Have serious problems with X61s

Hello.
I faced some problems in the last two days with my laptop X61s .
First , everything was fine till I tried to connect and install my printer ( HP photosmart 7550 ) on Windows Vista Business edition ( the windows can't recognise the USB device ) .
So , I went to HP site and talked with some technician , and they told me that u have a problem with USB ports and they asked me to refresh the ports but nothing changed .
The problem wasn't solved with refreshing ports , so I Suggest installing Windows XP on my laptop instead of Vista ( using an external CD-ROM Drive ) , and while I was installing XP I got the blue screen and I couldn't go any further. So I tried to enter rescue and recovery menue to restore Vista Business edition but unfortunatly , I couldn't find that menu ( when I press the blue button of thinkvantage I get into the normal startup ) .
Some how I could manage to install windows XP , but still couldn't enter the rescue and recovery section . so I installed my Windows Vista ultimate edition on laptop . something was unusual , the hidden partition isn't hidden anymore .
And here I'm , with windows Vista , and many drivers aren't defined cause I don't have any CD for my laptop.
So i'm requesting your help to solve with my problems which are in brief :
1- Accessing the rescue and recovey section.
2- Solving the blue screen problem .
3- update USB ports to be able to recognize my printer ( my printer was tested on several PC and it's working )
4- Hide the secure partition .
Thanks in advance ..
Regards.

1- Accessing the rescue and recovey section.
If your ThinkVantage button no longer takes you to Rescue & Recovery mode, you probably deleted it when you installed Windows XP. To get the Rescue & Recovery partition back you need to call Lenovo and get a set of recovery disks.
2- Solving the blue screen problem .
This could be solved when you run the Lenovo recovery disks. If not, post back.
3- update USB ports to be able to recognize my printer ( my printer was tested on several PC and it's working )
Do you have any other USB devices with which to test the USB ports? Again, the Lenovo restore may help here by installing the right drivers, but the ports should work have worked with your standard XP and Vista Ultimate installs too.
Per the HP help, your printer is not going to be detected by the USB until you go through the procedure they describe.
4- Hide the secure partition .
What do you mean by secure partition? The Rescue & Recovery partition is hidden automatically. Or are you referring to a secure partition that you have created?
It sounds like a new laptop and should still be under warranty. You could just return it to Lenovo to be restored and tested...
Good luck drsziara!
I don't work for Lenovo. I'm a crazy volunteer!

Apple Have Serious Problems With 10.7.5

Apple have very serious problems with their software and they do not have the courage to openly admit this to their customers. My company has been dedicated to Apple and all that is good. We have 2 Imacs, I macbook Pro, 1 mac Mini, 1 mac mini server, 1 ipad, 4 iphones and peripheries. I am on the verge of placing them all on a heap and putting a sledgehammer to them all because I am certain that 10.7.5 is such a corrupted release that even Apple technicians cannot help. My company has been on more and more get around fixes that are becoming more and more complicated by the minute. For the last 4 weeks I have been working 8 to 8 daily including some of the weekends to try and fix things. I have had the pleasure (genuinely) of working for two days following a knowledgeable Apple Technicians instructions to resolve a cloud issue and as of today I sit with one imac completely unusable with all sorts of errors and malfunctions - all software based. Other symptoms on other hardware include error messages saying the computer restarted due to a problem with the computer - even though we are carrying out clean shutdowns or restarts; inconsistent acceptance of passwords to i cloud on most equipment but in particular as highlighted above; nearly all applications opening on restart (I do know how to shut that off - in theory!!!!!!!); frequent and very lengthy beachballs; keychain is an absolute mess, slowdowns to the extent that I have to work on three machines to get the minimum of work done; and other random malfunctions or error messages. Apple's positive attitude to its customers used to be second to none. It seems to me that software (and hardware) releases are now too rushed and Apple do not care about software failures but rely on customers to troubleshoot the glitches for them and do so under warranty or more likely care plan support at further cost to the customer.
Just look at all the questions being asked by customers via web searches on the above issues and more. Lots of questions, no reliable fixes, and certainly no interest shown by apple to resolve the issues - in fact Apple have adopted the say and do nothing approach.
I love the products and have been a loyal ambassador to Apple but now my stress level, and the inability of my company to engage its business put me on the verge of taking every item my company owns with an Apple logo and at least gaining some satisfaction by placing them all in a heap and smashing the lots with a sledgehammer (deliberate repeat as this is now a realistic option)
It used to be a pleasure to use the products, and efficient. I am not looking for help on these matters as an Apple technician is working very hard with us but I feel he is as frustrated as us. We are nowhere nearer resolving our problems and almost daily there are other glitches emerging.
Apple are losing their way. They must listen to the directions given them by their customers frustrations.

I am experiencing serious problems after downloading iOS 6. I am loosing my connection after a few seconds/minutes. What can I do? Can you come back to 5.1.1.? How can I do that?

You can't downgrade the iOS.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

I have serious problems with Muse swf files containing movies. How I can fix them?

I created swf format documents with InDesign. These documents contain movies in mp4 or flv format. When I put these documents in Muse I programmed processes work perfectly except the films, which are not displayed. I have observed that in the folder that is generated when exporting as HTML does not contain any video files swf containing original documents. Please, I need a solution. Thank you!

HT1904 I have serious problems with the payment type. I always use a prepaid Visa card but the late days I can't buy anything because the card is now unacceptable! Can you please help me?

My prepaid card is lately unacceptable..can you help me plz?

The iTunes Store typically does not take prepaid "credit" cards since they normally have no billing address associated against which to verify. Why the card worked before but not now I don't know, though Apple has been tightening up their security and that may have finally caught up with that card. You can try contacting the iTunes Store and asking if there is any way to use your card, but they may just tell you that it's not possible.

If it is not, then you will need to use a true credit card or purchase prepaid ITunes cards, if Apple has issued them in your country.

Help me please : Serious problems with collection-mapping, list-mapping and map-mappi

Hi everybody;
I have serious problems with list-mapping, collection-mapping and map-mapping.
Acording to specifications and requirements in a system I am working on it is needed to
get a "list" of values or an indivudual value.I am working with ORACLE 9i Database,
ORACLE 9i AS and ORACLE 9i JDEVELOPER.
I tried to map a master-detail relationship in an entity-bean, using list-mapping.
And this was very useful in order to get a "list" of details, ...but, when I wanted
to get a single value I have some problems with persistence, something about "saving a state"
despite I just want to get the value of a single detail.
I decided to change it to map-mapping and the problem related with a single detail
worked successfully, but I can get access to the whole bunch of details.
May anyone of you help me with that?
I am very confused I do not know what to do.
Have any of you a solution for that problem?
Thank you very much.

Hi Suzy Q,
I can send and receive calls.
I get "messaging stopped" when doing a lot of texts.
Texts come up "ghosted" meaning they have the text on the bottom and a transparent one overlaid on top. they then become one. But I get the ghosting most of the time when I go into a message from a contact to send a text.
When I go to call logs or text logs, the numbers come up first, and then then the names pop up randomly, meaning not in order down the page, until they are all shown. lots of lag time.
It runs slow.
I have 5 apps on here. I should be able to have a lot of apps on here, and play music, and have files, and...and....and.
I can get online but doing a Google search, when the page with the choices comes up, it is blurred and I have to tap on the screen for it to become clear and readable.
When online and scrolling, it hitches sometimes/lags/gets stuck then unstuck
I get VZWAVS has stopped. (not sure if those are the right letters)
The status bar that is supposed to be gray with the new update, goes back and forth between green--the old os--to gray. And I have found no continuity with when I get green or when I get gray.
I get a black screen on occasion.
sometimes the proximity sensor doesn't work.
sometimes when I have my bluetooth on and have "hands free mode" on, I get the a text message read through the headset and also through the handset.
I soft reboot often--turn it off wait a bit and

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

Serious problem with my iPod Classic/iTunes

I have a 6th Generation iPod classic (80 GB), and recently, I have been having some serious problems with it.
When I connect it to iTunes, there is usually no problem, it shows up, plays and displays the music correctly, etc. However, if I try to ADD any music to it, iTunes will freeze, then close, and within 5 minutes, my entire computer will freeze completely, and be shut off. For whatever reason, happen when my iPod finally disconnects because my computer turned off, all of my music is missing from the library (This doesn't happen every time it freezes, because I try to disconnect my iPod manually before everything freezes). The music is still on the iPod, (it says that I have XX.X GB of "other" instead of music/videos), but it doesn't show up. When I plug in my iPod, iTunes says that there was a problem and I need to restore it. The first time this happened, I lost over 5,800 songs, but I forgave Apple, because these things do occasionally happen, plus I had no idea what exactly went on. The SECOND time happened within the same week, after I had put 800 songs back on the restored iPod. The first time happened when I was using iTunes 10 (which is seriously buggy on my computer, and freezes often), so I switched to iTunes 9 (still buggy, but doesn't freeze quite as much), and the same thing happened. So now I'm thinking it's my iPod's fault. My iPod does a whole host of minor problems over time such as making certain songs cut off at a certain specific point for no reason (Always the same song, always the same cut off point, and I can't fast forward past it, I also can't delete the songs because if I highlight them on iTunes, iTunes will freeze, and if I find them under the music folder in iPod control, my computer will freeze), freezing the entire iPod for seemingly no reason, and somehow messing up my album artwork (it will appear as "Colourful Static"), along with alot more.
I know this is a troublesome problem, but if anyone could somehow shine some light on this problem, it would be tremendously appreciated.
Thank you

Unfortunately, when a hard drive starts clicking that means it's going bad. The mechanism is having trouble reading the drive. Since the iPod is mostly just a harddrive and a battery I have a feeling that this is your problem.
watch this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMm6c3fr-fU
about 25ss in is where the clicking starts. If it sounds like that, but softer and more muffled since it is a smaller drive that is being enclosed then I think you might be SOL. Maybe if you're iPod is still under warranty you can get a credit and go for a touch and avoid moving parts all together?

Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.
