Not Getting "Undock" Option in Windows 7 with W520 in Docking Station

I just bought a W520 which is my 5th ThinkPad in about 10 years.  This one is different in that I don't get the option to "Undock" in the Windows 7 "Shutdown" option list.  I also noticed the W520 doesn't seat as securely into the docking station as my prior ThinkPads, but the docking station ports all work correctly.
Is there something wrong with my hardware or Windows 7 settings?

Hi all
I guess, this article would help

If the undock option is not available, you could just put your laptop into sleep mode (or simply close the lid by default) and just undock the docking station from it. Resuming from sleep mode does not take much time either.
Have a nice day!

  • HT1296 When synching Outlook Contacts and calendars with iTunes for Windows, I do not get the option to "Synch Contacts with". It says, and cannot be changed, that it is synching with iCloud.  How do I get iTunes to give me an option other than iCloud?

    Using iTunes for Windows to synch my Outlook Contacts and Calendars into my iPhone 5, with the iPhone Device designated and in the Info tab, I do not have the option to "Synch Contacts with", but have an unchangeable message that it is synching with iCloud. How do I create that option to synch with Outlook?

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

    Hello Nikkii,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    iOS: Troubleshooting FaceTime and iMessage activation
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4268
    Troubleshooting telephone-number activation (iPhone only)
    After each step, toggle FaceTime and iMessage off and then on in Settings > Messages and Settings > FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Ensure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. Tap Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: If Set Automatically is on but the incorrect time zone is displayed, turn Set Automatically off and then choose the correct time zone, date, and time. Then turn Set Automatically on again.
    Ensure that FaceTime has not been restricted: Settings > General > Restrictions > FaceTime.
    Verify that you can send SMS messages. You need a valid SMS messaging plan to activate FaceTime.
    Contact your carrier to verify that there are no restrictions or blocks on text messages. Blocks on text messaging will prevent iMessage and FaceTime registration.
    If you are unable to activate iMessage or FaceTime on a device after remote wiping it, wait at least 24 hours and try again.
    If "Waiting for Activation" is displayed, leave FaceTime and iMessage enabled for 24 hours. Toggling FaceTime or iMessage off and on will cause the registration process to start over.
    Best of luck,
    Mario

  • If someone messages my iphone 6 with the new quick video option when I get it I do not get the option to keep. Therefore it never vanishes. If I send a quick message video to them it has keep listed below the video on theirs.

    1. Every iPod, since the first generation model back in 2001 (of which I am proud to be an original owner) has always scratched on all surfaces – front, back, you name it, but basically everything scratches and this is nothing new. If you toss your shiny new cell phone into your pocket with your car keys it is also bound to be scratched. Just because the iPod costs about ten times more than your cell phone doesn't mean that the iPod is scratch-proof or will stop a bullet.
    If you go out and buy a brand new, scratchless BMW are you going to expect it to never get a scratch or fingerprint on it? Excuse me, but get real or get a case for it.
    2. Transferring video to the iPod was meant to be "easy" for videos that you have purchased over iTunes. It gets more complicated when you want to "back up" your DVDs or avi files that you have on your computer. Unfortunately, QuickTime Pro is not the fastest option for converting to m4v format. There are dozens of applications out there that will rip your DVDs to your hard drive and a handful more which will take this file and convert it to an iPod-friendly format.
    3. It's possible to use your iPod with more than one computer without it being erased. When you connect the iPod to a computer which isn't the first one you used it with, it will say that the iTunes library is not the same one on your iPod and whether or not you want to overwrite the iPod. Obviously you can click no. In the iPod's preferences (found in iTunes), click "manually transfer songs and playlists". You can now take single songs or entire albums from your secondary computer and put them on your iPod.

  • I was trying to merge my iPhone contacts with my mac.  However, after the info tab at the sync I do not get the option to merge.  only overwrite the iPhone or the mac.

  • I have an iPad 2 and the newest apple tv. I do not get the option on my iPad to mirror on AirPlay. I've tried all the suggestions I've seen. Does anyone have a new idea?

    I have an iPad 2 and the newest apple tv. I do not get the option to turn mirroring on in the AirPlay function. I have tried the suggestions I've seen on here so far, but nothing has worked. Has anyone come up with a fix to this problem?

    Your Apple TV and iOS device (iPad) need to be on the same network subnet.  If they are you can verify when playing that the ATV is set as the output device by clicking the icon to the the right of the fast-forwrd button.  Or you can double-click the home button and swipe left twice to see this.

    If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

  • I was not given the option to purchase applecare + with iPhone 5.I tried calling Apple customer service, the automated process took my info but then came back and said too busy to help you now. How can I buy it now?

    I was not given the option to purchase applecare + with iPhone 5.I tried calling Apple customer service, the automated process took my info but then came back and said too busy to help you now. How can I buy it now?

    You should call Apple but you should get an email from Apple. I got one a few minutes ago and this is what they said about AppleCare+ :
    Thank you for your recent iPhone 5 purchase at the Apple Store.
    We would like to let you know that every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.
    We noticed you weren't given the opportunity to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone. If you would like to extend your coverage for only $99, please reply to this email by September 21st.
    After that date, if you would still like to purchase AppleCare+ within the first thirty days of receiving your iPhone, you can call AppleCare at 800-MY-IPHONE or visit an Apple Retail Store.
    Thank you for shopping with Apple.
    Sincerely,
    Apple Online Store Team

  • Do not find the option for windows when I press the the option key during restart, since I downloaded Lion

    I still do not find any option for windows when I restart my mac when pressing the option key.  It used to go to windows when I pressed the option key during a restart but since I have downloaded Lion, it always go to mac.  I do not want to make a permanent switch. ANy suggestions on how to get back to using the option key?

    You probably need to reinstall your Windows machine.
    I'm not certain, but I have a feeling the install of Lion wipes it out, going by the number of threads started along similar lines since Lion's release.

    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    I am trying to import standard midi file that I created in Band in a Box into Logic Pro 9.  I can not get all the track to play with internal instrument sounds... only the piano track.  how can I get the others to play... drums, bass etc????   Help

    Don't drag the midi into an open Logic project. The tracks won't set up correctly.
    'Open' the midi file with Logic as if it were a Logic project. Then all the tracks will be set up so you can start editing them and applying better saved sounds and instruments, but you'll be at a starting place where you can hear what's going on.

  • HT5312 not getting the option to reset security questions when we sign into security questions

    we are not getting the option to resent security quesions when we are attempting to answer the questions.  We have a back up email saved but why are we not getting this option on the security question page?

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address, which is not the same thing as an alternate/secondary email address. If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
