Lenovo Beacon Cloud Storage HDMI MP3, DD and DTS Audio Passthrough

Hello,
Is there any knowledge on whether it's possible to make the Lenovo Beacon pass DD 5.1(and/or DTS) audio through it's HDMI?
I just bought a Beacon and it plays avi files without audio at all, it plays MP4 and MKV with AAC 2ch audio just fine, but when I play a MKV with DD AC3 5.1 audio, it somehow downsamples it to a 2ch signal and I can't see any options anywhere on how to make any changes regarding the audio output.
The whole Audio section in the XBMC settings is completely missing.
The Beacon tech specs say that it supports DD and DD+ formats, but I don't know where it supports them. Yes, I can play files stored on the NAS via DLNA on my smart TV, and those files keep the DD sound, but the DD 5.1 doesn't work in local play mode via HDMI of the Beacon.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.

I think that we must wait for firmware update from Lenovo for working sound on Beacon device, but when it comes out is mystery.

I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen. I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me.

You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
If on your iPod now:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

How much Creative Cloud storage comes with Student and Teacher Edition?

Hi!
I work for the art college called the Maryland Institute College of Art, and I was recently asked a question that I don't have the answer for.
Basically, I'm wondering why my (and the student who asked me) only show 2 GBs of possible storage in our Creative Cloud accounts, when I believe that we should be getting 20 GB with the licensing agreement that MICA has signed up for.
If somebody could help me understand what's going on here, that would be fantastic.

I found out that the standard student/teacher edition has 20GB of storage: Amazon.com: Adobe Student & Teacher Edition Creative Cloud [Digital Membership]: Software

Creative Cloud updated itself yesterday. Downgraded cloud storage allowance to 2GB and data directories on hard drive messed up.

Creative Cloud updated itself yesterday.
After the update it seems to have downgraded my business account to free creative cloud, I say this because my data allowance in the adobe cloud has been reduced from 20Gb to 2Gb - My last monthly payment was taken as normal so it is not a non-payment issue. This is a problem since I have over 5Gb currently stored. Following the update, as the creative cloud indicated synching in progress but I could see the allowance reduced to 2GB I paused the synch for fear of loss of my critical work data. There now seems to be an issue in the Adobe bridge, with two directories on my hard drive. One is called Creative Cloud (Unkown) with an old creation date which seems to contain all my data. The other directory is called Creative Cloud but only contains about a tenth of the data and was created subsequent to the update of the Creative Cloud application.
So I have 2 issues to resolve:
1 - Adobe - please tell me why my cloud allowance is reduced to 2GB. My account payments are up to date so please do something about this.
2 - How do I safely handle the data directories so that the synch can continue without data loss?
Thanks

Need more cloud storage

Adobe gave me 50Gb more cloud storage 8-5-14 and now today I'm back down to 20Gb. I called and chatted all day and no one knows anything about it because adobe doesn't sell additional storage. Dropbox is expensive for graphic artists who need tons of storage. Ideas?
Anything to not have to deal with Adobe again. Sheesh! Waste of an important day.

Niel, FYI. I have discovered that you can delete music from your library, and if you have a iCloud account, it is backed up on the Cloud, and thus decreases the amount of space used. I began to delete albums, and after hitting the "delete" red button, the song remained and an "iCloud" icon was place in the row. I can still play the song, but the space is not used on my pad. Does this sound familiar, or would you confirm?

1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

HI Frostyfrog
CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
Good luck

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
Get help using iCloud storage
This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

HT1766 I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not callme or want to return the phone

I lost my IPhone 4S this morning and want to increase my cloud storage so I can back it up when it finds a signal and then remotely erase it...I'm assuming the worst that whoever finds is will not call me or want to return the phone. I went to icloud but it only govers me options to increase storage from my iPhone or a synced computer (mac or PC).

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Can I buy additional cloud storage and how much does it cost?

have gone over my 20g allowance for cc so can I buy additional cloud storage and how much does it cost?

Hi, in my opinion it's best to use that laptop as is and upgrade next year. On top of that the cpu is running at 1.6Ghz which isn't very fast.
Nonetheless, there are a few 4GB sticks for laptops. Not all laptops dimm slots support 4GB in each but yours does and that's a good thing. Only downside to this ram stick is the price. Very expensive.

Hi! You posted in the thread for linux operating system discussions, but it sounds like you have a media player. A google search turned up this --
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-Beacon-D-J-and-S-Series/Lenovo-Beacon-XBMC-settings-media-suppor...
Are you trying to experiment with a linux distro? If you are NOT trying to "modify" the operating system on your media player I think you probably want to ask questions in the Lenovo Beacon section of this board.

HT201318 Have purchased i cloud storage and found i dont need it! It says i have 90 days to get refund and contact apple store! How do i do this! Cant find contact! Linda

TOday i bought extra i cloud storage for i pad! Found i didnt need it! It says i have 90 days to cancel it and contact Apple! Dont know where to contact right dept! It cost me £14 for nothing! Can anyone help?
LInda

90 Days?? I think it's more like 15 days. Here's a post from some time ago that may help...
Hooray!!! I finally got the information on how to get a refund within 15 days for icloud storage upgrade!
Just call 1-800-MYIPHONE
Your call will initially be handled by a first level technical person, but he will have to refer you to a senior advisor because they are the only ones who can issue a refund.
Once you have a senior advisor on the phone, he will ask for your Apple ID, last 4 of your credit card or a security question, and then issue a refund IMMEDIATELY.

I upgraded my cloud storage from 2G to 120G and today it went back to 2G and I cannot save my work. Anyone experience this? Unable to get any customer service.

I do backup with iCloud. I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud.
I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever. Is that right?
In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

I bought more storage but my cloud account still says 5gb and full

You have differnciate between your iCloud storage for backups including...
Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Visual Voicemails
documents (like pages, numbers or keynote files)
and your local device storage for apps, music files, tv shows, photos and other media types.
Check your iCloud storage: "Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backups > Manage Storage" to see what you have currently stored on iCloud.
Check your device storage: "Settings > General > About > Available" to see if you still have capacity to store install more apps etc. on your device.

Cloud storage for mac and pc files

I am presently PC user that uses Carbonite for my cloud backup. I am going to be switching to the new iMac soon. I plan on using a Parallel or Fusion so I can continue using Photodex, Quickbooks for PC and Quicken for PC. I understand that Carbonite can only backup either Apple or PC files, not both on the same account. Are there any other cloud storage options that will back up both Apple and PC files?

DropBox dos do it automatically, & outside of their 2 GB fre, I've seen far better deals, but with my slw Internet, I only use local backups, & didn't note those deals.
