Displayport sound and harddrive upgrade questions

1. I'm thinking to buy a Displayport to HDMI cable. One review I read online claimed that Thinkpad T500's Displayport doesn't support sound. It raised my concern. Does my T410 support sound?
2. If I buy a new hard drive, how to copy the OS (Windows 7) to the new hard drive? I don't have disks. I don't think I have to pay for a new OS, do I?
Thanks!

1. Yes, the T410 does support audio over Displayport
2. You could always make the R&R discs before installing the new harddrive or clone the harddrive.
Kind Regards

  • Need help with problem using sound and vibration examples. question repost

    I am generating a wav file using the sound and vibration example vi "SVXMPL_Wav Recorder(DAQmx)" using a ni 7422 board.  Then, using the example vi SVXMPL_Getting started with SVT(Simulated)" attempting to play back that file.  the wav file will load and play back on the graphs fine but when I click the "Play Wav File" which sends the audio to the computers speaker,  I get the error "Cannot recognise sound Format".  It plays the shipped example files fine.  I can also play the wav files I generate on a Windows audio player.  Don't know a lot about the sound and vibration toolkit or wav file formats but need to get these two to work together.  Using LV 8.5 and sound and vibration toolkit 4.0.  This is a bit of a repost of the same question ask last week but not answered.  Thanks

  • HDD and RAM Upgrade Questions...

    I am thinking about upgrading my HDD and memory. My computer is a Qosmio X870-BT3G23. HDD is about 1TB and also have 12GB RAM. I am not sure how to upgrade my RAM as I heard the other 2 memory slots are not user accessable. How would I go about upgrading HDD and transfer all my stuff over? I think my computer has slots for 2 HDDs, but not sure... Thoughts on both HDD and RAM upgrade appreciated 
    Qosmio X870-BT3G23

    Skeet, here are the SPECIFICATIONS for your machine if you have not seen them.  And on pages 44-53 of your User's Guide is a very thorough description of the adding memory process. As far as transferring files are concerned, at the Start screen, type Easy Transfer, hit Enter and follow instructions.
    The specifications indicate you can have 16GB memory in the two accessible memory slots without concerning yourself about the 2 hidden slots. I personally can't imagine why anyone could need more than 16GB memory and 1TB HDD but, of course, that's your call.

  • Ram and hdd upgrade questions

    Hay; i'm a apple newbe so forgive me if any of the questions are basic ones.
    I've been trying my hand at things like garageband using a emac that I purchased on ebay but would like to upgrade the ram and the hdd.
    Any answers to any of the below would be extremely helpfull - fyi, about this mac says I have a powermac6.4.
    Ram:
    Google says that my model can take 2gb of ddr333 ram but only 1 gb is supported; is there some kind of issue that arises when one installs more than 1gb?
    Also, should I get low or high dencity ram?
    Hdd:
    Installing ram seems easy enough, but instructions for installing the hdd seem to differ per site that I visit. Would someone be able to link me to some instructions for my model that are known to be correct?
    Idealie i'd like to put a 250gb drive in there, but i'm wondering if this would result in 48lba issues?
    Just out of interest, how much of a speed boost can I expect when going from 5400 rpm to 7200?
    Also, I have noticed that my apple is quite noisy; whilst it doesn't sound like a worringly noisy computer, how much noise of this is due to the harddrive?
    Thanks for any answers.

    Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions. No questions are too basic, as we all have to start somewhere.
    Emac models are best differentiated by the CPU speed.
    You can go to the Menu item  About this Mac will tell you the CPU speed.
    From what you have said it sounds like a later model eMac.
    is there some kind of issue that arises when one installs more than 1gb?
    No, it is just that when these eMacs came out the highest RAM module made at the 333 Mhz speed was 512Mb. Later the manufacturers made 1Ghz modules, thus doubling the capacity from the original specifications. Keep in mind there are two slots for these modules. 1Ghz X 2 = 2 Ghz maximum.
    Also, I have noticed that my apple is quite noisy; whilst it doesn't sound like a worringly noisy computer, how much noise of this is due to the harddrive?
    None of it is due to the hard drive. Hard drive noise is intermittent and barely noticeable. The noise is the roaring of the fan. eMacs are notable for their robust and noisy fan.
    Replacing the hard disk in an eMac requires quite some dissassembly.
    Someone else may post disassembly links as I my old ones don't work anymore, and you may also get more detail about your RAM questions.

  • WCS and Controller upgrade questions

    Hi,
    with the WCS should I install both the EXE file and the BIN fil or just the BIN file?
    Also, for upgrading the Controllers where can I find the ER file. I have downloaded the 4.2.209.0 image but, can't find the 4.2.205.0 ER.aes. Does anyone know where this is?
    where on the controller can I tell if I already have the ER file?
    Thanks, Pat.

    Hi Patrick,
    The link which i posted is for 4404.. for 4402 here is the link..
    http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=279911193&flowid=7586&softwareid=280926587&release=4.2.112.0%20BOOT&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
    The latest ER that we hav for 4402 is 4.2.112..
    Q1>> To get the software image I goto wireless, Wireless LAN Controllers,  standalone Controllers, Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controllers,  4402, Software on Chassis hten Wireless LAN Cotroller software, but  don't see the ER file.

  • Macbook 7.1 (mid-2010) RAM and hdd upgrade questions!

    Hello!
    In a bit of impulsiveness, I have just acquired a Apple laptop: a lightly used Macbook 7.1 (released mid-2010 and discontinued, 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo). This is my first Apple computer!
    I want to upgrade just a wee bit to squeeze a bit more performance out of what is currently probably a mid to low end laptop. Two questions:
    1) I know this Macbook takes 1066 MHz DDR memory. But I have two 2 GB sticks of 1333 MHz PC3-10600 DDR3 SODIMM. Can I put those in? Or do I have to get 1066 sticks?
    2) I'd like to put a 7200 rpm hdd in it. Will there be any potential issues with heat? (I'm assuming a 7200rpm drive generates more heat than a 5400rpm drive.)
    Thanks!!!!

    Faster RAM will have a great chance to lead to problems. If it works it will not be noticeably faster; The bus speed is still 1066. Ram being cheap I would either put in more ram and not faster ram, buy from high reputation suppliers like Crucial, OWC.
    The 7200 will not lead to problems, be sure that it is compatible, the fastest way to replace if you are using (snow) leopard OS: make a clone of the existing drive to the new one, boot from it when still outside, to test;  replace the internal disk with the new one, et voila...

  • Harddrive upgrade question

    I have an early '09 Macbook with a 160gb hard drive. I'm looking to upgrade the hard drive to a 500 gb hard drive, but I also plan on getting a Brand new Macbook Pro in about a year before going off to College for film editing. Basically I want to know:
    1. What kind of Hard Drive should I get? Someone point me in the right direction as to from where or so.
    2. Is the hard drive compatible with my older Macbook and the New Mac Book Pro's. Is there a set type or what?

    You can use any SATA notebook drive. Start at macsales.com. No doubt any notebook drive will be compatible with today's Macs as well as tomorrow's. You can find some reviews at Bare Feats, Storage Review, and Tom's Hardware Review.

  • Harddrive Upgrade Question: is my disk utility stalled out?

    I recently decided to upgrade my HD on my MacBook. I have an iMac that I decided to write a disk image of the MacBook HD to, in order to get my content on to the new drive. So I used my Leopard install disc to start disc utility and copy the HD image. Its been making read/write noises for about 4 hours now, but the mouse arrow has disappeared, the progress line appears frozen, and I'm wondering if it crashed. Anyone experienced this before?

    Well in my disk utility says that you can change the format in burning WINDOWS CDs. Or I'm understanding that wrong?
    That doesn't mean that you pre-format the CD; i.e. do something with it before you burn your data, as would be the case with a floppy or a new hard drive. Perhaps you're referring to the disk image you're creating?
    So I just copy that CD just like I do with my Mac CDs?
    That's what I do when I need to copy a Windows CD; I just make a disk image of it using Disk Utility, and then burn the image, just as I would a Mac CD. No need to create a blank disk image and then alter it's format. Just make the image directly from the CD you want to copy.

  • Weird pop sound after upgrading ram and harddrive

    I randomly got the pop sound after I upgraded my mac mini core 2 duo to 320 gb 5400 rpm harddrive and 4 GB ram (2GBx2GB).
    The sound is like a plastic click (similar sound when I the wireless mice hit the aluminum wireless keyboard) and it's quite loud.
    Everything works fine except the pop sound ,Im a bit worried.
    First I thought it was the hard drive problem so I copied the 3 GB music from the CD to the newly 320 GB internal HD with no problem at all ,no pop sound or click sound.
    Do you have any idea where the sound come from?
    Please help

    I will try to swap the 80Gb back .
    If the clicking sound disappear then it's the HD.
    No, that's not the best way to test it. Leaving the new drive in the system, try and copy a large file to or from it. What that will do is keep the drive busy for the duration of the file copy, and let you listen for the noise. If the noise continues while the copy is taking place, and particularly if it increases in frequency, it would suggest a problem with the drive that is not a simple matter of self-parking - in other words, would be suggestive of a faulty drive that you would likely be best not to trust at all (in fact return it).
    If the sound disappears while the copy takes place, then it suggests the noise is the self-parking activity, in which case as much as the noise is odd and even disturbing, it wouldn't suggest a fault or any real indication of imminent failure.
    It should be said that many drives used in early minis made the most alarming sounds, yet are still in regular use with no unusual failure rate. Indeed, one of the manufacturers concerned (Seagate) indicated at one point that over time the sounds would change and grow less prolific, which in my experienced turned out to be the case. In your situation therefore, I'd continue to use the drive, ensuring I had an adequate backup routine of course, and see what happens!

  • The ipad2 suddenly have no sound, and I have upgrade to 4.3.3. Still nothing

    The ipad2 suddenly have no sound, and I have upgrade to 4.3.3. Still nothing

    Obvious question, but do you have the 'system sound mute' switch set to on?
    Do you get any sounds when you play music?

  • Upgrading ram and harddrive before turning on macbook for the first time?

    Hello, I'm totally new to the world of Macs. I am for sure going to purchase a Macbook, but I feel it might be better to upgrade ram and harddrive through third party. I have never upgraded ram or a harddrive, but it seems easy enough after watching the video at macworld and reading instructions. My question is:
    Should I install the ram and harddrive before I turn on the macbook for the first time? Would this make things any easier? Would this be a bad thing to do?
    I plan on ordering both the macbook and the ram and harddrive on the same day. Which is basically why I was wondering.
    Thank you!

    Welcome to the discussions!
    I agree fully with Ned. You will want to power it up and run the setup and even do your data transfer and maybe even install a program or two before doing any upgrades at all.
    Why?
    Updating the OS tests your Airport or ethernet connection.
    Migrating data over by FireWire or USB tests those connections.
    Installing programs from CD will test out the CD drive.
    You will also get a feel for the baseline performance and have something to compare it to once you do those upgrades.

  • HT204053 i want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is

    I want to change my icloud id on my iPhone, but it won't let me now that i have upgraded.  I no longer have the password and the problem is It is using an old id which the email isn't valid and the security question does not think my birthday is valid.  I cannnot delete the account because "find my iphone" wants the password linked to this old account.  But when i go into the find my iphone app it is using my corect Apple ID.  How do i fix this?

    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then  on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

  • When downloading from a Sony minidisc video camera, the picture is downloading but without sound.  Previously, it had downloaded successfully both sound and picture.  I have subsequently upgraded to Lion X (10.7.4).  Is there some problem with the driver?

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • IMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.

    iMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.
    Help.

    Your iMac is actually turning ON as proven by the grey folder with the flashing question mark.
    The flashing question mark indicates that your system is unable to find a bootable volume. The clicking sound that you hear is probably coming from your hard drive while it tries to recalibrate. I suspect your hard drive has failed.
    What model imac do you have? If it's under warranty I suggest taking it in for service. Hopefully you've been maintaining a regular backup of your data as all users should. I lost my data once and it was a valuable lesson. I back up regularily now.
    If your iMac came with install disks then you can boot from them, choose your language when asked, then pull down the Utilities menu to launch the Disk Utility application. The Disk Utility application will allow you to verify whether your hard drive has an issue. Usually a clicking sound, assuming it's coming from the hard drive, is a sign of a bad hard drive.
    If your system has Lion installed then you can hold down the Command and R keys when you restart the system, then launch the Disk Utility application from the menu that appears.
