New 2014 X1 Carbon owner very unhappy.

I received my new X1 model (i7 Haswell Touchscreen) a couple days ago and here are my thoughts
- BAD keyboard. I just don't know what Lenovo was thinking! The feeling of the buttons is ok, but I'm constantly having to look down at it. The Home, End, Delete, Backspace placements aren't intuitive and have caused many errors.
- Adaptive Keys are nonsensical!!! I thought we were going to be able to program them? They're constantly changing and flickering.. just a huge annoyance. If you have browswers, MS programs, PS, and other programs open at the same time it's a nightmare! And the LCD strip is a bit cheap looking too.
- Screen: The images lack sharpness and text is blurry at times! Brightness and Color replication are decent, but both could be much better. There's some edge light bleed as well which you'll notice on black screens and 16:9 content. My wife has a Mac and her screen is just so much better. The X1 screen is also pretty reflective for what it claims to be "non-reflective".
- Trackpad.. it has decent feedback & gliding, but I'm missing the buttons a lot more than I thought I would when I first saw the design. I wouldn't say I hate it, but I don't much enjoy it either.
- Gesture Controls: these are pretty silly and limited. There's also too much lag. They're mildly fun to play around with once, but I would never use them again.
Conclusion:
I have owned 5 different ThinkPads over time and have been very loyal to IBM & ThinkPad over the years, but I simply can not recommend the new X1 to anyone for serious business purposes. There's too many interface areas that hamper your production. I'm very disappointed with this release by Lenovo.
Of course if you're more of a casual media user, then the X1 wouldn't be for you. The X1 line is supposed to cater to business users, but Lenovo has actually hurt that experience here.
The build is the only thing I'm relatively satisfied with - it's pretty solid and nice to the touch. And I've always preferred a 14" screen size. But these two things aren't nearly enough for this i7 machine and its price. Bottom line, there's too many functionality issues that I can't get over. It's just not an enjoyable user experience.
If Lenovo would've just made this with the X1 Gen 1's keyboard and touchpad, I would've liked it so much more. Unfortunately, the Gen 1's screen was so horrible that I ruled it out a long a time ago.

What astonishes me the most about the new X1 Carbon keyboard is the removal of the Insert key.
I'm looking at the programs I have running right now and use every day, and all of the following have important keyboard shortcuts that use the Insert key, either by itself or combined with other keys:
IntelliJ IDEA
Komodo IDE
Visual Studio 2013
SmartGit/Hg
SecureCRT
Microsoft Excel
Take Command
Beyond Compare
pgAdmin III
Paintshop Pro X6
I guess ThinkPad users aren't expected to use programs like these any more.

New 2014 X1 Carbon Touch - 1 Week Review

I've had the New 2014 Carbon X1 for about a week now, so I thought I'd post a review about my experiences thus far.
The version I received was the high end model, i7 4th gen, 8gb ram, IPS 2560x1440 touch display. This is the first Lenovo device I have purchased, and I did so at the recommendation of my brother who has owned a T series for the last 3 years. I am a film student, so my intention is to do some light video editing (not rendering) and lightroom/ photoshop work on this device (in addition to daily use of OneNote). I was looking for a powerful ultrabook with good build quality, battery life, and cooling when I purchased this laptop.
Hardware:
The hardware on this device has highly conservative look, which I appreciate. The laptop doesn't draw attention, but is pleasing to the eye when viewed up close. I like the fact that there are not as many creases or lines that run through the body of the device (when compared to other devices), which results in a more free flowing but unified appearance.
The matte plastic on the top of the lid has a slightly rubberized texture, making the device easy to grip. My hands get hot and moist consistently, so the lid does occasionally pick up some faint moisture streaks if I carry it without a case. The slightly rubberized texture is pleasant to the touch and is easy to wipe down with a damp cloth. The inside of the device has a similar plastic around the keys and palm rests, but does not attain as much of a rubber (soft) feel as the lid. The texture on the palm rests is good, and stays cool under extended typing conditions.
At first I was having issues with the keyboard whereby I would press the spacebar too early in a word. This is due to not pressing the letter keys down firmly enough. After adjusting my finger pressure while typing, I have been able to avoid this problem for the most part. The pressure I am applying to the keys is just a hair more than I am used to, but it is something that doesn't cause a major inconvenience. The backlight on the keyboard is excellent, not too bright or too dim at any one moment.
The fingerprint reader took several tries to set up, mostly because there is a discrepancy between the lenovo fingerprint software and the integrated Windows 8 security fingerprint setting. By installing my index finger for login on both programs, I was able to successfully unlock the computer from sleep with a swipe of my finger. I am really impressed by the integration of a light on the sensor. When my print isn't accepted the first time, an amber color light flashes on site. Its easier to just look at the light than have to switch my glance back to the monitor after every swipe (like my previous HP laptop). Upon a successful swipe, a lime color light flashes on the reader.
The screen on the device meets my expectations in every way. The display is IPS which is required for accurate photo editing, and it is LED which makes it very power efficient. Viewing angles are fine, but they could be a little better. Brightness is excellent, but the initial settings have Auto Brightness enabled. On this setting, pumping the brightness up to "100%" really means 100% of what the Auto Brightness function deems appropriate for the current ambient light. To have full manual control, Auto Brightness must be disabled. This results in a much brighter screen with beautiful whites, deep blacks, etc. This is a 300nit display so brightness is very well addressed. As a side note, the laptop was shipped with what appears to be an installed screen protector. There are several holes around the microphones and camera, and a tiny seam along the edge of the screen. The protector is virtually unnoticeable, so I'm leaving it on for the time being. It is much cleaner than any other factory installed laptop screen protector (or film) than I've ever seen (no bubbles, peel-off tabs, or misalignment).
Cooling on the device is good, but it did not exceed my expectations. On power saver mode, the bottom of the laptop is cool to the touch except the back right corner. To the touch the corner feels as warm as something that's been in the sun for 5 minutes or so which is excellent. I have a temp gun so I'll have to check specifics later. On high performance mode, heat significantly increases. Most of the bottom of the laptop heats up even if no intensive tasks are being run. If the laptop is on my lap, I prefer it to be in power saver mode for this reason.
Battery life is good for such a small laptop. I have 8 hours of back to back classes and I type notes basically the whole time. With this laptop, it is entirely possible to go that full period without a charger. So far I have done this twice. The settings I use are Wifi off, low brightness, and I enable high contrast mode in accessibility center so the glaring white of OneNote doesn't blind me during the film screenings.
Webcam looks great for google hangouts, and the microphones are the most sensitive I've ever used. They can pick up the voice of someone to the side and across the room with great clarity.
Overall the weight and feel of the laptop is very pleasing. Such a light weight for its size, and it feels solid to the touch and doesn't flex the slightest when handled different ways (carbon fiber ++). When compared to a macbook air, it is nearly identical in size and weight. However, I find typing on the lenovo is much more pleasant because the front edge of the palm rest isn't sharp enough to dig into my hands.
Software
The Lenovo Solution software (pinned to taskbar upon installation) is easy to use and responsive (unlike similar HP suites). I am actually going to rely on this software for updates instead of disabling it.
For the first few days of use, there was a touch keyboard toolbar button pinned to my start bar that would appear again even after disabling it. I researched the problem and it was permanently removed from the taskbar by uninstalling the touchpad driver and reinstalling it. Odd.
The adaptive row of keys is a good idea, but it is not as responsive as I'd like. When using the visual gestures or dragon voice control, there is significant lag between pressing the adaptive key and the program actually running. Each time, a lenovo window appears and it takes several mouse clicks to get to a functioning state for each button. One thing I am VERY disappointed about is the lack of any play/pause/stop/next/previous buttons for the adaptive row to use with a media player. These buttons are necessary, and not having them is unacceptable in my opinion.
Touch responsiveness is liquid smooth in both power saver and high performance modes. Zooming in on bing maps, drawing with all ten fingers, swiping through metro - all a delightfully lag-free experience.
Windows 8 - ahhhhhh. This is my first device to run windows 8, and it's alright. It'll take some getting used to, but from my experience so far it is responsive and useful in its design. I really want to be able to pin a firefox link to my start screen, but it seems like all I can do is pin the firefox app instead.
As mentioned in a previous post, there are several issues with programs that aren't adapted to the ultra high res display. That discussion can be found here.
The sleeve I purchased for this machine was the "V7 Ultra Protective Sleeve for 13.3-Inch Ultrabook and Notebook". The fit is great (the slightest bit loose on the ends) and the quality is above par for such a low price. I spilled a significant amount of apple juice on the case just yesterday (shakes head) and it protected the notebook well.
Overall Experience:
I'm pleased with my purchase. High price point? YES. For that amount I think the RAM should be at least 16gb and the SSD could be 500gb. Overall it is a pleasure to use and look at. Honestly so many things are right about this machine, it just allows me to focus on my work and stop worrying about my battery level or my trackpad glitching or the CPU overheating or lag or other petty issues that other notebooks make you deal with. That's what I like - its a smooth connection between me and getting things done while away from my desktop.
I haven't edited video on it yet, so that will come in a few weeks. I'm planning on buying an external drive to hold the files while I edit, then just plug it into my desktop when I get home ready to render.

How's the new clickpad?
Does the keyboard flex under reasonable pressure?
Is the adaptive bar actually a pixel-based LCD or just a series of predefined patterns like the really old LCD displays?
The "new" clickpad is very slick. The texture is good but just a little too rubbery for my taste. In comparison with my brother's old T series, I prefer the X1.
Under reasonable pressure, absolutely not. The amount of force it takes for me to flex it is something I'd never do under normal use. It feels very solid in my opinion.
Upon a close inspection, the adaptive touch bar appears to be the old LCD type. I really want those media keys.

Display issue on brand new 2014 X1 Carbon Touch

So I was about to start raving about my X1C that I just received. Loving the display, the keyboard, build quality, etc. I had no gripes and was just browsing away when suddenly the screen did the full glitch. I recognize this as what happens when something's messed with the motherboard/display adapter. So I gave it a reset. All was normal and then it happened again. I was able to replicate it 3-4 times and it keeps happening. I never dropped it or anything. It was always just stationary.
I can't believe this. I had problems with the first gen non-touch and touch. I was hoping by now they have improved.

2014 X1 Carbon + OneLink Pro has difficulties with dual monitors

I just got a new 2014 X1 Carbon maxed out. I also got a new OneLink Pro Hub. Everything is connected using the stock power supplies that came with the device. All drivers and firmware are current. All software that came with the system is still in place and is active. (So please take this all into consideration when suggesting what I try next)
I have two LG Flatron E2442TC displays attached to the OneLink Pro. One is attached via the DisplayPort and one is attached vis the DVI->VGA adaptor that came with the OneLink Pro.
I am running Windows 8.1 as came installed with my computer along with some Intel Display Management software that came installed.
The problem is, I can only sporadically get this configuration to work. My computer can see both E2442 displays. However, when I try to connect to these displays, I get the brilliantly informative message "The display settings could not be saved. Please try a different combination of display settings."
It seems that I can get the VGA setting working on its own. But when I add the screen connected via the DisplayPort, things don't work quite right. (but occasionally they will)
The unusual problem is that the E2442's resolution seems to be fixed to the same resolution of my main display on the laptop (2560x1440) which the E2442 cannot handle. But I cannot change the resolution - the drop down is locked.
I have also tried to use the Intel display applets rather than the Windows screen resolution control panel applet, but that software is so poorly designed that it can't even specify more than two displays and most of the time is unresponsive. (I would love it if I could rid myself of this crapware -- it's not a well designed piece of software)
Is there any solution to this problem? This $2,800 computer system should just work -- I'm wasting days of valuable time with this issue.

I have continued to try and resolve this problem.
I removed the VGA cable and DVI-D->VGA adaptor and put in a DVI-D to DVI-D cable to my monitor. So now I have one monitor going DVI-D to DVI-D and the other going DVI-D to Displayport -- both onto the one link pro.
The system continues to struggle with this. Right now, both displays are working -- but I've had this situation in the past too. It struggled through numerous reboots before it would let me connect both monitors. I was able to connect the DVI-D to DVI-D monitor fairly quickly, but the DVI-D to DisplayPort monitor took a few more tries and initially came up at 680x480 resolution which it said was the best that was supported. After a reboot, it finally let me set both monitors to the max of 1920x1440.
But, as I said before, I've been here before. The computer just seems to struggle to figure out what the monitors are capable of supporting. When I try and connect to them, it seems that it works 50% of the time and really badly fails the other 50%. Once I can't connect, it will take me hours of trying before I can connect again.
This just isn't good enough. Today, when I was explaining that I bought a new Lenovo laptop, a colleague rolled his eyes. It's hard to defend my choice when it doesn't work well.

I did everything recommended on apple store support site and still cannot connect to the network with my new iphone 5 but my co-workers and students (I work for the university) can keep connectivity all the time. I am very unhappy with my new phone

Be patient, Apple is coming out with a update soon, its been reported that they have sent the update to the carriers to test, which means it will be soon. And is suppose to address this issue.

IPad Air says iPad is disabled connect to iTunes and STILL not able to use it. VERY UNHAPPY

After uploading IOS8 on 9-17-14 my iPad Air says "iPad is disabled, connect to iTunes.". I have followed all the suggestions from Apple and tried to erase my iPad, but I am VERY UNHAPPY as none of these have resolved the problem. Apple, please provide the support when you have new downloads...

Apple are not involved in tracking/locating stolen or lost devices. Have you reported it to the police ?
Did you have Find My iPad enabled in Settings > iCloud ? If you did and you had iOS 7 installed on it then it should be harder to remove from your account, and the police could try locating it via http://www.icloud.com

Dual boot OS X 10.10 plus OS X 10.6.8 on new 2014 Mac Mini?

Hi,
I am currently thinking about buying a 2014 Mac Mini. As I still need to use some very expensive (albeit old) software, I would like to run a copy of OS X 10.6.8 (strapped for cash).
I currently own a 2011 MacBook Pro 17" and I have partitioned the disk and run OS X 10.9.5 on 700GB and OS X 10.6.8 on 50GB. This has worked great for the past 2 years. I simply press ‘alt’ on booting and select my OS depending on which software I need to run.
My question is, can I do the same with a new 2014 Mac Mini using one of my Time Machine back-ups (install from Time Machine option on istall)?
I would be very grateful to anyone who can offer me some advice.
Many thanks,

Other than running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Server in a virtual machine as previously suggested your next best option is to consider buying a secondhand older Mac that is capable of running 10.6.8.
Just to make it clearer, 'ordinary' 10.6.8 is not allowed due to Apple's license terms to be run in a virtual machine only the 'server' version is. The server version of 10.6.8 can run normal applications and you do not have to use the server bits itself. If you try installing the 'ordinary' 10.6.8 in to a virtual machine it will not work as they check for this.
The new 2014 Mac mini will not run 10.9.5 either, the 'oldest' version the 2014 model will run is 10.10, it will of course also run 10.10.1.
1)     Older Macs are just that: older and out of warranty. So of course the user is subject to the risk of hardware failure without necessarily much warning and little or no recourse (other than purchasing another older Mac) when the hardware does fail. This may also be a different problem for the OP, as cost appears to be a major consideration here.
2)     The use of Snow Leopard Server in Parallels will cost about $99 retail (less, if some shopping for "discounts" on Parallels is done on the internet).
Installing Snow Leopard Server into Parallels for DUMMIES:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showpost.php?p=17285039&postcount=564
3)     It was a common myth that the Snow Leopard EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion and thereafter on a Mac. That myth has been debunked in the 3-1/2 years since Lion was first released and repeating it now does not make anything "clearer" but only tends to confuse an OP.
In any event whatever remains of that long forgotten debate is now mostly moot since Apple reduced the sales price of Snow Leopard Server by 95% (by telephone orders only; 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A); that is, for the same $20 as it sells Snow Leopard client and it is much easier to install, use and maintain Snow Leopard Server in virtualization, including Parallels.

I have just been told by Adobe that I have to UNINSTALL ALL PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF THEIR APPLICATIONS IN ORDER TO USE THE NEW 2014 VERSIONS. No software update is worth the time it will take to do that!!!!! I don't know about the rest of you but I am woefully disappointed in Adobe. I pay on time every single month SINCE CREATIVE CLOUD BECAME AVAILABLE and now they place this on me? NOT HAPPY.

Oh, and I'm on a MAC, not a PC so how could my database be corrupted?
Shruthi: The caps.db file is located in Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps folder
Shruthi: Can you try uninstalling from Adobe installers.
Susan Meredith: You folks don't understand. Most of us are very excited at the new "bells and whistles" that Adobe has introduced and in the past we've been able to QUICKLY update to the new version. We haven't had to uninstall anything to get the new. We are all working and have deadlines. This is A HARDSHIP ON ADOBE'S USERS AND THEY NEED TO FIX IT ON THAT END. Or give up some monthly fees.
Susan Meredith: There are many ways to uninstall. I can do it through "CleanMyMac". But now I don't trust that Adobe's programs will actually download and then I'm in trouble...and out of business.

I've just purchased a new 2014 15" MacBookPro to replace my much missed 17" MBP. I got the works: OS 10.9.4, 2.8GHz Intel i7, 16GB memory and a 1 TB SSD, but despite the expense, I still don't have a computer that works...
The problem is that every time I try to open any program from Office 2011, I immediately get the following window, for example for Word: "Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." This happens each and every time I try to open Word or other Office 2011 component.
Thinking it might be a licensing issue, I purchased and downloaded a new copy of Office 2011 from Amazon and installed it on my new MBP. Same issue once again.
I tried to remove all copies of Office 2011 from the MBP, but the instructions provided by Microsoft required about three page and seventeen steps and the page was somehow corrupted and would not print in its entirety, nor would it e-mail as anything other than a link to the corrupted page. Not trusting my memory, I decided not to try this without adult supervision.
I used Disk Utility to repair Disk Permissions, as described on an existing thread regarding the same problem, but to no avail.
I removed and later replaced the "Microsoft User Data" folder from the Documents folder, but that was no help.
I have copied the short version of the "Microsoft Error Reporting log version: 2.0," below, for those of you with a deeper knowledge of the internal workings, or non-workings of things Mac when crossed with things MS.

How can we suggest a new DBA OCE certification for very large databases?
What web site, or what phone number can we call to suggest creating a VLDB OCE certification.
The largest databases that I have ever worked with barely over 1 Trillion Bytes.
Some people told me that the results of being a DBA totally change when you have a VERY LARGE DATABASE.
I could guess that maybe some of the following topics of how to configure might be on it,
* Partitioning
* parallel
* bigger block size - DSS vs OLTP
* etc
Where could I send in a recommendation?
Thanks Roger

I wish there were some details about the OCE data warehousing.
Look at the topics for 1Z0-515. Assume that the 'lightweight' topics will go (like Best Practices) and that there will be more technical topics added.

after a restart it works for a time, but always slow. I went to the Applestore this afternoon and the made a check and said it would be the logicboard and they would have to change it for CHF 600 and it would be ready in 10 - 15 days
