Cut myself on a T420i

I was opening my laptop and the e in "Lenovo" on the left hand side broke off and sliced my thumb pretty good. I put a band-aid on it but I was pretty surprised how this happened. Has anyone else had trouble with their branding breaking off?

Help - I changed DHCP settings and cut myself off from my own router!

In my lame attempt to increase security on my router (WRT54GS) I changed the allowed number of DHCP users from 50 to 4. As soon as I clicked "Save Settings" I systematically disabled access to the router from all computers in the house, and now I can even get into the router to change it back. Grr!! Before I touch anything else, I wanted to reach out for help. Anyone?

Hummmm, well if I had to guess I bet you did not hold down the reset button in back for 30 seconds at least and then power cycle the router. A quick press of the button will not perform a hard reset. So how did you perform the 'reset' ;-).
Wireless security can be found here. Pick which level you want. Glad you got it going.

[Solved] Laptop Suspend puts Hard Drive into Read-Only

My problem is that s2ram brings back X (and the virtual console, if I'm on one), but never the hard drive.
s2ram -f -a 1 suspends just like s2ram -f. -a 2 and 3 just make a high pitched sound.
I tried both http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Suspend_to_RAM and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils methods.
I updated my BIOS drivers but that didn't help
s2disk works perfectly.

Nevermind .. *sigh* ... pci=msi on the kernel fixed it .. going to go cut myself now ...

Something went wrong....

Sorry about this being extremely long.
Recently my iBook broke down so i sent it to get repaired turned out something was wrong with the hard drive so all my stuff went bye bye. I thought i had backupped everything but i realzed about 600 songs were not so i didnt want to lose them so i put my ipod into manual mode so i can keep them, but one day while adding a podcast something happened and iTunes crashed. After that wen i plugged back in my iPod it was no longer recognized by iTunes unless i erased everything and started over so after a week i decided to say goodbye to the songs and redo everything. I hooked up my hard drive and addded the songs to my ipod it was sort of a lot of songs, about 5300. So i let it update then watched a movie to let the time go, when i came back it still wasnt done so i started watching it to see how fast it was going, i quicly realized it was stuck at a certain song meaning at song about 4700 it just stopped syncing. I found the song in iTunes and played it to see if it worked, it did but i thought its just one song so i deleted it to move things along, nothing changed I guess iTunes didn't realized i delted it cuz it was still trying to add it, so i clicked the eject button so i could unplug it and plug it back to finish the syncing. When i did this itunes froze and after about 5 minutes i restarted my ipod by holding down menu and play, because itunes would not quit no matter how many times i hit the force quit button, but as soon as i unplugged the ipod it quit automaticly. So i grabbed my ipod and noticed NONE of the songs were there yet the space had still been taken up so I got very mad then plugged it back in and watched it update for half an hour then once again on a different song it froze. i got very mad, so mad i slammed my fist on my laptop and my ipod. I guess i was very mad because i cut myself and bled from the click wheel. Then I did it a third time, this time being very careful. Every 1000 songs i ejected it and checked if the songs were working then i plugged it back in, i did this 4 times then i stopped for the night because from the first time i plugged it in till that point had taken about 5 hours. So i played a few songs on it to make sure everything was fine, and it was fine indeed so i thought i wud update it later. A few days later i got some new music so i added them and every now and then i would add little by little. However now it doesnt work, it is doing what it used to do. When i try to add new music it maybe adds 4 or 5 then stops adding them and if i try to quit iTunes it freezes and wont quit until i unplug the ipod, when i unplug the ipod i get the warning thing, but all the songs work fine EXCEPT the songs i was trying to add. I thought maybe I should just wait so i updated it today and after waiting about 30 minutes for a song to update i was fed up. I do notice that the hard drive makes noises every once in a while, I know hard drive make noise because they spin and bla bla bla BUT what i hear is like a "da da da da da da" like it keeps tryin to write something but cant. I kind of think when i slammed my fist on it i might have messed something up internally that is why it always stops updating past a certain point. What do you think? The worst part is the warrenty juss expired a few weeks ago, so if I am right and the hard drive is the problem how much do you think it costs to fix it?

I have the same problem as yours with my 3rd Gen iPod, which hardly pass thru the 100 songs mark. Seems there are some recovered bad sectors on the Hard drive of the iPod. see doing the following helps
For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”

Trying to Install Windows 8.1 on Bootcamp

I'm trying to install Windows 8.1 disk using Boot Camp Assistant and USB SuperDrive. When i have "Download the latest Windows support software from apple" selected this is what happens.
If I unselect "Download the latest Windows support software from apple" and continue, I get to the "Creat a partitian for Windows" page. After choosing how much space for Windows to have and clicking install, this is what happens.
Then I go back and the process happens all over again. What do I do?

This is one of the reasons why I never used BootCamp after testing it once in 2009. I got VMWare Fusion and never looked back. Now I use Parallels, but I still would rather have a VM of Windows than have to reboot and basically cut myself off from OS X while doing Windows stuff.
Seriosuly, you should check it out: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)

Acrobat 9 Pro will NOT install (CS4 Design Premium)
Acrobat Pro 9 will not install (FAILED), although every other program on the CS4 DVDs did install properly.
I have followed the instructions, and have tried with no programs running, not even virus protection (which is an insane thing for Adobe to demand of a product being installed where the installation routine is expecting an Internet connection): FAILED.
I uninstalled my Acrobat 6 Pro, (a standalone Pro version that I had to have a few years ago.) I uninstalled that working program knowing I had no idea where my original Adobe Acrobat CD is located, so I was essentially cutting myself off of Acrobat Pro if the Acrobat 9 Pro install continued to fail.
I reported this to Adobe support online.
I have followed the instructions to disable startup items and services, then tried the Acrobat 9 Pro install: FAILED.
At that point, I gave up installing Acrobat 9 Pro. I didn't have any more time to screw with it - I would re-visit the installation failure later.
Lo and behold, a client sent me a PDF file of a brochure, in an email, and I had to grab some text from it to put on his website (Done in Dreamweaver CS4.) Well, damn, now I'll have to go back and get that install to work...FAILED!
Suspecting a problem in the installation routine on the DVD, I decided to download the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro. So, I did. It downloaded and installed without a hiccup, and I had Acrobat 9 Pro working for 30 days...
I did what I had to do, using the trial version, then figured I would re-visit the installation issue later, when I had a few hours to dedicate to all the hell of calling Adobe software support, handholding, maybe registry edits, multiple reboots, and multiple attempts at doing everything again, just so the support person would know that I did follow all the steps correctly to prove thw outcome is sill FAILED!
Oh crap, I got another PDF file. No problem, I thought, I don't need to edit the PDF, just read it. When I tried to open the file, Acrobat 9 Pro plastered a screen over the program - the screen saying my 30 day trial version has now run out, demanded a serial number, or quit. My CS4 serial number would not activate it, and so I had to quit, not even being able to read the PDF file.
So, I un-installed the trial version of Acrobat 9 Pro that had installed without a hitch and had worked flawlessly for 30 days.
Now I'm going to have to visit hell, and get the software that I paid hundreds of dollars for to work...
Please STOP and NOTE: Acrobat 9 Pro installed perfectly from the downloaded Internet version. What does that tell you? There are no operating system issues, no hardware compatibility issues (which I knew anyway, as the OS and hardware is up to date.) Even more significantly, there is no issue with the Windows registry, or other versions of Adobe Acrobat that had been installed before in the machine. My conclusion was that it has to be a problem with the installation routine on the CS4 disks.
So, I spent an hour on the phone with Adobe personnel: software support, to customer service, to sales, to customer service, and back to sales. After software support came to the conclusion that I needed to UNINSTALL ALL OF CS4, and run a clean-up utility, I knew I had to try getting a new set of DVDs and hope the installation routine problems/bugs had been worked out.
After being batted back and forth by Adobe Customer Service and Adobe Sales, I finally got someone to agree to send a set of DVDs to me.
I got the DVDs. I tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro: FAILED
As I told the software support person, I do not want to un-install the entire CS4 suite. I have all of those programs working fine, and have about a dozen web sites within Dreamweaver CS4 painstakingly set up and active, and some of them are current projects that I am working on daily. I also have multiple extensions installed, and spent quite a bit of time getting all of those programs set up for my preferences and my work flow. I DO NOT WANT to uninstall the entire suite of applications to get Acrobat 9 Pro to install.
And the conclusion of the "sophisticated" Adobe Support Advisor as to what specifically was the instalation issue?
Adobe Support Advisor
The module found no solutions to report for the selected log file.
If you continue to have difficulties with the application,
please contact Adobe Support: http://www.adobe.com/support
System Information :
Operating System = Windows XP
Locale = en
At this point, what I want is to know what registry keys to edit and which folder(s) to delete to eliminate previous traces of Acrobat. In other words, just exactly the tiny piece of the "clean-up utility" that I need to run in order to allow the *Y#^%@#&#(& installation routine to work for Acrobat 9 Pro. I have no intention of uninstalling Dreamweaver CS4, as that is my business livlihood, and I know that my Dreamweaver CS4 client files/sites could not be read by earlier Dreamweaver versions. Asking me to uninstall Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash, InDesign, and Fireworks is insane. Your bad installation routine is not my fault, and you cannot expect me spend countless hours getting all those programs set up the way I want and with all my client/work files working correctly and all the extensions set up properly. So, if Adobe software support refuses to tell me what registry keys need to be changed, then I want Adobe Sales to send me a new, standalone version of Acrobat 9 Pro on disk.
Dennis

I hit the same problem except I had a Reader X installed not a pro version. For me the solution was to really make sure that nothing else was running. I followed the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651#reso2 the link is goofy so here is the pertinent text:

Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

Is iPad Mini with Retina display screen a gorilla glass?

No it's definitely not gorilla glass... I don't know if it's even hardened glass. My iPad Mini's screen broke the other day with the slightest bump. When I submitted it to Apple to be fixed (I assumed it was weakened in production or something) they said it would cost $225 to replace it. So yeah, be very very very careful with your iPads... don't let your kids touch them or anything (buy them Kindle Fires). I'm going to attempt to fix my iPad Mini's screen myself (lest I cut myself). If that doesn't work I guess I'll have to move on to Android tablets with gorilla glass...

ITunes Plus FAQs doesn't make sense: Needs a tutorial and clear instruction

Hi,
My wife and I have spent over an hour trying to "simply" purchase anything in iTunes plus and the FAQ's don't help. I haven't a clue how to do it, or would I really want to given the the Question (if I'm reading it right) "Can I still buy music encoded at 128kbps with DRM?" Answer: No.
If I won't be able to buy the usual iTunes music available at 128kbps that makes up the majority of iTunes music purchases (hardly anything i want is available in itunes plus) why would I want to cut myself from buying the larger available music source? I must have misunderstood this, but as we can't seem to find a way to upgrade yet, prices still reflect the itunes music, (no link to a plus version or a plus price) iTunes haven't exactly made upgrading songs transparent. I think they need to post a tutorial to show the process.
When I click on the itunes plus I'm presented with an album and 3 songs from my own library (not my wife's even though we were in that when we clicked on the upgrade) I guess I can upgrade those if I take up the special offer. But no information beyond that. No info on what that will do to her library, my library, future purchases not available in iTunes plus, etc.
Concerns about upgrading a library of a few hundred songs and being billed for all that is putting me off taking up the offer at the moment.

I'm not sure I understand your question. Tracks are available only in two formats: the "normal" format of 128 Kbps AAC with copy protection which makes up the bulk of the content on the iTunes Store, and iTunes Plus tracks (currently offered only on music from EMI and from a few independent labels) which are 256 Kbps AAC without copy protection. As of several months ago, the price for Plus and non-Plus tracks is identical and you don't have a choice of which you select; if a track is iTunes Plus, it will not be offered in the lower-rate copy-protected format (there's no reason why anyone with sense would not want their tracks as iTunes Plus).
So when you go to buy a track, if it's iTunes Plus, that's the way you'll purchase it and the only format in which that track will be available. You'll be able to tell by the "+" symbol next to the price.
As to upgrading, when you click on the iTunes Plus link and then Upgrade, the iTunes Store will then show any tracks you have purchased - and it's by the iTunes Store account you are logged into (it's based on the account's Purchase History), not the library currently in use that governs what upgrade options are shown - that are eligible for upgrade to Plus. Depending on what label released the tracks you bought, there might be many eligible for upgrade or only a few (or none). When you upgrade (and you have to upgrade all the tracks at once; you can't pick and choose), iTunes will give you the option of just replacing and deleting the old tracks, or replacing them and keeping them. If you choose the latter, iTunes will move the old versions to a separate folder.

Shattered Screen on 3G PLEASE HELP

I recently dropped my iPhone and the screen shattered, however my phone still works perfectly. I am not eligible for an upgrade but the phone needs to be replaced as I already cut myself on the shattered screen. I took it to the Apple store and the employee stated I would just have to buy a new one. AT&T says I have to pay full retail for a new phone! Does anyone know if the screen can be repaired? My iPhone is less than 1 year old and I hate to have to buy other one, especially at full retail. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Janine- I just had mine replaced- I called apple care- let them know that I had a hairline crack that spread- eggshelled and now I cannot use the phone with out a screen protector or I will cut my finger as the glass had chards. they immediately determined it is a safety issue and set me up for an appt at the local apple genius bar for a screen replacement- took about 5 minutes and I have a new screen. they do not swap out the phones, only the screen. But its like having a brand new phone! I do want to mention that This is my second cracked screen- the first time I had to pay for a new Iphone, full price, so they have changed policy along the way. The Iphone that they just replaced the screen on was 6 months old. So if your within your warranty period- call apple care first and explain the safety issue- GOOD LUCK!!

What type of Capture Deck should I get?

Well I've been capturing footage from my Panasonic DVX-100a Camera for a while now into final cut, and I'm told that I am a fool for doing so (head damge to the camera), so...what type of capture deck should I get? I have about $500 to spend. Any websites or brand names that you could give me would be great thanks!

I've gone off on this too many times, so I'll cut myself off as shortly as I can, but since you asked...
I think a retail pricetag of ~ $1675.00 USD is excessive for a glorified VCR, yes. Sure they're handy and hardy, do timecode, A/D conversion, etc.. yes. Great. So do $200.00 cams. I'm guessing the DSR-11 costs about 100-150 USD to make. Compare it so say a Sony PS3 as far as components, R&D costs, the whopping avertisement cost of ZERO, etc, yes they're big fat sham. I understand the history behind the VTR and that it's target audience was primarily industrial/commercial/professional prior to the boom in consumer level NLEditing popularity. But now that we've got firestores and P2 cards and everyone and their brother has a computer with Vegas and a DV camera it's high time that Sony and others get with the program and drop prices on outdated technology.
One always should pay a premium for any high end professional quality piece of machinery- but the DSR-11 in particular isn't THAT solid. Compare it to the DSR-30 in build quality and it's night and day. Then again the DSR-30 cost about 2x the DSR-11 when in production. (still doesn't weaken my argument at how costly the entry level machine is) They just aren't worth as much as they cost period, but due to a controlled market have stayed pricey. Someone should come along and sell a DSR-11 equivalent for 600 bucks, still make a handy profit, and force prices down.
Remember.. you asked. Sorry regardless for the rant.
(and I've heard the JVC VCR/combo is pretty weak before it gets mentioned. I mean a true equivalent.) The JVC thing should be sold for 300.

Invert a layer mask? Can't Ctrl + I

I'm doing some photo editing of a HDR combined photoshop file. I have a layer mask of my buildings. I copied the layer, now i'd like to invert the mask so that I can immediately start fiddling with the sky.
How do I invert the layer mask? I'm in 32-bit mode right now. CS3

Ah, CS3 Extended. I was going to purchase that as an upgrade, having had every other version as a stand-alone since 2.5 (except 5.5), BUT, I had used my S/N from AI to get the upgrade to Adobe Production Studio Premium CS2 for video. It included PS CS2, which I really didn't need, as I had it on my two machines already. Went to upgrade to just PS CS3 Extended, but could not, as I NOW had to get the full-boat boogie package for Premiere, et al. Bummer. I do not want anything else in CS3, except Extended. First time I've ever been miffed at an Adobe upgrade policy. I had cut myself off from ever upgrading one component, even if I had previously owned it/them as a stand-alone. Will wait for CS4 and just take out a second mortgage - if I can get one then...

Sync multiple clips with master clip

I have a multicam shoot with two stationery cameras continually recording for the entire event and a third camera roaming around, getting dozens of individual clips from different locations/angles. ALL THREE CAMERA HAVE SYNCED TIME CODE.
I don't want to treat this as a normal multicam project, since the third camera has dozens of clips (this means dozens of "camera angles" in a multicam timeline). The best way for me to edit these cameras together in post, in my view, is to sync everything up in a timeline, and do the cutting myself.
In Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2 (33), I can sync the continual recordings no problem, because they overlap. But the dozens of clips created from the third camera have to be placed manually or timecode synced one by one.
I have found a kind of a cheat. I create a multicam sequence using all 90 of my clips (synced by timecode) then open the multicam sequence in the timeline. I then manually drag all 88 clips from the third camera down into one layer.
From here, I have two options: 1, edit as a multicam shoot with only three cameras instead of 90, or 2, Create a new, empty sequence, then copy/paste from the multicam sequence to the empty one and edit manually.
Here's my question, now that I've found a cheat: how can I better sync multiple clips with no overlapping timecode to a master clip with master timecode?

I have identical real time TC for all 3 cameras, and two cams are continually recording. the third is roaming.
Here's a link to a past project: News & Events :: PCC's Christmas Lights Spectacular :: Pensacola Christian College
As you can see, one is locked, one is on a tripod getting closeups, zooms, and pans, and the third is moving around getting various angles. The two on a tripos are left continually recording, but the roamer starts and stops (it's handheld, so it's easier to just start/stop).
@shooternz, could you elaborate on your method a bit? You seem to indicate that you can just drop the third camera's clips in the sequence based on Time Code. I'm not familiar with TC Panels or TC Markers.
As for not all of them being used... I do have several dozen clips left over the course of a half-hour concert... :/

How do I delete my encrypted iPad backup, & then create an unecrypted backup?

Good Afternoon,
I had recently dropped my iPad. The screen still functions, but every swipe is pretty much an invitation to cutting myself on a glass shard so I'm sending it in for exchange.
In any case my first backup (which is now antiquated) was encrypted & I can't remember the password.
Can I delete my previous backup and create an entirely new backup (without encryption)? If so, where can I delete said backup?
It seems everytime Ive tried to take off that "Encrypt my backup" checkmark item, it prompts me for the password..
Thank you in advance if anyone is able to aid in this question.

I apologize, but I have a few follow-up questions. I believe the thread did confirm this, but I'd like to be absolutely sure bc once best buy takes my ipad, I won't see the replacement for a couple days and by then I won't be able to resync.
1) I can delete this current encrypted backup.
2) I can connect my current iPad and perform an entirely new backup (sans encryption).
3) When best buy gives me my refurb iPad, I can restore using the backup from point #2?
I got a little worried after reading wjosten's point about having to restore as a new ipad.

Yoiu also have to restore the phone as a new device, after deleting the existing backups. If you don't restore as a new device, the encryption requirement will not be removed.
"If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device."

Iphone 3gs front completely shattered?

The other day I fell and while I was writing on the ground in pain I grabbed my phone to call someone for help and the screen was completely shattered and the case was snapped. I'm not totally sure if I just dropped the phone when I fell and then landed on it or what. But anyways, something must have happened on the inside of the phone too because it only lights up white. It still dings when I get texts and such, and when I can manange to drag my finger along the bottom of the screen without cutting myself, it makes the unlocking sound, but the screen is just white.
I was wondering if anyone has experience with this and what my options are. Since the screen won't light up I'm thinking it will need to be replaced rather than repaired? I'm still under warranty but I know it doesn't cover accidental damage. Will I have any sympathy at the Apple store or on the phone with them? Perphaps because the 3gs can't be too expensive now can it? I literally got it for $.01 in March.
Ugh I'm so lost! Thanks in advance to anyone who answers! I'm with AT & T btw.

Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further support from Apple will be voided.

MacBook White or Aluminium?

Hey, just looking for a bit of advice.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to technical computer knowledge and computer specifications, I'll be honest. Actually, I have no idea what the difference between a DDR2 and DDR3 RAM stick is or anything like that, so I was wondering if someone could give me some advice as to whether to go for a MacBook White or Aluminium?
I do alot of film editing for my college course using Final Cut, so that's mainly what I'd use it for, apart from essay writing and maybe a few games, if I can ever afford Final Cut myself. Is one better than the other for video playback and running Final Cut, etc?
The only problem I've found is that the Aluminium one doesn't have a firewire? Which is what I use on the college G5s to upload from the cameras. Can you get USB upload wires?
Anyway, sorry for my lack of knowledge, any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi streetlighthope,
I unfortunately don't know the more technical specifications of DDR3 vs. DDR2 other than the generalities:
1.) DDR3 RAM runs about 30% less power than a DDR2 RAM module
2.) DDR3 RAM is capable of transferring data at 2x the rate of DDR2 RAM module, which allows for faster FSB (Front Side Bus) speeds and higher peak data rates.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR3_SDRAM
With that being said, the aluminum MacBook features the DDR3 RAM (however both machines have the 1066MHz FSB) and the white MacBook has the DDR2 RAM.
I know of several coworkers that run Final Cut Studio on their new white MacBooks at 2GB of RAM and are very pleased with the performance, considering the price of the machine. I think, when decided between the two models there are a couple of factors to consider:
1.) How important is FireWire? There is no USB-to-FireWire adapter and some peripherals or devices only work with FireWire. If FW is critical, then you're looking at either the white MacBook or the MacBook Pro.
2.) How important is a backlight keyboard? Seems like a trivial aesthetic "feature" but for some people this is a very important feature of their computer, the white MacBook and 2.0GHz aluminum MacBook do not support this feature.
As with any RAM/CPU/GPU technology, newer is typically better, faster and would allow for more growth potential. However, DDR3 is relatively newer (as compared against DDR2) so perhaps all of it's growth potential and capabilities are not truly known. One additional thing to consider with the RAM choices, is that both machines are capable of supporting up to 4GB of RAM.
