New laptop smell

I just opened my new thinkpad T430 and was met by a strong smell.
It doesn't smell good, and it smells just like horses smell. Or rather what comes out of them.
I had to distance myself from the laptop and started unpacking some accessories, and they smell more or less the same, not as strong, but still the same smell.
It is a bit disappointing and it feels like i just got a product which was made in a stable and it currently prevents me from using it.
It would be helpful to avoid this smell with future products, and any advice on how to reduce it in my laptop is very welcome.
Otherwise, I'm very happy with my laptop.

That is most unusual.  Is it possible that the parcel delivery service used a vehicle that hauled bags of fertilizer?
The good news is that it should disappear in time.  Speaking from experience as a horseman, when one works in a stable, one no longer notices the smell of manure.

  • Can I return my new laptop to lenovo because of its quality problem?

    IBM is one of the best brand as I know, especially showing us not only high quality of products but the service.
    But now one thing happened to me, if I don't have this case I can't believe. I found there is something with the laptop(T61 Model 7658CTO) the same day when I got the new laptop on June 3rd, 2008. Then I call 800, a lot of 800 calls,at last I were told that I should contact send it back first if I were to get another new one. Three days later I got the box sent by Lenovo, and I return it back in terms of what the paper shown.
    Unfortunately the problems of the laptop still exist when I turn on my laptop after it repaired. What's wrong with my laptop, this is new one, I think IBM should provide high quality products.
    I don't know how to describe the weird sound , it sounds like two or more micphone opened clost to each other. It is very harsh.
    I want to get one new laptop from Lenovo because of the quality of product and customer service or can I return the laptop?
    I would appreciate any advice you can give me.

    Like Obama says... yes you can
    I did it last week because I bought an iPhone 4 as a wedding gift but then I changed my mind and wanted an iPad, so the bride could use it together with the groom (while the phone is personal).
    I returned the iPhone to the apple store and I paid the difference to buy the 32GB iPad, no problems
    I didn't opened the case, but the guy at the apple store told me I could have returned the phone even if it was opened. It must be undamaged tough.

  • I have ipad 1 how do i move my library from my very old computer to my new laptop i dont know what the difference is in mac or pc either and i havent backed up my library on the old one because its so slow

    i have an ipad 1 how do i move my library (for old ipod nano)( this a brand new ipad i hvaent synced yet) thats on a 2001 computer to my new laptop i got last christmas. i havent backed up anything cause the old computer is too slow. i tried home sharing but it just wont work. the help gave me an option of moving everything on my ipad and then moving it to the laptop. im just afraid that it will delete everyhting cause it doesnt mention ipad

    I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
    Plug your phone into iTunes
    Click setup as a new device
    Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
    Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
    Plug your phone back in
    Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
    This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device.

  • Can I install creative suite 6 on more than one device? (I've recently acquired a new laptop for on the go work, and am curious if I can install my adobe software onto such).

    As of recently, I've purchased a new laptop.
    Seeing as how I'm quite used to using my drawing tools in Photoshop and Illustrator (my trusty Wacom Intuos Pro),
    I'm curious as to if I'm able to install my current purchased version of Creative Suite Design Standard 6 onto my laptop (whilst still having it installed on my main at-home work desktop).
    Thank you very much for taking the time to oversee my question, and hopefully respond with an answer.
    Much thanks!

    Thank you for the assistance!
    I shall try to install once I arrive home from school this evening.
    Again, much appreciated!

  • 2-3 old ipod touch is no longer syncing to itunes library, which was recently moved to new laptop.

    Recently moved my library of music, audiobooks, and podcasts to new laptop with Windows 8, at which time I upgraded my itunes software as well. My 2-3 year old ipod touch is no longer syncing properly. Audiobooks and podcasts are fine (after much effort), but all of two songs out of an extensive music library are the only ones syncing. I see them in my library on the new computer and have managed to sync them to my iphone 5 as well. Ipod touch appears to have ample file storage space left. What gives? Is the i-pod touch already useless with the latest Itunes software? Operator error? Hardware problem? I don't know what to think. Have been using ipods for years without this issue.

    Salut, et un accueil chaleureux aux forums!
    Not certain I can help, but...

  • I have a new pc, and when updating ipad software it will erase all apps etc, is there any way to stop this from happening and make my new laptop my ipads "home" pc???

    I have a new laptop, and have copied over my existing itunes libary, but when i connect my ipad, and go to update the software to the new version it warns me that it will wipe all my apps etc..... How can i stop this from happening and make my new laptop the "home" for my ipad??
    Any help gratefully received! :-)

    Macs use an application called Migration Assistant to copy material from the old Mac to the new one. The macs are connected together and each runs Migration Assistance and the user chooses what stuf to copy onto the new Mac.
    Unfortunately I do not know how to do this between pcs or between a Mac and a Pf or even if it's even possible.

  • My laptop was stolen and with it my iTunes, 2 questions how do I get it on the new laptop and deactivate that one and the iPod that was also stolen

  • TS3212 I just installed iTunes (from the apple site) on to my new laptop.  When I click on the icon to open I get a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  Now what do I do and ho

    I just installed iTunes on my new laptop.  When I click on the desktop icon I receive a pop up that says "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes".  I have no idea what this means or what to do about it.  I can't even find a file on my computer like the one referred to in the pop up.  I am currently considering keeping my old laptop if it is the only way for me to continue to access iTunes.  What should I do to fix this?

    What version of iTunes are you using? An .itl file is something that Windows uses, or very old versions of iTunes on Mac. The library file on Macs is now .xml and has been since late iTunes 4.
    Is iTunes running ok without any problems after you OK that message? If it is, then you may be able to ignore it if you can't account for why you're getting it. But make sure you take backups in case something happens in the future.

  • Renewed my monthly plan , downloaded creative cloud desktop app on new laptop, go to apps, but i dont have an option to install photoshop, I have it installed on two other laptops but both laptops were damaged and i cant access them to delete the installe

    hello, i ordered photoshop on creative cloud in August 2014 on a monthly plan, had no problems installing and using etc, until both mine and my girlfriends laptops were damaged. I then stopped paying my monthly plan. and PS was deactivated. I recently got a new laptop which im using currently, it is an aspire one with windows 7. I paid my debt to adobe to reactivate, Creative Cloud Photography plan (one-year) . I then downloaded creative cloud and logged in as usual, i go to the apps page to install PS but it only has an option that says TRY. i looked into the problem and found that with my account i can only have PS installed on two devices, and the only two solutions i saw was to uninstall on the other devices and then re install. This is my problem, my girlfriend chucked her laptop straight in the bin whilst I have mine in the cupboard in pieces not working. or the other option was to open a new account with adobe. I dont really want to follow that option as I have just paid my debt and subscription for the next month and i dont want to change my email address associated with the adobe account. Any advice or solutions will be appreciated, thank you.

    The purchase is active now, we have recieved the payment. You have one activation left.
    Current Plan:
    Creative Cloud Photography plan (one-year)
    Account Activated:
    20-Aug-2014
    Since there is no billing issue, please try to install & activate the CC, in case of any issue contact Adobe Support via Contact Customer Care

  • How do i transfer the music from my iphone 4 to my new laptop which uses Windows 8?

         So yesterday I bought a new laptop for college. I have an iPhone 4 with all my music and stuff on it, and i want to transfer the songs that are on my iphone to my new computer.

    Hello there, parker428.
    The following Knowledge Base article should prove very helpful:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    Specifically the following:
    Transferring purchases
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod has your purchased content from the iTunes Store, you can transfer the content to a computer that is authorized for your Apple ID.
    Note: This option only works for content you purchased from the iTunes Store (as opposed to content from other sources, such as CDs you may have imported). For content you did not purchase from the iTunes Store,synchronization occurs in one direction only. This means your content can be copied from a computer to your iOS device, but cannot be copied from your device to a computer.
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose Authorize This Computer.
    Enter your Apple ID and password. Then, click the Authorize button.
    Connect your device your computer. If it is synced with another iTunes library, you may be asked if you want to "Erase and Sync" or "Transfer Purchases."
    If that alert appears, click Transfer Purchases.
    Important: Clicking Erase and Sync will delete any existing content currently on your device. The content would then be replaced with the content that is on the computer.
    If you were not offered the option to transfer purchases:
    After connecting your device to the computer, its icon appears in iTunes. Click the icon.
    From the File > Devices menu, choose "Transfer Purchases from 'Your device name.'"
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro D.

  • Syncing iphone and ipod to new laptop

    You won't lose them, but they will be erased from the phone then put back on (so it may take a while).

  • ITunes musical library located on a WD 2TB, ext. drv. Computer destroyed by virus; ED survived. Bought new laptop, connected ED. Not able to see library. ED shows as 'G:' 95% full. How can I reconnect my old library to new laptop?

    I had my iTunes musical library on an ext. drv. WD 2TB, ‘MY BOOK ESSENTIAL'. Three weeks ago, my computer was infected by a virus that fried it. It did not affect the external drive. I bought a new computer: a laptop, Dell XPS, Intel Core i7-2630QM CPU, Windows 7 Home Premium. I have been able to connect the WD external drive; however, I am not able to see the musical library in my iTunes or Explorer. ‘My Computer’ shows the external drive as ‘G:’ 95% full. It reads, 32.1 GB free of 1.36 TB. When I click on the drive to see its contents, it shows nothing. The library in iTunes also shows nothing. Can anyone help, please? How can I reconnect my old musical library to my new laptop and iTunes? Many thanks.

    Hmm, viruses don't generally "fry" drives. They can make bootable operating systems not bootable, hide data, and corrupt executable files. Software can potentially wipe all the data from the drive but it shouldn't be able to physically damage the drive. Bah! What's done is done.
    As to unhiding your files assuming they are just hidden....
    Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press enter. Type the following at the prompt and then press enter:
    attrib -h -s -r g:\*.* /d /s
    This tells windows to clear the hidden, read-only, and system flags from all files on the drive, assuming of course your profile has the power to "see" the files and change them.
    If that doesn't work then you may need to take ownership of the drive first. The drive may have security settings that make it "belong" to an account on your old system. Right-click on the drive in Windows Explorer and click Properties. Click the Security tab, the Advanced button, the Owner tab, then the Edit tab. Make yourself the owner, then you can make any other changes to the security settings you want to back on the Permissions tab. (If you can't change the owner log out and log back in as Administrator). For iTunes your account (or everyone) and SYSTEM need full access to all files. Any changes you make should be applied to "This folder, subfolders and files", should be inheritable and you should also replace the permissions on all child objects.

  • I just got a new laptop, and just downloaded itunes.. can i plug my ipod into my new laptop without losing any of my songs?

    I know this is probably a very common question, but I've heard too many different answers so I'd just like to make sure I know the correct one.
    So I just got a new laptop yesterday because my other one fried.. I just downloaded itunes and was just about to plug in my ipod but then hesitated because I didn't know whether if I would lose all my songs or not. Will I lose my songs if I connect it to the new itunes? Thank You for your help!

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • Can't get adobe reader to install on my new laptop with windows 8

    I can't get adobe reader to install onto my new laptop with windows 8. Basically what happens is that I start the download from the adobe screen by clicking the yellow download button, then I click run (I've also tried save and run), then I allow the program to make changes to my hard drive, and then finally a blank grey box appears in the in the middle of the screen, titled "adobe reader installer". After this box appears nothing else happens. I've let it sit for at least 30 minutes and still nothing. I've also disabled my pop up blocker, and set the security settings to default as suggested in other posts. Unfortunately this is the only pdf program that works for the site we have to use to write contracts, so I need to get this figured out asap. Thanks in advance for any help and advice.
