Numerous Problems with Laptop T530i

I am having lots of problems with my two month old laptop T530i thinkpad . First of all the download for any thing is very slow. I did a speed test and my download only runs .24 to .35 and up load is around .96-.98. For example i tried to download a background for a destop from microsoft site. It is only suppose to take a few seconds to download.However, it took 27 minutes. This should not be. NOw a friend brought his 6 year old or more Lenovo over T60 pro cessor 1.8 1g of ram
The speed test on his laptop was from 10.5 to 15. Only took a few seconds to download desktop background. He connected his through my router. WHY IS THIS?
My nephew who is a tech at an insurance company upgraded the wifi card. drivers. Still no download speed
Video playing music from you tube stops and starts
sometimes internet explorer connection webpage can't be displayed have to hit refresh
takes awhile to load up pictures to show up on facebook etc
also images are blurry at beginning on ancestry.com site and familysearch.org. then clear up seems to take longer than my 8 year old tower pc.
HELP! Any suggestions. Who do I contact about this problem? Not a happy camper

Has it always been like this since you got it? What antivirus are you running (shouldn't mess with it but you never know) Do you have any backround programs running that could be slowing down your bandwith (like bit torrent or other file sharing programs)
It's possible you have a virus or spyware threat - I would download malwarebytes from malwarebytes.org and run a full scan and see if it finds anything.
Double check the WIFI / LAN drivers (depending on the connection you are using) and make sure you download the most recent version (From the lenovo.com website)
After the virus scan and double checking the drivers, I would reboot in safe mode with networking and re run the test or try to download the same file again, It is works in safe mode fine then you have a program or service running upon startup that is dragging you down. You can download ccleaner from ccleaner.com and once installed launch the program and goto tools, startup - it will show you everything that is loading on startup and will give you the option to disable everything loading, it's trial and error but may get you on your way to figuring out what may be causing it.
Hope this helps!

Numerous Problems with New TV@nywhere Master

Greetings all. A few days ago, I purchased a TV@nywhere Master card. I own two MSI mainboards and an MSI video card that I think are great, but so far this product has been nothing but junk. I am having numerous problems with it that I have not been able to resolve:
1. The remote control just plain doesn't work.
2. I am unable to adjust the TV volume within the MSIPVR tuner software. Turning it up and down or muting it does nothing. However, whenever I exit the program, it mutes the line-in jack on my sound card and doesn't unmute it when I run the program again! I have to run the Creative Surround Mixer and unmute the jack before I get any TV audio.
3. Originally when I booted up, the radio tuner kicked in with a fuzzy feed, even though the software was not running. I had to run the software and exit it to make this stop. I believe this has resolved itself.
4. The MSIPVR software seems very unstable.
I have tried updating all the software from the official MSI drivers page and I also tried the unofficial releases of both the drivers and the MSIPVR 3.0 beta from this forum. The 3.0 beta build seems even more unstable (though it is a beta so this is understandable), but none of my other problems have been resolved either. I've perused the forums looking for ideas, but haven't found anything that's worked. I've also tried all these steps on two different systems that I have with the same results.
I'm really shocked that MSI would release such a low-quality product as most of their other things are quite well made. I am looking to see if anyone has suggestions I can try to resolve this. I am interested in keeping this card if these can be fixed, but if not, I'll be returning this unit and picking up something from ATI instead. There's absolutely no reason for a card to be runnign this poorly and be in a shipping state.
Below are my system specifications should they be of any help:
AthlonXP 2800+ FSB333
MSI K7N2 Delta-L nForce 2
1024MB PQI PC3700 LL
Sound Blaster Audigy
ATI RADEON 9600XT
Promise FastTrak TX2000
2x40GB Western Digital 8MB (In RAID 0 Stripe)
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
All Latest Drivers/Updates for Windows and All Hardware

One more note (great stuff Stu:))... with regards to the remote... try to give it a slight extra push into the socket :D.
As stupid as it sounds, it happens :p... at least with me it did. I kept on trying to get the remote to work in the beginning, only to find out in the end that I hadn't played it ALL the way into the input socket. After the click, it worked.
I hope you can get the sound stuff working though. That's definitely a pain :(. I'm personally having issues with the original card and new software now... but yeah, I shall wait on your feedback first:).
OK, I've finally had some time to try out the various other suggestions that have been made and unfortunately, have met with no success. I tried changing my audio to CD In on my Audigy which still has the same sound problems. I also checked out the connection with the remote and it is in all the way. Still no go on that one. My power supply ratings are:
+5V: 35A Maximum/0A Minimum
+12V: 24A Maximum/0.8A Minimum
+3.3V: 28A Maximum/0A Minimum
-5V: 0.5A Maximum/0A Minimum
-12V: 1.0A Maximum/0A Minimum
+5V SB: 2.0A Maximum/0A Minimum
At this point, I'm pretty much at my wits end. If anyone has other ideas, I can entertain them, but tomorrow if I don't have this up, I'll be taking it back. This card is demonstrating itself as just poorly designed and built. Thanks for your help all!

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before.

Had problem with laptop so reinstalled it now itunes will not sync on both laptops, it did before to my iphone5 says cannot sync to 2 libraries until I reinstalled it did.

iDevices can only be synched with one library. However, you can sync successfully with more than one computer if each has a copy of the same logical library - the identifier that iTunes uses to determine which library is synced an iDevice is recorded within the iTunes database (the iTunes Library.itl file). The best approach is to replicate your complete library (database, media, artwork, associated files) from one PC to the other. When you reinstalled iTunes on your laptop it will, by default, have created a new library with a distinct id from that of your other machine. Even if you copied all your media from one to the other, iTunes will still see the libraries as distinct with respect to syncing iDevices.
If you have configured iTunes to organize your media and to copy files to the iTunes Media folder, then the complete library will be contained within (by default) C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes, with a structure of subfolders and key files like this:
If this is the case, you can (with iTunes not running on either machine):
Copy this iTunes folder from laptop 2 to laptop 1 (the one that's had iTunes reinstalled) - depending on the size of your library you can do this over a network, using a thumb drive, or an external (USB) hard driveNote this this assumes no media on laptop 1 that's not also on laptop 2 - if this isn't the case, there's a slightly different process to follow to ensure that this media is preserved and can be added to the "common" library
Once the copy is complete, make sure that iTunes is using the correct library database by holding down SHIFT as you start iTunes. When you see this prompt:
select Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes folder you just copied, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.
For future reference, you can use turingtest2's user tip on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suitable method to backup your library to an external drive - you can then, with care, use this to keep the copies of your common library in sync across your laptops.

Problems with laptop when charging!

Hello,
I noticed that this might be a common problem with HP model. I have been trying to make my laptop (Pavilion dv7, bought less then a year ago) to work as it used before for a week now and still can't manage.
It seems that the Laptop is not charged, if switched on, and battery is empty (less or equal to 9% of charge). However when I turn it off, after some time (IMPORTANT: not immediately after), it starts charging.
However I noticed that Battery does get charged when it is still 75% charged. This happens even when doing heavy duty work (Power Plan set to High Performance, 1 Virtual Machine running, 20 YouTube videos, and Playing DVD).
I tired all tricks in the book (un-install battery driver and re-install it [done automatically from Windows7], Remove battery when switched off, turn it on with only adapter, switch it off again, attach battery and plug in adapter, etc). However although these seem to work once ot twice, the problem always re-appears!
Personally I still can't figure if this is a software or hardware problem! I do not thing the battery has any problems since after it is charged, without any the adapter it gives me full 2 hours of heavy duty work (Virtual Machines, Streaming Videos, etc). Also the battery check tells me that the battery health is “Good”, which means it should be charging correctly.
Does anyone know what the problem might be?
Regards,
Simon J.

Hi,
I did as you suggested. I allowed the battery to drain (10% charged) and connected the adapter. As usual it did not want to charge. At this stage (that is what adapter connector but battery not charging) I did a battery health test using HP Support Assistance installed on Windows7 by default. This told me that battery should be replaced and gave me a warranty id.
After this I downloaded the system BIOS by downloading it from the HP Support & Drivers site (http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support_task.html). After this (with the adapter connected) I installed the new BIOS driver. This when ready restarted the computer. I turned the computer on again to confirm that the correct version of the BIOS was installed. Note that at this stage the battery still did not start to charge and therefore I turned the computer off and followed the steps given above to hard reset the battery. When I inserted the battery and connected the adapter the battery started to charge immediately. After turning on the computer I did a battery health test and this time the test said that battery health was good.
I then waited until battery was fully charged and allowed it to drain up to 10%. Again when I connected the adapter the battery did not charge and in Windows 7 it tells me “plugged in, not charging”. If I do a battery test at this point (adapter connector but battery not charging) I get the message that battery has to be replaced and I am given the warranty id.
Is there anything else I can try!?

PROBLEM WITH Laptop Dropping CONNECTION to my Airport Extreme

PROBLEM WITH KEEPING CONNECTION To WiFi NETWORK I have a MacBook Pro, MacBookPro4,1, Processor Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.6 GHz I loose connection with my Airport extreme it will just drop the connection. Up in the menu bar where it show thesignal strength... when it drops the connection it shows "NO NETWORK SELECTED". The only way for me to reconnect thru wifi is to SHUT DOWN my Laptop and start it back up. Then it will hold for just a little longer and drop it again. Very AGGRIVATING. Is there a possibility that my Airport Card in my Laptop is going bad or what? Gerrrrrrrrrrr Seems to do it more when I am on Facebook but that just may be because Im on FB a lot.. LOL And I already did the proceedure with going into the Utilities and accessing the Keychain and setting up Network again but it does not correct the problem. HELP!!

You appear to have a solid radio connection to the Base Station.
1) Remove unwanted networks from the list of "known" networks under
System preferences > WiFi/Airport > (Advanced) > | Airport/WiFi pane ...
2) System preferences > WiFi/Airport ...
... check [√] Ask to join new networks
"Known networks will be joined automatically.
If no known networks are available, you will
be asked before joining a new network."

Calendar syncing problems with laptop and iphone

Calendar entries on my iphone don't find their way to my ical on my laptop. When i connect and sync all ical entries are double entered on my phone. Please can anyone help.
Driving me mad as i just can't rely on it!

I think this might be the same problem I'm having, except that I'm having the same problem with both the calendar and the address book. I know things are syncing correctly between my work laptop, my home laptop, my home desktop, and MobileMe. My problem is with my phone. Everything synced fine until I upgraded to version 3. Then the phone would not update at all. I've tried to turn on the Contacts and Calendars in the Settings, but the "switches" won't stay ON. The Mail switch stays on with no problem. I finally forced the phone to sync through iTunes, but then I had double entries in the calendar and double contacts (on the phone only). So .. how to I get it to sync automatically, and how do I get rid of the double entries and contacts? Should I completely delete my account on my phone, and start over? I don't want to mess something up.

Numerous problems with X1 platform and error message RDK-03032

Daily I have problem with the X1 system where the TV signal goes out and I get a message that says " Call 1-800-XFINITY and reference RDK-03032." This problem is randum and can occur at any time of day, resulting in outages for many hours, or usually the remainder of the day. If I call Comcast customer service, usually the wait is usually about 20 minutes before someone comes on and goes through another process of sending signals to my box, at which time they say they need to send a technician out. I then get a call from the technician who says he doesn't need to come out because the problem is with XFINITY's network, and that they are working on it. If I call back into customer service, I need to first make sure I have about an hour for the process because the customer support person has to go through the same diagnostic test of sending signals to confirm the system is down, before they will refer the problem back to a technician in the field. Usually during this diagnostic process, the technician puts me on hold for another 30 minutes, at which time the phone is hung up, at which time I have to start the process all over again. RDK-03032 problem continues to occur with no resolution and no one seems to be able to tell me what the problem is, or how to fix it, and no one in customer support knows how to fix this problem. I have no idea how to get this problem resolved. Does anyone have any idea?

awsomely sad / they put this item on the market and i would recomemmend you contact the fcc for a form to fill out a complaint asap as i will be doing as soon as i receive the letter in the mail , they say it is a latency problem . late is late but no show at all for hours on end is the new future. what is that suppossed to keep us victoms happy untill they can figure out what to do to cover theyre mistakes , now they are trying to replace the incoming signal which has left me with no services 10 times in 14 days , i watched a tech install a new cable from pole to house with 2 supervisors standing rigth there , when the 12th visit by a tech i explained my story and the tech said let me look out side 1 hour later after my services were cut off again the tech came to my door and told me the cable from my house to the pole was terrible and rotten and needed to be replaced again , i knew he was lying but it was after 7 pm and i had enough , i saw them a week or so before , as did the 2 supervisors , cut a brand new peice of the roll in his truck replace it with new ends , a totally new peice , so i guess the cable they are using only has a 2 week life expectancy or the tech was lying , which i beleive the tech wanted to get paid for the call , so he probably did but once again my xi service is not right still , when they get to far in they start lying because they are probably getting screwed for have to service this x1 numerous times , when i sit here and listen to the supervisors and techs tell me that the system is the problem and they are trying every 3 months to figure what the last program upgrade has screwed up for them and laugh jokingly it doesent give you to much faith in theyre ability to resolve any issues with this system face it we have no recoarse . over 200 hrs on the phone . i must have talked to every employee in the company even tom karinshank yhe ceo was contacted and after his rep sat there and picked appart evry thing i said got rude and now wont return my calls or emails they pass it to the next person , ????????????????????????????????????

BEFW11S4 Problems with Laptop and Xbox 360

For the past few weeks my Linksys BEFW11S4 has been malfunctioning. When I try to connect to the wireless network from my laptop, it says "Not Connected" but I can still access the internet for a few minutes before it really disconnects. Unplugging the router and plugging it back in lets me connect again, but still it gives the "Not Connected" message and boots me off within a few minutes. It has also been causing problems with my Xbox 360. It is connected with an ethernet cable to the router, but every time I turn the Xbox on it says that it is not connected. After I unplug the router and plug it back in, the problem is fixed, and I can go online on my Xbox for as long as I want. Anyone know how to fix this?

It seems that router is not configured properly ..... checkthe firmware version on the status page of router ..... .
Upgrade the firmware if required .....

Numerous problems with the Adobe AIR runtime for Android

I created a app on the platform Adobe AIR for Android, which requires for AIR. The app is very popular in the Android Market, but many users complain of problems with the installation of Adobe Air runtime.
For example these phones users: LGE LG-P698, LG Pecan, HTC Wildfire. But judging by the fact that users have access to the installation of Air, their phones are compatible with it.
Tell me how do I solve the problem?
In addition, I have a few questions:
1. Decides whether the problem of export application with embedded AIR runtime?
2. I build my apps with the help of ADT. How in this case to make embeding AIR runtime?
3. Is it possible to prompt the user to download and install older versions of AIR? Where to find its?
I hope to help, because the problem is global.

Hi Astraport,
I think you should embed the air runtime in your application,

Numerous Problems With My Phone. Am I the only one?

I got the Droid Charge in June 2012 so it's been about 7 months that I've owned this phone. The phone was fine at first but in the past few months, I've experienced the following:
Phone shuts off at random times (when the battery is not dead)
Phone randomly restarts itself
Phone dies but when I plug it into the charger it says 100% and doesn't actually charge
Phone says it's charging but either charges really slow or maintains the percentage it had when I first plugged it in
More recently, (as in today and the past 2 weeks) I've had these problems:
Phone will charge when it feels like it
Phone will be on charger for hours but will only increase battery life by a few percent
Phone will allow me to use data but I can't make/receive calls or respond to texts (4G doesn't disappear but there's a solid grey triangle at the top)
I still am unable to use anything but data, the only difference now is that my phone says no service (which is impossible)
There are a few phones on my line that are working properly with NO issues so I know that this has to be phone related.
I really need my phone to work again!

Been having problems with mine for a while also. I found changing the USB cable with my changer helped with the recharging issue. But i am fed up with this phone acting like this. Quick browse around others are having issues too.
I am going to wipe it clean and see how things go. My fear, the issue is going to be the OS. My wife's phone is also having issue.

Numerous problems with my 1 week old Zen MicroPh

Just bought a ZMP direct from the Creative website and its already malfunctioning.
Wont charge properly and is getting extremely hot when charging (is it normal for it to get hot when charging?).</LI>
Headphone jack gone already, right earphone crackling and static.</LI>
When docked in the PC it freezes when i un-dock it.</LI>
Have managed to charge it up until it registered full, next time i went to it, battery was empty.</LI>
Have e-mailed Creative 2 days ago and had no response. Is it normal that it takes them a while to answer? Somebody please let me know.

Hi Catherina,
Firstly, many thanks for your speedy reply.
I am in England. I did get an automated response but it said I should most probably here within a day. If it takes a little longer, that's fine, i just wanted to see on average how long people get a response. As you can imagine, im very dissapointed that im having problems with my unit so early after recieving it, especially after raving about it for the first couple of days when it was working ok.
I shall wait for the support teams e-mail over the next couple of days and hope it will be resolved with me recieving a brand new unit to componsate me for my troubles. I really don't expect to have the same one repaired when i've had so many immediate problems with it.
Thank you for your assitance.

Problem with laptop and docking station

Hello.
We have two laptops with two docking station. Both laptops w/ docking have the same problem:
When the computer is turned off, and its still connected to the docking station, the fan in the computer start to run really fast. The fan goes on for a good while. This is making alot of noise, which can be annoying for the person using the office. When the computer is on, the fan runs at normal speed. If you disconnect the computer from the docking station, the fan stops immediately. Any ideas?
1. Product Name and Number
HP ProBook 6460b
Docking Station VB043AA
2. Operating System installed
Windows XP 32-bit
3. Error message
No error message.
4. Any changes made to your system before the issue occurred
No recent changes.
Thanks in advance.

It is possible the notebook is not completing the shutdown in full when docked.
Make sure the BIOS is the most recent version.
Here is the most recent one to try should you need it.
Other than that, I am afraid I do not have much else for this. I did some research, but I didn't really find anything that was exactly like this. I found scenarios where the fan would run at full speed when docked, but this happened whether the notebook was booted or not. You can try your luck in the business support forums to see if they may have something that is a little more helpful.

Having numerous problems with my D530 SFF, freezing and black monitor (windows xp operating system)

First off I want to start off by saying that I am a complete noob when it comes to computer repair. But since it wouldn't kill me if I lost the files on my computer and I plan on getting a laptop soon, I am willing to fiddle around and try to fix the issue with my desktop on my own. First off the fan on my cpu had begun to get progressively louder over the years as my hard drive got closer to capacity. And it seemed like the computer may have been getting hotter than optimal temperatures. At the present time I think the harddrive is completely full and may ultimately be what is causing my issues. Periodicly I started getting messages that my virtual memory was too low and that the system would make more room. At this time I would do a little housekeeping and delete some files in order to make more room. For a year and a half this computer had not been connected to the internet than last week I hooked it up and windows installed a bunch of auto updates (seemed to run quieter and cooler). I also deleted bitdefender and malwarebytes and installed Avira. Initially everything was working fine for a couple days (some lag at times but it had been lagging for a while) and than one day I left the system on and did some things around the house. When I came back my computer had powered down on its own. When I tried to reboot led's would turn on along with the fans and cpu but my monitor would not receive a signal. I turned the coputer off checked the cords, got rid of some dust within the case and than tried to reboot and got the same thing. After that I pulled the ram and cleaned the slots along with the riser board, and the cd drive and than tried to reboot after installation. If I remember correctly this time the monitor received the signal but the system froze at the hp start menu. After I shut it down and rebooted the monitor failed to receive the signal. At this point I decided to let the darn thing sit overnight and try again in the morning. I swopped out the ram and riser board with the ones in my father's d530 and got the same results. After about 6 hours or so I booted the computer up today and was able to start windows but when I tried to access the control panel the system froze. Initially I thought my graphics card had gone out, and than I read somewhere else that others had similar problems when their cpu went out but the fact that windows started today has me stumped. It seems like I can get further along in the startup process the longer I let my desktop sit powered off. Could it be an overheating issue?
This question was solved.

You're very welcome.
If you are good at soldering, you should be able to to it. That website gives some tips as do other places, as you saw. Capacitors are cheap. Just make sure you get the right values.
Please post back if you go through with the repairs and let us know how it turned out.
