Is there anything in SWTOOLS that I actually need to keep?

The SWTOOLS is taking up 3-4 Gigs -- and since I'm using a SSD (with relatively limited space) I'd like those 3-4 Gigs back.
Is there anything I actually need in there? If I copy the SWTOOLS folder to a network share, and then delete it from my X220, is there anything wrong with that? Do I even need to copy it to a network share? Offhand, it seems like a bunch of stuff I could download later if I ever actually want it.
Thanks!

Hello,
On some models of ThinkPad (older ones?), the C:\SWTOOLS directory may contain the standalone installation packages for licensed software that are not available for download, such as DVD viewing or burning software. In addition to make a normal backup of it whereever your store your backups, I would suggest copying the contents of the directory to a 4GB USB flash drive and keeping it someplace near the ThinkPad, such as a carrying case or backpack if you use one. That way, if you ever need to reinstall the operating system while away from your backups, you will have all of the additional ThinkPad-specific software available for reinstallation with you from the USB flash drive.

HT201263 My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone

My iPhone 4 started to update but got stuck in recovery mode. I've tried everything anyone on the website has told me to do, but nothing has worked. When you go to turn it on, it shows the Apple symbol, then it goes to the connect to iTunes screen. When I do that, it just says error with the code 9006. I've followed what the Apple site has said to do for it, but the phone is still is the same state. Is there anything I can do? I need my phone back as soon as possible.

Hello Hester Emily,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing after this update process. I found the following article that has more information on the iTunes error code 9006:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, or 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Take care,
Alex H.

How do I know if a login site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a visual lock icon, but not so in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?

How do I know if a login site is secure? In Safari or Explorer there is a visual lock icon in the web browser window, but not so in Firefox. Is there an add-on that meets this need?

The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar.

This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0
If you still want a padlock icon also then there is this Extension.

Is there anything Artistic/creative that you can use a BitMap font for

I was cleaning out my duplicate fonts and have some that have a bitmap versions. I was reading that postscript and true type are better to use. But---Before I empty the trash I was wondering is there anything artistic (maybe grungy or something) that a bitmap font could be used for that a true type or post script font would not do, even if its not used for legible text.
Thanks

If you like a font, keep it. I suggest tat you use a font manager. I've got about 21,000 fonts in my library but I only keep about 300 activated. I use a font Font Explorer, but there are many good font managers out there.

Are there any game apps that doesn't need wifi

I just got my kids the iPod touch and some places don't have wifi that we can connect to. Are there some games that don't need wifi?

Hello,
Take a look at the appstore, most games do not require wifi to play, although you do need wifi to download the game initially. Try searching for the type of game your looking for. Or go to the catagories section and brows them there. Unless the description says that it is an online or multiplayer only game then it is most likely to be compatable offline.
Go ahead and take a look. Have fun shopping around!

Is there anything within firefox that would prevent exporting a wordpress xml file?

everytime i try to export my wordpress blog contents (posts and comments or just post), the file that gets prepared for downloading is either 0 bytes or -1 bytes.
is there any type of setting within firefox, that could be causing the problem when exporting a wordpress blog?
is there someplace where i can enter (trusted sites),the domains or url's for each of my blogs in firefox and see if that makes any difference

Sure. When I open an .xml file with one doc, the tree is displayed, as expected. But, file contents with a document per line gives a syntax error on line 2:
* < ?xml version="1.0"?><oldjoke><burns>Say <quote>goodnight</quote>,Gracie.</burns></oldjoke>
* < ?xml version="1.0"?><oldjoke><allen><quote>Goodnight, Gracie.</quote></allen></oldjoke>
* < ?xml version="1.0"?><oldjoke><applause/></oldjoke>
XML Parsing Error: junk after document element
Location: file:///home/rick/workspace/sampleline2.xml
Line Number 2, Column 1:
(Note; I inserted a space between the < and ? characters to get the doc header to display in this message.)
In my log file, I have a document per line generated by rsyslog. When I open the file via FTP, it is still active, so an approach that encapsulates all the lines into a single monolithic 'log' element doesn't seem workable. The </log> line would never be there.

I recently installed firefox 5 and lost some of the google stuff I liked. Especially sidewiki. It is incompatible with 5. Is there anything like it that is compatible?

Would like something that is compatible with firefox 5, or do I need to go back to the previous firefox?

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Last time I checked, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it mostly works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
Any luck?

Is there anything on mac that converts movioes than quicktime ? ( MAC ONLY)

please help whole videora is getting annoy since i don't have PC
stash

There are quite a numner of dedicated iPod, as well as, general converters available that can output iPod compatible files. It would help however, if you could provide information reguarding what types of files you want to convert, whether or not you are willing to purchase a "proven" application or simply want a "freebie," and give some idea as to your level of expertise or comfort in manually entering customization settings.

There's a hard case I like for the ipod, but would like to back it with a clear silicone case on top, Is there a clear case that would actually fit over an all ready covered iPod?

Double Layer Hybrid Hard Gel Case Cover for iPod Touch 5th Gen Built In Screen. Plus, my thought was to find a great cover and keep it in my purse - i have a thick purse and don't hit people with it, so my ipod would be safe in there right? I'm slightly concerned my screen would break as I don't know how easily breakable the screens are. Input? TIA

Try here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
To get the calender and contacts back if you can't get the iPod working is to restore the new iPod from the backup of the old one.

Is there anything in particlar that I need other than the installation disk when upgrading from Labview 8 to 2010

I have a Labview program that ran fine when I had Labview 8 installed. I recently upgraded to Labview 2010 and now my program will not work. When I run the program, none of my instruments read out and after about 5 seconds, the whole Labview program closes with no error messages. Can someone please help? I am a new Labview user and I don't really know how to troubleshoot this problem.

If you have the installation disks that should be all you need. You will need a connection to the internet to register your product.

My flash update has been stuck at 30% for hours. Is there anything I can do to actually get it to download?

I have been trying to download flash to watch an exam review and it has been stuck at 30% for hours. I tried restarting the download and it went to 30% and stopped again. I am using a Mac with the most up to date software available for it.

This morning we resolved a problem that prevented Flash Player installations from completing for some of our Macintosh users.
If you encountered this problem, please delete any previously downloaded Flash Player installer and either:
1.) Download the installer again from https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer
2.) Download the stand-alone installer from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg

Iphone 5 VERY short battery life since 6.0.2 update.. Is there anything to change that? :/

Very short battery life on my iPhone 5 since 6.0.2 update. I got up this morning and it was only half an hour in use and it already lost 10% of battery life! Please fix that apple!

Apple is still signing for 6.0.1 so you can RESTORE BACK to 6.0.1. Just download the 6.0.1 IPSW for your device and then press the shift key while pressing restore (on windows) which will open a window. Select the downloaded IPSW and you'll be back on 6.0.1. And since Apple is still signing 6.0.1 THIS IS NOT A HACK
OR AN UNAUTHORIZED downgrade. So it DOES NOT void your warranty because Apple is allowing you to downgrade because they've allowed the 6.0.1 window to remain open. I did it for a friend's iPhone and it all worked out fine.

Help! iphone 5 was run over by a car.There are 2 apps that I REALLY need, to get on my ipad. I was able to sync even though the phone itself won't work, so there should be a backup on my computer. Is this possible? I need the info in the apps.

I kept a journal and my running bank account balance on the iphone. I am really at a loss without these. The journal was also my baby's eat/sleep/etc. log. Please help!!

If these apps are also iPad compatible, you can download them directly. Make sure you are logged into the App Store with the same Apple ID that made the purchase. (Settings > iTunes & App Stores)
On the iPad:
Open App Store > Updates > Purchased

TS1424 My grandson made purchases on my phone last night is there anything that I could do he is five years old

My 5 year old grandson made purchases on my phone last night is there anything I can do. I need help please. It came up to almost 100$ I am sick

All purchases are considered final, but you can try contacting iTunes support and explain what happened and see if they will refund or credit you : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
To try and stop it happening again, then if they were in-app purchases then you should be able to turn them off on your iPhone via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off', and (possibly depending upon what version of iOS that you have on the phone) you might be able to set 'Require Password' to 'Immediately' on the Restrictions screen.
