NEED HELP! Tech support told me to ask Best Buy???

I just purchased a K410
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AEP51Q/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
I need to hook up two monitors via a digital signal for an extended display (not mirrored), but i only have one digital out (HDMI), the other is analog (VGA). So I'm pretty sure I need a new graphics card that has two DVI-D outputs OR one HDMI and one DVI-D output, b/c my monitors both have DVI-D inputs, but I already have a HDMI to DVI adapter cable. What graphics card should I replace the stock one with, and what's the deal with getting an extra power supply for it?
Will this work instead?

Tech support is so awful for Lenovo, multiple "technicians" either told me to get splitters or that I needed new monitors--all wrong. Thanks in advance.

hi alexfsu,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
If you're in a budget and have already two HDMI to DVI-D dual-link adapters, you can get a low profile GeForce 210 PCI-E 2.0 for your dual monitor needs (DVI-I is compatible with DVI-D as long as they're both dual-link). If your machine came with a universal 240W PSU, I recommend you change it to a good quality 350W ATX with a +12V rail so that it could accommodate the power consumption of the graphics card specially when using dual monitors.
I personally haven't tried the Sabrent UGA-2K-195 USB 2.0 to HDMI/DVI but it has good reviews and I think it will work on your setup.
Hope this helps

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

Help - Tech Support Lost my Actions and Custom Panels

Lord only knows what else I've lost. (CS6 - 64 bit) Anyhow, somehow my blur gallery (Tilt-Shift, Iris and Field) got screwed up. Whenever I brought them up, they wouldn't work and I couldn't get out of the gallery.
I called tech support and after taking control of my computer, he reset my Preferences and all was well - or so I've thought. Now I find I've lost my custom Actions and Panels.
Is there a way to retreive these and other things I may have lost, or must I start from square one?

Do you have a backup of your preferences area?
Sorry I'm just getting back to you folks. I found where CS6 keeps my preferences. Then I went to my NAS to find the file backups and after reloading my backup program (long story) I eventually copied all the stuff back to where it was supposed to go.
Thanks everyone; I'm back up until the next time Photoshop surprises me with the unexpected!

Hey Guys ! I need help on figuring out which MacBook Air to buy . Please Help Me !

I Need Help Figuring Out Which MacBook Air To Buy.

Avoid the MacBook Pro (non retina) unless you absolutely need to burn or read DVD/CD media on the road and don't want to carry around a small external optical drive. That leaves the MBA and the MBPr as your two choices. The Air's advantage is extreme portability and battery life - especially with the standard CPU. The MBPr's main advantage is its display. Both are perfectly good workhorse computers for school and work. Neither is especially good for gaming other than casual games. In fact many games don't support the Intel integrated video at all.
Once you've decided on which model I strongly recommend that you have at least 8GB of RAM. How large a drive depends on how much you intend to stuff onto your computer. Using my MBA for home and work, which includes a minimal installation of Windows 7 for programming and verifying that websites look and behave acceptably on both platforms, I can fit everything I need on a 256GB drive but could never live on a 128GB drive. My wife, however, could have saved a little cash and gone with the 128GB model.

Need Help- Poor Support Has Gone on Too Long

Quicktime error/iTunes error as follows- I tried running quicktime. It gives me a "Windows needs your permission to continue." Then, it fails when I press continue because "Run a Legacy CPL elevated has stopped working." This must be part of the problem- quicktime. Now how do I fix that?

+Any help available at all from Apple?+
This is a *user to user* troubleshooting forum. You come here to ask for help from your fellow users, rather than from Apple. See the help and terms of use for more information about where you're posting:
http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa
+Run a Legacy CPL elevated has stopped working+
That's a fairly unusual error message. But, working from basic principles, a CPL is typically a control panel file. So perhaps first try heading into your Control panel, click "Classic View" and try to open the QuickTime control panel.
Do you get an error message when you try to do that? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)
(Checking on this, because this may give us a heads up on what might be going on with your QuickTime launch problem.)

I need help with CS6 - it continues to ask me to install the full versions of the programs after I have installed them multiple times.

Hello,
I am writing from my computer at work. I have been working here since May and have been asked to install the full versions of CS6 MANY times now. I work for a few days and then the count down pops up saying my trial has ended. I am not working in a trial version - in fact I never was. The IT dept. here has un-installed and re-installed the CS6 complete versions onto my computer about 4 times now. We also "checked for updates". None of these things seem to be working. And then today to find out that no phone support to being offered to CS users any longer - only Cloud users - I am very disappointed. We have tried every single thing there possibility could be to fix this. I use Photoshop and Illustrator every day at work and I can not afford to be locked out of the programs because the trial has ended again and again and again. Please help ASAP.

See if this helps: Sign in, activation, or connection errors | CS5.5 and later

IMac 27" with Lion upgrade ... daily hangs! Need help and support

Dear Apple,
Mid-July we got an iMac27" with Snow Leopard installed. First week of August I upgraded to Lion via web download (from Apple Store).
Since then the iMac has frequently hung. It goes in two stages: 1) the cursor gets round with rolling colors for some time (the "force quit" or "shutdown" menu selections cannot be accessed because the mouse gets inactive for clicks), then 2) the cursor gets in the middle of the screen and resembles the gray round that rotates when the iMac starts up (but without the gray apple above it this time) ... it stays in that mode indefintely. I then have to shut it down via the back lower left button and start again. Now it goes into that "routine" almost daily.
All softwares are up-to-date. I have also performed three of four times now the "Alt at start" manoeuvre, check disk and permissions with repair.
Is it because of the Lion upgrade (instead of a fresh install)? (If so, how do I perform a fresh install and keep all settings/preferences.) Is it hardware-related ... although it looks like working quite good? Is it software-related ... how to clean everything?
In case such issue has not yet come up I will need to call the Apple help center. Can a phone number be provided? Thanks.
Regards.
Pierre

Your situation sounds identical to mine. But, with a 27" 2010 iMac and a 2009 Mac pro. Constant freezes, hangs, programs not quiting, unable to restart , shutdown.
I did a full re-install of Lion on both the iMac and Mac pro, including a full initialization of he disk, and, instead of migrating all my apps and data from time capsule, I individually re-installed each app.
Nada!..same problem..
On this past Monday, I reformatted my Macpro and re-installd Snow Leopard - it works perfect now!
Lion has got to be the worst product Apple has ever released. I have no idea why it works on so many Macs, when it seems to be so bad on many as well.

I need help wit my ipod touch it ask me if for a payment plan just to download free stuff

my ipod touch ask me to pay for something that is free it says i have to put a credit card number in

Because Apple requires one in your account unless you initially setup the account without a credit card.
You ca create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

I need help with ISIGHT! I can't get it to work with MSN!

HI,
My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
THANK YOU

Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

Has anyone else recently dealt inept Adobe Tech Support?

This an email I sent to this woman's supervisor:
I’m writing to let you know that your tech support person, Anumeha, solved my problem. She was the only one that could! She is an asset to your company.
Give her a raise in pay. Take her to lunch. Do somehing nice for her. Thank you.
That being said, I’d like to explain how the rest of the tech support people I dealt with on Monday, February 10, were not as good as she was. Not even close.
I had to spend my entire day and into the evening before I was lucky enough to connect with Annmeha.
I’ve attached screen grabs off my iPhone show how much time was wasted, until Anumeha. You’ll see that I was on the phone for 356 minutes / 5.9 hours.
It started at 10:31 in the morning and the problem was resolved at 8:00 pm. Three different techs had me uninstall my CC software and then reinstall it and you know how time that takes.
I got so I could tell the tech what folder we were going to next. They would ask me how I knew this. I told them that previous techs had me do the same thing. It was maddening.
What I don’t understand is how no one could fix my problem with Creative Cloud, until Anumeha entered the picture. I have been using Mac since 1987 and Photoshop since version 1 in 1990.
I understand how computers work.
Once again, my entire day and evening was consumed by Adobe's inept tech support staff. I don’t know what else to say, other that I am very disappointed in Adobe.
Adobe makes the best software, in my opinion, in the world, but I feel that Adobe tech support is not the great tech support it used to be.
Feel free to pass this along to anyone that might be able to help tech support be better.

Hi oddstick,
We are so sorry for this frustrating experience. I will be sure to pass this on to our Quality Initiative team. Is there anything we can do to help you at this point?
Let us know.
Thanks,
Madison
