Hate to part with my T41 but.....

Microsoft XP support ending April 2014 and my 23739FU T41 won't run Windows 7 or 8 and I don't like Vista so I am forced to replace my bullet-proof T41. I don't know how to keep it and make upgrades to update O.S.. Don't know which Thinkpad to buy so starting with basic QUESTION: Has Lenovo kept the solid look and feel of the T41 keyboard? The key relief and rock solid feel of the T41 keyboard is a favorite attribute of the model. I don't like the "mushy" and flat feel on keyboards of some other makes like Dell. Can anyone here tell me if and how the keyboards on newer Thinkpads compare with my 2004 vintage T41 23739FU?

I wouldn't part. The new computers are not being made as well as these old puppies. Why can't the T41 run Windows 7? Seems it should be able to. I am using two T30 laptops as my baseline. One of them has 1.320 Terrabytes with an ultrabay SATA drive. You can't do anything like this with the new laptops.
Also these old laptops can be opened and maintained, not like the sealed new ones. Other than processor speed I don't see any reason to part.
Instead buy another T41 and have two duplicate machines in case one goes down. The other thing is all your S/W apps can be preserved.
A couple of things here...
a) No one should part with a working ThinkPad BUT they should also be fully aware of the platform's limitations. Using a decade old T41 as one's main computer in 2014 is likely to cause headache.
These units will run both Vista and W7. The problem is that for any remotely serious application apart from being a glorified typewriter the lack of proper graphics driver will be more than noticeable.
b) T30 was the last ThinkPad that felt it could survive a nuclear blast. However, in real life terms it's even more outdated than T41.
I personally own several "outdated" units such as X24, A31p and T42p. While all of them are still perfectly functional and kept in good physical and running condition none is used as a main computer...
c) Newer machines such as T420/520 and W520 can actually utilise 3 drives at the same time - mSATA SSD in the appropriate slot, one drive in the main bay and one in the ultrabay so they can do better than the old ones in the respect of storage.
d) I can't say much about *30 and *40 generation since I've never had any of them - and have no intentions of ever owning one - but the *20 and previous series are easy to work on and not sealed in at all.
My advice to OP still stands - look into T61 series, preferably a 14" SXGA+ unit with Intel graphics - and you'll feel almost at home. Let the T41 enjoy its well-earned retirement. Nothing is stopping you from utilising it casually.
Happy ThinkPadding and good luck to all.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then. Is there a way to fix this?

I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first. If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen. Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

some pictures(jpeg or gif) come as part of email if i use IE9 these images open as part of the mail, but with firefox i have to download them separately and then they don't appear in email. i have been in the options menu and allowed yahoo.com to automatically load images but this has had no effect, thanks

Sounds like you did this on the fly.

Compound filtering xslt list view web part with _dopostback using javascript/jquery

Hello,
I am filtering list view web part as same as the below post,
http://dcsharepointchick.blogspot.in/2013/05/filter-sharepoint-list-with-partial-postback.html
here I need to filter the web part with some another condition . I am trying to write another condition in filter attribute of _doPostback(), but it doesn't work.
Please let me know is there any alternative to achieve compound filtering.
Regards,
Balakrishna M.

Hi Balakrishna,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to filter the list view web part with more than one filters.
I recommend to use the OOB Choice Filter web part to achieve this goal.
Edit the page where the list view web part exists and then add the Choice Filter web parts to the page based on your need.
More reference:

Or you use the List Filter Plus Web Part to get the function.

Question: any recommendation on how to delete (or group to folder) numerous duplicates in iPhoto. I create a folder, only to find it empty, and the photos in another unrelated folder, sometimes combined with those photos but other times bumping that alb

Question: any recommendations on how to delete (or group to folder to burn) many duplicate photos in iPhoto? I had considered using D Annhilator, but I saw several comments re: same to make me rethink this. I have thousands, literally, duplicates. It's like they reproduce overnight. I cannot get a reasonable explanation re: why this is happening. I thought I would start with "albums" and try to drag those to a burn folder, but that will take a long time. I hate to mess with "library" or "events" at this time. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Error Installing ERP2005 on Red Hat 4es Linux with Oracle

Normally I only install SAP for customers on Unix boxes or WIndows, but I was asked for a customer to do an installation on Red Hat 4es 64bit. It will be a Sandbox system for the customer. ERP2005 with Oracle.
But after some issues on shared objects when I wasn't able to start the sapinst, cause there was no JRE installed, but has been installed after this (version 1.4.2.13 for linux). I now run into the following issue when ./sapinst is running and me trying to start the ./startInstGui.sh I get the following :
java.lang.RuntimeException: invocation target exception: /usr/java/j2re1.4.2_13/lib/i386/libawt.so: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
both files are there, JAVA_HOME had been set, java had also been set as path, but when I do a file on the files it gives me:
[root@su49tas1 lib64]# file libXp.so.6.2
libXp.so.6.2: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
[root@su49tas1 i386]# file libawt.so
libawt.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
looking at this there might be a conflict on version, but the libXp.so comes from the RH install cd and the libawt.so comes from the jre1.4.2.13-rpm.bin file downloaded from the java sun website.
strange thing is that I cannot find a 64bit version so that might bring down my thoughts on version conflict.
Hopefully someone had had this same issue also and had solved it, but also other input which might help me solve this is appreciated.
cause this is turning my head for a day and night
cheers

K9N2 Diamond works with X2 3800+ but not Phenomii 940 with updated BIOS

The system in question.
MSI K9N2 Diamond Current BIOS 7375v 2.6, have also tried 2.5, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2
AMD Phenom II 940
2X 2Gb Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5
Antec True Power 750 Watt P.S.
EVGA Nvidia GTX 260 GPU
W.D. 300Gb HDD
This system is about 6 months old. When I put this system together for my brother in law, he ordered the parts with the intention of using his old mobo but didn't realize it didnt support the phenom chip he ordered. SO rather than waiting for another ordered part we took a trip to our local Comp USA. K9N2 Diamond said it was phenom 2 ready, yeah ok. Anyway after a few hours of going crazy trying to figure this out for him I found out it wasn't phenom2 capable till you updated the BIOS with an older CPU. Lucky for us I use an X2 3800+ in my machine. So I popped my chip in and ipdated his BIOS with the USB drive tool. Everything seemed right with the world then.
Now he brought the PC over for me to install Windows 7 64 bit for him. Did the install and was tracking down the few drivers Windows 7 missed and ran across Live update 4 for drivers and utilities. Should have known better but I went ahead and let it update the BIOS to 2.6. Sure enough, the CPU and GPU fans cycle on and off with no post. Check this post as his issues are identical to the ones I am experiencing. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133615.0 Now they never resolved this guys issue and it looks like he just RMA'd the board.
So I started narrowing down the possible issues. First thing I did was find the MSI USB Flash Tool again and put BIOS 2.2 back on with my 3800+ back in his machine. Machine worked with every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 installed with USB tool with my 3800+ in his machine but would not post at all with all BIOS versions and his phenomII. Every time his CPU is in the machine, when the power is turned on the CPU and the GPU fans both go to max RPM then turn off over and over. Cleared CMOS multiple times. I know the clear was working when I put my 3800+ in it would state the time was reset in BIOS. Pulled everything out but one stick of RAM and same thing, posts with 3800+, nothing with phenomII. Tried the other stick of RAM although it passed both a memory test with USB tool and memtest with 3800+ installed. Same. Pulled CoolMax 750W PS from my machine and put it in his. Same issues. No post with PhenomII, posts with 3800+. Now this is with NOTHING but a stick of known good RAM, PS, Mobo, CPU and CPU fan. Using onboard video. All other drives, fans, pci devices, ect are disconnected.
So now I have 2 machines in my office all taken apart as I do not want to have to button my machine back up just to tear it back apart in case I have to do more to his Mobo with my CPU. I would rather not have to RMA the board if I do not have to like the guy in the link to the post I put up above.

I understand the need for future proofing mainboards as much as possible. What I am not ok with is the labeling on the box stating the board is PhenomII ready when in fact it isn't ready unless you have an older CPU that you can use to flash the BIOS to make it ready. Plus, if Live Update is the POS that everyone makes it out to be on the forums, why is it the first option on MSI's website for driver and BIOS downloads? MSI's USB Flash Tool is probably one of the easiest things I have ever used to update a BIOS, why not have that as the first option?
Anyway, I managed to talk a buddy into bringing his rig over to help me figure this out. Replaced his 965 with the 940 in question and it fired right up in an ASUS M4A785-M mobo. Tried the memory and PS in his rig as well just to triple check them and they were also good. Put his 965 in the K9N2 Diamond after making sure the BIOS was version 2.6 with the 3800+ and did not fire up with his 965 in the socket.
So a quick recap.
940 and 965 PhenomII will not post in the K9N2 Diamond but the 3800+ will.
All three post in the M4A785
tested memory by using only the slot closest to CPU in K9N2 on stick at a time. Both sticks work in the K9 with the 3800+ and both sticks work in the M4A785 with all three CPU's.
have tried every BIOS version from 2.2 to 2.6 using the MSI USB Flash Tool with the 3800+ in the K9N2.
Have cleared CMOS multiple times with the power cord out and holding down the On/Off switch for 20 seconds to discharge the caps before clearing. After every clear the next successful post says that the BIOS time needs to be updated.
P.S. works on three different rigs.
Any ideas or suggestions? If I must RMA than I must. But it works with the 3800+ so there has to be something firmware wise that is causing this.

Procure KIT with Purchase order but 15 different materials - how?

Hi SAP MM Guru's,
I have a requirement
There are 15 different mateirals which are maintained in Material master seperately with different numbers but all will have to be procured from one vendor same time and issue is each material is consumed on the production order and have different safety stock levels and cannot be purchased independently as vendor also sells them in one KIT/BOX which has all these 15 parts?
how can anyone will know when ordering these parts need to be on same PO? and need to do GR and Transfer order and pick TO and GI done in one transaction rather than 15 times?
Thanks and Appreciates everyone time and help.
Regards,
Siva Darbha

Hi Ram,
Thanks for quick reply.
Created material called KIT and i need to use this mateiral KIT on the PO ME21N? how can buyer will know this has BOM or 15 sub parts within it and when i receive i need to receive as 15 parts or one part but will go to different bins?

Unbale to create new document part with same document number

Number range assigned to the X Document Type is internal. I have created new document (0001) with Document Part 000 & Version 00. For same Document Number when i tried to create New Document part by mentioning Document Numner 0001, Document Part 001 and Version 00, it says Document Type X can be assigned to internal number range only.
Even I tried with following selection....
Document Number = Blank
Document Part = 001
Document Version = 00
Template:
Document = 0001
Document Part = 000
Document Version = 00
Now system is creating document with new number i.e. 0002. But we want to create another document part with same Document Number. What is the problem with internal number range for Document Number?

Hi Pradeep,
Following are the config parameter of the document type.
CM Relevnce = blank
Number assignmt= 01
Internal Number Range =02
External Number Range= blank
Number Exit =MCDOKZNR
Vers. No. Incr. =0
Version Sequence = blank
AlternativeScreen = blank
Let me know if you need anything more.

Remove or isolate part with JavaScript?

Hi folks,
as you know you can remove or isolate parts in the modelhierarchy with a few clicks. Now I want to do exacactly the same with JavaScript to add this function to a button or something similar.
So I can have a button like "show part xy" and only this part is shown in the 3D view and other parts are not visible.
Is there any chance to do this?
I think there's a workaround with creating an animation like an exploded view where certain parts are removed. But a simple funtion would be much more easier I think.
thx in advance,
Tobias

Hi,
I didn't check whether the following code actually compiles and works, but maybe it does what you're trying to accomplish...
[3D annotation JavaScript code, associated with the container for Your embedded U3D model]
function makeAllMeshesInvisible ( )
var howManyMeshesInScene = scene.meshes.count;
for ( m=0; m < howManyMeshesInScene; m++ )
var myMesh = scene.meshes.getByIndex(m);
console.println("Making mesh " + myMesh.name + " invisible.");
myMesh.visible = false;
function makeMeshVisible ( meshName )
var myMesh = scene.meshes.getByName(meshName);
if ( myMesh )
myMesh.visible = true;
else
console.println("There is no mesh named " + meshName);
[Document JavaScript code, e.g. associated with a button]
// getAnnots3D(pageNum)[annotIdx]
context3D = getAnnots3D(0)[0].context3D;
context3D.makeAllMeshesInvisible();
context3D.makeMeshVisible("nodeName");
Please note that the 3D viewer must be active for the button to work properly...
I hope it works and helps!

Web part with managed navigation terms

So I decided to use managed navigation feature for a site I'm working on, however as a requirement, there's a need to have three different sections of navigation (top, side, bottom) and because of the limitation to use only one term set as managed navigation
on each site collection, I decided to create two web parts to fulfill the requirement (side and bottom). It's important to mention that the same manageability provided to the top navigation bar with termset is required for this other two sections.
When I edit the page to test the web parts, the side web part works just fine, but when I add the bottom web part, the top navigation bar and the ribbon stops wroking, meaning, all buttons on the ribbon are disabled and the second level of the navigation
top bar isn't showed. The only difference between this two webparts is that in the side web part I use an ASP control tree view and populate it, meanwhile, in the bottom web part I create those tree views dinamically.
Here's the code for the bottom web part:
            TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(SPContext.Current.Site);
            TermStore store = session.TermStores[0];
            Group group = almacen.Groups["Nav"];
            TermSet termSet= group.TermSets["Bottom"];
            NavigationTermSet navTermSet = NavigationTermSet.GetAsResolvedByWeb(termSet, SPContext.Current.Web, StandardNavigationProviderNames.GlobalNavigationTaxonomyProvider);
            foreach (NavigationTerm navParentTerm in navTermSet.Terms)
                TreeView tree= new TreeView();
                tree.ID = "tvData" + navParentTerm.Title.Value;
                tree.ShowExpandCollapse = false;
                TreeNode parentNode = new TreeNode(navParentTerm.Title.Value);
                parentNode .NavigateUrl = navParentTerm.TargetUrl.Value;
                parentNode .ToolTip = navParentTerm.HoverText;
                tree.Nodes.Add(parentNode );
                foreach (NavigationTerm navTerm in navParentTerm.Terms)
                    TreeNode childNode = new TreeNode(navTerm.Title.Value);
                    childNode.NavigateUrl = navTerm.TargetUrl.Value;
                    childNode.ToolTip = navTerm.HoverText;
                    tree.Nodes[0].ChildNodes.Add(childNode);
                tree.CssClass = "BottomMenu";
                pnlLinks.Controls.Add(tree);
Thanks in advance.

WLC 5508 with AD, NPS but without GPO, how?

Hi,
I didn't found anything related to what I'm trying to do so I though I would create a new discussion...
I would like to setup a new WLAN and to be able to connect, a user will have to enter his username/password that will be confirmed using NPS and Active Directory. The problem is, I don't want to use a GPO, I would like to only verify if the user is a member of a AD group, let's say "wlan_access".
I don't want to install anything ( certificate, GPO, creating a WLAN configuration ) on the user's PC/laptop, only AD validation using NPS as a Radius server.
If a user is part of that AD group, after he enter his credential he will have access to that WLAN.
Is it possible to setup that? How should I configured the WLAN in my WLC 5508 ( running 7.2.110.0 )? How should I configure NPS ( Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise )?
Thanks a lot for your help and answers.
Guillaume

Hi guys,
With the info Stephen Rodriguez gave, it looks like I won't be able to do what we want without doing config on the user's devices ( laptop, ipad, etc.. ).
@Joseph Vasanth Louis Yes the message is from the event viewer of the NPS server. In the connection request policies, there's not much config, I let the option "Authentication Methods" in the tab Settings uncheck, so it won't override the settings in the Network Policies.
I though it was possible to have authentication using NPS and Active Directoy without installing anything on the user's devices and still having a secured wireless network ( not like a hotspot ).
The solution I think is the most workable is with the PEAP or PSK, with a certificate but even that...the user will have to create the WLAN profil on his laptop, so I'm not sure we want to go that way. I'll check for the PSK option, to see if the "Web Authentication" could be done using NPS.
Thanks guys for all your time and help. I'll continue my tests and keep you posted.
