New C20's Are super loud! Over 65db! Is this normal?

We just recieved two new C20's. However, they are super loud. I've measured the sound at around 65db. I've set the fan mode to "quiet" in the bios, but that made no difference.
Is this normal?
Thanks!
Solved!

Thank you for being patient with my clumsy entrance into this forum. Please be aware that I am first a database manager and second a PC tech. My network and hardware manager has thrown up his arms on this and only my tenacity, some PC maintenance experience and a brain qualify me to get to the bottom of this issue. I am having to look a lot of stuff up that you might consider common knowledge for someone taking on this task. This is also our first Windows 7 machine.
That said, here is what I have in response:
1) The heat sink fan assembly (per the user guide identification) is plugged into the "brown" board header
2) The rear fan assemblies(2) (per the user guide identification) are plugged into a white board header in their vicinity. They are the noise makers.
3) BIOS Version/Date   LENOVO 61KT43AUS, 8/31/2010 The current version is 61KT45A so I downloaded the files per instructions on the website. However, it is much easier to say, "Have you tried flashing to the latest level..." than it is to do it. WINPHLASH failed on what the error message says is a permissions issue but is not. I will have to risk turning my brand new machine into a brick the old fashioned way, with a bootable CD. Since for me that will take an hour or more for research and execution, I will let you know how it goes.
4) The "driver" I mentioned is
LENOVO Fan Speed Control Driver for Windows           version 1.0.1.9, 07/31/2009
================================================================================
Operating Systems supported
Windows(R) XP/2000/2003/Vista/Win 7 Driver. 64bit.
Process provider supported

Dialing area code for local call - is this normal?

Just had my FIOS triple play installed over the weekend. In the recent past I've used VOIP providers Optimum Voice, Vonage, Packet8, MagicJack and Ooma, and FIOS is the only one that makes me dial my area code to make a local call (I'm in area code 516, where it is not normally necessary to do so).
Is this a bug in the system, and if so, are there any plans to fix it? When I first signed up with Optimum Voice they had a similar problem, but that was 9 years ago!

It is disgraceful that when I signed up for FIOS that I was not informed that I would have to us my area code to call my next door neighbor!!! My realtives that use Fios do not have to do that. They advertise like everything is local buy when I called to complain I'm on the phone with people in Texas who do not even work for Verizon!!! I will be call the Public Service Commission, Better Business Bureau and Consumer Affairs on Monday. The Technical Support people who I waited on hold 15 minutes to speak to were rude and say if I pay more I can have this issue resolved!!! Bait and Switch if I ever heard it!!

Please help - Brand new X1 Carbon defective out of the box - is this normal? what should I do next?

Hello all,
So, as a loyal Lenovo customer I decided to purchase the X1 Carbon 2nd Gen (non-touch, I5 version).
Last week I finally received it.
Unfortunately, the first thing I noticed was a defective touchpad - very loose, the right bottom corner was not solid
enough and made a weird noise while clicking it. It drove me crazy since I am used to the top build quality the Thinkpad series offers.
I took to the local Lenovo service center, they actually replaced it on the spot and it made it better, not great but better. I still think there is something wrong there, since the bottom two "buttons" don't feet and sound as good as the upper ones.
But that I can tolarate.
The thing that really pissed me off was this: To me demise, after using the laptop in a dark room I noticed this massive screen bleed :
(apologize for the ling stream of pics, didn't know how to thumbnail them)
My question to you guys, is this okay? is this an acceptable bleed? or should I do whatever it takes to get it repaired/replaced?
I just hope they will know how to handle this here at local center, as from my experience dealing with computer reps here, the local Lenovo agent (which is actually the importer) will not replace it for me (their excuse is that it wasn't bought in this country)
This is amazing, in one year Lenovo has lost it's entire reputation over the 2nd Gen X1 carbon.
Please help me. what should I do?
Thank you very much.

Loud optical drive - is this normal?

On my base 13 inch MBP the optical drive sounds pretty loud and i was wondering if this is normal.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1723
it sounds exactly like that

As long as it has no trouble reading or writing discs, I wouldn't worry about it.

HT4628 my itunes update is taking a long time, so far over 10hrs, is this normal?

I have just started to update itunes to the latest software version and it is taking a log time, 10 hrs or more so far. Is this normal.
The blue update bar is compleatly full as if the upload is complete but is still running package scripts. Can any one advise if this is normal and i should leave it, or could there be a problem?
thanks

no, that is not normal, quit and try downloading again, if that does not work, trash the Itunes application, not any of the libraries, just the application and try downloading again. With a dsl or faster it should only take less than hour depending on your type of connection

Some audio clips in timeline are super quiet

I've had this issue many times before, in the past I've just thrown my hands up in the air and started again, but this is starting to become a very big issue for me.
Some clips (when I play the timeline) are super quiet (maxing out around -48dB) yet when I play the same clip in the source monitor it plays properly (maxing out around -6dB). The clip has no filters, the gain is set to 0dB and volume is set to 0dB.
Below I have two clips, both shot on the same camera, same setup within minutes of each other. Both with 0dB Gain and 0dB Volume
The one on the left is barely audible, where the one on the right is ridiculously loud.
However, when I nest the clip on the left and open the nested clip, the volume is good again, however the volume of the nested clip in the original timeline is still unuseable. But if i try and nest out both clips into a new timeline, the issue persists into the new timeline.
I've deleted all the files on my scratch drive, and I still have the issue.

The clip files are way too large for me to be able to upload them. And I don't think it has anything to do with the files themselves as the same clip will behave in some timelines but not others.
I did a quick screen capture so you can see the levels etc.
I start by playing the clips in the original timeline and I get no volume I then nest them, and go into the nested clip... and suddenly I have volume (as hideous as it is, but this is just an example). So same clips same settings, different results.
BTW the two clips here are different from the previous clips. I started the previous timeline again from scratch and it worked for a while, then my clips just started randomly losing volume again.

Brand new Yoga 2 11 - Super slow web browsing

We got a new Yoga 2 11 this morning, and the web browsing is excruciatingly slow, whether using IE, FireFox or Chrome. The only downloads or installs of any kind have been IE & FF.
Based on searching this forum, I increased the minimum processor power to 65%, but that was only an incremental improvement. Some page loads are still taking over a kminute, and an attempt to proceed with a page that isn;t full loaded (i.e. a login), just crashes everything. I ran SpeedTest, and the download and upload speeds are all 3x that of my work machine (a Latitude that is about three years old)...but the Latitude has "normal" load times.
The only other observation I have is that it seemed better behaved before the Windows updates were applied, but there was maybe only 15 minutes of use there, not enough to reliably establish a baseline.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what I might be missing? This might be going right back to the store, as it's not really an inprovement over the 3 yr old Asus netbook, which is less powerful than most phones...

Well in general, Ideapad computers have driver issuess.
If you like we can try teamviewer and try to fix your issue.
Teamviewer does not need to be installed. It will give me temporary access into your computer to fix the issue. When the issue is fixed, simply delete the program. Anyhow, once you close the program, the password is reset and the ID blocked until next launch. I also figured a 1 day old computer has nothing important on it. So if you like, I can try to eliminate the hassle for you and try to fix the computer.
Should you feel uncomfortable with anything, you can close the program at any time.
Based on the speed test, I doubt it is an internet problem. I am thinking software problems.

How do I add extra pages to template documents in the new version of pages which carry over the same formatting, borders etc?

Hi,
Does anyone know how how to add extra pages to template documents in the new version of Pages which carry over the same formatting, borders, styles etc? In iWorks09, all styles, borders etc just used to carry over to the next page. In the new Pages, this doesn't seem to happen. Unless I'm missing something.
Any help would be appreciated.

Everything is a matter of degree! (Speaking for myself).

New web designer - too much space over CSS-styled text in Firefox

Hi all:
This is my first post to the forum. I've been a Dreamweaver 8
user for a few weeks and think it's cool, though I have run into
some problems. Here's my latest: I've defined a style for my
headers in my main external CSS with the follow code:
.body_header_1 {
font-family: Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 24px;
line-height: 30px;
font-weight: bolder;
color: #31009C;
font-style: italic;
padding-top: 7px;
padding-right: 7px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
padding-left: 7px;
height: 40px;
I'm using this to insert text at the top of a cell in a
nested table as a header. When displayed in Iexplore, this page is
fine. However, if loaded into Firefox I get an undesirable extra
whitespace over the text. I've tried everything I can think of to
get rid of it but no dice. Is there some parameter I'm setting
wrong? Maybe something to do with the nested table? Thanks in
advance. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

> font-weight: bolder;
Although this seems like it should work, it rarely does.
Normal and bold
are the only ones that are reliable.
Can you show me the HTML where this is used?

Can't access my backup to store on new phone. i see that it was backed up yesterday at 1:39 got the new iPhone 6 my contacts came over but none of my pictures

can't access my backup to store on new phone. i see that it was backed up yesterday at 1:39 got the new iPhone 6 my contacts came over but none of my pictures

What photos are you referring to? Are these photos that are in the Camera Roll and Photo Stream albums on the device you backed up, or are they in different albums? Are you signed onto the new phone with the same iCloud ID? Are the Photo Stream photos ones that have been taken in the past 30 days?
When you set up the new phone did you set it up using that backup?
Cheers,

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

Looking for new laptop what are the differences between pro and air? Besides size. Does the air preform like the pro?

The NEW macbook Pro and Air are EXTREMELY close in form factor
The newest macbook Pro is essentially a larger macbook Air with Retina display and options for speed in increasing prices up to an independent graphics and quad core processor.
both Air and new Pro now have PCIe SSD and permanent RAM.
The Air is the lightweight portable form factor, fast to boot and shut down, but with longer battery life than any of the macbook pro in 13"
Now the new macbook Pro and macbook Air are extremely close in form factor and nature.
both have 802ac wifi
both have permanent RAM, no superdrive
both are slim profiles and SSD
The only real differences now are (in the most expensive Pros) faster processors and quadcore processors and top end model autonomous graphics.
....and of course the retina display
both are now "very good for travel"
Other than features the form factor of the Air and Pro are VERY close now,....so now its merely a matter of features and price more than anything.
You need an external HD regardless of what you get for backups etc. Drop into an Apple store and handle both and make your choice based on features, such as Retina or non-retina, .... both at a distance now look like the same computer.
The Pro weighs more, ....but nowhere near what it used to just a month ago on the older macbook Pros
The NEW macbook Pro is a different creature entirely than the older macbook Pro, .....the new Pro is thicker than the Air, but id frankly call the NEWEST Pro a "macbook Air with Retina display" , or
Maybe a “macbook Air PRO with Retina display”
Instead of Air VS Pro now,.....its really a smooth transition from Air to pro without comparing say, 2 different creatures, now its like contrasting a horse from a race horse.
Either one in 8gig of RAM (preferably)... the 4gig upgrade costs very little, the I7 you will notice only 15% faster on heavy applications over the I5, and NOTHING on most APPS.....I5 has longer battery life.
As you see below, the non-Retina 13" AIR is 82% of the Macbook with Retina display in resolution
there is no magical number of pixels per inch that automatically equates to Retina quality.
http://www.cultofmac.com/168509/why-you-might-be-disappointed-by-the-resolution- of-those-new-retina-display-macs-feature/
A huge internal SSD isnt a game changer for anything, you need an external HD anyway
what you WONT READ on Apple.com etc. is that the larger SSD are MUCH FASTER due to SSD density
"The 512GB Samsung SSD found in our 13-inch model offers roughly a 400MB/s increase in write speeds over the 128GB SanDisk/Marvell SSD"
