How do I know if my T400 is with or without IEEE 1394?

My Lenovo automated diagnostics determined that the BIOS software on my T400 is flawed, and that I should download a replacement BIOS. 
The page that I am led to gives me a choice of two different BIOSes:  
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-74161&selectarea=SUPPORT&tempsel...
One choice is T400's "with IEEE 1394, Package 3.09-1.05" and
the other choice is T400's "without IEEE 1394, Package 3.10-1.05" 
How should I decide which BIOS to download?    
Thanks,  Bob W  31 Aug 10   1153 MDT. 
Solved!

Take a look at the front of the machiine, extreme left, just under where your wristwatch band is w/fingers on the keyboard.  There's a small socket there (to the left of the radio on/off switch) labelled "1394" if you have same.

  • How do I know which ssd is compatible with my MacBook Pro..

    My MacBook Pro would not boot up. Took it to the Genius Bar and found out that I need a new hard drive.  I want to replace it with a Solid State drive, but how do I know which one is compatible with my particular machine?
    <Personal Information Edited by Host>

    On a late 2008 MBP, you want an SSD that can handle Sata 1/2/3 so it can be used in this machine, and can be migrated all the way to a 2012 SATA machine. Machines later than 2012 primarily use PCIe flash and are not considered user-replacable.
    I have used a Samsung 840 Pro 256GB in a 2008 MBP. You can look at Crucial, OWC, Intel, Samsung brands.

  • I have some OLD software on my Mac Pro. How do I know if it will work with Snow Leopard? Currently I'm using 10.5.8.

    I have some OLD software on my Mac Pro. How do I know if it will work with Snow Leopard? Currently I'm using 10.5.8.

    Michael Wasley's link (wikidot) is as accurate as any I can find.
    It's still wise to check with the vendors' websites for compliance.
    Biggest source of problems seems to be printer and scanner drivers.
    Appleworks 6.2.9 works fine in SL under Rosetta (note; Rosetta is installed by default in Leopard - in SL you may have to select it from the optional installations).
    Check particularly with Adobe products; some you'd think should work ok suddenly don't.

  • How to synchronise IMAP address book in Thunderbird, with or without Kolab?

    I am setting up an IMAP account on my website's email, to use as webmail and on 2 laptops. As far as I can see, IMAP promises much but crucially fails to deliver. It does a great job syncing the emails in the three locations, but it is worse than useless having 3 separate address books all out of sync.
    The TB docs mention the SyncKolab add-on to sync the address books. But this is complex and frustrating. If it works at all, I can't puzzle out how.
    What syncKolab seems to do is to set up a new folder of the server called "contacts" and to place a message-form record in that folder for each address in the laptop address book. What good does that do me ...? Does this solve the problem in some way I'm not seeing? What I need is that the actual address book on the server contains the addresses on the laptops, and vice versa. I don't get it, how the server fold which Kolab creates, helps me. The server address book is not updated.
    I do not need calendar or task sync, just address book.
    With or without SyncKolab; indeed, with or without Thunderbird! how do I sync the address book on my IMAP server with my laptops?
    Many thanks
    Andy

    looking at the add-on, the idea is simple, use an imap folder for address book data, very similar to what Yahoo does with the Y!Messages folder to store their chat clients archived messages.
    install the add-on in two different Thunderbird installations and it uses that folder to synchronize the address book.
    These instructions look simple. http://www.gargan.org/en/Mozilla_Extensions/SyncKolab/Installation/
    All that would be left would be to modify the account in Thunderbird not to show that folder so it is not a distraction.

  • How do I know "Roaming Network" is working with Airport Express and Airport Extreme and should I use extended wireless network for third Express?

    Attempting to eliminate a dead spot in Wifi coverage [and implement AirPlay] have one Airport Extreme 802.11n and two Airport Express 802.11n's.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4145
    The Airport Extreme is of course connected to cable modem and Ethernet switch, and one Airport Express is connected to the Ethernet network. As per instructions for creating a "Roaming Network", Airport Express is set to same SSID, security type, and Password.
    Questions:
    1. How does the client device know which Airport to connect to? In other words, will it switch to the closer WiFi transmitter automatically? The WiFi reception problem is intermittent in the fringe areas so what I do not want it for it to stick with the more distant Airport Extreme in the basement when the Airport Express which is closer will work better.
    2. How can I tell which of the Airports the attached client device is using?
    The third Airport Express will be in a third location - I was planning on using it also for expanding coverage but after reading the warnings about performance suffering when purely using WiFi for the expansion in this location ("Wireless Extended Network" without an ethernet connection) I have figured that the single wired Airport Express will be adequate and will use the third Express to do Airplay only.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259
    Question: Can I use this second Airport Express to extend the wireless network via "Extended Wireless Network" while the other two are in "Roaming Netowrk" configuration? Without bogging down??
    Mitch

    1. How does the client device know which Airport to connect to?
    The Mac computer will automatically connect to the wireless access point with the strongest signal...which is probably the closest AirPort. An iPhone or iPad may not do this and will tend to stay connected to one AirPort.
    2. How can I tell which of the Airports the attached client device is using?
    On a Mac, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility. Click on one of AirPorts. In the area to the right, locate the AirPort ID and jot that down. Then do the same for your other AirPort.
    Move your Mac near one of the AirPorts and log on to the wireless. Hold down the option key on the Mac while you click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen. Look for the BSSID. That is the AirPort ID of the device to which you are connected.
    If you are close to the "remote" AirPort, and you see the AIrPort ID of the "main" router when you are testing, then you know that the network is not configured correctly.
    Can I use this second Airport Express to extend the wireless network via "Extended Wireless Network" while the other two are in "Roaming Netowrk" configuration? Without bogging down??
    There will be a modest 10-15% bandwidth loss with the "extend" setup, assuming that the Express is located where it can receive a strong wireless signal from the AirPort to which it is associated. You can avoid the bandwidth loss if the Express is also connected via Ethernet as part of the roaming configuration.

  • How did i know the version of Jiniator with Internet Explorer

    Hello,
    I want to know if a version of Jinitiator is installed with a dynamic page executed with Internet Explorer.
    I want a page to help users for install a new version of Jinitiator
    Regards

    No you're question wasn't to vague, I was able to get the basic idea of what you were asking.
    As for an automatic way to convert bat scripts to shell scripts, I won;t say there isn't something out there, out there is a big place, but I doubt it. As I wrote the differences between the systems make a direct conversion difficult.
    On OS X you have two choices for scripting, shell scripts and Applescripts. Shell scripts are your basic Unix command files, are created in a text editor and run from the Terminal command line.
    Applescripts are created with the Applescript editor, have a tighter link with OS X, and are run from the GUI.
    (all of that is very basic and there are exceptions to what I wrote but that is the intro version)
    If you have a script from Windows that did something that you would like to have done on OS X you can transfer the what but not the how. That is you can do the same thing (automate backups in this case) but how you go about that will be different.
    If you;re intereested in learning scripting on OS X (either shell or Applescript) this could be a good project to start with. You know what you want you just have to figure out how to do it in OS X now. If this is the case I'd suggest you start a new thread in the Mac OS X Technologies group. That is where scripting is usually discussed.
    good luck
    regards

  • How will we know when Java plugins work with 4.0?

    I got an error message saying that Java was disabled but it WAS enabled! Webinars like Go To Meeting depend on a browser and Java to be compatible, as I missed a meeting!!! The 4.0 should have been de bugged before the public was subjected to this fiasco. I'm out money because it took so much time to look for a fix or info, bottom line is that I am out of luck. I am so very sorry I downloaded the 4.0 upgrade. I've read that there is not going back. The many many folks leaving messages is a big red flag that Mozilla jumped the gun on this one.

    1) Export your project to a mdl file using the OWB 9.0.3 client.
    2)Use the "OWB MDL File upgrade utility" which you will find in your 904 installation
    3) Create a new repository for OWB904, and import the upgraded mdl file.
    As far as I know there is no utility that can upgrade the repository directly.

  • I updated Mozilla Firefox to the lastest version. How do I know whether Avast is working with Firefox?

    I got a Mozilla Firefox update, so I did it.
    A message came up saying that Avast would no longer work with it.
    I went back to your site and reported that it wasn't working with it.
    How do I get the two working together again, or do I need to go back and reinstall an older version of Firefox?

    Can't see the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View, History...Help)? Hold down the key and press the following letters in this exact order: V T M
    The Menu Bar should now be displayed permanently, unless you turn it off again (View > Toolbars). Turning the Menu Bar on and off is a new feature in version 3.6.
    Also see [[Menu bar is missing]]
    If that doesn't work, try resetting your toolbars and controls through [[Safe Mode]].

  • HT1461 how do i know if my mac works with 32 or 64 bit of windows 7

    Any clue? Thanks

    See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846 This site will tell you if you can install a 32 or 64-bit Windows version on the computer. In most of the cases, you can install the version you want but in other cases, you have to install the 32-bit edition (on old computers) or only the 64-bit version (on new computers)

  • How to load different modules in moduleLoader - some with other without unload?

    Ok so I've read a lot about modules and I decided to build a site where I have a button bar menu and a single moduleLoader, where all of my pages are separate modules. Some of the modules will be preloaded with moduleManager technique so they will be in memory and should pop up instantly and others should be unloaded since they will be used rarely. Imagine you have 50 pages, 45 of them use the same 3 modules and the rest 5 use 5 other modules.
    So I need 2 things:
    1) those 3 modules preloaded (loaded into memory) and then used - this is not a problem. In the change handler of the button bar I just set the url of the moduleLoader=""; and right after that line I put moduleLoader.url = "module1.swf" for example. This way the ready event fires everytime I change the selected button of the buttonBar and since the module is loaded into memory it changes immediately, which is great.
    2) I need the rest 5 modules that are not preloaded, to be loaded by the moduleLoader and when the user clicks on another button, the module to be unloaded and the new module for the new selected button to be loaded on it's place. So here unloading of the old module and loading of the new one should happen with 1 user interaction - clicking a button. How do I do that?
    I am asking this because I found out that there is some difference when the module has been preloaded or not which changes the way it unloads. Also in certain cases if a module has been unloaded once and loaded again it stops shooting the unload event by only changing the moduleLoader.url and then you have to specifically call moduleLoader.unloadModule() function to get it called.
    And all of this brought me to the idea that maybe the only way to make this work for case 2 is having moduleLoader.unloadModule(); and on the next line after it moduleLoader.url = "newModuleUrlHere";
    But then I bumped into a problem with flickering in my buttonBar selected button transition which I describe and give online example of here:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/760347?tstart=0
    So is there any technique of combining preloaded modules which should not be unloaded + the ones who need to be loaded and unloaded and all of this to be working with just one moduleLoader instance?
    I really didn't expect to have so much trouble with modules... If no one can suggest me a working example I will post each case I described here to help me get resolution to this cause I can't get on with my project and it's very important.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi thanks for the reply here too
    I agree it totally makes sense if I do not unload modules to load them in the same application domain and not as a child. This way I wouldn't have to worry about the singletons I could have forgotten to initialize in the main application If my logic is correct. But still is it wrong to leave them in a child ApplicationDomain since I will still have modules I will need to unload and I would still have to be careful about the singleton managers?
    Note: have in mind I am trying to separate the module's from the main application, so the application won't use any classes defined in the modules since it won't be aware of what's in what module.
    Yes, I do have a buttonBar buttons which map to module urls.
    Ok I will try to setup my questions in a few very simple example applications, it would be easier for you to understand what's confusing me.
    http://filip.nedyalkov.net/moduleLoaderTesting2/ - view source enabled - look at testing3.mxml
    In the button bar change handler I have:
    moduleURL = buttonBar.
    selectedItem.url;moduleLoader.url = moduleURL;
    and I listen to the moduleLoader unload event.
    On the Unload Current Module Button I have: moduleLoader.unloadModule();
    Ok what is confusing me is this: When I start switching between module1 and module2 do they automatically get unloaded because I recall reading that changing the moduleLoader.url property doesn't unload the module just releases it? Also I'm getting the unload event shoot very strange because if I am on module1 and then click on module2 it doesn't shoot that module1 was unloaded, it doesn't do anything. As soon as I click back on module1 then it shoot unloaded (you can see that in my example in the text area).
    Another strange thing is that while doing this, everytime you click on module1 or module2 they get transferred over the network I can see that in mozilla firebug. Now if I am on module1 and click the Unload Current Module button the module really gets unloaded and then the unload event is correct and shoot when it's supposed to shoot. Now if you click on module2 and then come back to module1 it will get loaded again, but now it will be put in memory, it won't shoot unload event any more and it won't get transferred over the network when I switch the modules? Why is that ? All I did was unloading the module once and it changes everything.
    So I hope you undertstand this cause I have no idea is this supposed to work this way? Would you be so kind to explain me this behaviour ?
    Thanks!

  • How to use single ant build to package with and without native extensions

    Hi,
    I am using iOS native extensions for Adobe air. For this I am listing the extensionid in the application descriptor file. Since the package with native extensions are meant to run only on device, I want my build script to work without native extensions too to be able to run on simulator. Is this manadatory that I need two separate application descriptors/basically two build scripts to compile and package them? Please suggest and let me know if more explanation is needed.
    Thanks,

    why are you wanting to use single frames?
    They allow having the initial frame address stay in the
