PaintBrushes. Too many, I'm going crazy!

I make Brushes and I get them from deviantart. I love them and use ALOT of them and have maybe, wild guess, about 3000ish... or some horrible number like that, so when I go thru them its really slow and tedious.
Id there a way I don't know about to separate them at all? so that I don't have them ALL in my face, but I do have access to them all (as in not having to reload them every time?) If there was a way to break them down into groups to make them more manageable, I 'd love to know!
Thank you in advance!
Cortney

Use the Presets Manager and create separate, smaller, more managable sets. Save them out to your Presets»Brushes folder.
You'll still have to load and unload them as needed, but at least they won't
all
be loading,
every
time you run Photoshop.

Use the sim tool that came with your phone or a safety pin and just insert it into the hole at the side of the sim tray and push it in and then pull it out. It is no more difficult than that and then just close it again.

Is there a such thing as too many apps ? I have 29 apps and I would like to know If I get more apps would my ipod start freezing and going slow ? Please and thank you

Can you guys help me ?

That is not too many by a long shot.
To speed up your iPod try:
- Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Logic 8.02 Crashes often. Too Many BUGS!! Unstable.

Hi,
There's too many problems with Logic 8.02. It's not stable and keeps crashing. I save often becos I expect it may crash unexpectedly whilst loading plugins.
The final straw for me was when I couldn't even save my session - as saving it actually caused a crash. ha! (what a joke).
In one hour, I've recorded logic crashing atleast 4 to 5 times. This is why I'm making this post. Apple needs to pick up there game and release software that doesn't crash 4 to 5 times. it's lame but I can't do anything about it but wait for apple to fix it. I do push the computer really hard though. For basic stuff, logic 8's stable, but when you add things like space designer followed by other cpu intensive processes that logic starts to crash unexpectedly.
How do we report bugs to apple? I found a few bugs that needs attention.
for example:
1. Opening a plugin in slot 13 renders it useless cos you can't bring up it's graphics interface when double clicking on it.
2. Can't copy an object's name and paste it to another object cos the function "command C" doesn't work after Click on the object with the logic's "text" pointer.
Run the a Mac Pro 8 x 2.8GHz on Mac OS 10.5.4 with large buffer settings.
Has anyone found other bugs? How do we let apple know?
Thanks.
Vaughn.
Frustrated with Logic 8.02

In one hour, I've recorded logic crashing atleast 4 to 5 times. This is why I'm making this post. Apple needs to pick up there game and release software that doesn't crash 4 to 5 times. it's lame but I can't do anything about it but wait for apple to fix it.
Vaughn man that s.ucks. You must be ready to throw your machine out the window. However, what you seem to be saying is that this is absolutely positively Logic's fault, and that this MUST BE the norm for Logic. This type of thinking isn't going to get you anywhere. Logic is NOT your only problem, or else we all would be having these problems too! If we all were experiencing what you are experiencing, these forums would have exploded and people would be having bonfires with their Logic boxes and buying Protools systems.
It's been a bumpy ride since Logic 8 and Leopard came out, but VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE are reporting VERY GOOD to FANTASTIC performance from Logic 8, using 8.0.2 and 10.5.3 or 10.5.4. This includes a lot of pro's working on very large projects. In fact, I've seen only a couple of posts reporting crashes since 10.5.3 came out. What you are experiencing is NOT normal.
If you want to use Logic, you have to figure out what's going on with YOUR system, because something is wrong with your set-up specifically.
Try trashing Logic's prefs and repairing disk permissions. If you're working on old projects made with previous versions, or old autoload projects, try starting with a fresh slate. There have been issues with old projects and autoloads. Try a big project with only Logic's internal plugs, as there have been some incompatibility issues with 3rd party plugs. Make sure you have all updates for those. Not saying that Logic will only work with it's own stuff, but there may be one plug that's causing all your problems, and you have to figure out what it is.
Try removing rewire plug ins, especially Melodyne.
If all else fails, reinstall Leopard and Logic. A huge pain, but not as much so as making yourself crazy waiting for the solution to come from the outside.
Good Luck!

IChat Error: "attempted to login too many times" problem/solution

*I don't know if its okay to post a new topic/question then answer it, but i was having this issue and finally found a resolution so i wanted to share it with everyone.*
_*Your problem:*_ You Log into ichat then it suddenly begins to act crazy- logging in and out multiple times for no apparent reason... then its gives you the message, yes THE message "You have attempted to login too often in a short period of time. Wait a few minutes before trying to login again".
You silently think to yourself, "w.t.f". lol.
Okay, well different things worked for different people, it just depends on the time, the moment, and whether or not ichat wants to act right...
SOLUTIONS:
1. Change to SSL
Go to iChat Menu --> Preferences --> Accounts --> Server Settings --> then check "Use SSL"
2. Use Port 443
iChat--> Preferences--> Server Settings --> Use port "443"
3. Delete the user from my ichat accounts, by pressing the minus sign. Then waiting a couple minutes just to make sure that I would not get the logged in too many times error and re added the account.
*4. THIS SHOULD MOST Definitely WORK:
1.) Quit iChat if it is already open, and then open Finder.
2.) Browse to your user folder (can be found by clicking on your main hard drive, then going to Users > Your Username.
3.) Open the Library folder and go to the Preferences directory.
4.) You’ll see a long list of files with a .plist extension. The one we’re looking for is com.apple.iChat.AIM.plist. When you find it, delete it by dragging the file to the trash.
5.) Launch iChat and this time you should be able to sign in to your AIM account successfully. iChat will automatically rebuild the preference file you deleted.
_*More INFO:*_
Now some people may wonder "Why is this happening to me" I'll tell you why:
The cause of the issue most likely roots from using your Mac at multiple locations (such as home, school, or work), which could lead to the preference files somehow getting corrupted. It sounds serious, but really shouldn't take more than a minute or so to resolve. Just follow the above steps...
I wish I could take credit for all these, btu I just pulled them from different sites and forums, including forums.macrumers.com and macyourself.com
I hope this helps someone out there Good Luck.
Oh and feel free to add other ways to fix this weird issue.

Too many cards warnings & weak GPS signal

I keep having problems more & more often with my Pre (I'm on the Sprint network, if it matters). At least once a day, I get the 'too many cards' warning, even if I just have one page open. It's especially frustrating when I'm looking at a website (with nothing else opened/running) & want to click on a link but it can't open up because I supposedly have too many cards! The only thing I can do is restart the phone, which takes forever, & then try to get back to whatever website I was on to start over.
The other problem that keeps happening is that the GPS signal is weak when I'm in Sprint Nav & trying to drive somewhere. Having to restart the phone makes navigating somewhere I don't know next to impossible (not to mention unsafe/illegal to operate while driving). And because of problem #1, I have to restart my phone frequently, so I don't understand what's going on. Before the TMC problem, I would just restart my phone when the GPS signal wasn't working & that would solve it, but since I restart it all the time as it is, this is just crazy.
I know that these issues have been addressed before, but I wanted to add another request for Palm to fix these problems (& while you're at it, please add a way to sync tasks & memos with a computer, & add categories to the calendar like in PalmOS!). Has anyone come up with a realistic solution (one that does not involve having to restart ad nauseum)? The only apps I have on my phone are from the app catalog & I don't even have that many of those so memory should not be the issue. Help!

Please search for "iPhone GPS problem - SOLVED".
It's not solved for everyone; I have a problem on a 2G that never got fixed, but the way I read the posts there and my problem there are a number of different causes for this, some of which are software; mine -might' be hardware.
Look over there and try the various proposed solutions and see if any works for more than a small amount of time.
Since you posted back in June you might have found a solution to this, but you're still "unanswered" as of today Sept 25.
I'm noe on Firmware 3.1. Which firmware were you n when you posted, if you can remember? Some people got problems after a firmware update - mine -could- be due to updating from iPhone 2.2.1 to iPhone 3.0.

Too Many Apps Resuming on Startup

Hey so I'm having an issue that's seriously driving me crazy. Here are the symptoms:
-When I restart or shut down/turn on my computer, way too many apps are opening. Like I quit some apps, continue using my computer, eventually restart it, and the apps I quit re-open, even though they were not running when Lion shut down.
NOTE: This happens even if I uncheck "Re-open windows when logging back in"!! It still opens up all my apps again!
-When I do things in apps like sticky notes such as creating new notes/editing existing notes and then quit the application, it opens from the state it started at (all new notes dissapear, edited notes revert).
-I open apps such as minecraft, and it loses all it's saved data and reverts me to a save I made like a week ago, but all future saves are gone.
-In system preferences, if I uncheck "restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps", then exit out of system prefs, when I open it back up it's checked again.
-I also tried turning Number of Recent Items: Applications to "Never" and when I restarted this was back to 10.
My Computer:
Macbook Pro (May 2011)
i5 Processor

OSX Lion (latest version)
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks,
Emory

Router connection problems - DISH satellite receivers or too many devices?

(Sorry about that - I thought I had broken the message up.)
I'm having significant issues with my Linksys router timing out, and need help. I'll try to be as detailed as I can.
I have the following:
- Linksys WRT54G v3 wireless router I purchased off eBay 3-4 years ago. Using 128-bit WEP secirity. Even though the model says WRT54G, my Linksys setup page says I have a WRT54GL. Don't know if that's pertinent but thought I'd include the info)
- HP desktop running Vista Home Premium
- Gateway Solo laptop (circa 3Q 2002) running WinXP SP3, and also have WPC54G - Wireless-G Notebook Adapter
- Gateway M275 Notebook running Windows XP Tablet Edition w/SP3, internal wireless card
- Linksys WRE54G Wireless Range Expander, v3
My broadband internet connects to my cable modem, which then runs via ethernet to my router. I have my desktop connected to my router via (wired) ethernet cable (port 1), and the two laptops connect wirelessly. All three computers on my network run just fine and have had no connection issues until I had two (2) DISH satellite receivers installed this past Friday.
Prior to installation, I knew I would need the two receivers hooked up to my network via ethernet cable. Since one receiver was in the same room as my router, it was easy to run an ethernet cable from my router to the receiver (port 2). I had a challenge with the upstairs receiver, because I didn't have a direct connection, and wasn't sure how to wire it. So, I used my range expander by plugging in the expander into a nearby outlet, then connecting the receiver to the expander via ethernet cable.
I had some issues getting a good signal, and did some troubleshooting but made it work. Now I had five devices connected to my router: two with a wired ethernet cable and three wirelessly.
I started having connection timeouts within about 3-4 hours of satellite [receiver] installation. All of the sudden I couldn't connect to the internet on ANY device; both laptops couldn't connect wirelessly, my desktop couldn't connect, and the receivers were telling me my connection was bad. I checked modem but there were no issues. Still, I unplugged the power cable from the modem for a minute, then reconnected - still no internet. I called my cable company to have them troubleshoot the modem, but they pinged it several times & got positive results - still no internet, so I ruled the modem out.
I tried using the Windows connection troubleshooter to repair the problem, and got a DNS error message (which I don't know how to fix). I decided to unplug my router for 10-15 seconds, then plug back in - that got my internet connection going again. That lasted a couple hours & then failed. I unplugged the router again (is that a soft reset or a power cycle?), then reconnected & was able to connect to the internet. This happened a few more times over the weekend, and finally I decided the expander might be the issue (both DISH and Linksys tech support was not very helpful).
I found a way to wire my second receiver via ethernet cable (port 3), so now I had three wired devices, and two wireless devices. I thought this would fix the problem; it didn't, but at least I learned how to wire CAT5 cable. So I got that going for me... which is nice.
I plugged the ethernet cable directly from my modem to my desktop to test the timeout, but had no issues - the modem just wasn't the problem.
I was getting some IP address conflicts on my Norton Inernet Security, so I uninstalled that from my desktop, disconnected the power from the modem, disconnected the power from the router, shut down all devices, reset the IP addresses on the receivers, deleted the wireless connection from the laptops, shut down the desktop, and just left the whole mess alone for half a day. Then I reinstalled the Norton Internet Security, connected my wired devices, plugged the modem in, plugged the router in, reset my security, connected wirelessly with my laptops.
Within an hour my connection timed out.
Trying to chat with tech support wasn't feasible, as my connection kept going out. A guy at work said I shoudl ping my IP address, and let it repeat until my connection goes out. So I unplugged the router and plugged it back in to get an internet connection, the opened a cmd prompt and typed
ping 192.168.1.1 -t
I left it alone for a few hours, and when I came back, my internet connection was down, but I was still getting active pings - no problems there.
At this point I thought I had done everything except replacing my router (which I'm still tempted to do), but I called my broadband provider to see if there was anything they could do. One of the techs said I had too many devices connected to the internet, but I thought these routers were supposed to handle dozens of devices?
I finally called Linksys Tech Support and had a conversation for 90 minutes. We went through all the steps of unplugging the the modem, router & all connected devices, resetting the router, etc, etc. The only thing different he did was had me change my security from WPA to 64-bit WEP, and added passwords for DNA1 and DNS 2 (same password for each).
That was at 1:30am last night, and when I woke up to check my connection this morning, it was still connected. I have to check it again when I get home, but I'm wondering if I should just be prepared to get another router (and if so, any recommendations), or if there's something I'm still not doing that could resolve my issue - if I still have connection losses.
Also, I'm concerned about the security thing. If changing from WEP 128 or WPA to WEP 64 fixed my problem, I'm not sure I feel completely protected from intrusion - isn't that pretty much the least amount of security I can have (without forgoing it altogether)??
Finally, I've read a few threads suggesting possibly changing to static IP from DHCP; however, my satellite receiver installation documentation specifically advises against this for the receivers.
Anyway, I would very much appreciate some help.

TOO many OPEN CURSORS during loop of INSERT's

Running ODP.NET beta2 (can't move up yet but will do that soon)
I don't think it is related with ODP itself but probably on how .Net works with cursors. We have a for/next loop that executes INSERT INTO xxx VALUES (:a,:b,:c)
statements. Apparently, when monitoring v$sysstat (current open cursors) we see these raising with 1 INSERT = 1 cursor. If subsequently we try to perform another action, we get max cursors exceeded. We allready set open_cursor = 1000, but the number of inserts can be very high. Is there a way to release these cursors (already wrote oDataAdaptor.dispose, oCmd.dispose but this does not help.
Is it normal that each INSERT has it's own cursor ? they all have the same hashvalue in v$open_cursor. They seem to be released after a while, especially when moving to another asp.net page, but it's not clear when that happens and if it is possible to force the release of the (implicit?) cursors faster.
Below is a snippet of the code, I unrolled a couple of function-calls into the code so this is just an example, not sure it will run without errors like this, but the idea should be clear (the code looks rather complex for what it does but the unrolled functions make the code more generic and we have a database-independend datalayer):
Try
' Set the Base Delete statement
lBaseSql = _
"INSERT INTO atable(col1,col2,col3) " & _
"VALUES(:col1,:col2,:col3)"
' Initialize a transaction
lTransaction = oConnection.BeginTransaction()
' Create the parameter collection, containing for each
' row in the list the arguments
For Each lDataRow In aList.Rows
lOracleParamters = New OracleParameterCollection()
lOracleParameter = New OracleParameter("luserid", OracleDbType.Varchar2,
_ CType(aCol1, Object))
lOracleParamters.Add(lOracleParameter)
lOracleParameter = New OracleParameter("part_no", OracleDbType.Varchar2, _
CType(lDataRow.Item("col2"), Object))
lOracleParamters.Add(lOracleParameter)
lOracleParameter = New OracleParameter("revision", OracleDbType.Int32, _
CType(lDataRow.Item("col3"), Object))
lOracleParamters.Add(lOracleParameter)
' Execute the Statement;
' If the execution fails because the row already exists,
' then the insert should be considered as succesfull.
Try
Dim aCommand As New OracleCommand()
Dim retval As Integer
'associate the aConnection with the aCommand
aCommand.Connection = oConnection
'set the aCommand text (stored procedure name or SQL statement)
aCommand.CommandText = lBaseSQL
'set the aCommand type
aCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text
'attach the aCommand parameters if they are provided
If Not (lOracleParameters Is Nothing) Then
Dim lParameter As OracleParameter
For Each lParameter In lOracleParameters
'check for derived output value with no value assigned
If lParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.InputOutput _
And lParameter.Value Is Nothing Then
lParameter.Value = Nothing
End If
aCommand.Parameters.Add(lParameter)
Next lParameter
End If
Return
' finally, execute the aCommand.
retval = cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
' detach the OracleParameters from the aCommand object,
' so they can be used again
cmd.Parameters.Clear()
Catch ex As Exception
Dim lErrorMsg As String
lErrorMsg = ex.ToString
If Not lTransaction Is Nothing Then
lTransaction.Rollback()

I have run into this problem as well. To my mind
Phillip's solution will work but seems completey unnecessary. This is work the provider itself should be managing.
I've done extensive testing with both ODP and OracleClient. Here is one of the scenarios: In a tight loop of 10,000 records, each of which is either going to be inserted or updated via a stored procedure call, the ODP provider throws the "too many cursor errors at around the 800th iteration. With over 300 cursors being open. The exact same code with OracleClient as the provider never throws an error and opens up 40+ cursors during execution.
The applicaation I have updates a Oracle8i database from a DB2 database. There are over 30 tables being updated in near real time. Reusing the command object is not an option and adding all the code Phillip did for each call seems highly unnecessary. I say Oracle needs to fix this problem. As much as I hate to say it the microsoft provider seems superior at this point.

Is it possible to have too many keyframes in one project in Premiere?

Hi all,
I'm using Premiere 6 on a Windows 7 ULT machine.
Is it possible to have too many keyframes in one project in Premiere?
I'm getting app crashes when I try to re-open a certain project in Premiere 6 and it seems that if that file has over 93 keyframes, then it will not re-open. But I can re-open that exact same project file with 93 keyframes in it, no problem.
But if I go any further and create any more keyframes than 93 in a new re-saved version of the exact same file, then that file will not re-open and I get an app crash... you can see screenshots of the two Windows app crash info panels below that I'm getting from three different bad Premiere project files that I've created so far.
I've tested and tested what is going on here and this seems to be what is causing the bad files. I've re-created the scenario and re-created files with over 93 keyframes from the same base project file that will still open... as soon as I get more than 93 keyframes in this file, then that newly saved file will not re-open after I close and try to re-open it.
This is 75 keyframes in one still image clip, 14 keyframes in another still image clip and 2 keyframes each in two other still image clips in a single project file... that is the limit... if I create any more keyframes in the clip that has 75 keyframes, the new file will save and render, but it won't re-open once it has been closed.
The two slightly different app crash info panels show, in the first one below,
"Fault Module Name: StackHash_e98d"
... and the second one shows,
"Fault Module Name: PREMINFO.dll"
... both messages with a little more different info in each one. I get either of the two error info panels when trying to re-open all three bad files that I've created with over 93 keyframes in them. That is, two of the files alternate between giveing "StackHash_e98d" and "PREMINFO.dll" when trying to open them and one of them always shows the "Fault Module Name: PREMINFO.dll" error.
So even the error messages are inconsistent with two of the bad files.
I've searched the internet for this error in association with Premiere and I've also searched on this forum and found nothing. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks,
digi

Bill,
Even though I figured out a work around, I was still interested to know if these file opening crashes are related to Virtual Memory.
So on the topic of Virtual Memory... a few months ago I was troubleshooting a different problem in Premeire and I found this information...
"To improve performance in Premiere Pro, adjust the size of the paging file to a maximum of twice the amount of installed RAM."
Previous to that time three months ago or so, I had my Virtual Memory settings at the default automatic setting, but I tried setting my VM to twice the amount of installed RAM, and I've had it set that way ever since, just to make sure I'm optimizing the VM performance for Premiere and other apps.
But that isn't making any difference in this case. Today I also found information in a search that says to troubleshoot StackHash crashes, one should turn off "DEP" in the system settings for the application with the crash problem... according to the paragraph below, from the second post down by Chris on this tdistler.com page... http://tdistler.com/2009/04/10/stackhash-and-application-crashes-on-windows
Even though this was written in 2009 with Windows Vista in mind, many things for Vista work in Windows 7... it says,
"Here’s how 99 percent of Vista users can fix a StackHash failure. I’ll walk you through it step by step:
Method A:
1. Open your Start menu and click Control Panel
2. Browse to “System Maintenance” then “System”
3. In the left panel, select “Advanced System Settings” from the available links
4. You should now see the System Properties Window, which will have three sections. The top section is labeled “Performance” and has a “Settings” button. Click this button.
5. Select the “Data Execution Prevention” tab.
6. Select the option which reads “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select”
7. Use the “Browse” button to locate the executable file for the application you were trying to start when you received the StackHash error, and click Open to add it to your exceptions list.
8. Click Apply or OK to commit your changes."
But I tried this and none of the three problem files that I encountered would open... I still got the StackHash_e98d or PREMINFO.dll crash errors.
So anyway, I'm a ways past that in my project now, just continuing with more keyframes over the number of 78 in separate but identical still image clips... that allows me to successfully work with this project with as many keyframes as I need.
Thanks again,
digi

Create procedure is generating too many archive logs

Hi
The following procedure was run on one of our databases and it hung since there were too many archive logs being generated.
What would be the answer? The db must remain in archivelog mode.

The amount of redo generated is a direct function of how much data is changing. If you insert 'x' number of rows, you are going to generate 'y' mbytes of redo. If your procedure is destined to insert 1000 rows, then it is destined to create a certain amount of redo. Period.
I would question the <i>performance</i> of the procedure shown ... using a cursor loop with a commit after every row is going to be a slug on performance but that doesn't change the fact 'x' inserts will always generate 'y' redo.

I'm trying to set up an iPad for work and the apple id I was trying to use came back expired. I set a new password and then it said it was invalid. Now I'm locked out for too many tries answering security questions that I don't remember setting up. Help!

I seem to be stuck in apple ID ****. First the password was expired only two minutes after I finished setting up the account and then the new password was invalid. I don't know what to try next but this is making me crazy. And I'm locked out for eight hours for too many attempts at answering questions that I never set up in the first place. I don't know what gives but something is way off. I need to set up this iPad for work but I can't get past the login.

How do I reset the number of activations on Visio 2003 after getting a "too many activations" message?

I just installed Visio 2003 on a PC, and got the "we can't activate this app via the internet because you've installed it too many times" message. I went back to phone activation, but, of course, that's no longer available for this product.
How do I get the number of activations reset? Apparently you used to be able to do this by calling Microsoft, but what's the number to call? Or is there another way to do it?
I'm probably going to need to do it for my copy of Office 2003 also.

Hi,
Microsoft has ended support for Office 2003 on April 8, 2014. This change will affect your software updates and security options.
Please contact your local customer service. Explain to the service (Human being) that you can’t activate Visio 2003 and the error message is “we can't
activate this app via the internet because you've installed it too many times”.
You can find
your local custom support number on the link below.http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers/en-us
Hope it can be helpful.

Too many partitions in my W530?

This may look like a silly question and I fully admit that it might be it... But I have been unable to find a way to get rid of some apparently unuseful partitions in my SSD. I am attaching two images (see below) for clarity.
In image 1, I can see only two partitions, C: and Q: and there are also listed three other "Devices with Removable Storage": the DVD RW drive (D: ), the Removable Disk (F: ) and the Removable Disk (G: ). I tried to get rid of these last two (F: and G: ) but could not figure out how to achieve it. Not that their presence is a problem, just for cleaning purposes, as I do not see any need for them to be listed there. I don't even fathom what they may actually represent.
In image 2, taken from the Acronis True Image backup app, besides the same C: and Q: partitions, I also see a System_drv and an unamed partition that are not listed in the Windows-7 figure. The Unamed Partition, by the way, is always empty but I was discouraged in the past to just get rid of it. I wonder if I should, having received conflicting advice on whether or not to do it.
My question is: How can I eliminate the Removable Disks F: and G: as shown in the Windows figure and would it be a good idea to get rid of the Unamed partition as shown in the Acronis figure.
All help will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

If you were to install Win7 from scratch on a brand new empty drive (spinner or SSD, doesn't matter) and not change anything from the standard default installation options, you'd get TWO partitions:
(1) un-lettered "system reserved" 100MB, where Boot Manager (and boot menu, presented if you were to install a second or subsequent bootable OS after installing Win7 as the first bootable OS) is placed. This is also marked as the ACTIVE partition, so that the BIOS goes here to start the actual boot process.
(2) C-partition for the rest of the drive. This is where Windows itself gets installed, as a "system" drive.
In the case of Lenovo-provided machines, they have installed additional recovery tools, which are placed into that small un-lettered partition normally referred to as "system reserved" and only 100MB. Lenovo has enlarged the partition from the standard 100MB to about 1.5GB, but it's functionally identical in purpose. Also, it's been labeled "SYSTEM_DRV", rather than "System Reserved", but this is of no relevance.
And Lenovo's also added that additional Q-partition, which is where the "data" for system recovery is placed, in the event you needed to or wanted to restore your machine to initial factory state, exactly as it looked when it first came out of the box.
So... what's critical here is that standard Windows7 requires the TWO partitions: (1) ACTIVE partition, where Boot Manager and boot menu lives and where the BIOS goes to start the boot process on what is configured as the first hard drive in the boot sequence, and (2) C-partition because that is specified as the one-and-only bootable OS partition according to the default one-OS boot menu built by the Win7 installer and subsequently examined by Boot Manager at boot time. Since by default there is only one bootable OS you will not be presented with the boot menu, but instead Boot Manager will simply use that one-and-only OS and start it. If you had two or more bootable OS's, you'd get a boot list presented onscreen by Boot Manager, and you'd need to select which one to boot from within say 10 seconds else the default OS would automatically be booted.
Any "system image" backup requires BOTH of the above partitions to be checked, since [at least theoretically] BOTH of them need to be backed up and/or restored in tandem should you need to recover from a disaster. By backing and restoring BOTH, you guarantee a 100% working operating environment should you need to recover from a disaster.
Now the Q partition can be deleted (and its space re-allocated to either expand C, or perhaps in conjunction with shrinking the generally much too large C can be used to allocate one or more additional "data" partitions D, E, etc.) if you will NEVER need to or want to recover back to Lenovo's "factory-provided" out-of-the-box system setup. This could be the case if you use an alternative method for disaster recovery, such as using Macrium Reflect to take regular periodic (say once a week) "system image" backups, say to an external USB 3.0 drive.
So you could use Macrium Reflect to take an initial "system image" backup, which would effectively be your equivalent of the Lenovo-provided Q partition content, although you wouldn't need Q if you had to restore the Macrium "system image" backup. And then you'd just establish a weekly regime of further "system image" backups using Macrium, as your ongoing regular protection from a loss of Windows integrity which required some kind of restore to a prior working system. In this case it would be no older than last week's backup.
If you needed more current protection, just take more frequent "system image" backups (if you only have a C partition), or add a second backup tool like NovaBACKUP to take monthly/daily "data" backups (also to the external USB 3.0 drive).
==> You don't have "too many partitions". But the above description explains why you have what you have, and confirms that you can blow away Q if you have an alternative and superior backup/recovery method (such as Macrium Reflect) in case of a disaster.

PaintBrushes. Too many, I'm going crazy!
