Is the latest ThinkVantage System Update safe to use?
I just reinstalled the factory version of XP onto my T60. Then I downloaded and ran the latest ThinkVantage System Update, and there were maybe 20 or 30 updates that I can install. Some of those updates require you to uninstall your current version, and others need to be installed in a certain order. Can TVSU handle all that, or should I try to install the updates manually? Someone was saying that an older version of TVSU doesn't install things in the correct order.
If I were you I would install the latest version of system update first and then run it to install available packages.

Is there a bug in the latest iOS7 operating system update
is there a bug in the latest iOS7 operating system update
iOS 7 and System 7 are not the same. System 7 refers to the operating system on Macs from 1991 to 1996.
I've requested this thread be moved. -
Just installed the latest Canon printer software update (V 3.2) suggested by the App store in effort to get printer working after OS update. Canon Pixma MX850 will not print. Dialog says job stopped at the server - no pages found. Utilities, print test page works. Attempting to print via Airport from a MacBook Pro. Also from a Mac Pro via ethernet. Both worked before updating to Yosemite. Canon Pro 9000 Mk 2 works via USB. Tried installing driver 10.84 from OS 10.9 as suggested by PAHU; no luck.
The "stopped at server - no pages found" message would suggest an image with the print file that is created by the printer driver on the MacBook Pro. But if the Mac Pro is getting the same message then that is unusual.
To rule out a couple of causes I would try connecting the MacBook Pro directly to the MX850 by USB cable. This action should result in a new printer for the USB connection being created automatically. If not then you may need to manually create it as you won't be able to use the existing printer that exists for the network connection. With the new printer created see if this will let you print without error.
If this USB connected printer also fails with the same message then try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will also remove the Pro 9000 from Printers & Scanners so you will have to add it and the MX850 again. -
ThinkVantage System Update - wrong language
I'm currently running ThinkVantage System Update 4 (4.00.0030) on Windows 7 Pro x64 and I have the same problem. The program uses your Regional Setting FORMAT to get the updates. This is the first tab option in Regional Settings (not your Regional Setting Input Language nor your Regional Setting System Locale). Why, I didn't find a good answer to that? The problem seems to persist from the early versions of System Update ; we are at version 4... common!!?
You can actually override the GUI language of System Update by changing the value of this registry key :
For Win 7 x64 :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lenovo\System Update\LanguageOverride
For x86 (32 bits) version, I think this is the key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\System Update\LanguageOverride
... to the language of your choice (EN, FR, DE, IT, ES...).
Unfortunately, this is just the GUI language, not the language for which System Update will retrieve update from the server. The program will still use your Regional Setting FORMAT for this.
I've read many post on the topic but didn't find a right solution. The dowloaded software and drivers language should be retrieved as per language setting of the OS not on date, time and number formats. If it's too hard to get the right setting from a multilanguage system, why not simply put a configurable language option? Is Lenovo going to fix the problem?
For now, the workaround is to dumbly set the Regional Setting Format to the "language" you wish before starting System Update and set it back to your preferred format when all update are installed. Any better idea?
P.S. Could a mod rename and move this topic in ThinkPad Forum please, because I think this is more related to System Update software than X Series Laptops

Core i7 620LM (2.00 GHz) w/ 4 GB DDR3 Memory
Windows 7 Pro 64 bits, HDD 320GB 7200RPMI bought an X200T in Belgium, chose the English version of Windows Vista Business upon first boot.
Yet some Lenovo software is still in Dutch.
The ThinkVantage System Update wants to download updates for Windows Vista NL instead of ENG. I have already downloaded the latest English version of ThinkVantage System Update but it insists speaking Dutch to me and does not recognize my system as being English.
Installing NL updates for an English OS is a recipe for disaster, I presume, so I cannot use that tool. -

Just updated the latest Epson software printer update from Apple. Now all my prints look solarized. How do I get rid of the new update and go back to the perfect prints I had before? Help please. Wasting ink and paper at the moment!!!!!!
I have tried the printer with my laptop (not updated) and everything is fine. It's just the beautiful 27" Imac that can no longer print.Might be a corrupted printer preference file ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Preferences
Click Go
Move the com.apple.PrinterPrefs.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac, restart the printer... -

After loading the latest software with an update, iphone 4/ 5.0, I do not have zoom with the camera any longer, can I correct this or is it a software item?
Steve:
Welcome to Apple Communities. The Zoom feature has changed a little in iOS5. To activate the zoom, "pinch" the screen with two fingers. You will see the screen zoom and will also now see the slider that you use to see when tapping the screen.
Hope this helps.
