Dropped my S230u twist and trying to fix it

Hi A few months back my thinkpad s230 u twist machine fell off a cushion (couple of feet off) and then when tried to use it, it would boot up but then freeze. Now when I try and boot it tries to go to auto repair, then get a blue screen saying Your PC needs to be repaired. A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed. Error code: 0xc0000185 Youll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you dont have media like disco or usb, contact your sys admin or pc manufacturer Options then are Enter to try again, F8 for startup settings , and Esc for UEFI Firmware settings I can find a win 7 recovery file on lenovo but not win 8, not sure if I should try and use the win 7 file and how I do so, or if I should do something else. I believe it has a SSD drive and a hard drive, and is windows 8 pro (touch machine and sticker on machine says windows 8 pro) Suggestions/advice welcome Thanks S

Hello and welcome,
SInce this started with a fall, it migh be worth opening things up and re-seating the cache SSD and the hard drive.
It isn't difficult on these machines. The Hardware Maintenance Manual will help.
It may not be the fix but IMHO it's worth a shot.

My iMessage won't activate. Started about an hour ago. Noticed it was sending green and tried to fix and now it won't register my apple email or anything. It is gone!!! All the iMessage emails and says it is a network

SO I noticed that my messages just stopped completely. Then I tried to send one out and it turned green. I got no response from the receiver. Now I tried to go to iMessage to reset as using my apple email. It wouldn't even reset to using any email. Said I had a network problem. Everything else on the phone is working fine. This all started about an hour ago. I powered the phone down. I did a reset. Nothing. Any suggestions??? I noticed on the forum that another person started having the same problem about an hour ago?? Did apple explode finally? My husbands phone is green also. My sons is blue and he has a 4s. My husband and I have 5's. any help would be great!!! I think I have tried everything

There are server problems right now with iMessage effecting some users. See http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/.

Spry Menu not dropping down in Firefox and Chrome

Hi -
I am not a professional and having difficulty. I have inserted a spry menu bar in CS5 and it looks fine in IE, but doesn't drop down (can see a little bit) in firefox and chrome.
I read a bunch and tried a fix to make the overflow visible, that fixed the problem but my formatting of locations of other areas went wild.
The site is: http://www.tucsonrealpros.com
.....any help is much appreciated...been pulling hair out

Hi,
I have tried the site and can see the drop down for Home search, Buyers.
Can you try to update the chrome and firefox.
Thanks and regards

When I open Firefox my screen resolution changes and when I fix it on the computer it auto changes back in 10 seconds. I looked at the compatibility and nothing is checked. This started out of nowhere.

I have used FF for about a year on my Dell Inspiron 15 and now every time I open it the resolution changes on me. If I close FF everything goes back to normal resolution. No problems with other browsers just FF. I went into the properties and tried to fix the compatibility but nothing was checked. I checked for any new updates that happened automatically but there haven't been any for days before this started. I have all my Grad school bookmarks on FF and I don't want to uninstall.

This can be a problem with the localstore.rdf file.

Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.<br />
Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox (File > Exit/Quit) to save that setting.

Supported Dual Band Wifi Card for s230u Twist?

I just bought the s230u Twist and realized that the Intel 2230 wifi card is *not* dual band (2.4 GHz only). I also realize that the BIOS has a whitelist for mini-pci cards and need to know if there are any dual band cards that are supported. Thanks.

Hey there guys,
Jccheng, the ThinkPad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0) is a dual band adapter that is compatible and comes as upgrade with the ThinkPad Twist s230u. The 802.11a only runs on a 5Ghz Frequency, and the 802.11n can run on either. I have listed all the adapter options with part numbers below:
04W3763 Cybertan BCM43228+BCM20702 abgn WLAN & BT 4.0 Combo (ThinkPad a/b/g/n)
04W3764 Liteon BCM43228+BCM20702 abgn WLAN & BT 4.0 Combo (ThinkPad a/b/g/n)
04W3765 Intel 2x2 11bgn + BT4.0 Combo Jackson Peak1 (Centrino 2230)
As an option, you can call the Lenovo Contact Center, 1-800-426-7378, for a Parts Only order. Hope this helps!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

You make an appointment at the genius bar of your local Apple Store and get it serviced/replaced. You broke it. If you can't even force a reboot, there's nothing much more you can do.

My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help

My iphone 4S wont allow me to restore a bckup of icloud it has just rebooted the os and for over 24 hours i have been trying to fix it i use this phone for my job so i need help. when i try to restore it says "Your iphone could not be activated becuase the activation server is unavailable, If the problom presests goto apple.com/support" It has done this for 27 hours now PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!

- Connect the iPod to the computer and see if iTunes sees it. If it sees it try to get the photos off the iPod.
- Next let the battery fully drain. It will likely take days. After charging for at least an hour try again
- Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Just got new air and trying to set up. When I put in my Apple ID and password it comes up with error message 'can't sign in because of server error. Try again signing on.' Trying again does not fix. I know my ID and PW are right as work on other devices.

My bionic has started having my calls hang up unexpectedly and tries to dial calls during a call by my face touching screen I guess, can I fix it?

This started about 2 weeks ago, when I get calls they either can't hear me and we gotta call back, or during a call my screen lights up and either my face causes it to hang up or phone does, or it try's to dial another phone number for me, it tried an international number, I can not afford this for sure, but I have cleaned senors and screen per protocol and tried updates. At the same time my camera started only focusing every now and then, it doesn't alert me for some of my calls and texts randomly, and starts to make a call on its own while it is sitting on a table with no one touching it, is it me and my phone or is others having these issues and can I fix them?

osubuckeyebest, I am sorry to hear about your phone issues! How long has this been an issue for you? Is there any physical or water damage to the phone? Have you tried to do a master reset on the device http://bit.ly/RFtIqk ?^SP

Solving the iTunes Installation Problems in Windows
1. Apple has posted their solution here: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows- Unable to install or open - MSVCR80 issue.

I have an iPhone 4 that i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access all my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? It is also on the same apple id, but i dont know if that would help with anything.

I have an iPhone 4 thats i was trying to fix and now it will not turn on at all is there anyway that i can access my pictures and contacts from my new phone or pc? Aslo the are both on the same apple id but i dont know if that would help or not.

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix.

Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

Hi there
I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
Good luck
