Lenovo Z710 - Major Performance Problems - Expert Advice Needed

Three months ago I bought Lenovo Z710 laptop.
Here are some system properties:
Intel Core i7 4700MQ CPU @ 2.40 GHz,
8GB RAM
Hybrid 1TB + SSHD(8G),
NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M / 2 GB,
DVD-R,
Win 8.1
After using the device for 3 months I can't describe with words how dissapointed I am.
It is unbelievably slow. The device with this configuration should do very easily hard things.
However, I have troubles doning even simple things.
For example, currently I am only browsing web and listening music from youtube.
Opening a new web page in Chrome takes 30-40 seconds. Opening a new tab takes aprox. 10 seconds.
Selecting a text and copying it, takes 15 seconds. It is even very frustrating to type even a web address because of the obvious delay in typing. Furthermore, when I listen to music there is also a delay - that makes even listening to music unbelievably frustrating. Just to mention one more time - I only have chrome running!
I have 2 Partitions - C disk (442 GB) and disk D (488 GB).
On disk C I installed Win 8.1. and at the moment on disk C 391 GB are free.
I use disk D is mostly intended for storing images, movies, and music. On this disk 258 GB are free.
Regarding the programs I installed on top of Windows, here is the list: micro Torrent, Adobe Photoshop, Android SDK Tools, Android studio, Avast Internet Security, Brackets, Corona SDK, Dropbox, Foxit Cloud, Foxit Reader, Chrome, Greenshot, MS Office, Mozilla, Skype, Notepad, VLC Player, WinRAR, XAMPP.
When I open Task Manager I see that used CPU resources are aprox. 10%, Memory aprox 35%, Disk 2%, Network 5%.
I am the only user of the device.
In Task manager I read that only Chrome takes the most of the resources taking 130 MB memory.
So why is the device with 4 physical i7 Intel processory and 8 GB SSD so slow, that I can't even type without disturbance with delays?
I don't understand how the device with mentioned hardware can be so slow.
And regarding the software, I don't understand whtat could slow the device - I mentiond what programs were installed and to what extent are resorurces being used.
Please give me your advice on what else can I check and what shoudl I do.

Can you run a system health check once and see if anything is flagged? To do so,
1. Press the + R keys to open the Run dialog, type perfmon, and click/tap on OK.
2. If prompted by UAC, click/tap on Yes.
3. In the left pane of Performance Monitor, click/tap on Data Collector Sets to expand it, click/tap on System to expand it, right click on System Diagnostics, and click on Start. (see screenshot below)
4. It will collect data for 60 seconds before the system diagnostics report will be ready to view instep 3 of OPTION TWO below.

Expert advice needed: Why could I not connect to my own server after deletion of SSL certificate?

Issue: Could not connect to my own server after deletion of SSL certificate despite having SSL disabled
Hello,
I admit I am lay user with rudimentary SSL knowledge and I therefore messed up my certificates and I could no longer access my own server (Wikis, WebDav, Device Manager) with Safari. (error: Safari can't connect to server)
Eventually, I could resolve the problem but I do not understand why there was problem in the first place.
Maybe someone can explain that to me ?
OK, here is what I did:
I created a Certificate Authority because I wanted to use a free SSL Server certificate for our private server.
(I followed http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/mac/create-your-own-ssl-ca-with-the-os-x-keycha in/388 )
Despite several attempts I never got the server to accept the certificate for web services, the certificate was accepted for iCal, Mail and iChat but not for Web services. I tested an older certificate that was created when I set up the server and that that worked for all services incl. Web. So the problem was with my certificate only.
Out of desperation and lack of concentration I deleted the "original" certificate.
Now, I soon noticed that I could no longer log in to my server. I solved the problem by restoring the original certificate.
My question:
I had SSL disabled in the Server app settings. Why does Safari still look for a proper certicate ? (the server logfile had an entry that a .pem file could not be found which makes sense if the cert has been deleted)
I would be very grateful for an expert advice.
Regards,
Twistan

Because....
the server does not have a 'trusted' certificate assigned to it.
Only the RDP Gateway has the trusted certificate for the external name.
If you want to remove that error, you have to do one of the following:
Make sure your domain uses a public top level domaim, and get a public trusted certificate for your server.
So, something like,
server.domain.publicdomain.com
Or,
Install that certificate on your remote computer so it is trusted.

Nano & Earbud Problems. Advice Needed!!!! PLEASE HELP!!! MAJOR PROBLEMS!

Okay, one day I was walking home with one headphone in one ear and the other in my friends, and then I get a shock. It really hurt, and my ears started to burn. Thats just the beginning. I call the Apple Help Line and they tell me they will send me a new set. THEN I get an email saying they WONT send me a pair because this JUST happens and it's because it was rubbing against nylon.
One thing though; I DONT WEAR NYLON [it makes me get a rash/hives]. Okay, so then I thought I'll just use the left heaphone [didnt shock me] So I only use this one. And then I remember he says it 'just happens' So I started to use the right headphone. I heard this click click thing and it's my headphone. It then shocks me again.
I thought it was a while since I used my right headphone and it might've stopped [today]. And so I used it, it shocked 3 times in a row. Now my ear still burns. What do I do?!
I don't want to use the right earbud, but I don't hear my songs properly without it and I have to turn up my volume with just my left earbud in and everyone know's what I'm listening to then because that's how high it is.
Any advice? This really bugs me.

Im still confused, the guy on the phone said I DONT have to return the headphones but on the page it says
Important: You must return your defective part to Apple. When you receive your replacement part, please check your box or envelope for return shipping
instructions. If you do not return the defective part,
we will charge a non-return penalty to your credit card.
_ I agree to pay CAD 23.00 if I do not return my defective part to Apple within 10 business days.
And why would I have to put credit card information if it's 0.00? I dont even have a credit card.

Powerbook 1.5/1.67 GHz - any major or minor problems/defects ? need advice

hello
I am thinking about buying a used Powerbook 1.5/1.67 GHz
Either the 1.5 Ghz of this model: http://www.apple-history.com/?page=gallery&model=pg4_family&performa=off&sort=da te&order=ASC
or this http://www.apple-history.com/?page=gallery&model=pg4_15167&performa=off&sort=dat e&order=ASC
any known problems/issues with those machines ?
what kind of battery life can one expect from a battery in good condition and light use of cpu ?
are those powerbooks affected by the battery recalls ?

When buying used, be sure the seller follows these tips of mine
http://www.macmaps.com/selling.html
They will help both you and the seller.
The battery exchange is covered here and you can use this page as a guide to determine which model has it
https://support.apple.com/ibook_powerbook/batteryexchange/
These machines are known for the heat they generate, so don´t use them as laptops. Apple´s article here covers this with more detail
http://www.info.apple.com/kbnum/n30612
A very few of these machines have been known to have fan problems, which is detectable with the hardware test volume which comes on the restore disks. Hopefully the machine you get is still under AppleCare (Under 1 year old or purchased) so that the test on this page if it finds the fans are defective can be passed on to AppleCare

Please Help Experts Advice Needed

I just bought ram memory, specifications (1024mb pc3200 400mhz ddr ram). When I installed the memory and powered up all I got was a beep sound and nothing else. Before I complain to the seller I need advice from any experts in this subject to tell me what could be wrong and how to fix it. I replaced the memory that came with the mac mini which is 256mb of ram but had to place it back in to work with my computer to find a solution to this problem. I read in mac addict that anything above pc2700 ram would be compatible with the mac mini. I have a mac mini 1.42ghz powerpc g4 any help will be appreciated.
thank u in advance for any help

Sadly, just because it's in spec, doesn't mean it will work.
Macs are EXTREMELY picky on RAM. The RAM itself may be good, but not compatible.

Expert advice needed on Remodeling and line item Dimension

Hi All,
Scenario:
I have a cube 0FIAP_C03 for line Item. Now in this cube one of the dimensions u201CC036 -Document Detailsu201D is reaching the size of the Fact table. We are planning to use Re-Modelling and shift some of the characteristics like 0DOC_NUMBER - Sales Document, 0AC_DOC_NO - Accounting document number etc from this Dimension to another Dimension to reduce the size of this Dimension Table.
I have the following Questions:
1Will it be possible to add a new dimension and shift some characteristics from old Dimension to this new Dimension using remodeling( we donu2019t want to delete data from the cube)
2.what are the other feasible options to overcome the problem I have mentioned in my scenario( like Line Dimensions)
3.In case we can make this dimension as Line Dimension what other changes need to be made.
I am looking for a detailed explanation with all prou2019s and conu2019s, So kindly help me with your expert inputs.
Thanks,
Prafull.

Hi Prafulla,
Answers to your questions
1Will it be possible to add a new dimension and shift some characteristics from old Dimension to this new Dimension using remodeling( we donu2019t want to delete data from the cube)
No, remodelling wont work as per my understanding. ie You will have to delete and reload data
However, this also depends on the data in your dimension.....................................................
Consider the following example
Index(Dim-id).....Sales document............Sales Item............Accounting document
1......................1233456........................10.......................A123 .......end of record
2......................1233456........................20.......................A123.......end of record
3......................1233456........................30.......................A123.......end of record
Now suppose if you had to remodel the above dimension to move sales item to other dimension, then the dimension would appear as below................................................................................................
Index(Dim-id).....Sales document............Accounting document
1......................1233456.......................A123.......end of record
2......................1233456.......................A123.......end of record
3......................1233456.......................A123.......end of record
Now the problem is for the same combination of sales document and accounting document you should have had 1 row in the dimension, but you are having 3 rows(indexes) hence you are flouting the uniqueness for read and write operations to the dimension.. So logically this shouldnt be allowed...
However if your data in the dimensions is such that the uniquness of each row in the dimension is not disturbed, you could use remodelling.
You can try this in quality.
2.what are the other feasible options to overcome the problem I have mentioned in my scenario( like Line Dimensions)
I am not sure if I have understood your question. But I will still try to answer. If the dimension table has reached the size of the fact table then it is appropriate to consider remodelling.
Also you should consider embedding sales document and accounting document in the same dimension. Since there would be generally only one accounting document each sales document.
Use line item dimensioin as far as possible(restricted by number of characteristics). It reduces one step whie query since SIDs are directly present in fact table.. so you don't have to scan through dimension table.
Also have you considered archiving old dat not reported... It will reduce your dimension as well and improve performance...
3.In case we can make this dimension as Line Dimension what other changes need to be made.
-No other changes.
A safer option is to delete and reload data. Anyway remodelling also recommends a back up...
Its better to create a copy cube and use the copy cube/original cube for reporting until the other cube is getting processed to have minimal time of unreportable data.
Apologies .. Looks like the text in the post is loosing the format in which I typed hence the allignment is not correct..
Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Sunmit.

10.5.2: Expert Advice Needed

I realize there's a small percentage of the Mac community that believes this, so I'd like it if only experienced mac users of 10+ years would respond.
PAST:
I've used a mac since 1994, but have been dealing with speed problems of OSX since I first bought my PowerMac G4. In the beginning, it was lightning fast, but after constant upgrades, it became unbearably slow.
People said I was wrong in thinking software updates would slow the machine down, but one day I reinstalled 10.2 and never did another software update and it continued to run fast like it used to. I would later experience this same phenomina with my iMac G3, iBook G4, iMac G4, PowerMac G5 PPC. It's as if the software get's bloated with features and whatnot, to the point where I just deal with the slowness OR... buy the new Macbook 3Ghz or whatever it is
*PRESENT DAY:*
After installing 10.5 on my Macbook, I couldn't believe how fast it ran. But after Apple Software Update put me up to 10.5.1, i could see an immediate slowdown of almost everything from startup time to opening applications, to importing media into iTunes and iPhoto. So I did some tests...
When timed side by side, My PowerMac G5 PPC (running 10.4.11) can open the same WMV file at nearly 1/2 the speed of my Macbook. Another notable observation is that my Macbook has 100% more kernal panic crashes in 10.5.1 than it did with 10.5. It used to have none.
FUTURE:
I'd really like to know what's in store for me with 10.5.2. I'm hoping that it will fix some of my issues, but I worry that buying a new Mac is what's in store. (pun definitely intended)

My PowerMac G5 PPC (running 10.4.11) can open the same WMV file at nearly 1/2 the speed of my Macbook.
Make sure you have the latest version of the Flip4Mac codec.
Another notable observation is that my Macbook has 100% more kernal panic crashes in 10.5.1 than it did with 10.5. It used to have none.
10.5.2 is the current version; try updating to that. I recommend downloading and installing the Combo updater given your problems.
I'd really like to know what's in store for me with 10.5.2.
I'm running 10.5.2 on several machines and it's working flawlessly. YMMV, particularly if there are issues already; updates won't always fix pre-existing problems, particularly if they're due to corrupted files or polluted caches, permissions errors and the like.

Frame rates, judder, PAL and NTSC - expert advice needed please!

I have an NTSC high def camcorder. Because I live in England, I would prefer to make PAL DVDs from my home movies, if possible. My camera (Canon HF100) is AVCHD, and I thought this meant that once imported into iMovie, it was not 'true' NTSC. Have I misunderstood this? The reason I ask is that my recent iMovie 08 edits view perfectly on my Mac, but are slightly juddery when burned to a PAL DVD.
I have read on this forum about framerates, but I'm hoping the problem is still surmountable somehow. When I imported my footage into my Mac, I selected PAL even at that early stage, and all seemed to be well throughout the edit. The pictures and sound are perfectly synchronised, which I had heard could be a problem when moving between NTSC and PAL.
Do I really just have to go with NTSC all the way? Quite apart from its reputation for being Never Twice the Same Colour, it's not ideal if you're living in Europe because most TVs and DVD players are PAL.

the video standard conversion is no trivial task, a lot more than 'just' down-cascading 29.97 fps to 25fps (aside the 'unround' math, you have to convert resolution, color-schemes, etc) ... so, by any route it is IS a lossy process in terms of quality, or you use some 50k$ hardware
If your TV/DVD player supports it - stay NTSC ...
another route, I suggest when using iMHD6, is an export as dv-stream (NTSC) and using teh free app JES Deinterlacer for converting into dv-stream (PAL) ... JESDI does a better job, imho.
but...
the export as dv from within iM08 is again a lossy process, as we discussed early here at the boards.. so, you double the lossy process = no good idea.
stay NTSC...

IPod Sync problems / Backup advice needed

A few months ago I had some kind of crash in iTunes and lost all of my playcount information. Fortunately I was able to restore most of what was missing by backing it up from my iPod, but as my iPod was set to auto-sync at the time, I had to connect it and quickly block the auto-sync and set it to manually update (I can't remember exactly what key combination makes this happen, but a very kind person on here told me about it and I don't have the hyperlink to hand at the moment).
The problem is that now I want to set it to auto-sync again, but whenever I go into the settings and uncheck the "Manually manage playlist" option and hit Apply, it automatically rechecks the box and doesn't accept the changes. Does anyone know how to get around this?
Also, my computer is getting sluggish and basically needs a complete rebuild soon. Can anyone advise me on the best way to back up all of iTunes, including my library and all of the playcount information?
I'm a Windows user, if that makes any difference. Many thanks.

Hi E4monn,
It sounds like you can see all of your music purchases in iCloud but they are not syncing from your Windows computer to your iPod. In this situation, I would recommend making sure that all of the music you are trying to sync has been downloaded into your iTunes library prior to syncing. Please reference the Download previous purchases on Mac or PC section of the attached article to download all of your purchased music to your computer.
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Have a great day,
Joe

Flash to Video expert advice needed

I am exporting flash 8 animation to video to be edited in
final cut. I have exported the file in the animation codec "full
quality" to a quicktime .mov file, I then imported it into final
cut and have found a jagged edges on the images and am wondering
what the proper sequence settings would be in final cut?
Would anyone know, any tips to avoid these jagged lines would
be most helpful.
Thank you.
dmc

Try exporting from Flash with NO codec. Thus raw frames.
Also make sure you are not viewing the video in FC at a
scaled size.

Expert Advice Needed on SSO and 9iAS

At work we are thinking of using Single-Sign-On
for authentication of all our intranet Applications.
We have used Oracle Portal which has SSO, but we don't really need Portal.
What I need to know is:
Does Oracle 9iAS contain SSO?
Do I need a Oracle Database e.g. Oracle 8 or oracle 9 to use SSO?
Can I implement SSO using just Oracle 9iAS and use it in my Java code e.g. JSP/Beans etc..
Thanks in advance for ANY help,
Barry.

Macbook OS X 10.5.8 battery problem. Advice needed...

Hi all,
I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 bought summer 2008. It recently had a new hard drive fitted and since then it says (Not Charging) and 0% where it normally charged fine. It could be a complete coincedence that that battery no longer appears to be working properly since coming back from the shop but it seems a little odd.
It is plugged in properly. I tried doing an SMC reset to no effect. The battery is four years old and I guess it could just be dying a natural death.
As it stands, I can use the laptop so long as it is plugged in but if I accidentally knock the power cable out the laptop immediately switches off.
It is less than ideal. Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
Rebecca

Floating Voltage - Expert Advice Needed

My 3V Rail is fluctuating between 2.8v and 3.5v - causing many side effects, particularly on the graphics card. Have unloaded the rail by removing as many peripherals as possible with no change.
Is it likely that my motherboard is failing? Anyone any ideas of what I can do next?
Thanks in advance

It is better for you to get a 400watts or above PSU for your config .
Remember to watch out for the +12v rails to be @ min 18A ~ 20A and combined +3.3v & +5v total to 180watts or above. Antec Truepower/Control 420watts or above & Enermax 430watts or above are recommended PSUs .
To find out more about the Power Calculations and how to define a good PSU, please kindly proceed to the Good Articles Forum and browse through there .

ITunes won't open...no matter what! Expert advice needed

Hi,
I installed iTunes on my computer but I cannot open it.
Everytime I do I receive the message:
*'This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator.'*
The thing with this is, I am an administrator. Now, I've logged into my computer on the built in Administrator account and it loads up and works fine, but as soon as I go back to my personal account I can't open iTunes.
I've tried all the obvious such as reinstalling the program etc. but nothing works.
Help, help, help!!

Most of the users of this forum are American and asleep at the moment.
I am afraid I don't have a definitive answer, I guess it must be something to do with the way you ahve your account set up.
However to get running, how about going to your shortcut and selecting poperties, then the shortcut tab>Advanced.
There is a run with different credential checkbox, it is geyed out on my Home Edition XP, but maybe you can use it to run iTunes as the adminstrator from your account. This wouldn't be a long term solution.
