Help needed with data security

I need to return my Thinkpad for service but I am concerned with security. For instance, my facebook account as well as other accounts log on automatically because the passwords are automatically remembered. How do I keep my confidential information safe while the laptop is in the technicians hands?
BTW, one of the problems that it has is that I cannot backup successfully with the lenovo application... I managed to get a backup completed with the windows backup program, but I'm not sure of it's integrity.
Please help me with this, Thanks!

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you suspect software problems.
The first thing the techs will do (probably) is re-image your HDD.  I hope you have you important data backed up somewhere - especially if you don't trust the Windows backup.
For that matter, if you do have software issues, restoring a full backup will also restore the problem.
You've probably already considered this, but just in case...

    So where it says yes thous are the vendors that people associated with them have to asses and where there's an X thous are the topics that the vendors have to be rated on . So if for example the first guy on the list Jxxxxxx yyyyyyf will asses TSSA , ORACLE, HP , IBM , MS , SAP  on the topic of Architecture and if you look at the second user nnnitha iiiiiah he would rate TSSA , ORACLE , INTERGRAPH on the topics of Relationship and performance  . Any idea how i could data model this to get my table structures right .so that features like completion status could be displayed to the user through APEX which can only be done by a correct data-model i have tried normalization but  i did go anywhere becauce there are so many variations any idea on how you would go about data modeling this would be greatly appreciated thank you    

    Not really an APEX specific question..  Maybe you should try posting this in the data modeler forum : SQL Developer Data Modeler

  • Major help needed with date problem

    hi everyone, I have been working on this problem for so long, my brain is completely fried, really. the part of the project I have listed is just one of larger program that I have all figured out; this is the last part and I am just struggling to come up with a start. I think i need to use a for loop, but not quite sure.
    HERE IS THE PROBLEM:
    (2)     Prompt the user for a premium amount (in dollars and cents, but assume the user does not enter the $ sign), a start date and an end date for a policy term, and an effective date for a policy cancellation. Dates should be entered with three separate prompts for year, month, and day, in that order. Month will be a number between 1 and 12, and year will have 4 digits. Assume any pair of dates is possible, between January 1, 1900 and December 31, 2200. You may assume that the user always enters a valid date. You may also assume that the user enters a start date that is before the end date. Assume the cancellation effective date is between the start and end dates. You may also assume that the premium amount the user enters is a valid number.
    (5)     Using the start date, end date, premium and a desired refund amount (entered by the user), calculate the cancellation effective date required to produce an amount equal to or slightly larger than the desired refund amount
    if anyone is looking for some major duke stars, please post here . . .

    (5)     Using the start date, end date, premium and a
    desired refund amount (entered by the user),
    calculate the cancellation effective date requiredto
    produce an amount equal to or slightly larger than
    the desired refund amountCan you describe in precise detail--clear enough so
    that somebody who had no idea about this problem or
    the process could do it--the steps you'd take to do
    this without regard to Java?If I understand correctly, you need to find out what percentage of their policy they want to use (the refund they want back tells you what percentage of the premium they want back, so the rest is what they want to use). Then use that percentage to calculate the number of days they would have to use the policy to get that refund (you already know the total days, so total days * percentage = days until refund). Then you just need to find out what day is that many days after the start day. that would be when they would cancel. Hopefully that makes sense. I am still trying to have it make sense for me. I can't figure out how to code this.

    Doesn't really help either of us very much but I'm also having the same problem with Elements 5. I downloaded the program so I don't have disks to reinstall. And it seems from the other reply that Adobe has given up with the "old program," which incidentally was working fine until two days ago. Maybe I'll have to think about PSE9!

  • Help needed with BBDM 5.0.1 IP Modem

    Hi I was happily connecting thru the Net via the IP Modem in BBDM ver 5.0.1 all this while. Only this happened yesterday. Accidentally during the connection, my 9500 was disconnected from the USB cable. From that moment on, I cannot access the Net using the IP Modem feature. Tried to reboot the laptop as well as the 9500 but now all I get is the connecting message and then a pop up saying there is a hardware failure in the connecting device (or modem) ie the BB 9500.
    I even uninstalled BBDM 5.0.1 and reinstalled ver 5.0 and also updated back to 5.0.1 - same story. I can still access the Net via the BB browser etc
    Advise please thanks in advance

  • HT5312 can you help me with my security questions?

    can u help me with my security questions

    If the information in the article you asked this question from doesn't help, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • Help needed with java

    Hello everyone
    I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
    here is my code so far:
    A Class that maintains Information about a book
    This might form part of a larger application such
    as a library system, for example.
    @author (your name)
    *@version (a version number or a date)*
    public class Book
    // instance variables or fields
    private String author;
    private String title;
    Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
    author = bookAuthor;
    title = bookTitle;
    Return The name of the author.
    public String getAuthor()
    return author;
    Return The name of the title.
    public String getTitle()
    return title;
    and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
    Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
    This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
    Add a second Constructor with signature
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
    this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
    Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
    Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
    Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
    Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
    public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
    Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
    Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
    However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
    If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
    Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
    Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
    Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
    Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
    Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
    Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
    Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text
    PS. sorry it looks so messey

    1. In the future, please use a more meaningful subject. "Help needed with java" contains no information. The very fact that you're posting here tells us you need help with Java. The point of the subject is to give the forum an idea of what kind of problem you're having, so that individuals can decide if they're interested and qualified to help.
    2. You need to ask a specific question. If you have no idea where to start, then start here: [http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html]
    3. When you post code, use code tags. Copy the code from the original source in your editor (NOT from an earlier post here, where it will already have lost all formatting), paste it in here, highlight it, and click the CODE button.

  • Help needed with Report Design

    Hi All,
    Here is the requirement.
    Period Type(holds 2 values) : Payment and Vested.
    we have field 'Total Days' which is calculated based on "User Selected" Period Type.
    For example, When Period Type is Payment,
    If start date is less than or equal to grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Grant Date)+1
    If start date is greater than grant date and end date is less than or equal to vest date, then calculation is (End Date - Mobility Start Date)+1 (similarly 2 more if conditions) ...we have similar calculation for Period Type - 'Vested'.
    This Period Type is a multiselect Prompt. How can this be achievable.
    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

    "Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
    Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
    -The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
    When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
    Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
    once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
    I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
    -When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    How do I make 5. render properly on vista

    We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue.  All is now mostly well.

  • Help needed with itunes

    help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

    (Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
    If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.
