Please add indicator LED light for the HDD and sleep back, add some system hotkey
After Lenovo have announced the new T440 T540，we were shocked by the graphic card: GT720m (game card) and no indicator LED for HDD. At last we need a NVS graphic card to do some grophic related work or mobile business.
So we waited for the new w540, after coming to public we were shocked again there is :
- no indicator LED for HDD, sleep, wift and bluetooth,
- no hotkey to disable touchpad
- no hotkey to sleep
- no turn on/off screen hotkey
- no hot plug for cdrom or second HDD
these are miserable and somehow funny, maybe no indicator for apple is ok as most new macbooks are all SSD
rather than mechanical hard disk.
maybe no led for sleep for apple is ok as Mac OS goes to sleep very quick and they use SSD. But for thinkpads we close the lid and wait for the moon LED light to take thinkpad freely, also for the sake of hard disk rotation. Now we need to look at the power button which is impossible when the lid is closed.
no hotkey for sleep ? some friends said " Fn+4 acts as a suspend shortcut (I think it was added in BIOS 2.05)" , we hope it is ok.
no notkey to off display? no hotkey to disable touchpad? It is really unconvenient
So is there update for these minus? Hotkey may update by the BIOS and driver. Will lenovo do so? After testing well, it will be back really easy to use.
And is there any Modle B for w540 to add LED back ? Missing indicator LED for HDD is nightmare for troubleshooting. Miss sleep indicator in front of Thinkpad(A-Side) is miserable for bringing sleeping w540.
Miss wifi and bluetooth is also unconvenient..... And it is not a very hard work.
Also it is said there is no driver update for fingerprinter reader from AuthenTec, because AuthenTec is bought by Apple?
For thoso who do is really smart but also keep the good previous features,
PLEASE

Today on shutting down the W540, I get the Windows blue shut down screen with the comment:
"Operations are in progress, pleases wait. The machine will be turned off automatically after the operations are complete."
OK, so I waited 20+ minutes.... Mouse logo spinning, but no idea what i/o's are going on. Fast disk access? Slow disk access, intermittent disk access? Or is it locked? CtrlAltDel has no action. Mouse cursor does move.
So did a cold boot/restart (still not knowing what was happening in the Black Box). Must have locked up restarting, as I waited 10+ minutes with NO IDEA what was going on, a REAL "black box".
Cold booted again, and tried a Safe Mode. Worked!, and did a check disk - said not errors????. All OK now.... but WHERE IS THE HD LIGHT!!!!!!!
Now I just cheked, the Dell, ASUS, TOSHIBA, SONY workstations have them..... We need to review this carefully at the R&D level, AND NOT LISTEN TO MARKETING! T'was, my fault for deciding on the W540, I never checked that specification, and just ASSumed all the indicators lights would be there! Now I'm stuck with a $2,500 toy - never feeling secure in the work being done. I need rwo more workstartion, but it will be a nuissance to be on two types of workstations.
When I run my Stat package, it takes sometime 1+hr of analysis, I have no idea if the program is waiting, paused, or locked.... no HD activity light, no heartbeat no idea if I need to reboot, or wait. Maybe it's an act ot terrorism to waste US worker's time ???? <g>

Screen is black, no fan is running, LED lights for volume is on/off
On a random day, I opened up laptop to use and hit the power button, everything turned on but the screen slowly went white. turned back off & then back on & still did same thing. A couple months later, tried to use it again, LED lights for volume, network, and light on front of laptop are lit, but everything else is not; screen is black, no fan running. This is only when I plug an HDMI cable from one laptop to another. Laptop was plugged into charger, when it is unplugged of hdmi, it is completely useless. Is there some way I can get the files back that i had on the laptop? my brother said a while back that it is completely shot. Id really appreciate some help & if anyone knows the fees I would have to get it fixed by HP or best buy, that'd be great! ( if it is even worth fixing, let me know.)
If you want us to help, then tell us what kind of laptop we are discussing. What are you trying to do by running an hdmi cable from one laptop to another? It will do nothing so don't do it. You can check to see whether it is the motherboard or the screen by connecting an external monitor and see if it gets a picture on the external screen. You can get your data off by removing the hard drive and using an adapter to connect it to another computer.

the back button no longer works. I have disabled all add-ons,rebooted & reset the defaults for the browser and nothing has changed. This happens on all webpages.How do I get the back button to light up again?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
*Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Another possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

I am controlling a stepper motor that is coupled with a valve with four outlets (using an Arduino). I've got a general understanding of how to control the motor, but I want LED lights on the front panel to light up that indicate which outlet the valve is currently at after the steps are taken. The method I'm thinking about involves a lot of repetitive code. I'm not that experienced with LabVIEW, I'm assuming I need some sort of loop structure but I don't know how to set it up in order to control the sequence of the LEDs. I've attached my current block diagram for a visual aid if needed.
Attachments:
Capture.JPG 33 KBI was thinking about using the Stepper To Go and Stepper Write functions four separate times, using the same constants for the steps each time since the distance between each outlet is equivalent. The only difference would be what's connected to the "steps remaining" node, which would be the function that activates one of the four LEDs (if that makes sense). I was thinking that doing it this way would be a little counterintuitive since the only thing that needs to be changed is the LED indicator.

Hi mafiose15,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
How to restore iPod
Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
Click Restore.
If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
You can find the instructions in this article:

Please begin to work more for the future dear Canon.
I love Canon and I am a Canon guy for long time, but dear Canon, you lose so much time brush up models that in short time would be overwhelmed (EOS models), please take a look at the New Pentax 645D Medium Format, Hasselblad and Phase One which is the future photography format. Please begin to work more for the future dear Canon. Sincerely George.
Hmmm.. 20Mpix DSLR gives pin sharp A1/A0 prints. How much more do people want?
How much more can people use!
I'll take great AF, great light sensitivity, Auto-ISO with exposure compensation in Manual, all sorts of usability features, but frankly the thing holding back my photos isn't the resolution... and I only have 8Mpixels.
Perhaps Canon are working on a layered colour sensor that wouldn't need a bayer matrix, so buying 2 stops of sensitivity.. Now that I would buy!
Perhaps they'll bring back the eye-controlled AF/AE point selection.. oh yes pleeeese! -
How to add a document type for the residence status GB in infotype 48
Hi Team,
How to add a document type for the residence status GB in infotype 48.
Please answer this at the earliest.PFA screnshot.
Thanks
chrisI believe there is a PDF doc which comes with the component (it should be at your harddrive when you install it), which describes everything you will need.
In a nutshell, there are two types of relationship: sibling - sibling, parent - child (there are some more nuances, but it follows the same logic).
A relationship is created between two existing items (not sure, if you can also create a relationship for a new checked in item, but it would be just a usability). You select the type of relationship and the item - I believe depending on the relationship you may start from either item. The dialog to start is INFO (display metadata) or UPDATE (update metadata).
When a relationship is created you may watch it also from either end (again INFO is the starting point).
It is quite self-explanatory, so if you have the component installed you may just play around with it for a while and that is it. -
the only thing I get is the Apple symbol on my TV screen and the led light on the Apple TV blinks.
Apple TVWelcome to the Apple community.
If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore. -
my macbook wont turn on. its a total black out even the led light on the charger has no light. the battery indicator has no light its a total blackout. if you pressed the power button theres no light at the bottom. nothing at all even the spin you cant hear anything. blackout as in
Try resetting the System Mangement Controller -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964.
If that has no effect, then your only recourse is to take your machine to your local Apple Store/AASP and have them run diagnostics on the machine.
Good luck,

My sister in law has seen an Air at work and asked me, whether it is a good device for her.
Now, her Air has not an lightend keyboard. Shame in the familiy… Why is this change not to see on the Apple Store pages?
Any suggestions?
~k.Thank you, I know. Two years ago a naive PC-user meant that an light like this from above the keyboard would be the same or likely a backgroundlighend keyboard. It is not. The differences are great.
Since them the LED lights have developed further and better, though - it is just a weak surrogate.

Unless you are using Spry menus as a learning experience, you should move forward to a menus system that will display properly on the millions of portable devices that won't work with Spry which was deprecated 2 years ago.
Many are using JQuery menus or pure HTML/CSS menus.
If you wish to continue your Spry for learning experience, we'll be glad to assist; please let us know.

Attachments dont download from Gmail in Safari, They disappear,I even tried re-downloading Safari and that download disappeared, it is not in my downloads folder, I actually searched in finder for the file and it is nowhere on my computer. Please help!
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
I have a MacBook Pro. My mac can detect wifi. But will not connect anywhere. I did get connected via TCP/IP settings but I can't connect to any wifi anywhere. Network diagnostic has a green light for wi-fi and wi-fi settings. Red light for the rest. (Network settings, ISP, Internet and server.)
Hello NotAppleSavy,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like the computer wont connect to networks. I see you have used network diagnostic. I would recommend that you read this article, there are a lot of other things you can do in this article that may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
