Change Asset Tag Information

I am trying to find a way to remove/change the asset tag information on a range of Lenovo's.
In my research so far, I have found
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-75237
A lot of forums say this works in Windows and in Dos. Does anyone have a how to on using this program? I have tried in both Windows and Dos and neither one can I make it work.
Has anyone used this and know it works for what I want? Or does anyone know of a different way to edit the Asset Tag field in the BIOS?
Thanks,
-Shane

I have seen prompt whether such information is to be updated in doing BIOS updates. Which have been to date via the Windows package. HOWEVER, I would tread VERY cautiously in doing so. Its not for the faint of heart. If a MD is swapped the tech usually applies the serial # too it and not reason to effect any changes since it tied to the warranty.
Have you tried the US support line. If you get through to the American support team you will likely get the info you need. Otherwise try again and again.

Adding Asset Tag information into the Bios from Windows 7

Hi
I am wondering whether there is a utility that will enable me to add Asset tag information into the bios from within windows 7 . We have various models mainly T410 / T420 ' but alos some X201 / X220's
Firstly is there such a utility ?
secondly is there one for all ?
If not is anyone able to suggest how this maybe done . Manual entry at the bios level on thousands of Laptops is just not possible. The end result is for the asset information to be picked up in SCCM and tracked
Thanks
Andy

Tecra M11 and asset Tag

Hi,
I'm looking for how to set the asset tag information int the smbios of a toshiba tecra M11 laptop ?
I have found this post LINK:[http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=40167] but the tool assettag.Exe don't keep the tag after reboot.
Any idea please ?

I dont know if you have European notebook model but here in Europe this tool is not available for customers and this stuff must be done by authorized service provider.
If you want you can try to contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
As you can see in other thread last user has posted link to Toshiba US support page.

Add/update asset tag into T430 bios

We received 5 T430 laptops without the Asset tag added into the BIOS.
Previously (in T410 and T420 we could run a tool to add this information, I searched the website and couldn't found such a tool for the T430.
On this board I found one solution but ether I do something wrong or the solution doesn't work:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/Adding-Asset-Tag-information-into-the-Bios-...
And then I am pointing to the solution added by Langeballe:
"Get be bios upgrade package from their website and then run the following to update the asset tag:
(This is for Windows 7 64 Bit)
winflash64.exe -patch -dpc "My Asset Tag"
Reboot and it should be set"
I followed the steps and it does flash the bios, it does reboot but no info is written to ths bios.
Excuse my poor English it is not my native spoken language.
Kind regards,
Henk

ITunes changing ID tags

Since installing the new version of iTunes today (v.10.6.1.7) I have had an issue where sometimes when I double click on a song to play, iTunes changes the tag information for the song. Specifically, it re-adds in the original Album Artist, Composer, and Track no. (which I delete when I add a new song to my library). It also adds a long string of numbers and letters (e.g., 0000084 A000900....) into the Comment field. It does not change any other fields as far as I can tell. It is not doing it to all songs, just some. It has only started doing this since running the update. Does anyone know why iTunes is suddenly doing this? Thanks.

Thanks both for your help.
The odd thing is, this has only happening since the iTunes update I ran yesterday.
I don't use WMP, but have unticked the settings in the Options that may be causing a problem, and removed all libraries from WMP. I did find that WMP was importing all my music into its music library without me knowing. I have changed the all library locations so they are empty. However, the problem is still occurring.
I'm not sure it's a problem with tags not saving, as I have played these specific songs before now (for many years) with no problems, but now it is suddenly making these changes post iTunes update.
It seems to be a common problem from what I have seen on online, but one Apple don't seem to answer.

Tecra All Models - How to set Asset Tag

Hello,
For the past year we have used a tool to set the asset tag on toshiba notebooks. It runs from an external floppy drive, but the disk is overwritten en we do not have any copies of this tool.
I am pretty sure one of my colleagues downloaded this tool from the toshiba site but we are unable to find it anywhere. Can someone provide a download link or an alternative tool wich is able to set and display a notebook's asset tag.
The commands we used in this tool are
assettag /da
assettag /sa
Hope you can help
Kind Regards,
Sander74
_**UPDATE** The filename of this tool is assettag.exe**_

Thanks for your answers.
We tried to undelete the content of the overwritten floppy but we were not able to restore all data. We did manage to restore some text files, htm file and a diz file. I'll post the content below.
As you can see there a comments that suggest that this is indeed a toshiba tool. Perhaps someone reading this has better searching skills then i do.
*_CONTENT OF ASSETTAG.EXE_*
DMI Asset Tag Utility Version 1.02.1
Copyright(c) 1999 Toshiba America Information Systems
This procedure has installed the assettag program to your
hard disk. It has copied the following files to the
directory C:\Asst_tag

*_CONTENT OF ASSETTAG.HTM_*
SM BIOS Asset Tag Utility Version 1.02.1
Copyright (c) 1999 Toshiba America Information System. All rights reserved.
The SM BIOS Asset Tag Utility displays a variety of useful data fields from the SM BIOS. In addition, is capable of setting or changing the value of the asset tag field of the SM BIOS. Since the asset tag field is in the BIOS, the hard disk may be reformatted and reinstalled without effecting the field's contents.
This program is a command line, non-interactive program, suitable for use in batch files and other automated environments. It is a real mode DOS program, and can not be run in pure 32 bit environments such as Windows NT.
usage: ASSETTAG <switch> [string]
Switch
Usage
/DA
Display asset tag string
/DM
Display system manufacturer string
/DP
Display model string
/DC
Display chassis serial number string
/DS
Display system serial number string
/SA <string>
Write asset tag string
/F <filename>
Write asset tag string based on contents of specified serial number - asset tag mapping file (see format below).
The Asset Tag has a maximum length of 31 bytes.
Examples:
ASSETTAG /SA 12345
ASSETTAG /SA "123 456" (quotes to embed spaces.)
ASSETTAG /F ATLIST.DAT
The /F switch specifies that the asset tag to be written to the BIOS should be obtained from a file, the name of which is given as a parameter following the /F switch. This file contains a list of serial numbers and asset tags in the format:
Serial number white space Asset tag
Each line should contain a system serial number, with no leading white space. Following the serial number, one or more white space characters (space or tab) delimit the serial number from the start of the asset tag. The first following non-white space character is taken to be the start of the asset tag, which will continue until the end of the line. Thus, asset tags may not begin with white space, but can contain almost any character thereafter.
For example:
12345678 FA99485
TE992837 ACCT992
30899283 Loaner Unit
If the lines above were placed in a file and used by the assettag program, then a PC with the serial number of 12345678 would be set with the tag FA99485. A PC with the serial number 30899283 would be set with the asset tag value of Loaner Unit.

Assign the Asset "Tag Number" at PO receipt stage

Our customer has a requirement to enter the Asset Tag Number for an item when the purchase order is receipted (or even at inspection stage for 4-way match PO's). The tag number entered, should then flow through to the FA module.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved with standard functionality, or if it can be done with a customization?
Here is the basic flow steps, the words in brackets () are the change we're looking for.
1. Create PO for item coded to asset clearing account
2. Receipt PO (and assign the Asset Tag Number)
3. Match the PO to the AP invoice.
4. Validate and account the AP invoice and transfer that to GL.
5. Run the Mass Additions Create Process
6. Find the Asset in Mass Additions Create (the Tag Number field should be populated with the value entered in step 2)
7. Post Asset

Hi,
This is unfortunately not possible with standards but you may try using Badi ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST => PROCESS_ACCOUNT.

Can MediaSource display MP3 file name instead of MP3 tag information? ; Playlist default locat

?I am using Creative MediaSource Player 5.0.38 as an MP3 player on my computer:?. Can we get MediaSource to display mp3 file names instead of mp3 tag information when file is being played as part of a Playlist???2. Playlists are stored in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\
or if not logged in as Administrator:
C:\Documents and Settings\[name of your account]\Application Data\Creative\Media Database\?Unlike with Creative PlayCenter, default location of Playlists cannot be changed in Windows registry.?Is there any?way to change Playlist default location?
??3. If Shuffle play mode is selected, MediaSource will still always play the first file on the Playlist? and only then switch to shuffle mode. I found a workaround for this because old PlayCenter 2 had this problem, is this a known bug that they still haven't fixed after all these years???Message Edited by c627627 on 04-6-200706:33 PM

Hi,
I understand you want to place description of Content type as refiner in Search Refinement.
Without coding, you may considering adding a column for description and use this column as refiner.

Matching Machine Serial Number to a Asset Tag

Is there a way to take the machine Serial Number (From System Profiler possiblely) and match it to a file that has Serial Numbers and Asset Tags from a inventory database?
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
3. Once match is made the Asset Tag is known
3. Make the Asset Tag a environment variable.
G4 1.42 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

You don't define the format of the file that contains asset numbers and serial numbers (and I think the 'tie together' is making it sound harder than it is.
In any case:
1. Define Serial Number through System Profiler
system_profiler will tell you this. You can ask for the specific hardware information, then parse out the serial number, like:
/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3}'
2. Scan File with Serial Numbers and Asset Tags which are tied together.
Without knowing this file format it's impossible to tell how to do this for sure, but if the file was a simple tab-delimited file of asset number<tab>serial number, then:
awk '/<serial_number>/ {print $1}' /path/to/asset_file
You can now string the two together, like:
#! /bin/sh
SERIAL=`/usr/sbin/system_profiler SPHardwareDataType | awk '/Serial/ { print $3 }'`
echo "Found serial number ${SERIAL}"
ASSETNO=`/usr/bin/awk "/${SERIAL}/ { print \\$1 }" /var/tmp/assets`
echo "Found asset number $ASSETNO"
export ASSETNO
Note the user of double-backslashes in the second awk to overcome shell expansion issues.

Missing Asset Tag in Inventories

Has anyone come accross a problem where Zenworks will not pick up the Asset Tag of machines?
We have a number of Dell machines that are missing this information, but we cannot find a reason for this.

Changing mp3 tags in iTunes

Hi all.
I'm changing mp3 tags, adding album covers, etc through Get Info directly in iРhone/Music. I can't see changes in my iPhone music library sometimes. So tags and covers in iTunes differ from the tags in iPhone player.
I tried to reboot the phone, change tag or add cover one more time. It's still not the same.
Help me, please.
iTunes 10.6.1.7

It seems that sometimes when i play a group of songs it will go through and add information to them on its own without prompting me that i do not want there. I have a very clean list of songs as to reduce the number of duplicate artists/albums in my list.
actually, if the songs are in the MP3 format, it's plausible that your WMP is doing this silently in the background. for more information on that possibility (and troubleshooting advice if that's what is afoot here), see the following post:
Otto42: Re: Auto-retrieval Track Information iTunes

Please help me, I gave my information out to a person and he has changed all my information and now I can't get in.. I know the persons name

Please help me, I gave my information out to a person and he has changed all my information and I can't log back in.
Adrian Lee is the person I gave it to.
He told me to email him my information so he can level me up in the game Clash of Clans so I did and he changed all my information and I told him to give it back via email and he refused but suggested to restore my iPod and it would go back to normal and I dis, I nearly lost everything since I haven't backed it up for a while and I'm a Music Producer, this password is my paycheck, my food, my rent, my everything, now I'm not sure if this is the right place to go to but please help me. i'm begging you to please restore my password.. I'm not asking for anything of what I lost back, just my password so I can change it, get my things back and move on with my life. I have really back anxiety attacks. Please. I'm begging you. You guys are my last chance..
<Emails Edited By Host>

If you can't contact the person and get the information back then:
- Contact the police for help
- Restore from backup.
If you can't get it from the person or from a backup then it is lost.
In the future be carrful about who you give your login information to.

I can't change my billing information or my credit card information - Please Contact itunes support to complete transaction

For a week now I've not been able to change my billing address or information OR change the credit card I wish to use on itunes. I've tried resetting the cache and warning messages, restarting my machine, and contacting itunes support. This is rediculous. I recieved an e-mail 4 days later saying that I couldn't use that credit card? The funny thing is, I have another account that can... So why can't I change it on this account? This is my main account and I want to use my main credit card. So finally they just deleted my old credit card information. This is fine, but I still can't add a credit card or even just change my billing information. This is absolutely ********. How hard is it to have your customers edit form information and store it in your database? Seriously, I'm so upset right now. Apple is known for being user friendly, how is this user friendly? I can't change my own billing information? I also feel like I'm one of the only people in my group of friends that actually pays for all of their music/movies, but now I can't even do that? This is so upsetting. Apple, I'm so disappointed in you.

Ok, so I finally got help on this issue. Basically, I had tried to edit my credit card information, and it secretly locked my account. After finally getting a hold of a representative through the chat service on the support site, I was able to get this fixed. I had been previously helped by someone through e-mail, but that was a complete waste of time. Go for the chat service, it's a million times better. They were able to release the secret block on my account...from trying to change my own information so that I could change it and be on my way. Anyway, I hope this helps.

I created an new apple id and want to change my billing information from the old id to the new id. How do i do that, as i have been trying it like always and it keeps saying that i have to contact apple support? I have an iphone 5S.

Good day BenithaK,
Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -

To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -
