Can anyone of you who own a Thinkpad R61 Share your experience?

I Just get a Thinkpad R61, and it freeze on Windows Vista 3 time out of 6 boots, and it is making a high pitch noise. I do a few test with it before I return to the dealer for replacement. I didn't even bother to install Linux on it because if it is a hardware problem, it would be waste of time, and might get reject for replacement --.--!
Here is what I get:
I try it with xubuntu 8.04, (the closest Live CD I can get). The high pitch sound still occurs, however, everything else seem working fine. NO freeze, no nothing.
I boot up into Windows Vista safe mode with network(wifi). Everything work fine and no high pitch noise. I would be really happen if it stay like this every time I boot my system.
I took the laptop apart in to a point where wouldn't effect the warranty and boot my system into both normal and safe mode with network. The Fan is not moving, the CD-rom is not moving, and the HHD is moving however not the one who make the noise.
I do a CLI ram test, and doing the whole thing, no high pitch noise is made.
At last the most making sense test, put my ear right in front of the speaker, and none of them are making any sense. in fact, I hear less noise when I do that.
So clearly, sense many people say it is one of the most silent and coolest laptop ever make in the Thinkpad R series. The high pitch noise is not one of the feature I offer. And Sense this noise is not make by any move part, The only two possibility is the audio chip or the graphic chip. It can't be any of the moving part because they also work under safe mode which make no high pitch noise. And it is not the CPU, RAM, or Battery making the Noise, sense they work the same under safe mode, and CLI mode. The only thing that is power up that is not power up in safe mode or CLI mode are the Sound chip, and the Graphic acceleration. Sense I can't really take those thing apart without avoid the warranty. I don't really know which of the one is making that high pitch noise. You might think I am crazy to think that non movie part is making noise, but it is true. Any that is my story. hehe
I hear all over the place that Thinkpad are great laptop, but it really doesn't give me a good first impression. So How's your experience with your Thinkpad R61?

Some Thinkpads are known for high pitch noises, with many newer models it seems to be related to running on battery. See here for details. I have this problem on my T61, but as I have it plugged in most of the time I didn't really care. I had problems with the preinstalled vista as well, no freezes, but I couldn't get wireless to work. Apart from that, I'm really happy with the laptop, the build quality is just great, it has this rock solid feeling to it and it works like a charm with Arch. The pre installed windows was clearly below my expectations, but I'd buy this machine again any time.

.ME Calendar and iPhone Sharing - Can Anyone Send You A Calendar Event Req?

Hello All,
I have a quick question for the forum? I am looking to get an iPhone and using .ME services.
My question is with - Calendar. Can anyone send me a meeting request or other calendar events?
For example, my wife needs to make sure I know about an appointment, is there a way she can send me the appointment request?
I would love to get my wife a phone also, that way we can have calendars to help keep us in touch of things to come....kids kind of have a way of keeping you busy....
Would we setup a central shared calendar on .ME and make the appointments there and then add us to the appointment so it would send the request to both of us?
Will you be able to access more then one calendar on the iPhone?
Sorry if this has been asked before, just trying to find a nice to keep thing little more organized in a somewhat chaos day..
Thanks...

David,
I would love to hear any responses you get to this. David Rock in his book Quiet Leadership says that the human brain can only retain 7 things in the active short term memory at one time. Ergo, the need for things like Outlook Calendars. But I find it frustrating that I cannot send my wife a calendar invite so that she knows when I have certain obligations or meetings.
Kindly,
Dave Han

Can you please share your experience in implementing / upgrading the Primavera EPPM R8.3?

Hi,
In our company various versions (V7, R8.1 and R8.3) of Primavera being used in various locations. To bring all the location to a common platform, management has decided to implement / upgrade Primavera EPPM P6 R8.3 and also planned to integrate Primavera P6 R8.3 EPPM with Oracle (EBS) Projects application . Hence, If any of you implemented Primavera P6 EPPM R8.3 or upgraded the earlier versions to Primavera P6 R8.3. Please share your ideas and also the pros and cons of implementing R 8.3 EPPM. For your information we are going to have SQL database since all the existing databases are in SQL.
Please share your ideas and experiences.

Hi,
we have done a lot of implementations and migrations to the P6 EPPM R8.3 from different former versions and this is working fine. the dbsetup does a good job.
A good way in my point of view is to set up a new P6 EPPM R8.3 system with a new PMDB Instance which will keep the configurations so that you easily can migrate or exchange the instances. Always remind to have a validated backup of any instance before migrating.
Before migration you should mind the following points:
The source version of the old P6 PMDB instance is:
P6.2.1 or before => first you need to migrate it to P6 V7.0 before you can migrate it to P6 R8.3
P6 V7.0 => check if you have used P6 WebAccess: if not okay, else check if you used jackrabbit (look for migration tool), Workflows (close all before migrating); Check if using Jobservice XER-Export (no longer available); Jobservice Batchreport (only Workaround available see Knowledgebase); Risks in the P6 Client (need to be manually migrated)
P6 R8.0 to R8.2 => Using Extended Schema, Enterprise Reporting Database, own BI Publisher Reports => Check stept to be taken for migration
Other questions are:
Which authentication method will you use (native, LDAP, SSO)? If not using native and you want to connect the BI Publisher then you need also to use that authentication there.
The migration itself is pretty easy if you take care that all sessions are closed (no users or unclosed primavera sessions settings on that instance, stop all Applications, interfaces or Services connected to the instance. Cleanup your refrdel_deletes, logical_deletes and (if used before), extended Schema tables.
Then you can migrate with dbsetup, use additional Service Packs and Fixpacks (actually Service Pack 1) on the instances and then you can connect them into the environment by adding it to the P6 Configuration.
I mentioned you don't want to put all data into one final PMDB-Instance.
Regards,
Daniel

Can iTunes show you which video content will play on your mobile device before you sync?

I believe a previous version on iTunes had this functionality. Now you have to go through the entire sync process before you know the video can not play on your device. Also, can you batch convert all your videos to play on a cross platform of devices, e.g. iPod, iPhone, Apple TV 2, iPad?

How can each child have their own ipod touch and share my current library yet have their own sign in??

I recently purchased and ipod touch for each of my children. I logged onto itunes set up my son's and now when I tested and he sends me a message from his ipod to my iphone it comes through with my name? I understand I used my apple ID but how can I share my library of music with them, but when they use their devices their names will appear and not mine.
Maybe I am missing something here but I could really use some help. I have 1 more to set up.

After hours of research and trial I think I can help you. You need to get each of your kids an email address (I use zoobuh) and then set them up with an Apple ID. Once they have an apple ID you will go into Settings. For Messages and FaceTime you will need to change the ID to their instead of yours..... I think I had to turn them "off" and then back on again.
Hope this helps!

ThinkPad X131e - please share your experiences

Hello,
I am located in Germany and I tried to order ThinkPad X131e from the Lenovo Shop, but believe it or not: the online store cannot process the order. For Lenovo this should be a cause for embarrassment.
I think that ThinkPad X131e is just the kind of machine I have been looking for. But I have had a hard time finding a
single review of ThinkPad X131e online.
I was therefore wondering if those who have purchased this item could share their impressions and experiences.
Regards,
Novalis

It looks like it's unchanged from the X130e aside from the internals, which are barely an upgrade.
Either way, my x130e is built like a tank and performs on par for a netbook.
You can literally throw it at a brick wall and barely harm it.
The touchpad is pretty horrible though.

Understanding Passwords and how Acer can help when you run into issues.

A quick search on the community shows many issues related to forgotten or missing passwords. It’s clearly an issue all of us have experienced at some point in time with varying degrees of importance and frustration. In this article, I’ll provide a high level overview of common password types, what you can do to secure your password, and what Acer can do if you’re not able to get into your system. In this article we’ll discuss three types of passwords;
Hardware Passwords (BIOS and HDD Passwords)
Operating System (OS) Passwords (for Windows, Android, etc..)
Web and Application Passwords (Email, Instant Messenger, etc..)
Hardware Passwords
For the most part there are two types of hardware passwords that can be created on Acer products: A BIOS password, and a Hard Disk Drive (HDD) password. These passwords add an additional level of security before a user is allowed to load the operating system. These passwords can also be a liability due to the fact that if the owner forgets his or her password, the machine will not boot up and there are very few if no options available from the end user side to reset them.
When to use a BIOS or HDD Password? – I personally do not suggest using these passwords unless you have a specific function that requires them, such as a business machine that may be accessed by someone not involved with the business.
What can Acer do if I’ve lost or forgotten my BIOS or HDD password? – Acer has tools and procedures available to remove and reset these passwords. This process is only used within an authorized Acer repair facility. Contact your local Acer Service team to inquire about pricing and service options.
Operating System Passwords
An OS password is a password tied to an account used to access the operating system. The account is what you use to store settings and maintain some private data. These passwords have typically been stored locally but with the release of Windows 8, you can now use your Microsoft account to access your computer. This would allow you to change or reset your password from another machine.
When to use an Operating System Password? – An OS password is a great tool for anyone who shares a computer with others, and wants their own settings and configuration without having to share personal data.
What can Acer do if I’ve lost or forgotten my Operating System password? – Proactively, Acer provides you with all of the tools you’ll need. For pre-Windows 8 units, we have articles on how to create a password recovery disk (http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6770 ). If you don’t have access to this tool and cannot access your system, Acer will recommend using the recovery options to restore the system (this will erase all data, so there are consequences). You can use Recovery Disks (http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/12866) you would have made previously, or attempt to reload the machine before Windows loads (http://acer.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2631). For Windows 8 units, a Microsoft account can be reset by using another computer and visiting http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/forgot-windows-password.
Web and Application Passwords
Passwords used on the Web or other Applications such as email, instant messaging, Facebook, Twitter or online services are controlled by the company that provides the software or web interface. These providers have lost password features that will help you retrieve or reset your password. Acer cannot provide any assistance with this process.
What can you do to secure your passwords?
I suggest everyone takes some time to learn more about passwords; a quick Google search for “a guide to secure passwords” provides numerous articles on how to create strong passwords and even some tricks to help your remember them. While I don’t recommend any one method, using what you feel is the best information from these resources, combined with others, will help you be secure.
Another tool that is very useful is a password manager (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_manager). These help organize and maintain all of your passwords with one master password. The downside to this if you lose your master password it can cause issues for multiple services, so use it wisely.

Brad.On Passwords.Does this mean, for Windows 7, that we need to leave our admin (Control Panel\User Accounts and Family Safety\User Accounts) password out when doing a complete restore back to factory, as well as our personal bios password? On the same line, our eRecovery Password, when to keep it in and when to take it out? I have noticed after a complete restore, that although my password is in everywhere else, under power options, to put a password in when yourcomputer awakes is left blank, that is my computers default power option setting, so I am prompted to change my password under user accounts.. Very confusing, please verify.Thanks.

EXPDP tablespace and IMPDP tablespace - who owns the tablespace data?

Hi Gurus
Sorry - new to this. Thank you for replies in advance.
10.2.0.3 - Windows 2003. Done some googling but not got the answer.
Have been asked by developer to export multiple tablespaces (on one server) into a new database (on another server) but import into just one tablespace.
Unable to use transportable tablespaces because software owner says it doesn't work.
However, developer says can use data-pump in 10g to do this.
Have created the same repository on both databases under the system account and same path name on both servers.
Have used expdp system/password tablespace=(tablespace_name1, tablespace_name2, etc) to create the dmp file and copied it over to the new database server.
Now about to import it into the new database into just one tablespace.
If I export all the multiple tablespaces and then import them into the one tablespace - under the system account - how does Oracle work out who owns the tables in the tablespace?
The tables, themselves, are owned by multiple owners (not all these users are created in the new database as the developer's ultimate idea is that it is only one new schema is created for the multiple tablespace data).
Before doing it I wonder - even though I've specified no schema etc - seems to me that system owns this data and all the data in the tablespace if I do import it successfully using remap tablespace=source: new tablespace.
I saw the system tablespace increase (thought it would but not what is desired, I'm guessing as I can't identify it clearly when looking - so it maybe there unnecessarily forever.
Seems to me I've put stuff into my system tablespace that will be there forever (unless I do something about it) on database1.
But if I impdp to database2 to new tablespace - under the system owner - then it will still be in the system tablespace and still owned by the system schema.
Is this correct thinking?
Should I create the old owners of the schemas in order for the impdp to succeed?
And if correct - is it possible to then allocate those tables in that tablespace to a new schema owner - and is there a way to do it at the time of import or do I have to then do some clever magical guru stuff to change it?
Thanks Gurus.
Please ask questions if I've not made myself clear.
Thanks again.

Thank you Guru for your reply.
No, I am not trying to create the same database elsewhere.
I am definitely not trying to not create a clone.
I would like to understand that, as I have a dmp file created for multiple tablespaces via expdp - under the system user - as I now want to dmp that file under one user - and can do via impdp - who owns the data - and if I have transferred via system user - is it the system user who owns the data in the tablespace now - or can I transfer it to a new named user?
Thanks Gurus.

Can anyone explain how data is stored from Oracle GL Summary Accounts?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum but I wasn't sure which one was more appropriate....
Basically I would like to know what Oracle does in the background with summary accounts for it to slow down the period close process. I have been told it's because Oracle applies summary balances to (temporary?) tables, which means Oracle GL is multiplying the number of processes it has to run when you close a period.
Can anyone provide any further info on this?
Thanks

My battery on my ipod touch keeps draining. i have updated in itunes and turned off wifi....can anyone help??

My battery life on my ipod touch used to last for days if i wasnt using it. I have updated from itunes recently and my battery is draining in hours. i have switched off wifi and this has not helped. i also turned off notifications as well. can anyone help

Did you already reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?
Also try to delete the mail account in case you're using push/fetch to get your mail. There have been cases in which mail didn't stop connecting to the server, causing the battery drain.

Can anyone please explain these error messages to me?

Hi,can anyone of you be so kind to explain these warnings during an upgrade to me?
Thanks.
