Docking open T61p on the Advanced dock powers off the laptop

Hi,
I have noticed a weird problem with using the T61p with the advanced docking station. I undock the laptop and then close it, so that it goes into hibernate mode. Then a few hours later, if I open the laptop and work on it undocked. After that if I dock the laptop without going into hibernate, the laptop just powers off, i.e. as if the Power off button was kept pressed.
The laptop does not give the OS the shutdown command, just switches the device off. I am running Win XP professional.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? This causes all work to be lost, when the laptop is docked.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ivan.

Any luck with graphics cards on the advanced dock?

Looking for some advice on which graphics card to purchase for use with the Lenovo advanced dock. I've tried - unsuccessfully - to use the ATI Radeon HD 3650 from VisionTek. The dimensions were right and the card fits, but I'm having no luck getting it to work.
Has anyone gotten this or another ATI graphics card to work with the advanced dock? There is very little documentation on this. Do I have to downgrade the graphics card to the X1300? The HD 3650 has a better spec, incl 512Mb vs 256Mb on the X1300.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
-Roel.

I have a T61p with the FX570 internal card, 4Gb RAM, 80Gb HDD, running Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate edition. Since Vista (64) will only support one video driver, I had to remove the X1300 that I had in the dock for XP Pro (32). So I bought the FX570 (PNY VCQFX570-PCIE-PB 256M RT ) from NewEgg and dropped it in. In Vista, I had to delete the internal card from Device Manager and reinstall the Driver Suite from Nvidia. The Suite picked up both cards and I chose to use the Dock as primary. I did not have to change ANY BIOS settings, I left those alone. I used the card's CD to load the drivers, NOT Lenovo's. I do not use the NVidia Control Panel to change any settings, just Vista's Adapter Properties. Both monitors are running at full res (1920x1200 @ 32bit), both are DVI connected and both are 24" Dell's.
* I ran the exact same setup in Windows XP, with the execption of FX570, with no issue at all.*
* When you install the card in the dock, you will need to "tweak" it in the slot to move the fan away from the underside of the dock. If you don't the on-board fan will contact the dock and make a heck of a racket!*

I was trying to update an app but now I can't close it down. I have tried most things - it keeps saying I must close down the app but it doesn't allow me to do this. I have powered off the computer but it just comes back. Any suggestions?

I had been trying to update an app on my IMac and when it came to do it, it said I must close down the app site, in this case WeatherEye. However, I could not close it down and update says it is waiting. I have tried everything I know to get rid of this but it remains even when powering off the machine. Any suggestions?

open /applications/utilities/terminal.app and type: killall "Applicationname without .app"
open /applications/activity monitor.app press on the app thats buggin ya and press quit/force quit

Battery dsicharging even when the notebook is powered OFF

This is a new notebook, about 10 days old.I charge it to 100%, power the thing OFF (not sleep, full power off), and then after a day when i power it back on, battery is at 95% and the computer starts charging it.It's a 5% discharge in 24 hours.I thought Li-ion cells have a self discharge rate of 5% per month, not per day! Why's this happening? Is there something wrong with the notebook? PS: I have the USB charging option disabled in BIOS. And nothing is connected to the notebook while this is happening. The notebook is powered off, no accesorries connected, and stored in the backpack i got from HP. But still, the next day, i have 95% battery and the computer starts charging the battery again.

Every time I start iTunes I get the message: "iTunes exec has been set to run in compatability mode for an older version of Windows. Turn off compatability mode for iTunes before you open it." How do I turn off the compatability mode? Particularly when I have to do it before I turn on iTunes.

Try the following document, only be sure that none of the boxes in the compatibility mode tab are checked (not just the compatibility mode box itself):

A document page opens that is too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor

How do you fix a problem where document pages open that are too big for the display and runs off the end of the monitor? The borders are off the monitor so there is no window edge to grab and adjust.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

What is the reason I'd appreciate if you help how to fix it ...pleasa help me

Doing those doesn't turn off your phone?
As stated hold down the top button only until you see the red slider to power off your phone.
If that doesn't work then take it to Apple and see what they say.

The most anoying is this question for every site. Any help?

Uninstall the whole worthless "WebSense" product.
Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
I never install system modifications myself, and I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
Back up all data before making any changes.
You will generally have to reboot in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, the uninstallation may have no effect, or unpredictable effects.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
WARNING: Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

FAQ: UI - How can I change the color theme, size of the text, or turn off the application frame?

CHANGING THE INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME:
The Photoshop CS6 default interface is dark, but if you prefer the lighter interface you are used to from earlier versions,
you can change it back in the appearance area. There are 4 default color themes.
Mac Photoshop > Preferences > Interface
Windows Edit > Preferences > Interface
CONFIGURING LARGER FONTS:
For those who need larger fonts, you can also change the UI Font Size down in the type area.
Be sure to restart Photoshop to see the changes.
TURNING OFF THE APPLICATION FRAME
CS6 opens now by default in "Application Frame". You can go Window>Application Frame in the main meu and uncheck this

Select the title / text and then click on the "i" (inspector). A colored pin wheel shows up after you click on the square box directly below the font settings inside the inspector window. Then simply drag the dot to the color you want. Like this:

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of server

This past month I have been having problems connecting to my home wireless connection. I have a MacBook Pro OSX Version 10.6.8. Previously I had no problems whatsoever. I have tried unplugging the wireless router, turning off the wirless airport, deleting the network name from my list of servers and trying to reconnect this way. These methods have worked temporarily, but the same problem keeps coming back. Most of the time my personal wireless connection does not even come up among the list of available networks. My fellow flatmates have PCs and both of them are able to connect to the network without problem.
The router is a d-link model DIR-615. I am not tech savy, so if any other information need to be provided in order to better understand my situation, please let me know.
Please help me!

If I open the list of networks in a window it says "connection timeout," but if I just select it from the drop down it tries for awhile and then stops with no prompt. When I try to run network diagnostics it says "sorry, we can't connect to the internet" (or some solution-free variation of that)

As I scroll through a file, it drops to the bottom or flies off the side of my screen. It reopens when i click the file, but why is is flying off of my screen?

I am having a new issue with my Macbook Pro.
As I scroll through to review a file the file flies off to the side or drops off the bottom of the screen.
I can reopen the file okay but scroll 3 or 4 times and it whooshes off the screen again.
This has never happened before this morning.
I wonder if it is not a symptom of a bigger problem.
I have been downloading Shutterstock files for the last few days & have 100 images in the file that is acting up.
Could it be that the file is stuffed too full?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Shannon

I'm going to assume you don't have a fancy multiple monitor desktop...
This page contains a script that positions the browser window at the upper left. If Firefox is your default browser, then copy the following:
http://dev.jeffersonscher.com/jstest.html
and paste it somewhere that you can click it, such as a Word document or an email. If you have enabled the Run command on the Start Menu (more info: [http://www.nirmaltv.com/2009/01/15/enable-run-command-in-start-menu-in-windows-7/ How to Enable Run Command in Start Menu in Windows 7]) then you can simply paste it into the Run box and click OK to launch it in the browser.
If the script method doesn't work, you can use the slow method. With the Firefox window active, press Alt+Spacebar to open the control menu, then press the right arrow once, then press the left arrow repeatedly until the window comes into view. When you can see enough of it to be able to click and drag its title bar, press Enter to complete the move operation.
Any luck?

Quit the game and restart the iPad.
To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
If that doesn't work try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
