to be a system exception issue, where the applicaiton cannot reaco appropriately due to missconfiguration.
However, with the above steps, this should be fixed.
Anyway, please test it and let me know the results.
Cheers

Hi scottiecargo, welcome to the forum,
hate to disappoint you, but server OSes were never supported in SystemUpdate and neither IBM or Lenovo ever released drivers for server OSes for any ThinkPads.
I know some people have installed server OSes on ThinkPads, searching here and at http://forum.thinkpads.com/ might produce some driver ideas for you.
Good luck
