How can I find out if I need a BIOS update?
I have a Yoga 2 Pro. How can I find out if I need to update the BIOS?
Solved!
Go to Solution.
If it ain't broken, don't fix it. This is expecially true with the BIOS.
Unless you are trying to fix a particular issue and you believe a new BIOS will help, don't touch it. The BIOS is one thing that can brick a computer should something go wrong during the flashing process.

After installation it told me to update or research several plugins. I updated Silverlight and JAVA. I was instructed to shut down and restart my computer to test the JAVA installation. I did this and the installation is fine. At this point I no longer had the screen with the list of plugins that need updating or researching.
THis is probably the page you saw.

You can also access it from the Firefox menu by clicking "Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins" and then clicking the Find Updates button at the bottom. -
I go into a wiki created by my employer, and get the bar at top of page almost immediately telling me there are plugins needed. I click the button offered for finding plugins, and almost immediately am told no suitable plugins are found. Plugin help offered is useless, because I have no idea what plugins I need to look for. How can I find out what plugins are being detected as "missing"?
If there is no LR edits to keep, or if you don't want to keep the existing edits, you could delete the files from LR and import them again.
Since the file names on disk and file names in LR don't match, you will need to manually match them up by hand individually, if you want to keep the existing LR edits.
The easiest approach to this -- without doing any script programming -- is to go into each directory, one at a time:
Select the correct folder in the "folders" pane. Right-click "show parent" as necessary to see the directory tree.
Sort the LR Library by creation date.
Using the details view in File Explorer, sort the files by creation date (add to the viewed columns if necessary).
Assuming no more than 1 image per second, the files should line up. -
Suppose that several VIs running simultaneously on the same computer. How can I find out the names of the running VIs, from another VI?
If the already running VIs are clones of the same basic VI, open and run with the option "Prepare to call and forget", how can I find out the names and index of each clone?I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them. I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory. I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods. [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.

How can I find out what calendars are in my .mac account?
A simple question, but I am struggling with the answer.
I have used ical since it first came out and have found it brilliant and very easy to use and access both from the office and also from home. However because I have used it for so long I have had various changes in staff. I am keen to find out if there are any 'other' calendars created by anyone who has/had access to ical via my .mac account.
The calendars must be stored somewhere online? How can I find out what calendars I am hosting?Hello, chunnyb.

How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK?
How can I find out the screen size of the users moniter using the Acrobat SDK? I need to know how much sreen real estate that is available on the users moniter. Is there some call that I can make from the SDK to discover the maximun X and Y coordinates?
Thanks,
GregoryCurrently, I am testing on multiple moniters and it is defaulting to the moniter designated as the #1 moniter. For our purposes, this is acceptable. Once the two documents have loaded, the user can move and re-size at will.

How can I find out the apn number of the battery without having it?
I dont have the battery of my iphone 5 anymore but how can i find out the apn number of the battery? I would like to change it but i need to know the apn number to choose the right battery.
Apple does not provide any user-serviceable parts (other than accessories or sometimes a SIM card tray).
Therefore, there are no legitimate iPhone batteries available for sale anywhere.
Anything you find will either be salvaged, counterfeit, or stolen. -
How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?
How can i find out the file size of a Keynote on an iPad please?
I think a rule of thumb is what you're looking for.
Full bandwidth CD audio (AIFF): about 10 MB/min
Apple Lossless: about 5 MB/min
MP3 @ 256k: about 2 MB/min
MP3 @ 128k: about 1 MB/min
Of course the MP3 file size is exactly linear with bit rate.
As for sound quality:
Apple Lossless is, as the name says, lossless.
MP3 @128k: fine for listening in the car or the kitchen etc. If you have an audiophile sound system, this will remind you why you spent all that money.
MP3 @256K: barely distinguishable from CD on very good equipment.
MP3 @320K: probably not distinguishable from CD.
I presume that since you're talking about importing classical CDs these are ones you own. Remember you can always do it again if you need higher fidelity or if better technology comes out. I import most CDs at 128k, since most of my MP3 listening is in the car, or walking, or as background. And I can always play the CD if I want to sit and listen.
The logic for purchased music is totally different -- you probably won't get to upgrade that without buying it some different way. So buying 128k MP3s (or AACs) is something you'll probably regret later. Buying 256k MP3s is a lot less problematic. -
How can I find out if a user has an active session
How can I find out if a user has an active session or sessionObject in the application Server.
When a user logs on to my web-application, I want him to be able to see a
list of all the other users that are also loged on. To do this I need to get a
list of all the session objects avaliable in the sever at that perticular moment?
In J2EE 2.1 I found the class "javax.servlet.http.HttpSessionContext" with the method "getIds()"
that returned all the session Id's. By using the method getSession(java.lang.String sessionId)
from the same class, you could then retrieve the sessionObject.
But these methods are depricated (and want to be able to use the
latest version of J2EE).
Is there any other way to do this?
I'm using JBoss application server.Check out HttpSessionListener -> http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/http/HttpSessionListener.html
Essentially what you have to do is implement this interface. You also have to register the listener in your web.xml, like this:
<listener>
<listener-class>
package.name.YourListener
</listener-class>
</listener>sessionCreated() will get called each time the app server creates a session and sessionDestroyed() will get called each time the app server invalidates a session. You could have a Map that contains all the active sessions, and a method for printing a list of all of the active sessions. -
How can I find out what my security answers are? I am trying to purchase an app on a new device and it won't let me without answering and I have totally forgotten
Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose. -
I have an iPhone 4S that is a replacement of a defective 4s. When I activated the newer phone, I believe I transferred over everything except pictures (had multiple failures trying to backup and restore). Now the phone shows over 3Gb of data backed up in the cloud from my old 4s. How can I find out what is in this backup? It is preventing me from backing up my new 4s to the cloud due to the amt of data. It may be duplicated info that I don't need or I may want to archive the backup or parts of it like pictures.
You can not access the backup directly.
Did you restore your replacement from this backup?
If so then you already have everything in the backup on your device.
If not, you can wipe the device and restore from this backup:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings
What is it you are worried about losing that isn't already on your current device? -
My Mac is telling me that my hard drive is almost full, i have used 7.65 GB for Audio. 16.58 GB for Movies, 9.89 GB for photos, 788.6 MB for Apps and 284.03 GB for Other. how can i find out what "other" is so I can delete it? I hope someone can help me.
If OS X is reporting you need to remove some items you obviously have a more severe issue.
To fix your issue is likely too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here as it sounds like a OS X issue, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state which may or may not require new hardware/software installed.
If your under warranty or AppleCare, take it in for service.
You can also hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
Have them look at your Wifi, RAM amount, extra storage and computer backup proceedures in the process.
Good Luck. -
I had water damage to my iphone5 when I was deployed w/ the military overseas. How can I find out what saved to icloud and how to see where my photos are. I don't know when it was able to back up as wi fi was pretty sketchy. please advise. thx in advance
My iphone is toast, I know I checked on icloud and see my emails from the day before it happened. Can I see when and what my phone backed up through itunes or icloud?
Please please help i am lost.This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
This is a picture of what it looks like now:

As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
any way to get around that? -
