Can't start ThinkPad from fingerprint reader

on my s540, windows 7, although I think all settings are correct: http://screencast.com/t/PaEDecYT1vrn - I cannot login with the fingerprint (error message: your fingerprints have not been enrolled).
did I miss a setting? has the fingerprint manager no other options, than to authenticate the fingers? no menus at all?

Hi,
ISTR that this feature isn't available any more.  Something about Apple buying the reader manufacturer - and their patents - and refusing to supply the rest of the industry.  Readers available to Lenovo just can't do a power on.
Is T440s unable to power up with the fingerprint reader anymore?

  • "No attempts to start the service" fingerprint reader error caused by Camera Mute service.

    Since installing the latest Thinkvantage Fingerprint Reader update I've been having the problem that my system stalls at the login screen with the error:
    No attempts to start the service have been made since the last boot.
    After about 30 seconds the problem goes away and I can log on using the fingerprint reader as normal.
    I tried turning off all my start-up services in msconfig.exe and turning them on one by one, and discovered that for some reason the Lenovo Camera Mute service is the one causing the problem. As long as that service is set to not start at boot, I don't have the problem with the fingerprint reader at logon.
    Odd. I thought someone else might find that information useful.
    I have a Lenovo Thinkpad W530 with Windows 7 Pro.
    Solved!

    Do you have "RapidBoot Shield" software installed on your computer?  If so, would you please try uninstalling it and see if you still have this problem?  RapidBoot Shield is known to cause all kinds of startup problems like this.

  • [Solved] Can't start GParted from XFCE menu

    Hi,
    I have polkit installed but I can't start GParted from the XFCE menu. Do I need to edit any configuration files to make this work? The wiki isn't very clear about what to do after installing polkit. Thanks.

    In my Xfce4 installation, it's /usr/share/applications/GParted, which I copied over to ~/.local/share/applications/, as kaixi suggested, and it appeared there as gparted.desktop.  Right-click for Properties > Launcher > Command, and in that field (not wanting to install gksu) I put sudo gparted, which works, thanks.

  • Can not delete files from Adobe reader

    Can you let us know a little more about what you are trying to do? Adobe Reader opens pdf files but does not store them so, there's nothing to delete.

  • HT1338 If I have OS 7.5 installed on an external drive, can I start up from the external drive in that OS when my macbook pro is 10.7?

    If I have OS 10.6 installed on an external drive, can I start up from the external drive if I have 10.7 installed on my macbook pro?

    Provided that the MBP supports booting from that version of 10.6, and the install was from a retail disk (not a different Mac model), then yes. If it's a newer Pro that came with Lion, it may not boot to 10.6.

  • Can't start up from Install disk

    I'm using a MacBook purchased 3/07. System 10.4.11
    I can't start up from the Install Disk for Leopard. I only get a screen with the apple logo and the spinning thing. I wait 10 minutes. Nothing happens. I've tried both using the Disk for the start up and clicking on Install icons but when it shuts down to restart....nothing.
    Can anyone help me?
    Thanks. Lois

    Hi Josef,
    I left it on for over an hour and nothing happened. Finally called Apple and after an hour and a half of all kinds of testing, restarts, zapping and I don't know what else, the nice man there talked to his supervisor and then had me test the hardware (hold down D when starting). Turns out there is a problem with my ram so now I have to take it to a local technician and if he can't fix it, it'll have to go back to Apple for repairs. Ho hum. I just hope it finally gets working to make all this worthwhile.
    Thanks again for your interest and help.

  • Electric Shock from Fingerprint reader on T61

    Can anyone help me, why i got an electric shock when my hand touch the fingerprint reader? especially when my hand is sweat?
    shouldnt there be a protective system for that?
    my hand usually get sweat when im working more than 15minutes.
    it also come out from any metal that on my T61.such as the 1394 and USB.
    i tried to unplug the cord, and running on battery, but its still the same.
    can anyone help? its really annoying that i have to avoid the fingerprint reader everytime i type.
    thanks!

    The cause for electric shocks from the body/exposed metal like notebooks and other appliances can often be traced back to faulty wiring (lack of proper earth/ground) in the electric mains.
    It seems you have already ruled that out by plugging out from the mains, and then checked if the electric shocks persist.
    Try this again, If shocks persist, get to Lenovo service, otherwise a call to your electrician is in offing.

  • Can't print PDFs from Adobe Reader 7!

    A few months ago I started having problems printing from Adobe Reader 7.
    I can view PDFs fine. I can also view PDFs online through Safari with the Adobe Reader plug in.
    What I've resorted to doing is using Preview to open PDFs that I've saved from Adobe Reader, and I can print fine through Preview.
    But that isn't quite a good fix for me!
    I can also print documents in other formats from plenty of other applications, so I know it's not a printer-talking-to-Mac issue.
    What happens is this - I have a PDF open in Adobe and send it to print. The printer comes up in the dock like its working. After an appropriate amount of time (the time one would expect the document to print), it disappears from the dock as though it is done printing. But no document ever prints. And the printer never displays that it is receiving information to print.
    Yesterday I spent a good chunk of time working on this problem to no avail.
    I ran "detect and repair" in Adobe Reader but no problems were found.
    I threw away Adobe Reader 7 (I think I was up to 7.0.7) and its preferences and other files and downloaded and installed Reader 6. I still couldn't print from Reader.
    I installed patches and updates incrementally to from Reader 6 to 7.0.5 by allowing Reader to update itself, but that didn't help.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled the printer. That didn't fix the problem.
    I tried printing the document through Reader as an "image," but it just crashed the Reader.
    I also downloaded and ran "Printer Setup Repair" (something I saw suggested in someone else's post about an Adobe print problem) but that didn't help matters either.
    I'm sort of stumped. I'll also post this to the Adobe forums, but from what I've seen the folks over there are not really Mac users.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Cheers!

    Ann,
    A few more thoughts or your dilemma...You might try looking at your system.log with the utility Console to see if it might give you a clue to the problem. (Not that I understand all the stuff in those logs, but when MS Word and Quark did not produce printouts, the Console log named the problem fonts.)
    The culprit may be the Adobe Reader PPD or Plugin. The path to those are HD/Library/Printers/PPDs/Resources/en.lproj/ADPDF7.PPD and HD/Library/Printers/PPD Plugins/AdobePDFPDE700.plugin. So if you try deleting Adobe Reader stuff again, be sure to delete those docs too, before re-installing.
    Note: I use Acorbat Pro 7 so I do not know if the filenames ADPDF7.PPD and AdobePDFPDE700.plugin are the same for Reader, but the paths might be helpful.
    Before uninstalling and re-installing both Adobe PhotoShop and Reader, I would suggest that you check the integrity of you hard drive. Overtime, stuff gets out of place and some applications are more sensitive than others. If there is something wrong on the hard drive, replacing the applications will still produce the same problem. Repairing disk is different from repairing permissions. As in my previous post, boot up your computer with your OS 10.3.x Install Disk 1 and launch the Disk Utility app from the CD. Click on Repair Disk...
    Hope this helps.

  • Can't start camera from unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8

    Hi!
    Some I can't start the camera from the unlock screen in iphone 5c since ios8 update.
    It works a couple of hours after reboot, but the problem keeps turning back randomly.
    After iOS8 update I also installed facebook, facebook messenger, linkedin and sync.me and configured skype.
    The actions are:
    Enabling the unlock screen and then sliding up the camera icon, it seems to appear a camera captured image but then the screen turns black or greyish (randomly) like the unlock screen background.
    The problem doesn't happen from the control center panel locked or unlocked.
    It isn't a big problem because there are simple workarounds, but it's annoying when it happens.
    Best regards,
    Bruno.

    This problem seem to have been solved in iOS 8.0.2.

  • Can't start up from 10.5 Install Disk, but can from MB Pro Install Disk?

    Many thanks in advance for your attention.
    1. I was going to Verify (and then maybe Repair) HD by starting up my computer from the OS 10.5 install disk, but my laptop just blacked out (froze) each time I tried to start up from the 10.5 install disk. I tried starting up holding down the "c" key, the "option" key, and the "shift" key.
    Each time my laptop just blacked out and froze. Odd as the 10.5 install disk has very rarely ben used and has no visible scratches, etc. I think I haven't used it since the original install.
    2. So I tried instead the original Install Disk 1 that came factory specific with the MacBook Pro (which also has 10.5 and iLife, etc. on it). Held down the "c" key and I was able to boot from the Disk (and do a Verify Disk, etc.). No problems at all.
    Anyone know what could be up with my OS 10.5 Install Disk? Is there a way to test if the Disk itself is somehow damaged?
    Thank you.

    Thanks again for your response.
    I am all for these forums in helping people out. I know some questions/ answers can't be all black and white.
    But - in the interests of clarity for others out there -
    1. Again, I was not trying to INSTALL from the 10.5 Install Disk.
    2. I was merely trying to insert it and use it to VERIFY my HD.
    3. I know one cannot do an "update" INSTALL from (for example) a 10.4 Disk if one already has 10.5 installed.
    4. But - through the incarnations of 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 - I had always been able to use the OS X retail install disk (no matter how old) to check out my HD, even if my HD had (for example) 10.3.5 on it and my Install Disk was just 10.3.
    According to the link William posted, this may be different (I would guess on rare occasions), starting with Leopard.
    5. But, given my history through all the incarnations of OS X, I was puzzled when it seemed my laptop could not read my very unused, mint 10.5 OS Install Disk. A mystery. But when I washed a seemingly flawless disk, it worked afterwards. So something must have been on it I couldn't see.

  • Recovering Windows password from fingerprint reader

    Hello,
    I have used fingerprint reader for a long time and forgotten my windows password. However, I need it now.
    I'm running Windows 8 on Lenovo E530 with Fingerprint reader 6.0.200.75.
    Is it possible to reveal your windows password in the same way than website passwords? And if it is, how?
    Googling didn't produce results and the previous topic here referred to fingerprint reader 5.9.x with different settings page, where it was possible.
    Thank you for assistance.

    Hi and welcome to Lenovo Community.
    If you have reviewed Lenovo's fingerprint utility documentation and that has not helped, perhaps calling Lenovo Support would be the best route to take.

  • Can't start movies from AppleTV directly :-(

    First thing first: I'm not sure what version of appleTV I own but I purchased it from an apple store about a month ago. That being sayd: When I try to start a movie (from my home share) directly via appleTV it doesn't load. However, when I start movies from my PC it works flawlessly with no problems at all.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
