New docking stations Basic, Pro and Ultra Docks

Hi All, 
Im new to these forums but wanted to see if any one else had had experience with the new docking stations. I just upgraded to a T440s which needed the new docking station... I had to get two of them for home and work. They are SO hard to put the PC in compared to the old series 3 docks for my old T410s... those things you did not even need to look when you put the PC down.. they just sliped in.. but the new ones, OMG each morning it takes me several tried to get them to dock.. I am thinking I am damaging the PC when I attempt to do this..
That being said, i am still a fan over EVERYTHING lenovo... 
Any one else had similar experiences?
Tom

Hi All, I just received my T440s along with the new Ultra Dock.  I have the T440s in the dock and connected to my TV used as monitor using HDMI cable.  I hit f7 and can do "PC screen/extend/duplicate/2nd screen only, no problem.  I chose the 2nd screen only for my work.  Then I finished work and close the lid but when I come back to restart the laptop, I can only see the display on the laptop and no matter how I toggle using f7, I cannot display anything on my TV.  The only way I can get back on track (2nd screen only mode) is to un-dock my laptop and hit f7 again.  I never experienced this with my T410 using the older dock.  Please help.

    Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

  • I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock.  About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor.  But the computer locks up.

    Do you have Parallels installed by any chance?  There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this.  You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels.  An update corrects the problem:

    The pin in picture looks liek a 5mm pin and one one on docking station is a smart pin. So you would need something like the one in picture in this link.
    In the picture observe the component in left hand bottom corner.

    I would say, take the adaptor to store and get one.
    Wish you luck,

  • I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning)

    I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning). I would be glad to get your help.

    If you get the 30 pin dock get an Apple genuine adapter the rip-offs often do not work correctly
    If you buy a lightning dock a company called Sandberg makes the reverse adapter ,I have one and it works correctly
    As tonefox said i got the sandberg from Amazon

  • The project was saved in a newer version of Premiere Pro and cannot be opened in this version

    I edited a project on CC on one computer and saved it on my external. My friend took the same project to edit it on her computer under her own name and licence. Both of us recently upgraded to CC. But the same project that worked a few hours back on Premiere Pro CC, does not work now also on Premiere Pro CC and I received a message saying: The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." Can you please help us.?

    Hi alexxxkid,
    You should be able to import the xml into an earlier version.
    Backward compatibility has never been there with Premiere and it is always recommended not to update in the middle of a project.
    As far as the crash is concerned, please tell me more about it so that i can help you to the best of my knowledge.
    Thanks,
    Rameez

  • "The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version." - Except it wasn't!

    Last night I saved a project I've been working on for a couple of days. It's been fine all along. Today, when I went to open it, it's no longer listed in the recently opened files on startup and i get this message:
    "The project was saved in a newer version of premiere pro and cannot be opened in this version."
    Except it wasn't! I use Premiere CC and it's been fine all along. I can no longer open it at all...
    Any thoughts? Very frustrating!

    One more item.   In using PP CC2014 for the first time with this project, I have run into multiple issues making this project very frustrating.  When adding a sequence to the master sequence, I have to render the audio each time in order to see all of the audio waves. You have to keep doing this over and over, even though you've already rendered a sequence already.
    I am getting error messages when rendering the project saying there are issues compiling the movie.  Getting same type error message if I try to export.  I narrowed it down to two sequences keeping the program from rendering without the error messages.  They each had a tiff file.  I deleted them and they rendered.  Not sure what this issue was with these particular files since I have other tiff files in the project.  Once the rendering of all sequences was done, all the individual sequences were closed and the master was the only one open.  I didn't close them.  So now to edit any of the sequences I have to go back and open them.
    The only thing this project has in it are titles created in PP, a few graphics, mostly tiff tiles and some jpeg and the dissolve effect.  That's it.  Seems like they should have done more with this version before putting it out there.  Maybe that's why there are two separate applications for PP?  Who knows.  I will be uninstalling PP CC2014 when this project is complete.

    The only way to do that is to Purchase it from the Mac App Store.

    In that case... Install it on your New Mac using the Disc(s) and have all your Serial Numbers handy in case you are asked for them during the Install.
    After the successful install... run Software Update to get any and all Updates... Then Restart your Mac and you should be good to go.
    PS:
    Make sure your MBPr is connected to the Mains for this Long process...

  • Bose Docking Station, Bose Headphones, and Shure e3 are incompatible

    Can you believe it!!! Over $800 in above-mentioned accessories are incompatible!! Has anyone tried the extention for the headphones.
    When I docked the Iphone in the Bose docking staion, I got a warning that it was incompatible? Will the Bose damange the iphone?

    You are referring to the "Works with iPhone" program. What this refers to is this:
    Devices designed to work with iPhone will have the "Works with iPhone" decal on them. This means that they have been designed so that they are resistant to the radio interferrence that GSM cell phones can generate. For example, have you ever been on your GSM cell phone and stepped too close to a radio or other electronic device with a speaker and heard a buzzing noise. "Works with iPhone" simply refers to devices that have been designed to be resistant to this type of interferrence.
    Older devices, i.e. Bose Radio will also work with iPhone. They just arn't "Work with iPhone" certified. If one of these devices is connected to an iPhone, a warning message is displayed on the iPhone that says, "This accessory is not made to work with the iPhone." It then asks you if you want to turn on airplane mode. All this means is that the iPhone may generate some interferrence that could cause the buzzing noise mentioned earlier. Turning on airplane mode just turns off the phone's radio, hense no interferrence.
    You can use your older devices with the iPhone. These devices WILL NOT damage the iPhone, nor will using them invalidate your warranty.

  • W540 + Dock station (40A20170EU), Audio and HDMI problems - SOLVED

    Hello,
    I have recently bought your dock station (40A20170EU) and as soon as I started using it the problems began:
     - Audio jack on the dock is not working and is emitting static.
     - As soon as I connect a display via HDMI port (on the dock station) my laptop display starts flickering (the display was tested on the PC and works).
    I have updated the dock firmware to 2.21.000, nothing changed. 
    PS. The second monitor running from the docking stations display port is working fine. 
    I need your help! 
    Thank you!

    SOLVED.
    1) Removed all display drivers.
    2) In BIOS I changed the display setting from standard to advanced.
    3) Reinstalled all the display drivers.
    4) Reconnect the HDMI monitor and now it’s working.
    5) WINNING J
    Thanks anyway.

  • HT1665 Bluetooth docking station speakers not working when docked

    I have a new docking station a Pioneer XW-BTS3-K which is certified by apple to work with my iPhone 4. The remote control and buttons on the docking station all work fine when my iPhone is docked and the phone charges. But iTunes will not play through the docking station speakers although the speakers work when connected through bluetooth.
    The Pioneer website is not very helpfull as it has no information on which ios software the station is compatible with.
    Is there something wrong with my iPhone?

    it's unclear what you mean when you say itunes
    itunes on ios is the store bit and the play music part is called just music
    itunes on computers is both
    if you dock an ios device the dock would likely be prepared to play music from the docked device
    and stop computers play to it using bluetooth

    Thanks Linc ......you were right on the money. Your help has been awsome. I spent 3 hours last night doing stuff with out any solutions. May I ask you another question if you have the time and patience please. My orriginal setup was 2 windows laptops with XP on them connected with a timecapsule attached to a router. Hence the time capsule made a wireless signal aswell as being an external hard drive. On one of the laptops i have a printer attached to it which was shared so that the other computer could print documents through the network however the computer attached to the printer has to be on. Do you know what i have to do so these new 2 mac book pros can print to that printer? Thanks again for all your previous help. Nick
